"No need, I just have the Taiwan Dream Elf." Chen Yun said. After all, the car was not cheap. She knew that Liu Zhiguo and his wife had saved a lot of money, and Liu Qiao's salary was much higher now. Chen Yun also had the money, but she felt that she would spend less time driving the car after buying it, and she didn't know how to drive, so wasn't it a waste of money?
Liu Qiao said, "It's okay. When we go out to play, the whole family can go together."
"Then we'll go look for a car then." She then thought about what he said and it was true. It was very troublesome for the family to go out every time. It would be more convenient to be in Jiangcheng.
Zhang Han thought to herself, no wonder this couple gets along so well, rarely quarrels, and neither of them is stubborn with their own opinions.
Arriving at the Cultural Palace, Zhang Han sent her child to school, while Chen Yun came to pick up the child. Zi Rui rushed out of the classroom and saw his father was very excited. Liu Qiao was infected by his happiness and picked up his already tall son, rocking him up and down while listening to his son telling some cartoons.
When I came out, I ran into Cai Qijun. She seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. She looked at Liu Qiao and Chen Yun again and quickly came over to greet Chen Yun: "Sister Yun, are you here to pick up Ruirui?"
Chen Yun nodded, "Yes, we took Ruirui out for dinner. Didn't your Lao Ruan come back? Why did he come here today?"
Cai Qijun said happily: "Well, Lao Ruan will come over to take me out for dinner later. I won't bother you anymore, you guys go quickly."
Her enthusiasm was totally different from her previous attitude. Even Liu Qiao couldn't react. "Why are you so close to her? She is not as simple as she seems."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "We live together, we can't just not say hello." She also knew that Liu Qiao's opinion of her was that it would be best for her not to come into contact with people he considered dangerous. He always felt that she was simple-minded and not suitable for contacting too many people, as it would be easy for her to be deceived.
The couple took their baby to eat steak. Zi Rui had always wanted to eat steak since he had eaten there last time in Beijing. This western restaurant was opened by Chinese people, and some young people would come. When Chen Yun came in, she first found a seat by the window. Liu Qiao took his son to the bathroom and came over.
Liu Qiao suddenly whispered to Chen Yun: "Do you think that is Qiangqiang?"
Chen Yun was shocked and asked, "No way, where is it?"
Liu Qiao covered the two of them with a menu and pointed over there. Chen Yun looked and saw Hu Qiang and a little girl cutting steaks there. They seemed to be chatting happily and didn't see them.
"It should be a classmate." Chen Yun saw Hu Qiang eating steak and knew that such consumption was not something a middle school student could afford, especially from a family like Hu Qiang's. Although his father was an official, his family was not well-off and had been supporting his family for many years. Chen Dafen's salary at the canteen was low and she didn't even have decent clothes.
Liu Qiao frowned, and then he couldn't help himself when he saw the two middle school students kissing, but Chen Yun stopped him: "Go back and tell his mother. Why are you so concerned about it now? You are not related to him."
She also knows Chen Dafen well and regards Hu Qiang as her own precious eye. If Liu Qiao does anything to her son, Chen Dafen will not say anything about her son but will blame Liu Qiao instead.
After watching Hu Qiang go out with the girl, Chen Yun started to order food. Even though Zi Rui had only been here a few times, his movements and expression were extremely generous.
Chen Yun couldn't help but worry that her son looked like Liu Qiao: "What if our Ruirui also fell in love prematurely?"
Liu Qiao laughed: "No, my son has great self-control, right?"
"What do you mean by strong self-control? Look, his face looks just like you. I don't know how many girls will like him in the future. After all, his father was also a premature lover..." Chen Yun stuck out her tongue.
Liu Qiao held her hand and said, "Who made you so much younger than me? Otherwise, I would also like to have a premature love affair with you."
"How shameless." Chen Yun pinched his face.
The two of them were sitting there as if no one was around. Little Zirui said angrily, "Mom and Dad are ignoring me. Humph!"
Chen Yun quickly coaxed her son: "Then the little baby wants to eat this, can mommy help you cut it?"
Zi Rui crossed his arms over his chest and said, "That's good enough."

After returning to the family building, Liu Qiao went to the regiment office first, while Chen Yun went to Chen Dafen to talk about Hu Qiang. Unexpectedly, there was a guest at Chen Dafen's house. Chen Yun looked closely and found that it was the girl she had just seen in the western restaurant.
Chen Dafen was puzzled: "Chen Yun, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Forget it if you have guests."
Chen Dafen pulled her in and said, "What guest? She is Qiangqiang's classmate. Her father is a famous musician in Jiangning and is a good friend of our Qiangqiang."
Good friend? Maybe it's a girlfriend.
Chen Dafen would not fail to notice such a relationship. Chen Yun was surprised that as soon as she entered, the girl quickly stood up and greeted her, looking very polite.
Chen Dafen was very attentive to the girl. She had a big strawberry in front of her, which was obviously imported. Hu Qiang called Chen Yun when she came in. Chen Dafen smiled and waved to the two children: "You two can go into the room and talk. I'll chat with your Aunt Yun."
As soon as they entered, Chen Yun pulled her and deliberately asked, "Is this Qiangqiang's girlfriend?"
Chen Dafen nodded proudly: "Yes, we met in the studio. Qiangqiang is a very good painter."
She pulled Chen Yun aside and said, "Qiangqiang and she are a perfect match. This girl even brought milk for Qiangqiang to drink today. She is really polite."
"But Qiangqiang is only twelve or thirteen years old. Isn't it too early?" Chen Yun is a very traditional person, so she thinks the most important thing for students is to study.
At first, Chen Dafen was very much against it, but she only had this one son, and the other party was well off. She was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she would never have it again. Besides, she was reborn, and her son died at the age of sixteen in her previous life. If this life was really irreversible, then what was wrong with letting her son enjoy these things before he turned sixteen?
Of course, she also knew that Chen Yun had good intentions and was very grateful to her: "It's okay, as long as it doesn't affect my studies."
Since the mother had said so, Chen Yun had no choice but to smile and agree with her and said no more.
She also told Liu Qiao about this matter in the evening. Liu Qiao shrugged and said, "Let's just pretend we don't know about this matter. Since Chen Dafen herself agrees with it, then no one else has anything to say. Let's not say any more. Let's go and look at the car tomorrow."
When it came to buying a car, Liu Qiao's parents both agreed. Their family was already well off, and Liu Qiao was their only son. All the money they had saved over the years was given to him. Even Liu Zhiguo wanted his son to live a better life, so no one objected.
The whole family, young and old, came together to choose a car. All the men, regardless of age, loved cars. Not to mention my father-in-law and Liu Qiao, even the little guy Zi Rui ran around.
Feng Yu and Chen Yun didn't understand much, they just looked at the appearance. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought the black one was also good looking. Liu Qiao said, "The white one is good. Even if it is scratched, it won't be noticeable. Besides, Yunyun can still drive it when the time comes."
Chen Yun waved her hands quickly: "I don't dare to open it."
Liu Qiao actually flirted with her in public: "I'll teach you."
Even the parents-in-law couldn't stand it anymore. Feng Yu chased Liu Qiao over there like chasing a fly: "Don't be crazy here. Yunyun and I will sit here. You go over there."
In the end, they bought a white car with five cabins that ran on gasoline, which cost them nearly 100,000 yuan. Chen Yun brought her banknotes and passbook with her, but she didn't expect that Liu Zhiguo would have to pay for it.
"How old are you? How much money do you have? Don't buy it and end up poor. We two old people can live with you and it won't cost us much. We have to buy the car."
Feng Yu also drove the young couple there and refused to let them pay.
Seeing that Chen Yun felt a little guilty, Liu Qiao said to her, "If our parents want to pay, we will just accept it and show more filial piety to them in the future." He was the only son in their family, and by Liu Qiao's own tacit consent, all his parents' money was his. But he knew that Chen Yun had a strong sense of self-esteem, so he had to persuade her like this.
After deciding on the car and deciding to wait a few days for the new car to arrive before picking it up and registering the car, the family went back home.
**
Hu Qiang could hide his love affair from others, but he could not hide it from Chen Dafen's husband Hu Yongbing. The reason why he no longer sent money home to support people in his hometown was that he wanted his son to succeed. But the reality was that his son's grades were average, and now he was in love at such a young age. He really couldn't stand it, so he untied the belt and started beating his son. Chen Dafen couldn't stop him.
Zhang Han quickly called Liu Qiao and his wife to help. When they arrived, Hu Qiang was crying and gasping for breath. Hu Yongbing beat him and scolded him: "My money is for you to study, not for you to have a girlfriend. Your mother saved money every day, but you raised an unfilial son."
"Are you good at studying?"
Chen Dafen said angrily, "Hu Yongbing, what are you doing? Why did you hit him? Have you ever cared about him? You have always cared about your sister and your brother. Your brother cheated on your wife, and your sister borrowed money all the time. How come you didn't see that? You lent them money all the time. Now that your son has made a mistake, you should educate him well. Why do you hit him like this? How many sons do you think you have?"
What was originally an attempt to discipline his son turned into a quarrel between the couple. Hu Yongbing had long been resentful of Chen Dafen for blocking him from returning to his hometown. Now that he saw his wife exposing her past in front of everyone, he simply didn't care anymore.
"Chen Dafen, you don't know how you treat my brothers and sisters. You have spoiled your good son. His grades are terrible. He has to take extra classes every day, but it doesn't work. You scold me for wasting money when I smoke one more cigarette. Look at what your son has done with the money we saved. He is still young and has fallen in love with someone. It's all your fault as a mother."
