Eating melons

When she first met him, Wu Mei was really surprised.

Because Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi gave her money for eating together, they also stated their requirements at the time. Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi said that they would not do most of the things.

And Liu Jiaojiao, just as she said, seldom does anything, just occasionally lending a hand or washing vegetables.

Wu Mei had no objection to this because they gave her money.

But Wu Mei didn't expect that although Yu Xi gave her money, he would also help with everything.

At the beginning, Yu Xi really couldn’t do many things, and he could only cook well, but now he can cook quite well.

This really surprised Wu Mei. She didn't expect that Yu Xi, who came from a family like that, would still do housework and cook.

At that time, Wu Mei was quite envious of Liu Jiaojiao. She had a good family background since she was a child, and was spoiled by her parents. Her marriage partner was also a top-notch one.

Although Yu Xi was a little indifferent to Liu Jiaojiao at that time, whenever Liu Jiaojiao had any problems, Yu Xi would be the first to help.

In Wu Mei's opinion, the two of them have been childhood sweethearts, and it is only a matter of time before they get married.

But after getting to know Wei Wei and the others a little better, Wu Mei was even more surprised.

Because Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin's cooking skills are no less than hers, and they often do housework.

When eating with Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, it seemed that Wei Wei and the others were cooking, but in fact Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin also did a lot.

Because Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are only responsible for cooking the rice and don’t care about anything else.

Wu Mei was very surprised when she first found out, but Wei Wei and Jiang Qi seemed to be used to it.

Later, Wu Mei also asked Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

Wu Mei still remembers very clearly what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi said at that time.

It happened to rain that day so Liu Jiaojiao didn't have to go to work. Because her period had come, she didn't want to move, so she just lay at home.

Wu Mei was bored. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were chatting at home at the time. Seeing Wu Mei daydreaming alone, they called her over to play with them.

Wu Mei knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi ate three meals a day, unlike her, who only ate two meals if she was not working.

It’s just that breakfast will be eaten later and dinner will be eaten earlier.

Seeing that it was almost time to cook at noon, Wu Mei decided to say goodbye.

"You guys should be making lunch now! I'll go back now and not disturb you any more."

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi waved their hands nonchalantly, "It's okay. We're going to eat at Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin's place today. They're cooking."

Since Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin got the rabbits and pheasants, they dealt with them.

Wei Wei also nodded, "Yeah! Let's continue chatting."

The main reason was that they saw that Wu Mei, a little girl, was really bored at home alone, and they had nothing to do, so they might as well keep her company.

Wu Mei was stunned when she heard this, "Do they both know how to cook?"

Wu Mei thought that Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu were probably not very good at cooking, otherwise why would they come to Wei Wei and Jiang Qi to cook together after cooking for a while.

It should be that the food they cook themselves is the same as Yu Xi's, which can only be cooked and cannot be said to be delicious.

Wu Mei's "they" naturally refers to Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin, and Wei Wei and Jiang Qi knew this.

Jiang Qi nodded. "They all know how to do it, and they do it pretty well."

Wei Wei also praised sincerely, "Yes, at least it's much better than what I did."

Wu Mei had tasted Wei Wei's cooking skills, although not much, only once, but Wu Mei also knew that Wei Wei's cooking skills were quite good.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't seem to be lying, so Wu Mei was still very surprised. She didn't expect that Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu's craftsmanship was better than Wei Wei's. That should be pretty good.

Wu Mei asked again, "Don't you need to go and help?"

Wei Wei shook her head. "No need! We'd just be in the way if we went over there. It's better to have the two of them."

Jiang Qi also nodded, "The room is not big, and Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin work well together. They have a clear division of labor and each performs their duties.

The two of us would just stare at each other and wouldn't be able to help much, so it's better to go later."

Of course, they wouldn't go empty-handed. Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu provided dinner, so they would provide drinks. Wei Wei bought a lot of Beibingyang soda anyway.

Hearing this, Wu Mei sincerely praised, "To be honest, this is the first time I've met people like Xiao Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, and Yu Zhiqing.

Among all the men I have met, I have never seen anyone who both cooks and does housework, except Xiao Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing and Yu Zhiqing.

No matter where you are, in the city or in the country, housework is done by women."

It was the first time Wu Mei knew that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin could cook so well.

But Wu Mei also knew that when the two of them lived with Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, they often did housework.

But after hearing Wu Mei's words, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt a little uncomfortable.

But it’s hard to say anything, after all, this is how it is in this era.

They say women hold up half the sky, and men work outside while women work inside.

So women have to go out to work and do housework just like men.

Whether men finish work or work, they just lie down when they get home, but it’s different for women.

It’s not so bad for city people. After work, they do housework and cook.

Women in the countryside work just like men. After a day's work, they have to do housework, cook, and take care of a bunch of poultry at home.

Everyone assumes that women do all the work in the house.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also knew that Wu Mei was an honest and decent girl. Although it might seem a bit nosy, they still wanted to give her some advice.

Therefore, Jiang Qi said, "There is no rule in this world that men don't have to do housework, nor is there a rule that housework is only done by women and men can't do it."

Wei Wei also nodded, "Yes, just like when we eat together, we'll be with Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu, and you'll be with Yu Xi and the others.

Let’s not talk about gender equality for now. We are just ordinary friends and we just eat together.

It has to be fair and just! It’s okay if it happens once or twice, but if we want to do it long-term, there has to be a clear division of labor. We can’t do everything ourselves.”

Jiang Qi also said, "That's true, and it doesn't matter if we're just friends or if you get married in the future.

Even if we get married in the future, housework and childcare will be shared equally.

Unless your partner is capable enough and doesn’t require you to go out to work, and can provide you with enough money, that’s another matter.”
