Liu Qiao said in a very manly way: "Of course, you are my woman, if I don't protect you, who will?"

He gently brushed the hair off Chen Yun's face and pulled her towards him. "Don't be afraid, honey. I'll pick you up whenever I'm free. You have to be careful and don't let others take advantage of you."

Chen Yun nodded heavily, indicating that she understood. She was not very timid to begin with, and she had a nightmare at night. Liu Qiao hugged her when he went to sleep at night, and felt that he had played a joke too much.

The next morning, Liu Qiao was cooking porridge and personally served it to Chen Yun. Chen Yun kissed him and said, "Husband, let's go shopping together today, and you can cook for me later."

Liu Qiao agreed immediately.

The weather was too cold, so Chen Yun wrapped her son tightly and went out with her husband, buying a lot of goods. Liu Qiao saw that Chen Yun had a good eye, and she would not bargain too much for the things she had chosen. She bought a big bag and she towed it with a trailer. Liu Qiao always protected Chen Yun, and after they bought a lot of goods, they were too lazy to buy vegetables.

Chen Yun waved her hand and took her son to eat. Zi Rui pointed to McDonald's. Chen Yun had never eaten there before and was very curious.

"Honey, let's go in and eat."

Liu Qiao nodded in agreement.

First of all, Chen Yun didn't know how to order. She looked at the menu, which was different from other restaurants. She pointed to the burgers and French fries and ordered two sodas. Seeing the people next to her eating chicken wings, she also ordered two. In total, she spent more than 30 yuan.

The adults were fine eating it, but Zirui was different, especially with the French fries, which he ate so fast that even Liu Qiao laughed.

"Hubby, bring him here to eat when you have time. Look at this greedy little cat."

But foreign fast food is actually quite delicious. Chen Yun observed some spicy chicken wings, which are marinated and then fried. She can make them herself. If her son goes to kindergarten in the future, she can also make these for him.

After leaving McDonald's, Chen Yun and Liu Qiao actually saw Gao Guobin. He now had an untidy beard and his previous calm military image was no longer visible on him.

Liu Qiao walked up to him and asked, "Lao Gao, you are in Beijing too?"

"Liu Qiao, hey, Liu Qiao, is it really you? Do you know where Xiaofang is? I can't contact her recently. My mother is sick now, and Mengxiang has no one to take care of him at home. I have to go to work again. This time I came here to find her." Gao Guobin said sadly.

"Isn't she studying at Beijing University of Communication?" Chen Yun found it strange. She saw Zhu Xiaofang yesterday. She didn't seem like the kind of person who disappeared.

Gao Guobin asked again: "Studying? Then do you know which class she is in now?"

Chen Yun shook her head.

But at least Gao Guobin has a goal now, which is better than him being so chaotic. Chen Yun saw him leaving quickly. She remembered that when she first went to Longcheng, Gao Guobin was not so decadent, but full of energy, just like the battalion commander Hu Yongbing, strong and sturdy, which made people feel that this is what a soldier should look like.

Liu Qiao carried Chen Yun home and sighed on the way: "It's hard to imagine that this is the person who was considered by the leader at the same time as me. To be honest, he was ruined half by his wife and half by himself."

"Why is he blaming Zhu Xiaofang for his own problems?" Chen Yun felt that no matter what Zhu Xiaofang did, Gao Guobin just needed to keep his attitude the same. Just like Liu Qiao, he never failed to make a big deal.

"Why not? If it weren't for Zhu Xiaofang shouting about her relationship with Zhao Huimei, how could Gao Guobin be suppressed? If it weren't for Zhu Xiaofang, maybe Gao Guobin would really have a chance to be transferred to the First Battalion. At least he would be considered and become a quartermaster or something. He could have some money in his hand and take it home. It's better than suddenly changing careers like that."

After being demobilized, the Gao family didn't know anyone in the local area, so how could they be assigned to a good unit? This was a very practical question. Liu Qiao couldn't help but sigh for this former comrade.

The weekend passed quickly, and when Qian Jinglin came to Chen Yun's store again on Monday, he found that Chen Yun looked at him with an avoidant look, and there was a kind of fear in her eyes.

He laughed: "Boss, I'm not that scary, am I?"

Chen Yun remembered her husband telling her not to do anything too obvious, so she smiled stiffly: "No."

She still remembered the nightmare she had about the murderer. When Qian Jinglin asked for coffee, she silently served him coffee without saying a word.

Qian Jinglin obviously felt that Chen Yun was a little afraid of him, but luckily he had classes in the morning, so he left immediately after drinking his coffee. She cooked some extra tea eggs and steamed buns today, and sold a kind of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Zi Rui was clamoring for buns, so Chen Yun gave him one. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Xiaofang coming in angrily.

She raised her eyebrows and said to Chen Yun angrily, "You were the one who told Gao Guobin, wasn't I right?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Yun was speechless.

"What do I mean? When we were in Longcheng, you also knew my situation. Yes, I didn't marry as well as you did. My husband's family is an official, my mother-in-law is uneducated and likes to make trouble, and my husband and I have nothing in common. What's more infuriating is that I was alone in a place like the countryside, and my adoptive parents asked for money as soon as they saw me. I had a lot of trouble getting out of such an environment, so how could you just tell me my whereabouts?" Zhu Xiaofang was really speechless because of Chen Yun's stupid idea.

Chen Yun rarely quarrels with others like this. When she heard this, she was confused and said, "Your husband said that your mother-in-law is sick and there is no one to take care of your son, so he asked you to go back? Did he ask me and I deliberately said I didn't know? You are so sneaky, that's your business, I won't lie like this casually."

Zhu Xiaofang is not an ordinary person. She used to be a manager, so she has her own way of speaking. "Why did so many people in the family come to me when someone got sick? Think about it, it must be a cover. Think about when we first went to Longcheng, we had such a good relationship, and I always called you for good things. I also have a hard life. My adoptive parents sold me, my biological parents didn't recognize me, and I was sold to the Gao family, and my life was not good. Now I finally broke through the shackles imposed on me by the feudal society. I didn't want to divorce Gao Guobin, I just wanted to study and make progress. Now, I'm going to be arrested again. Are you happy?"

These words sounded harsh to Chen Yun's ears. She grew up in the countryside, and selling daughters for high prices was not uncommon. But considering that Zhu Xiaofang had gone from being ragged in the past to being so fashionable now, her life in the Gao family was not bad. She was about to open her mouth when she was interrupted by Zhu Xiaofang again.
