Married to a Disabled Man in the 70s - Chapter 125
It was March of the following year when they settled down in Beijing.
Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan insisted on buying a house, but it was hard to find a suitable place for them. The houses were either too small or too big. The one they finally settled down on was also more expensive than expected.
So the money they had left was less than 2000 dollars.
As the head of the family, Song Huaijin still had a stable salary since he transferred to the capital. Still, they couldn’t spend as much money as before. Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan spent a lot of money to go to university, but Song Tianning’s living standards couldn’t drop.
So Ji Ya also found a job.
Song Tianning was sent to kindergarten when he was just over three years old.
One day, Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan picked up their son on the way back home from school.
Song Tianning happily ran out from the kindergarten. He raised his head and asked earnestly, “Mom, we haven’t seen each other in a long time! I miss you very much!”
Su Jiaojiao smiled and hugged her son in her arms, and answered him, “No, we saw each other in the morning. Mom and Dad sent you to kindergarten!”
Song Tianning shook his head and said in a milky voice, “You should say, ‘Why are you asking this?'”
Su Jiaojiao couldn’t help laughing and cooperated, “Why are you asking this?”
Song Tianning held his heart and said loudly, “Even though we haven’t seen each other for a day, it’s been several autumns! That’s why I miss you so much!” [1]
Su Jiaojiao laughed and leaned on Song Qinghan, “Hahaha, son, you’re awesome!”
She didn’t expect to hear this pick-up line, she was very satisfied.
Song Tianning smiled and hugged her back. Seeing her smile like this, he couldn’t be happier, “I missed you so much~”
Song Qinghan, who was supporting Su Jiaojiao, looked down at the happy pair of mother and son in his arms. His thin lips were pursed, a little aggrieved.
Jiaojiao rarely smiled so cheerfully in front of him.
But soon, Song Qinghan thought of something, so Jiaojiao likes this?
*****
Su Jiaojiao didn’t know what Song Qinghan was thinking at this time. She was immersed in her son’s sweet words. When she became a mother, her heart had softened a lot. Facing her son’s childish words, she not only did not feel speechless but her heart was full of joy.
So on the way back, the mother and son held hands affectionately, and spoke cheerfully.
Completely forgot about my father, a relatively silent person.
Song Qinghan remained silent, and followed behind the mother and son two steps behind. He looked at Su Jiaojiao with the same eyes as before, but with a little more helplessness. However, his look towards his son slowly became more and more malicious. [2]
In fact, after his son was born, his status immediately declined. Needless to say, his parents only cared about their grandson. Now Song Tianning was why they worked at all, and would only leave reluctantly after kissing him every morning. The kid wouldn’t want to let go either.
Su Jiaojiao was a little better. Although she also mostly cared about her son, he was the one who secretly supplied her with snacks. He was also the only one who knew about her secret.
In this regard, Song Qinghan was secretly proud.
However… at this time, the sense of crisis in his heart is getting stronger and stronger. If he didn’t know about her secret, wouldn’t Jiaojiao start ignoring him?
Song Qinghan knows that he was quite naive to think this way, as he was jealous of a child.
But he couldn’t help it.
Feeling a little bit of grievance in his heart, Song Qinghan tightened the two schoolbags in her hands. When he was thinking about this, he also subconsciously slowed down.
After walking two steps, Su Jiaojiao suddenly found that the person who had been following closely behind her seemed to be gone. Su Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped and looked back. She said in surprise, “Qinghan?”
Song Qinghan caught up silently.
Su Jiaojiao blinked and grabbed his sleeve. But in the 70s, even a husband and wife couldn’t be too intimate in public. She released his sleeve and asked distressedly, “What’s wrong?”
Song Qinghan smiled, “Nothing.”
His smile was calm, just like before.
She couldn’t see anything.
Su Jiaojiao took another look suspiciously. She felt that his smile was slightly different when he faced her.
It’s a pity that she understand what he was thinking.
Song Tianning also imitated his mother and tilted his head. Then, he shook his head and said in a milky voice, “Daddy is fine. You can see that Daddy is smiling!”
Song Qinghan, “…”
That brat!
But Su Jiaojiao was comforted by this sentence for the most part and smiled, “Well, then let’s go home quickly.”
She’d ask what was going on when they were alone.
Song Tianning was already three years old. After he stopped breastfeeding at eight months, Su Jiaojiao didn’t take him to sleep. When he was two years old, he could climb in and out of the cot by himself, and he started sleeping alone.
When they came to the capital, they bought a house with four rooms. One was used as a study, and another was given to Song Tianning. Ji Ya objected, but failed, and she could only feel distressed. She got up secretly in the middle of the night to watch her grandson many times, going to work the next day with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
However, after this, Song Tianning became more self-reliant. The two-person world of Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan returned, and their relationship heated up for a while.
Song Qinghan was initially unhappy because of Song Tianning, so when he heard what his son said, and the fact Su Jiaojiao really stopped asking about him, a sullen anger bloomed in his chest, and his face became ugly.
It’s a pity that the mother and son duo didn’t pay attention to him at all.
Armos D. Platypus: Poor Song Qinghan.

[2] At least he knows it’s juvenile of him later on.
