Feng Yu really felt that she liked Chen Yun more and more. With her around, the family became popular. She was reluctant to let her cook. "Whatever you like to eat, your aunt will cook it for you. Your brother Liu Qiao will leave tomorrow. The meals I cook at home are often wasted. You can just accompany me for dinner when you are free."
"That's great." Chen Yun did not refuse.
Feng Yu was even happier when she heard this, and she didn't even let Chen Yun help with clearing the table, and she rushed her to Liu Qiao's room to talk. To be honest, this was the first time Chen Yun had visited Liu Qiao's room, because before when she came to their house, she was always in the living room or in the kitchen, and Liu Qiao's room was always closed.
There was a large white standing wardrobe inside, with a shelf next to it, and a large mahogany bed next to it. Cups were neatly stacked on the bed, like tofu blocks. There was a large desk next to the bed, and a camera was placed on the desk. Chen Yun looked at it curiously, and Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Yunyun, let me take a few photos for you."
"Photos?" After all, Chen Yunbi is a young girl and she likes taking photos very much.
Liu Qiao nodded and said, "Why don't you stand by the window and I'll take a picture for you."
Chen Yun touched her hair shyly and asked, "Should I change into something nicer before taking photos?"
"No, it's fine this way." Liu Qiao glanced at her. She was wearing a pink long dress today. Most people would look gaudy in that dress, but Yunyun had fair skin and a very cute face. She looked pure and feminine.
But Chen Yun still felt a little uncomfortable, so she said, "I'd better let my hair down." She pressed the two sides of the clip on her hair and took it off her head. It was not easy for her to go out with her hair loose, so she said to Liu Qiao, "Can you get me a comb?"
Liu Qiao took out a long, thin comb from the drawer of the desk and handed it to her. Yunyun thanked him, but her hair was too thick and it was a little difficult to comb. Liu Qiao just watched her combing her hair, so graceful and so comfortable. How could he have thought Yunyun was still young before, when she was obviously so feminine.
Chen Yun looked at herself in the window, then stood up and leaned against the off-white curtain. She smiled slightly, and Liu Qiao immediately captured this moment and pressed the shutter.
"I gave the film to a friend of mine and asked him to develop it for me overnight. When I'm in the army, I can take it out and look at it when I miss you."
Chen Yun slapped her head when she heard him say that. "I forgot that you had to catch the train tomorrow morning. I'll go back now. You should pack your things early."
"Wait, I'll give you this address. If you have any unpleasant things in your life, you can write to Brother Liu Qiao and tell him. Brother Liu Qiao? Although he doesn't know much, he is willing to help you solve your problems." Liu Qiao handed her the note.
Chen Yun held the note and nodded, "Okay."
Liu Qiao was very apologetic: "I'm sorry, I just said I wanted to date you, so I can't be with you." He looked at Chen Yun tenderly. She had beautiful eyes, big and round, which twinkled whenever she spoke.
"It's okay." Chen Yun shook her head.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Perhaps because they were about to say goodbye, the two of them were silent all the way. He sent him downstairs as usual. Chen Yun did not rush to go upstairs today, but invited him to go upstairs, "You are leaving, my parents are here too, you should say goodbye to them."
Was this a formal acknowledgement of their relationship? Liu Qiao was delighted and followed Chen Yun upstairs.
Chen Yun took a deep breath and inserted the key. Zhang Meixiang and Chen Sipeng were arguing, but when they saw Liu Qiao behind Chen Yun, they immediately turned into two amiable elders.
They all respected their daughter's feelings, especially since Liu Qiao was such a good candidate. He became the deputy battalion commander by his own ability, not relying on his parents. Liu's parents were also very good people, and Liu Zhiguo was Chen Yun's savior. If their daughter had really been kidnapped, they would not have had the mood to do business, and their family would have broken up long ago.
Naturally, they would like to see such a talented young man with good character, handsome appearance, strong ability and caring nature pursuing their daughter.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Liu Qiao greeted politely.
Chen Sipeng smiled and said, "Liu Qiao, I heard that you are leaving tomorrow. Uncle doesn't smoke. Here are a few cigarettes. Why don't you take them to the army and give them to your comrades?"
Liu Qiao declined: "Thank you, uncle, I don't smoke much now." In order to leave a good impression on his father-in-law, the old smoker Liu Qiao lied and decided to smoke less this time when he returned.
As a businessman, Chen Sipeng often exchanges gifts with others. However, he does not smoke, but there are a lot of cigarettes at home. Every time, he either has to give them away or waste them.
"No, no, no, you take it with you. If you don't want to smoke, you can share it with your comrades. Uncle will give it to you." Since Liu Qiao was going to be his son-in-law, he wanted to help Liu Qiao build a good relationship with his comrades. It was not about bribing others, but about maintaining relationships.
Chen Sipeng went into the house to look for cigarettes, and Zhang Meixiang asked Liu Qiao, "What time is the train tomorrow?"
"It's half past six."
Zhang Meixiang looked at her daughter and said, "I'll ask Yunyun's father to drive you there tomorrow, so Yunyun can also take you there."
Who knew that Liu Qiao would reject her offer: "Auntie, Yunyun works very hard every day, and she has to go to work again tomorrow. My dad will take me there tomorrow. It is really important that you let Yunyun have a good rest."
"Well...if you want to leave, she should at least see you off." Zhang Meixiang also knew that her daughter was in a bad mood in the morning.
Liu Qiao refused again, "Let Yunyun have a good sleep."
Chen Yun was also afraid of parting, so she didn't want to talk about it at the station. She put on a smile and said, "Brother Liu Qiao, I can't see you off tomorrow, but I have something for you. Come in with me."
Liu Qiao was really curious and followed her in.
It was also his first time to enter Chen Yun's bedroom. It was all pink, even the pajamas on the bed were very cute. Chen Yun waved at him: "Come here quickly."
She was holding a beautiful little seagull doll. Liu Qiao chuckled, "Yunyun thinks her brother is a child?"
Chen Yun blushed and said, "This is my companion doll. I sleep with it every day. If you don't want it, forget it?"
When she said this, Liu Qiao took it immediately.
So, when Liu Qiao left, he carried a large plastic bag with a seagull in it.
When Feng Yu got home and saw what her son had brought, she smiled and said, "Is this from Yunyun?"
When did her son start to like the little girl's things? It must have been given by Yunyun. Thinking of this, she felt that Yunyun was so adorable.
Liu Qiao nodded: "Yes." He then said to Feng Yu: "Uncle Chen gave me cigarettes and insisted on giving them to me."
"Just take it. It proves that they treat you as a family member. Remember to write to Yunyun when you go to the army. I think Yunyun is a nice person. It would be even better if you two could get the certificate printed during the New Year," Feng Yu said expectantly.
Liu Qiao shook his head: "Let it be. I really want to marry Yunyun, but I can't marry her just for the sake of marrying her. I need Yunyun to truly accept me."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "That's right. It's so late. You should pack up and go to bed."
"No, I'm waiting for the photos. I'll pack my things and go back to sleep in the car tomorrow morning."
Liu Qiao didn't have much stuff and didn't want to bring a lot with him. Unlike his comrades who could carry back half a snakeskin bag full of salted duck eggs, he only brought a few changes of clothes, some water and biscuits, and slept in the car for a few days before getting off.
After he finished speaking, he urged his mother, "Go to bed quickly."
It was late at night when Liu Qiao got the photo back from his childhood friend and stared at it intently. What should he do? He started to miss her before he even left.
At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Liu Zhiguo drove to pick up Liu Qiao. When Liu Qiao was a child, he was naughty and mischievous, and he was beaten by Liu Zhiguo countless times. But this kid was sweet-mouthed and thick-skinned since he was young. Whenever his father beat him, he would run to his grandparents. Liu Qiao's grandparents would scold their son in return, and Liu Zhiguo would often be furious. But since Liu Qiao left home to join the army, his father never treated him again, but was silent and caring about him.
"Dad, you and mom should take good care of yourselves at home. If you feel unwell, go find my sister."
"Okay, got it."
The father and son didn't say anything else. Liu Qiao carried a bag and got on the train in a leisurely manner.
**
The next day, Chen Yun went to work and walked downstairs, but she didn't see the familiar car. She paused, then continued walking forward. Was she missing Liu Qiao a little?
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Qingqing, who had been gone for several days. Her hair was messy and her clothes were wrinkled. Chen Yun walked over and asked with concern, "Qingqing, are you okay?"
Qingqing looked at the department and saw that there were more people. She said to Chen Yun, "Yunyun, come out for a moment and I will tell you something."
They found a stairwell where few people were walking, and Qingqing suddenly started crying: "Yunyun, I'm divorced, what should I do? I told my parents, but they can't do anything about it. How can I face people in the future?"
"Where do you live now?" Chen Yun asked.
Qingqing sobbed and said, "I'm still living in the new house, but it's not my house. I'm moving out soon. He gave me a thousand yuan, but I'm not ready yet. What should I do?"
Qingqing is just an ordinary small-town girl. She works in a provincial capital like Jiangcheng. Her monthly salary is neither too much nor too little, and her family doesn't ask for her money. According to Chen Yun's calculations, the most important thing for her now is to move out.
"Why don't you go look for a house first? Do you want me to help you?"
"Well, I just don't understand why he suddenly doesn't want me anymore..."
At first, Chen Yun tried to persuade her with a few words, but after Qingqing talked about the same thing over and over again, Chen Yun became a little upset. She suddenly realized that she was actually different from Qingqing. If she got divorced, she would live a better life, find a way out immediately, and even let the man pay her more money instead of always being entangled in the past.
The author has something to say: In fact, no one can guarantee that they will not meet the wrong person. Because people's hearts are fickle, we can only take good care of ourselves, and we can live a good life even if we live alone.
p.s. Everyone must save money, don’t live paycheck to paycheck. When you encounter problems, money is still the most practical.
