Chapter 36
At noon, Li Suniang was about to cook but was stopped by Du Wei, who said that he would do it and asked her to sit aside and wait for the meal. If she felt bored, she could help him light the fire, or go and talk to Xiao Zihao.
Even Lao Du said, "Daughter-in-law, let A'Wei cook when he is at home. Anyway, there is no work to do at home, and it is not appropriate for a grown man to stay at home and do nothing. Cooking does not take much effort for him. When he goes out to work, everything at home will be hard for you, the daughter-in-law."
Li Suniang never thought that her father-in-law would have such an open-minded idea, and he did not have the chauvinistic ideas of those ancient men. This made her more determined to fully integrate into this family.
"Dad, it's not hard. It's just that the dishes I cook may not be as delicious as those made by Brother Du." Li Suniang said a little embarrassed.
After tasting Du Wei's dishes, Li Suniang felt ashamed instantly. The dishes cooked by a woman like her were not as delicious as those made by Du Wei, a man who had been running around for a long time.
She didn't know where he got the time to learn how to cook. The escorts are very busy. It's common for them to not go home for a month or two when traveling. It's not that they carry pots and pans with them when they escort, and learn as they go!
Li Suniang may have forgotten that there is a kind of person who is gifted. As long as he has seen, touched, and tasted something, as long as the time is not too long, he can copy it according to his memory. Although it can't be exactly the same, the taste is not far off.
"It's okay, no matter how bad it tastes, it can't be worse than what I make." Lao Du said with no burden on his face.
It's strange to say that Lao Du has been cooking for so many years, but he doesn't know why the dishes he made can only be said to be cooked. As for the taste, it can be imagined.
Maybe the reason why Du Wei joined the escort agency was that his father's cooking was too bad. Maybe he could make money while tasting different delicacies from all over the world so that he could cook for his father when he returned home.
After Du Wei learned how to cook, Lao Du began to be a hands-off boss. As long as Du Wei was at home, he would not go into the kitchen except when it was time to eat.
However, every time Du Wei went out, he had to cook by himself. Du Wei once told his father that he would have Aunt Cuihua come to cook for him, but Lao Du would rather eat the unpalatable food he made than ask others to help him. He didn't want to be said to have a bad reputation.
Now that he has a daughter-in-law, he no longer has to worry about his son cooking after going out.
So at noon, the young couple worked in the kitchen, one on the stove and the other on the fire, and they cooperated very well. There was an old man and a child in the yard. The child was having fun playing with the dog, and the old man was sitting by the side, watching kindly with a smile on his face.
The family divided the work and cooperated, and it was warm and cozy. After lunch, cleaning the kitchen was Li Suniang's specialty. Although Du Wei could cook, he was not as good as Li Suniang at cleaning. This time, Li Suniang was in charge of the main part, while Du Wei assisted and helped. The whole kitchen seemed like the world of the young couple.
After everything was done, Li Suniang had time to talk to Xiao Zihao. In fact, she was mainly worried that Xiao Zihao would disturb Grandpa Du last night, but she didn't expect Xiao Zihao to actually say that Grandpa Du's stories were better than Li Suniang's.
Grandpa Du mainly talked about what he saw and experienced when he was escorting, so it was very real, while Li Suniang talked about what she saw on TV and in books. She had not experienced it personally, so she talked with not many emotions.
Seeing Xiao Zihao's longing look, Li Suniang asked, "Zihao, do you also want to go out and take a look?"
"Yes, mother. When I grow up, I want to travel around like Grandpa Du." Xiao Zihao nodded seriously and answered.
"But you don't know a single word. Aren't you afraid of being cheated if you go out like this? How about this? After the New Year, I'll ask your Grandpa Du to send you to school. When you grow up and recognize all the words, I'll let you go out to travel." Li Suniang said to Xiao Zihao in a negotiating tone. "Of course, you can't fall behind in the boxing and kicking skills you learned from Grandpa Du. Otherwise, what will you do when you meet bad guys outside?"
Xiao Zihao is now thinking about going out for travel when he grows up, so he is very receptive to his mother's suggestions and nods.
Then Xiao Zihao told his mother what happened when he was taking a walk with Grandpa Du today.
In the morning, Lao Du took Xiao Zihao out for a walk. As usual, they came to the place where a group of old men used to chat together. When one of the old men saw Lao Du and Xiao Zihao coming, he quietly pulled Lao Du and asked, "Lao Du... do you really plan to raise this child from the Niu family?"
"Yeah, yes! What's the matter?" Lao Du nodded and asked with some doubt.
"No... I heard that you are going to send him to school?" the old man asked again.
"Yes! Look how smart this child is. It's a pity if he doesn't go to school." Lao Du looked at Xiao Zihao with a very loving face.
"I say, are you two stupid! You know, it costs a lot to go to school. Instead of using it for other children, it's better to wait for the young widow to give birth to a son for your son and then use it for your grandson. What if the kid from the Niu family grows up to be successful and doesn't recognize people, then you will have wasted so much money!" The old man felt sorry for Lao Du.
"How is it possible! With the character of my daughter-in-law, how could she raise a child without morals? Don't worry, I'm still waiting for this kid to become successful so that he can help his younger brothers and sisters in the future!" Lao Du was very confident in Xiao Zihao, believing that he would never be the kind of ungrateful and ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
"I see that you two have been bewitched by the young widow and her son." The old man shook his head and said with some hesitation.
"I say, Old Liu! Don't call her the young widow, the young widow. Now she has entered the door of my Du family and is the daughter-in-law of the Du family. If you call her like this next time, I will be angry." Lao Du said a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, okay, I know, this is a temporary habit." The old man nodded and said.
Lao Du saw that there was nothing to talk about with this group of old men, and he was afraid that those old men would say something unpleasant, which would affect Xiao Zihao's mood, so he took Xiao Zihao away. It just so happened that Xiao Zihao missed Wangzai, so the father and son went to Aunt Yang's house and brought Wangzai back.
When they walked away, the old men behind them looked at his father's figure, muttering and shaking their heads. They all said that Lao Du and his son were fools, with so much money that they had no place to spend it, and they would rather help others raise children and spend a lot of money to send them to school. Some of them will regret it in the future.
On the way to Aunt Yang, Xiao Zihao comforted Grandpa Du, "Grandpa Du, don't be angry. I won't be an ungrateful person. I will be good to my brothers and sisters in the future, and I will also be good to you and Dad."
After hearing what Xiao Zihao said, Grandpa Du felt indescribable warmth in his heart. He hugged Xiao Zihao and said, "Grandpa Du is not angry. Grandpa Du also knows that Xiao Zihao is a good boy."
"Well, Zihao is good and you are right. We won't listen to what others say. They have their mouths. Let them say whatever they want. We just follow our hearts and do things that are worthy of our conscience." Li Suniang said softly to little Zihao.
Xiao Zihao told Li Suniang everything that happened, including what they said. Li Suniang couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing this. It's said that women love to gossip behind people's backs, but she didn't expect that a group of old men would also gossip behind people's backs, and their degree is no worse than that of women. They are really bored!
When it was night, the young couple lay in bed together. Originally, Li Suniang wanted to take Zihao to sleep with her tonight, to avoid the greedy Du Wei, but Zihao didn't want to. He just wanted to sleep with Grandpa Du because he wanted to listen to Grandpa Du's stories.
Li Suniang had to say to Lao Du, a little embarrassed, "Dad, then I'm troubling you."
How could Lao Du find it troublesome? He even wished that Zihao would sleep with him every night. In this way, he would have someone to accompany him. For many years, he had been alone until dawn at night. Now with the company of Zihao, he didn't feel that the night was so difficult.
Secondly, it was just right for the young couple to spend more time together. Maybe at this time next year, there will be another little person in the family.
Then, Lao Du shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not a problem, not at all. I like children the most. The more children, the more lively it is." There is a hidden meaning in these words!
Without Xiao Zihao as an excuse, Li Suniang had to find another way to avoid it for one night. Unexpectedly, before she could come up with any solution, Du Wei seemed to know what she was thinking. He just hugged her and patted her back gently and said, "Go to sleep! I won't do anything tonight."
Du Wei was also lectured by his father today, so he had to endure not moving. Thinking about what his father said, if you want to live a long life, you can eat every day, otherwise you can only eat one meal a day.
Li Suniang was surprised when she heard it: Oh! Did you build too much last night, resulting in no physical strength, so you can't build it today? But it doesn't look like that...
Li Suniang turned sideways and looked at Du Wei with his eyes closed again and again. She didn't find that he was lacking in energy, and there were no dark circles under his eyes. It was different from her, who didn't sleep well all night. She would definitely have dark circles under her eyes the next day. She would be listless and unable to muster up energy.
'Oh, who cares,' she thought. As long as she can get a good sleep tonight, she doesn't care what the reason is!
Fortunately, Du Wei, with his eyes closed, didn't know what Li Suniang was thinking at the moment. Otherwise, he would definitely let her know what it meant to have no physical strength. Didn't she see that he kept his eyes closed? He just didn't want her to see the strong lust in his eyes.@@novelbin@@
But it seems that his little wife doesn't appreciate it at the moment... In addition, with his eyes closed, his sense of smell becomes more sensitive. He can always smell the body fragrance coming from his little wife, which makes him even more unable to suppress his desire to eat.
At this moment, Du Wei was praying in his heart that his little wife would quickly close her eyes and go to sleep so that he wouldn't have to struggle anymore.
What do you think?
