"Since ancient times, men have been the breadwinners outside the home and women have been the homemakers. Is it appropriate for a grown man like you to cook at home every day?" Zhou Shuping said sarcastically. If the husband is not in power, the family will not be well off.
Now, Su Qingsong and his wife were unhappy.
"Oh, this is the first time I heard someone say that it is not appropriate for a man to cook. I have been doing it for most of my life, and everyone praises me as a model husband and envies my old woman, saying that she is blessed." Su Qingsong said proudly.
Being able to make your wife envied by others is the greatest achievement for a husband.
Is it a good thing for others to sympathize with your wife? This shows that you are a bad husband.
Zhou Shuping thought: You are useless. You take others' praise seriously. Who knows what they say about you behind your back
"Mom, it's the 21st century now. The era of men working outside and women working inside is over. Now it's up to whoever can do it and has the time to do it." Han Ting saw that her mother's face was so dark that ink was about to drip out. She was afraid that her mother would say something unpleasant, so she quickly tried to stop her.
"That's right. Once they get married, they can live their own families and live comfortably. We don't need to worry about them," Han Jianguo also said.
Su Ran smiled obediently and said, "Auntie, when can you teach me how to do it, I will learn from you."
If she doesn't obey her aunt, she will get angry.
By then, the two families would have to quarrel, and she didn't want to create any more trouble.
At worst, she would just be more diligent in front of her aunt. It’s not a big deal, as long as Han Dong loves her.
Su Qingsong is not happy, why bother trying to please him? What if he can't cook? If you have the guts, tell your son not to like my Ranran.
"Grandpa, eat some vegetables." Seeing that grandpa was unhappy, Su Ran quickly picked up a piece of braised pork to block his mouth.
Zhou Shuping finally felt relieved. Su Ran was still sensible.
Let's stop here.
After lunch, Su Ran said that grandpa was not feeling well and needed to rest at noon, so she left.
Su Qingsong said, "I'm fine. Don't treat me like a patient. I've agreed with Jianguo that we'll play two games of chess."
"Grandpa, if you don't rest, I need to rest too." Su Ran said in a low voice.
Su Qingsong: "Oh, then Jianguo, I'll play chess with you some other day."
Han Jianguo thought that his brother had not recovered completely and needed to take it easy, so he did not try to persuade him to stay. He said, "I'll come to your house some other day."
"That would be great."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before saying goodbye.
Zhou Shuping walked her to the door and said politely, "Grandpa and grandma Su Ran, please come to our house often."
Han Ting and his wife also said, "Mom, I'm leaving first. I have to go pick up Xiao Zhao."
Xiao Zhao didn't come today because there was an activity in the kindergarten. Fortunately, it was not a parent-child activity, otherwise the two of them would not be able to come today.
After everyone left, Zhou Shuping began to nag: "Old Han, did you hear that? In other families, men cook. Look how much they love their wives. What about you? You don't care about anything at home. You don't even help to fix the fallen soy sauce bottle."
Han Jianguo disagreed: "Every family has a different situation, how can we compare them?"
"Why can't we compare? I tell you, from tomorrow on I won't cook, you do it. I've never eaten a meal cooked by you in my life, why is my life so miserable." Zhou Shuping was unconvinced even when she thought about it. The old couple had lived together for most of their lives, and she had never eaten a single bite of food cooked by Old Han. Her son could cook but he didn't cook for her. He only knew how to show his courtesy to other women. The more Zhou Shuping thought about it, the more she felt that her life was a failure.
Han Jianguo said, "Didn't you say that men should work outside and women should work inside? You said it with confidence just now, but now I'm envious."
Double standards.
"I'm just trying to gain status for my son, what do you know?" Zhou Shuping said angrily.
"Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. My son is happy to do things for the person he likes. He is happy. You are meddling too much." Han Jianguo was speechless. If Su Ran hadn't been smart and sensible, there would have been a quarrel at the dinner table.
Han Dong sent Su Ran's grandparents home and said to Su Ran, "I'll go first and contact you later."
Su Ran nodded and said hesitantly: "If she..."
The words came to her lips but she didn't know what to say. She didn't know her mother at all, and didn't know what kind of person she was. After so many years, what did her mother think of her grandparents and her daughter? If Han Dong hadn't asked someone to find her and tell her that her grandfather was sick, would her mother not want to come back
Su Ran really didn't know how to face her mother.
Han Dong touched her head and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Han Dong went to the five-star hotel where Su Ran's mother Su Yicen was staying. They lived in the presidential suite. Han Dong thought to himself: It seems that Su Ran's mother is living well in Xinghai Country.
Han Dong pressed the doorbell and someone soon came to open the door.
Su Yicen was stunned when he saw Han Dong. This young man was so handsome and full of energy.
Han Dong was also stunned when he saw Su Cen. There was no doubt that the person in front of him was Ranran's mother, because they looked so much alike.
"Hello, I'm Han Dong." Han Dong introduced himself.
Su Yicen hurriedly said: "Hello, hello, come in quickly."
While shouting inside: "Avery, the person we are waiting for is here."
Han Dong walked in and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen and a boy of about eleven or twelve running out first, looking at Han Dong with curiosity.
The two mixed-race children are both very beautiful.
Han Dong knew that these should be Ranran's sister and brother.
Then another tall foreign man walked out of the room, smiled and came forward to shake hands with Han Dong, "Hello, Mr. Han."
After the greetings, Su Yicen introduced her two children to Han Dong. The eldest daughter was 19 years old and her name was Adah, and her Yan name was Su Yue. The youngest son was 13 years old and his name was Carl, and his Yan name was Su Hang.
Han Dong felt a little regretful. He didn't know that his sister-in-law and brother-in-law had also come, otherwise he should have brought some gifts.
"Mr. Han, I didn't want to trouble you. Our family came here from Wangzhou. We flew directly from Xinghai Country to Wangzhou. However, there was no one at home. I don't know where they went, so I had to look for you. I wonder what your relationship with my parents is?" Su Yicen asked.
Han Dong said: "I am Su Ran's fiancé."
"Su Ran?" Su Yicen was a little unfamiliar with this name.
Han Dong felt a little sad for Ranran; her mother didn’t even know her name.
"Auntie, Su Ran is your daughter."
Su Yicen was stunned for a moment, then showed a happy expression: "It turned out to be Xiaobei, you... are getting married?"
Su Yicen's eyes were different when she looked at Han Dong again. After all, she was the mother-in-law. The more a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. What's more, Han Dong's appearance was so attractive.
"Yes, just now the parents of the two families had a meal together, it was very pleasant." Han Dong said quietly, thinking: It turns out that Ranran's nickname is Xiaobei, which should be Bei as in baby. The fact that Auntie gave Ranran this nickname shows that she loves her very much.
Su Yicen said to himself with emotion: "Xiao Bei is so big now."
Avery patted Su Yicen's shoulder gently, as if to comfort her.
Thank you Lei Lei for the reward!
