Valentin Dmitrievich Ivanov. Tale of ancient years (№ 415050)

A man is not involved in women's affairs. Without a hostess, a hungry husband will sit tight, but he will not touch the stove damper, he will not lift her work in the cellar, he will not stick into the bread chest. This is the custom. It is not for nothing that it is said that without a hostess, the owner does not have a bucket or a piece. The hostess is held in high esteem.
