Chapter 6: Husband and wife become roommates



It was almost noon and Zhou Zhengting still hadn't returned.

Jiang Qingyue didn't plan to wait any longer and prepared to make lunch first.

The food aid from my mother’s family will not be delivered until the evening, so now I can only use Zhou Zhengting’s food to cook.

Jiang Qingyue took a look at the few things she had and decided to make a few steamed buns made of whole grains and stir-fry some shredded potatoes. If she wanted to drink, she would grab a handful of rice and cook some porridge.

While I was frying shredded potatoes, the man with a gloomy face suddenly came back with a large bundle of firewood behind him.

Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes and continued to cook.

From the corner of my eye I saw him pile the firewood neatly under the eaves and cover it with a snakeskin bag.

I can't help but feel sad. It seems that these men from the city are good at their work?

After Zhou Zhengting finished his work, he entered the house and found that Jiang Qingyue hadn't said a word, not even a glance at him.

I didn't know how to say what I had thought of.

After the shredded potatoes were fried and served, Jiang Qingyue took the initiative to greet him when she saw him come into the room.

After all, they will see each other every day in the future, so there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.

"You're back?"

"Well, I have something to tell you."

"you say."

"I agree to the one-year deadline you mentioned, but no matter what happens after one year, we must divorce. There is no room for negotiation."

"Okay, wash your hands and eat first, and then we'll write an agreement after dinner."

Seeing Zhou Zhengting agreed, Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s been less than a day since I traveled through time, and my mood has been up and down like a roller coaster. Now I can finally take a breath.

At least I can live in peace for a while and make other plans later.

Although Zhou Zhengting came from the city, he is at least a person of this era.

But I have to adapt completely from scratch.

But she won't complain about things that she can't change. She can only work hard, and things will get better and better.

As soon as Zhou Zhengting entered the house, he found that the house had undergone tremendous changes compared to before he left.

Cleanliness and tidiness are evident everywhere; even the ground is as clean as the concrete floor in the city.

There was a clean towel hanging next to the wash basin and a bar of soap next to it.

If it weren't for the "囍" character on the wall still in the distance, he would have really thought he had walked into the wrong house.

By the time he finished washing his hands, Jiang Qingyue had already brought the food to the table.

The steamed corn bread was soft and fluffy, the potato shreds were cut evenly, and even the plain white rice porridge smelled fragrant.

Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Qingyue thought he was reluctant to part with the food, so she explained, "My family can only deliver my food after dark, so these are made with your food first, and I will return them to you when my family delivers the food."

Zhou Zhengting pursed his lips and didn't explain further.

I reached out and took a steamed bun, took a bite, and it was just as soft and tender as I had imagined.

I clearly didn't want to eat the potatoes anymore, but I didn't expect that after she fried them, they turned out to be sour, spicy and delicious.

Zhou Zhengting ate five steamed buns in one breath, and when he saw that there were only two left on the plate, he stopped eating.

Then he picked up the porridge at hand and drank it all.

Jiang Qingyue was full after eating two steamed buns and drinking a bowl of rice porridge, so she pushed the remaining two steamed buns to his hand and said, "Eat them if you can. I'll make new ones tomorrow."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, Zhou Zhengting didn't refuse, but he was still surprised that she had such a small appetite.

It would have been fine if I had eaten little in the morning, but I didn’t expect that I would only eat so little at noon.

He suddenly felt confused. How could such a person be portrayed as a lazy and gluttonous person?

Thinking about drafting an agreement later, Jiang Qingyue spoke again, "Do you have paper and pen?"

Zhou Zhengting did not respond, but stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth, then wiped his hands and opened the cabinet on his side.

Jiang Qingyue had no interest in snooping into other people's things, so she took the opportunity while he was getting his things to clean up the dishes and take them to the kitchen.

Then he returned, "I'll write it first, and show it to you when I'm done. If it doesn't work, I'll revise it."

After being persuaded by the other party, Zhou Zhengting was worried that Jiang Qingyue would do something tricky with the agreement.

But when I think about it carefully, she is at most a junior high school graduate, while I have graduated from high school.

She couldn't let herself down on this.

So I let her write with confidence.

Jiang Qingyue took the letter, sat back at the low table that had just been wiped clean, and wrote the agreement.

1. Both parties promise to complete the divorce procedures within one year and shall not delay or regret for any reason.

Second, during this period, the two parties remain husband and wife to the outside world, and internally promise not to interfere with each other's private life and not to force the other party to do anything they are unwilling to do.

3. In order to live in harmony, the two parties negotiated and distributed the household chores as follows: Jiang Qingyue was responsible for cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning; Zhou Zhengting was responsible for making fire, fetching water, and chopping wood. They each washed their own clothes, and did not occupy each other's valuables such as food, money, and tickets.

Taking into consideration the original owner's status as a junior high school graduate, Jiang Qingyue deliberately wrote the agreement in a simple and clear manner.

After finishing it, he handed it to Zhou Zhengting directly, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Zhou Zhengting was watching intently when he suddenly saw her reaching out her hand. He was unable to react for a moment.

Just now when she lowered her head to write, she exuded a kind of tranquility and gentleness that came from a peaceful life.

Not to mention Jiang Qingyue, a country girl, even in Beijing before, he had never seen a girl with such temperament.

So I couldn't help but take a few more glances just now.

"Zhou Zhengting?"

"Ahem, let me take a look." Zhou Zhengting immediately took the agreement and read it carefully.

In just three lines, it is clear and easy to understand.

There's nothing fishy about it.

It seemed that his previous thoughts were a bit dirty.

"no problem."

"Then I'll copy it again and we'll sign two copies."

Zhou Zhengting pursed his lips, not understanding why she would go to so much trouble to leave a copy for him.

Is it possible that he will regret it? !

After the other copy is completed, the two people will sign their names and time in turn, one copy each, and it will be considered finished.

Zhou Zhengting still felt dizzy after receiving the hot letter of guarantee.

Not sure where the mistake is?

How could I get her divorce guarantee so easily? It was already signed in black and white. Could it be that she was playing a trick on me again?

There's no way to get a divorce now anyway, so an extra layer of protection is better than no protection at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengting carefully folded the agreement, opened the cabinet, and put away the agreement and the marriage certificate together.

When the time comes for divorce, both of them will be useful.

After putting away the agreement, Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. At least she had bought herself a year.

However, living in the same house with a person of the opposite sex for a year is not that easy.

The space is limited, and now the two of them need to discuss how to divide the territory.

"Zhou Zhengting, to be fair, we will each take half of this kang cabinet, and the kang as well."
