Chapter 3 Never take housewife courses

Not long ago, I went to the married Shun Ai's house as a guest and found that her dishes were very delicious. I praised her, but she secretly told me that all these dishes were bought from outside.It turned out that Shun Ai was a layman in cooking, and the only dishes he could cook were stir-fried vegetables and instant noodles. "It's all my mother's fault. I should learn some life skills before I get married, but she won't teach me anything." "Your mother? Why?" It’s just to be a housewife for a man.” Most elderly people over the age of 60 think that “a married daughter is like pouring water”, but her mother has a different way of thinking.Although we laughed a lot about it, we have to admit that her mother had a point.The method of caring for the family varies from person to person.Some are selfless for the sake of other family members, and some are for self-gratification.For the life of other members, you have to take care of their diet and daily life, and for the life of self-satisfaction, you have to plan and arrange the life of family members.The former means to "make a living" while the latter means to "enjoy" life.However, most of the chores included in the so-called housewife courses are for family members.If you hire a servant to take care of your family's food and daily needs, you will actually need very little money each month.Conversely, what the hostess should really have is the ability to manage the family, which cannot be replaced by Filipino maids. "Hands don't get wet" is specifically used to describe such a life.Presumably, Shun Ae's mother wanted her daughter to be a real hostess, not a free laborer who was exhausted by household chores.In fact, Shun Ai has a unique orientation and perspective on her own life, so every time she visits her home, she can feel the enthusiasm of a hostess.However, all the guests who come to Shun Ai's house can taste the fragrant coffee and exquisite toast, but they can never expect a full-style dinner, even her father-in-law and mother-in-law are the same.
