Chapter 22 Toast



"Okay, thank you, sister." She put the key chain solemnly in her bag.

Chen Feng grinned, and Zhang Meixiang said, "We'll go to the post office with you to mail the quilts we made at home in a few days when we have time. Send a letter back, and don't complain when you get there. Otherwise, Liu Qiao has just been promoted to battalion commander and is very busy every day. When you get home, you will have to listen to his nagging, and the relationship between husband and wife will easily fade."

Chen Yun nodded silently after hearing this. She understood all of this. Liu Qiao had thought of everything for her, so she couldn't go too far.

Many people came to the Jiulong Restaurant. Chen Sipeng opened the car door and went to greet the guests. Liu Qiao was pulled aside by Chen Yun's second aunt Zhong Juxiang and grandmother to talk. When she got closer, she heard her grandmother say something about how she didn't like to clean up. It was really... Fortunately, they shut up when they saw Chen Yun coming. Zhang Meixiang took out the decorations of the bride and groom from the bag and gave them to Liu Qiao and Chen Yun.

Liu Qiao put it on immediately, and when he saw Chen Yun coming over, he complimented her, "So beautiful."

Zhang Meixiang was very satisfied with her son-in-law's performance. She pushed her daughter forward with a smile and said, "Of course, we hired the best makeup artist to do this. Besides, our Yunyun has good skin, so she looks fair without makeup."

"Mom." She felt embarrassed and her face turned red as her mother praised her so much in public.

Liu Qiao held her with his hand and said, "Let's go, the banquet is about to start, we have to go and toast."

The groom is tall and handsome, even a battalion commander at a young age, and the bride is gentle and lovely, and comes from a good family. They are a perfect match. Chen Yun was still a little uncomfortable wearing red high-heeled leather shoes. She usually wears boots, which are usually not too high. These shoes match the cheongsam, so she can't walk properly when wearing them.

"Brother Liu Qiao, I may be walking a little slowly because my shoes are too high and I'm afraid of falling." She explained this to Liu Qiao first because she found that Liu Qiao walked with big steps.

Seeing the stiletto heels that Chen Yun was wearing, from behind, they looked very elegant and beautiful, but they were indeed too high. Liu Qiao said, "Hold my arm, and after Yunyun finishes the toast, you can change your shoes. When we catch the train, there will be a lot of people squeezing around, and it won't be very convenient to wear something like this."

Chen Yun nodded: "I know."

Liu Qiao and Chen Yun toasted at each table with a smile on their faces. They started with the relatives at home. Liu Duo and other relatives of the Liu family came. They all knew that the newlyweds had to catch the train, so they paid for the tea directly at the table. Feng Yu collected the money and gave it all to Chen Yun, and Zhang Meixiang did the same.

Originally, Chen Shi was already married, so it didn't matter whether Chen Yun came to the wedding or not. However, since they had never met Liu Qiao, she naturally wanted to see what her sister's fiancé looked like.

The result was that she was upset in vain. The man was really the son of the director of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, and he didn't look like a soldier as she remembered. He was very polite in his words and deeds. Even her grandmother, who never said good things about others, couldn't stop praising Liu Qiao.

After toasting at every table, Chen Yun and Liu Qiao finally had time to sit down to eat. Liu Lu took the camera and helped take several pictures. "Yunyun, I'll send them to you when I develop them." Liu Lu's son Liao Anan was curious about the camera and kept jumping up to play with it.

Liu Qiao teased him: "An An, come here to your uncle and see what you call her. If you call her correctly, your uncle will let you play with her."

The child was also a clever little kid. His eyes rolled around and he smiled and called out to Chen Yun, "Aunt."

Chen Yun responded quietly, grabbed a handful of candy and melon seeds on the table and put them in his pocket. Liu Qiao put the camera in his hand, taught him how to press the shutter, and then took it away and gave it to Liu Lu. Seeing that Chen Yun didn't eat much, Liu Qiao advised her: "Eat more, otherwise you won't be able to eat this kind of food when you get on the train."

"Hey, what you said makes me not want to take the train anymore."

Liu Qiao laughed, "It's too late. We're already on the pirate ship."

Feng Yu watched them from another table and said to Zhang Meixiang, "The couple seems to have a good relationship."

As long as the children are happy, they are the best parents. Feng Yu told Zhang Meixiang: "I sent the things from home yesterday. They will probably receive them in a few days. I didn't send much. Most of them are nutritional supplements. Some are given by my students when they visit me. Her father and I can't eat so much. Now that we have Yunyun, we give these good things to her to nourish her body. She told me before that she has white hair..."

"That's right. It's all because of staying up late. I saw that she used some connections this time, and the school that accepted her seemed to be chosen by Liu Qiao. I don't expect Yunyun to achieve much, but it would be best if she doesn't stay up late." Zhang Meixiang felt sorry for her daughter.

When military dependents accompany the troops, their jobs have to be rearranged. For example, Chen Yun has a secondary technical school education and is a regular employee of Jiangcheng Hospital. She was originally supposed to be assigned to the military district hospital, but Liu Qiao took the initiative to give up the offer and let Chen Yun go to the school affiliated with the military district to be a teacher. Of course, this was also with Chen Yun's consent.

Because teachers have winter and summer vacations, and two days off on weekdays, it is said that the wife of another battalion commander is also a teacher who follows the army, so they can take care of each other.

At noon, most of the guests were leaving after lunch. Liu Qiao and Chen Yun went to see them off. A kid bumped into Chen Yun accidentally. Liu Qiao quickly hugged her. The two were teased by their relatives. Chen Yun also realized something she had never thought about before, that is, couples should do some intimate things. After reading so many romance novels, she had a lot of theoretical experience, especially those scenes of love and affection that often appeared in her mind. It was with Liu Qiao. She looked at him. In reality... well, it was okay.

She had seen such explicit scenes before, with traces of love left everywhere, such as on the balcony and in the bathroom. When Chen Yun thought of this, she was afraid of being discovered, and she returned to her usual smiling face.

In the afternoon, relatives had to stay for another meal, so Zhang Meixiang and Chen Sipeng and his wife could not leave. Chen Yun went home with Liu Qiao, and Liu Qiao drove Chen Sipeng's car to take Chen Yun home.

They did not go to the banquet in the evening. Chen Yun counted the money given by the relatives in the car. The Liu family received the most money from Liu Lu, who gave almost 500 yuan. Many of the Chen family's relatives were in business and were generous, so they also received more than 600 yuan.

"Brother Liu Qiao, it's about twelve thousand in total. Is it expensive to buy things in Longcheng?"

Liu Qiao looked in the rearview mirror and said to Chen Yun, "It's not expensive. Although Longcheng is big, its economy is not developed. You have to be mentally prepared. There is a big difference between Longcheng and Jiangcheng."

"I'm glad I have Brother Liu Qiao. I'm not afraid with you around." Chen Yun said casually.
