After every banquet, there were always a lot of leftover dishes. Chen Yun and her daughter-in-law packed a lot of food for each family, all of which were meat dishes. They were basically all distributed. They handed the child to Liu Qiao, and Chen Yun and Feng Yu cleaned up together.

The hot water was put into the basin to wash the dishes, and cold water was used to clean the dishes. Feng Yu refused to use Chen Yun: "It is better to use less cold water. I will do it. Your body has not fully recovered yet, you still need to take care of it."

"It's okay. Mom, you did the most this month. I did nothing." Chen Yun said gratefully.

She never thought that her parents-in-law should help her take care of her children. If they don't help, it's their duty. If they help, it's a favor. People can't always take others' kindness for granted. Even family members are the same. You can't ask for whatever you want. You don't think that because they are family, you should accept all the kindness of others and give back. This is the way to gain and give.

She was very lucky to marry into the Liu family, and both Liu Qiao himself and his parents were very kind to her.

If others are nice to her, she should be nice to them too.

With his daughter-in-law taking over the work, Feng Yu was of course much more relaxed. The two of them worked very quickly. When they left, Zi Rui was lying on his father's lap. Chen Yun called him, "You stinky baby, have you seen your mother and grandma?"

Liu Qiao kissed the baby and said, "Our baby is a sweet baby. Look how sweet he is. Give him a kiss from daddy."

"Don't kiss him so hard all the time. Kiss him gently and don't make the baby uncomfortable." Chen Yun said to Liu Qiao while teasing the baby.

Liu Qiao took advantage of Feng Yu coming in and called her over. Chen Yun didn't know what was going on and went over. He hugged her and gave her a big kiss. Chen Yun said she hated it. Liu Qiao held her hand and said, "This is what it means to kiss you hard. I didn't even use enough strength when I kissed the baby just now."

"You are so childish. I don't know how you can act like that in front of your soldiers." Chen Yun had accidentally learned from a young soldier in the Fifth Battalion that his nickname was "King Yan", who said that he was particularly serious and strict in training.

After she finished speaking, she counted the money she had earned from favors on the sofa. Fortunately, she didn't lose too much. She took out a hundred and gave it to Liu Qiao, "This is for you. With money in your hands, you won't be worried."

After receiving the money, Liu Qiao couldn't help but praise: "Wife, you are so generous."

"That's right. After all, you are the battalion commander. Some of the young soldiers come from poor family conditions. You should help them if you can, so that they can train more attentively." After all, Chen Yun and Liu Qiao came from wealthy families. They both had salaries, and Chen Yun was good at saving money, so she didn't place much importance on money.

Like the small gifts given today, everyone is very happy to receive them, and the cost is not that high. Liu Qiao himself is too lazy to count the money. Although his salary has been handed in, he lives a more comfortable life than before.

"Okay, okay, little housekeeper."

Chen Yun made a face in front of him, and Liu Qiao touched her face with his hand, "Why do I find that your face has become much younger?"

Maybe it was because she ate too well and didn't go out much, but Chen Yun's face was rosy, and her originally fair skin became even more pink and soft. After hearing what he said, Chen Yun thought of her childhood and put her head on his shoulder: "Brother Liu Qiao, I really never thought that I would become a couple with you. I really didn't expect you to have such a conversation with me?"

She sighed for a moment, and Liu Qiao asked with a smile: "When you were little, when you first saw me, what did you think?"

"Thin, very thin and tall, and he seemed like he didn't want to talk to anyone. Weren't you carrying that green shoulder bag before? I saw you carrying it sideways." Chen Yun thought that Liu Qiao at that time was actually just a teenager, and he looked like he was full of thorns.

So when I saw Liu Qiao again later, I felt that he had changed so much. When I saw him again, I felt that he was very humane, considerate and especially good.

Liu Qiao laughed: "I used to be like that, I thought no one could compare to me, or I was too young and loved to play."

He absolutely does not regret being a soldier. Defending the country is every man's dream. When he was young, he was ignorant. After studying, it was natural for him to go abroad. Even today, there is still a craze for going abroad. Not to mention ordinary people, many actors have immigrated, right? But he thinks that the more difficult the country is, the more he should stay. Although he is just a small soldier, he also wants to do his best.

"Now I think you're a good person, but I had too little contact with you when I went back to the countryside when I was a child." Chen Yun felt a little sad. She really wanted to know how this man changed.

Liu Qiao gently pinched her cheek and said, "I can only say that people who are destined to be together will always be together."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zirui in his arms and found that he had fallen asleep. The couple smiled at each other and took the child inside.

Originally, Liu Qiao had time off this year to visit his family, but because his family was here and his children were too young to go back, he did not take the leave. Instead, he urged some single comrades to go back.

It was almost the end of the year, and all kinds of inspections and evaluations were coming. Liu Qiao took the initiative to move to the barracks. He always did his best to do his best, so although the fifth squad was a new barracks, the enthusiasm was particularly high.

And Chen Yun rarely goes out. The weather here in Longcheng is cold, so Feng Yu often buys groceries for several days. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just watch TV at home, take care of the children, and help each other with some housework.

Whenever Feng Yu saw his grandson, his heart would melt, and the installation of the telephone was completed earlier than expected.

Early in the morning, a craftsman came to pull wires and so on. Chen Dafen was watching at the door while cracking melon seeds. She was also very curious. She also wanted to install a telephone. If Hu Yongbing had not given all the money to his brother-in-law, this money would have been more than enough to install a telephone.

Seeing Chen Yun and the others installing it, she couldn't help but ask herself, "How much does it cost to install one?"

Chen Yun thought for a moment and said, "More than 4,500, almost 5,000. We have no choice. My father-in-law is not with us. Sometimes Liu Qiao wants to contact his classmates, and it is inconvenient without a phone."

"Yes, Lijie and Sister Zhang have already arranged it, and it's also at this price. Alas, I don't have the money to arrange it now. I don't know how long this store can last. I plan to save money and then buy a store." Chen Dafen and Chen Yun said casually.

At first she told everything, but later she found out that some military wives were jealous of her and went to complain to the regiment commander. Now she is more low-key than before. The reason she told Chen Yun was because she felt that she had a job and would not steal her business.

Chen Yun nodded in agreement: "That's true. After all, it belongs to the army, not to us personally. It's better to have a plan."

If everything is in the hands of others, then the mountain will fall when you rely on it, and you will fall when you rely on others.

After hearing what Chen Yun said, Chen Dafen felt that she seemed to have changed a little. Since she finished her confinement, she has become more down-to-earth and is no longer as reluctant to give advice to others as before.

Seeing the workers going in to install the wires, Chen Yun hurriedly went in and handed out a pack of cigarettes to each of them. This was common sense and basically considered as a form of reward.

"Mom, when the call is connected, go and have a good talk with Dad. I promise I won't listen."

Feng Yu joked: "You think your father and I are still young and clingy like you and Liu Qiao. I tell you, your father and I have nothing to hide."

The daughter-in-law was a decent person, but her son was too clingy, so she sometimes hid in the house. So when she saw her daughter-in-law making fun of her, she quickly went back.

"Mom, don't you have anything private to say to my dad?" Chen Yun asked deliberately persistently.

"This kid, they are already an old couple, and they are still talking about private things." Feng Yu said angrily, and then said to Chen Yun: "Don't blame me, you should also talk to your parents. I don't know how much they miss Zi Rui, but they are far away and can't see him."

Thinking of her parents, Chen Yun finally realized the pain of following the army. However, she did not lose her composure in front of Feng Yu: "Okay, after you finish fighting, I will fight with my parents too."
