Evening.
In the kitchen.
Su's Dad and Su's Mom both went into the kitchen. They glanced outside, then shut the door as well.
The moment Su's Dad came in, he quietly snapped at his wife, "Look at you. Look what you've done!"
Su's Mom felt a little wronged, but she also knew she was at fault, so she didn't dare lose her temper at her husband. "I didn't know he was the County Party Secretary either. Look at him—his appearance, his age—where does he look like one?"
Su's Dad said, "Even so, you shouldn't have treated him like that."
Su's Mom said, "I thought he was trying to curry favor with our son. I just didn't want to make our son look bad, so I put on a little airs. Isn't that how the families of leaders usually act?

When I was on the phone just now, I already told everyone our son was going to become the County Party Secretary. I can't take that back now."
