Soon, Yan Han finished preparing the dishes, and Xia Wan followed her to bring them out. Chen MO wanted to help, but Yan Han stopped him.
Yan Han smiled and said, “The male lead is outside while the female lead is inside. You and Xia Feng will be responsible for eating.”
“Aunty,” Chen MO said after hearing this, “I don’t think there’s a need to differentiate between boys and girls. If a girl has her own career to do, a man can also enter the kitchen.”
Yan Han had never known about this before. Ever since she was born, she was taught that girls should do all housework. Therefore, her interest was piqued when she heard Chen Mo’s point of view.
“You’ve lived in a big city before,” she asked Chen Mo. “In your big city, are there any boys who do housework?”
Seeing that Yan Han was interested in these topics, Chen MO began to tell her in detail.
“In our country, if two people form a family, many families still choose the girl to do the housework while the boy works outside. However, some boys help the girl with the housework.
“Of course, there is also a situation where the boys stay at home to look after the children and do housework while the girls work outside. However, this situation is relatively rare at the moment.
“But now, with the reform and opening up, many foreign companies have entered the country. Many girls are more talented than boys in terms of language. After they enter those companies, they can develop very well. Their monthly income is even several times that of their husbands.
“For a family, if one of them has to stay at home to take care of the child and the other has to go out to work, then naturally, they have to choose the person with the higher salary to go out to work.”
Yan Han listened attentively and concluded, “The reason why there are such changes now is because of the economic development of our country. Many women also have the ability to earn money, and their ability to earn money is even stronger than men, right?”
Chen MO nodded. “This is the most direct reason. Of course, there is another reason. Nowadays, people advocate raising the status of women. Everyone thinks that loving their wives is an honorable thing.”
“I believe that it won’t be long before the atmosphere in the country will improve.”
Yan Han was a little emotional, and her eyes were even a little wet.
From Chen MO’s words, she could feel the change in the public’s perception. The status of women should be gradually improved.
Xia Wan saw that the atmosphere was a little sad and quickly interrupted with a smile, “Alright, Mom, don’t be so sad when we eat here.”
After placing the two of them at the table, Xia Wan added another dish for
Chen Mo. “Try my mom’s fried celery. It’s delicious and nutritious.”
Chen MO took the food from her and complimented her with a smile after he finished eating, “It’s indeed a good dish.”
Xia Feng was already wearing the watch in his hand. He would look at the watch every time he ate, and there was a silly smile on his face.
Seeing how happy he was, Xia Wan took out the MP4 she had bought for him.
“Look at your silly face. Take this too. This is the latest model. If you want to read any e-books or learn materials, you can download them here.”
“But this can only be done when we have a computer at home. But your Brother Chen said that he will get us a computer in two days.” Xia Wan looked at Chen MO and asked, “How much is this computer? I’ll give it to you when the time comes.”
Chen MO immediately waved his hand. “No need, no need. My uncle’s family sells computers. Maybe people think that computers are expensive, but the raw materials for these computers are very cheap. The main thing is to pay for the technology.”
“You’ve already saved my sister. It’s not a big deal for me to give your family a computer, let alone one that my family produced.”
Xia Wan insisted on paying. “That won’t do. The computer is a big project. How can I use your computer without giving you money?”
Chen MO quickly rejected, “There’s really no need. Moreover, you didn’t charge for the acupuncture treatment for my sister today.”
“I understand the rules of your industry. If it’s a senior doctor, the consultation fee for this consultation may be tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.”
“Just tell me, how can a small computer like mine offset your acupuncture this time?”
“That’s why I’m giving you this computer. At most, I’ll treat it as today’s consultation fee.”
Chen Mo’s attitude was very firm. It seemed that if Xia Wan continued to argue with him, he would argue with her to the end..
