Chapter 37: Real Talent and Real Action



Zhu Xiaofang's mother-in-law has short hair and looks young. Even when she is lying in bed, she looks smart and neat. She is a very thoughtful person. Although she speaks with a strong accent, you can hear gratitude in her tone.

"Auntie Gao, you just had the operation, so you should rest well. I'll come to see you next time when you are discharged from the hospital." Chen Yun said a few words to her and was about to leave. After all, this was a ward, and it was not good to stay here for a long time.

Zhu Xiaofang wanted to send Chen Yun and the others out, but she refused. When Zhu Xiaofang returned, Gao's mother hurriedly asked, "Is this also Guobin's comrade-in-arms?"

"Yes, that's right. I used to be in the same battalion with Guobin, both were deputy battalion commanders, and now he's the battalion commander." Zhu Xiaofang explained the background. Her mother-in-law prided herself on being the wife of the village committee secretary, and she always thought she was very knowledgeable, and she was very proud of having trained a deputy battalion commander.

After she married into their family, she was treated like a concubine, and Gao's mother felt that she was marrying above her station. But she also found it funny that Gao's mother herself had ruined her son's marriage. Gao Zhiguo had been dating a woman from a bank, but Gao's mother rejected her because she was not a virgin. Gao Guobin was the same way. The mother and son liked her because of her looks and education.

"What, Xiaofang, you said that this young man is the battalion commander just now, how did you say that? Wasn't he the deputy battalion commander like our Guobin before? How come he was promoted?" Aunt Gao raised her voice.

Zhu Xiaofang remembered that this was still a ward, and hurriedly said, "Mom, please keep your voice down, be careful that others may hear you."

"Okay, okay, I know, go ahead." Aunt Gao immediately stopped talking.

Zhu Xiaofang said, "Liu Qiao has good connections with the higher-ups. He is the son of a high-ranking official, so this is the case."

This is the only explanation. Gao Zhiguo is the prince in the village, but he is not good enough outside. Even if he has the same ability as others, he does not have their background.

But she didn't know that Liu Qiao was not only better than Gao Zhiguo in academic qualifications, coordination, but also in technical aspects. Being a battalion commander is not just about technology.

Gao's mother sighed: "You should have said you would get married later." In order to find a daughter-in-law, their family built a big house, bought a new motorcycle, and even used all the money Gao Guobin brought home as a betrothal gift and for the wedding.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaofang shrank her neck.

Mother Gao thought about it and still felt angry: "No, I want to live here when I am discharged from the hospital. I can't watch my son's opportunities being taken away by others. The boy just now was so young, how could he compare with our Guobin?"

As for Chen Yun, after she and Liu Qiao returned together, Chen Yun looked at herself in the mirror conceitedly and found that the shawl was so fashionable that she even turned around on purpose.

Liu Qiao was a man of great character. Seeing his wife like this, he quickly praised her: "Yunyun, are you really going to wear this when you go out? Oh, I'm really afraid that everyone's eyes are on you."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Chen Yun blushed.

She took off her coat and hung it up, watching her husband hugging her from behind. Chen Yun shyly asked, "What do you want to do now?" She originally thought that Liu Qiao was thinking about it again, but he just hugged her quietly and said to her, "Yunyun, I'm serious. You have to tell me whether it's good or bad. Brother Liu Qiao will do his best to help you..."

Chen Yun is not a reticent person. Since he asked, she also expressed her thoughts: "I feel that I am a bit out of place at the wine table. I can't drink, and I can't tell jokes. I try hard, but I still can't do that."

Liu Qiao suddenly relaxed after hearing this. He smiled and scratched Chen Yun's nose: "If you become like that, I will be sad. I like you to be quiet and gentle like this. Only when I see you do I want to go home and feel comfortable. I think you are the best like this. I told you that if you encounter such a thing in the future, you can do whatever you want. I originally wanted you to go to dinner with me so that we don't have to cook at home. It can be regarded as giving face to Aunt Qin. I also saw that you were restrained. I wanted you to go back and watch TV, but you kept smiling. If you told me, you would just go home."

Chen Yun was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that Aunt Qin will be angry?"

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if she's angry. I just want to maintain relationships with everyone. I don't have to look at other people's faces for everything. Your husband doesn't have this little ability, so how did he get to where he is now?"

"Are you comforting me, or are you serious?" To be honest, Chen Yun really thought that Liu Qiao and Qin Guizhi had a good relationship before, and there was no need to explain the reason.

Liu Qiao's eyes widened, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Of course what I said is true. As the battalion commander, it is not the regiment commander who can decide. There are so many deputy battalion commanders in our regiment, and the regiment commander is only responsible for reporting the list. It was the superior leader who read my information and came to inspect us, so he let me be the battalion commander."

"I thought..."

"You still think he is doing this because of my background? How is that possible? My father is the local police chief. Besides, you know my father's temper. He hates these things the most. As his son, how could I hold him back? I have achieved everything based on my own abilities, so there is no need for you to try to please others." Liu Qiao said frankly.

There are many things he hasn't told his wife, for example, Captain Zhang himself is from the countryside and likes rural soldiers, thinking they are hardworking and down-to-earth. He doesn't think much of him as a city soldier. Instead, the division commander saw him in individual combat and competitions and thought he was good, could comfort soldiers, and had strong skills, so he let him go.

Chen Yun said happily: "It seems that there is still a lot I don't know about Brother Liu Qiao. You are right, we are husband and wife, so we have to tell each other the good and the bad. Now I think you are really good..." After she said that, she turned around and hugged her husband.

"In the future, you can do whatever you want with Aunt Qin. Just try not to fall out with her. Don't try to curry favor with her. Just do things your own way. Just don't confide in Aunt Qin." Liu Qiao instructed. He wished he could tell his wife everything he knew.

Chen Yun asked: "Why?"

Liu Qiao raised his eyebrows: "You see, she is always nice to me and ignores you, which makes me unhappy. I like you so much, everyone knows it, you are my wife, why is she putting on airs?"

His words touched Chen Yun's heart, and her smile deepened. "I understand."

“Hehe…”

Chen Yun patted him: "What are you humming?"

"Now that you know what's going on, shouldn't you knit a vest for your husband? Why, you only care about your own beauty..."
