After three years of marriage, she didn't go home? 70's Jiaojiao wants a divorce

Chapter 262 Sweet Words
Shen Qingqing had already hung up the phone, but Jiang Zhixun was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Reluctantly, I put down the receiver.

"Married men are just different. This clingy, affectionate side of them is something I would never have imagined two years ago!"

Zhou Jie laughed teasingly and even exaggeratedly smacked his lips, making a kissing sound.

"Thank goodness Comrade Shen wasn't around, otherwise you might have eaten him alive!"

Jiang Zhixun was embarrassed for a moment.

It wasn't visible on the face.

"You think it's justifiable to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls?"

"I don't want to hear it either, but you're so high-profile, it's hard not to notice."

Zhou Jie patted Jiang Zhixun on the shoulder, looking pleased.

"I was worried that you got married late and wouldn't be as romantic as young people, and wouldn't be able to make Comrade Shen happy. But now it seems I was naive. You're quite good at it!"

Jiang Zhixun was speechless. "I got married when I was 25, so it's normal for me to know how to coax her."

There was just a slight mishap in the middle.

Strictly speaking, they have been married for nine years, well past the seven-year itch.

Zhou Jie: "You got married early, but you were so foolish back then, it's no wonder you couldn't win over Comrade Shen!"

Jiang Zhixun's ears turned red from being constantly exposed for his shortcomings.

He still can't understand how he could have done something so childish back then.

It was nothing serious, but he made a huge fuss about it like the sky was falling.

In the end, it was all a misunderstanding.

Qingqing and the old man didn't conspire together at all.

So many good years have been wasted.

Jiang Zhixun truly doesn't understand his past self, who not only went to the Northwest but also didn't return home for three years.

I don't know if they've got a screw loose.

If he could turn back time, he would definitely go back and give that bastard a good beating!
He clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, giving a fake cough.

"Aren't you going to call your sister-in-law?"

"beat."

Zhou Jie looked at Jiang Zhixun warily, "Don't eavesdrop on our conversation."

Jiang Zhixun: "A guilty conscience needs no accuser!"

Because she overheard him talking to Qingqing, she judged him by her own standards.

Zhou Jie clicked his tongue, "I was listening openly and honestly."

Without arguing with him any further, Jiang Zhixun put his hands in his pockets, a smile playing on his lips, and left the communications room in a good mood.

He was always in a good mood whenever he talked to Shen Qingqing on the phone.

But the thought of not seeing each other for the next three months instantly made me feel lost.

He touched his chest, where a wedding photo of him and Qingqing lay.

This is all I can do to remember you by looking at this object.

……

Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun are both incredibly busy; they've disappeared since their honeymoon ended.

They had agreed to have dinner at the compound every Sunday, but for several weeks in a row, Jiang's mother received calls from Shen Qingqing saying that she was at a critical stage in her work and couldn't come home to have dinner with them.

At the dinner table, Jiang's mother suddenly sighed.

Jiang's father was puzzled. "What's wrong? Has someone upset you again?"

Jiang's mother gave her husband a reproachful look.

"I just have mixed feelings."

"How to say?"

Jiang's mother: "I used to always want my children to be successful and make me proud. Now that they are so successful, I feel that it's better to be ordinary, at least I can see them every day."

Jiang's father disagreed, saying, "Children are thinking, flesh-and-blood people. It's a good thing that they are hardworking and ambitious. We can't keep them at home forever. They also have their own life path to walk."

“I understand the reasons, but I feel uneasy because they don’t come home.”

Jiang's father: "What's so bad about it? We don't have to cook for them, and we can relax a bit."

“You’re just stupid!” Jiang’s mother said. “The children haven’t been home for so long, don’t you miss them?”

"Thinking about it is useless; saying too much will only become a burden for them."

Jiang's father felt a little jealous that his daughter-in-law devoted herself entirely to the children.

After the old man finished eating, he got up and went to the yard. Jiang's father said, "Don't keep thinking about them."

Jiang's mother retorted, "Otherwise, who should I be thinking about?"

Jiang's father coughed lightly, his meaning quite clear.

"What's there to miss about an old married couple like us? Besides, I see you every day, I'm tired of seeing you."

Father Jiang: "..."

In a resentful tone, she said, "It's only been a few years, and you're already annoyed?"

Amused by this, Jiang's mother chuckled, "We've been married for almost forty years, don't you think it's annoying?"

Time flies, and before you know it, most of your life has passed.

Jiang's father felt a little melancholy. "I still feel like a young man. How come I've been married for so many years?"

Jiang's mother rolled her eyes. "When did you learn to deceive yourself? Young man, people will laugh at you if they find out."

"If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who will know?"

Jiang's mother: "I'll talk."

Father Jiang: "..."

His lips twitched. "You can't side with outsiders and laugh at me."

"You know it's a joke?"

As she talked, Jiang's mother couldn't stop laughing.

She carefully observed her husband's current appearance; his temples had turned gray, and his face bore the marks of time.

He was much more easygoing in front of his family, but he still looked very upright and dignified.

“We’re really getting old.” Jiang’s mother touched her face.

Although she takes good care of herself, her skin isn't as firm and smooth as a young person's.

As if knowing what his daughter-in-law was thinking, Jiang's father smiled and said, "I'm getting old, but you're still as beautiful as you were when you were young."

He fell in love with his wife at first sight.

I knew she was the one from the very first meeting on our blind date.

We've been married for so many years, and although we've had our share of ups and downs, we've still managed to get along quite a bit.

But when trouble comes, they always stand on the same side and support each other.

Jiang's mother was a little embarrassed by her husband's straightforward praise. "I didn't know how to say sweet words when I was young, but now I'm shameless."

"It's not too late to tell me now."

Despite her advanced age, Jiang's mother was still blushing with embarrassment, as if she had returned to her youth and the time when she was dating her lover.

With a smile in his eyes, Jiang's father said, "This life has been worthwhile."

He has no regrets, whether about his family or his career.

No.

If I really have to say what I regret, there is one thing.

That means I didn't teach Jiang Zhixun well, which made him confused about matters of the heart.

The man, who had been smiling, suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "You brat, wait till he gets back and see if I don't teach him a lesson!"

Jiang's mother was startled.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Jiang's father snorted, "That brat is just annoying. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch."

I thought that the past should be filled with sweet memories.

That brat messed things up.

There aren't many pleasant memories from the past few years.

“He not only ruined himself and Qingqing, but he also tormented us too.”

Jiang's mother was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what her husband meant.

Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.

"They've all moved on, but you're still thinking about it."

Jiang's father said, "I'm going to remember this. If he shows any signs of having a relapse, I'll see how I deal with him!"

He was met with a glare from his wife.

"Can't you wish them something better?"

Jiang's father snorted and remained silent.

Jiang's mother looked smug. "The young couple has a very good relationship. You want to teach him a lesson? You won't have the chance."
