The next morning, Su Nan got up early and helped Lin Yuemei make breakfast using ingredients from home.
"This kitchen is really nice, bright and ventilated." Lin Yuemei picked up the chopped green onions on the chopping board, looked them up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and felt that cooking here was a pleasure.
Su Nan glanced at the scenery outside the window, and after listening to Lin Yuemei's words, a smile appeared on his lips: "But I still don't like cooking."
"Wow, you just take advantage of Zhou Rang's love and pampering of you. Look at other people's daughters-in-law, which one doesn't stay in the kitchen? If you can't cook, your mother-in-law will point at your back and scold you." Lin Yuemei said as she took the egg from Su Nan's hand. She was afraid that the girl would accidentally break it, which would be such a waste.
Hearing this, Su Nan did not argue with Lin Yuemei, because she knew that this was the conservative concept of the current society, but it did not mean that she would compromise, so she said it half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Oh, that's because you and my dad have treated me like a princess since I was a child. We don't even let me cook at home, so how could you bear to let me cook at someone else's house?"
"Besides, after marriage, I won't live with my mother-in-law and her family." Su Nan said as she took the boiled water next to her and made a cup of hot tea for Su Qiangguo.
"Don't say it, I, your mother, really can't bear to leave you." Lin Yuemei sighed softly, looking at Su Nan's cheerful back. When she thought about marrying her off after she gave birth, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"If you can't bear to do it, my dad must be reluctant too." Su Nan poured boiling water into the teapot, and then poured a cup of pure boiling water into the glass in front of Su Yang.
"I can't bear to leave my daughter." Su Qiangguo poured himself a cup of tea happily and smiled.
Hearing this, Su Nan looked at Su Yang who was reading a magazine beside him: "Hey, Yangyang, what do you think?"
"My thoughts are the same as my parents'. My sister is enjoying herself when she comes down from the kitchen. She can go in if she wants to, and she can stay out of it if she doesn't want to. Anyway, I don't think my brother-in-law is the kind of person who would force my sister to go into the kitchen to cook."
"Besides, my sister and brother-in-law are so rich, just like the director of our father's factory, they can hire a nanny to help with cooking." Su Yang held the magazine in his arms, blinked his big eyes, and answered honestly.
"That's right, if you have money, you can do anything. You don't study hard, and your ranking in the second grade has dropped again. If you drop again next time, be careful of your father's bamboo whip." Su Qiangguo made a beating gesture with a stern face. You know what, it's quite intimidating.
But Su Yang was not afraid at all, and said with his neck stiff, "Just wait and see, I will definitely be second next semester."
"Why second? Don't you strive for first place?" Su Nan became interested and asked with a smile, hugging her chest.
"I..." Su Yang's guilty eyes were scattered everywhere, and he said "I" for a long time but couldn't make any clear words.
"Heh, this kid always comes in second. He'll never be able to beat that girl in his class. This time, she's still in first place, but he's already dropped to sixth place. I wonder what he's doing in school all day."
Lin Yuemei came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of scrambled eggs with chopped green onions and snorted coldly, obviously unhappy with Su Yang's declining performance.
Su Nan looked at Su Yang, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Without thinking, he blurted out: "Are you in a relationship?"
As soon as the words fell, Su Yang jumped up from the sofa like a cat with its tail stepped on, his face flushed red, and he hurriedly denied it: "Sister, don't slander me, when did I fall in love?"
"Why are you so excited? I just said it casually." Seeing his expression, Su Nan was half sure of what she was thinking. But when she saw Xiao Lu looking at Su Yang with suspicion, she decided to help this silly brother.
"How could any girl like Su Yang, such a stupid guy?" Su Nan waved his hand and helped Lin Yuemei serve porridge to everyone.
"Yes, who would like me." Su Yang said this, a trace of loneliness flashed between his eyebrows.
"Bullshit, last time a little girl stopped him to hand him a love letter. Although your brother is a little stupid, he looks like me and is quite handsome." Su Qiangguo stood up and pinched Su Yang's face, making a rare joke.
"It's obviously from our mother." Su Yang rubbed his face which was pinched red in disgust and retorted unhappily.
"Hi." Su Qiangguo rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward to deal with Su Yang, but was interrupted by Lin Yuemei: "You two, stop making trouble and come over to have breakfast. Nan Nan has to go pick up Xiao Zhou later."
"That's right, they're so grown up now." Su Nan looked at Su Qiangguo and Su Yang who came over arm in arm with amusement. He felt that as the children grew up, the parents became more childish.
The family sat at the dining table to eat breakfast. Su Nan glanced at Su Yang, who was concentrating on his meal, and casually asked Lin Yuemei, who was sitting next to him, "That guy in their class who always gets first place in the exams must be aiming for one of the top universities in the country, right?"
"Of course, otherwise why would she study so hard? I heard Su Yang's class teacher tell me that after school every day, the girl comes home and, apart from eating and going to the toilet, she spends all her time reading and doing exercises. She's really hardworking." Lin Yuemei sighed twice with some emotion.
Hearing this, Su Nan looked at Su Yang, and sure enough, he saw that the boy had stopped eating.
"Then Su Yang has to learn from the girl. Although he doesn't need to put so much pressure on himself, he should at least ensure that his grades are steadily improving, right? I tell you, people always look forward. Just like finding a partner, no girl wants to date a guy who is worse than herself, right?"
"That's right, study harder. Don't go out to play ball with your classmates as soon as school is over and you can't even see anyone." Lin Yuemei glanced at the rim of Su Yang's bowl with her chopsticks.
"I understand." Su Yang nodded and took two mouthfuls of porridge thoughtfully.
"What's wrong with playing ball? It helps you exercise and grow taller. Look at how tall our son is." Su Qiangguo pointed at Su Yang with his chin while peeling a boiled egg.
"That's all about studying. This kid used to shout every day that he wanted to go to the same university with his sister. Look, has he gotten in with his current grades?" Lin Yuemei was furious when she saw Su Qiangguo's attitude of favoring Su Yang.
Whose mother doesn't want her son to become a dragon and her daughter to become a phoenix? Now that her daughter is so successful and has brought honor to the family, she must want her son to follow her sister's example and work hard to climb up.
"I will focus on studying when I get there. I will definitely be the first and become your junior in high school!" Su Yang stood up suddenly and nodded firmly.
Seeing this, the sudden scene scared the other three people. When they heard Su Yang's ambitious words, they all applauded and cheered.
"We believe in you and support you."
