The gurgling hot water created a thin mist. Chen Yun put the noodles into the pot, added salinated pork and thin red pepper shreds to the plain noodles, and added some garlic sprouts when serving. The red and green piled together were fragrant and very appetizing.

After a while, the sound of a key being inserted into the door was heard again, and Chen Yun saw her brother. She hadn't seen him for several years. Only then did she understand why girls were so desperate for him. He looked very noble.

He and Liu Qiao give people a different impression. Liu Qiao himself is a smooth person. Although he was handsome when he was young, he was as strong as a leopard. When he was young, Liu Qiao loved to play, like a playboy. His handsome appearance attracted women. After he joined the army, he became much more gentle, but sometimes you can tell that he is not easy to mess with just by looking at others.

Let's talk about Chen Feng. He is about 1.78 meters tall. He smiled as soon as he entered the door. He has a very gentle temperament. The light gray suit fits him well, which makes his temperament more outstanding and can easily arouse people's maternal instinct.

"sister."

Seeing her brother like this, Chen Yun hadn't seen him for a long time, and her eyes suddenly became red. "Xiao Feng is here, I made noodles for you, come and try them."

Liu Qiao held Chen Yun's shoulders and said, "I'll go get it out. You two can have a good chat."

Chen Yun pulled her brother to sit down and asked hurriedly, "Are you okay? Don't take that matter to heart. This is a military area, no one dares to break in."

After all, Chen Feng had just graduated from college, had little social experience, and was an honest child. When he saw his sister asking, he quickly said, "Sister, my brother-in-law just told me to stay here for a while. He has a friend who opened a company in Jiangning, and he's hiring people there. I can go out to work then."

Unexpectedly, Liu Qiao was so thoughtful. Chen Yun smiled and said, "In that case, you should have a good sleep and rest. I'll let you and Ruirui stay in the same room. If he acts naughty, tell me."

Chen Feng, however, was a very gentle person. He smiled and shook his head: "I heard that Ruirui's grades are very good, but I don't know if he still recognizes me as his uncle."

"How can you not know me? Hey, you eat first, and I'll talk to you while you eat." Seeing Liu Qiao bringing out the noodles, Chen Yun hurriedly urged her brother to eat the noodles.

Chen Feng ate noodles while listening to his sister's chatter. After his stomach was full, his heart settled down.

Early in the morning, Chen Yun was about to get up, but Liu Qiao stopped her and said, "Why are you getting up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'm going to go out and buy some breakfast for Xiao Feng. He was exhausted from the long journey here yesterday and he was worried. He might not have slept well last night."

Although her younger brother Chen Feng has grown up, in Chen Yun's eyes he is still the little boy whose eyes turned red with tears when she was going to join the army. She is not very reassured.

Hearing her say this, Liu Qiao pressed her down and said, "I'll go buy it."

Chen Yun thought about it and understood what Liu Qiao meant. The most frightening thing about living in her sister's house is not that her sister doesn't welcome her, but that her brother-in-law doesn't welcome her. Although Liu Qiao went to pick him up yesterday, he wanted him to feel at ease living here. Only if his brother-in-law welcomes him can he feel at ease.

Perhaps it was because Liu Qiao, as a brother-in-law, understood all this very well. She thought that if Liu Qiao encountered such a thing, he would probably remain calm and not be afraid at all.

After Liu Qiao left, Chen Yun still got up. She tidied herself up first, and when she came out, she saw Chen Feng sitting on the sofa.

His hair was still a little curled up, and he looked very relaxed. Chen Yun touched his hair, and Chen Feng felt a little embarrassed.

"Your brother-in-law went with you to buy breakfast. Originally, I was going to go, but he insisted on going." Chen Yun said with a smile.

Chen Feng admired his brother-in-law very much. He often heard his mother talk about how great his brother-in-law was and how many achievements he had made. He was already a division-level cadre at a young age. Most importantly, a man with such great power did not have any unfaithful thoughts and was very loyal to his sister.

Seeing that his brother-in-law welcomed him so much, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That really troubles my brother-in-law."

The two siblings were talking in the living room. Liu Zhiguo had already gotten up to call Ruirui to get up. His baby grandson liked to stay in bed just like his father, but Liu Zhiguo was very patient with his grandson and even scolded Liu Qiao when Liu Qiao wanted to hit the child.

Feng Yu, on the other hand, was more considerate. As soon as he came out, he pulled Chen Feng aside to talk. Chen Feng's family was also in contact with Liu Qiao's sister Liu Lu because of Chen Yun, so Feng Yu asked about the situation in their hometown.

Chen Feng said patiently, "Sister Liu Lu is doing well there. I heard last time that An An also did well in her monthly exam."

Feng Yu likes his daughter-in-law very much, so naturally he has to look at her brother differently. Besides, Chen Feng is indeed a very likable person. Although his family runs a company, he doesn't look like a playboy at all, and he doesn't look very slick. He has a temperament that is very pleasing to middle-aged and elderly people.

Besides, when Zirui's grandfather sent him to school, he was still confused, but he still remembered to call him uncle.

Feng Yu was surprised and said, "This uncle is right. Ruirui hasn't seen his uncle for several years, but he recognized him at the first sight."

When Chen Feng went to bed yesterday, Zi Rui was already asleep. When he woke up in the morning, Chen Feng was already in the living room. But he recognized his uncle at first sight and called him in a very casual way, as if he was someone he saw every day. Everyone felt that this child was really smart and very friendly.

Liu Qiao spent a long time shopping, and both his hands were full. The breakfast in Jiangning and Jiangcheng could not be compared, but it had a different flavor. The entire tea table was full, and Feng Yu and Chen Yun, the two women, looked very satisfied just watching him eat.

Liu Qiao, the brother-in-law, also made proper arrangements for Chen Feng: "You should get familiar with Jiang Ning in the next few days. Let your aunt take you out for a walk. Then go back to work in a few days."

"Go to work?" Feng Yu was puzzled.

Liu Qiao explained, "You forgot that last time someone invited me out for a drink, it was a friend I met when I came to Jiangning. Later I found out that he was from a well-known domestic electrical appliance store. A few days ago, I learned that Xiao Feng was coming, and I called him to ask if he had any vacancies. It just so happened that they were recruiting accountants. Xiao Feng studied finance, so this is a perfect match."

"Okay, okay." Feng Yu said with a smile.

They obviously all knew that Chen Feng would not be staying here for a short time, at least half a year, and it was not right for someone so young to stay in the house all day.

**

Chen Feng's arrival made Zhang Meixiang and her husband feel relieved. No matter how the girl made trouble, they always said that Chen Feng had gone abroad and was not in the country.

The girl just waited there, while Zhang Meixiang went to her sister-in-law Zhong Juxiang to make trouble, asking her to find someone to marry the girl off quickly. Zhong Juxiang originally wanted to match them up, but her sister-in-law made trouble and even her grandson couldn't live in peace. Now she had to arrange a marriage for the girl. It was really a headache for her.

But as long as the girl was not married, Chen Feng did not want to go back home, and there was also Chen Sipeng's little thought. Originally, Chen Yun and Chen Feng were very different in age, and their relationship was not very deep. Since he had a gallstone surgery, he felt uncomfortable if he was not careful. He was not young anymore, and it was obviously difficult for his son to support the entire company alone. He hoped that his son could build a good relationship with his brother-in-law, so that even if something happened, there would be someone to help him.

As for his brother's family, it would be worse if they didn't exist. Although the two of them seemed to be friendly on the surface, he knew that no one was willing to give in to the other.

No matter what Chen Sipeng thought, Chen Feng stayed here.

**

When Chen Feng arrived, it was Labor Day, May Day. Not long after Chen Feng joined the company, he was given a holiday.

The same is true for Zi Rui, but he will be entering junior high school in a month, so it is time for him to work hard. Even during holidays, he has to study at home.

Other than that, everyone else was celebrating the May Day holiday happily. Zhang Han, for example, brought Xiao Lan and Xiao Zhen to visit and excitedly told Chen Yun about their plans: "We will go to Hangzhou for a trip first. It's close and we can get there quickly by plane. I have a branch office there. The two sisters finally have some time to rest, so it's good for them to go out and relax."

Chen Yun said enviously, "I wanted to go too, but Ruirui is at a critical juncture this time, so I can't do anything."

Zhang Han glanced at Chen Yun's brother Chen Feng again and greeted him, "Why didn't you introduce your brother to us?"

Many people have come to the family compound over the years, and naturally many have left, but the ones who get along well are still these few families. Zhang Han's younger brother always invites everyone to dinner when he comes, and everyone's relatives know each other almost.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "He just came here to work. He's not a well-known figure like Zhang Zhenzhang. Is there any need to introduce him?" Then she introduced Zhang Han to Chen Feng, "This is the president of Zhang Enterprises and the wife of our team leader Xiao. We are as close as family."

Chen Feng immediately greeted her politely. Zhang Han was a very tactful person and did not ask any embarrassing questions. Instead, she praised Chen Feng in a subtle way, which made people feel warm and comfortable.

She said to Chen Feng, "When you come to Jiangning, you must let your sister take you to have fun. Your brother-in-law has taken your sister to play around the entire Jiangning city thoroughly." This was a subtle way of saying that Liu Qiao was very good to Chen Yun.

Chen Feng could tell that although he had just graduated from college, he had been taken out by Chen Sipeng to socialize with many people. Although he was not as experienced as Liu Qiao, he was not a fool.

He looks so handsome and energetic when he smiles, and even makes people want to talk to him more.

Zhang Han, who is her age, likes young people the most. She smiled and said, "Coming to your sister's place is just like being at home. Your sister is the best at taking care of household chores. Aunt Feng is the same. She cooks delicious meals."

…

After a few pleasantries, Chen Yun also introduced Chen Feng to Zhang Han. Zhang Han's business is getting bigger and bigger. Although she is often at home, she has a very good vision, just like the professional managers hired from abroad. They are all in the business world. Although the Chen family guards a small piece of land in Jiangcheng, it is not very related to Zhang Han's company business.

But people in the business world can recognize that it is a business opportunity.

After Zhang Han left, Xiao Lan said to her mother, "Mom, Aunt Yun's brother is really handsome."

She is a mature girl. Other girls of her age would be awkward or petty, but Xiao Lan is so popular that girls like her very much. She even decided to get into a high school in the city. She wants to go to high school and then go to college, and then get into a real university.

Although dancing is good, accidents happen to people all the time, such as breaking a leg, and then you can't dance anymore. So she asked her mother to give up letting her enter the Beijing Dance School as a special student. The most important thing is that she is Zhang Han's eldest daughter and will take over the Zhang family in the future. If her sister Xiao Zhen is more capable, it would be fine, but she is a bit of a nerd. She can't keep calm over a small matter, let alone a big one. She can't watch the Zhang family business stop in her mother's generation.

Seeing that her mother talked so much to Aunt Yun’s brother, I was a little curious about Chen Feng’s identity.

Zhang Han understood: "Your Aunt Yun is not from an ordinary family, otherwise your Uncle Liu Qiao, who has such high standards, would not be interested in her."

She had known Liu Qiao and his wife for many years. Liu Qiao was able to stand out, and he was not an ordinary person. It was said that Qin Guizhi, the wife of the former head of the group, had introduced many people to him, but he just didn't like any of them. Instead, he chose a little girl from his hometown, who was much younger than many other girls.

Zhang Han had never told her about this before. Xiao Lan was filled with excitement, as if she had entered the adult world. "Mom, what does Aunt Yun do at home?"

"Although your aunt Yun's family cannot compare to ours, they have been doing business in Jiangcheng for decades. Almost all the clothes in Jiangcheng are made by them." Zhang Han said.

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Aunt Yun is quite simple."

"It's better to be a simple person. Look, your Aunt Yun and your Aunt Lijie are different. Even you kids must like someone like your Aunt Yun." Although Xu Lijie's cooking skills are good and she is a silver-tongued person, everyone still likes Chen Yun more.

Xiao Lan nodded: "That's definitely the case. Aunt Lijie is not bad, but she eats in a rather ugly way." She wanted Zhong Yang to show off his presence in front of her two sisters. She might not have understood this when she was young, but if she still doesn't understand it now, she would be really stupid. Moreover, Xu Lijie thinks highly of her, and her intention is the same as those classmates who try to get close to her in school.

Of course, Brother Yangyang is a nice person, but unfortunately, he is not the kind of person she wants. The key is that at her age, study is still the priority, or in other words, the person she wants to find must be someone she thinks is strong, and Zhong Yang is obviously not that.

Zhang Han was very pleased to hear Xiao Lan say this: "So this is why I have a good relationship with your Aunt Yun. It's just superficial with your Aunt Li Jie. Her brother must have come to her because he was in trouble. I treated him with courtesy to give face to your Uncle Liu Qiao. It's hard to say that we won't have to ask for help in the future. And your Aunt Yun's brother doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. It's easy to win people's favor."

If you help others when they are in trouble, they will remember you for the rest of their lives.

Xiao Lan understood her mother's explanation. She looked at her innocent sister chewing on a lollipop and sighed.

If both of them sisters were more capable, Zhang's business would not have to worry about the future. Her mother gave birth to her and her sister at an old age, and in another ten years, she might officially take over Zhang's business. It would not do for her sister to remain like this.

**

On May 1st Labor Day, when everyone was having the most fun, Chen Dafen was hospitalized again, and Chen Yun and Liu Qiao went to visit her again.

The atmosphere was heavy along the way. Liu Qiao leaned over to help Chen Yun fasten her seat belt. They were all used to Chen Dafen's illness and even thought that if she took medicine well, she could live for at least many more years. After all, she was still so young.

She had a loud voice and liked to visit people even when she went back home to recuperate, as if she was consciously weakening her condition.

"I'm afraid this time..." Liu Qiao frowned.

Hu Yongbing had been his leader, and they had even been close comrades-in-arms for a long time. Although he was promoted smoothly later, and even had a higher rank than Hu Yongbing, he was not a person who forgot his roots.

A family cannot live without a woman. Although Chen Dafen is a big mouth, loves to gossip, and even dotes on her son unconditionally, it cannot be said that she is not a good wife. She is efficient in doing things, and takes good care of her children and husband. Even though Hu Yongbing has been in a cold war with her for the past few years, he still comes home every day to serve her hot meals.

Chen Yun sighed: "I'm not cold-hearted, in fact, I think her life is very tiring."

Chen Yun's family conditions were good, and there were people to arrange for her to open a store or work. But Chen Dafen did not have enough education, did not have much capital to do business, and always had to drag a lot of relatives over. Her husband's heart was not on her side, and he even had to work several jobs for the sake of his son's vanity. People's energy would always be exhausted one day.

Even after she got sick, she was still worried that her son would be bullied, so she tried to make connections everywhere. She put all her efforts into her precious son.

Liu Qiao sneered: "Life is tiring, and the love of parents is far-sighted. We love Zirui as much as she does. When did we relax our education of him? Tolerating him is not loving him. The ancients also said that to indulging a child is like killing him."

When the car arrived at the military hospital, Liu Qiao helped Chen Yun unbuckle her seat belt. After asking the front desk, the two of them went smoothly to the ward where Chen Dafen was.

Chen Dafen's father was here. He was not young anymore and was sitting here crying. Hu Yongbing was comforting him with kind words, but no one saw Hu Qiang.

Liu Qiao frowned and asked Hu Qiang: "Isn't Qiang Qiang here?"

He had no intention of meddling in other people's affairs, but as a parent, he would surely be heartbroken if he were lying in a hospital bed without his son by his side.

Hu Yongbing said indifferently: "He has to go to school and take tutoring classes at night. What is he doing here?"

Unconsciously, Hu Yongbing became the same as Chen Dafen. Not only did he acquiesce in Hu Qiang's relationship, but he also thought that Hu Qiang's studies were more important than Chen Dafen's illness.

When a person is seriously ill, the family members will be sad at first, and even pray for a miracle, but when they know that they can't save the patient, they will give up silently in their hearts. Compared with his wife who might die, his son is naturally more important. Besides, this is also Chen Dafen's own request. Hu Yongbing no longer cares about these things. If he disciplines Hu Qiang, Chen Dafen may blame him.
