Chapter 268 Comparison
After his birthday, Jiang Zhixun turned thirty-four.

After returning from their late-night snack, the two lay in bed talking, and Jiang Zhixun still seemed a little melancholy.

I'll be forty soon.

Shen Qingqing also felt that time was passing quickly, and chimed in, "I'll be thirty soon."

His forties are still a long way off, but her thirties are just around the corner.

When it comes to age, there's always a difference between those starting with "2" and those starting with "3".

Shen Qingqing still feels like a young girl now, but her mindset might change when she turns thirty.

Jiang Zhixun carefully examined the woman who was resting her head on his arm. Compared to the year he went to the Northwest, she had become more mature and peaceful, with a kind of refined and mature temperament.

But whether it was the Shen Qingqing of the past or the current her, she could always hold his heart firmly.

Finally reunited, Jiang Zhixun cherishes every day he spends with Shen Qingqing.

"What are you looking at?"

The man's gaze was intense, lingering on her face, making it impossible for Shen Qingqing to ignore him.

Jiang Zhixun: "I'm wondering what you'll be like at thirty."

Shen Qingqing asked curiously, "What kind of image do you envision?"

The man said with a mocking expression, "It might be even fiercer than it is now. You never used to scold me, but now you not only scold me, you also scratch me."

"Jiang Zhixun, you're in big trouble!"

Shen Qingqing rolled over and started scratching him, but the man lay flat on his back, looking delicate and weak, letting her do whatever she wanted.

As the commotion escalated, the situation spiraled out of control once again.

Jiang Zhixun: "It's so nice to have a birthday. I'll stay here during my vacations from now on and enjoy some time alone with my partner."

Shen Qingqing: "You spendthrift!"

Jiang Zhixun: "Save where you should save, spend where you should spend."

……

Jiang Zhixun returned to the compound at noon the next day.

She looks great, like a gentle breeze.

Not seeing Shen Qingqing, Jiang's mother looked at her suspiciously, "Did you make Qingqing angry again, kid?"

Jiang Zhixun was puzzled, "Am I that indebted?"

"Of all the people in this family, you're the one who owes the most."

Jiang Zhixun carried the bag upstairs. "She went back to school."

The students were already on holiday, but Qingqing still had work, so she could only squeeze out time to spend with him on his birthday.

Jiang's mother said, "Her previous job was more flexible."

Do as much work as you want.

More work, more reward.

No location restrictions.

They earn much more than the average person.

Jiang Zhixun frowned. "Let her do whatever she wants. Don't nag her about it."

"I was just speaking from the heart, I didn't tell her to change jobs."

University professors have such great jobs.

She's not crazy enough to encourage Qingqing to do something foolish.

"Are you on vacation? You can pick Qingqing up after get off work and take her home for dinner. You're free anyway, so why don't you just take her to and from work and let her stay at home tonight?"

"Ah."

The school was deserted as students were on holiday.

It's still more comfortable to eat and sleep at home.

Jiang Zhixun didn't say anything more, took a few steps upstairs, and disappeared around the corner.

Even though the two of them weren't home, Jiang's mother cleaned the house every day, keeping it spotless and tidy.

First, hang the clean clothes in the closet, then go to the bathroom to wash them while wearing only a vest.

Some were his, and some were Shen Qingqing's.

Jiang Zhixun had done this countless times. During Shen Qingqing's time abroad, he took care of all her belongings.

It's just washing clothes, nothing could be simpler.

Jiang Zhixun inevitably blushed when washing his underwear.

Some indescribable images appeared in my mind.

Her ears turned red as well.

But when I thought about my status as a married man, I felt at ease.

Shen Qingqing became his wife when she was twenty years old.

He's helping me wash my underwear, what's wrong?
Jiang Zhixun has a strong grip; he can clean his own clothes in just a few strokes.

But he didn't dare to use force when dealing with Shen Qingqing.

I was afraid of ruining the clothes. I gently lathered them with soap, then gently rubbed them, and finally rinsed them several times with clean water.

They are serious and meticulous in their work.

Only after making sure it was completely clean did I hang it on the balcony to dry.

With good weather, it won't take long to dry.

After collecting the laundry in the afternoon, I can go to the school to pick up the student; the timing will be just right.

Shen Qingqing had just spent one night in the bridal chamber not long ago, and the pillows and blankets still smelled of her.

Lying on the double bed, Jiang Zhixun felt completely at ease.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

I spent three months on the mission and then took a long train ride.

Then I had countless in-depth conversations with my wife.

I barely slept the night before.

Now that I've relaxed, I fell asleep in no time.

Jiang's mother didn't go upstairs to disturb him; she just stayed in the kitchen and stewed chicken soup.

The body is the capital of revolution.

Zhixun's training is tough, and Qingqing is also very tired from work, so they need to be well-nourished.

Simmering over low heat, time passed slowly, and the aroma filled the air.

When Jiang Zhixun woke up, they had all floated upstairs.

Knowing that his wife loved noodles, Jiang Zhixun saw that it was still early and went downstairs to make wontons.

Qingqing will really like it when eaten with chicken soup.

Jiang's mother knew his little scheme and was secretly pleased, thinking that her son had finally come to his senses.

If she continues to be as immature as she was back then, she'll be worried sick.

After making the wontons, Jiang Zhixun went out to pick up Shen Qingqing.

Thinking he could meet up with his wife on the way, Jiang Zhixun didn't drive, but rode Shen Qingqing's bicycle instead.

Worried that she might get hungry, I also brought her a small cake so she could have something to eat on the way.

Jiang Zhixun assumed that Zhou Hansheng, now married, would continue his studies abroad.

I didn't expect to see him on the way.

A strange woman was with him, and she kept talking to Zhou Hansheng, trying to get close to him.

Zhou Hansheng remained indifferent, only nodding occasionally without saying much.

Jiang Zhixun realized that it must be Zhou Hansheng's newlywed wife.

The direction they came from was not far from the hospital.

In the past, if Zhou Hansheng had stayed in China, Jiang Zhixun would have felt a sense of urgency, fearing that Zhou Hansheng would poach his girlfriend.

That year, before he and Qingqing divorced, Zhou Hansheng revolved around her.

Even Comrade Shi Yu could see that Zhou Hansheng liked Qingqing.

Zhou Hansheng has a history of poaching employees.

Jiang Zhixun cannot afford to take this lightly.

Fortunately, Zhou Hansheng is married. As long as he still has morals, he will definitely not bother Qingqing anymore.

Jiang Zhixun had a lot of confidence in his wife; she didn't like being clingy with others.

But it can be quite annoying if someone keeps bothering her.

Zhou Hansheng went home after get off work.

Seeing Yu Wei come to pick him up, he felt immense pressure.

He couldn't give Yu Wei love, so he hoped they could treat each other with respect and live an ordinary life together.

But Yu Wei clearly didn't think that way.

Not content with meddling in his life, she also frequently visited the hospital, bringing food to the medical staff and deliberately trying to build a good relationship with them.

All of these things put Zhou Hansheng under immense pressure.

He just wanted to work peacefully and didn't want to deal with social obligations.

Yu Wei's behavior caused him a lot of trouble.

Zhou Hansheng recalled the time he and Shen Qingqing spent abroad.

Because he was busy with work, Shen Qingqing made many concessions for him in their daily life.

She never interferes in work-related matters.

She was very considerate and gave him plenty of personal space.

Zhou Hansheng knew he shouldn't compare the two women, but he couldn't help it.

If only he hadn't done something stupid.

Now Shen Qingqing is his Mrs. Zhou.

She will balance life and work well, unlike now, which leaves people physically and mentally exhausted.
