“When he does something wrong, you get angry and scold him, and when he does something right, you scold him for not doing it this way before.
"He would be scolded no matter whether he did something good or bad. After a long time, he became too lazy to think about what he should do or say.
"I'll get scolded anyway, so why bother thinking about it?"
Seeing that Lin Yumei still didn't say anything, Mrs. Ye had no choice but to continue to explain it to her in detail.
"You can criticize him if he does something wrong, but it's best to stick to the facts. Don't bring up a similar incident from five years ago just because you didn't do something right now.
“You said that he has done something wrong right now, and he will feel that he is wrong, and he may even feel guilty.
"But if you bring up all the past events and talk about them together, it will only infuriate the other person, and then both of you will get emotional and the argument will get worse.
"Also, in today's situation, you're taking care of two children now, haven't you noticed this?
"For example, if your child helps with housework, if you praise him a few times, he will rush to help you next time.
“It’s the same with men; if they do something wrong, they should be criticized, but if they do something right, they should be rewarded.
“No normal person would dislike being rewarded but prefer being scolded. Who wants to live in a quarrel?
“When he does something right, you praise him, make him something delicious, and be gentle with him.
"He'll feel comfortable like this, and he'll be more careful about his words and actions in the future, and try not to do things that make you angry. Slowly, things will get better!"
This time, Lin Yumei understood what Mrs. Ye meant and said with a smile, "My dear, this isn't a man at all, it's clearly another son!"
"Men are all children, aren't they?" Mrs. Ye also laughed.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much today." Lin Yumei held Sister-in-law Ye's hand and thanked her repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's better for you two to live well together.
"For us women, it's not easy to go out and come back home, let alone with two children.
"You live your life for yourself. It's not worth it if someone else hurts your relationship with your spouse."
"Sister-in-law, I've got it." Lin Yumei nodded. "No wonder your family, with its three brothers, all live in harmony with each other. There really are a lot of secrets and principles to this!"
"I learned a lot of things from my mother-in-law over the years."
"I really envy you for having a good mother-in-law!" Lin Yumei couldn't help but sigh when she thought of her own terrible mother-in-law.
"Take your time, your mother-in-law is not a bad person, she's just a little confused and can't let go of her daughter.
"So you have to win over Wang Ge and make him always stand on the same side with you.
"Otherwise, you can scold him to the other side as well. Do you want to fight alone?"
When Lin Yumei thought of that scene, she shuddered and shook her head.
The two of them had almost finished talking to each other when the dishes started to be served in the outer room.
The guy even brought some hot water and mixed it into warm water in the basin for everyone to wash their hands.
Mrs. Ye and Lin Yumei quickly washed the children and took them to the outer room for dinner.
After everyone was seated, Wang Ge said to the waiter, "Today's dishes are all your specialty dishes. Please introduce them to us!"
"Okay." The waiter responded crisply, "Our Fudingxuan is considered the most famous and established restaurant in our county. It has been open for more than 30 years.
"My boss Qian Yunfei comes from a family of culinary experts, and his ancestors have been doing this for generations!
“The most famous among them is our shopkeeper Qian’s great-grandfather, who was once the imperial physician in the palace.
"Many of our dishes today originated from the palace. They were dishes served at palace banquets back then!"
"Today, our distinguished guests ordered our restaurant's specialties: chicken slices in lotus sauce, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, first-class tofu, stir-fried kidney slices, and fish slices in fermented rice wine."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ye said, "It turns out that Shopkeeper Qian is a master of Shandong cuisine."
When the waiter heard that there was an experienced customer among the guests, he immediately became excited and said, "This sister-in-law is right. My boss is originally from Shandong and is an authentic descendant of Shandong cuisine. His family has been chefs for generations.
"It was not until the shopkeeper's great-grandfather was chosen to enter the palace because of his exceptional craftsmanship that this branch of the family finally settled in the capital.
"The owner of our shop inherited his great-grandfather's culinary talent and started learning the craft when he was little, even as tall as the stove.
Shandong cuisine emphasizes pure seasoning and has a salty and fresh taste. It is characterized by freshness, tenderness, fragrance and crispness, and is particularly skilled in the unique and specialized techniques of stir-frying and braising.
The dishes recommended by the waiter today are indeed some of the more famous Shandong cuisine.
It’s a pity that this restaurant can’t make classic dishes like nine-turn large intestine and scallion-fried sea cucumber.
However, even if there was one, the Ye family would not let Wang Ge choose it.
The preparation of Nine-Turn Large Intestine is complicated, and sea cucumber is a precious ingredient. The reason why the store does not have it is not necessarily because the shopkeeper Qian does not know how to make it. It is very likely because the price is too high. In a small county like Fengle County, no one can afford to eat it.
Instead of writing the ingredients on the menu and keeping them on hand in case someone orders them, it would be better to just remove the menu.
After the waiter finished the introduction, he quickly left the private room, leaving the space to the guests.
Wang Ge raised his glass first and said, "Brother Ye, Sister Ye, Third Brother Ye, you are all benefactors to my wife and me.
"I'm not good at talking, and I don't know how to say nice things. We're all drunk."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass.
Lin Yumei also said: "Yes, you have helped us so much in every way. I have done it, you can do whatever you want."
