70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 38 Your man is back, but he doesn't want to see you

“This child is always impatient. He comes back to get something and leaves immediately, even forgetting his meal.

I have to rush and deliver it to him before he goes far away.

He had been gone for several days, and had eaten up all the coarse grains and pickles he brought with him. I packed him some hot pancakes so that he could have a warm meal. "

When Shen Nanqiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, and said, "Mom, I'll go give it to Jiang Zhe!"

In this village, there are always some people who have nothing to do and are looking forward to seeing her and Jiang Zhe make a fool of themselves. As long as there is any movement, they will immediately jump out to gossip.

If she went to deliver food to Jiang Zhe, not only would she be able to make those people shut up, but she would also be able to find a chance to have a good chat with Jiang Zhe.

Although there is not much affection between them, it is better than getting divorced every day.

After all, my parents-in-law are old and the child is about to go to school. We can’t keep going like this.

Song Xia didn't expect Shen Nanqiao to offer to deliver food, and her eyes lit up:

"Nan Qiao, are you really willing to go? That's great! Jiang Zhe has gone to the east end of the village. He has only been gone for a few minutes. You still have time to catch up with him now!"

"Okay, Mom, just wait for me to come back."

Shen Nanqiao hurried out with the food.

There were no street lights in the village at night, but fortunately it was not completely dark yet.

Song Xia was walking home happily and happened to meet her neighbor Li Xiuying who was hanging clothes upstairs.

Li Xiuying asked curiously, "Sister Song, why are you smiling so happily?"

"My daughter-in-law went to bring food to Jiang Zhe. I'm so happy!"

Li Xiuying was a little surprised: "What? Your daughter-in-law? Her relationship with Jiang Zhe has improved?"

"It was just a little awkwardness between the couple before, but they can get along after some adjustment."

Song Xia returned home with a brisk pace.

On this side, Shen Nanqiao was jogging all the way.

At this time, Jiang Zhe was striding towards the village entrance, followed by Chen Qi.

Chen Qi looked at Jiang Zhe's increasingly fast pace, and was very surprised. He said:
"No, Brother Jiang, didn't you hear what your wife said just now?
I feel like Shen Nanqiao has changed a lot recently. He no longer asks for a divorce from you like he used to."

Chen Qi really couldn't understand.

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly when he heard Shen Nanqiao's words just now, but when he heard that Shen Nanqiao was going out to deliver food, he suddenly quickened his pace, as if he was afraid that Shen Nanqiao would catch up with him.

Jiang Zhe had a calm expression on his face and responded calmly: "There is nothing to communicate between her and me."

After all, they always quarreled whenever they met in the past, so it would be better for them not to meet.

He goes home less often. As long as she can be quiet and stop making trouble, he can stay at home forever.

Seeing this, Chen Qi said:
"But hasn't she changed now? Haven't you always wanted to live a good life? And you said before that you don't like Su Qian, and you have nothing to complain about marrying Shen Nanqiao. Why is she like this now? Are you really thinking about divorce?"

"Jiang Zhe, you have to think it over carefully, there has never been a precedent of divorce here.

Every family has its ups and downs, but we just have to make do with it. Before, it was Shen Nanqiao who wanted a divorce, but now she is content. You still have two children, so just make do with it."

Chen Qi is firmly opposed to divorce.

He felt that since the two had a child, there must be an emotional foundation between them.

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and some fragments of memories emerged in his mind.

He and Shen Nanqiao had only had two intimate contacts, both when Shen Nanqiao was drunk. She was in a daze and mistook him for someone else.

Although Jiang Zhe felt a little unhappy, he found it difficult to suppress his instinctive impulses in that situation.

After all, he was married, and his parents were looking forward to having grandchildren, so it would be hard to explain if he didn't have children. So during those two times, although Jiang Zhe felt a little depressed, he also tried his best.

Who would have thought that just those two times, they would have children.

With one son and one daughter, the family is considered happy.

Jiang Zhe said in a low voice: "I can't figure out what she is thinking now. What if she is pretending?"

Chen Qi smiled and said, "So you don't want a divorce, you just have doubts about her."

The two walked to the entrance of the village, and Jiang Zhe prepared to load the things he brought from home onto the cart.

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to bring his lunch.

Chen Qi held the hot naan in his arms, and seeing Jiang Zhe's gaze, he quickly hugged him tightly:
"Jiang Zhe, I can't give it to you! It's not like you don't have it, it's just that you don't want it!
This is something my mother made especially for me. I don’t even have enough for myself, so I definitely can’t give it to you!”

Chen Qi actually said this on purpose because there were still twenty minutes before departure.

Shen Nanqiao was just in time to deliver the meal.

He just wanted to see how Jiang Zhe would deal with this situation.

After Chen Qi boarded the cart, Jiang Zhe stood there alone, his face looking obscure and deep.

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to eat, and he would probably go hungry for the next few days.

For truck drivers, wages are settled once every two months, but the amount settled each time is quite considerable.

Recalling last month, Jiang Zhe and Chen Qi resolutely invested their savings into an outside business.

That business is still in its infancy.

Jiang Zhe told his parents everything.

His parents supported him without hesitation, and kept telling him to go out and venture into the world without worry, saying that they would take care of all the household expenses.

I remember when Jiang Zhe returned from retirement in the army, the whole village was in an uproar, with all kinds of cold words being said.

Those people said, so what if Jiang Zhe spent so many years in the army?

In the end, when he returned home, he hadn't even earned any decent merit, and the retirement compensation he received was pitifully little.

It's totally worthless.

It was also because of this that Comrade Su Qian changed her mind and abandoned him without hesitation, and married the successful Liang Yuansheng.

Jiang Zhe retired due to injury, which made him quiet and he rarely communicated with people in the village.

So when faced with these rumors, he just swallowed them silently and never bothered to waste energy to explain even a single word.

Over the years, he has been driving a truck in wind and rain, and the money he earns not only covers the family expenses, but also supports his sister's college expenses.

But Shen Nanqiao was completely unaware of these things.

Shen Nanqiao used to be indifferent to the Jiang family's affairs. If she knew about this money, she would have squandered it all.

Jiang Zhe knew in his heart that the only person he felt guilty about was his father.

Most of the salary earned every month was taken away by Shen Nanqiao.

Fortunately, he has finally saved enough start-up capital and opened a transportation company with a few like-minded partners.

In this era, the logistics industry is still immature and full of unlimited potential and opportunities.

They were thinking that if they could master all the transportation routes across the country and expand the business step by step, their family's life would get better and better in the future, and their parents would be able to enjoy a peaceful life.

Jiang Zhe raised his hand slightly and touched his belly subconsciously, with a complex look in his eyes.

Forget it, I'll just be hungry. It's better than having another argument with Shen Nanqiao when I meet her later.
