Bai Xiuyan is not the type to spoil children, so Cui Yuting is a good girl; otherwise, the Han family would not have agreed to her marriage with Yuan Qihua.
Bai Xiuyan knew that her husband was only saying this because he was worried about their daughter, so she said, "Don't worry. Our Yuting isn't the kind of spoiled princess. I'll teach her a bit more."
Then she turned to her daughter and said, "But Yuting, you really need to learn how to cook. Look at He Yuhan, her cooking is top-notch. Even if you can't compare to her, you need to be presentable. Otherwise, how will your in-laws take care of Qihua if they see that you can't cook?"
During this time, you should learn more from me, and also learn more from Yuhan at the Han family's house.
Cui Yuting said somewhat shyly, "I told Qihua that I'm not a good cook and can't cook anything, and he said it's okay. He'll learn to cook like his cousin in the future."
Bai Xiuyan said, "Qihua says that because he loves you and is willing to make sacrifices for you, but you can't take it for granted. A husband and wife should respect and love each other and contribute to the family together. You can't just keep taking. Otherwise, your partner will get tired of you sooner or later."
Qihua is so busy with work. After you get married, you should take on the responsibilities of a wife and take good care of him.
Cui Jiancheng said, "Yuting, your mother is right. Married life isn't as simple as you think. After living together for a long time, things tend to become mundane, and it won't be as passionate as when you were in love."
It's not easy for a couple to manage a family well, and you still have a lot to learn. Like your mother said about cooking, Qihua is willing to learn cooking for you because he cares about you, so why can't you work hard to learn cooking well for him?
Don't you want to cook some delicious meals for your future husband yourself? This is a way to show your love and care for him, and also a way to strengthen your relationship.
Bai Xiuyan said, "I think you should learn more from Yuhan. Look at Yuhan, she's so young, and even if we don't talk about her other aspects, she's very wise in managing her family. Look how filial she is to her elders, and how she gets along with your Aunt Wen like a real mother and daughter."
She takes meticulous care of her husband, children, and elders, and Han Yixian must have noticed everything she does, which has earned her the respect and love of her family. That's true wisdom.
After listening to her parents' words, Cui Yuting knew that they were doing it for her own good. She obediently replied, "Dad, Mom, I know what you said makes a lot of sense. Don't worry, I will study cooking and housework diligently during this time, and I will ask Sister Yuhan for advice whenever I have the chance."
Last time I told Sister Yuhan that I wanted to learn cooking from her, and she was very willing to teach me. I've already learned several dishes from her.
Bai Xiuyan nodded and said, "That's good. Although you plan to get married in the fall, it won't be long. Mom has already prepared some fabric for you to make a few clothes for your wedding."
Cui Yuting said, "Mom, Sister Yuhan said she will design my wedding dress and prepare the fabric for me as well, as a wedding gift for me."
Cui Yuting, clinging to her mother's arm, said, "Mom, Qihua gave me a watch a few days ago. Do you think I should take it?"
Bai Xiuyan looked at her daughter's guilty expression and asked in surprise, "When did you receive it? Why didn't you say so?"
Cui Yuting said somewhat guiltily, "I really liked that watch. Qihua said it was a birthday gift for me, so I accepted it. I was afraid you wouldn't let me keep it and would make me return it, so I didn't dare tell you."
Sister Yuhan also gave me a bracelet, which was also a birthday present. Qihua was there too, and he told me to accept it and wear it.
Bai Xiuyan tapped her daughter's forehead with her finger and said, "You child, how could you accept such valuable things? You didn't even tell us. What about the watch and bracelet? Bring them out so we can see them."
Cui Yuting reluctantly took the watch Yuan Qihua had given her and the bracelet He Yuhan had given her from her room.
When Cui Jiancheng and Bai Xiuyan saw that the watch was an imported brand-name watch, which cost several hundred yuan, they thought their son-in-law was really generous, giving away an imported watch as a gift.
Bai Xiuyan said, "Since Qihua sincerely gave it to you, you can accept it. However, our family should include this watch in their betrothal gifts. We'll take it with you to your husband's family in the future. We can't let them think that our family is greedy."
Cui Jiancheng said, "Let's take a look at the bracelet that Yuhan gave you."
Cui Yuting then took the bracelet out of a small box.
When Cui Jiancheng and his wife saw the bracelet, they were surprised. The bracelet was crystal clear, with a lustrous sheen and a bright green color that was pleasing to the eye. No wonder their daughter loved it so much.
Bai Xiuyan picked up the bracelet and examined it carefully, saying, "This bracelet is more valuable than that watch. You're really careless. You accepted such an expensive gift without even telling us. I think you're becoming more and more irresponsible."
Cui Yuting said with some grievance, "At the time, Sister Yuhan and her husband, as well as Qihua, all said that this bracelet wasn't worth much money and told me to wear it for fun. I didn't know anything about it and thought it really wasn't worth much money, so I accepted it. How was I supposed to know that this bracelet was so precious?"
Seeing his wife scolding their daughter, Cui Jiancheng advised, "Don't scold the child. I think Yuhan and Qihua genuinely wanted to give it to her, so let Yuting accept it. Making the child return it now would only seem distant."
"But Yuting, you can't show off these things outside. Don't cause trouble for the Han family."
Cui Yuting nodded and said, "I know, Dad. Qihua also told me privately that it's okay to wear the watch openly, but it's best to cover up the bracelet, just in case someone gets jealous."
Sun Xiaomei from our factory is incredibly vain. Her boyfriend bought her a scarf, and she bragged about it for ages. If she knew my boyfriend's family was giving her watches and bracelets as gifts, she'd be furious and definitely cause me trouble.
Cui Jiancheng snorted and said, "At such a young age, you don't work hard and you have such a strong competitive spirit. I'm afraid you're using all your energy on this. How can you do your job well?"
Bai Xiuyan said, "I know Sun Xiaomei from their factory. That girl is extremely vain, likes to be the best, and loves to compare herself to others. As the saying goes, one should marry a virtuous wife. Any family that marries her is really unlucky."
"Yuting, you mustn't follow her example. Countless people envy your marriage to Qihua, and many are hoping you break up with him so they can snatch this golden bachelor. After all, the Han and Yuan families aren't ordinary families, so you must be careful with your words and actions."
Cui Yuting listened attentively to her parents' earnest teachings, which all stemmed from their deep love for her.
She also knew that many people envied and were jealous of her marriage, and wished that her marriage would fall through.
She will definitely keep her parents' teachings in mind, maintain a good relationship with her husband's family, and successfully marry Yuan Qihua.
