Seeing the couple like this, Feng Yu felt embarrassed to say anything. As a person who had experienced this, she could certainly understand the young couple's desire to be alone. Besides, her daughter-in-law had worked very hard too. She came to Jiangning from Beijing without any complaints and took care of so many children by herself. It was her who took care of everything. She was still very understanding.
"Okay, you guys take Ruirui to bed today. I'll stay with him for a while. You guys go take a shower."
Seeing her son's aggrieved look, Chen Yun quickly agreed. They let the child sleep independently after moving to Jiangning. In fact, Zirui had not slept alone for several days.
In order to save time, the couple went into the bathroom together to take a shower. This time they took a long time to shower. Chen Yun was a little bit unable to stand up. She hit her husband with her naked body, "You really brought a condom when you came in."
Liu Qiao smiled proudly, "I have foresight!"
When they went out, Liu Qiao brought his son in. Zi Rui had already fallen asleep, and Chen Yun slept in the middle as before. She had just gone through the baptism and was a little drowsy, but unexpectedly Liu Qiao was still very awake. He whispered in Chen Yun's ear: "Yun Yun, I love you."
This is a very literary statement. Normally, the two of them would just say they like each other, and the word "cute" is rarely used in real life. Chen Yun glanced at him and said, "I love you, too."

After the spring, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhang Han wanted to take Chen Yun and her son to the Cultural Palace to sign up for an interest class. Zi Rui had been learning piano in Beijing, but after arriving in Jiangning, he was unfamiliar with the place and had not mentioned the idea. Now that her parents-in-law were coming over, Chen Yun remembered her son's interest in learning.
Zhang Han is very enthusiastic. In fact, apart from taking care of the children, the company's affairs are now fully handled by others. She still has a lot of free time. She happens to get along well with Chen Yun, and thinks Zi Rui is a well-educated child, so she is willing to interact with her.
After the children went in, Zhang Han and Chen Yun waited outside. She saw that Chen Yun had a little more flesh on her face, so she smiled and said, "To be honest, seeing you like this now, you look a bit like when I first saw you. In fact, when you get older, you realize that it is better to have some flesh on your body."
"Yes, my husband said the same thing. There is really no way to take care of children. They are actually very hard-working in the army. Fortunately, my parents-in-law help me take care of the children now, so I can relax a little." Chen Yun smiled, and it can be seen that she is full of infinite imagination about her future life.
Zhang Han looked at Chen Yun. She felt that what seemed like hard work to outsiders might actually be sweet to her. She used to think that Chen Yun was the daughter of a famous entrepreneur in Jiangcheng, but she was so nice to Liu Qiao and didn't have the temper of a spoiled young lady. At that time, she thought Liu Qiao was a smart person who could coax her into doing so well with just a few words.
Now it seems that if what you do can be sincerely praised by others, it is also worth it. Most women work hard at home all their lives, but in the end they can't get a verbal recognition from their husbands.
Chen Yun was in a hurry to pee, so she apologized to Zhang Han, "Sister Zhang, I'm going to the toilet first. You can keep an eye on Ruirui here for me."
She also knew that the classes inside would not be finished so quickly, so she just told Zhang Han.
When she finished using the toilet, she passed by a dance studio and saw the woman who lived opposite her teaching dance. It took her several months to find out that the woman's name was Cai Qijun. She usually didn't talk much to anyone and ignored everyone. Her daughter was like a little cat, often being beaten up by various families. Most of the military wives here came here with the army and were not bad people. They were all relatively simple and honest and couldn't bear to see a little girl suffer, so they would help her.
Chen Yun didn’t understand. Her daughter was suffering, but she was so glamorous every day. She didn’t know why?
When she came over, Zhang Han looked at her watch and said, "It will be over in five minutes. Let's go out for dinner later and then come back."
Chen Yun agreed: "That's great, our Zi Rui has been thinking about going out to eat and looking forward to it every day."
Chen Yun did not see any resistance on the child's face, so she went to the front desk to pay the bill, put the receipt in her bag, and then went out with Zhang Han to eat with the child. Xiao Lan's white skirt had a little mud on it, and she frowned and complained to Zhang Han: "Mom, look, my skirt is dirty, what should I do? I don't want to wear a muddy skirt."
"Just wear it for now. After we finish eating, Mom will take you to the mall to buy clothes." Zhang Han promised.
Xiao Lan's face brightened up. She was really pretty. When she got on the bus, several boys came to talk to her secretly. Zhang Han said to Chen Yun, "I'm worried that our Lan Lan has too many temptations and won't study hard in the future. You don't know that she is only in the third grade, and a boy in junior high school has written to her. Her father and I are afraid that she will go astray."
After hearing this, Chen Yun comforted her: "It's not a big deal, you just need to be strict. Now children's thoughts must be managed, otherwise they won't be able to study well if they fall in love early. But Lanlan doesn't look like that kind of child."
Zhang Han shook her head, seemingly losing hope.
They found a quiet restaurant with antique buildings. It was Zi Rui's first time to visit such a place. Xiao Lan proudly introduced him to Zi Rui. She liked this handsome little brother very much. Xiao Zhen held Zhang Han's hand obediently, looking so cute.
Of course the food in a restaurant like this can’t be bad either. Chen Yun even had an extra bowl of rice. She noted the place and decided to bring her children there next time.
This meal was treated to by Zhang Han, and Chen Yun refused to accept the money even if she had to. Chen Yun decided to treat them back next time.
After returning home, Chen Yun saw her parents-in-law watching TV. Liu Zhiguo had devoted most of his life to the public security department, and now he could watch TV comfortably at home. When Zi Rui came back, he wanted to grab the TV, but was stopped by Chen Yun's eyes.
"Ruirui, help mommy get her bag and come in. Mommy will paint with you."
Now that everyone's conditions are better, there are more and more children watching TV. Chen Yun doesn't object to him watching TV, but he can't be obsessed with it. Otherwise, he will be addicted to it every day. Chen Yun took out the drawing board at home and let him draw.
Liu Qiao came back in the afternoon. He smelled strongly of soap. Chen Yun covered her nose and said, "Honey, you smell so good."
Liu Qiao sniffed left and right, and pouted, as if to act coquettishly with Chen Yun: "It smells too good, isn't it?"
"Not good." Chen Yun shook her head.
Liu Qiao still held her tightly and deliberately went in. Hearing the laughter in the room, Feng Yu secretly said to Liu Zhiguo: "If it weren't for the national policy, maybe we would have several grandchildren."
**
As soon as the couple lay down, they heard the sound of glass breaking in the opposite door. Chen Yun turned on the desk light and thought that something in her house was broken. She immediately heard the man screaming, but then she couldn't hear any more sound.
She then realized that the man and woman next door were arguing, so she quickly turned off the desk light and lay down again.
The next day, my father-in-law had already gotten up and was taking Zirui to wash his face in front of the basin. Chen Yun said hello: "Dad, please take Ruirui to school."
She unlocked her motorcycle downstairs and saw the woman across the street unlocking her bicycle. Chen Yun didn't say hello. Cai Qijun smiled and said hello to her for the first time: "Are you going to work?"
Chen Yun nodded: "Yes."
The two of them just passed by each other like this, and Chen Yun went to work without looking back. The boss in the communication room sent her a package. Chen Yun opened it and saw that it was from Gu Tinglin. She was already engaged to her boyfriend, and she sent a lot of local specialties and wedding cakes. The letter also said that she was likely to stay in Beijing in the future.
Chen Yun was happy for her. She carefully packed the package away, and after work, she took the box home.
I met Hu Qiang in the stairwell. He was much more polite than before and even called Chen Yun. Chen Yun smiled and nodded. She went up the stairwell and saw Cai Qijun going out again in a beige skirt. The skirt showed her high neck, like a beautiful swan.
A few days later, Liu Qiao told her that he was going to a training camp outside Taiwan and asked Chen Yun to stay at home longer. Chen Yun asked, "Is it because of the Taiwan Strait crisis that you are going?"
Liu Qiao smiled and shook his head: "It won't come to that. We'll just go out for training."
Only then did Chen Yun feel relieved.
On the third day after Liu Qiao and the others left, Cai Qijun came to see Chen Yun. She never stepped into anyone's door, and Chen Yun didn't know what she wanted to do.
"I want to ask about our Lao Ruan." She said coldly.
The second battalion commander's surname was Ruan. Although Chen Yun had a cold face, her eyes showed concern.
She shook her head: "I don't know, they should all be out for training."
But Cai Qijun said, "Are you stupid? How could it be a training camp? It's because we're going to fight a war."
War? Chen Yun was puzzled: "No way, how do you know about this?" This is the Jiangning Military Region, not the Fujian Military Region, she didn't quite believe it.
Cai Qijun seemed disappointed that she knew nothing, so she turned around and left. Chen Yun's heart was beating like a drum. She returned to the house and saw her parents-in-law cooking and the baby running around the house. Everything seemed normal and warm. She heard her father-in-law cough a few times, but she still buried all the doubts in her heart.
Turning on the news, she saw that the pre-war mobilization had already begun. Chen Yun stared at the TV intently.
Feng Yu brought out the dishes with a smile and called her to eat: "Yunyun, come and eat, there is garlic sprouts and braised pork, you can eat one more bowl today, hehe..."
Chen Yun was afraid that her parents-in-law would notice something, so she smiled and agreed, "Mom is still the best. I won't be polite today." Then she said to Zi Rui, "Rui Rui, Mom will eat two bowls of rice today. What about you? How many bowls of rice will you eat?"
Zi Rui ran over and said loudly: "Mom, I want to eat three bowls of rice. I want to eat more than you."
Feng Yu called them over: "Come here, Yunyun, stop watching TV and drink some of the soup I made first."
"Okay, mom, please cook some more dried duck after dinner. Brother Liu Qiao said last time that he likes it." Chen Yun's eyes turned red unconsciously. How she wished he could stand in front of her, pointing at the vegetables she didn't like with his brows so wrinkled that he could pinch a fly, and coax her when she glared at him.
