On the weekend, Xue Huan brought his girlfriend Linna to Oriental Garden.
Xue Heng went to the trade fair with Cheng Tianyuan these days, and had almost three meals at Cheng's house.
Xue’s father and mother both agreed with them to set their sights further and supported them in going to trade fairs to get to know more of their seniors and peers.
In the evening, Xue Heng heard that his younger brother and his girlfriend were going home, so he came back earlier with Cheng Tianyuan and took away a plate of braised pork belly and a plate of steamed rice cakes from Chengjiashun.
Mrs. Chen cooked a few dishes. Xue Zhilan was originally on duty today. Thinking that it was rare for the family to get together, she secretly changed shifts with her colleagues and helped clean the house early this morning, and even helped with the cooking.
After Xue Huan and Linna arrived, Mrs. Chen even took the initiative to say hello and asked Xue Huan to make Kung Fu tea.
Linna just coldly called "Auntie" in Chinese, and then sat in the living room and read the newspaper.
Xue Huan went in to say hello to his parents. The three of them chatted happily about life and work.
He saw that his parents were busy washing vegetables and cooking, but his girlfriend was not touching the water, and he secretly felt that this was not possible.
He quietly walked out and whispered to his girlfriend: "We are having dinner at home tonight. You go in and help out and do whatever work you can."
Linna's expression was very bad, and she hummed: "I don't like cooking! Why don't you go out to eat? Not to mention the hard work of cooking, you have to wash a lot of dishes after eating."
She usually eats either in the school canteen or outside.
The students in the school all regard this beautiful foreign teacher as a god-like being. They flatter her wherever she goes, and some even go out of their way to please her.
Students and colleagues often invite her to eat, and when they see her, they usually take the initiative to invite her to eat.
Lina enjoyed supreme treatment in school and also liked an environment where she was valued, flattered and flattered by others.
After more than half a year, she had become accustomed to it, and she arrogantly believed that others should serve her and treat her well because of her completely different face and noble white blood.
She said matter-of-factly: "They are doing it anyway, so let them do it. I can't do it, and I don't want to do it. By the way, I won't wash the dishes when I'm full. If your parents want to do the housework, let them do it."
They will do it themselves. We will leave as soon as we are full. I don’t want to talk to them here for too long.”
Xue Huan felt annoyed when he heard this, and the idea that she was a "noble" got to his head again.
"This is my place, and you should do it according to our traditional way. Here, only the daughter-in-law serves the parents-in-law to cook and eat. No one waits for the elders to serve as a matter of course. My parents are very open-minded and think that the family
Everyone has to bear the burden of the work together. Since you want to marry me and become a part of my family, you have to do it according to my family's way."
"I'm marrying you, but I'm not marrying into your family." Lina muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm different from you, and it's not like they don't know. Why should I accommodate your family?"
"You - do you want to marry me?" Xue Huan got angry and said harshly: "If you want to, then you must respect my parents and our family's way of life. Respect your elders, this is what you should do.
Bar!"
"That's me." Lina raised her chin and said in a deep voice: "I will only live with you. As long as you and I respect each other, why should we involve your parents? Your family is your family, and you are an adult.
Why do you always have to get involved with them? You are grown up and independent, so you can only come back once or twice occasionally."
Xue Huan knew that her cultural concepts were different from his own, and he was angry and helpless.
"I thought you had adapted to our environment in the past six months in the imperial capital. I didn't expect that you still have so many concepts that you haven't adapted to! What did I tell you back then? You have to do as the Romans do!"
"I'm doing well in the Foreign Languages School now." Linna curled her lips and said, "Everyone respects me, and I'm adapting very well!"
Xue Huan let out a tired breath and didn't want to talk anymore.
Forget it, it's only been half a year now, maybe in another year and a half, or in a few years she will be able to change.
At least she can work here easily and has a working environment she likes, which is a big improvement.
I am busy with work and scientific research every day, and I only have time to contact her on weekends.
It's a rare opportunity for two people to get together and eat together as a family, so don't make a fuss or make your parents unhappy.
Linna snorted softly on the tip of her nose, blaming him for not accompanying her and making her feel too lonely.
Xue Huan thought for a while and said: "We both have to work during the day. I live in the hospital now and you live in the school. It's difficult to get together like this. When we save money, we will buy a small apartment at the end of the year. Then we can go to work in the evening.
Go back and live there so that you can eat well, take a walk, and stay together in the evening."
Linna couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean? The end of the year? It's only February now!"
"Then let's see if we can do it in half a year." Xue Huan said.
At this time, Xue Heng came back with the "victory gift" he brought back from the Cheng family and showed off to his younger brother.
"Look! Does it smell good? I've been going to my brother-in-law's house for three meals a day recently, and my life is so happy! I feel that the pleasure of oral pleasure has brought me to the peak of my meal!"
Xue Huan's eyes were bright, and he quickly found chopsticks and took a bite. Soon he couldn't stop using chopsticks.
"I had a meal at my brother-in-law's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. I will never forget it afterward! It was delicious! It was so delicious!"
Xue Heng suppressed a laugh: "My mother's cooking skills are really mediocre. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to eat tonight, so I quickly ordered two extra dishes."
Linna didn't quite understand what they were saying. She smelled the braised meat and found it fragrant, so she quickly came over and took a few bites.
Xue Huan introduced that it was brought from Cheng Tianyuan's family, "My cousin, that very beautiful and tall woman, was holding a child in her hands at that time, do you remember?"
Linna suddenly remembered and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that if she married in the country, she would have a lot of children, right? Such a woman is really pathetic! She is treated as a child-birth machine."
Xue Heng frowned and said in a deep voice: "She is giving birth, but no one dares to think that she is a machine for giving birth. Don't look down on others. My cousin has earned more than 10 million in the past few years, and now she plans to invest.
That’s the best land in the city center to build a large shopping mall!”
Xue Huan was dumbfounded and asked: "So much? How much does one person earn? What kind of business does she earn it from?"
Linna's face looked a little sad and she continued to eat.
Xue Heng replied: "She opened a joint venture with others to open a sweater factory, and also cooperated with others to invest in a real estate. She made a lot of money last year, but she was very low-key and did not say it at all. I heard her investment cost and profit
, I can probably guess it.”
"Tsk tsk!" Xue Huan is a person who lives with a few hundred yuan. When he heard the astronomical figure of more than 10 million, he couldn't help but admire: "My cousin is really a woman who cannot be compared to other women!"
