💝Men and women, who would sacrifice more?

Wan Chai will come home with the fragrance of food always waiting on the table. His wife, "Kan," is a housewife who handles everything flawlessly. The house is clean, the fragrant cloth and the food tastes mellow.

"There's your favorite meat basil today," Kan said with a smile as he scooped him a hot steamed rice.

Wanchai sat down to eat with joy, and he told of fatigue at work, of a heart that was inflated when he was praised by the chief, and Kan listened attentively, filling her with water, moving her plate and rice closer to him, and on her plate there was only steamed rice and sautées and a small cup of fresh curry.

"Don't Kan eat meat?" Wanchai asked one day.

"Oh...Kan is full. I tasted a lot, "she replied evasively, as always.

The truth hidden in household accounts.

That night, Wan Chai woke up in the middle of the night hungry for water, and he walked through the living room and saw Kan still sitting in front of an old portable computer, working on a small data key for extra money, and he glanced at the expense notebook that Kan had forgotten to close.

In the book, it is thoroughly proportioned:

Child tuition (additional savings)

Wanchai car repair fee

Vitamins nourish your eyes for your mother (Wan Chai's mother)

Kan's Personal Items: Skip Out (Keep it for next month)

Wan Chai looked back for months, and he found that Kan had not bought himself a new dress for almost a year, and the makeup used was left with only the bottom of the bottle, and more importantly,..He found that the money he had given, Gordon had spent on good-grade meat and nourishment for him and his child, and she chose to eat only what was left of the family.

A gift that doesn't require money.

Wan Chai stood still there. The wife's sacrifice was not just to do housework, but to "shrink the size of their own needs," so that other people's happy space in the house was enlarged.

The next morning, Wan Chai didn't go out to work immediately. He got up earlier than usual and went to the kitchen to do something simple. He called Kan for breakfast together.

"Kan...You don't have to do it today. I'll take you to your favorite restaurant this evening. "

"It's wasteful, Mr. Wan Chai Kan. Do it yourself. It's more economical..."Gordon tried to refuse according to habituation.

Wan Chai held her hand. "Your happiness is not a waste to me. You have let others forget for themselves. Today, let me take care of your happiness."

Kan remained silent for a while before her eyes began to lighten, not because of eating a luxury store, but because of the sacrifices she had made so quietly. Now someone saw and valued it.

What this story reflects:

Invisible Labor: The invisible work and emotional selflessness of a wife who is often seen as a "duty" affair

Self-Erasure: Being a mother or wife often removes one's identity and needs for the family.
