Soon, all the dishes were served.
Director Du raised his glass and spoke in official language. He first thanked Pei Tingyu for saving his daughter's life, and then asked everyone present to take good care of his daughter. Then he drank first as a sign of sincerity.
Pei Tingyu shook the red wine glass in his hand, responded with a faint smile, and began to concentrate on feeding his wife.
He knows exactly what Si Yang likes to eat.
As long as she liked the food on the table, he would put a piece of it into her bowl with his chopsticks.
"Yiyayaya..." Little Yubao was in his father's arms, grabbing the chopsticks and the rice bowl, and Pei Tingyu was unable to defend himself.
Seeing this, Si Yang gave him a small piece of yam steamed cake that she had made specially for him, which made him calm down.
Little Yubao grabbed the yam cake with his chubby little paws and stuffed it into his mouth, almost getting it stuck in his nose several times.
Seeing this, Du Yue became more certain of her guess. The captain's wife was indeed lazy and selfish. She let the man hold the child while eating, while she only cared about enjoying herself.
She suppressed her jealousy and tried to soften her tone, saying, "Madam, the child is still young. You can't let him eat by himself like this. What if he chokes? If you really don't have time, why don't I hold him and feed him? It's not convenient for a male comrade like Captain Pei to hold a child while he eats."
Si Yang is so smart. Isn't Du Yue's tea-scented speech a satire on her being unvirtuous while showing that Du Yue herself is kind and virtuous?
She slowly put down her chopsticks, gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief beside the table, and then smiled and said, "Comrade Du Yue is still young, so it's understandable that she lacks common sense about scientific child-rearing. I won't hold it against you. But I heard that the Du family is engaged in education, and they should have long since abandoned the feudal dogma of the old society that men are superior to women. Why do you think that letting a man hold a child while eating is unvirtuous for a woman?"
As soon as Si Yang finished speaking, everyone at the table fell silent. Du Yue's face froze. She had not expected that Si Yang would directly expose her intentions and even blame her family for the failure of education!
For a moment, both father and daughter were very embarrassed. Father Du was about to open his mouth to explain for his daughter when he heard Pei Tingyu speak:
"Comrade Du Yue, if you don't understand other families' situations, it's better not to speculate. Raising children is the joint obligation of husband and wife, not just the woman's responsibility! The rule in my family is to let my wife eat first. I'm happy with it, and my son is happy with it too, and that's all that matters."
When little Yubao heard his father talking, he smacked his lips, tilted his head back to glance at him, then happily wiggled his little feet and turned to look at his mother. His eyes curved in a smile, as if he was acknowledging his father's words.
Du Yue felt even more embarrassed when she saw the expressions on the faces of the three members of the family interacting with each other.
Father Du secretly tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to be more restrained and not embarrass herself.
"Captain Pei is right. Taking care of children is not just for women. Fathers should also shoulder their responsibilities. Children can only grow better with the joint care of both parents."
Pei Tingyu raised his glass towards Du's father and said, "Director Du is indeed an educator. Well said."
Du Yue secretly held her breath. Since they were willing to fight and be beaten, she would find other ways to expose this selfish and vain woman.
"Captain's wife, I'm sorry for offending you just now! I'll toast you a glass to apologize." Du Yue stood up and poured a glass of red wine into the glass in front of Si Yang.
But before Si Yang could express his opinion, Pei Tingyu took the wine away and said, "My wife has to breastfeed the baby, so she can't drink. I'll drink this for her."
After Pei Tingyu finished speaking, he drank half a glass of red wine in a heroic manner.
Du Yue was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to get Si Yang drunk and then lead her to reveal her true nature, but it seemed that this trick would not work. She forgot that Si Yang was still breastfeeding.
Since that’s the case, we can only find other ways to make Si Yang appear.
"Madam Commander, your hands are so white. I wonder what brand of vanishing cream you use. Please introduce it to me. My hands have been very rough since I joined the army." Du Yue said while showing a pair of scarred hands, and approached Si Yang pitifully.
Si Yang glanced at her calmly and said, "It's the most common Haicheng brand. You can try it."
