Chapter 260 Enjoying a Peaceful Life

Jiang Zhixun wasn't there, so Shen Qingqing came downstairs half an hour later than usual.

The rest of the family had already eaten breakfast; some went to work, and others went out for a walk.

Only Jiang's mother was in the living room, watching TV and knitting a sweater.

Knit it in advance, and you can wear it as soon as the weather gets cooler.

Hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, Jiang's mother put down her work and hurried to the kitchen to bring out breakfast.

He gestured for Shen Qingqing to sit down, saying, "I steamed some xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), eat them quickly, they're still warm."

Besides xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), there are also cold dishes, one meat and one vegetable.

Simple, but all of them are the kind that whet the appetite.

As the weather gets hotter, appetites tend to decrease, so eating some sour and spicy cold dishes is a good idea.

Shen Qingqing said, "Mom, please eat some more."

"I just ate, I'm not eating anymore."

Seeing her tired face, clearly not having slept enough, Jiang's mother, being someone who had been through it all, naturally knew what was going on.

It must be that kid Zhixun who's been pestering Qingqing.

I was both happy and heartbroken.

The couple had a good relationship, so the baby came quickly.

But endless physical activity isn't good for your health either.

Fortunately, Zhixun is busy with work and doesn't have many opportunities to go home; otherwise, if they continued to indulge themselves, their health would be affected sooner or later.

Knowing that the young girl was shy, Jiang's mother didn't say anything untoward.

Q: "There's still a lot of wedding candy, a big box of pastries, and lots of apples left at home. When are you going back to school? You can take them with you and share them with your colleagues."

Shen Qingqing replied, "I'll leave in a bit to go back and take care of some work, otherwise I'll fall behind in class."

Jiang's mother thought she was too modest.

"You have a good memory, you can remember everything you see, you can probably recite the contents of the textbooks backwards."

Being a teacher isn't easy; the same knowledge can be delivered very differently by different people.

Shen Qingqing has a wealth of knowledge, but if she wants to express it clearly and well, she inevitably has to put in a lot of hard work before class.

She's still a relatively new teacher, so lesson preparation is very important.

Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "Since you trust me so much, I can't let you down. I have to work harder and come back when I can be recognized as an outstanding teacher, so that you can be proud of me."

Jiang Zhixun was an excellent pilot who received many honors.

Jiang's mother is always very proud when she talks about it.

Shen Qingqing had excellent grades in school, always ranking first.

Jiang's mother also felt honored.

She helped the Shen family take care of their children, and not only did she keep the children from going hungry or getting cold, but she also took such good care of them.

In Jiang's mother's view, the certificate that Shen Qingqing brought back was the best affirmation of her as her guardian.

Only when Qingqing doesn't suffer any hardship in life can she concentrate on her studies, right?
She didn't mistreat Shen Qingqing!
Now that she's heard that Jiang's mother is going to compete for the honor of outstanding teacher, her attitude has changed.

To prove to outsiders that he had taken good care of Shen Qingqing.

I am genuinely happy and proud for Shen Qingqing.

"An honor is just a title. You are a new teacher now and still young. You will have many more opportunities in the future, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Shen Qingqing swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth. "You have to work hard while you're young. Who knows if you'll have this drive in the future?"

Jiang's mother agreed with this.

Many people don't work hard when they're young, and the older they get, the less they want to strive.

When you get old and look back, you'll realize you've wasted your whole life.

A surge of heroic spirit welled up within me: "As long as I have the strength, I'll fight for it. You don't need to worry about things at home."

It must be said that having Jiang's mother at home has indeed relieved them of their worries.

Shen Qingqing sincerely praised, "You are the pillar of our family; this family cannot do without you."

As a housewife, Jiang's mother sometimes feels that she has given a lot and taken good care of the elderly and children.

Sometimes I feel like I'm holding everyone back.

She didn't go to work and didn't earn any money for the family to eat or use. Shen Qingqing's words undoubtedly struck a chord with Jiang's mother.

"Mom doesn't have any great abilities. My biggest wish in this life is to take good care of you all."

Shen Qingqing nodded, "You've taken such good care of us. There's so much to do at home, I don't know when I'll be able to let you enjoy your retirement."

Jiang's mother's lips curled up quickly, "I don't have to go out to work, I don't have so many worries, I'm just enjoying my retirement."

Shen Qingqing said, "When you don't have to do any housework or worry about anything, that's when you can truly enjoy a peaceful and happy life."

The more she spoke, the more moved Jiang's mother became.

They felt that their efforts were seen and appreciated.

She said modestly, "Doing housework is very simple and not hard. Anyway, I feel very fortunate."

Their family is small, and their biggest worry has already been resolved.

Jiang's mother felt that all the good days she had left were good days.

Go get the yarn, and keep talking to Shen Qingqing while you knit.

"What did the school say about allocating housing?"

Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, "Once I finish the projects I have on hand, I should be able to shorten the time a bit."

A house is very important.

Shen Qingqing doesn't own a house. Although she's married and has a place to live, she still wants to apply for a house.

That was money she earned through her own abilities; it had nothing to do with the Jiang family.

It means a lot to her!
As a woman, Jiang's mother could understand Shen Qingqing's thoughts.

If you had the means, who wouldn't want their own house, their own car, their own money...

These are the foundations of a person's confidence!
Therefore, he did not persuade Shen Qingqing to go home.

“It’s good that the school provides housing. It’s convenient for you to go to work. Anyway, we’re both in Beijing. Zhixun can come to the school to keep you company when he’s on vacation.”

"Moreover, once you have a room, you'll have a place to cook. You can make whatever you want to eat, and there will always be hot meals available."

"It's good to be allocated a house. You should do your best and try to get one next year."

Shen Qingqing: "I usually eat at the school cafeteria, and I come back for a free meal on Sundays if I have time."

This is a tacit statement that she will go home on Sunday unless there is something urgent.

Jiang's mother was even happier.

If the daughter-in-law is at home, the son will naturally come home as well.

Qingqing is back for dinner, that's great news!
"If you're not coming back, call ahead to let me know. If you don't, I'll assume you're coming home for dinner."

"Row."

After finishing breakfast, Shen Qingqing cleaned up the dishes and went upstairs to take a shower.

The house has a bathroom, which is more convenient than the school dormitory.

Although Jiang Zhixun was very careful, he was always afraid of hurting Shen Qingqing.

But a few ambiguous marks were still left on her.

Shen Qingqing checked herself in the mirror and made sure there were no marks behind her ears or on her neck before she felt relieved.

Now that the weather is getting warmer and people are wearing lighter clothes, these details are important to pay attention to.

After taking a shower and washing my hair, I went to pack my things to take back to school.

I'll be going back to the compound often in the future. I only brought two sets of clothes with me; the rest I left in the bridal chamber.

There are also books.

Wedding candy, snacks, and fruit for colleagues.

They didn't take everything; they left some for the elders in the family.

Everything was packed up and filled two large bags.

As before, Jiang's mother saw Shen Qingqing off to catch her ride.

I met Yang Fen on the bus.

Shen Qingqing was carrying many bags, and her mother-in-law was seeing her off to the car.

She said sourly, "Some women are terrible daughters-in-law, and their elders have to wait on them."

Shen Qingqing smiled happily, "Some people are born without anyone to care for them, they're so pitiful."
