The men were still talking at the table, spitting everywhere. Chen Yun knew they would not leave so soon. Qin Guizhi did not leave the table either. Her daughter-in-law had already gone in with her grandson in her arms. Chen Yun saw that the plates on the table were empty and felt a little bored. She would not come to such occasions next time. It was not that she was afraid or anything, but there was no need for her to do this.

If Qin Guizhi was entertaining the couple, she would not only talk to the men, she would also invite guests and accompany them when they were there. If she just sat there like this every time she came, she would definitely not come. Even when she went to Liu Qiao's house, Aunt Feng asked Liu Qiao to talk to her and did not say that she would miss the guests.

After enduring till the end, Chen Yun went back with Liu Qiao with a fake smile on her face. Liu Qiao seemed to have a good alcohol tolerance. He drank the most at the table, but when he came out, he was sober and didn't look like a drunkard at all.

After returning home, she was picked up by the man behind her as soon as she closed the door. Chen Yun screamed out in surprise, but the man was very strong and quickly carried her to the bed. Chen Yun could not resist no matter how hard she tried. Fortunately, Liu Qiao was very gentle later, so she did not get angry. After the incident, Liu Qiao fell into a deep sleep, but Chen Yun propped herself up and wiped her body.

This was the first time she couldn't sleep, especially when she thought about that scene, she felt even more out of place. She used to feel good about herself and thought she was quite good at getting along with others, but after seeing this today, she felt that she was really nothing compared to the big guys.

If it's always like this in the future, she will be so tired. She doesn't like drinking, no matter what. She doesn't like telling those jokes, and she can't stand listening to anything with even a little bit of alcohol in it.

The adult world would think that she is too childish and inappropriate, but she is willing to live like this.

Liu Qiao woke up and found no one around him. He got up and put on his clothes and pants. Seeing that Chen Yun was not in the room, he quickly ran to the closet to check. Only when he found that his clothes were still there did he feel relieved.

Chen Yun came in from outside and saw him in the room wearing autumn clothes and autumn pants. She asked in surprise: "Brother Liu Qiao, are you looking for clothes?"

Liu Qiao smiled awkwardly, touched his head, and made up an excuse, "Can't find my socks?" He was too embarrassed to say that because he was afraid that his wife would run away.

"Didn't I tell you before that I put them all in this drawer? Your socks are in here. Come, let me get them for you."

Chen Yun opened the third drawer and handed a pair of socks to Liu Qiao.

Liu Qiao took it and put it on his feet, pretending to be casual and asked: "Where have you been?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Where else can we go on New Year's Day? Xu Lijie from the upper floor called us over to eat dumplings. We each ate one and then came down."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

**

This was the first time that Chen Yun spent the New Year away from home. Her parents and relatives were not around, and her husband had to lead the team in training. She turned on the TV, and everything on TV was joyous. Someone was requesting songs, and they were all lively and festive New Year songs.

So she was still with him, however, she didn't have much stock, if possible she really wanted to buy a few more and keep them at home, so that she would have something to do for fun when she had nothing to do, otherwise she and the others here were just polite faces, except for Chen Dafen next door who was willing to talk about her family affairs every day, no one else would open their hearts to her.

After watching for a while, Chen Yun took out the wool she bought in Longcheng and crocheted a shawl while listening to TV. She thought that if she became a teacher, she would spend a lot of time in the office, and it would be perfect for her to take a nap sometimes.

When she had nothing to do before, she bought a lot of knitting books and detailed instructions on crocheting. She didn't have much time to crochet clothes before, but now that she has more time, she decided to study it carefully. She agrees with a sentence written in a book she read before, that only by enduring loneliness can you not feel lonely. She does more things she wants to do when she has free time.

While crocheting a sweater, she put the longans and wolfberries that Feng Yu sent her into a pot to stew. In this way, the afternoon passed quickly. Unconsciously, she was almost through middle age. She looked up at the calendar on the wall and it was already the tenth day of the first lunar month.

It happened that Liu Qiao was also on vacation that day, so the two of them decided to go to the hospital to visit Zhu Xiaofang's mother-in-law.

Zhu Xiaofang's mother-in-law had two tumors in her stomach. Fortunately, they were benign and she had surgery right away. Now Zhu Xiaofang is taking care of her directly in the hospital.

"Let's buy some nutritional supplements and bring them over. The bone-strengthening powder that the elderly drink will be enough." Chen Yun said to Liu Qiao.

There was a skin care product store next to the military hospital, so they bought two bottles and went to the ward. Liu Qiao saw Chen Yun crocheting sweaters every day these days and thought she would do the same with him, but she didn't. She wore a camel-colored semicircular shawl over her white woolen clothes, which looked quite fashionable.

"Yunyun, are you going to work in a few days? I'll take you there then." Liu Qiao was afraid that she would be scared, after all, she was going to an unfamiliar place, and most of the people here spoke dialect.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Brother Liu Qiao, you will spoil me if you do this. I am not a child anymore."

Liu Qiao sighed: "Yunyun, don't be too sensible."

"I'm not very sensible..." Chen Yun didn't know what to say. Maybe it was because she had lived with her grandparents since she was a child. Her grandparents treated her very well. She had food and drink, but nothing else. At that time, she felt that no one in the world loved her. Since no one loved her, she had to love herself. So when her parents took her to the city, she was very surprised. Why didn't she cry like other children and say that her parents were partial to her, but accepted it calmly?

Chen Yun doesn’t know if this is a life attitude, that you don’t need love from others, loving yourself is enough.

Liu Qiao was waiting for her to continue, but she didn't say anything. He felt annoyed. The more he understood her, the more he felt that she was not what he saw at first. He really wanted to be good to her, but he didn't know how to be good to her.

Zhu Xiaofang's mother-in-law lived in the inpatient department on the third floor. There were many patients in the room. When Chen Yun came in, Zhu Xiaofang was peeling apples. Gao's mother could only drink liquid food, so she peeled apples for the elderly next to her.

Seeing them coming, Zhu Xiaofang was still very happy, "Liu Qiao, Chen Yun, you are here. My mother-in-law will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Fortunately, she is fine."

"That's good, that's good. We heard about it from your husband Gao yesterday, so we decided to come and take a look." Chen Yun handed the nutritional supplements in her hand to her.

Zhu Xiaofang thought to herself, when she talked to Chen Dafen yesterday, she said she was coming to see her mother-in-law, but why is she gone now? She didn't come, but Chen Yun and her husband, who she usually didn't care about, came instead.
