When a businessman holds a wedding, he must pay attention to the pomp and face, so that it will be lively and let everyone see the wealth of the family. The Jiang family's publishing house was a state-owned enterprise that was converted into a private business. Jiang Jing's father is also very rich and very polite to others, and her mother is even more of a good wife and a good mother.
When Chen Yun's family discussed the betrothal gifts and dowry with their family, they were very reasonable and everything was fine. Zhang Meixiang even said: "Jiang Jing is really good to the two of us. I used to say that you were good to Liu Qiao's parents, but now I find that there are others who are just as good as you."
"Of course you are. You are very hardworking. The dishes you cook at our house are delicious." Chen Yun also praised.
Zhang Meixiang asked about Chen Yun's compound. When Chen Yun mentioned Chen Dafen, she sighed a few times, "This girl named Dafen is also unlucky. Now her husband has married someone new, so how can she still remember the old one?"
Chen Yun sneered: "This time he married a virgin girl, only in her twenties, 10 to 20 years younger than him."
Zhang Meixiang has seen this happen many times. She mentioned Chen Yun's ex-boyfriend Zhao Mingzhang, "Zhao Mingzhang is the same. He married the woman from the tax bureau, but later he thought she was ugly. Now he has found an 18-year-old female college student, but she doesn't disgust me to death."
Perhaps Chen Yun hadn't thought about this person for a long time, so she had no impression of him. But seeing Zhang Meixiang's indignation, she also echoed a few words.
After she came back, Liu Lu took her and Zi Rui to play again. Seeing this sister-in-law again, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel that she was getting more and more elegant. Her hair had grown longer and was casually draped behind her head, which had a different style. Her back was still straight, showing her character.
Seeing Zi Rui whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she was very happy. She raised her head and pulled Chen Yun into the house: "This child looks exactly like his father. When I see him, I think of Liu Qiao when he was a child."
"Yeah, a lot of people say that. He looks like his father in every way. It's like I gave birth to him in vain," Chen Yun joked.
Liao Ping is now the second in command of Jiangcheng. A person in a high position and with great power should be very busy, but now he is accompanying Liu Lu to entertain relatives, which is enough to show how much Liao Ping cares about Liu Lu.
When Liao Ping asked about Liu Qiao's work, Chen Yun said, "He is now the deputy division commander and is very busy, even busier than when he was the regiment commander. He says that he is destined to work hard and he would feel uncomfortable if he stopped."
"That's as he should be. He holds a high position and has great power. Zirui has taken leave and is back. How are his grades now?" Liao Ping's son was admitted to Renmin University. He is a typical top student.
Chen Yun said modestly: "His grades in the class are OK, but he can't compare with those from famous schools."
Zi Rui didn't have as many thoughts as the adults. He just listened to what the adults said obediently, and occasionally thought that he would play the games in the electronic dictionary when he had time later.
His mother didn't allow him to play on the computer, but she bought him an electronic dictionary that also had games, which was a good opportunity for him to slack off when he had time. Anyway, he just needed to get good grades, just like his father said, to combine work with rest.
Liu Lu asked Liao Ping to take Zi Rui to play computer games, and she pulled Chen Yun aside to talk privately, "I heard that Liu Qiao is very well behaved, is it okay if he is not out there? Men still need to be managed, don't give them too much freedom."
Her words warmed Chen Yun's heart: "No, he is very well behaved."
First, they have a very good relationship, and second, Liu Qiao seems to be too busy to do these things. And if someone finds out about finding a woman, it will be a handle. Liu Qiao, who wants to move up, certainly doesn't want to give others a handle.
At this time, Liu Qiao was really embarrassed. An old comrade-in-arms wanted to invite him to dinner. He originally didn't want to go, but the old comrade-in-arms invited him so kindly that Liu Qiao went to the hotel.
The people at the Xidelai Hotel were very responsive. As soon as Liu Qiao arrived, their manager came over. Liu Qiao didn't think about drinking. It wasn't that he couldn't handle alcohol, but he knew too well that drinking could cause trouble. Besides, the older he got, the more restrictions Chen Yun imposed on him. If it wasn't a big happy event, he would basically be in a state of abstinence from alcohol.
The old comrade's surname is Ding. He was a deputy regiment commander of Liu Qiao in Jiangning. He served as deputy regiment commander for a year and then retired. He has a beer belly and looks like a boss.
Liu Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Old Ding, it seems that you are doing well now."
Old Ding waved his hands and said, "What's good about it? It's just a way to make a living. Unlike you, you got promoted again." It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous of Liu Qiao. He was just in his forties and was already a deputy division commander. The key was that the aura was different.
He didn't want to ask Liu Qiao to do anything for him, he just wanted to meet his comrades. After all, one more person means one more way!
Liu Qiao smiled and shook his head: "What's the point of getting promoted? We're all just living the same life."
As the two were talking, the waiters had already brought the food and wine. After three rounds, Lao Ding was already drunk, but Liu Qiao was still indifferent. He only ate the food and didn't drink. Lao Ding also found it boring.
After Liu Qiao walked out, someone in the lobby called him. Liu Qiao turned around and saw that it was Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei was a warm-hearted, kind-hearted and helpful person. He was loved by everyone no matter where he was.
"So it's you."
Xiao Lei was very happy, "Yes, Deputy Commander Liu, I work here."
Liu Qiao gave him a few words of encouragement and then left.
After Liu Qiao left, Lei Qian came down from the elevator and saw her brother laughing. She immediately said, "What are you so happy about? I think you'd better find a sister-in-law as soon as possible."
Xiao Lei scratched his head and said, "What sister-in-law? I just met the leader of the army, Deputy Division Commander Liu Qiao."
Lei Qian smiled and said, "So it was him. Everyone in his family is a good person, and he is also a good leader. His wife is also a good person, no wonder he is getting better and better at his job."
If she had not lived in Chen Yun's house at the beginning, she would not have cooked at Cai Qijun's house, and naturally she would not have earned the first sum of money. Only after getting the money was she able to learn some simple English and work as a waitress. Later, she met Jiang Guian and the two got married.
He didn't comment on what his sister said. He was better than anyone else in the army, but that was all he could do. If he went back to the countryside, he would at best be assigned to a crappy unit. It would be better for him to stay in a big city like Jiangning.

The next day was Chen Feng's wedding day. The groomsmen were also trying on clothes at Chen's house. These groomsmen were all Chen Feng's classmates or friends. The young men looked very energetic and when they saw Chen Yun, they enthusiastically called her "sister".
When Chen Yun saw Chen Feng coming out in a neat suit, she was dazed for a moment. She suddenly remembered that Liu Qiao was like this when she got married.
When she came to her senses, Chen Feng's brothers had already started to make a noise. Zhang Meixiang looked around and thought her son was a very good person.
She said to Chen Yun excitedly: "Your brother is about to get married, so we can put the big things in our hearts aside."
Chen Yun shook her head and looked at her mother and said, "This is just the first step. Once he gets married and has children, you will have more things to do."
Although she gave birth to a child, Zhang Meixiang already had a grandson, but after all, Zirui's surname was Liu, so he was a grandson-in-law, not a full-time grandson.
Chen Yun didn't sleep well at night. Zi Rui secretly said to Chen Yun, "Mom, it's so noisy at home. I can't sleep."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Silly child, this is a happy event. Your family would be noisy like this when you got married."
Zi Rui still didn't understand, and he was still a little angry when he heard his mother say that: "Mom, I don't want to get married. I want to spend my whole life with you and Dad."
"Everyone thinks so. I thought so too. It's all childish nonsense. People should have a companion. Go to sleep quickly. Don't think too much and fall asleep slowly."
As she comforted her son, she slowly fell asleep.
Chen Yun, the elder sister-in-law, could not help much in this marriage. She had not been back to Jiangcheng for a long time, and many people did not recognize her. The strange thing was that everyone was very nice to her and wanted to come up and talk to her.
She still doesn't understand, but her son knows better than her.
Zi Rui said to her, "They are all trying to find out about my father, mom, just ignore them."
Besides, the wedding went very smoothly. Chen Yun also went with the wedding car to pick up the bride and met Jiang Jing's parents, both of whom were intellectuals and very reasonable. Especially Jiang Jing's mother, who had a gentle aura.
Today, Jiang Jing, as the bride, was dressed very beautifully. She looked extremely holy in a long white wedding dress. She smiled very sweetly.
Seeing her brother and sister-in-law so happy, Chen Yun was also satisfied. After Chen Feng got married, Chen Yun brought Zi Rui back. Of course, it was Liu Qiao who came to pick them up. Chen Yun was still very excited after not seeing Liu Qiao for several days.
Liu Qiao was afraid that she was hungry, so he bought some beef cakes for her and her son. Chen Yun ate the cakes and thanked her husband in a vague way.
Now Liu Qiao really treats her like his own daughter and gives her whatever she asks for. He used to be a bit lazy about housework, but the passing of Chen Dafen has inspired him not to tire his wife out.
Because it turns out that people who are too tired can also get that incurable disease, and before he knew it, he had become a very filial husband.
Seeing Chen Yun enjoying her meal, he told her about Chen Feng's wedding: "How was it? Were there many people coming? Was the wedding going well?"
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Of course. My parents have been waiting for this wedding for a long time, and it was a great success. Some people didn't accept it at first, but they came to ask for wine."
She then said excitedly, "Xiao Feng is so handsome. He looks like a movie star in that suit."
Liu Qiao smiled fondly: "That's great."
"That's right. Husband, have you missed me these days?" Chen Yun asked him blankly.
Liu Qiao used one hand to rub her head: "I don't miss you. I have waited here for five or six hours just to pick you up. Why are you becoming more and more stupid now?"
