When I got up the next morning, someone was already sweeping the floor outside the door. The tall lady waved the broom and swept every corner of the third floor.

Liu Qiao was going to study with another group for three days. When he was leaving, it was still dark and Chen Yun was still in deep sleep. Feng Yu had already woken up and saw that her son was leaving. She hurriedly pulled him down and said, "I'll go heat up some food for you. Eat your fill before you get on the bus."

"Mom, no thanks. I'll just go to the cafeteria and eat something and leave."

Feng Yu was unhappy: "Don't worry, the food in the cafeteria will be as delicious as what I cook. It will be ready soon."

Liu Qiao had no choice but to wait for his mother to cook. The mother and son had not talked alone for a long time. While eating, Liu Qiao said, "Mom, I'm only going to be gone for a few days. If you and Yunyun have anything heavy to move, don't move it yet. Wait until I come back. Also, Yunyun is young. If she says something you don't like, don't take it to heart. Tell me and I'll talk to her later."

He was giving Feng Yu a heads-up first. After all, no matter how good Chen Yun was, she was still his daughter-in-law, unlike his son. No matter what he said, there would be no rift in Feng Yu's heart.

Feng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, I get it."

When Chen Yun got up again, it was already 7:30. She had a class at 10:00 in the morning, so she had to get up early. It felt good to be taken care of. In the morning, Feng Yu cooked walnut porridge for Chen Yun, with stir-fried young cabbage and a boiled egg. It was very delicious.

"Mom, I used to cook noodles in the morning because I was afraid I wouldn't have enough time. Today I ate very well. It's great to have you here. I'll wash the dishes and go to work."

Feng Yu couldn't persuade her and had to let her wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, Chen Yun went to work and happened to meet Zhu Xiaofang who was about to go out. Because Zhu Xiaofang was pregnant, she arranged for the assistant teacher to pick up her child, so she could go later.

Since Chen Yun was also going there, the two of them went out together. Zhu Xiaofang was dressed very brightly, wearing leather boots under a shoulder-strap suit jacket, just like a model walking out of a painting. She is getting prettier now, and many people whistle when she walks on the street. Chen Yun still looks like a beautiful girl next door, wearing a white waist coat, and her hair is simply braided and clipped with a crystal clip. She is quite calm when walking next to Zhu Xiaofang.

Seeing a peanut vendor on the street, Chen Yun bought some fried peanuts. She wanted to give a handful to Zhu Xiaofang, but Zhu Xiaofang waved her hand and said, "No, no, eating this will make you fat. You should be more careful."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's okay. This can supplement protein."

When she mentioned this, Chen Yun advised her: "I saw your mother-in-law making stewed meat last time. You should eat less of it. It's not good for your health."

I had intended to tell her before, but I kept forgetting it. I only reminded her when I saw the two of them together. Zhu Xiaofang had never been pregnant in her previous life, so she knew that she couldn't eat celery, beef, etc., but she had never heard that she couldn't eat basil. She thought Chen Yun was deliberately arguing with her.

She said stubbornly, "I only did it that one time. I've been buying fresh meat for the past few days. A few days ago, he even bought me some roasted pigeon meat."

"Well, that's good." Chen Yun said with a smile.

When they arrived at the school gate, they both went into their respective classes, but Chen Yun could go home after finishing one class. After returning home, she saw Gao's mother standing at the door and talking to Feng Yu. Feng Yu was listening with a good temper, and when he saw Chen Yun coming back, he smiled apologetically at Gao's mother and turned around to go home.

Chen Yun asked curiously, "Mom, what did this lady tell you?"

Feng Yu smiled and said, "She was complaining about her daughter-in-law. She wanted me to talk about you, but I didn't fall for it. Instead, I asked her about her relationship with her daughter-in-law. What a good family! She complained about everything."

"What is she complaining about? Isn't Zhu Xiaofang pregnant?" Chen Yun still thinks Zhu Xiaofang is so pretty, so it's not a loss for her to marry Gao Guobin, right?

Feng Yu thought her daughter-in-law was too naive: "It's not that simple. Their family is not like ours. When it comes to weddings, both sides compete to pay for the money, and both are afraid that the other side will suffer losses. The Zhu family asked for too much dowry. You won't believe it if I tell you that it was more than 8,000 yuan. Now a dowry of 800 yuan is high in the countryside. 8,000 yuan can buy several houses in the countryside, and maybe even a few acres of land, but the Zhu family only gave a few quilts as a dowry."

"That's fine, but Xiao Zhu saves her salary and asks her son for money to buy clothes from time to time, but she doesn't buy any clothes from her. If I say that you bought this watch from me, won't she feel even more unbalanced?" Feng Yu proudly raised the watch on her wrist.

This was the first month that Chen Yun received her salary after coming here. She combined it with Liu Qiao's salary and bought a mid-priced watch for Feng Yu and Zhang Meixiang, and sent it back to them.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Mother Gao looks honest, but she actually has many ulterior motives. She gets up early every day to help everyone sweep the floor, and she has received many compliments."

After lunch, Chen Yun went out for a walk with Feng Yu. They happened to come across Chen Dafen's store, which was crowded with people. She saw Chen Dafen collecting money with a big smile on her face, so she introduced her to Feng Yu: "This is the wife of the second battalion commander who lives next door to our left."

Feng Yu raised an eyebrow: "I know her. She speaks very loudly. I met her when I went to buy groceries this morning. She was in a hurry and looked very reckless. In fact, when Chen Dafen was going downstairs, she bumped into her."

"She doesn't have any bad intentions and is a very warm-hearted person. It's just that her lifestyle is a little different from ours." Chen Yun also could not forget the time when Chen Dafen helped her carry such heavy things when she first came here.

It is also good to be able to see the strengths of others. Feng Yu also knows that his daughter-in-law is young and has followed the army. She must be full of complaints when interacting with different people. She is in an unfamiliar place and doesn't know anyone. She may be in a bad mood often. But now she can see that although she has some complaints, she can still look at everyone objectively. This mentality is very good.

After receiving the money, Chen Dafen looked into the distance. It seemed to be Chen Yun and her mother-in-law. She curled her lips. In her previous life, she was inferior to the people in the city. She felt that she was shorter than them. She was full of dissatisfaction in her heart, but she didn't say a word. Now she felt that she had broken through herself, she was not afraid of anything, and dared to say anything. This was the most refreshing way to live.

"Sister-in-law Yongbing, thank you very much for your hospitality. Wow, your business is booming."

The person who was speaking was Chen Dafen's sister-in-law, the captain's daughter-in-law. She came here this time to start a small business, but she hasn't found a suitable location yet, so she settled here.

She was quite good at talking and no one had offended her in the village before. Chen Dafen had indeed made a lot of money in the past two or three months. She thought that if she could earn another month, she would be able to buy a color TV. Then Hu Qiang would not have to go to Chen Yun's house next door or Xu Lijie's house to watch TV all the time.

Chen Dafen deliberately said modestly: "It's just to fill my stomach. Besides, I won't be able to work here for long. I'll only work here for a few years and then I'll be able to live off my savings."

"You have a lot of money. By the way, when we came out, your brother-in-law was also going to come, but his wife drank pesticide and was admitted to the hospital, so he couldn't come. I'm sure he will come too."

She was just kindly reminding me, and it was considered a favor to her. Chen Dafen smiled bitterly and said, "Come if you want."
