Chen Yun didn't say anything more about Zhu Xiaofang. She could only blame herself for her bad luck. Sometimes you can't always get what you want. The world doesn't revolve around you.

She took out a few pieces of chocolate cake from the ones she had just bought and gave them to Chen Dafen: "Give them to Qiangqiang."

Chen Dafen laughed and said, "How can I feel embarrassed? This is so expensive?" Although her husband is the head of the department, the family does not have enough money. She is afraid that Qiangqiang will repeat the same mistake, so the monthly expenses for nutritional supplements and interest classes are very high. Now the family does not have other electrical appliances except for the TV, so there is not enough money to buy snacks at home.

"Why is it expensive? It's not expensive. I just bought it for our Zirui to eat." Chen Yun said indifferently.

After a few more polite words, the two said goodbye and sent Chen Dafen out. Chen Yun saw the woman opposite again. She glanced at them and then closed the door and went in. Chen Dafen asked Chen Yun in a low voice: "Who is this?"

"She is the wife of a battalion commander under Liu Qiao." Chen Yun explained.

Chen Dafen frowned, "Then you better be careful, this woman doesn't look easy to get along with."

Women's intuition is very accurate. The woman living next door was dressed very coquettishly, and her makeup made people feel a little bit indescribable. Chen Dafen nodded to her and left.

Chen Yun also closed the door.

The next day, she personally sent the children to school. Zi Rui sat in the last row because he was tall and a transfer student. Sitting around him were all children younger than him. Chen Yun took out the chocolate and cake from the box and gave them to eat. The children didn't accept it at first, but seeing Chen Yun's gentle smile, they all said thank you auntie in Mandarin.

"Hurry up and eat. I'm Liu Zirui's mother. If you want to eat something delicious in the future, just go to Auntie's house. Can Auntie cook for you? Auntie can cook a lot of dishes. Next time, Auntie will ask Zirui to bring them to you."

With his mother by his side, Zi Rui instantly felt more confident. Chen Yun didn't want to give him a gift because she didn't know what kind of person his head teacher was. She talked to his classmates and comforted Zi Rui: "Mom will go to the school gate early to wait for the baby. If you are tired, eat the small cake that mom put in your schoolbag. I'll put two yuan in your trouser pocket. If you want to buy notebooks or food, go buy them yourself, okay?"

Seeing Zi Rui nod, Chen Yun kissed him before hurriedly leaving the school gate and riding away on her motorcycle.

The unit where I was seconded needed a master to guide the apprentice. The young master who guided Chen Yun was a girl with short hair who was very efficient. To learn new knowledge, you have to be serious and humble and treat yourself as someone who knows nothing. On the first day, she was looking through the materials and watching how she handled the documents.

It was time to get off work at 3pm. Chen Yun went to buy some groceries first. When she came back with the groceries, she found the woman next door carrying a lot of bags and walking on the stairs. A dirty little girl followed her. She looked at Chen Yun and glared at her coldly. The little girl shuddered. The fragrance of her slightly curly hair formed a sharp contrast with the little girl next to her.

Chen Yun didn't know what to say, so she went home, closed the door, and prepared the meal first.

When riding a motorcycle to pick up the child, Zi Rui was sitting behind Chen Yun, chattering loudly. He seemed to be in a good mood today. Chen Yun was happy to see the child happy too.

"Ruirui, mommy made your favorite braised fish. How many bowls of rice can you eat today?"

"Mom, Ruirui can eat five bowls of rice now."

"Really..."

When Chen Yun brought her son back, Liu Qiao hadn't come back yet. Zi Rui heard the footsteps and thought it was his father, so he hurried to open the door. Unexpectedly, it was the second battalion commander from the opposite door. Chen Yun took a look at the man, who looked very honest and tall and strong. She thought about the woman again and felt that they were not a good match.

Zi Rui stuck out his tongue before closing the door. Liu Qiao came back later and Zi Rui had already started eating. Chen Yun took out the dishes that had been placed in the rice cooker and brought them to him.

"Hubby, come and have dinner."

Sometimes Liu Qiao would have a drink, but today he didn't have any at all, and his face was quite solemn. Chen Yun was puzzled, and Liu Qiao couldn't say it. There might be a war in Taiwan Strait, and Jiangning Military Region also had to prepare for war. Commander Tian should have known it a long time ago, so he transferred himself here.

Liu Qiao's palms were sweating. His mood this year was completely different from when he was thirty years old, but he was a soldier and soldiers had to obey orders.

He finished the meal without any appetite. Seeing his wife busy helping their son with his homework at the desk, he felt it was very unreal. It was too heartwarming, and he couldn't bear to break this dream.

After seeing her son writing seriously, Chen Yun came out and saw Liu Qiao in a daze. She smiled sweetly and walked over to him, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Qiao finally came back to his senses. "It's nothing, Yunyun. I was just thinking about why the meal you cooked today was so delicious. You see, I didn't feel satisfied after eating it."

"What should we do? Let me make you some more noodles?" Chen Yun asked anxiously.

Liu Qiao waved his hand quickly: "No need, just sit with me for a while."

Chen Yun sat with him, not knowing why. Liu Qiao forced a smile with difficulty: "Mom and Dad will be here in a few days. Are you worried that they will spoil the child too much? If they do, tell me and I will tell my parents."

"Oh, it's okay. Mom and Dad are doing this for Zirui's own good!" Chen Yun knew very well that she couldn't say bad things about her parents-in-law in front of her husband.

Liu Qiao held her to his chest. He was reluctant to let go of such a good wife. If he really died, what would happen to her? If he let his wife become someone else's wife, he thought he would not be able to rest in peace even as a ghost. In this case, he must live a good life.

**

On the weekend, Liu Qiao had to go to training, so Chen Yun had to pick up her parents-in-law. Seeing that her son was still asleep, she was reluctant to wake him up, so she whispered in his ear, "Mom is going out to pick up your grandpa and grandma, so no one should drive the car. Do you hear me?"

Seeing Zi Rui throwing himself into the fight, Chen Yun heaved a sigh of relief and went down to take a ride as a warrior to pick someone up at the train station.

The train was delayed again, and Chen Yun was a little hungry, so she bought some pancakes at a roadside shop. After eating the big pancake, she felt a lot better.

Chen Yun called home from a roadside phone booth. When the baby answered, she gave another instruction: "Rui Rui, Mommy might be home a little late. There are pancakes in the pot. Baby, take them and eat them. Don't open the door. Don't open the door no matter who knocks. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, Mom." Zi Rui responded in a daze.

Only then did Chen Yun put down the phone.

After waiting for a long time, Feng Yu and Liu Zhiguo finally came out. Liu Zhiguo stood with his back straight. Feng Yu looked much older. Thinking back to when Chen Yungang got married, Feng Yu was such an elegant woman. Now she is old too. She couldn't help but sigh.

It was Liu Zhiguo who saw Chen Yun first. He tapped Feng Yu who was still looking around, and the old couple quickly walked towards her. Chen Yun smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, we are finally here. Let's take a taxi back. Zi Rui is still waiting for us at home. He might be hungry."

When they heard that their precious grandson was hungry, the two elders quickly quickened their pace. Chen Yun took the luggage from Feng Yu and helped her carry it as they went to catch the bus.

After getting in the car, Chen Yun said to the two elders: "I will make some shredded beans for you to eat at home in the morning. I will cook at noon. I bought all the vegetables yesterday and put them in the refrigerator."

When Liu Zhiguo asked about Liu Qiao, Chen Yun said, "He went to training. Their training has been very strict recently. He may not be able to go home for several days."

Liu Zhiguo did not comment: "He is a soldier, he should endure more hardships."

That being said, one has to take care of one's own man. Liu Qiao already had a lot of hidden injuries, and Chen Yun was afraid that he would be plagued by illnesses when he got old. So of course she hoped that her husband would be safe and sound, and it would even be better if he could change his career when he was in his forties.

Grandma Feng Yu was more careful, thinking about her son's health and grandson's life. "Liu Qiao said he was hospitalized before. Is he okay now? Has Zi Rui adapted well after transferring to this school?"

Chen Yun explained: "He recovered very well, and basically nothing was left. When Zi Rui first came, he was a little uncomfortable, but now he is fine."

The three of them arrived at the gate of the military unit. After Chen Yun paid the money, she took her parents-in-law upstairs, but found that her door was open. She got anxious for a moment, but saw Zi Rui sitting and watching TV with the little girl opposite.

Chen Yun, who was frightened at first, finally came to her senses, "Zi Rui, didn't mommy tell you not to open the door?"

Zi Rui stood up and said at a loss, "Mom, I went to open the door because I heard someone crying."

The girl next door didn't say anything. Chen Yun didn't know what to say when she saw the girl. She even took out some snacks from home and gave them to her. Feng Yu frowned when she saw her dirty clothes. Chen Yun whispered, "It's the girl next door."

Since Zirui often talks on the phone with his grandpa and grandma, he is not a stranger to them. Moreover, Feng Yu loves him so much, so Liu Zhiguo is a little strict with Liu Qiao and is also very kind to the baby.

Seeing Liu Zhiguo take out toys from the bag, the baby came over and started chattering. Feng Yu brought a lot of things over and while opening the boxes, she told Chen Yun what she brought.

"Nuo, these are the skin care products your sister asked me to bring to you. They were bought from France. This is chocolate for Zirui, and these are the clothes your parents asked me to bring for you to wear in the summer..."

Chen Yun took a look and was quite happy. She quickly took her skin care products and clothes to the room and asked her parents-in-law to rest first: "You two take a rest first, I'll go cook the bean shreds."

She hurried to the kitchen, put oil in the pan, sautéed garlic and ginger, poured water in, shredded the meat, cut the garlic sprouts and green and red peppers into long strips, and when the water boiled, added the bean shreds, fermented black beans, soy sauce, and side dishes. When she was serving the bean shreds, she noticed that the girl next door was also looking at her with her hands in her mouth.

"Let me serve you a bowl too, little girl." Chen Yun said softly.
