Chapter 246 Snow
Tang's father and mother seemed even more reserved. They crossed their hands and exchanged glances from time to time, but they never had the courage to express any different opinions.
Because they know that any resistance or rebuttal at this moment is unnecessary and may even backfire.
Their thoughts are indeed more conservative, and they adhere to traditional ethical principles in their bones. They agree more strongly than Zhao Chunhua with the principle of "prosperity together, adversity together"
At this moment, the scene just now kept circling in Tang's father's mind. He was thinking, or had already begun to wonder whether it was necessary to take his daughter home and give her a stern lesson.
Although Zhao Chunhua did not directly point out the problems in their family education from beginning to end, those meaningful words and unspoken attitude had already caused a dull pain in his heart.
However, at this time he still needed to put on a fake smile to hide his inner irritability and discomfort, which made him feel like his life was a year long.
Didn’t Zhao Chunhua notice that Tang’s father was fidgeting?
Obviously not.
As a smart person in the bureau, she not only observed it, but also knew exactly where such a reaction came from.
She knew in her heart that someone like Tang's father, who adhered to traditional ideas, was bound to feel extremely uncomfortable on a special occasion like today.
But what she said was reasonable and logical, and every word she said was tenable. At the same time, she remained restrained and polite, and did not openly accuse the other party's family of shortcomings in public.
Therefore, even though Tang's father was furious, he could not find any reason to fight back and could only swallow all his grievances and resentment. This torment naturally made it even more unbearable for him.
Zhao Chunhua still held the teacup calmly and confidently. Her movements were slow and graceful, and every detail revealed a sense of confidence and composure.
And that's exactly what she wanted to achieve - if you can't make me feel comfortable, then I'm sorry, I don't mind if we're all stuck together.
As for personally educating your future daughter-in-law on how to abide by the so-called rules?
Zhao Chunhua had no intention of getting involved in such matters because she didn't want to be labeled a "mean mother-in-law" because of such a trivial matter.
In this world, a person's reputation is never black and white.
Especially in a situation like the one she is facing now, if she is labeled with some unnecessary negative labels, such as being harsh on younger generations or interfering in other people's family affairs, it would be a thankless task.
Therefore, she wisely chose to take a step back and leave the responsibility of solving the problem to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, this was the most appropriate approach.
As for the so-called character setting, there has never been an absolute distinction between good and bad in the strict sense.
Human nature itself is multifaceted and complex. Zhao Chunhua never expected to win everyone's praise through her performance today.
She is just protecting her simple and peaceful life in her own way.
However, for those who insist on causing trouble, simply giving in will only backfire.
When the time comes and she needs to draw her sword decisively, she will not show any mercy.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little subtle, and everyone had different thoughts.
Despite this, Zhao Chunhua still enjoyed her meal very much.
Compared to Tang Jianxi's dishes that were so light that they had almost no taste, Chen Mai's dishes were much richer in flavor and obviously more in line with her taste.
The food was delicious and Zhao Chunhua was in a good mood, so her appetite was naturally very strong.
After the meal, she did not let the guests stay too long as it was snowing outside and the journey was inconvenient.
When seeing the guests off, Zhao Chunhua suddenly felt a sense of kindness in her heart: Today's chaos has come to an end, and we should give others some time to relax.
Besides, if the snow gets heavier, it will be troublesome if the guests can’t return home.
So she said goodbye to everyone gently and watched them leave.
The yard was still covered in silver, and the sky and the earth were pure white.
A path cleared in the morning led to the gate, but apart from that, the surrounding area was still covered with thick snow.
At this time, the tea has been reheated and is emitting a faint steam.
A short screen surrounded the small table in the living room, with tea sets neatly placed on it.
Zhao Chunhua sat there quietly, picking up the teacup and sipping gently, feeling this rare tranquility and leisure, and couldn't help but reveal a comfortable smile.
"Speaking of which, getting angry is really useless in life. You see, I have been very upset these past few days, and even my mind is a mess. When I think about things, I always think in all sorts of ways and have no clue."
She sighed slowly, her voice revealing a hint of helplessness and reflection.
Indeed, being impatient not only fails to solve the problem, but also makes you behave more unwisely.
Sometimes calming down is the real wisdom.
The little stone at the side stretched out its chubby little arms and reached out the door.
The child is lively by nature and is curious about everything. The sudden snow has aroused his strong interest.
His eyes were full of desire, and he obviously couldn't wait to rush out and play.
Zhao Chunhua glanced at the heavy snow outside the window, then looked down at Xiao Shitou's expectant face. His childish expression made her feel warm in her heart.
Despite the cold weather, she decided to fulfill her child's wish.
So she took out a furry vest and put it on Little Stone, and carefully helped him put on his hat. After making sure that he was wrapped tightly and properly, she picked him up and walked out of the room.
"Look, those white things outside are snow."
Zhao Chunhua squatted under the porch and placed the small stone in her arms so that he could observe everything up close. "This is the first time you have seen snow. Do you remember it?"
In order to give him a better experience, she grabbed a handful of soft snow and handed it to Little Stone.
The snow was white and crystal clear, reflecting a slight luster under the light, attracting all the children's attention.
Little Stone was indeed fascinated by the scene before him, and quickly stretched out his two little hands to touch it.
"Do you feel cold?"
Zhao Chunhua explained patiently with a smile on her face, "Well, but you may not quite understand the word 'cold' now."
But soon, she found that the snow in Xiao Shitou's hands had begun to melt, turning into a small pool of transparent water droplets that dripped through her fingers.
Zhao Chunhua reached out to shake off the wet snow that remained on her palm, then took out the handkerchief she carried with her and carefully wiped her fingers dry, while also helping Xiao Shitou wipe the water stains off his hands.
After completing these actions, she looked up at the heavy snow outside again, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Let's build a snowman later. The bigger one will be me, and the smaller one will be you."
She murmured softly, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in her tone.
Although she knew that the child in front of her might not understand what she was saying, she couldn't help but become more and more excited.
