Looking at Chen Ermei, who looked utterly hopeless, Xu Daya thought she was both stupid and pretentious.
I had heard before that she was very hardworking and listened to her parents at home. I never expected that on the first day after she married into the family, she would try to avoid doing any work and even hit the child.
What woman doesn't have to work after marriage? If she's not well-treated in her own family, how much more so in her husband's? Especially a newlywed bride, she's bound to suffer some hardship.
Judging from her opinion, Xu Hongxia's sister-in-law, who is also getting married today, is probably working non-stop!
His uncle's family also had some issues; it's said that his uncle and cousin did most of the housework, while his aunt and Xu Hongxia didn't have to do anything.
Now that there's someone from another family involved, I guess the new bride will be doing the housework.
......
The new bride, Huang Qinqin, was indeed constantly 'working'.
Huang Qinqin discovered that Xu Junhui had simply crumpled her clothes into a ball and put them into the closet; no wonder he had packed up so quickly.
After Xu Jingui left, Huang Qinqin felt very sweaty and wanted to take a shower and take a nap. But when she opened the wardrobe, she felt terrible!
Xu Junhui boiled water in the kitchen for her to take a bath. Huang Qinqin originally wanted to tidy up herself, but then she remembered what Xu Junhui had said: from now on, he would take care of all the housework except cooking.
After thinking about it, I decided to call him in and have him redo it.
Huang Qinqin walked to the kitchen door and waved to Xu Junhui: "Brother Junhui, come with me for a moment."
When Huang Qinqin called him, Xu Junhui took some firewood out of the stove to prevent it from falling out if no one was watching.
Then he went outside and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Huang Qinqin didn't answer, but simply took his hand and asked him to come along.
Reaching the wardrobe, Huang Qinqin pointed at her clothes and asked, "Brother Junhui, look, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Xu Junhui looked the wardrobe over from left to right but couldn't find anything wrong. He tentatively asked, "Is there a problem? I don't think I see anything wrong..."
Huang Qinqin almost blurted out: "This isn't a problem?!"
However, seeing that Xu Junhui's face showed no sign of perfunctoriness but was full of sincerity, she held back.
"Why are all these clothes crumpled up like this? They're all wrinkled."
"Huh? But I've always kept my clothes like this, look."
Xu Junhui pointed to the bottom shelf of the wardrobe, and indeed... that's how he keeps his clothes too.
Huang Qinqin took out a piece of clothing, intending to teach him how to fold clothes.
"Come on, Junhui, let me teach you. You should fold your clothes like this from now on. It's easy to find them and doesn't take up much space."
Huang Qinqin asked him to take a piece of clothing and taught him step by step: "Come on, first do it like this, then like this, and finally like this."
"Yes! That's it! Junhui, you're amazing! You folded it so well on your first try!"
Looking at the crooked clothes in Xu Junhui's hands, Huang Qinqin, clutching her conscience, praised him. "They're a bit ugly, but this isn't the first time. With more practice, they'll look better."
Xu Junhui initially thought his folding was rather ugly, because Huang Qinqin's folded clothes were neatly square, while his were crooked and uneven.
However, when he heard Huang Qinqin praise him for folding it well, he suddenly felt confident and asked happily, "Really? Do I really fold it well? It still looks a bit ugly."
"It's not ugly at all! How is it ugly? The first time I folded it, it was much worse than yours! You're just not skilled enough. With more practice, it will definitely look better than mine."
Once she utters the first compliment, Huang Qinqin can shower subsequent praises with compliments without even blinking.
"Junhui, you continue packing your clothes. I'm going to take a shower first."
"Mmm!" Xu Junhui felt full of energy and planned to quickly reorganize the clothes in his wardrobe!
However, Xu Junhui went to help Huang Qinqin carry the hot water to the bathroom first. Although Huang Qinqin might be able to carry it herself, since he was home, how could he let her do such heavy work?
After finishing, I went back to my room and continued my battle of wits with the clothes. And you know what? After folding ten or eight pieces, they actually started to get quite neat.
So Xu Junhui redid the first few pieces he had folded. Xu Junhui thought he was a real genius; he had only just started learning, yet he was already doing a pretty good job.
......
Huang Family
After the banquet at noon, the Huang family members all went to work in the afternoon. So they didn't feel that anything was different from usual.
But when I got home that night, I found the house unusually quiet. Even though Huang Qinqin was missing, no one seemed very enthusiastic.
Most importantly, none of them remembered that after Huang Qinqin got married, no one cooked at home anymore.
The four of them, including Chen Zhaodi, looked at each other, and finally Chen Zhaodi decisively said, "Your dad and I will go back to the cafeteria to get food and eat here. From now on, we'll just eat in the cafeteria on weekdays. Otherwise, by the time we finish work, there won't be any vegetables left at the market."
"And we can only cook very late."
Everyone thought Chen Zhaodi's decision was good, so it was passed unanimously.
Huang Jianjun suggested, "Why don't we all go to the cafeteria to eat now? That way we won't have to come back to get food."
Chen Zhaodi rummaged through all the lunchboxes at home and was about to leave with Huang Eryuan when she heard Huang Jianjun say this. She explained, "It's too late today. If you walk there, the canteen might not have any food left. Your dad and I will ride our bikes, it'll be faster."
"Alright then, how about my older brother and I go? You guys stay home and rest for a while?"
Chen Zhaodi thought it was a good idea, since they were young and had good stamina, and could ride their bikes faster, so she gave them the lunchboxes.
......
The Xu family had a lively dinner together. Originally, Zhang Yumei hadn't planned to let Huang Qinqin cook.
However, Huang Qinqin insisted, saying, "Mom, I don't dare say I'll cook every meal from now on. Today is my first day married into the family, so I wanted you to try my cooking again. Tomorrow, I promise I won't compete with you for it!"
So Zhang Yumei asked Huang Qinqin to cook, while she and Xu Hongxia assisted.
It has to be said that Huang Qinqin's cooking skills are indeed very good. The same ingredients taste better when she cooks them than when others cook them.
The family of five finished all the food.
After finishing their meal, Xu Junhui voluntarily cleared the table and took the dishes to wash. Huang Qinqin didn't offer to help.
She wanted to see if her mother-in-law would think anything of her not washing the dishes voluntarily. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yumei said, "Qinqin, your dad and Ahui have always washed the dishes in our family."
"After all, we've already taken care of cooking, so it's fair that they take care of washing the dishes, don't you think?"
