His concessions were just self-pity; when he didn't have the ability, his wife suffered with him.
When he had the ability, he didn't dare to face it, and his wife still suffered with him.
If he doesn't have it, so be it. He could have it, it was his to begin with, why should he give it up?
It would be foolish of him not to fight for it; wouldn't that just be playing into the hands of the Wei family?
"Wife, once Grandpa finds out, if they want to see me, I want to see them," Wei Baichuan said earnestly to his wife.
He made a swift decision: he would wait and see how they reacted.
“Okay.” Suti looked at Wei Baichuan in surprise. She had said she would support his decision and would agree with whatever he did.
Is he trying to acknowledge those people? But we don't know what the situation is over there yet, so Suti didn't try to persuade him.
She was afraid that if Wei Baichuan wanted to acknowledge her later, the other side wouldn't, which would be another blow to him.
"Let's go have lunch first, and then go see a movie together in the afternoon, and also take a stroll in People's Park."
Suti wasn't familiar with this area, but she knew everything about Shanghai, so she figured this place would be pretty much the same.
I'll go to the department store to buy things tomorrow, and then I'll call my grandparents. Suti has made all the arrangements.
“Okay.” Wei Baichuan had no objections. He had originally just wanted to bring his wife for a stroll, so he was happy as long as she was happy.
He could sense that she was more comfortable in the city than when she was working in the mud every day in Yangliu Brigade.
When the two arrived at the state-run restaurant, having learned from their previous experience, Wei Baichuan quickly shielded his wife behind him.
Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the staff at the state-run restaurant, he was afraid they would bully his wife.
"Comrades, what would you like to eat?" The waiter standing behind the counter was startled when he saw Wei Baichuan.
Are they here to cause trouble?
"We'd like a serving of stir-fried pork with green peppers, stewed chicken with potatoes, braised eggplant, a three-delicacy soup, and four meat pies."
Seeing that he had frightened Wei Baichuan, Su Ti quickly pulled him aside, reminding him that people are different.
Not all waiters in state-run restaurants are rude.
"Pay first and you'll get a ticket." The man glanced at Suti; the two of them had quite a few things they wanted.
Although he didn't look like someone who couldn't afford to eat, that man was definitely not someone to mess with.
Suti gave them grain coupons and money, and then the man wrote out a note and handed them a wooden plaque.
Seeing that there were already quite a few people inside, Su Ti pulled Wei Baichuan to find an empty seat and sat down.
"Honey, I'll tell you what you want to eat next time. You don't have to always stand in front of me; I can protect you too."
I don't know when it started, but his wife has always been quietly supporting him.
He used to endure both the good and the bad alone, but now his wife, with her small frame, is bearing everything for him.
"..."
Suti remained silent for a long time. She herself hadn't realized it until Wei Baichuan pointed it out, and then she realized that she seemed to be right.
She was afraid that Wei Baichuan would be wronged, afraid that she couldn't protect him, and wanted to give him a good life.
But she forgot that she herself was also spoiled at home growing up.
She is not omnipotent, and Wei Baichuan is not so fragile that he cannot withstand the slightest hardship. She needs to learn to let go appropriately.
“Okay, you can come from now on.” Suti looked at him with a smile. Her man was very smart and could handle everything outside.
She'll step in when it really comes down to using her brain and scheming; she doesn't need to worry about dealing with people at all.
"Yes, honey, if there's anything I've done wrong, please point it out. I accept criticism and will correct it."
Wei Baichuan was very happy that his wife trusted him. He didn't have that kind of male chauvinism, nor did he feel that it was shameful for his wife to be in charge of the household.
He likes his wife to manage him, and he doesn't think it's shameful. He would be a fool to hurt his wife's feelings for the sake of so-called face.
Besides, one earns their own reputation. His wife controls him because she cares about him; otherwise, why wouldn't she control others?
He just didn't want his wife to be so tired. She was a pampered darling at home, and marrying him meant she had to constantly worry and toil.
That's his fault; he's incompetent.
"His attitude deserves praise," Suti commended.
As the two were talking, someone called out that the dishes were being served. Nowadays, state-run restaurants don't really have any service.
Wei Baichuan quickly brought over several dishes, handed his wife a pie, and set out the bowls and chopsticks before sitting down to eat.
The food at the state-run restaurants in the county town was much better than that in the commune, and the portions were also much more generous.
Su Ti had big eyes but a small stomach. He ate a pie and some vegetables and was full. Wei Baichuan ate the rest.
They took the last pie with them, and after the two came out of the state-run restaurant, Suti took Wei Baichuan to People's Park.
Watching him calmly buy tickets, talk to others and ask for directions, the journey went smoothly, leaving her with no opportunity to use her skills.
It turns out she doesn't have to be at the forefront in everything; she can just relax and enjoy herself.
"Honey, here you go. Try it and see if it tastes good. Don't throw this bottle away; we'll have to return it later."
Wei Baichuan handed the soda he bought at the park entrance to Suti, noticing a long line of people waiting outside.
Most of them were children, and their eyes were full of anticipation, so this must be a good thing.
"This is soda, why don't you buy a bottle?" Sutti pulled the person to the door.
He only thinks about her in everything he does; he can't do without her in his heart.
Wei Baichuan saw his wife pulling him and knew what she wanted to do, looking at her with a happy expression.
How could he not love his wife? No one else would ever care about him like she does.
Love is always mutual; one-sided giving will eventually lead to exhaustion.
The two of them each held a bottle of soda and drank with satisfaction, their faces filled with warmth in each other's hearts and love when they glanced at each other unintentionally.
They weren't drinking soda; they were drinking sweet love.
"Mom, I want to drink too! I want to drink too!" A little child was extremely envious of Su Ti and Wei Baichuan's satisfied expressions as they drank.
It looked delicious, and the man was sitting on the ground, crying and rolling around, grabbing a woman's trouser leg.
"Haven't you ever had soda before? You two adults are so craving it." The woman, unable to resist the children's nagging, had no choice but to buy a bottle.
Judging from their appearance, it's obvious they're drinking soda; anyone who didn't know better would think they're drinking some kind of magic potion or super hydrating drink.
"Can't adults drink? We're much younger than you." Without letting Su Ti step forward, Wei Baichuan looked at the people coldly.
He learned it from his wife: to find a sore spot and argue with people until they win; if they can't win, they argue; if they can't win, they frame them.
The woman stared at the man, dumbfounded. How could a grown man have the nerve to argue with a woman like her?
The key point is that there was a woman behind them smiling broadly.
"Hmph." The woman dared not speak. She wouldn't be afraid of a woman, but she was afraid of being beaten by a man.
