Chapter 28 When to Find a Partner
Originally, when Su's father first started cooking, the food tasted just so-so, but Su's mother was good at flattering him. Every time Su's father cooked a dish, Su's mother would flatter him to the skies, praising him in a coquettish way. For example,
"Boss, you cook faster than me, and the food tastes better than mine. The color is so appetizing. Look, the children ate half a steamed bun more than usual."
"Master, tell me the truth. Your ancestors were chefs, right?"
"When guests come to our house in the future, you should cook for them. You should show off your great cooking skills."
Su Mu's praise was particularly sincere and not exaggerated at all.
Moreover, Su's mother not only praised Su's father at home, but also praised him to guests when they came home, saying that Su's father cooked delicious meals and cleaned the house more neatly and meticulously than she, a woman, and she said that Su's father had all kinds of advantages.
The emotional value was returned very well. Every time when Su's father finished cooking, Su's mother would say, "Thank you for your hard work as the head of the family, thank you for your child's father, and thank you for your hard work as the chef Su." In addition to saying that, she would also massage their shoulders and backs.
The result was that Comrade Su Changyuan lost himself in Ms. Chen Yuling's praises, and his cooking became better and better and his housekeeping became more and more meticulous.
In addition to spareribs, Su's mother also bought carp, the kind of small carp that is the size of a palm. She said to Su's father, "Master, I want to eat the fried fish you made last time."
He added, "The children like to eat it, too."
The tone is soft, making people feel that she is acting coquettishly, showing her feminine attitude.
Of course, Su's father was happy. He said, "Okay, let's make fried fish."
"Braised spareribs, fried fish, stir-fried green beans, minced pork and eggplant, stir-fried meat with mushrooms, and a cold dish. What do you think of six dishes?"
Su's father asked Su's mother.
After listening to her, Su's mother said, "Okay, two or three meat dishes will do."
"By the way, take this watermelon back with you and eat it after dinner."
Father Su nodded, bought some vegetables at the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a few popsicles before leaving, eating one on the way.
When we got home, we gave one to Gu's mother, "Come here, mother-in-law, have some ice to cool off."
When it was Su He's turn, he hesitated.
Su He loves popsicles, especially in this hot weather, but she was in poor health when she was a child. When she saw her brothers eating popsicles, she also wanted to eat some. Then she ate one and ended up catching a cold.
From then on, Su's father and mother stopped giving her anything to eat.
Father Su said, "My dear girl, why don't you lick it a few times? You can't eat too much cold food when you are pregnant."
Su He, "I'll just take a bite."
She took a bite and let Su's father eat the rest.
Seeing that it was still early, Father Su prepared the dishes that needed to be cooked and started making time-consuming dishes such as braised spareribs and fried fish.
By the time it was time to get off work, Su's father had prepared all the dishes. Su Xiao, the second son who arrived home first, was a little surprised to see Su He there.
"Hey, who is this? Why does she look so much like my sister?"
In response, Su He said, "Actually, my mother gave birth to five children. I am the long-lost sister, Su Ju!"
Su Xiao, "............When did you get here?"
After the holiday, Su He seldom went to the county for nothing. She hadn't been here for a month. However, Gu's mother went more frequently than her. She delivered fruits and vegetables from the yard to their home almost once a week.
"Morning." Su He said.
When Su Xiao took off his shoes and came in, he saw Gu's mother and greeted her warmly. Gu's mother felt that the Su family's children were well raised and educated by Su's father and mother.
The son is tall, handsome and polite; the daughter is pretty and filial.
Although I haven't met the eldest and the third brother, but judging from the second and fourth brothers, the eldest and the third brother must be not bad either.
A Peking University student who ranked first in the province in the college entrance examination that year.
One is a company commander in the army.
Gu's mother was very jealous of Su's mother because all her children were so outstanding!
Su Xiao washed his hands and went to the kitchen to see if there was any work to do. If not, he came over to chat with Gu's mother.
Gu's mother told him that Su He was pregnant with twins. Su Xiao and Su He gave a thumbs up.
"My sister is amazing, it runs in the family!"
“I don’t know if I can inherit it!”
Hearing this, Gu's mother asked, "Does the second child have a partner?"
There is an object, no.
Su Xiao shook his head, and Gu's mother said, "You are 22 this year, right? You are not young anymore. You can find someone to talk to."
Gu's mother's family does have several unmarried nieces, but they are not a good match for Su Xiao. What kind of family is theirs? What kind of family is her mother's family?
Besides, the looks of her nieces are... not satisfactory.
Her parents had five sons and three daughters. Among these eight children, no one knew how they looked, but she took after her father, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and an oval face. The other six looked like their mother, with small eyes like melon seeds, flat noses, and very thick lips. They all looked unsatisfactory.
Not to mention her sister's children, just the children of her brothers, the boys are okay, but the girls look exactly like their fathers. Girls look like their fathers, and sons look like their mothers. This is vividly reflected in her brothers.
Girls have no trouble finding a husband. No matter how ugly they are, there will be someone to marry them. However, the men they marry are all from the village.
When people in the city are looking for a partner, they first consider whether the other person has a job.
So it's not suitable in all aspects, and she would not tell Su's father and mother that she has a niece on her mother's side.
Su Xiao scratched his head and said, "I haven't found a suitable one."
He hasn't looked for another one since he broke up with Xu Honglian. Firstly, he hasn't met anyone he likes, and secondly, his parents told him that the family is a little tight financially.
He wants to wait and see next year.
The two were chatting when Su's mother came back and joined them in the chat.
Su's mother and Gu's mother got along well. She said to Gu's mother, "Sister, you don't know, let me tell you, the person that the second son dated last time..."
After hearing this, Gu's mother was indignant. "Why is this girl like this? How shameful! It's a good thing Xiao He saw it!"
"What happened to those two people now? Didn't the man want to marry the factory director's daughter? If he fails to marry her, will he be angry with Xu Honglian?"
Gossip is a woman's nature, and Gu's mother and Su's mother were chatting animatedly.
Su's mother said, "Well, I heard that Xu Honglian lost her baby and had a fight with her husband, and Chen Aimin kicked her in the stomach."
Mother Gu said with a sigh, "This man is such a scoundrel. He said that the baby in my belly is his. How can he be so cruel?"
"That's right. I heard that Xu Honglian is now asking for a divorce from her! But the Chen family doesn't want to let her go." Su's mother said.
It doesn't take much thought to understand this. After all, Xu Honglian works in a textile factory. Although such a daughter-in-law is not as good as the factory director's daughter, she is much better than other people in the village.
It's normal that the Chen family doesn't want to let people go.
Gu's mother continued to ask, "So what are we going to do?"
Su's mother said, "Xu Honglian has returned to live with the Xu family."
Mother Gu whispered, "Sister, let me tell you, if Xu Honglian really gets divorced, what if she comes back to find the second brother? You should let the second brother find a partner as soon as possible!"
Su's mother thought her son might not be that stupid, but she couldn't say for sure, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
