After returning from Xu Lijie's house, Liu Qiao lamented everything on the table to Feng Yu and others. Chen Yun interjected: "Speaking of which, I still think it's better to have one child at home. Otherwise, if there are too many sisters, they won't be too close."
Feng Yu said: "There are fewer people who are close to each other, and more who are not close to each other. So in our generation, those who had too many brothers and sisters were not close to each other."
Besides, after eating, Chen Yun sat on the sofa and suddenly remembered that she forgot to buy noodles. Because the company cafeteria was under renovation during the past few days, everyone contributed money to buy an electric rice cooker, so everyone could bring noodles or rice for the day, which was both clean and comfortable to eat.
This is what is called an unexpected disaster. Chen Yun was walking on the sidewalk when she was knocked to the ground by a cyclist from behind. Chen Yun struggled to get up and looked back. It was a young girl. She said sorry softly and rode away.
She rubbed her waist and could only blame herself for her bad luck. When she went upstairs, she met Zhong Yang. Zhong Yang saw Chen Yun and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Aunt Yun, what happened to you? Are you okay?"
Chen Yun shook her head: "Nothing, I was just hit by a bicycle, and the little girl ran away. I was angry."
Zhong Yang helped Chen Yun up very obediently. No matter what kind of person Xu Lijie was, her son was indeed a good person. After returning, Liu Qiao saw this and rushed over like an arrow, asking anxiously: "Wife, what's wrong?"
Chen Yun pointed to her waist and said, "I was hit by a bicycle from behind."
Liu Qiao was so angry: "Who is this person?"
"Don't mention it. She rode away on her bike before I even stood up."
Liu Qiao carefully supported Chen Yun, and finally couldn't help but carry her in. Chen Yun asked Liu Qiao to go out and thank Zhong Yang who had just helped her up. Liu Qiao immediately went out to thank him and came back.
He rubbed Chen Yun's waist and asked worriedly, "Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Chen Yun waved her hands: "It's not that serious. I just feel uncomfortable now. I will be fine tomorrow."
Liu Qiao sighed, "I always annoy you like this. When you are not feeling well or encounter something, I always want to be nice to you, but later, I feel that we are husband and wife, so I am still willing to treat you with my true nature. I am indeed lazy when it comes to housework. I look smart, but sometimes I do stupid things. You have never disliked me."
"Why are you saying this out of the blue?" Chen Yunqi asked.
They are husband and wife, not like those on TV. In real life, they tolerate each other. She is boring and doesn't like socializing much, but Liu Qiao is willing to take her wherever he goes and has never said a bad thing about her in front of outsiders, not even to his parents-in-law.
How many people have conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Even Xu Lijie and Chen Dafen, who are as old as them, still don't get along well with their mother-in-law and are full of lawsuits. On the contrary, she lives in harmony at home because her husband often mediates.
As for the husband's laziness, it's not a big deal. If it were just the two of us living together, the husband would be very hardworking. But now the elderly are here. They are retired and their house has electrical appliances. If they are not allowed to do anything, they will realize that they are useless and will not be able to stay here.
Liu Qiao held her in his arms and said, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are actually very difficult to avoid. Although what happened today is a small matter, it reminds me that I must take good care of you."
He is now the head of the group, and his working hours are the same as normal. After the last time he picked up the wrong person, he has been working hard to practice his ability to identify his wife. Now his wife may be in danger even if she is walking on the road. He must protect his wife in the future.
Chen Yun thought he was just saying it, but she didn't expect that from that day on, whenever Liu Qiao had time, he would pick her up from get off work. Chen Yun's colleagues were all jealous of her.
Chen Yun returned to her new unit with a legitimate reason and faced the first team leader election. Chen Yun thought she had worked the hardest, but now the unit mainly uses secret ballot and she was worried that others would not vote for her. Although she had written her campaign article, she did not think it was very good.
So when she came back that night, Chen Yun told him about her worries. She was afraid that Liu Qiao would laugh at her, but Liu Qiao actually tried to put her in a good light and said to her, "Everyone knows how well you do in business. If you have done your best and they don't choose you, it means that the company is full of connections. You should be more cautious in the future."
This made sense. The couple got up in the middle of the night and revised the manuscript under the lamp. Chen Yun took a look and kissed her husband fiercely: "You are still amazing."
Liu Qiao smiled and said, "It's not that great, I just think it's good for Yunyun to rely on me sometimes."
Chen Yun was confused: "Why do you say that?" She is now indeed a woman of the new era, independent in career, finance, and even in spirit.
But it doesn't mean that she doesn't have her husband and son in her heart. After all, her husband is her partner, the one who will accompany her until old age. Why should she worry about him?
"Yunyun, I'm not a fool. Maybe I made you feel that there was something wrong with me before, but now you have to rely on me more, okay?" He said this almost pleadingly.
He said so, Chen Yun bit her lower lip, "Will I be more casual from now on?"
"Of course." Liu Qiao said as a matter of course.
They now live with their parents, but they are not as comfortable as they used to be living on their own. Sometimes they are afraid that their parents will think they are arguing if they say a few more words. When they get home at night, they have to take care of their son's homework. Sometimes they even have less time to talk to each other.
The next day, even Feng Yu felt that Chen Yun was much more unrestrained towards Liu Qiao. She used to be very considerate of Liu Qiao. Every time she wanted to do something, she would think about whether Liu Qiao had time and not waste her time. But now, she just tells Liu Qiao directly what she wants to eat or do.
For example, today, Chen Yun wanted to sew a quilt. In the past, she would ask Feng Yu to sew with her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would chat with each other at the same time. But today, she specifically called Liu Qiao to come in.
"Honey, please make the quilt first, then put the cotton wool on it, and I'll thread the needle," she ordered.
Liu Qiao was clumsy and it was obvious that he had never sewn a quilt before. Chen Yun would often say to him, "The satin on top is a little narrow and can't cover the cotton wool. But you have to pile the cotton wool a little more inside to make more room for me so that I can turn the quilt over..."
"Yeah, okay." Liu Qiao worked hard because he knew Chen Yun had really let go of her feelings now.
When Chen Yun was sewing the quilt, he was watching from the side. The sunlight shining on her hair seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.
