"It's not expensive, it's what I deserve." Xiao Yuanxu looked at the gift on the table, still very dissatisfied. It was all his fault. If he had paid more attention, he wouldn't have prepared it in such a hurry.
"Heheiye, please entertain me. I still have a few dishes to prepare." Su's mother was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. She was still smelling of the marinade because she had just been making braised meat.
Xiao Yuanxu, who had just sat down, stood up again and said, "Grandma, let me help you."
"No, no, it's your first time here, there's no reason for me to let you do anything."
But Xiao Yuanxu acted as if he didn't hear it. He rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.
Ever since he met Erya at the police station, the first thing he did every day after work was to ask his father for advice on how to deal with his father-in-law's family. More watching, more doing, less talking, and you'll never go wrong.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Su's mother just let him go.
Xiao Yuanxu did not disappoint her. He was good at picking and washing vegetables, and his knife skills were even better. He cut each piece of chicken into even thickness.
Seeing that the fish had not been killed, he volunteered to take over the job of killing the fish.
"Does Xiao Xiao often do housework at home?" asked Su's mother.
It would be best if both the young couple could do housework. Life is all about food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Only by helping each other can they live a prosperous life.
"It's okay, but as long as I'm at home, I do all the work." Xiao Yuanxu replied.
"Really? Then you are really hardworking. You said you work at the police station, and you can cook and clean the house. Your parents are really lucky." The first rule of chatting among the elderly is to praise first, lay the groundwork, and lay the groundwork.
"Grandma is even more blessed. When I saw you at the police station that day, I thought you were Erya's peer."
There is no woman who doesn't like to hear people compliment her on her youth.
Mother Su grinned from ear to ear, "A lot of people say that when Erya and I go out, we don't look like grandmothers at all. We look like big sisters."
Most rural families have many children.
The older ones have already started getting married and having children, while the younger ones are still crying in their cradles, and it is common for them to be 20 or 30 years older than their parents.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that Erya is the big sister.
"If Erya hadn't called you grandma, I wouldn't have believed it." Xiao Yuanxu was unwilling to be left behind and continued to pour out compliments.
"Oh, Xiao Xiao, you are so sweet and handsome. You must be very popular among the girls in the station." The second rule of chatting among the elderly is to make indirect inquiries and find out the enemy's situation.
Xiao Yuanxu's heart was filled with alarm.
"Then I'm not sure. I don't know many female colleagues. I only know a few female staff members in the cafeteria. The team I lead is made up of men."
"Is that so? I also told you to introduce me to any good female colleagues you know. There are two single young men in my family. Especially your brother Qianshan, he is 23 years old, a few months older than you, and he has been single since birth. In the countryside, at his age, his children would already be helping out with the housework." The third rule of chatting among the elderly is to keep digging holes and wait for an opportunity to close the net.
