Chapter 129 Lessons



When the bean shreds were served on the table, Zi Rui was as picky as his father and would not eat the garlic sprouts. He kept picking them out. Chen Yun said to him, "This is better to eat."

"Mom, I won't eat it if there are garlic sprouts." Zi Rui turned his head away, just like his father who wouldn't eat it if there were coriander.

"No, you must eat it." Chen Yun was not used to his way of doing things, especially being picky about food. At home, you can choose the food, but when you go out, who will give you the right to be picky?

Feng Yu quickly said, "If he doesn't want to eat, forget it. Don't force him."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not used to this." Although she could see that her mother-in-law had objections to what she said, she still insisted on her own opinion. Under her coercion, Zi Rui obediently finished a bowl of bean shreds.

The little girl who lived next door couldn't even hold chopsticks properly, so she gave her a spoon and asked her to eat. She ate a bowl carefully and still felt unsatisfied. It was obvious that she was very hungry, so Chen Yun served her another bowl.

It was not until noon that the door opposite opened. It turned out that the woman opposite had returned, still carrying a lot of bags in her hands. Chen Yun frowned, and pulled the little girl out again and said to her, "Your daughter has been crying, so we let her play at our house for a while. Where have you been?"

The woman said impatiently, "He went out." Then she said to the little girl, "Come here quickly."

The little girl glanced at Chen Yun and ran over, and Chen Yun closed the door in an instant. She then pulled Zi Rui into the room and said to him seriously, "Didn't I tell you that I was going to pick up Grandpa and Grandma and asked you not to open the door casually? Don't open the door no matter who knocks, why don't you listen to me?"

She was very anxious. Just now there were outsiders around and she didn't want to talk about her son in front of them. Now that the little girl left, Chen Yun couldn't help it.

Zi Rui scratched his head, knowing that he had done something wrong. Chen Yun said sternly, "If you don't take my words to heart in the future, I won't want you to be my son anymore. There are so many valuable things in the house. What did I tell you?"

"Mom..." Zi Rui's tears suddenly flowed down.

His father is not at home most of the time. It is his mother who sends him to school, cooks for him, and even coaxes him every day. When he heard that Chen Yun didn't want him anymore, he immediately panicked.

"Go away, I don't want you anymore. I called you specifically to tell you this, and you just opened the door casually like that. You're in primary school now, and mom tells you every day that you're a big kid now and you need to have a sense of safety. Think about it yourself..." She said and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zi Rui clung to her legs and immediately said pitifully: "Mom, Rui Rui didn't mean it, please forgive me, okay? Mom, my mom..."

His shouting made Feng Yu and Liu Zhiguo outside knock on the door, thinking that she was beating the child at home. Chen Yun opened the door, and the little tail Zi Rui followed her out.

Feng Yu said to her, "Just talk to Ruirui and don't talk about him."

"I don't want to blame him, I told him many times not to open the door, but today he opened it wide. Now nothing happened. But he is so unguarded, what will happen in the future? Think about it, he is my only son, and his father is often not at home, and we adults can't follow him all the time. If he is still so disobedient, what will our family do if something happens in the future?" Chen Yun was getting angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she took away the child's hand that was clinging to her.

Although Liu Zhiguo usually seems to be particularly strict with Liu Qiao, now seeing his grandson's pitiful state, he couldn't help but speak well of him to Chen Yun: "Yunyun, he is still young and doesn't understand these things. Now he knows he is wrong. Come, let me ask him."

"Ruirui, don't open the door casually from now on? Do you hear me?" Liu Zhiguo asked Zirui.

Seeing that Sun Zi nodded, Feng Yu said a few good words for him, and Chen Yun finally relaxed.

With her parents-in-law by her side, Chen Yun enjoys a much better life than before. Firstly, there are people to help pick up and drop off the children, and secondly, her parents-in-law take care of the cooking, so she just has to go to and from get off work every day.

When Liu Qiao came back a few days later, the couple were able to go out to eat alone. Liu Qiao, wearing casual clothes, gently held Chen Yun's hand, and saw that she was as happy as a little mouse to take a break from her busy schedule.

"Yunyun, how are you doing recently? Is there anything about my parents that you are not used to? Tell me and I will tell them."

Chen Yun waved her hands: "They really helped me a lot when they came here. You can see that my face has gained weight in the past few days. I don't have to take care of the baby or cook for them. I am so blessed!"

Liu Qiao looked at his wife's face carefully, and he realized that she had been used to doing the housework and taking care of the children, but she had suffered. He used to tease her that she had lost weight, and she was very happy. In fact, before she got married, she still had baby fat on her face, which was so cute!

"Yunyun, let's have dinner today and then go to the movies, okay?"

Chen Yun was very surprised. After taking care of the children for a long time while running a shop or working, she no longer had any space of her own. Now, after hearing her husband say this, she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The temple fair in Jiangning was very lively. Chen Yun hadn’t been out shopping like this for a long time. She bought a string of candied haws like a child. She ate one and then put it near Liu Qiao’s mouth. Liu Qiao lowered his head and took a bite. It was sour and sweet and very delicious.

Chen Yunle said, "It's delicious, right? I've wanted to eat it for a long time, but I'm afraid that if I buy it, my baby will want to eat it, too. He can't have cavities now."

"Okay, buy it for my wife. Buy whatever she wants to eat." Liu Qiao looked doting.

Chen Yun rarely acted coquettishly: "My feet hurt, let's walk slowly."

Unexpectedly, Liu Qiao bent down and wanted to carry her on his back. Chen Yun was really afraid of being shot at by the eyes around her, so she refused: "Just hold on to me."

Liu Qiao knew that she was too sensitive about her reputation, so he didn't expose her. He just held her and walked with her. He was tall, so Chen Yun felt very safe when he walked next to her.

At the temple fair, a man selling salted duck kept inviting everyone to come in and taste it. Liu Qiao also took Chen Yun in and sat down. They ordered a few dishes. Chen Yun looked around boredly and unexpectedly saw the couple who lived opposite them. The man was coaxing the woman. The woman smiled occasionally, and the man smiled foolishly.

Chen Yun pulled Liu Qiao and said, "Honey, isn't that the second battalion commander? Why is he trying so hard to please his wife?"

It's not that Chen Yun wants to gossip about others, but the woman next door basically doesn't take care of her daughter. Sometimes her daughter cries outside the door, and either her family gives the girl some food, or other military wives come. The woman seems to be just a decoration, which is really puzzling.

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "They actually have a pretty good relationship. The Second Battalion Commander dotes on his wife, but if he dotes on her too much, he's arrogant. He thinks everyone is like his husband and can tolerate her. But in fact, what does she count for?"

This woman actually came from an ordinary family, but she was a little bit spoiled. Of course, Liu Qiao could not deny that beautiful people would be a little proud, and even Liu Qiao himself was more confident because of his appearance. The second battalion commander liked her very much and pursued her for several years. At first, the people in the second battalion commander's family did not agree, and they finally got together after several years of hard work.

Liu Qiao even went to ask the second battalion commander about this. The second battalion commander himself said that women are just like that and are actually quite nice to him.

Liu Qiao didn't have much to say, but the way the woman talked to him that day, she might have wanted to find fault with him so that he would be interested in her and get some benefits for her husband. But Liu Qiao was not someone else. There were very few women in the world as pure and lovely as his wife, and he looked down on that kind of people.

"Okay, let's not talk about her. Let's talk about you. Have you been particularly hard-working recently?" Chen Yun looked at Liu Qiao with heartache, and even held his palm in her own hand to check some of his minor wounds.

Liu Qiao stroked her hair with his free hand and shook his head gently: "It's not hard. When I see my Yunyun, everything is not hard for me. How is the new job? Will it be sad?"

"I'm not sad. We're all young and get along well. I just miss you so much. If you were by my side every day, I wouldn't be afraid of anything." She is still the same as before. Sometimes she feels aggrieved when she misses Liu Qiao. She may forget about him when she is busy, but once she is free, she misses her husband especially. Especially in the past few years, after the two of them were honest with each other, their relationship is much better than before.

She cherishes very much the days when her husband does housework with her. Every time Liu Qiao mops the floor in front, she will stare at his back for a long time. Although her husband may not be perfect in the eyes of others, he gives her a great sense of security.

"Miss me, Yunyun? Let's go take some more pictures. Yunyun is so pretty, it would be a shame if we don't take some."

At this time, the duck blood vermicelli soup and salt water duck were served. Liu Qiao deboned the duck and gave it to Chen Yun, taking care of her very carefully.

Chen Yun happily took a bite, and Liu Qiao picked up whatever she liked to eat, taking care of her like a child. She felt that she was so happy today after having been with Jiang Ning for several months.

After dinner, the two of them went out hand in hand to watch a movie. They went to see the movie on a pre-arranged basis, as there were only Hong Kong films showing in the theater. Chen Yun hadn't watched a movie with her husband for a long time, and she was very excited, almost like a child.

Seeing her like this, Liu Qiao felt very guilty. He looked at her almost obsessively. If he could really come back alive, he would definitely treat Yunyun well in the future.

After leaving the hospital, Chen Yun was still describing the experience to Liu Qiao with her hands and feet dancing. Liu Qiao put his arm around her shoulders lovingly and said, "Yunyun, I'll bring you here next time. We'll go back and buy you some of your favorite cookies."

It was the first time she went home so happily with her husband. The stairwell of the building was very dark, but she was not afraid of anything with her husband by her side. When they arrived at the door of the house, she and her husband tiptoed in, as they were both afraid of waking up the family.

But after the door was opened, the baby still rushed over and asked angrily, "Dad, Mom, where have you been?"

Feng Yu explained: "Today I wanted to take him to McDonald's but he refused to go. He said he wanted to find his parents and now he won't sleep."

Chen Yun and Liu Qiao looked at each other guiltily.
