When Wu Fei and her husband went downstairs, they saw her mother sitting at the dining table with an expressionless face, and was about to speak and explain.
The main reason is that Wu Fei has been afraid of her mother at home since she was a child, because she used to be her primary school teacher, who was very strict and never allowed her to sleep in at home unless it was a holiday.
Su Mingzhe also knows that the division of labor in his wife's home is between tiger mother and cat father!
So he rushed to explain before his wife:
"Mom, Feifei has been in the room looking at the cafe venue. She was afraid that Xiaomi would disturb her downstairs, so she never came down!"
Wu's mother also knew that her son-in-law was trying to save her daughter, but she didn't say anything. After all, this was also a sign of her son-in-law's love for her daughter.
So his expression softened a little and he said:
"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you come over and eat!"
Wu Fei hurried over and sat at the dining table. Su Mingzhe also sat down next to his wife.
Just as he was about to pick up the fried dough sticks and take a bite, he remembered that the nanny, Aunt Zheng, should be cleaning up in the kitchen.
So Su Mingzhe got up and went to the kitchen:
"Aunt Zheng, please stop cleaning up now. Let's eat first. After eating, we'll clean up together!"
Aunt Zheng waved her hands quickly and said:
"Mr. Su, you and your wife eat first. When you guys finish eating, I'll just take one bite!"
"Aunt Zheng, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Mingzhe. From my junior brother's point of view, you are also an elder. Although we have never met, after all, we are both Stanford alumni!" Su Mingzhe said sincerely.
At this time, Wu Fei was also in the restaurant and heard the sounds from the kitchen, because this kitchen was an open kitchen.
He got up and walked over:
"Yes, Aunt Zheng, Mingzhe is right. From now on, you can just call me Wu Fei or Feifei. From now on, we will eat together in the restaurant and clean up together after the meal. Our family does not have those so-called rules!"
Mother Wu didn't move in the restaurant. She knew priorities very well, although she had a good chat with Aunt Zheng in the kitchen this morning.
But it was inconvenient for her to intervene at this time, after all, this was not her own home.
Facing the warm invitation from Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei, Aunt Zheng did not refuse and sat down at the dining table to have breakfast together.
Aunt Zheng was a little happy. She had found a good employer and she should work harder.
After eating, Aunt Zheng kicked out Wu Fei, who came to wash the dishes with her.
If you are a nanny, you must have the consciousness of being a nanny. Even if the owner is sincere, you cannot let others do it.
This is also the reason why Aunt Zheng has such a good evaluation of the housekeeping company.
Wu Fei took Xiaomi aside to breastfeed, Su Mingzhe went upstairs to change clothes, and Wu's mother went to the kitchen to chat with Aunt Zheng again.
This period of time has been very frustrating for her. She is not familiar with the place here, her English is not very good, and she has no one to talk to.
Mother Wu and Aunt Zheng are similar in age and are fellow villagers, so they had a great time chatting.
After Su Mingzhe changed his clothes and went downstairs, he felt that the nanny had made the right choice when he saw this scene.
When Su Mingzhe went to the housekeeping company to choose a nanny, he specifically asked for one who could speak Shanghainese.
This way Mother Wu won't be bored here for half a year.
Su Mingzhe did not disturb his mother-in-law. He took the sleeping daughter from his wife who was wearing pajamas and whispered:
"Honey, you should go upstairs and change clothes too!"
"Yeah!" Wu Fei went upstairs to change clothes.
After his wife changed clothes and came down, Su Mingzhe's eyes lit up.
Today, Wu Fei wore a ponytail, a white T-shirt on her upper body, denim shorts on her lower body, and white shoes. She didn't look like a hot mom who had just given birth, but just like a female college student.
Su Mingzhe felt that his wife could easily sneak into the university by using her face, and the guards would not stop her at all.
The two handed their daughter over to their mother-in-law, who was chatting with the nanny in the kitchen.
When they reached the door, the couple got into a car. Su Mingzhe started the car and left the house.
Wu Fei sat in the car for a while and felt that the BMW was still a comfortable ride and asked Su Mingzhe who was driving:
"Husband, where are we going to see the venue today? Is it far from our home?"
Su Mingzhe held the steering wheel and shook his head:
"Don't look at the house today!"
Wu Fei felt a little strange:
"Then what are we going to do?"
Su Mingzhe did not answer, but asked:
"Yesterday I asked you to ask my mother about the size of her clothes. Did you ask?"
"No need to ask, I've known it before!"
"Are you going to buy clothes for your mother?" Wu Fei asked after she knew the size of the clothes.
Su Mingzhe nodded and said:
"Yes, when we came here, the suitcase mom brought was full of delicious food for us, and she didn't even bring a few changes of clothes."
"I have mentioned taking my mother to buy some clothes before, but she always said the clothes were enough and she didn't want to go."
Wu Fei also sighed:
"My mother is probably afraid that we will spend money. Now that our family has money, it is right to buy a few more things for my mother!"
Wu Fei was very moved and thanked Su Mingzhe in the driver's seat:
"Husband, thank you for being so considerate. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed. My mother only brings a few changes of clothes!"
Su Mingzhe also said from the bottom of his heart:
"Isn't it right to be filial to our mother? How much has our mother sacrificed for our family? She retired early and came to help us take care of our children. What's the point of buying a few clothes?"
"Actually, I have been planning in my heart that when my mother goes back in half a year, I will go back with her and help my parents change their house to one with an elevator. This will save my parents the trouble of going up and downstairs. Climb the stairs!”
Wu Fei was even more moved after hearing this, and almost shed tears this time:
"Husband, thank you very much!"
Su Mingzhe changed his expression again, pretending to be serious:
"By the way, I will make another house rule in our house from now on. You are not allowed to say thank you to your husband!"
"If you do it again, you will be punished by the family law!"
Wu Fei heard her husband say "family law" and seemed to think of something indescribable.
Wu Fei's cheeks were slightly red and she leaned her head on Su Mingzhe's arm and said coquettishly: "I know, husband!"
After speaking, he pretended to be a little jealous and said:
"Hmph! I don't have many new clothes either!"
When Wu Mingzhe heard his wife's complaint, he found it very interesting, so he held the steering wheel with his left hand and stretched out his right hand to gently scratch his wife's nose:
"You're even jealous of me, and who said I won't buy it for you!"
"Today I'm mainly buying for you, and I'm going to bring a few things for my mother, that's all!"
"Hey, just buy it for mom, that's what I said!"
Wu Fei was a little embarrassed when she heard her husband's words.
Then he asked:
"Husband, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were out shopping today!"
"I don't want to give you a surprise. I knew you liked shopping before we got married. At that time, our family had no money, so I wronged you. Now that my husband is rich, let's have fun!"
Su Mingzhe stretched out his right hand to hold his wife's tender hand and explained affectionately.
Wu Fei feels very happy since giving birth to her child. Her husband has become more considerate, her family has become richer, and she has even bought a bigger house.
My little pussy is really a lucky star!
…
After driving for more than an hour, Su Mingzhe took his wife to Macy's Department Store in Union Square, San Francisco.
Macy's Department Store, a subsidiary of United Department Stores, has a long history. It is a high-end department store in the United States and a symbol of American fashion.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Su Mingzhe got out of the car and walked in holding his wife's hand, first going to the jewelry store on the third floor.
