After returning to Longcheng, she felt that things had changed a little bit but at the same time she felt that nothing had changed. For example, she saw Chen Dafen more often because Chen Dafen was now at home taking care of the children and the store had been transferred to someone else, so they saw each other every day.

When Chen Yun came back from school, she saw Chen Dafen at the door again. Like Gao's mother, she had moved the coal stove outside to stew food. The door was open, and she saw Chen Yun and greeted her.

"Is Chen Yun back from get off work?"

"Yeah, Sister Dafen hasn't eaten yet?" Chen Yun asked casually.

Chen Dafen smiled awkwardly. After she bought out the house, her family went back to the days when they relied on Hu Yongbing. She had to take money from her husband, which was very difficult for her to do, and she could not object to her husband's decisions. Just like she thought before, whoever had money had more say.

Her home is different now than before. Most of the time, Hu Yongbing brings back meals from the army canteen, and she has to wait for him to bring them back before she can put them on the stove to heat them up. She is not like Chen Yun and the others who can buy whatever they want to eat. After all, they are working people with a fixed salary every month, and they do not have burdens like them.

It is very difficult for Feng Yu to cook now, because the baby will crawl all over the house, so she is afraid that he will hurt himself, so she can only take care of him. Fortunately, after Chen Yun came back, she cooked for everyone.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Chen Yun said to Feng Yu, "Mom, do you want to go out for a walk? I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll stay at home and take care of Zi Rui."

"Let's take Zirui out for a walk together. The child also wants to go out and play, but I'm afraid I can't take care of him by myself."

Chen Yun also knows that her son is very strong, sometimes like a little bull. Now he doesn't dare to bump into people casually, but he likes to twist left and right and is not obedient. Only when Chen Yun yells at him, he pretends to be pitiful and dares not speak. When his father pretends to spank him, he even pretends to cry. Anyway, he is now a cunning little thing.

She stewed lamb leg soup with carrots. She cut the lamb legs into pieces, rinsed them with water, and then put them in a pressure cooker to press the dough. Then, as usual, she steamed an egg for the baby and fried some vegetables while steaming rice.

"Mom, I'll hold him, you eat first."

Chen Yun kept the steamed eggs warm and fed them to the baby. Unexpectedly, Liu Qiao came back at noon. She smiled and said, "I just made your favorite soup. Serve yourself a bowl and drink it first."

When Liu Qiao got home, he washed his hands with soap first and kissed the baby's face before sitting down to eat. The mutton soup was soft and delicious. He couldn't help but eat an extra bowl. Seeing that Chen Yun was still feeding the baby, he picked some and gave it to Chen Yun.

"I'm an adult, but I still need you to feed me?" Chen Yun was happy, but she would not refuse anymore.

At noon, Zhao Huimei sent another roast duck over. Feng Yu refused for a long time, and Zhao Huimei smiled and said, "This is for you to eat. Just accept it and don't be shy."

Feng Yu happened to see Zhang Han at the door again. Seeing that she looked a little strange, he hurried forward to ask her. Zhao Huimei also asked a few questions with concern. She didn't expect that Zhang Han was pregnant.

This news made Chen Yun, who was having dinner, couldn't help but run to the door to congratulate her, "Sister Zhang, this is really good news..."

Zhang Han was also stunned. She was going to give Xiao Lan a property she had invested in today, but she was soon found to be pregnant. She wondered if the baby in her belly was protesting. Xiao Shunping had not agreed to give all the assets to Xiao Lan. Although the couple treated Xiao Lan very well, she was not their biological daughter after all.

How to choose is the problem? They certainly think that Xiao Lan is a benefactor for helping them to have a child.

After thinking about it, Zhang Han still decided to give the property to Xiao Lan. Since she had decided to adopt her, she should treat her fairly.

Of course, everyone who learned about this had mixed reactions. Liu Qiao said, "Actually, no matter what you do, it's biased."

You said you treat your adopted daughter the same as your biological daughter, so isn't that partiality to your biological daughter? You are obviously the biological daughter, yet your adopted daughter is surpassing you.

Liu Qiao told Chen Yun: "If it were me, I would not adopt. It's not that there's anything wrong with having your own child, but some people are born childless, and that's destined."

Chen Yun also knew that Liu Qiao said this because he already had a son, who was healthy and smart and could already call him dad when he was ten months old. She still remembered how happy Liu Qiao was when she was pregnant. So everyone has a different standpoint. When they have their own children, they naturally think their own children are the best, and there will always be a distance between them and other people's children.

But Zhang Han and the others had gotten pregnant almost out of despair, and now that they were pregnant, they naturally felt relieved, and even had a feeling that they had finally gotten what they had been waiting for.

Their long-cherished wish has come true. They are so worried about the outcome that they dare not do anything too biased. If they do, what if their child cannot survive?

But what should we do if the adopted child grows up and starts competing with our own child?

In short, with the troubles that came one after another, Zhang Han felt happy but also a little conflicted.

When Zhao Huimei's belly was showing, Gao Mengxiang and Zirui were about to celebrate their first birthday. Originally, Gao Guobin wanted to hold the wedding for both families together, but Liu Qiao refused.

"Although it's only one day away, the date is close, but everyone does it according to their own wishes."

Liu Qiao was planning to invite everyone to his home for a simple meal, but Zhu Xiaofang next door wanted to go to a hotel to host the dinner. Feng Yu said to his son, "Do you want us to go to a hotel as well?"

It doesn’t matter if they are adults, but children should not be outdone by others!

Chen Yun and Liu Qiao decided to have the dinner at home: "Let's have the dinner at home. It's also a good idea to invite some of Liu Qiao's subordinates to have a meal. Let Brother Liu Qiao take care of the kids, and you and I can cook. We can prepare most of the dishes the day before and put them in the refrigerator."

"Yes, Mom. A tall tree attracts the wind. The lower-key we are, the better. I, your son, am the battalion commander now. Many people have already complained about me. If I continue to be grand, people will think how much money I have earned as the battalion commander?" Liu Qiao also felt that there was no need to go to the hotel. Their family had the money, but they couldn't spend it like this.

Seeing that his son and daughter-in-law said so, Feng Yu had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Xiaofang started to prepare a birthday party for her son with great fanfare. Zhu Xiaofang said with a smile, "We'll also hire someone to show movies downstairs in our building, and invite everyone to come and watch."

Because Zhu Xiaofang stood up for the Gao family at Zhou Suiyan, Gao's mother no longer had any complaints.
