Chapter 157 Swiss Roll Incident: Marry me to enjoy happiness, not to overcome disasters!
"Swiss Roll?" What a weird name! It sounds weird.
"Well, Swiss roll is a kind of cake, a dessert. It tastes very good. There are eight in a box. Usually, if you buy a box, a family of four can have it as a dessert after dinner." Qin Wanwan opened the box, took out one and planned to eat it, and suddenly wanted to ask a question.
"If you have a wife and two children in the future, and there are eight Swiss rolls in total, your daughter eats two, your son eats two, and you eat two, would you like to save the remaining two for your daughter and son?"
Situ Nanyao was enjoying his meal. Upon hearing this, he looked up in surprise and said, "Why put away the remaining two? My son and daughter have already eaten them, why keep them for them? You, no, my wife won't eat them? Shouldn't the remaining two be given to my wife?"
Situ Nanyao almost stumbled over the topic but he stopped himself in time. At this moment, he was filled with confusion and bewilderment as to why Awan asked such a stupid question.
"Can your wife eat it? She's a mother now, shouldn't she be thinking about the children? Wouldn't it be selfish if she ate it?"
Situ Nanyao frowned deeply. At this moment, even the delicious food in his mouth tasted dull. He didn't understand what was going on in Awan's mind.
"No, why are you asking this question all of a sudden? My wife is a mother, but she's also a member of the family. She's the mother of my child, my wife, and my parents' precious daughter. Why should everyone else eat it, but she can't?
What does this have to do with selfishness? Those who use the fact that a woman is a mother as an excuse to make her selfless devotion to her family and children are the most selfish!
Let me put it this way, if my wife is happy to eat it, I will give my share to her. Each of us can only ask ourselves to do something and make contributions, but we cannot not do anything ourselves and instead ask others to contribute something, no matter who that person is!
Although this Swiss roll is very rare and not available in our country, if my wife likes it, I will do my best to find it. If I can't find it, I will recruit pastry chefs from all over the world to make it.
I am a man. I should do my best to satisfy what my wife and children like, instead of being a hands-off boss and throwing all the responsibilities to my wife.
A wife is meant to be pampered. She married me to enjoy happiness, not to overcome difficulties. Otherwise, with so many men in this world, why would she marry you?
Don't worry, I dare not say that I am a completely good man, but I can definitely be responsible for my family and treat my wife well! Although my father is the King of Zhenbei, our family tradition has always been to keep oneself clean and not take concubines. Unless there are no offspring for ten years, you can take a concubine and then leave the son behind.
The child will be left to be raised by the wife, and the concubine will be freed, given a generous reward, and promised a worry-free future.
Situ Nanyao was extremely serious when he said these words, as if he was making some promise.
In fact, he was saying these words to Qin Wanwan. Since he had already decided on her, even if they were not sure about their relationship yet, even if his feelings were not that strong, even if she had not accepted him yet, from now on, he would move forward step by step towards the goal of loving her, just like his father did to his mother.
Looking at his serious expression, Qin Wanwan was in a trance for a moment. Could an ancient person, an ancient person who could have three wives and four concubines, have such awareness?
I remember watching Douyin in my past life. A woman finished her housework, put her child to sleep, and finally had some free time. But she sat there eating a Swiss roll, and her husband called her selfish. As a mother, she should leave the Swiss roll for her children to eat! As a mother, eating it is selfish!
But the problem is, there were eight Swiss rolls in total. The son ate two, the daughter ate two, the man ate two, and the woman couldn’t eat the remaining two!
Isn't it ironic? Women can't even get a quarter of a thirty-dollar Swiss roll, and this happened under a past-life system that emphasized gender equality and monogamy.
Situ Nanyao looked at Qin Wanwan lost in thought, his brows furrowed tightly, "Have you ever seen something like this before?"
This world is indeed too harsh on women, requiring them to take good care of children, be filial to their parents-in-law, serve their husbands well, not be jealous, live in peace with concubines and illegitimate children, and some are even required to help men in their careers or financial prospects.
But the family he grew up in and the education he received taught him to respect and love his wife. No matter what good things there were, his father would always let his mother choose first, give it to him second, and only his own would have the last one. So he could not understand those behaviors that exploited women.
"Well, I've seen it before, but I didn't quite understand it, so I asked for your opinion." The smile on Qin Wanwan's face became more and more sincere. She didn't expect that this person's values were quite to her liking.
Situ Nanyao could see the change in Qin Wanwan and said with a smile: "In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. People have different temperaments and personalities, and their ideas and opinions are also different. This is because they have different experiences, environments and exposure to different things. If you meet such a person, if you can't change him, you can only stay away from him."
"No, if I meet such a person, I will hit him to death with a brick to prevent him from harming others." Qin Wanwan waved her fist. Thinking of the man in the video scolding his wife, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
He really treats himself as a human being but his wife as a donkey. What a disgusting guy.
Seeing her childish side, Situ Nanyao burst out laughing. "Okay, then next time you run into someone like that, just beat him to death and I'll give you a floor tile! If you don't kill him, I'll finish him off!"
"Okay!" Qin Wanwan laughed heartily at his words and pushed the food in front of her face towards him. "Eat. After you finish eating, I'll take you to see other places in the space."
When Situ Nanyao saw the smile on her face, the heaviness in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he began to eat in big mouthfuls.
After the two of them finished touring the space, Qin Wanwan prepared a bunch of food and daily necessities, including a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil, and fruit snacks. After the two of them left the space, they took all those things out, and then took the things back into Situ Nanyao's space together.
"My space can be divided into areas of consciousness. You can control which animals can move in which area. They can't go beyond the area you specify. The space also has a freshness preservation function. You can try to control your space and see if it works."
The two looked at the pile of things in front of the thatched hut, and then listened to the animal calls on the mountain and the horses and other animals running on the grassland. In order to prevent these things from being destroyed by animals, Qin Wanwan mentioned something.
