In a traditional Chinese family, the husband is responsible for making money and supporting his families. The wife is responsible for doing house chores, taking care of her husband and kid and cooking meals. However, the situation has changed today. In a modern family, both the husband and the wife have to work to support their family. The husband and the wife know clearly what they do. If the wife cooks meals, the husband usually washes dishes. In some families, the husband not only cooks meals but also washes dishes. I’d like to ask all husbands a question “What do you do in your family, cooking meals, washing dishes or doing nothing?”

He is a bit upset. You know why? They each have their own jobs. The wife cooks and the husband washes dishes. Wan, what are you going to do if you were the man?

Usually when I ordered food from those stalls, I'd make sure no MSG and of course less salt (or even no salt at all). My wife would add natural rock salt to her taste. Wan

For me, is different scenario, dear Jimmy as cooking on my own costs more, including man hour. Vegetables may be cheap but I need electricity (or gas) to cook, and buy other ingredients such as garlic and other condiments. If I buy from the food stall next door (less than 20 metres) rice with vegetable, soup and fish will be 4.50 and warm water of any amount is free. No need to wash dishes too.
