My wife and I have been married for 2 years. Although I know that after getting married, there will be "discoveries" when I first fell in love but sometimes I feel a little sad because my wife is not good at cooking, especially when preparing a feast for each Tet holiday.
My wife is not like many other wives. When she got married, she was not good at housework. Every time we gather as a family, my wife just comes around and does a few light things like picking up vegetables, washing dishes...
My wife is a "little lady" of a well-off family. From childhood to adulthood, she did not have to move her limbs at any time because she had a housekeeper.
Later, when I brought my wife home for an official debut, my parents also assessed that she was not the right model to be a wife, but I ignored it.
The couple's life is quite simple, when they go to work all day and come home with help to take care of their meals, they take each other out to eat whenever they like. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but right during Tet, the maid took a leave of absence to return to her hometown. The couple is busy preparing their own things and New Year's Eve offerings, making everyone quite worried.
The volunteer wife took on the cooking part, I agreed but was still reserved to ask her mother for support, if unfortunately my wife's meals were not "compliant". However, I was quite surprised and could not even believe my wife's image wearing a lotus shirt, standing with spring rolls and next to it was a quaxy boiled chicken. I tried the dish with no bad taste at all.
I smiled and asked where my wife bought the pre-made items. The mysterious girl said that she knew she was not good at housework, so she signed up for a female chief engineer training course. She took advantage of this secret learning momentum at noon and halfway through work break.
My wife also had to "prove" for half a year and had failed to cook many dishes. But now, she is completely confident and can become proficient in making some basic dishes.
Hearing her story, I was very touched and hugged her in my heart, saying thank you to my partner for being willing to change for me, doing things I had never touched since I was a child. For me, a sustainable married life is when both of them look in the same direction and accept changes for each other!
This is probably the most memorable New Year's Eve meal of our lifetime.
