The weather was getting colder and colder, and Chen Yun had to use a coal stove to keep warm in the store. But she was afraid of carbon dioxide poisoning, so she took Zi Rui to walk by the window from time to time.

"Mom, let me recite a poem for you." Zi Rui said to Chen Yunxian as they walked.

Chen Yun stroked his hair and said, "Sure, what poem do you want to recite?"

Zi Rui recited, "Red beans grow in the south, and sprout on a few branches in spring. I hope you can pick more, for this is the most representative of lovesickness." He recited it fluently, with almost no pause. When he finished reciting, he saw Zhu Xiaofang come in.

She was dressed very modernly today, wearing a woolen top with a slanting collar, leather pants, and her bangs were blown up, looking like a beauty on a calendar. As soon as she came in, she said to Chen Yun, "Are you going to have anything else to drink today? I've invited someone over."

Chen Yun pointed at her drinks and introduced them, "There are taro and black sesame glutinous rice balls, red bean and mung bean soup, and osmanthus rice wine." These three dishes were stewed early in the morning. There are not many people coming to Chen Yun's place to drink now, but there are quite a few. After all, the university has a large flow of people, and as long as the food tastes good, people will definitely come.

Also, Chen Yun has a rule that you cannot sit at the table without buying something, so everyone who comes in to drink has a sense of enjoyment, at least they are financially well-off and can afford the drinks.

The environment here is the best and very quiet. Most of the people who come here to buy accessories and stationery are girls. They leave after buying. Therefore, many people come here because the environment is the best and most convenient to discuss something.

"Then let's have two servings of taro dumplings." She smiled as she watched Chen Yun cooking dumplings with her child. She had a wonderful feeling. It had only been a short time. Chen Yun had also changed very quickly. She was very happy to be a teacher in Longcheng at the beginning. She thought Chen Yun would live in Longcheng for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect her to come to Beijing so soon.

Life is so unpredictable, but this is no longer Long Cheng’s family building, and they are no longer a military wife.

Zhu Xiaofang waited for her guest, but Chen Yun didn't pay much attention to her. She carefully cooked her own sweet soup and served it to her.

The soft and sticky black sesame dumplings surprised the customer. He glanced at Chen Yun and waved at her: "Boss, can you take this out?"

Chen Yun was prepared, "Sure, but there will be a takeaway fee."

Zhu Xiaofang pulled the guest aside to chat again. This guest was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and also a famous producer of CCTV. He was planning to make a special program on "Xiao Yue". Zhu Xiaofang had watched many special programs in her previous life, and she wrote a special plan for it. The producer thought it was very innovative, so they made an appointment here.

If Zhu Xiaofang goes out, she doesn't have that much money. Her self-funded studies cost her a lot of money, and living expenses also cost money. She also needs to actively expand her network, so she can only make an appointment here.

Take out the steamed taro from the rice cooker, put the glutinous rice balls in the pot first, and then put the black sesame paste and taro. Soon the aroma filled the whole store. Many people who walked by were attracted by the aroma, but because the price was a bit expensive, not many people chose to drink it. Chen Yun sold this taro black sesame glutinous rice balls for seven yuan. The reason why it was so expensive was because she didn't make many glutinous rice balls at home, and it was very hard to make taro, so she only made it for people who wanted it.

Zi Rui wanted to drink too but was stopped by Chen Yun, "Don't eat too much. I just had lunch with my mom. Let's go home and eat chicken legs tonight, okay?"

"Okay." He said okay, but his eyes kept looking into the pot.

This action made Chen Yun laugh and cry. After Zhu Xiaofang left, Chen Yun took out the inner pot of the rice cooker and washed it. I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I taught my child to write his name. The two characters "Zi Rui" were difficult to write. The child wrote on the notebook for a long time, and the size was different.

After the Chinese New Year, Zirui will be going to kindergarten in half a year. She is reluctant to leave her son. Her son is always by her side and is also a companion for her. When her son goes to school, she has to pick him up and she will be alone to run the store.

Beijing Family Home

It was snowing heavily, and many people were shoveling snow on the road. Liu Qiao, who was usually lazy, got up to shovel snow today. His friend Jiang Zhihui came to Beijing to expand his business, and came to Liu Qiao's house to play today.

He was impressed by Liu Qiao's achievements. He became the deputy head of the Beijing city at such a young age. He had never found such a talent. Liu Qiao's grades were not good when he was studying. He said he wanted to go abroad with them. Later, because Lin Jing did not go abroad, he would not be able to enter the university, so he joined the army.

Chen Yun knew that his friends were coming over, so she didn't open the store. Liu Qiao was sweeping the snow outside. Chen Yun put on her hat and scarf and patted him: "My son is at home, please take care of him. I'm going out to buy groceries..."

After she went to the market, there were not many vegetables left, so she bought a large pig's trotter, a chicken, a lot of quail eggs, and weighed some cooked dishes before going home. Originally, she wanted to invite guests outside, but Liu Qiao insisted that he come home, so Chen Yun could only buy some dishes to cook.

Jiang Zhihui arrived home before her. When he saw Liu Qiao, he asked, "Do you know who I met on this train?"

"Who is it?" Liu Qiao asked with a smile.

"Who else? Lin Jing. It seems like she just went home to do something. She asked me about you in a hurry. Of course, her words were very subtle, but I am a person who can tell the difference as soon as I heard her." Jiang Zhihui looked ferocious, but his heart was more delicate than anyone else.

Liu Qiao also knows Lin Jing very well. "She looks serious, but actually she always wants some excitement. She was the same when she was with me before. I have settled down now. My wife is very beautiful, but she never looks at anyone else, no matter how rich or good they are. She is already married, but she still thinks about other men. Even if she thinks about me, she can't do that."

He had many girlfriends before, but they were all unmarried and it was all consensual. There was nothing wrong with it. Now that both parties are married, he is still thinking about me. This is too ridiculous. If he is still in Longcheng and a soldier now, I guarantee that Lin Jing thinks her decision at that time was great.

Jiang Zhihui was inevitably a little embarrassed after hearing this: "It's nothing. You see, I only said this one sentence, and you said so much. It's just that a few women like you. You, a deputy head of the group, are afraid of this."

Jiang Zhihui is a businessman. There is no such thing as a simple relationship between men and women in the business world. Not to mention the business world, even in some companies, the relationships between men and women are messy. Since Liu Qiao has managed to get to this point, he is a utilitarian person. Why should he pretend to be a saint?

"That's not what I mean." Liu Qiaoqing knew that he was different from himself after entering society.

Men always think that they will not suffer any loss. It would be great if they could have a casual affair with a woman without having to take any responsibility for each other and still find some excitement outside.

Especially looking for married women, so that everyone can have fun without affecting their respective families.

But Liu Qiao didn't think so. He didn't think he was a saint, but after he married Chen Yun, he realized that he couldn't stand other women no matter how good they were. Although Chen Yun didn't have the best family background, the best background, or even the most beautiful and talented, she was the most suitable for him.

Chen Yun came back with the dishes. Liu Qiao quickly put out his cigarette, took it from her, and said with concern, "It's very heavy, right?"

"Fortunately, is Zi Rui awake?"

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Zhihui and asked again: "Now that you are here, you two can talk first. I will go to cook."

Jiang Zhihui looked at Chen Yun again and felt that she had become much prettier, as if she had really grown up. Even though she was wearing an ordinary coat, one could tell that her skin was as white as snow. She spoke in a sweet and tender voice, and at first glance she looked like a little girl.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then she said to Liu Qiao, "You keep an eye on Zi Rui."

She went into the kitchen and first used a high pressure cooker to press the pig's feet, then took them out and stewed them with soybeans. After that, she fried a dish of fried chicken with oyster mushrooms. Last night, she fried a few side dishes before serving the two main dishes.

After the dishes were served, she saw Zi Rui watching TV in the living room. She wanted to complain to Liu Qiao, but she didn't say anything because there were guests. Her son's clothes were all in a mess, so she had to help him put on his sweater and trousers again, and put his coat aside, ready to go out at any time.

Jiang Zhihui said that he wanted to open a store in Beijing. He also came here to do some market research. He talked to Liu Qiao, "Now in our country, there are still not many daily necessities, and they are not complete. Many of our brands are very convenient and of good quality, which can improve our quality of life."

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "That's a good idea. It would be convenient if you don't live in our house."

Jiang Zhihui declined, saying, "I still have business to do and people to meet. It won't be good for you if you are seen here." His brother's presence here was the best protection he could get.

The two of them clinked glasses and drank for a long time. Chen Yun did not interrupt during the meal. She just saw Jiang Zhihui coughing a few times and calmly put the warm water next to him. This action made Jiang Zhihui very fond of her.

They drank until the afternoon, and Liu Qiao asked him to rest in the guest room, while Chen Yun took her son to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Zirui was a child with a strong learning ability and now he could stand on a stool to help his mother wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, the mother and son came out. Liu Qiao lifted Chen Yun's hand and kissed her: "Thank you for your hard work."

This man didn't know how many delicious things he had gotten from being sweet-mouthed. Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's not hard."

**

The next day, when I went to open the shop, Zi Rui started to complain about the cold and hid behind the counter. Unexpectedly, someone else came in to complain to Chen Yun: "It was so cold yesterday, I wanted to have a bowl of hot soup here, but I didn't expect you didn't open the door."

Chen Yun apologized, "I'm sorry, I had something to do at home yesterday. You can come drink today, I'll give you more."

She also paid for the heating, so it was relatively warm inside, but her counter was next to a vent, so she often had to warm herself by the fire, which was also a drawback.

"Boss, you are so beautiful."

Chen Yun looked up at another boy who was eating. He looked like a scoundrel. She kept a straight face and said nothing. The man looked bored and said nothing either. Everyone knew that the boss's husband was a military officer, a very powerful cadre. It was okay to take advantage of him verbally, but if he really offended her, there might be a big mess.

After a busy morning, Chen Yun finally had a break. She unexpectedly saw Lin Jing. Her lips were very white, and her legs were trembling when she came in. She asked, "Yunyun, do you have a hot water bottle here?"

Chen Yun pointed to the right side of the shelf: "It's there."

Lin Jing went over to get a hot water bottle, which was a bit cold, and asked Chen Yun to help her scoop a bowl of porridge. At this time, she did not say a word to Chen Yun. Chen Yun also treated her as an ordinary guest.

Then another man came in, ordered a bowl of soup and sat next to Lin Jing. He called out to Lin Jing, "Jing Jing, don't be angry. My mom just talks too much. It's nothing special."

Lin Jing felt that her life was like a pool of stagnant water. She had given up and devoted herself to living with her current husband. She complained, why did Liu Qiao appear in her eyes again, making her uneasy. The important thing was that Liu Qiao no longer paid attention to her, even though he had been so good to her.

I remember one time when she had her period and didn't know what to do, Liu Qiao went to buy sanitary napkins for her, but was constantly laughed at by his friends. She sometimes lost her temper and made a scene, and even said that they had no future because Liu Qiao's grades were too bad, and Liu Qiao just endured it.

At that time, her mother said that Liu Qiao was too tolerant of her, but now? Liu Qiao actually gave all his love to others.

Think about the scene when Liu Qiao carried her on the street on a bicycle, her head was pressed against his back, and the wind blew her hair. She might never have been so happy in her life.

Her current husband is a very nice person, he is an associate professor at a young age, and he is a native of Beijing. But he is not interesting at all, and he is not as sweet as Liu Qiao. He does a lot of things but he keeps them to himself, as if he has to wait for others to find out. No matter what she does, he will analyze it carefully, and he will not flatter her like Liu Qiao does.

In fact, she also knew that her mother-in-law had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Her supervisor when she was a graduate student was her mother-in-law, and she had always been trying to match her up with her son. She was indeed very happy when she first got married, but now she doesn't feel that way anymore.

She likes to cook, but she doesn't like to cook. Cooking occasionally is a mood, but cooking every day makes her look like a shrew. She wants to spend more time writing essays, publishing papers, and achieving success in her career.

So they and their wife often ate in the canteen, but the mother-in-law felt that she had been eating in the canteen all her life. She originally wanted to find a daughter-in-law who could cook, but she didn't expect that after marrying her daughter-in-law, they basically never cooked at home.

A conflict arose. Plus, she was older now and it was unlikely for her to get pregnant, so she couldn't help but blame Liu Qiao for wasting her youth.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Mingyuan, I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable because I'm feeling anxious."

Seeing her like this, Yu Mingyuan couldn't help but comfort her: "Jingjing, it's okay, the baby will definitely be born."

Lin Jing heard the child vomit a few more times. Chen Yun saw that she was making too much noise. After all, she had given birth to a child, so she asked tentatively: "Sister Lin Jing, are you pregnant?"
