Seeing Liu Qiao clearing his throat, Chen Yun quickly stopped her from talking: "Mom, don't ask anymore. This is Brother Liu Qiao's private matter."

Zhang Meixiang also knew that she had said too much, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "I know. I'll go wash the dishes first, and you can talk to your brother Liu Qiao."

But Liu Qiao stood up and was about to leave. Zhang Meixiang tried to persuade him to stay, but Liu Qiao declined, "Aunt Zhang, I have to pick up my sister. You should go earlier this afternoon. My mother has cooked a lot of dishes. Please ask Uncle Chen and Xiao Feng to come over."

Seeing that she couldn't keep Liu Qiao, Zhang Meixiang had no choice but to say, "Okay, we'll all go. Since you still have something to do, let Yunyun see you off."

This time Liu Qiao did not object. Chen Yun changed into sandals and went out with him. After they went out, Chen Yun apologized: "Brother Liu Qiao, my mother just cares about you. Don't take her words to heart."

"That's not the case." Liu Qiao said with a smile.

After sending him downstairs, Chen Yun turned around and went upstairs. Zhang Meixiang had already washed the pots and pans. She muttered, "If you want to have a partner, it would be great if you could bring him over now. It would save people from asking me every time I go out. You said Zhao Mingzhang was such a good person, but you broke up."

"Mom," Chen Yun said impatiently, "Who said I'm not a civil servant? Zhao Mingzhang's parents want to find someone who works for the government and has a city hukou. The girl he's looking for now works at the tax bureau, so they're going to break up with me, aren't they?"

Zhang Meixiang hadn't thought of that reason yet. "He's such a jerk, isn't he? He's been chasing you for half a year, and everyone in your hospital knows about it. Now he's doing this again. What are you going to do in the future?"

Fortunately, Chen Yun was very open-minded. "What else can I do? Just keep looking. Anyway, I have a salary now, enough for me to use." As she spoke, she picked up a pocket book and read it. She was so immersed in the book that she gradually forgot who Zhao Mingzhang was.

As a mother, Zhang Meixiang is very concerned about the affairs of her daughter. Her family is not poor, but they are in business, and her daughter's educational level is just so-so. But her daughter is not in a hurry. Isn't that making her angry?

At noon, Chen Yun's father Chen Sipeng brought his son Chen Feng back home. Chen Feng was a naughty boy who turned on the TV as soon as he got home. This TV was a color TV that Chen Sipeng bought at a department store this year. It was a foreign product that cost several thousand yuan. Although it only had a few channels, it was the most attractive to a child like Chen Feng.

"Dad, you're back. Brother Liu Qiao came this morning and asked us to go to their house for dinner together this afternoon." When Chen Yun saw her father coming back, she said to Chen Sipeng while helping to serve the dishes.

Chen Sipeng was a little surprised: "Why are we going to have a meal during this non-holiday season? Is Liu Qiao getting married?"

"No." Zhang Meixiang had just touched upon Liu Qiao's secrets in the morning. When she heard what her husband said, she quickly interrupted him: "Liu Qiao broke up with his girlfriend. The good guys have been dating for many years. We saw the girl a few years ago. She was gentle and pretty, and she was a university professor."

Zhang Meixiang and Chen Sipeng had little educational level. Chen Sipeng only studied in junior high school for two years, while Zhang Meixiang had not even graduated from elementary school. The two of them envied the intellectuals.

Chen Sipeng felt very sorry after hearing this. The reason why their family and Liu Zhiguo's family were able to interact was because Liu Zhiguo saved his daughter many years ago. But they got along better and better afterwards because of their passionate love for each other, so Liu Qiao also sincerely hoped for the best for him.

One special feature of the Chen family's meal time is that they are not allowed to do anything else, including reading or watching TV. Chen Yun picked up a few bites of vegetables, and Zhang Meixiang immediately picked up a pig's trotter and put it in her bowl.

"Don't always follow others' way of losing weight. Girls should be a little fatter to be blessed." Zhang Meixiang couldn't stand people talking about losing weight. Her daughter was born so blessed, with a round little face and pink cheeks on her fair face, like peaches. It wouldn't look good if she was too skinny.

Chen Yun said helplessly: "Mom, don't you know that the thinner the better nowadays. Take Yanyan among our nurses, who is 1.65 meters tall and weighs less than 90 kilograms. There are many people chasing after her. Even the son of our vice president is chasing after her."

Every little girl loves beauty, especially in the summer when everyone wears dresses. Others are as thin and straight as scallions, but her legs are like a dragon's legs.

"That Yanyan, isn't she a temporary worker?" Zhang Meixiang said indifferently.

In this day and age, if you are not employed by the government, you have no security. Although Chen Yun is now a formal employee and her salary is not high, it sounds better than being a temporary worker.

Zhang Meixiang is very warm-hearted, generous, and hardworking, but she has one bad point, which is that she looks down on others. Chen Yun also knows this about her mother, so she deliberately said, "If she becomes the daughter-in-law of the vice-director, she might be promoted to a full-time position and become the head nurse. Why would she have to manage me?"

"She is capable of this." Zhang Meixiang has seen Yanyan before. Last year, she went to her store to buy clothes. She tried on all the clothes in the store, but ended up not buying a single piece. If she had the money, she would have bought them earlier.

Chen Yun picked up a piece of green pepper with chopsticks and put it in her mouth: "Of course not, don't look down on me." She finished the last mouthful of rice, washed it under the tap, and went to the balcony to check on the garlic she planted.

Seeing his sister put down her bowl and chopsticks, Chen Feng couldn't wait to finish his last bite and go to do his homework, leaving Chen Sipeng and his wife there to talk.

"Hey, what do you think Director Liu wants us to do today?" Zhang Meixiang was still a little worried. They had a good relationship with the Liu family, but it was not as close as a family. They just visited during the holidays.

Chen Sipeng said indifferently: "Why do you care what he does? Just take the cigarettes and alcohol."

"Why don't you care about anything? Your daughter will be 22 years old soon. If you don't say anything to her, what will happen in the future? Last year, all the nurses in the maternal and child care department were single, but this year they all got married as if they had agreed. Do you think Yunyun will not be laughed at in the hospital? You are so selfish. You always say that your daughter can love freely, but in the end you let the child grow older. Zhao Mingzhang pursued our Yunyun very vigorously before, but then he met someone from the tax bureau and he immediately stopped being with our Yunyun. He is your friend's son after all." Zhang Meixiang became more and more angry as she spoke. It would have been fine if Zhao Mingzhang had been low-key in pursuing her daughter, but he was so high-profile and then broke up. Didn't he make a fool of his own daughter?

But Yunyun doesn't take it to heart.

Chen Sipeng would never have thought so much. Zhao Mingzhang's father was a building materials merchant, and his clothing store used all the building materials from his family. They got to know each other after a few visits, and Zhao Mingzhang began to pursue his daughter. Chen Sipeng thought he was an open-minded father, so he did not try to stop him and let things take their course. He never expected that this bastard Zhao Mingzhang would dump his daughter.

The author has something to say: I didn't expect that so many people like to read my novels. I was planning to update it after I finished another novel, but I saw a lot of comments from friends, so I updated one chapter first. I hope you will support my new book. I hope friends who like it will collect and click on it.
