"Are they on a business trip or just to see me?" Xiang Nan said in surprise when he heard this, "Xiao Liu, don't you think the pace is too fast? We have only been together for two days, and your parents are going to see me , to be honest, I think it’s a bit fast.”
"Oh, they really came to Yanjing on a business trip, and they wanted to see you by the way. It's okay, they have also seen all the boyfriends I had before." Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile, "Cao Xiaoqiang, you just Let’s meet them, my parents are getting better.”
"Okay, for your sake." Xiang Nan nodded, "But little girl, next time you make such a big move, you must discuss it with me in advance.
When falling in love, meeting your parents is a very important stage. It requires a process and a sense of ritual. You suddenly asked me to meet them, and I was neither mentally prepared nor materially prepared, and I might not even be able to arrange the time.
Being poorly prepared and showing timidity when the time comes is not only embarrassing for me. You, your parents, and our relationship will all be greatly affected. Do you understand, little girl? "
"I hate it, I'm already very old, don't call me little girl~" Wu Xiaoliu pouted and said coquettishly.
"Now that you have grown up, you should think more carefully about things you do." Xiang Nan commented, "Xiao Liu, love is a matter of two people, and marriage is a matter of two families. You have to learn to see things from the other person's perspective."
"Okay, old comrade, don't give me any more lessons. You keep saying the same thing over and over again, and you're almost like Tang Monk." Wu Xiaoliu said nonchalantly, "Come on, go to sleep."
Xiang Nan couldn't help but frowned when he saw this.
Wu Xiaoliu was taking matters into his own hands, thinking about things every time they happened. This was not a good phenomenon.
Falling in love is a matter between two people. If you cannot think about the other person and only consider your own affairs, let the other person always accommodate you. This relationship is just not normal.
"Forget it, let's observe her for a while. If she is still like this and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, there is nothing we can do about it." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think.
…
The next morning, Xiang Nan could sleep well.
At this moment, a rapid alarm sounded, waking him up.
In a moment of confusion, he saw Wu Xiaoliu slap the alarm clock away, and then called the training institution.
"Hey, manager, I had a terrible headache this morning and couldn't get out of bed. Would you like to ask for a leave?" Wu Xiaoliu said pitifully, "Okay, thank you, I will definitely see a doctor. I can go to work tomorrow, for sure.”
Then she hung up the phone, chuckled, and stepped forward to kiss Xiang Nan, "Cao Xiaoqiang, please be considerate. I took leave today to be with you."
"Xiao Liu, don't be like this, work is important." When Xiang Nan heard this, he frowned, "If you suddenly ask for leave before going to work, aren't you going to create a problem for the manager? Don't agree, it will seem unreasonable. I agree to you, How many things do you have to do? Besides, you are so willful, what if you get fired?"
"Then you come to raise me." Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile, "Cao Xiaoqiang, I am yours now, you won't leave me alone, right?"
"Of course not." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "But, Xiao Liu, believe me, it's definitely not easy to live a life of doing nothing."
He had been unemployed for a while. No need to go to work or do anything, just stay at home watching movies, playing games, and binge-watching TV series...
That kind of day sounds beautiful, but it is actually the stage when he is the most unhappy and depressed. Every day I feel confused and confused, like a zombie.
It wasn't until he found a job again that he started to become more energetic.
People work not only to make money, but also to gain a sense of accomplishment, value and satisfaction, making people feel that they are beneficial to society, rather than just eating and drinking.
"I won't be idle, I want to be a housewife, and I want to bear children for you." Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile, "Cao Xiaoqiang, you won't dislike me, right?"
"Of course not." Xiang Nan smiled, but shook his head inwardly.
Wu Xiaoliu thought things too simply. Is being a housewife that easy? ! Taking care of housework, nurturing children, being filial to the elderly, socializing and entertaining... it is not easy to do any of them well.
Moreover, an excellent housewife should also be a good helper, support her husband's career, help him with suggestions, and accompany him through life and death. You should also be on guard against your mistress, don't let her take advantage of her and snatch your husband away.
The most important thing is to enrich yourself and keep yourself in sync with your husband. Otherwise, the gap between the two people will become bigger and bigger, and sooner or later one of them will be left behind.
Feng Yuhua in "Settle Down" managed to help her husband become the CEO of a listed company while she worked as a full-time housewife. However, her husband cheated on her within a few years.
Fortunately, she had the means to divorce her husband resolutely and took away half of the property. Otherwise, her most likely end would be to be kicked out with nothing to gain.
Cheng Kaiyan in "Dajiang Dahe" also just wants to be a housewife and doesn't want to work hard. She gave up studying accounting and Japanese halfway. In comparison, Song Yunhui is constantly learning and making progress.
This made the gap between the two wider and wider, with fewer and fewer common topics. In the end, Cheng Kaiyan admitted that he was not worthy of Song Yunhui.
Wu Xiaoliu was still too naive. He thought about everything simply, unrealistically, and castles in the air.
…
"Xiao Liu, you have a good desire to be a housewife. I will help you sign up for a training class later. Like etiquette, manners, beauty, health care, early childhood education, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, painting, equestrian, investment and financial management, jewelry collection, Appreciation of cultural relics... you have to master these." Xiang Nan then nodded and said,
"Our family will be very rich in the future, and everyone we deal with will be either rich or noble. As a full-time wife, of course you have to be proficient in everything so that you can use it, right?"
"Ah?!" Wu Xiaoliu was stunned, "Does it need to be so troublesome?"
"Of course." Xiang Nan smiled, "otherwise, do you think that being a full-time housewife is just a pretense? If you want to be a good full-time housewife, you still have to learn a lot."
"Do you really want to learn?" Wu Xiaoliu frowned.
She really hadn't thought about it that much before. I just thought that after becoming a full-time housewife, I could not go to work or work, just stay at home and play every day, and live a happy life.
Only now did I realize that it was a bit unexpected for a housewife to learn so much.
"Of course you have to learn, and you must learn." Xiang Nan nodded, "Xiao Liu, if you want to be a full-time housewife, you must master various skills.
Wang Xifeng in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is your role model. At home, you should be a good wife, serve your husband well, and take good care of your children. Outside, you have to be a strong woman, and you also have to learn how to socialize, invest, and manage money.
Otherwise, you will become Youshi. I can't take care of things at home, and I can't support things outside. At that time, you will be the grandma of Dongfu in name only. "
After hearing this, Wu Xiaoliu could only nod his head.
