Chapter 144 If all else fails, abandon your two children!
Zeng Cheng touched Zhao Qianqian's smooth back and asked softly, "Qianqian, when I came back this time, I saw that my mother-in-law always looked depressed. Did something bad happen at home?"
His eyes were fixed on Zhao Qianqian's beautiful and slightly tired face, hoping to get an answer from her.
"Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"
The man frowned: "I really don't know."
His originally deep and sharp eyes now became a little confused.
Zhao Qianqian raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Pretend, my mother is in a bad mood, it's all because of you!"
There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in her tone.
When the man heard that he was the culprit, he became much more energetic.
He hurriedly defended himself, "Don't slander a good person! I was always on duty in the army and never even showed up in front of my mother-in-law. How could it be me?"
"But this time you are here to take away her beloved daughter and her two favorite grandchildren."
In fact, it’s not just Zhao’s mother.
Zhao Qianqian was also a little at a loss.
She knew she was going to join the army.
I even know that I have been with the army for a few months.
But I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Zhao Qianqian was still very nervous about the upcoming military life.
After all, it will be a completely unfamiliar environment and experience!
And there was no one to help her with housework and take care of her two children.
If it were for other reasons, Zeng Cheng might have backed down.
But he was asked to hand over Zhao Qianqian and their two children.
That's absolutely impossible!
Zhao's mother wanted her daughter and grandson to be with her.
But similarly.
Doesn't Zeng Cheng also want to have a sweet and soft wife by his side, and watch his lively and clever children laughing and playing in front of him?
This desire is exactly the same as Zhao's mother's, but their stance is completely opposite.
If he was forced to hand over one.
Zeng Cheng chose to hand over his two children.
After all, he is a child and I can’t sleep with him!
Anyway, Zeng Cheng was thinking: "If I really can't coax my mother-in-law, then I won't take my two children with me to join the army."
The next day.
Since I can't leave Qianqian and my two children behind.
But as a good son-in-law, he doesn't want to offend his mother-in-law.
So.
When the first ray of sunlight just shone on the earth, Zeng Cheng got up early.
He tiptoed into the yard and saw Zhao's mother sweeping the ground with a broom.
Zeng Cheng didn't say anything, hurried forward, took the dustpan full of garbage from Zhao's mother, and walked towards the garbage dump outside the yard.
When he comes back.
I found that Zhao's mother had already started preparing breakfast. She was busy washing and cutting vegetables skillfully and in an orderly manner.
Zeng Cheng saw this.
This is his time to please his mother-in-law again!
So he quickly walked to the stove and sat down, picked up the firewood beside him, stuffed it into the stove, and carefully lit the fire.
The fire grew stronger, and the warm flames illuminated Zeng Cheng's serious and focused face. He muttered to himself, "I must perform well and make my mother-in-law happy!"
All morning.
Zeng Chengdu followed Zhao's mother's footsteps closely like a hardworking little bee.
Wherever help is needed, he will appear immediately.
Even Xu Jing couldn't help.
Because Zeng Cheng took over all the work that Xu Jing was supposed to do.
Just when Xu Jing also wanted to help.
But Zhao Qianqian stopped her: "Sister-in-law, if he wants to do it, just let him do it. When our family of four leaves, my mother will still need you to take care of her!"
Actually speaking of this.
Zhao Qianqian felt quite embarrassed.
Originally, she really disliked Xu Jing.
But she didn't expect that in the end, the only one Zhao's mother could count on was her little daughter-in-law.
At this moment.
Zhao Qianqian seemed to understand as well.
Why do people in rural areas prefer boys to girls?
There are still many differences between daughters and sons.
One of the important factors is the influence of traditional concepts. People often believe that only sons can carry on the family line and continue the family bloodline.
But from the actual situation.
There are indeed many differences between daughters and sons.
No matter how outstanding and well-behaved a daughter is, once the time comes for her to get married, she will have to marry into another family and live in her husband's family from then on.
As a result, it is often not easy to meet with your parents' family.
There are thousands of mountains and rivers between them, and there are all kinds of family trivial matters to deal with. Going back to your parents' home may require careful arrangement of time and coordination of matters with all parties.
However, the son and daughter-in-law are completely different.
Even if they don't have particularly outstanding abilities or are not filial enough, at least they are still by our side and we can see each other often.
For many older rural people, the psychological comfort brought by this kind of daily companionship far outweighs whether their children are excellent or filial.
after all.
The maintenance of family affection does not only depend on material conditions or external expressions, but more on the warm feeling that accompanies you at all times!
At least my son and daughter-in-law are in their own home.
Once something happens to you.
For example, when you are sick and need someone to take care of you, or when you quarrel with others, you need your son's support.
Sons and daughters-in-law are the ones who help the elderly the most.
Of course, this situation only applies to the majority of cases.
There are some exceptions.
For example, my daughter is looking for a son-in-law who lives with her family.
For example, the son and daughter-in-law are both very unfilial people, and the daughter-in-law even bullies and beats her mother-in-law all day long.
But exceptions are exceptions.
You can't deny it.
Especially in rural areas in the 1980s.
Then the son is very important.
If your family doesn't have a son, you will even be looked down upon and ridiculed by the villagers.
In serious cases, the entire family may be wiped out.
From this perspective alone, it is natural for parents to love their sons and daughters-in-law more!
Zhao Qianqian was about to leave with Zeng Cheng.
Everything else is fine.
The only thing that worried her was Zhao's mother's shop which had not yet officially opened.
I was originally planning to give them a final round of training before the opening.
But it was too late.
In two or three days.
She is about to leave.
So Zhao Qianqian asked her mother to try out the business first and taught her some issues about opening the business.
After she leaves.
Zhao's mother can choose a new date and reopen the business.
The trial operation went very smoothly.
Because what Zhao Qianqian taught her mother was Haidilao's business philosophy.
As long as you come to eat, there will be free fruits or various snacks.
This thoughtful treatment makes every guest who comes to dine feel particularly surprised and satisfied.
Not only that, Zhao Qianqian also introduced the membership system to Zhao's mother in detail.
She told Zhao's mother that by recharging only 10 yuan, customers could become VIP members of the store and enjoy an attractive 12% discount.
Such measures undoubtedly attracted more repeat customers and increased customers' loyalty to the restaurant.
certainly.
Due to time constraints.
Zhao Qianqian could only teach the best she could.
But for Zhao's mother and Xu Jing.
Whether they can fully absorb these valuable experiences and apply them to actual operations depends on their own learning ability and level of comprehension.
