Chapter 554: Recall
Getting married is so tiring, dealing with interpersonal relationships is so tiring. Qiao Yunxue has been used to being willful since she was a child, and she really doesn't want to live cautiously every day.
What Lu Ye said was not wrong. Even if her marriage partner was not Fu Shanzhan but an ordinary person, she would still encounter these things. Married life is made up of trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. No couple can still talk about love passionately after being married for several years.
When everyone is madly in love, they all think they will be the exception, but the reality is like a swamp and no one can escape.
Qiao Yunxue really had the idea of divorce today, but she was also very clear that this was not something that could be decided impulsively.
Marriage is a product of impulse, and divorce should be carefully considered.
What's more, she is still pregnant and can't leave even if she wants to.
——
For the next period of time, Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan continued to live in such a lukewarm relationship.
Although the written test was over, Qiao Yunxue did not spend less time in the study every day, and her communication with Fu Shanzhan was as poor as when she was preparing for the test. Even the aunt at home noticed that something was wrong between them.
Fu Shanzhan also tried to repair it, but to no avail.
Qiao Yunxue didn't argue with him and was very peaceful, but it seemed that she had no feelings for him anymore. This was absolutely unacceptable to Fu Shanzhan, but when he went to question her, Qiao Yunxue would only reply to him, "I don't want to argue with you."
That’s right, they are not quarreling now, but Fu Shanzhan feels worse than before the quarrel.
After more than a month of lukewarm weather, the Spring Festival was approaching. This was also the first New Year that Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan spent at the Fu family after their marriage.
But Qiao Yunxue didn't have any expectations. She even thought about finding a random excuse to make it up, but it wouldn't work.
She didn't like the old Fu family house. The deep courtyard made her feel suffocated, and the communication with Fu Qingyun was even more suffocating. She became more and more aware that it was not her world at all.
But there is always a distance between imagination and reality. Even if she doesn't want to go, as the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Fu family, she still has to go back to celebrate the New Year.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Fu Shanzhan officially had his day off, and this was also the day Qiao Yunxue went back to the old house with him.
When Qiao Yunxue got up in the morning to pack her luggage, Fu Shanzhan took the initiative to walk to the wardrobe to help her pass her things. He specially selected two sets of pure cotton pajamas and said, "Take these. They are comfortable to wear at night."
Qiao Yunxue took it and casually asked him, "How many days do we need to stay?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I don't know yet, but it shouldn't be too soon. Some relatives are coming over on the third day of the Chinese New Year. There are a few elders you haven't met yet, so you'll have to recognize their faces then."
Qiao Yunxue said "Oh" and silently calculated the days. It was about a week.
The thought of living in the Fu family's old house for such a long time gave her a headache - she had not returned to the Fu family's old house since Ji Qingyuan's birthday, but Ji Qingyuan had come to see her several times.
Because she was pregnant, Fu Qingyun did not show any dissatisfaction even though she did not go out.
"I know you don't want to go back to the old house, but it's not good not to go back in the first year of your marriage." Fu Shanzhan patted Qiao Yunxue's shoulder, "We won't go back next year. We will take the children to your parents' place then."
Qiao Yunxue replied weakly, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
"If Dad says anything, don't pay attention to him." Fu Shanzhan warned, "I've already told Mom, she'll give Dad a heads up first."
Qiao Yunxue shook her head, "No need."
——
After having breakfast in the bridal chamber, Fu Shanzhan took Qiao Yunxue back to the old house. The Fu family attached great importance to this kind of reunion festival. The yard was decorated with a festive atmosphere, and lanterns were hung on the trees, making it look much warmer than usual.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the family is fully staffed. Even Fu Xijing, who went to Italy in the second half of the year, has returned, which is enough to prove how much the Fu family values "family reunion".
When Fu Shanzhan and Qiao Yunxue came back, the whole family was sitting in the living room watching TV, and the atmosphere was very lively.
As soon as the two came in, Fu Xiao, who was eating melon seeds, ran over immediately and stared at Qiao Yunxue's belly: "Second Aunt, is my little sister coming out soon?"
Fu Xiao was a very clever child. Qiao Yunxue had always liked him. She smiled naturally when she spoke to him: "A few months more."
Fu Xiao: "Hehe, that's great. I'm so envious of my classmates who have sisters."
Qiao Yunxue: "It could also be my younger brother."
Fu Xiao immediately revealed a disgusted expression: "Ah? A brother like me? That's too annoying."
Fu Shanzhan was amused and patted him on the forehead, "You know you're annoying, kid."
Thanks to Fu Xiao's little interlude that livened up the atmosphere, the living room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was very good.
After Ji Qingyuan finished laughing, he extended his hand to call out to Qiao Yunxue: "Xiaoxue, please sit down quickly. Don't get tired."
Fu Shanzhan helped Qiao Yunxue to the sofa and put a pillow behind her. When Yuan Xi saw this, he smiled and praised: "The third brother is becoming more and more attentive to his wife. People really become more mature after getting married."
Fu Shanzhan: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind."
After praising Fu Shanzhan, Yuan Xi asked about Qiao Yunxue's prenatal checkup. As they chatted, they talked about her postgraduate entrance examination.
Qiao Yunxue's due date is in March, and the postgraduate entrance examination re-examination will also be held at this time.
Yuan Xi: "Xiaoxue, which school did you apply to? Has the date for the retest been set?"
Qiao Yunxue: "The retest will be in April, and I'll have given birth by then."
Yuan Xi showed an expression of admiration, "Xiaoxue, you are really amazing."
Studying while pregnant and getting admitted to T University is not something that most people can do.
Qiao Yunxue felt embarrassed by the compliment, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"What major are you studying?" Fu Xijing, who has never cared much about these things, asked casually.
Qiao Yunxue: "World Historical Art Studies."
Fu Xijing gave a thumbs up. Most people don’t have the patience to study this major.
"Have you found a tutor?" At this time, Fu Qingyun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Qiao Yunxue was still nervous when she heard his voice, but Fu Qingyun's tone was quite easygoing and there was no stern expression on his face. She adjusted her thoughts and nodded, "Found it."
Fu Qingyun: "If you need help from home later, just ask."
Qiao Yunxue: "Okay, thank you, Dad."
Fu Qingyun: "Don't work too hard during this period, and take care of your health."
Qiao Yunxue continued to nod.
Fu Qingyun didn't say much, and the conversation ended amicably. Qiao Yunxue also breathed a sigh of relief.
…
It was Qiao Yunxue's first time to celebrate the New Year in the Fu family's old house, and she was not used to it, especially when the family sat together for dinner on New Year's Eve. She couldn't help but think of Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan. In the past, the three of them always ate together as a family.
Perhaps it was because of the hormones, Qiao Yunxue blamed herself and her eyes were a little wet, but she couldn't cry and spoil the fun, so she didn't say much during the meal.
Shortly after dinner, Qiao Yunxue returned to her room and stayed alone.
