When Cheng Tianyuan drove his old mother and son home, the sky was already very dark.
"It is expected that there will be heavy snow in the evening, so the car must pull over to avoid being unable to drive due to too much snow tomorrow."
Liu Ying didn't understand this and asked: "How to open it?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I will drive to the open space behind the community. There is a place to block it. You and Xiao Ranran get out of the car and go upstairs first."
"Hey!" Liu Ying got out of the car with Xiao Ranran in her arms and walked quickly around to the elevator entrance.
Cheng Tianyuan drove the car downstairs to the building where Liu Xing and the others lived, parked the car, took out the potatoes and potato starch inside, checked that nothing else was left behind, then closed the car door and locked the car.
He strode back and happened to see a thin woman walking around holding a bicycle - it was Wang Qing!
Cheng Tianyuan quickly greeted her.
Wang Qing also smiled and asked him, "I had a manuscript that I didn't finish earlier, so I went back to the newspaper office to deal with it. I didn't expect to come back so late!"
Cheng Tianyuan put the potatoes down, took out a net bag, and took out a dozen potatoes.
"This is a gift from Chen Min's sister-in-law's grandfather. It's a big bag. I heard it's delicious. It's rare to find it. I took some home to try."
Wang Qing was very embarrassed and refused to take it.
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "You're welcome, you and Lingling are good friends. This is a little potato, not valuable. It's a gift from friends, let's try something new. It's getting so late, and no one is opening a shop in the market. Let's just have a meal.
Bar."
After Wang Qing heard this, he accepted it generously.
"Thank you, thank you! I don't have time to go to the market to buy vegetables today. I have some dried meat at home and nothing else delicious. Fortunately, I met you. Thank you!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "Goodbye then, come to my house when you have time. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming here to celebrate the New Year this year. Ling Ling will be at home recently. If you have time on weekends, come and chat with her."
"Okay! I will definitely go there!" Wang Qing happily agreed.
Cheng Tianyuan turned around and left with the bag.
Wang Qing looked at his tall and tall back and narrowed his eyes for a moment.
Although he doesn't usually have the opportunity to interact with him, it is not difficult to see that Cheng Tianyuan is a calm and generous man, and his love and favor for Xue Ling are revealed in his words and actions.
I have to say that she really envied Xue Ling.
Not only do I envy her for having the courage to try and give up her stable job to go into business, but I also envy her for having such a good lover, who is considerate and generous, and most importantly, he is very family-oriented.
She often saw him going to the market to buy vegetables and meat, and she also heard Xue Ling say that he and her mother-in-law had always been the ones in charge of the cooking at home.
Xue Ling hardly has to do any housework at home, he does it all by himself.
Not only did he do a good job at housework, he also helped take care of the children. Xue Ling occasionally left home for a month or two, and Cheng Tianyuan took care of the children at night.
In contrast, when Liu Xing came home, she would cross her legs and wait to eat. After finishing her meal, she would put down her bowl and chopsticks and read a magazine or newspaper without ever thinking of helping.
He wants to work, he wants to make money, but she also wants to work.
When she comes home from work, she has to quickly cook and prepare three meals, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, clean the room, wash and hang clothes, and she does all the housework at home alone.
Liu Xing knew that she was working hard, but he never helped her and had no intention of helping her at all.
He lives like this when he is at home, and subconsciously believes that these are the responsibilities of his wife. He is a man, so he does not have to do housework.
Before she got married, her mother would prepare breakfast and dinner for her and ask her to eat them. Lunch was usually eaten at the newspaper office, and her mother would arrange all three meals at home on weekends. She didn't have to do anything except wash the dishes occasionally.
My mother takes care of all the hygiene and daily chores at home. She is only allowed to work hard and take the money home for household use.
After getting married, although they had their own small space, Liu Xing did nothing and she had to do all the housework at home.
She gets up early every day to make breakfast, wash the dishes and clear the table after eating, and then hurries to work at the newspaper office.
After returning from work, she has to rush to the market to buy groceries, go home to cook dinner, clean up the dishes after dinner, sweep and clean the kitchen, wash and hang clothes, and if the manuscript is not completed, she occasionally has to work overtime at night to read it.
After getting married, she felt like she had no time at all. In addition to work, there were heavy housework. Even weekends were filled with housework and no leisure at all.
Now she seems to be busy all the time except sleeping.
She used to have time to dress herself up and buy new clothes to look beautiful. Now she just wants to have some free time to read a book and have a good sleep.
This winter, she didn't even have time to buy cream. The wind was blowing in the north, and her cheeks ached.
She dragged her steps slowly to the elevator door and let out a long sigh without realizing it.
Sometimes I feel that it would be better not to get married than to get married...
The elevator door opened, she walked out with the potatoes, took out her key and opened the door.
Liu Xing has returned home and is sitting on the sofa tinkering with his camera.
"Go back? Why so late?" he asked without looking up.
Wang Qing said softly: "I went to revise the manuscript earlier, and it's already this time that I finished it."
Liu Xing said angrily: "Go and cook quickly, I'm already hungry!"
Wang Qing threw down her satchel with a sullen face, turned around and walked to the kitchen.
"The weather was too bad, and all the stores were closed when we went to the market. Fortunately, we met Ling Ling's lover just now and gave us a bag of potatoes as a gift."
Liu Xing shouted excitedly: "I haven't eaten potatoes for a long time! Fry a plate of shredded potatoes and eat them! Another plate of fried potato chips!"
Wang Qing put the potatoes down and found that his hands were blue and blue from the cold.
She rubbed it - and was surprised to find that her palms were rough!
In the past, she only held a pen and rarely did menial work. After getting married, she washed clothes and washed dishes. She didn't even apply cream on her hands in the winter, and her hands were cracked.
Her eyes were red, she sniffed and pushed back the tears.
Then, she rubbed her hands to warm them, took out the potatoes and peeled them.
Liu Xing said outside the living room: "It's been cold these days, and the photo studio has not had much business. I took Xiaoli to see Tongzi at noon today, and the three of them found a restaurant to eat noodles. They were very full!"
Wang Qing's movement of peeling potatoes stopped and he frowned.
Xiaoli is a worker employed by the new photo studio, and is usually responsible for entertaining guests and collecting and processing photos. The woman is about seventeen or eighteen years old, very pretty, and loves to talk and laugh.
The only bad thing about her is that she is too frivolous.
Wang Qing asked angrily: "You went to find Tong Zi, and what are you taking her for? If you two leave, who will look after the store?"
Liu Xing shrugged and replied: "There is no business anyway, so just close the door. Xiaoli likes Tongzi's program very much and always begs me to take her to find Tongzi. If I want to go there, I will take her with me."
Wang Qing felt angry for no reason and didn't want to speak anymore.
However, Liu Xing seemed very happy and continued: "Xiao Li is a very lively girl. With her around, the atmosphere is always very good. Tong Zi and I finally ordered a pot of wine and drank several glasses each. Oh! Unexpectedly
Xiaoli actually knows how to drink, and her drinking capacity is very good. One drink after another, she is better than Tongzi and I! Tsk tsk! You really can’t tell a person’s face! I can’t even drink her! Haha!”
"Bang!" An unusual sound came from the kitchen!
Liu Xing raised his head suspiciously and asked: "Ah Qing, what's wrong?"
Wang Qing replied angrily: "The potato fell! I lost it!"
Liu Xing casually added: "Hold it carefully, but don't cut your own hand." After that, he continued to tinker with the camera.
Wang Qing's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and continued peeling potatoes.
