Chapter 23 Farewell



Liu Qiao looked at Chen Yun. He thought these words would not come out of Chen Yun's mouth. After all, Yunyun was not a very open person. On the contrary, she ignored him directly when he said those words last time. Now she can say this to him, which means that she really accepts him.

The two went upstairs together. Liu Qiao weighed the luggage that Chen Yun was going to bring. It was really a lot. Chen Yun went to the kitchen to boil water first. She was very relaxed at home. While the water was boiling, she changed into a big cotton padded jacket in the room. After opening the door, Liu Qiao came in. He couldn't close his tired eyes. When he saw Chen Yun's warm little bed, he wanted to lie down.

"Yunyun, I'm going to sleep at your place for a while. Please wake me up at 4:30."

Chen Yun saw that he was extremely tired and felt a little distressed: "It's okay, you go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on the time."

The mattress on her bed was made of freshly fluffed cotton, weighing six pounds, and the cup covering it was a duck down quilt bought by her father, which was very light but very warm. Liu Qiao took off his down jacket and smelled a faint fragrance as soon as he entered, which made his heart itch. He suppressed his inner turmoil and wanted to give Yunyun a perfect wedding night. Otherwise, he was so tired and his gun would disarm as soon as he picked it up, which would be so embarrassing.

Accompanied by the girl's subtle fragrance and the soft quilt, Liu Qiao fell asleep quickly. Chen Yun waited for the water to boil before washing her hair and taking a bath. In winter, people's skin peels easily, and so does she. Her legs are especially dry. After taking a bath and wrapping her hair, she hid in the bathroom and frost her body. Then she got dressed and went to the living room to blow-dry her hair.

Because Liu Qiao slept in her room, she was afraid of waking him up. At the same time, she also felt a sense of relief. They were finally married smoothly, and there was one more person in her room. She actually liked this feeling.

After blowing her hair dry, Chen Yun smelled her hair, which was fluffy, fragrant and soft, and smooth to the touch. After she finished this series of things, she looked at the clock and saw that it was already half past three. Thinking that there would be nothing to eat on the train, Chen Yun thought about making something for herself and letting Liu Qiao taste her cooking skills.

At home, there are bean shreds that Zhang Meixiang usually shows off. Bean shreds are a favorite of Jiangcheng people. They can be cooked directly in water. But they have no taste. They are too bland. Since Liu Qiao has finally come back, she should try some home cooking. Although her cooking skills are not as good as Feng Yu's, they are not bad either.

She cut the meat into strips, and then stir-fried it with green pepper strips in a pan until half cooked, then put it aside. Since the bean strips had to be boiled in water, Chen Yun decided to cook them last, as she had to stir-fry a few other dishes first.

Chen Yun cut the potato and lotus roots into strips, coated them with a little flour, and then fried them in a pan. After frying, she took them out, poured out the oil, and put them in the pan again, stir-fried them with a little salt and pepper, and served them. Stir-fried double strips is a famous dish in Jiangcheng, and it avoids those who want to eat both lotus root and potato strips and have difficulty choosing. Add a little pepper and salt, and it is simply perfect.

There was some basil at home, so she boiled some water and then added some red peppers to the pot. She looked at the time and saw it was already four o'clock, so she boiled some water, put in some shredded beans, and when it was almost done, she added the shredded pork and green peppers. When she saw that the soup was thick, she turned off the fire, put all the dishes on the table, and called Liu Qiao to get up.

"Brother Liu Qiao, get up. I've made some food. Let's eat before we catch the train."

Her soft voice reached Liu Qiao's ears. Liu Qiao opened his eyes in a half-asleep state and suddenly felt as if he was in a dream. He did not wake up until he saw Chen Yun.

“Yunyun…”

"Brother Liu Qiao, it's already ten minutes past four. I cooked some bean shreds. Would you like to have some?"

Seeing Chen Yun wearing an apron, Liu Qiao felt relieved. He got up and put on the slippers that Chen Yun had brought back from Chen Sipeng, then went out to the living room. Seeing Chen Yun's expectant eyes, Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Did Yunyun make all these?"

Chen Yun nodded vigorously, as if to say, “Try it.”

This kind of home cooking made Liu Qiao, who had just woken up, especially hungry. He drank a mouthful of bean thread soup, which was really rich, salty and appetizing. Especially the stir-fried double thread, Liu Qiao took a big chopstick of it. Seeing how supportive he was, Chen Yun also ate it with relish.

Liu Qiao ordered three more bowls of bean shreds and ate all the double shreds. He also ate almost all the mackerel. Chen Yun thought that he could just wash the dishes. However, Liu Qiao wanted to show off, so he washed the dishes after Chen Yun collected the dishes.

Chen Yun took out her bag again and counted the important items. She felt relieved only when she saw that nothing was missing.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Liu Qiao packed up with Chen Yun and helped Chen Yun stack the cups. Chen Yun looked a little embarrassed because she basically didn't fold the quilt in winter and just spread it all over the bed, which was nothing like the tofu blocks stacked by Liu Qiao.

"Let's go, Yunyun."

Chen Yun took a deep breath, carried her bag and a box, and followed Liu Qiao down. Liu Qiao had to go find Chen Sipeng first, and then Chen Sipeng could drive the car back after they arrived at the train station.

When they drove to Jiulong Restaurant, relatives knew they were leaving and stayed there to chat with them. Feng Yu even secretly gave Chen Yun another passbook. She also said to Chen Yun: "Your brother Liu Qiao never saved money before. When you go to the army, you must manage your money well."

Chen Yun was in tears and laughed at what she said. Feng Yu was her own son and she knew it herself. Liu Qiao had always been a man who spent every penny he had and didn't know what saving money was for. Although he was training well in the army now, his personality, especially when it came to money, was still that of a rich young master.

"Got it, Aunt Feng."

"Still call me Aunt Feng?"

Chen Yun blushed and called out, "Mom."

**

After bidding farewell to her relatives and friends, Chen Yun couldn't help biting her lip and crying as she got into the car, especially when she saw Zhang Meixiang's legs unconsciously moving forward as she watched the car start. Then, for some reason, she stepped back and waved at the car going away.

Chen Sipeng didn't know what to say. After all, he was a man, and he wouldn't show his reluctance to give up everything for his daughter like Zhang Meixiang did. Liu Qiao looked at Chen Yun through the rearview mirror and silently said in his heart that he would make sure Yunyun lived a good life.

The car quickly arrived at Jiangcheng Railway Station. Chen Sipeng helped to carry the luggage in. When they arrived at the ticket check-in counter, he handed the box to Chen Yun.

"Go ahead. Dad is back home. There are still many relatives at home. Please take care of your belongings on the train. When you get there, call Dad. Remember Dad's office phone number, right?"

Chen Yun just kept nodding.

Chen Sipeng smiled, waved at her, turned and left. Chen Yun bit her lip, took out her ID and ticket, and entered the train station. The train station was crowded at this time. Jiangcheng Railway Station was one of the largest transfer stations in the country, and many people from other places also transferred here. When they arrived, it was already 5:40, and there were no seats left in the waiting hall.

Liu Qiao put the luggage on the ground and placed a box across the ground. "Yunyun, sit on it."

Chen Yun shook her head: "No need, just stand for a while and we can go into the station." In fact, she was quite embarrassed in public, and she was even more afraid of getting the light pink down jacket she was wearing dirty.

"Okay, then let's talk while standing." Liu Qiao said with a smile.

He was wearing a down jacket and had his hair done with mousse, so he looked very energetic and had a very good temperament. Chen Yungang felt a little cold coming in from outside, so she wanted to ask, "Is it even colder in Dragon City?"

Liu Qiao said: "Yes, but our community has heating, the house is very warm, just wear a sweater."

Sweater? Chen Yun was relieved. Jiangcheng was cold in winter, and the house was cold too. In winter, Chen Yun rarely went out except for work.

Seeing Chen Yun smiling, Liu Qiao's heart softened. He unconsciously reached out and touched her hair. "Don't worry, the school is almost on vacation. You can go there to get familiar with the environment. It's best to play at home. It's not cold. Otherwise, you will catch a cold if you go out."

Chen Yun doesn't have any special skills now. Because her family is rich and she is young, her parents arranged her job for her. Even her current job was chosen by her husband. She looked up at Liu Qiao and said, "Brother Liu Qiao, do you think I should learn something?"

Liu Qiao glanced sideways: "What do you want to learn?"

Chen Yun took a deep breath and said, "I haven't decided yet, but I still want to learn something about my hobbies, otherwise I will be left behind. I have always been a lazy person, and I feel that I shouldn't be doing this after getting married."

"Well, then when you go to school it would be best to choose to be a secondary subject teacher. If you become a main subject teacher, there will be a lot of things to do. Besides, you have a soft temper, and it will not be easy to teach children nowadays." Liu Qiao suggested.

After all, he is eight years older than Chen Yun and has more social experience. It is a good thing for people to have a sense of responsibility. However, Chen Yun, a military dependent who follows the army, is not a real teacher who graduates from a normal school. She was directly parachuted in, which would have caused gossip. Moreover, many schools still have substitute teachers waiting to be regular teachers. She should keep a low profile when she has this opportunity.

When the time comes, I will be a secondary subject teacher, and I will have more time, and it will be easier for me to do other things.

Chen Yun nodded after hearing this, "Brother Liu Qiao, you are absolutely right."

She had actually worked in a hospital before and knew about interpersonal relationships, especially in public schools. It seemed that Liu Qiao really cared about her.

Seeing Yunyun praising him like this, Liu Qiao unconsciously said a little more, "In our family area, there will be many wives from the countryside who come to follow the army. It's not that I have any prejudice against rural people. Of course, most of the wives are very nice, but after all, the families living in our family building are the families of a regiment, so there are all kinds of people. When I'm not around, just treat them as a treat. Don't be too open-hearted, little fool."

He even called her a little fool. Chen Yun made a face and said, "Brother Liu Qiao, I have also worked for many years. I know all this. Many people still praise me for being smart."

Liu Qiao smiled dotingly: "Who would say that they are smart if they are truly smart, you little fool?"
