It took Chen Yun several days to tidy up the house. Fortunately, Liu Qiao helped her move things, so she just had to do some light work. As for Zi Rui's admission to school, he had to take the exam first and then be assigned to a class. Chen Yun helped her son change his clothes early in the morning. The ski suit sent by relatives made him look very handsome.
Liu Qiao walked in front holding his son's hand, while Chen Yun followed behind to collect the transfer certificate and household registration booklet and caught up with the father and son. Because Liu Qiao was wearing a military uniform, it was not convenient for them to hold hands outside, so Chen Yun inevitably felt a little disappointed.
Whenever they went out for a walk or shopping on the streets of Beijing, they would hold hands, and holding hands became a habit. However, after Liu Qiao finished taking care of his son's affairs, he had to go to the military district for a meeting, so he had to wear a military uniform.
Chen Yun quietly walked to Liu Qiao's side. Seeing him standing so tall, her heart warmed: "Husband, you are so handsome! Fortunately, you are taken now, otherwise I would definitely worry about you every day."
After hearing this, Liu Qiao was stunned for a long time, like a little boy: "Yunyun, do you want us to go back first?"
He saw that the woman's graceful figure could not be hidden even in the bulky down jacket, and she smiled sweetly when she saw him, as if he was her only one.
Chen Yun smiled secretly: "Let's talk about it when we get home tonight."
Liu Qiao, who has been married for several years, can't help but feel happy to see Chen Yun becoming more and more open. Before, she was too shy and couldn't help but feel a little restrained. Now she is open and he feels that he can't leave her. The two of them are getting more and more harmonious in this regard.
Liu Qiao was so attracted by Chen Yun that she basically had no other thoughts in her mind. After all, they were at the school. Chen Yun took her child to the Academic Affairs Office. She was afraid that they would not accept her son Zi Rui, and she was ready to plead for him. Unexpectedly, the Dean of Academic Affairs was very enthusiastic in helping Zi Rui to be assigned to a class, and even assigned him to a class with an experienced teacher. Chen Yun was so happy that she didn't know what to say, but Liu Qiao understood.
Chen Yun walked Zi Rui to school on the first two days because their residence was too far from the bus stop and Chen Yun found it inconvenient. So she went to the store and bought a "Dream Elf" brand motorcycle. The big red motorcycle allowed him to urge her to catch the bus every morning before she got up.
"Mom, Mom, I want to take a ride."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to school now."
The small motorcycle was very neat and fast, but it consumed a bit of gas. Soon Chen Yun was able to travel through the streets and alleys of Jiangning. One month after she arrived, she was assigned to a unit under the Jiangning Municipal Government, specializing in receiving the public.
After several years, she went back to work and still felt nervous. She let her hair down in the morning. As she had to open the shop more hours at that time, she also learned how to put on makeup. Chen Yun removed the stray hairs, drew the rough shape of her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and then put on lipstick. With this simple makeup, her complexion looked much better.
"Mom is done, let's go Zirui."
When Chen Yun went out, she found that the door opposite was open, and a perfect couple moved in, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The woman was leaning against the wall, and when she saw Chen Yun come out, she blinked, and Chen Yun smiled at her.
She first sent her son to school, and only reported to the new unit after seeing her son walk into the school gate.
Unfortunately, the new unit was being renovated, so she and several other new colleagues were sent to work at the seconded unit. Colleagues who had been seconded from the unit before also received them there.
The four colleagues reported in the new report were two men and two women. One of the men was fat and wore glasses. He was talking to a female colleague in dialect. Another female colleague also joined in. Chen Yun could not understand what they were saying, so she talked to another male colleague from the side.
This male colleague spoke Mandarin with a northern dialect, but he was very fluent and very young. He was assigned here directly after graduating from college. I don’t know if it was because she spoke Mandarin with this male colleague that the other three colleagues who spoke dialects also switched to Mandarin.
"Aren't you all from here?" asked the fat colleague.
Chen Yun nodded: "Well, no, I came here with the army from Beijing."
"With the army?" asked a beautiful woman with long hair.
Everyone started talking at once, and the young people were quite relaxed. Everyone introduced themselves to each other. The male colleague from the north introduced himself, saying that his surname was Bai, and his ancestral home was in the northeast. He came to Jiangning with his uncle when he was fifteen, so he couldn't get rid of his northern accent. The other three fat colleagues were from the local area, and the other two were from surrounding counties and cities.
The girl with long hair was named Jiang. She was still very young and unmarried. Before they had even said a few words, another female colleague brought them together.
The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the company. Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, everyone got along well. Moreover, the new company wanted to train them on their business. As the saying goes, "You can learn in three days and then you can get by." On the first day at the new company, Chen Yun got off work at five o'clock.
She drove her Sleeper motorcycle to the school gate to pick up her son, and happened to meet her new neighbor across the street, who greeted her warmly.
Seeing that she was not leaving, Chen Yun asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
The woman smiled and said, "I'll wait for a car to pick me up."
Chen Yun took her son home without asking any questions, because Liu Qiao's father was going to retire soon, so Chen Yun wanted to take the old man in. After all, they were not young anymore, and the main thing was to make it easier to take care of them.
After finishing her phone call with her parents-in-law, she saw her son in a daze. While putting rice in the rice cooker, she asked, "What's wrong, baby?"
Zi Rui said unhappily, "Mom, I really miss the kids in Beijing. The teachers here sometimes speak in dialect that I can't understand, and no one in the class recognizes me or wants to play with me."
With her son's personality, he can get along well anywhere, but Chen Yun forgot that he is just a little boy who also needs his parents' care. He was so successful in Beijing because he grew up there, so he is like a fish in water. But now in Jiangning, a place where he is unfamiliar with everyone, it is difficult for her son to really integrate into the society even if he has a good personality.
"Baby, it's Mommy's fault. Mommy and you will go buy some delicious food in the evening and you can bring it to share with your classmates tomorrow, okay?" Chen Yun looked at her son apologetically.
Zi Rui was very happy and wanted to wait for his father to come out to go together. However, Liu Qiao did not come back until seven o'clock in the evening. Chen Yun had to take the child to the store alone to buy some chocolate cake and chocolate with liqueur, intending to share them with his classmates after sending her son to school the next day.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Qiao came back, he was talking to the woman across from him. He saw Chen Yun and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did you go buy something delicious?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Yes, they are all for my son."
"Well, let's go in."
After Liu Qiao entered the house, Chen Yun heard the door opposite her was also closed. Chen Yun pretended to be casual and asked, "Who lives next door?"
Liu Qiao shrugged: "The person who came from the opposite door is the wife of a battalion commander under my command. She just arrived and told me about the many inconveniences here. If it weren't for the fact that her husband is okay, I wouldn't want to talk to her."
"Tsk, are you thinking that she's pretty?" Chen Yun said with a half-smile. The woman next door was really pretty, the kind of pretty that could be spotted at a glance in a crowd, making her look like a crane standing out among chickens.
Liu Qiao hugged Chen Yun nervously: "What's so beautiful about her? I tell you, I'm no longer at the age where looks matter." He will be almost 40 in a few years, and his life has not been smooth. Now he is assigned to this regiment, the quality of the soldiers is uneven, and it is difficult to lead them. The second battalion commander who just came here was selected by him, so he values him even more.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke."
Chen Yun didn't care much. At around 8pm, Chen Dafen brought over two braised pig's feet. She smiled and said, "It's a treat for you guys. It's delicious."
Chen Yun declined, "No, why not just leave it for Qiangqiang?"
"He has eaten a lot, and he will be going to junior high school next year. Now he is studying in the study, and I dare not disturb him, so I came to play with you." Chen Dafen had completely fallen out with Xu Lijie when she was in Longcheng. Xu was a person who would flatter whoever was in power. When Captain Xiao was squeezed out by Deputy Captain Liang, Xu completely stopped following the rules and was completely with Zhao Huimei.
After that, she had even fewer friends in Longcheng. Zhang Han's two daughters were not very patient to chat with her, and she did not make any close friends. Now that she was here, she felt doubly close to Chen Yun.
Seeing her bringing things over, Chen Yun felt embarrassed to let her go, so she brought tea over and drank tea and chatted with her.
"There are more and more people living here. I don't know anyone except Sister Zhang and you. Come to think of it, we had more fun in Longcheng before." They used to send food and drinks to each other and even go to each other's homes to eat dumplings. Now, the people who follow the army basically keep the door closed and no one knows each other anymore.
Chen Yun also felt the same way: "Yes, when I first went to Dragon City, I really felt it was so hard. Even buying vegetables was tiring. Now I think it's quite fun."
Chen Dafen criticized Xu Lijie's performance and said to Chen Yun: "I also came from a humble background, but I'm really not like that."
Chen Yun believed this. Although Chen Dafen was a bit straightforward and sometimes didn't know what was right or wrong, she didn't change her expression as quickly as Xu Lijie.
Chen Yun also took the opportunity to talk about Zhu Xiaofang: "She has settled in Beijing now. I don't know how Meng Xiang and her father are doing."
Someone like Chen Dafen was not surprised at all. Instead, she said to Chen Yun, "Actually, from the moment she became famous, I knew she couldn't stay in the Gao family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have borrowed money from you and me and ran away." She herself was reborn. In her previous life, she didn't communicate much with Hu Yongbing, so she didn't know much. But after knowing what happened to Zhu Xiaofang, she had a feeling that the Gao family could not accommodate someone as ambitious as Zhu Xiaofang.
