Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 348 Pampering

   "Ho!"

  Opening his eyes in the morning, Jian Heng found that the two sisters, Damai and Wheat, were sitting neatly on the edge of the bed and staring at him. They were startled into a cold sweat.

   "What are you two doing?" Jian Heng lifted the quilt and sat up, leaning on the head of the bed and asked the two sisters.

  Balley said: "Your parents are working in the kitchen, and they don't let us help, we feel very embarrassed!"

   "If you don't let me help, then I won't help. I didn't see you all coming to help every time when I was working. When my parents cook, you two are busy showing!" Jian Heng said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he lifted the quilt, pulled his feet out of the quilt, and was about to find his shoes and get off the bed: "Yes, you two have performed well. The focus is on performance, and it is more about the situation. You are the best Chinese daughter-in-law." Essence."

  Wheat said: "Why are your parents always rushing to work when you get here, why can't we help?"

  Hearing what the two sisters said, Jian Heng understood why the two sisters were a little unhappy.

For Americans, parents are regarded as visiting guests when they arrive at home. It is rare for American parents to help clean up the house and cook meals as soon as they arrive at the place where their children live. Their usual practice is If the house is messy, criticize it, if the house is clean, praise it, and then find a place to sit down. As for helping cook without saying a word, that rarely happens.

  Chinese parents are used to giving everything they can to their children and trying their best to create a comfortable environment for their children.

This point is very different from American parents. American parents think that once you become an adult, you should live independently after you move out. You are a separate family yourself, and it is time for you to bear the responsibilities of life. So parents will reach out, but it is usually the children's request, and very few of them take the initiative to do this or that as soon as they arrive at the children's house.

  Like Barley and Wheat are not used to being pampered by Chinese parents now, they are more used to the free-range love of American parents.

   It's like the two sisters still owe their father the money to buy a horse, as well as tuition. Even with Jian Heng, the two sisters never asked Jian Heng to help them pay the money. It can be said that the two sisters lived somewhat independently.

So the two sisters, Barley and Wheat, saw that Jian Heng's parents went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family early in the morning. It was a bit unacceptable. They were moved after all, but this way made them feel a little embarrassed. .

  Since Jian Heng thought of this, he naturally had to explain it to the two sisters. After answering the questions of the two sisters, almost a quarter of an hour had passed.

   "No wonder Elena said that marrying a Chinese man is very happy," Mai said.

  Jian Heng asked casually: "What Irina?"

  Balley explained: "One of our middle school classmates went to study in China, and made a Chinese boyfriend who just got married last year. He said that being a wife in China is really comfortable."

  Jian Heng laughed and said, "That means she found a good family, and some Chinese families are also quite bad."

  No matter what country they are from, generally speaking, most people are lazy in their bones.

   Like Mai’s friend named Elena, she obviously likes the Chinese-style pampering life. I found a Chinese boyfriend, and the Chinese boyfriend would ask what to eat for dinner, and would take the initiative to pay for the bill after the meal, and even carry the bag for you while walking, which, in Elena’s opinion, is more considerate than American men too much.

  After getting married, if the mother-in-law is close, she will come over from time to time to help clean up the house, cook a meal, cook porridge or something, and put herself in the role of a nanny.

If you change to an American boy, the treatment of walking and carrying bags is gone, and you may have to pay AA after eating. When you get married, your mother-in-law will not come to help you clean up the house and take care of the children, let alone use her own money to subsidize you. For American mothers-in-law, one size fits all.

   "Okay, I'll go and talk to my parents, and let them share some work for you in the future." Jian Heng said while getting dressed.

  Wheat asked: "Why should we do the work instead of you?"

  Jian Heng understands, the two girls are also lazy because of their feelings, and the embarrassment is because they think of Jian Heng getting up to help their parents share the housework, rather than the two of them volunteering to rush to the front line.

   "There are still a lot of lazy people in this world!" Jian Heng smiled and shook his head.

   After taking a shower, Jian Heng couldn't help exclaiming when he got to the kitchen: "Hey! Parents, are you going to heaven?"

  Early in the morning, Jian Heng discovered that his parents were making tofu, and they made a lot of it. Ju Jianheng visually estimated that he had already made two pots, which were the size of a washbasin.

   "You don't even have a tofu seller here, what's your life like?" Sun Xiuying said.

   "Yes, but it's not very tasty." Jian Heng rolled up his sleeves to help while talking.

Tofu is very common in the United States now, but the tofu made by Americans Jian Heng does not taste like home. As the old saying goes, the taste of tofu made by machine is different from that made by brine, and it does not have the aroma of tofu made by old brine. .

  Jian Zhenhua said: "Go do your work, we are almost done here."

"Dad, Mom, if barley and wheat come to ask for work in the future, you can see any simple small jobs and arrange them to do some. They are hypocritical Americans, and they can't bear the enthusiasm of our Chinese! Seeing you busy They feel very embarrassed after being busy before and after," Jian Heng said.

Sun Xiuying heard this, but she boasted: "These two children are so nice. I didn't expect to have such a heart. Nowadays, not many young girls in China think of this. Let me tell you that they are like the old lady next to me. The daughter-in-law of the Li family has never been in the kitchen since she passed the door. She holds a mobile phone in her hand all day long and plays with it when she is free. She will help her if the oil bottle is down. Hello girls Barley and Wheat!"

  Jian Heng was a little speechless after hearing this, but he didn't expect that a few words from his side would make his mother praise the two foreign wives-to-be.

"It's fine if you think it's good." Jian Heng didn't know what to say anymore. You can't say that my mother is wrong. Barley and wheat are not very good. Asking for work is just a formality. In the past, you were the one who did all the work in the kitchen. Son I did it!

   People are not stupid! Jian Heng naturally knew that he couldn't say that. Isn't it provocative to say so.

   While talking, Jian Heng saw the two sisters coming out, and immediately waved his hands, motioning for them to come over and help.

  Hearing what her son said just now, Sun Xiuying also arranged a very simple task for the two sisters, that is, shaking the gauze, commonly known as hanging water, in order to separate the bean dregs from the bean juice.

The five people moved at a much faster speed. When the sky was bright, the tofu was almost done. When the last piece was put in the basin and condensed, the most important dish of breakfast was tofu. , Sun Xiuying brought it here, and it was done in less than five or six minutes after chopping and chopping.

  In addition to tofu nao, there are also tea eggs and fried spring rolls for breakfast.

   "Wow, that's great!" Mai Mai happily praised Sun Xiuying with her thumbs up.

  Sun Xiuying said politely, "There isn't much there, so just eat more if you like!"

   "Go and see if your sister is awake?" Jian Zhenhua smiled and looked at his wife, Old Damai Mai, and said something to Jian Heng.

  When Jian Heng heard this, he immediately stood up and walked towards Ningning's room.

  As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the quilt was no longer on the little girl's body. Not only was there no quilt, but her whole body was sleeping in an S shape, with her belly exposed. The upper body of the whole small body is still sleeping on the bed, the lower body is directly on Denver's body, and one arm is on Pooh's belly.

   This sleeping position is so arrogant.

  The girl fell asleep like this, and Denver didn't move. It finally woke up, and now it is looking at its master with a depressed face.

   Pooh is sleepy and heartless, just like the little girl Ning Ning, stretched all over the place, her gray-red belly is exposed, and she is snoring and twitching.

  Instant noodles and Heihu woke up as soon as Jian Heng pushed open the door. Seeing Jian Heng standing at the door, Heihu stood up and wagged his tail, then walked out from Jian Heng's side.

   Jian Heng saw that the little girl was still asleep, so he said to Denver: "The organization believes in you, hold on for a while!"

   After finishing speaking, Jian Heng retreated, and closed the door with a snap.
