After the reunion dinner, Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Heng helped clear the table.
Xue Ling accompanied San Bo and Xue Huan while making tea and watching TV.
Cheng Tianyuan is used to doing housework, and his movements are very fast, skillful and effective.
Xue Heng, on the other hand, acted clumsily and the dishes clinked.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "It's been a while since you guys went out to eat independently, why do you still look like you're not good at work? Is it possible that A Fang can do all the housework by herself?"
As far as he knew, his sister had to work during the day and occasionally had to be on duty at night. How could she do all the breakfast, dinner and all the cleaning at home by herself?
Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "I have work to do...cleaning, mopping the floor and so on."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "You rarely cook at home, right?"
Xue Heng told the truth: "I occasionally come here to eat, and at other times I usually eat at the back of the shopping mall downstairs. The TV station is busy at the end of the year, so she often has to work overtime, and I basically eat at the factory."
"Hmm." Cheng Tianyuan was not surprised and asked, "I guess the house hasn't been cleaned for a long time, right?"
Xue Heng smiled bitterly.
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why do you live like this? Do you think this is good?"
Xue Heng shrugged: "There is no way, this is the only way for the time being. I am working hard for my career now, and when I have a child, I can't do this anymore. I can't hold my child and wander around looking for a restaurant to eat every day."
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "You have been married for three years."
"Yes." Xue Heng explained: "It was the third anniversary a few days ago."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and whispered: "Now that we are living together, we can be rougher and do whatever we want. When we have children, we can't always be like this."
Xue Heng didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed softly.
"... We don't know why, but we still don't have a child. When I told her, she said it was putting pressure on her. But I am already in my thirties, and she is almost thirty, and if she continues later, she will be an advanced maternal age."
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes moved slightly and explained: "After the New Year, I will ask Lingling to talk about her."
"Okay." Xue Heng seemed to see the light, "Actually, mom said she was the most suitable, but she would also scold her. Her career is getting better and better, and her self-esteem is getting stronger. She is no longer what she used to be.
Little girl, when her mother scolds her, she feels uncomfortable. When she feels uncomfortable, she naturally can't listen to anything. Ling Ling has better control in this aspect. She also respects Ling Ling in her heart, so Ling Ling is the most suitable."
Cheng Tianyuan knows his girl quite well.
"Afang is not bad in nature, but she has laziness in her bones. If she is not treated more strictly, she will become lazy and always feel very good about herself. Maybe the environment must be harsher on her, otherwise she will not be able to change. You and
Your parents were very good to her, so she became proud of them."
"Is there any?" Xue Heng laughed softly.
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at him and brushed the pot loudly.
"Do you think I'm joking? Do you? She is my sister, and I am just a sister. Logically speaking, I should love her very much. But she is not the kind of person who can hurt her face. So, I
I can only love her in my heart and be strict with her on the surface. She used to have a bad temper and short-sightedness, maybe because she didn't have a solid foundation, so if she relaxed a little for a year or two, her bad nature would be exposed again. Laziness is not terrible.
, the scary thing is to keep being lazy. You can still tolerate her being lazy now, and you can see that the house is messy and dirty. But what if one day you can't bear it anymore, what will happen to you? Will you keep quarreling? "
"I... I will help with the work." Xue Heng replied: "When I came home, I found it was too dirty, and they were cleaned. The main reason is that I am also busy."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "That's why I didn't talk about you. Ah Fang's working hours are very fixed, either during the day or at night. She has to go to work during the day, and when she comes home at night, she says she's tired and just puts her feet up and watches TV.
I sleep during the night shift because I was too tired last night, so I didn’t do any work. In fact, who spends a lot of time doing housework? It’s all squeezed out! My job is not
It is necessary to wake up early and go to bed late at a regular time. Before the child wakes up, clean up and make breakfast quickly. When the child wakes up, he must be with you to take care of him, feed him food and water, etc. After the child sleeps, he still has to wash and hang clothes.
And that doesn’t include meals and washing the dishes.”
Xue Heng shrank his head and whispered: "Brother, I also think that A Fang is always like this. But I can't say too much about her, otherwise she will have to quarrel with me. I have thought about it, if she is pregnant with a child,
I will spend money to hire a nanny, clean the house, and prepare three meals."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think you can easily find a good nanny like Sister Achun? Huh?"
Xue Heng was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Tianyuan sneered: "Don't worry, the old problems haven't been solved yet, but a lot of new ones have been created. Do you have money to hire a nanny? Will we have no money? Lingling earns a lot, right? I earn enough to hire a nanny."
But if there is an extra person in the family, what is his temperament and how does he treat the elderly and the children? If he treats the elderly badly, the elderly will at least know it in his heart. The children are not sensible yet, especially the two younger ones. If they are kidnapped and taken away, what will happen?
She was secretly abused? Who can guarantee this? After Sister Achun married Uncle Zheng, we never thought about finding an extra nanny to help, but after asking about it, we gave up in the end."
Xue Heng sighed helplessly: "Brother, what should I do?"
Cheng Tianyuan asked back: "Are you asking me about your life?"
Xue Heng: "..."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Don't think too much, just live your life first."
Xue Heng sighed secretly, but still nodded.
"I'll try to talk to A Fang."
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "She is a person who cannot be pampered. Don't indulge her too much. Don't worry, I understand your actual situation, and so do your parents. Even if she comes back crying and complaining, we will naturally stand upright."
Xue Heng laughed after hearing this: "With the words of big brother, I feel more at ease."
It is right for him to dote on his wife, but if he indulges her too much and continues like this, not only his father-in-law and mother-in-law will be angry, but his recently retired mother will also be dissatisfied.
If you want to make corrections, you are afraid of causing more dissatisfaction. But if you have the support of your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, it will be different.
Cheng Tianyuan quickly washed the dishes, wiped the table and stove, and swept and mopped the floor.
After a lot of hard work, it was already more than half an hour later.
Xue Heng couldn't help but mutter: "It takes time to prepare and cook. Not counting the time for eating, it also takes half an hour to wash and wipe."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "If breakfast and lunch are simple, it won't take so long. Sometimes if you want to be quick, just eat something simple. Tonight is New Year's Eve, and there are many dishes prepared, so it takes so long. There are only two of you, how much can you eat?
?You don’t have to do much, and you don’t need so much time.”
Xue Heng nodded.
The third uncle outside shouted: "Are you ready? Come watch the show and drink tea!"
"Hey!" Xue Heng walked out quickly.
Cheng Tianyuan saw that the water on the stove was boiling again, so he brought it down.
"Uncle San, do you need to take a bath tonight? There is a heater at home and I have boiled the hot water. Why don't you take a bath here first and then go to sleep with Ah Huan across the street later."
The third uncle nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! The cold wave is too strong these days, it snowed two days ago, and it's very cold. There is no heating in the small courtyard, and I am too cold to take a shower."
"Then prepare your clothes, and I'll help you bring the water in first," Cheng Tianyuan said.
