Chapter 001: The Three-Year Itch

Next Chapter

Perhaps because of the legendary three-year itch, the relationship between Zhang Qing and her husband Qin Yuanqi has been very tense in the recent stage, and they can often quarrel with a few words, and even once quarreled directly in front of the child, scaring the child into crying. Zhang Qing herself has suffered from her parents' quarrels, so she once made up her mind that no matter what, she couldn't quarrel in front of her children, but that time it was out of control.

If it is said that it is because of some very serious problems and quarrels, it doesn't matter, but every time it is some inconsequential little things, but the two people seem to have less tolerance and patience with each other, and they will not give in an inch if they say something wrong.

Xu felt the recent dark clouds at home, and on this day, Qin Yuanqi offered to accompany Zhang Qing to buy clothes. It was the time of the change of seasons, Zhang Qing had said several times before that he wanted Qin Yuanqi to accompany him to buy clothes, but Qin Yuanqi was busy with this and that and delayed. It's rare that he has the heart this time, and Zhang Qing also has the heart to improve the relationship between the two, so he happily agreed.

However, after going, Zhang Qing regretted it, and after shopping for less than an hour, Qin Yuan was looking down at his mobile phone and chatting on WeChat, and occasionally Zhang Qing asked him for his opinion, and he also said perfunctorily whether it looked good or not. Zhang Qing was stabbed by his neglectful attitude, endured and endured, and finally spoke at the end: "Who are you talking to about WeChat?"

"I didn't talk about it. Qin Yuanqi put away his phone.

Zhang Qing was angry, after chatting for so long, am I blind? Sui's tone became bad: "If you don't talk, why do you keep looking at your phone?"

"The mobile phone signal is not good," Qin Yuanqi said with a hint of impatience on his face, "I'm just looking to see if my phone can connect to the Internet." ”

"If you don't talk about WeChat, see if you can connect to the Internet!"

Zhang Qing was really angry with Qin Yuanqi's ability to open his eyes and say nonsense, and the impatience on the other party's face was even more stinging in her heart, how could she still have a trace of the mood to buy clothes? Restraining herself from having a seizure on the spot, Zhang Qing turned her head and walked out of the mall.

Qin Yuanqi caught up with Zhang Qing in the parking lot: "What's wrong with you?

"Do you think I'm still in the mood to buy it?

"What's wrong with me?

As for it? Zhang Qing also asked herself. It's always like this, arguing over something seemingly insignificant, but Zhang Qing understands in her heart that what she cares more about is Qin Yuanqi's attitude towards herself, that he can respect himself, love himself, and put himself in an important position in his heart, rather than being like now, either not accompanying himself, or perfunctory.

Zhang Qing once thought that she was married to love, but it turned out that love did not have the tenderness and sweetness that she imagined at the beginning, and she had lost the coat of love, and what remained was the sword and sword shadow in firewood, rice, oil and salt. The husband who used to take care of and spoil him has changed, which makes Zhang Qing very aggrieved and unwilling to accept it. Especially after having children, life seems to have become unrecognizable all of a sudden, and at this time, her husband's inconsiderate and-for-tat directly ignited Zhang Qing's little temper, and she filed for divorce in several quarrels.

"You can't do this," her best friend Lan Yan persuaded her, "You still have to talk to him well, let him know your thoughts and feelings, two people will inevitably bump and bump into each other in life, always quarreling is too hurtful, and it's not good for children, you don't want children to live in such an environment, right?"

Lan Yan knew the hurt in her heart. Zhang Qing has lived in a tense atmosphere caused by her parents' frequent quarrels since she was a child, and the little child is full of fear and helplessness in the face of her parents' war. Therefore, Zhang Qing studied hard, was admitted to a university in another place, and stayed in the city to work and live, not because she wanted to get out of that environment.

"And you always mention divorce, it doesn't do any good to solve the matter, it will only make people feel cold, and you can't really get divorced, think about Xiaobao, he's still so young. Lan Yan made a final summary, "So, let's communicate with Qin Yuanqi and find a good solution." ”

Zhang Qing smiled bitterly. She understands the truth, but when she stays out of it, anyone can say the truth, and once she is in it, there are a few people who can really be unemotional. She is tired of her parents quarreling, but now she has encountered a problem and tries to solve it by quarreling, which is the imprint left on her by her original family. Thinking about how she felt when she faced the quarrel with her parents when she was a child, could she bear to let her son suffer too?

She used to be very dissatisfied with her parents' behavior of arguing at every turn, is there anything she can't say well, she has to make a big noise, and she doesn't take into account the feelings of the other party, let alone the feelings of the child. A profound picture in my memory is that after the parents finished arguing, my father was smoking a cigarette on the side, while my mother was crying, and even picked up a knife and shouted "no longer alive", which frightened her and her younger brother at a loss and cried. Although almost 20 years have passed, Zhang Qing still seems to be able to feel the helplessness and fear at that time when she thinks of that scene again. At that time, her parents, who didn't know when they would break out, cast a dark cloud in Zhang Qing's heart, making her sensitive and uneasy, and she seemed to be insecure from time to time, so that until now, this kind of character has seriously affected her, and the way her parents solve problems has also left a mark on her.

Looking at her son's lovely sleeping face, Zhang Qing's heart was filled with tenderness, let her son experience those helplessness and fear again? Let his character be affected as badly as her? At that time, her parents may not have known how much damage their unscrupulous quarrels caused to their children, but she has deeply experienced it, as a mother, how can she bear to let her children experience such pain?

Absolutely not! Zhang Qing made up her mind again. If you are a mother, you can be strong, or you can be a mother, Zhang Qing knows that she has a straight temperament and a quick temper, and she often ignores her temper, which is actually with her father, but for Xiaobao, she should really suppress her temper in a timely manner.

After admonishing herself like this, Zhang Qing really softened her temper when she got along with Qin Yuanqi again, even if there were still occasional unsatisfactory times, she forced herself to shift her attention to Xiaobao, and when she saw the child, she had no anger. Fortunately, Qin Yuanqi is also a gentle-tempered man most of the time, and when Zhang Qing no longer cares about his contempt, the two can get along very well.

It's just that this kind of harmony may just be what Qin Yuanqi is looking forward to, and his wife no longer loses her temper because of some things he thinks is trivial, so he is not willing to delve into the reasons behind it. Only Zhang Qing will occasionally accidentally recall when they were in love after her son fell asleep at night.

Qin Yuanqi fell in love with Zhang Qing at first sight, Zhang Qing has been beautiful since she was a child, with a pair of big eyes with aura, flickering as if she could speak, her nose is actually not high, but because those eyes are too brilliant, people can't notice the slight defects on her nose. The two were admitted to the same work unit in the same year, and in a meeting, the leader asked Zhang Qing to speak, and Qin Yuanqi fell in love with Zhang Qing at a glance at that time, and then launched a pursuit.

Qin Yuanqi used some old-fashioned tricks to chase girls, but in fact, it didn't make Zhang Qing treat him differently, at that time, there was not only Qin Yuanqi who pursued Zhang Qing, Qin Yuanqi's conditions in all aspects were not the best, but what really moved Zhang Qing was Qin Yuanqi's considerate care and doting on her like a daughter, and at the same time, Qin Yuanqi was still a person who seemed to have a gentle personality. Zhang Qing, who had seen the endless quarrels of her grumpy parents, attached great importance to this point, so when Qin Yuanqi confessed to Zhang Qing for the second time, Zhang Qing agreed.

The days of love are sweet, and Qin Yuanqi put Zhang Qing in the palm of his hand like a pampered favor that once envied the sisters. After two years of love, Zhang Qing did not greedily think that this sweetness would continue after marriage, but she never expected this gap to be so big, especially after Xiaobao was born, Zhang Qing endured labor pain, breastfeeding pain, staying up late and other sadness, but she couldn't get Qin Yuanqi's strong support, and all she got was a few words: "It's hard." ”

It's not that I haven't complained and quarreled about this, but in exchange for only incomprehensible eyes and words: "I know you're tired of taking care of your children, but don't I have to go to work, what else do you want me to do?"

What else? What could she do? She just wanted more care and consideration from her husband. But when the other party was stingy with giving, she Zhang Qing didn't bother to make a pleading gesture!

No wonder a friend once said that a man who is very good to you when he is in love is a good man if he can maintain five points after marriage.

Lan Yan said: "Everything in the world has a shelf life, and after a long time, you think this person has changed, but in fact, it is not that it has changed, but the mask has fallen off." ”

Hehe, Zhang Qing pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, touching her son's little hand, a feeling of happiness as a mother arose, Zhang Qing enjoyed the two-person world with her son, as for Qin Yuanqi, after Xiaobao was born, he moved to another room to sleep.

For some reason, Zhang Qing couldn't sleep tonight, and the bits and pieces since she met Qin Yuanqi were uncontrollably replayed in her mind, the ups and downs, the taste, only she tasted it herself. "Forget it, don't think about it, you have to go to work tomorrow. Zhang Qing thought like this, and her eyelids finally sank.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhang Qing suddenly felt a chill on her body, "Suffer, shouldn't I oversleep and be late for work!" Before she fully woke up, this thought flashed in Zhang Qing's mind, and under the nervousness, her arm suddenly stretched out and wanted to sit up.
