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

Chapter 265 Preparing gifts
Shen Qingqing accepted the invitation; even if she couldn't attend in person, she couldn't skimp on the monetary gift.

If Jiang's mother has time, help her attend the banquet.

Shen Qingqing had no objection.

So he went with Jiang Zhixun.

When asked when he would be back, he replied, "If the timing is inconvenient, you can go home by yourself. I'll pick you up from the train station if I have time."

After mentioning the final exam dates, Shen Qingqing added, "After the exams, it doesn't mean I'm on vacation."

Jiang Zhixun had already planned the timing: "After the final exams, and on Sunday."

That day was also his birthday.

Jiang Zhixun wanted to "test" Shen Qingqing to see if she could remember.

I also found this method boring.

If Qingqing didn't remember, would he hold a grudge?

If they really hold a grudge, it will affect their marriage; that's really just making trouble out of nothing.

Jiang Zhixun said bluntly, "That day was my birthday, and you treated me to dinner."

Shen Qingqing laughed and said, "You're already thinking about food before the person is even back?"

"Yes, I'm thinking about it."

Previously, Shen Qingqing was unsure when Jiang Zhixun would return to Beijing.

He also planned to call Shi Yu and ask her and Chen Shaojie to celebrate with Jiang Zhixun.

"Luckily I haven't called Shiyu yet, otherwise she would have wasted her time."

Jiang Zhixun was in a great mood.

It turns out Qingqing had already thought of that.

With a smile in her voice, she said, "It's my birthday, why bother others? If it really can't be celebrated, you can make it up to me when I get back."

Shen Qingqing stroked the receiver, her expression thoughtful.

I decided to make a birthday cake for Jiang Zhixun. He doesn't like things that are too sweet, but he thinks that a soft and fluffy cake base is delicious.

Making it yourself allows you to control the sweetness level.

The elderly in the family can also eat some.

"Await your return."

Jiang Zhixun hummed in agreement, already looking forward to the day he would go home.

He missed Shen Qingqing terribly after not seeing her for almost three months.

I really, really want to.

He always carried the photos with him and looked at them so often that the edges were almost frayed.

When I get home, I'm going to stare at her all day!

After Shen Qingqing finished speaking with Jiang Zhixun, she gave her seat to Jiang's mother.

Jiang Zhixun is her husband and also the son of her elders; they should also have a chance to connect.

Let them talk, and Shen Qingqing went to the kitchen.

Since I have some free time now, I'd like to try making a cake base in a rice cooker.

If we succeed, we'll buy some cream, jam, and fresh fruit for Jiang Zhixun's birthday.

If it doesn't work out, I'll just buy a birthday cake from the store.

Hearing the noise, Jiang's mother curiously peeked out to look.

I don't know what Shen Qingqing is up to.

He instructed Jiang Zhixun, "Work diligently and don't get distracted. Come back when the mission is over."

Jiang Zhixun: "Take care of yourselves at home."

Jiang's mother: "Your father and I are doing very well, it's just that with the hot weather, the old man's energy and spirit are not as good as before."

The old man had health problems, but fortunately he received timely treatment back then, and he has been taking his medicine and having check-ups on time ever since, which has gradually stabilized his condition.

But as people get older, their physical condition can no longer be the same as before.

Jiang Zhixun wasn't around, and Jiang's mother didn't want him to worry.

"Once the sun sets and it gets a bit cooler, the old man can still go out for a walk. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Jiang Zhixun: "Make sure the old man takes his medicine on time."

“I’m keeping an eye on him. I get his medicine every day, so he won’t forget anything.”

Jiang's mother repeatedly told Jiang Zhixun to take good care of himself, and even after hanging up the phone, she was still a little worried.

I always feel like there's something I forgot to say.

Shen Qingqing said, "You only have this misconception because you love him too much."

Parents who love their children are always afraid of not showing enough care.

Jiang's mother: "All parents are like that." Shen Qingqing doesn't think everyone loves their child.

He simply said, "It's a blessing to be your child."

Jiang's mother wasn't perfect, but as a mother, she was impeccable towards Jiang Zhixun.

Even Shen Qingqing, aside from that unpleasant incident, did not suffer any other grievances.

Shen Qingqing always had a way of making Jiang's mother happy.

Seeing her scoop up some flour, I asked, "Are you making a midnight snack?"

Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "It's his birthday soon, so I wanted to make a cake myself. I'll put less sugar in it so it's healthier."

Jiang's mother laughed teasingly, "It's a good thing Zhixun doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Jiang's mother felt that it did, saying, "Things you make yourself have a different meaning. Even if you give him a leaf, he will be happy."

Jiang's mother couldn't help but laugh at the thought of her son being worthless.

He said to Shen Qingqing, "Young people these days like romance. Go to a hotel and book a room, bring the cake with you, go out to eat and watch a movie with Zhixun first, and then go back to the room to eat the cake. You can do whatever you want without us being a third wheel."

Shen Qingqing felt ashamed.

What could she and Jiang Zhixun, a man and a woman alone in a room, possibly do?
He cleared his throat. "He hasn't been home for three months. You must miss him."

Jiang's mother smiled meaningfully.

She was young once too, how could she not understand the situation?
He hasn't been home for three months, that kid must miss Qingqing the most.

"After you two finish your date, it's not like you're not going home."

She didn't get pregnant when she was newly married, and if she doesn't seize this opportunity, Jiang's mother feels that her wish to have a grandson will become even more distant.

Shen Qingqing: "I still want to eat cake with you all."

Jiang's mother: "If you teach me how to make it, I can make it anytime I want to eat it, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to eat it together."

Her mother-in-law suggested they go on a date, but Shen Qingqing was genuinely embarrassed.

The burning heat on my ears never subsided.

Looking back, I think it wouldn't be bad to go on a date once in a while.

I have elderly relatives at home, and the dormitory isn't well soundproofed, so I always feel restricted.

Feigning composure, she said, "Alright, then we won't go home for Jiang Zhixun's birthday."

Jiang's mother nodded repeatedly, "Perfect, I don't need to prepare any special meals."

The matter was settled.

Shen Qingqing rested at home for a day before going back to work.

Before leaving, he left some money for Jiang's mother, asking her to help deliver the money as a gift.

Although Jiang's mother was not short of money, Shen Qingqing could not bring herself to spend her elders' money with a clear conscience.

The money that should be given still needs to be given.

This is her attitude.

Jiang's mother was happy to take on this task.

On the day of Zhou Hansheng's wedding, Jiang's mother dressed appropriately and wore light makeup.

Compared to her peers, she looks incredibly healthy.

It's like I've become ten years younger.

When they meet someone they know, they say with a smile, "My daughter-in-law is busy with work, and my son isn't home, so she specifically asked me to come to the banquet on their behalf."

Upon seeing Zhou Hansheng and the bride, he said many kind words.

Zhou's mother looked displeased, feeling that Jiang's mother was showing off, but she couldn't find any evidence.

With a forced smile, he said, "Teacher Shen is such a busy person; it's really not easy to see her these days."

Jiang's mother nodded, "She is indeed quite busy. Zhixun will be home in a few days, so she needs to hurry up and finish her work. Otherwise, she won't have any time to enjoy some alone time with him."

Many people present, although they had no connection with the Jiang family, knew what kind of family they were.

They were incredibly warm and welcoming to Jiang's mother.

"The young couple has a really good relationship."

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "It is only after going through twists and turns that we know who is the right person."

Jiang's mother wasn't there to cause trouble.

After exchanging a few perfunctory words, they handed the stage back to the Zhou family.

More and more people know that Shen Qingqing is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.

A few people knew about the relationship between Shen Qingqing and Zhou Hansheng, and their gazes toward Zhou's mother became complicated.

One is a mother-in-law who belittles her at every turn, and the other is a mother-in-law who always puts a good face for her.

Isn't it obvious which door to enter?
