But Liu Qiao and Chen Yun felt that it was not right. Chen Dafen was half asleep and half awake at the moment, and she had no clear consciousness. She didn't know if she could make it. If Hu Qiang didn't come, he wouldn't even be able to see her for the last time.

Chen Yun changed the subject and asked Hu Yongbing: "How is Sister Dafen doing now?"

Hu Yongbing sighed: "That's it, just get by. I can only try my best to satisfy her whatever she wants to eat or do."

It looked like he wouldn't live long, so Chen Yun and the others said some words of comfort and went back. By the time they returned, they hadn't even seen Hu Qiang once.

She thought that maybe in a few days, Chen Dafen would come back, dragging her frail body to visit people, and laughing loudly when she heard something funny. But they didn't expect that not long after they returned, they received a letter saying that Chen Dafen had passed away at night.

When they woke up the next day, they could already hear crying in the stairwell. Chen Yun and his wife did not sleep well the whole night.

Hu Qiang's eyes were red. Only then did he realize that he really had no mother. The best person to him in the world was Chen Dafen, who was unconditionally good to him. He knew that and he also wanted to give something back to his mother. It was just that he had become lazy after being raised for so many years. He really wanted to do something, but he was too lazy to do it.

Now that his mother is gone, he really feels a little helpless.

Chen Dafen's body was cremated the next day. Hu Yongbing was responsible for filling the bones. Hu Qiang was supposed to do it, but he was afraid. The funeral was not a big one, and Hu Yongbing was not able to do it, so he invited his brothers, sisters, and two sisters-in-law from his hometown to come. Chen Yun knew his eldest sister Yong'e, but it was the first time he met his youngest sister Yongxian.

She had curly hair and fair, delicate skin, dressed like a city girl, carrying a purse and collecting money in front.

Chen Yun handed her the gift money. She asked for her name, and Chen Yun said, "Just write Liu Qiao, Wen Dao Liu, the Qiao in Lu Qiao."

She took it calmly, and Chen Yun and Cai Qijun sat at the table and talked. Cai Qijun also sighed: "Sister Dafen is so young, and her child is about to take the college entrance examination. Why did she go at this time..."

"Let's not talk about that. Maybe she wants to live longer. Death is like a light going out. There's nothing she can do about it." Chen Yun felt a little sad. After all, she and Chen Dafen had been military families for many years. Although sometimes she didn't like Chen Dafen very much, she still hoped that she could live a long life.

When everyone met, they just expressed their gratitude. The military leader spoke and Liu Qiao also spoke as a spokesperson.

Hu Qiang couldn't stop crying. His girlfriend also came. Zhang Han pulled Chen Yun and whispered, "It looks like Qiangqiang is serious about this?"

"Well, we've been talking about it for several years, so it should work out." After all, Hu Qiang's father is the section chief, so he and the girl are a good match.

At this time, Hu Qiang's aunt Hu Yongxian came over to talk to Chen Yun and others. Zhang Han and Chen Yun looked at each other and responded to her indifferently.

The woman was observing them secretly when she didn't know them at first. When she saw that they were all wives of leaders, she came over in a panic. No wonder Chen Dafen had a bad relationship with her in-laws.

"I used to think Dafen was exaggerating, but now it seems that relatives are really like money wolves."

Other people would cry and complain at a funeral even if they were not on good terms with each other. However, her sister-in-law had been supported by Chen Dafen and her husband for many years, but at her sister-in-law's funeral, she did not comfort her bereaved nephew or help arrange the entire venue. Instead, she wanted to use this opportunity as a stepping stone to expand her own network.

Watching her eloquently promoting her products, Chen Yun spoke sternly for the first time: "Qiangqiang's aunt, this is a funeral gift, you should take it easy."

Hu Yongxian walked away with a pale face.

A dish called "Family Meal" was served on the table. Chen Yun looked at Liu Qiao who was speaking and felt relieved.

She didn't know what Hu Qiang was thinking, but she knew that Hu Yongbing remarried soon. At first he refused, saying he wanted to raise the child himself, but later he relented and his family introduced him to a single girl.

That’s all a story for later. Chen Yun took the medicine from her bedside table and took a pill. After blowing her nose, she felt much better.

Liu Qiao was extremely worried, "Is your nose still blocked?"

"Still stuffing it, husband." Chen Yun acted coquettishly to him.

Liu Qiao put the hot water under her nose and said affectionately, "Just fumigate it a little and it will be fine."

The passing of Chen Dafen has made Liu Qiao feel the impermanence of life recently, and he has also been doubly concerned about Chen Yun.

After Chen Yun got up, she saw Zi Rui doing his homework and couldn't help but touch his head. Although Zi Rui usually likes to play, he also knows the importance of things. He didn't expect Xiao Lan to bring fruit over.

She was wearing a light blue tight silk dress today, with a smile on her face. As she approached from afar, even Chen Yun couldn't help but compliment her: "Lanlan looks really beautiful today."

Xiao Lan blushed slightly, "Aunt Yun, please stop talking like that."

The sixteen-year-old girl had skin that was as smooth as a baby's and a face as white as powder. She had a very good temper and after giving her the fruits, she also chatted with Chen Yun.

"Our relatives from our hometown sent us a basket of peaches. They are big and juicy. You can taste them with Uncle Liu." She smiled at Zi Rui after she said this.

Chen Yun took the peach in her hand and looked at it. The flat and thick peach looked delicious. She smiled and said, "Then thank your mother for me. How are you doing with your studies recently?"

"It's okay. My grades are just like that. I have to go to cram school on Saturdays and Sundays anyway. She also said that I'm really bad at math and I just can't learn it no matter how the teacher teaches. I don't even want to ask anymore." She sounded a little self-destructive as she spoke.

Of course Chen Yun understood her feeling. It would be fine to ask a few times. After a long time, people would get annoyed. If she got annoyed just by seeing people, she would not want to ask anymore.

"What should I do? Won't your mother scold you if you don't do well in the exam?" Chen Yun said angrily.

Originally, Xiao Lan was planning to take the art exam and then go abroad, but she herself requested to stay in the country and attend a normal university, so the difficulty increased too much. Although she had a positive attitude towards learning, she still found it difficult to study.

Xiao Lan said with a bitter face: "Why didn't you tell me? You blame me. You said that if I studied art, I could definitely go to a key university, but if I went to a normal high school, it would be great if I could get into a second-tier university."

"That's not possible. The main reason is that you haven't found the right method." Chen Yun also knew Xiao Lan. Although she was experienced in socializing, she was not as simple as her sister Xiao Zhen in studying.

Xiao Lan and Chen Yun have a very good relationship, because in her opinion, Chen Yun is a very good manager. Even the people in Uncle Liu's place are so devoted to Aunt Chen, which is enough to prove that she has extraordinary qualities.

At this time, Chen Feng came back. When Zi Rui saw his uncle, he rushed over to call him. Chen Feng had a good temper and would not look down on children. He was also a comrade-in-arms who slept in the same room with Zi Rui. The uncle and nephew had a very good relationship.

"Brother Xiaofeng." Xiao Lan shouted.

Originally, according to Chen Yun's generational structure, she should have called Chen Feng "uncle", but Chen Feng was only six years older than her and looked very young, so it was not appropriate to call him uncle.

Chen Feng responded gently and asked what they were talking about.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "We are talking about Lanlan's math. She is too embarrassed to ask the teacher now. Why don't you teach her here?" She knew that although Chen Feng's grades were not top-notch, she graduated from a key university and was very good at math. High school math was not very difficult.

Xiao Lan asked cautiously: "Brother Chen Feng, is it okay?"

Chen Feng was not an unkind person, so he naturally agreed: "Okay, take your homework to the desk over here."

Only then did Xiao Lan breathe a sigh of relief.

She brought the homework over, and Chen Feng looked at it for her very carefully. He then realized that Xiao Lan's math was really hard to describe. However, he had a very good temper. He used his own method to explain a problem to her and then used it as an example to draw inferences about other problems. Chen Yun saw that Xiao Lan kept nodding and didn't know whether she understood it or not.

**

Summer passed, and Zi Rui was successfully admitted to Jiangning High School. Her family prepared to go out and play with Zhang Han and the others. Of course, Liu Qiao didn't have time to go, and Xiao Shunping didn't have time either. Feng Yu had a headache these days and couldn't go either. Liu Zhiguo had to stay to take care of his wife, so Chen Feng went with her sister and nephew.

It is easy to take leave in his company, and he is young, so Chen Yun also wants to take him out to play.

Xiao Zhen is now also a student at Jiangning High School. She is only one year older than Zi Rui. She has her hair in double ponytails and is still as thin as before.

She speaks Mandarin very well. Zhang Han's company is shooting an advertisement and she was the model. I heard that the response was quite good.

The two of them seemed to have lost each other. In the past, everyone thought Xiao Lan was good-looking, as if someone like her should enter the entertainment or dance circles, but Xiao Zhen, who was slightly less beautiful than Xiao Lan, wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

Zhang Han hasn't agreed yet, but Chen Yun feels it's too late.

"Brother Zirui, which class do you want to be assigned to?" Xiao Zhen asked Liu Zirui.

Zi Rui said indifferently: "It doesn't matter which class you are assigned to."

Liu Zirui is now 1.6 meters tall, as tall as his mother. He was wearing a sports shirt and had just gotten into the car after running. He still smelled of sweat, but despite his young age, he looked quite manly.

When Xiao Zhen heard this, her eyes darkened. She knew that Brother Zirui didn't like that Zhao Shiyu. But she still proudly said that Liu Zirui was her boyfriend. She was really shameless.

Zhang Han not only needs to care about her elder daughter, but also her younger daughter. "Don't focus on dubbing anymore. You should still focus on your studies. Your grades were very good before, but now they are not as good as before."

In front of Chen Yun and the others, Zhang Han didn't have to hide anything.

Xiao Zhen nodded helplessly: "I understand, Mom."

Xiao Lan also advised earnestly: "Don't just say you know it. Your academic performance is so good, but you have to keep it up."
