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

Chapter 326 The Glorious Mission

Shen Qingqing was driving, and Jiang Zhixun was sitting in the passenger seat. It was a strange feeling.

Watching her skillfully steer the car smoothly, Jiang Zhixun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Qingqing didn't look at him directly. "What are you laughing at?"

"Yeah, Dad, what are you laughing at?" The two little ones behind him looked at Jiang Zhixun curiously.

"Are children really that curious?"

Xiaoman: "It's because children are so curious. You adults have seen everything, so you don't find anything strange anymore."

Shen Qingqing thought this made a lot of sense.

"It's a good thing that children are curious."

Jiang Zhixun: "They're just too curious, that's why they ask so many questions every day."

Xiao Xi: "So, Dad, what are you laughing at?"

She's still agonizing over this question and won't give up until she gets an answer.

Jiang Zhixun couldn't help but laugh.

My daughter is a lot like Qingqing in this respect; she doesn't live life in a muddle and wants to understand everything clearly.

"Dad was thinking about the past. Back then, Mom couldn't drive, and Dad had to pick her up and drop her off wherever she went. Now, she can drive herself all by herself. It's a bit of a感慨 (feeling of nostalgia/reflection)."

Shen Qingqing corrected, "The way you say that makes people think you're my personal driver. You only drive me around when I'm on vacation. I can count on my fingers how many times you've picked me up and dropped me off throughout the year."

Xiao Xi: "Dad exaggerates! That's not good."

Jiang Zhixun clicked his tongue, "This little girl is quick-witted; she can chime in with several sentences after every one that someone says."

Xiao Xi proudly raised her chin, "Grandma said that I'm an extrovert, not a piglet who can't be pulled out of the pen!"

Shen Qingqing was amused.

Jiang Zhixun couldn't help but smile. "No wonder he likes parrots. They chatter all day long. He's found his kind."

"Dad, do you think I talk too much?"

Jiang Zhixun couldn't bear to dislike his own child, who was born to Shen Qingqing!

He countered with, "If I thought you talked too much, would you change?"

Xiao Xi shook her head. "If you don't like me, that's fine. As long as my great-grandfather, grandpa, grandma, and mom don't mind me, you can stay away from me in the future. That way, no one will bother you."

Jiang Zhixun smiled, pursing his lips, and coughed lightly, "You're quite open-minded."

"Of course! Grandma says I'm a little sun! A source of joy!"

Jiang Zhixun deeply agrees.

Although the child's speech was childish, he felt particularly happy listening to the child's chatter.

This is their family's pistachio!

Shen Qingqing listened to their conversation, occasionally chiming in, and they arrived at the flower and bird market without incident.

After searching for a long time, I finally found one that looks just like the one I have at home.

Xiao Xi asked Xiao Man, "That one at home is mine, this one is for you, you have to like it yourself."

Xiaoman is not picky, "I like them all."

Xiao Xi: "You're really something, you don't have any preferences, and you have no opinions of your own."

Xiaoman couldn't argue with her.

Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun have already experienced how quick-witted their daughter is.

At the age of three, he could use many idioms, which was much more mature than his peers, but it still seemed strange.

How is this any different from what an adult would say?
Without getting involved in the siblings' conversation, and after confirming that Xiaoman liked the blue parrot, Shen Qingqing decisively paid for it.

Knowing that the old man likes flowers and plants, and that they rarely come to visit, and even drove there, we simply bought him a few potted plants.

Jiang Zhixun asked, "Should we buy two more potted plants to put in the school's house?"

"No need for now. Let the old man nurse it for a while. If it survives, I'll bring another one to the school."

This is what we've been doing for the past few years.

The old man was happy, and Shen Qingqing liked it too.

Sometimes when I go out with friends, I see some nice green plants and bring them back for my grandfather. Now the Jiang family's courtyard is very well maintained, with many green plants, clusters of flowers, and even a grape trellis.

Every year when the grapes ripen, there are more grapes than you can eat. They are sweet and sour, and everyone loves to eat them.

Jiang Zhixun now also enjoys growing flowers, and said to Shen Qingqing, "I'll grow them for you."

"what ever."

As if he had received a glorious mission, Jiang Zhixun went to take care of the newly bought flowers as soon as he got home.

They were busy pruning and repotting, keeping themselves very busy.

As for Xiaoman and Xiaoxi, they had already taken their Xiaojiang and Xiaoqing out to show off to their friends.

The compound is safe; they can't leave the gate on their own, so Shen Qingqing is at ease.

After washing my hands, I stayed in the kitchen and cooked with Jiang's mother.

"Comrade Shi just called you."

"What did you say?"

"She said she's coming to Beijing in a few days to discuss business and asked if you're free so we can have a meal together."

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "She also invited me, Xiaoman, and Xiaoxi, saying she wanted to take the children out to meet them."

Shiyu's business is growing bigger and bigger, and he's making a lot of money.

Jiang's mother admired all the capable women.

Shi Yu was also very good at getting things done, and would send them specialties from Northwest China during holidays.

Sometimes when she goes to other places to investigate the market, if she sees something delicious or useful, she will bring it back for them.

People who know how to get along with others easily gain their favor.

Jiang's mother already had a good impression of Shi Yu, and now she admired him even more.

"Back then, I felt it was a pity that she didn't pursue a career in translation. I even whispered to your dad that she got married too early and was tied down by her husband and children. But I never expected that she would go into business and become so successful. It really shows that every profession can produce an expert."

Shen Qingqing also thought Shi Yu was amazing, "No matter what time it is, she can always make herself live a good life."

"That's right. Comrade Shi is very clear-headed and has always known what he wants."

She only met Comrade Chen once before bravely marrying and going to the Northwest. This courage is unmatched by most people.

They chatted casually while cooking.

In addition to the cake for the two little ones, Jiang's mother also steamed flower rolls.

It smells amazing right out of the pan.

Before the dish was fully cooked, Jiang's mother told Shen Qingqing to eat some steamed buns first, "to taste the saltiness."

Shen Qingqing laughed and said, "I'm not a child who needs to be fed."

"Not even children can eat it."

Jiang's mother always did this. To prevent Xiaoman and Xiaoxi from getting hurt, whenever the two little ones entered the kitchen, she would quickly stuff them with some food and send them away.

Now that the steamed buns are ready, I want to give some to Shen Qingqing, since she loves noodles.

Shen Qingqing glanced at her watch. "I'll go find them first."

Jiang's mother: "Okay, we can eat as soon as we get back."

Shen Qingqing hadn't gone far when she saw her two little ones following Qin Cheng around happily.

Xiao Xi carried the birdcage in one hand and held Qin Cheng's hand with the other. "Walk slowly, or Xiao Qing will get dizzy."

Qin Cheng: "I'm going home."

Xiao Xi: "Why are you going home? Come to my house for dinner, my brother and I will play with you."

Qin Cheng: "I need to do my homework."

Xiao Xi frowned; she and her brother couldn't help her with her homework...

Just as Shen Qingqing was about to call for help, she heard a man's sour voice behind her, "So clingy, I wonder who she took after?"

Looking back, I saw that Jiang Zhixun had also left the house at some point.

Shen Qingqing gave a half-smile, "Besides you, who else could she take after?"
