Jingqiu's husband is like the third child.
According to Jing Qiu's answer to a netizen's question in 2007, her husband is also very much like the third child. In the pursuit stage before marriage, he also sent her across the river, stood on the river bank for a long time, and sat alone in the riverside pavilion all night.
However, because the husband was still a married man, their relationship could not be made public. "He came to see me from the city where he worked. He had to take the train all night. Many times, he had no seat and could only sit in the bathroom on the train. Later, after I went to Wuhan University for graduate study, he could come to see me once every two weeks. When he comes, he will help me wash the sheets and quilt, sew the quilt, sometimes buy a chicken, wash it and watch me eat with my sister. "
But after marriage, contradictions gradually emerged, because he was no longer so attentive and thoughtful. At that time, Jingqiu felt deeply cheated. "I think that if I get married with my third child, maybe it will become like this." Therefore, I always comfort myself that it may be a good thing that I can't live with my third child for a long time, so that I won't stumble and quarrel about the daily necessities. He will always be beautiful in my mind. "
