Xu Wan prepared two dishes and a soup: stir-fried pork with chili peppers, tomato and egg soup, and stir-fried dried pickled vegetables.
Nowadays, you don't need coupons to buy groceries, so buying groceries is still very convenient.
Every day after get off work, Mo Yan would buy groceries and cook.
Mo Yan felt that Xu Wan was just spoiled. It's not like she doesn't know how to do things. Shouldn't housework be done together?
"Mom, how do you think I did?"
Xu Wan went to great lengths to get her mother to agree to what she was saying.
"Hmm, it's alright, I can eat it."
Mo Yan gave a very fair evaluation: it was indeed just okay.
"Mom, can I ask for a reward?"
Xu Wan blinked, her big eyes filled with anticipation, as if she firmly believed that her mother would reward her.
"Isn't cooking your job? This is our home, so isn't it normal to share housework? Why should I be exhausted from serving you every day?"
You've done what you're supposed to do, and you still have the nerve to ask for a reward? Where's your sense of shame?
Every time Wei Yang comes, he always mentions how much he cares about his parents back home. Why don't you care about me?
Since I love Wei Yang to the core, I'll give him a proper compliment.
Xu Wan: "..."
"Mom, why are you acting like you've been hit by a firecracker today? You think everything I say is wrong."
Xu Wan, in a fit of pique, took a big bite of rice, which immediately choked her. She drank a couple of mouthfuls of water and forcefully purged her throat before she recovered.
"Then you're wrong. I used to think you were still young and I wanted to arrange everything for you, but after what you said today, I realized that you're all grown up now and it's time to start learning how to live on your own."
From now on, everyone in the household should do their own chores. We'll each cook one day, understand?
Some people take it for granted that you're good to them, and even feel that it's wrong if you're not.
Actually, it's inseparable from her parents' education. If Xu Wan had known from a young age that everything in this family required everyone's joint efforts, then Xu Wan wouldn't be the way she is now.
Sometimes spoiling someone isn't love; it just makes them take it for granted.
Xu Wan: "..."
"Mom, I want to discuss something with you." Xu Wan was completely convinced.
"Go ahead and say it." Mo Yan finished her bowl of rice and then put down her chopsticks.
"Here's the thing, Wei Yang and I have been together for three years, and I think we can get married. What do you think?"
She couldn't wait to be with Wei Yang, to have a home of her own, and to enjoy three meals a day, through all four seasons.
"Is it you who wants to get married, or does Wei Yang want to get married?"
Mo Yan didn't say she disagreed; she just looked at Xu Wan calmly.
Wei Yang had Xu Wan completely under his thumb. No matter when, pushing Xu Wan forward was always a safe bet; he didn't have to do anything and just appeared to be an honest, unassuming person.
"Well... I want to get married. It's not that Wei Yang doesn't want to, it's just that he's just started working and can't give me a good future."
But I think it's enough that two people love each other. Our family doesn't lack a house.
We have another house, so we can let his parents stay there when they come over.
They said they wanted to come see me and cook me some of their local delicacies.
When Mo Yan saw the stars in Xu Wan's eyes, and thought that the future was all happiness, she didn't immediately pour cold water on her enthusiasm.
Love-struck people are impossible to deal with. If you object, she'll think it's true love and become even more determined to fight back.
"Then your behavior is unacceptable. Boys have pride. You're letting him live in our house? Do you want him to become a live-in son-in-law?"
