A thin mist enveloped Jiangning City. Junior high school and high school students had to go out for morning self-study. Almost everyone in Liu Qiao's family had also gotten up. Chen Yun helped Chen Feng carry the luggage and ran into Xiao Lan who was going to school. They greeted each other.
When they were about to go downstairs, Liu Qiao naturally took over Chen Yun's luggage. Jiang Jing's performance during her last visit to the house satisfied everyone, so Chen Feng's wedding date had been set. Now he was going home to hold his own wedding and then continue to take over Chen Sipeng's company.
Liu Qiao smiled and congratulated Chen Feng: "Your sister and I are waiting to go back and attend your wedding banquet that day."
After he finished speaking, he patted Chen Feng on the shoulder. Chen Feng was much more generous this time. He turned around and said to Chen Yun, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law should come."
After Chen Yun sent my husband and brother to the car, she went upstairs, but she didn't see Xiao Lan, whose face was covered with tears.
The earth will not stop rotating because of one person. The Liu family's life is still so plain and warm. Cai Qijun brought a plate of melon seeds over and chatted with Chen Yun.
She curled her lips in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Sister-in-law Dafen has been dead for only a few days, and she has been brought back, but Qiangqiang, that brat, dares not say a word."
Chen Yun understood: "People often say that it is better to live with a beggar mother than a government official father. This is true. Besides, he still has to repeat his studies and get money from his father. How dare he say anything about this matter?"
Yes, Hu Qiang failed the exam, his results were not very ideal. His girlfriend did very well and passed away smoothly, but she would not wait for him any longer, so he was desperate for a while and had to consider retaking the exam.
However, his road to repeating his senior year was not so smooth. His aunt Yongxian made trouble several times, just wanting her brother to take the money back to sponsor her son to go to an aristocratic school. It is not known how much slander she made in front of Hu Yongbing. Fortunately, Hu Qiang found Liu Qiao and Xiao Shunping, who were old comrades-in-arms and now his father's superiors, so he was able to repeat his senior year smoothly.
What else could Cai Qijun say? She could only curl her lips in disdain: "If he had been so obedient earlier, his mother wouldn't have died."
Why did Chen Dafen, the wife of a section chief, live such a hard life? It was all for her son. She worked so hard to make money for her son's love affair, which led to this disease. She died within a few years. Those who knew the inside story said that Hu Qiang killed his mother.
"Who says it's not true? I still remember that the first thing his mother did when she made money was to buy him a TV. I hope he can get better, so that his mother can feel relieved."
After they finished talking about Hu Qiang, Cai Qijun felt unsatisfied and asked Chen Yun, "Do you still remember that Xiao Lei?"
Chen Yun thought about it. She certainly remembered that Xiao Lei's sister had come to her house, so she asked, "I remember. What happened to him?"
Cai Qijun smiled and said, "Didn't he change his job and go home? Our Lao Ruan saw him at the Binkelai Hotel a few days ago. Guess what, he became the lobby manager. His sister hooked up with a good family and married the young master of Binkelai."
This guest is a local hotel. Chen Yun said happily, "I am really happy for her."
Cai Qijun said, "Why should she be happy? She is marrying the third son, and I don't know if she can get a share of the money. I heard that the third son is an illegitimate child from outside, and he was once a street bully. No one dared to mess with him in Jiangning."
Thinking of Lei Qian, the diligent and simple girl, Chen Yun felt a little disappointed, "Isn't this forced?"
Cai Qijun thought to herself, Chen Yun is indeed a simple person. Why would anyone want her, just because she is a waitress from the countryside? Everything in this world is a trade-off. Chen Yun grew up in a honeypot. Liu Qiao never let her get in touch with some private matters, so she didn't understand why some people would do many unsatisfactory things for money and power.
After Cai Qijun left, Chen Yun and Liu Qiao talked about this incident. Liu Qiao was still a little embarrassed when he mentioned Lei Qian. Since then, Liu Qiao learned how to identify his wife among thousands of people and vowed not to make such a mistake again.
As the deputy division commander, although Xiao Lei was good at that time, he treated this soldier with extra courtesy because he had to stabilize his position as the regiment commander and show that he was a courteous corporal. Now he has forgotten this soldier. After all, he has too many things to do every day.
"After all, this is someone else's private matter, so let's not comment on it," said Liu Qiao.
Chen Yun also nodded. This was her own choice. She could choose whatever she wanted and no one else could interfere.
Because Zirui is in junior high school and has grown a lot taller, his piano lessons have been stopped. He now loves sports, especially football and basketball. He can't stay at home all day.
Chen Yun can no longer take care of a child of his age like she did when he was younger. Anyway, exercise promotes physical and mental health, so she doesn't care too much about it.
She learned how to use the computer by herself, and the family was planning to install a computer. Chen Yun also wanted to install one for herself to play with, as all the new things were popular now. Liu Qiao didn't care much about the family affairs. The higher his position was, the more things he had to do. He took time out of his busy schedule to listen to his wife's talk, which was considered to be a great care for the family.
Chen Yun applied for an account and changed her nickname to "Yun Duo". Her first best friend was of course her husband, followed by Zhang Han and Cai Qijun, and some colleagues.
Cai Qijun is more addicted to the Internet than Chen Yun. After sending her son to kindergarten, she chats with people all day long. She also told Chen Yun that if she wanted to add netizens from a certain place, she should search for the person's hometown or keywords, and then she buried her head in typing again.
Chen Yun was very conservative: "I only add people I know. I won't just add people I don't know."
"I really don't know how you found your husband. You are too conservative." She found that Chen Yun basically never went out at night unless accompanied by her husband. She only went shopping with her once or twice. Although she loved their husband Ruan very much, it did not hinder her socializing. Chen Yun was very dutiful and honest, like a woman in the old society.
Chen Yun knew she was joking, but that was just the kind of person she was. She had a strong ability to defend herself and would not take the initiative to socialize with men. She didn't like to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, she was married.
Fortunately, Cai Qijun said so. She still admired Chen Yun very much for being able to manage Liu Qiao well.
**
With only a few days left before Chen Feng's wedding, Chen Yun asked for leave from school for Zi Rui. However, Liu Qiao was unable to leave due to work, and he even called Chen Feng and his parents-in-law to explain the situation.
Chen Yun felt sorry while folding clothes. Liu Qiao also felt uneasy about his wife going back alone. "Call me when you get home. You and Zi Rui should go home and give some money to your parents. After all, they haven't been around for so many years."
"Okay, I get it. You have to take care of yourself. Your parents are at home, so you should smoke less." Chen Yun said to him coquettishly.
Only after seeing Liu Qiao's promise did she feel at ease to bring her son back to her parents' home to attend her brother's wedding.
Zi Rui was already a teenager, wearing a set of sportswear, and he felt full of youthful energy. A few hours later, they arrived in Jiangcheng. There were already people holding signs at the airport to pick up people. The one who picked them up was a very handsome young man in a suit, who looked very energetic.
"You are Sister Chen Yun, right? I am the general manager's assistant, my name is Xu Mu." The young man said politely.
To be able to become a special assistant at such a young age, she must have some extraordinary qualities. Chen Yun smiled and thanked him before getting into his car. Xu Mu knew this young lady, but she was the wife of the deputy division commander of the Jiangning Military Region. He thought she was a middle-aged woman, but he found out that she was a very young woman after meeting her.
She wore a military green fitted dress, a white bag on her shoulder, her hair was tied up with a white rhinestone clip, and she wore a jade bracelet on her hand. She walked gracefully. Xu Mu did not dare to look at them any more. After asking them to get in the car, he drove all the way to Chen Sipeng's new home.
In recent years, Chen Sipeng has already moved into a bigger house and bought a duplex unit in the newly developed area of Jiangcheng. If it weren't for Xu Mu, she wouldn't know how to get there.
She was about to get off the car when she received a call from Liu Qiao, "Honey, yeah, we're here."
Liu Qiao was in the office at this time. He had a lot of difficult things to deal with today, but when he heard Chen Yun's voice, his mood immediately improved.
He flicked the ash from his cigarette and said to her with a smile, "It's good that we're here. Just enjoy the wedding and we'll talk when you get back."
Chen Yun nodded heavily.
Although Liu Qiao has been busy these years, no matter how busy he is, he will always talk to her from the bottom of his heart and help her relieve her worries. She is not like Cai Qijun who goes around promoting her husband's good points. She keeps them in her heart because her husband is her own.
Xu Mu saw the happy smile on the woman's face, and knew in his heart that she must be living a very happy life. But Xu Mu was also used to seeing ugly things in the business world. She knew that some men seemed to be particularly gentle and considerate to their wives, but they still looked for many women outside, and there were many such men. She hoped that the husband of this young lady really loved her.
It had been a long time since I last saw my parents. Chen Yun's eyes were red when she saw them. Chen Sipeng's face hadn't changed much, but his figure was obviously thinner. Zhang Meixiang's face had lost a lot of flesh, and her hair in the front had turned a lot whiter. Chen Yun held her parents' arms.
After a while, Zi Rui was allowed to call them grandpa and grandma, and the two elders were even happier. Chen Sipeng took out some potato chips and handed them to him: "I heard that children nowadays love to eat these potato chips. Let you try them."
Zi Rui thanked her politely. Zhang Meixiang saw that her daughter had a rosy complexion without even a wrinkle on her face, and said with relief, "It seems like you are indeed living a good life."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm old enough to take care of myself. You just need to take care of your father."
