First update
Life after marriage didn't change much. Qin Yao and Gu Cheng stayed until after the New Year and went back to prepare for the New Year. The atmosphere of the festival was strong. In addition to preparing New Year decorations with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Qin Yao just stayed on the sofa in the corner of the second floor, reading novels and being a lazy stay-at-home.
After arriving at the compound, Qin Yao discovered that there was a library with a large collection of novels. Some of them were banned in the past few years, but were released gradually in the past two years, such as the Four Great Classics, and various cultural novels newly created in recent years, such as the Island Female Militia.
Qin Yao majored in Chinese and used to be an editor. She loves reading novels. There were not many books on the island before, but now she is immersed in piles of books and is as happy as a goddess.
So her daily life became: curling up on the sofa to read novels, helping in the kitchen, cleaning the room...
Gu Chengze was playing war games with others in the hall. He himself was a military commander and also a war game design enthusiast.
Several men were discussing heatedly.
Qin Yao didn't want to get involved in his affairs. She wouldn't understand anything anyway, and she couldn't tell the difference between the various model codes. It would be better for her to just concentrate on reading her novel. During the day, the couple only exchanged a few simple words, each minding their own business and not communicating much.
When we lock the door and stay in the small room at night, it will be another shameless night. We will hug and kiss each other for at least an hour or two.
She and Gu Cheng both felt that this way of getting along at home was very comfortable. They had their own tacit understanding, occasionally scratching each other's palms, exchanging glances, and having some secret interactions.
The couple lived a "happy and contented" life, but in the eyes of others, it seemed a little strange.
The first ones to feel worried were Gu Cheng's sister-in-law and An. He An and Gu Cheng's eldest brother got married through a blind date introduced by an organization. After marriage, the couple respected each other and had a harmonious relationship with their parents-in-law. It can be said that their marriage was envied by everyone.
But deep down in He An's heart, she felt a deep sense of boredom and fatigue. She had a marriage that everyone envied and praised, a husband with excellent conditions, and an understanding mother-in-law. Her daily life was going smoothly, but she could not find the meaning of life and felt that it was too dull and boring.
But she couldn't tell these things to her friends, because her friends would only say that she was complaining and that everything was going smoothly for her.
It was not until the arrival of her daughter Miaomiao that her peaceful life became more colorful. However, Miaomiao did not like to stick to her mother. She liked to stay with her great-grandfather and other elders and listen to their stories about the past.
But her own husband was too busy. When she first got married, she was full of girlish thoughts and thought that her future husband was excellent and strong, and she would be very happy to marry him.
But life after marriage was dull and boring. Her husband treated her well and the family was harmonious, but there was a lack of closeness. Although she was very close to this person, it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier between them.
I saw my younger brother Gu Cheng and his wife getting married these few days, and found that they were "exactly the same". Are the men in the Gu family born like this?
Unlike one of her female friends, who married an ordinary man, the couple's relationship is enviable. People often hear about where they went to play, how many photos they took, and how they even celebrated their wedding anniversary!
As for the man Gu Xing, he was lucky enough to remember her and her daughter's birthdays. Last year, he said he was going to celebrate her birthday with her, but he suddenly had to leave during the day for something. He and An made egg cake by hand, and when he came back in the evening, apart from a hypocritical "Happy Birthday", the egg cake was too sweet for him to eat.
He An felt depressed, but he didn't have the face to quarrel over such trivial matters. He only felt a sense of powerlessness in life.
Is this seemingly perfect marriage really what she wants? Why wasn't she as happy as she had imagined?
Gu and An had kept all these things in their hearts. Now they met the newlyweds Gu Cheng and Qin Yao. They were just so respectful to each other during the day and didn't communicate much.
The sister-in-law and An couldn't help but empathize with others and feel the same way.
Others also whispered that Qin Yao was marrying above her station. From He An's point of view, anyone who wanted to marry a man like this could do so!
He An couldn't hold it in any longer, so she ran to her mother-in-law Liu Shuqin and whispered, "My younger brother and his wife just got married, shouldn't he spend more time with them? I've seen them reading alone these past two days."
Liu Shuqin nodded: "You are right, I will go and talk to him."
Liu Shuqin found her youngest son among the crowd of men and called Gu Cheng aside. Gu Cheng was wearing an old military uniform and had a cold look on his face. He had just been standing beside the sand table, looking like he was in control of a situation. If you knew him, you would think he was her newlywed husband, while if you didn't know him, you would think he was some powerful figure on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms.
Gu Cheng said: "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Liu Shuqin said unhappily, "Your sister-in-law can't stand it anymore. You've only been married for a few days, and you don't know how to spend more time with Yaoyao. Your sister-in-law sees her reading alone every day, and she doesn't dare to bother you. Can't you take the initiative to care about her?"
"You are not young anymore, you are already thirty. Yaoyao is ten years younger than you, it is the time of youth to have fun. Don't keep her bored, take her out for a walk more often."
"Your mother-in-law has entrusted such a beautiful daughter to you, so don't be ungrateful."
Liu Shuqin scolded Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "I understand."
He turned around and followed Liu Shuqin's instructions, climbing up to the second floor to look for Qin Yao. Sure enough, he saw the woman curled up on the sofa in the corner. She was wearing a new cotton coat. Although she was married, her hair was combed into fluffy twin ponytails, and her exposed ears were pointed, like an elf in a fairy tale.
She was reading a book with her head down in the sunlight. The scene was quiet and beautiful.
Noticing someone coming, she took a look and saw that it was him, then lowered her head and continued reading her novel with peace of mind.
Gu Cheng walked over and tried to take Qin Yao's book, but was hugged by Qin Yao. Qin Yao pushed his chest and whispered, "Don't make noise, don't make noise, we are just reading the key point."
Qin Yao has a habit. If she can't finish reading the key plot of a book, she will feel very uncomfortable.
Gu Cheng said softly: "Take you out to play."
"Wait a minute...how about tomorrow? Let me finish reading this first." Qin Yao felt very annoyed. She wanted to concentrate on finishing the book in her hand. Being interrupted in the middle of the book was very disappointing. The suspense was about to be revealed!
Novels at that time were different from later online novels. They often focused on the design of "suspense". A book would set up a big suspense, with one plot twist after another and a series of reversals, which made people applaud. Although it was not a refreshing novel, it was very appetizing.
She finally found a good novel.
Gu Cheng hugged Qin Yao in his arms and reached out to grab her book. Qin Yao became anxious and asked why she was being unreasonable! She was so angry that her eyebrows were burning with anger, but she remembered that she was at her husband's house. What else could she do if her husband, who was usually a good person, suddenly became crazy? She had to comfort him first.
Qin Yao suppressed her anger, hugged his neck, took the initiative to kiss his lips, and said coquettishly: "Hubby, please, let me finish reading it."
In order to finish reading the novel, Comrade Qin Yao was able to bend and stretch.
Gu Cheng had a blank expression and cold eyes.
Qin Yao tugged at his sleeve, put her two fists together, and made a gesture like a little squirrel clenching its paws to beg for mercy, "Please."
Gu Cheng returned the book to her and sat beside her sulking.
Seeing this, Qin Yao leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Can I listen to you tonight?"
Comrade Xiao Qin threw the carrot and the production team's donkey immediately took the bait. Gu Cheng's mouth corners raised subconsciously, and then Captain Gu tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth. Is he so easy to please?
Yes, he is so easy to please!
Gu Cheng turned his head, hugged Qin Yao's waist, lowered his head and kissed her lips. After biting her lips hard, he let her go, touched her head, and said contentedly: "Keep watching."
"Remember to stand up and look out the window after watching for a while, so as not to damage your eyes."
Qin Yao nodded and gave him a bright smile.
Gu Cheng also laughed.
Gu Cheng straightened his clothes, thought of the beautiful scenery at night, and walked downstairs in a happy mood. When he walked into the hall, he saw Liu Shuqin.
The mother and son looked at each other.
Gu Cheng's face turned cold. He looked indifferent and without saying a word, he walked back to the crowd over there and continued talking loudly beside the sand table.
——He couldn’t let his mother know that he was sent away by his wife with just a few words.
Have some shame.
Seeing his impassive look, Liu Shuqin became furious. She ran upstairs and found Qin Yao still reading a book on the sofa by the window. She immediately felt pity for her.
Qin Yao noticed that Liu Shuqin had arrived and was interrupted twice in a row, which ruined her mood. She couldn't continue reading the book.
She closed the book and sat there obediently.
Liu Shuqin sat down next to her, took her hand, and said softly, "Is it boring to be alone? Xiao Cheng is such a jerk. I will teach him a lesson next time."
Qin Yao: “…” No, she didn’t.
"Mom, I'm fine reading here."
Liu Shuqin frowned: "Don't speak for him. He married such a good wife like you, but he doesn't know how to spend more time with you."
Qin Yao stopped talking. She felt that anything she said at this moment would only add fuel to the fire.
Liu Shuqin wanted to say something else but accidentally saw her daughter-in-law's lips. If she was not mistaken, they seemed a little swollen.
Liu Shuqin raised her eyebrows: "..."
Qin Yao noticed Liu Shuqin's gaze and thought of what happened before. She subconsciously covered her lips. Did it leave a mark?
Liu Shuqin said coldly: "It's still in my ear."
Is there any more in your ears?
Qin Yao subconsciously covered her ears. Seeing this, Liu Shuqin immediately laughed out loud. Are these two from the underground party?
Hearing her mother-in-law's laughter, Qin Yao held the book in her arms with lingering fear. She was ready to give up this place and never come here to read again.
"Yaoyao, what did Xiaocheng say to you just now?"
Qin Yao: "He said he wanted to take me out to play, but I said I would finish reading the book first and go tomorrow, and that was it."
"...Oh." Liu Shuqin responded thoughtfully. She raised her son, so how could she not know his personality? Is he the kind of person who will wait until tomorrow for tomorrow?
Obviously not.
If he were so easy to talk to, her name Liu would be written backwards.
Could it be that my son was kicked out by his own wife?
Liu Shuqin pursed her lips and felt like laughing.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and husbands and wives have their own ways of getting along with each other. She put Qin Yao's hand back and patted the back of her hand. "If you really have any grievances in the future, tell mom, don't swallow it in your stomach."
Qin Yao nodded. Liu Shuqin's gentle and loving gaze made her feel ashamed. She lived a very comfortable life and did not feel wronged at all.
So Qin Yao whispered, "What if he is wronged?"
Liu Shuqin: “…”
This daughter-in-law really has some skills. Maybe the eldest daughter-in-law should learn from her.
"Then let him bear the grievance. As a man, you should bear more burdens on your shoulders."
Comrade Xiao Qin shed crocodile tears of sympathy.
