The city of Jiang in July was as hot as a furnace. The Hongshanhua electric fan made a squeaking sound. Chen Yun turned on the third speed but still felt stuffy.

She couldn't help but pick up the magazines on the table and fanned them vigorously. Chen Yunsheng was white and plump, and her whole body looked like cotton candy, but fortunately she had a small face, with a pair of big grape-like eyes on her oval face, and long, flickering eyelashes, which made people feel happy when they looked at her.

With a snap, she put the book down again, turned on the tap in the bathroom and washed her face, only then did she feel a little cooler. Her home was a rare large house in the 1990s, with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, a total of more than 160 square meters, located in the center of Jiangcheng City, with a park nearby, a rare beautiful environment, and there were security guards outside the community, so it was also very safe.

"Yunyun, why don't you sleep a little longer?" A middle-aged woman dressed fashionably came out of the kitchen.

Chen Yun's mother Zhang Meixiang opened a small clothing factory with her father, so she always wore Western clothes. In addition, Chen Yun's parents were both from the countryside. They worked as apprentices in a tailor shop in Jiangcheng for decades before they achieved their current success. Therefore, they were inevitably partial to their daughter who had always been in the countryside.

She shook her head: "Mom, I won't sleep anymore. I can still sleep in the afternoon anyway."

Chen Yun studied at a medical school and was originally assigned to work as a nurse in the county town, but her parents used their connections to get her a job as a nurse at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Jiangcheng. She had to go to the hospital for the night shift at 12 o'clock in the evening, so she had time during the day today.

"Then go downstairs and buy some breakfast and come up. Mom is cooking porridge in the pot, so you have to keep an eye on it." After saying this, Zhang Meixiang went back into the kitchen.

In fact, people in Jiangcheng usually eat breakfast outside. There are hot dry noodles, soda cakes, pot helmets, noodle soups, beef rice noodles and other foods. Chen Yun has a bowl of hot dry noodles every morning, with thick sesame sauce accompanied by red sour radishes and crunchy peanuts. The last few bites are especially delicious.

However, Chen Yun never refused her mother's kindness. Although she lived with her grandfather and grandmother in the countryside, she did not blame her parents.

Chen Yun's home was on the third floor. She tidied up a little. There wasn't much in her home except for clothes. She wore a pink dress, white leather sandals, and tied her hair into a ponytail before going out.

The girl was innocent and lively, but she ran down the stairs too fast and bumped into someone. Fortunately, the person helped her up. She apologized quickly before she even saw the person's face clearly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." After all, her body was so weak, what would she do if she really hurt someone?

"What, Yunyun, don't you recognize me?" The young man teased her with a smile.

"Brother Liu Qiao..." Chen Yun smiled when she saw that he was an acquaintance. Liu Qiao was Chen Yun's savior. When she was a child, she was kidnapped by traffickers. It was Liu Qiao's father, Public Security Bureau Chief Liu Zhiguo, who rescued her. Therefore, the Chen family would go to the Liu family to give expensive gifts every New Year and festival, just because their family saved her.

Liu Qiao is eight years older than her. He joined the army after graduating from high school. It is said that the specific branch of the army is still quite confidential. Now he is at the level of deputy battalion commander. For people from such cadre families, not only Chen Yun but also her parents respect them.

I met him a few years ago when Liu Qiao came back to visit his relatives. His girlfriend is so beautiful and she is a university teacher. Is he coming back to get married this time?

Liu Qiao looked at his younger sister, Chen Yun, whom he hadn't seen for several years, and said to her like an older brother: "My parents said they would invite Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen to dinner. What are you doing now?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "My mother asked me to go buy breakfast. Why don't you go up first, Brother Liu Qiao, and I'll buy breakfast and go up later. Oh, by the way, are you late for breakfast? Do you want me to bring it to you?"

People in Jiangcheng call eating breakfast "too early". So inviting her parents to her home so early in the morning shows her sincerity, so she must be more enthusiastic and considerate.

Liu Qiao was quite familiar with Chen Yun, so he didn't pretend to be polite: "Then let's have a bowl of hot dry noodles."

"Oh, okay."

Chen Yun bought two servings of hot dry noodles, four steamed wheat buns, and boiled buns with lotus root filling, and ran upstairs. After opening the door, she found Zhang Meixiang talking to Liu Qiao. Although Liu Qiao was thirty years old, time had been very kind to him. He looked very imposing in his straight military uniform.

Zhang Meixiang was talking excitedly with Liu Qiao. Her topic was all about her two children. "Our daughter Yunyun is doing very well, but working the night shift is too hard. I told her to stop working, but she didn't listen to me."

"Mom." Chen Yun was a little embarrassed. "Why are you saying all this to Brother Liu Qiao?" She handed the hot dry noodles to Liu Qiao, and hurriedly took out the white foam bowl and stirred it desperately with chopsticks. You can't eat hot dry noodles dry, you have to stir it with chopsticks, and the more frequently you stir, the better.

Zhang Meixiang served some porridge to Liu Qiao: "Try the vegetable and lean meat porridge made by my aunt. I saw people in Guangdong make it this way. It's quite light and delicious." Her family not only has a factory, but also two clothing stores. Since Guangdong is very close to Hong Kong and is at the forefront of fashion, Zhang Meixiang and her husband would also go there on business trips and inspections.

Although they came from the countryside, they were not the kind of people who would settle for less. It was because of their enterprising spirit that they were able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangcheng.

Liu Qiao was very considerate and not only ate the hot dry noodles, but also drank the porridge that Zhang Xiangmei served.

After finishing her breakfast, Chen Yun started to open her pocket book which was her spiritual food and read it. At that time, many rental bookstores were prepared for girls like them. Today, Chen Yun was reading a book called "The Sadistic Prince". Liu Qiao glanced at Chen Yun who was reading the novel openly.

He had amazing eyesight and he took a quick look. The words "petals... rough... round..." made him frown. What kind of novel was this? It was so erotic. If someone didn't know, they would think it was a pornographic book.

Zhang Meixiang casually put the bowl in the sink and came out to accompany the guest Liu Qiao. Women of their age love to talk about marriage and having children the most.

"Xiaoqiao, are you coming back to get married this time? I heard from your mother that Xiaojing was transferred to Beijing University as a professor?" Zhang Meixiang usually had some contact with Liu Qiao's mother Feng Yu, and would occasionally ask a question.

But Liu Qiao showed a bitter smile on her face: "No, Auntie, we broke up."

"Break up?" Zhang Meixiang was surprised.

Chen Yun also looked over, somewhat incredulous.

"Why did they break up when they were about to reunite?" Officers at the deputy battalion level can have their dependents accompany the troops. Liu Qiao didn't have that qualification before, but now he is at the deputy battalion level, so Lin Jing can accompany the troops, and the two of them can be together.

The author has something to say: I started a new article in the middle of the night. I will probably start updating this article after my previous book, The Daughter of a Concubine, is finished. If you like it, please bookmark and click on it.
