A car accident, our family of three crossed

This recognition of relatives was a good start, and everything went smoothly afterwards.

The old lady wiped her eyes happily and waved to Song Ning. Song Ning walked over and let her hold his hand again.

"If your grandfather and the others hadn't stopped me, I, the old woman, would have brought you back to the capital a long time ago."

After saying this, she glared at the old Duke and the others unhappily.

"It would have been fine if we were far apart before, but now that you've arrived in the capital, they're still preventing you from seeing me. They insist on waiting until after your grandson-in-law passes the imperial examination before they can recognize you. Isn't that infuriating?"

"I was so angry that I packed my bags and went to Xiangguo Temple. I had planned to stay there until New Year's Eve before coming back." As she spoke, the old lady laughed: "Oh! I never thought that God would still be kind to an old woman like me. Look, they insisted on stopping us from meeting, but we could have met somewhere else. Sometimes, man proposes, God disposes. It was God's will that we met earlier."

Song Ning didn't expect that the old man would go through so much trouble behind the scenes just to see him. It was quite cute.

"Don't be angry, grandma. Grandpa and the others have their own considerations."

It was rare to hear someone speaking in his favor, so the old duke was very pleased and laughed a few times: "Hahaha, look at this child, how considerate."

The old lady was in a good mood today and didn't argue with him. She just rolled her eyes at him and continued to talk to Song Ning.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm so happy to see my sweet granddaughter! I won't bother with those grown men."

The atmosphere gradually became lively. The eldest lady came over from the side, covered her mouth and laughed, "If it weren't for mother's excitement, I wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong!"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she did, the Second Lady on the other side pinched Mr. Chu hard on the lower back.

Mr. Chu didn't dare to be angry or speak, and silently endured his daughter-in-law's anger.

Then, the second wife also walked over, with a somewhat complaining tone: "That's right! This whole family, old and young, are very tight-lipped!"

She took Song Ning's other hand and said with a smile, "But none of that matters anymore. What's important is that we finally officially recognized each other today. Since we're recognizing each other as relatives, we have to get to know our whole family again, don't you think?"

The others agreed and nodded.

The Third Madam came over and said, "Yes, yes, you are all getting to know each other again, but I am meeting you for the first time."

She pushed the first and second ladies aside, pulled Song Ning to look at him, and the more she looked, the more she liked him.

"We are stationed at the border, and only have the opportunity to return to Beijing at this time of year."

That was when there was no war. If there was a war at the border, it would sometimes take them several years to return to the capital.

She didn't want to spoil the fun by saying these things. She pulled Song Ning and pointed at the two sisters-in-law beside her and said to Song Ning: "These two are your eldest aunt and second aunt. You already know them without having to introduce them again. And I am your third aunt."

Song Ning saluted the three ladies without hesitation and said, "Greetings, my three aunts."

Just because Song Ning called them aunt, the three ladies grinned with joy.

"Those two over there, your eldest uncle and second uncle, you know them both. The big guy next to them..."

The Third Lady glared at her husband and said, "Why don't you come over? You're just standing there like a wooden stake!"

Mr. Chu Sanye cleared his throat awkwardly, took two steps towards this side and stopped.

"This is your third uncle, you haven't even seen him!"

After Song Ning saluted and called for help from Uncle Chu Da and Uncle Chu Er, he saluted Uncle Chu San alone and said, "Greetings, Third Uncle."

After standing up, he smiled again and said, "I think I have seen my third uncle before. That bearded general on the day the army entered the city was my third uncle, right?"

"You can even recognize this?" The Third Madam laughed and said, "Your Third Uncle! When he came home and heard that we were having a baby girl, he was afraid that the wild man's appearance would scare you, so he shaved his beard that night."

"Oh! Thanks to you, we can finally see his true face again. Otherwise, with that big stubble on his face, I'm afraid I would have forgotten what he really looked like after so many years."

Mr. Chu was already feeling a little guilty when facing Song Ning, and he felt even more embarrassed when Third Madam said this. He stroked his smooth chin awkwardly and smiled and nodded at Song Ning.

"Third uncle's appearance that day didn't scare you, did you?"

"No, you are a great general who protects our country's territory. I admire you so much! How could I be scared?"

Mr. Chu San looked at Song Ning carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she did not show any fear towards him.

This relaxation subconsciously brought out his usual speaking habits: "Well said, I like to hear that."

The Third Madam slapped him twice in annoyance. "What do you mean by 'old man'? Who are you? You can't even talk to your niece properly."

After scolding her own man, she pulled Song Ning aside and explained, "Your third uncle! He has been in the army for a long time, facing a bunch of men every day, and he is used to being rough. Don't bother with him."

Song Ning didn't think it was a big deal. He just called himself Laozi. In the era they lived in their previous life, this was nothing. People even said much more unpleasant and ridiculous things.

"Blame it on me, blame it on me. I made a slip of the tongue."

Mr. Chu Sanye also realized that his way of speaking was inappropriate and quickly admitted his mistake sincerely.

After recognizing the elders, the brothers of the same generation also gathered around with their wives.

After a few interactions, Song Ning gradually integrated into the group and became more comfortable.

She greeted them one by one in order: "Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law..."

When it was Chu Chen's turn, there was a slight delay.

"Little sister, we've met before. This is your fifth sister-in-law. She has lived in a border town since she was a child and rarely comes back to the capital. When you have nothing to do, you can often come and visit your fifth sister-in-law and go out for a walk around the capital."

Song Ning readily agreed: "Of course, as long as my sister-in-law doesn't bother me."

Chu Chen's wife hurriedly said, "How could that be possible! It's so rare to have a companion, I'm so happy!"

They were talking happily here, but the other sisters-in-law were not happy.

"Oh my! Fifth brother's wife has a new partner, so she ignores the sisters-in-law."

"No, sisters-in-law, please don't make fun of me."

During the entire process of recognizing relatives, Hang Shuheng followed Song Ning in calling people and performing greetings.

When it was Chu Xuan's turn, Song Ning almost blurted out "Seventh Brother", but unexpectedly Chu Xuan took the initiative to bow to them and said, "Little brother Chu Xuan, meet sister and brother-in-law."

This was something Song Ning had not expected. So, is Chu Xuan younger than her?
