Cheng Xiang looked at Wen Zhibin and wanted to know whether what he said was a compliment following Qin Yutong's intention or whether it was really from the bottom of his heart.
Equality between men and women has been talked about for more than a hundred years, but even in the 21st century with an open atmosphere, complete equality between men and women has not been achieved.
In ancient times, women only had to look after their husbands and raise children at home, and did not need to worry about making money to support the family. However, in later generations, men and women have become equal, and equality lies in making money to support the family. It is still the task of women to look after their husbands and raise children.
A man's mission has not changed: to earn money to support his family and to go home and be a man.
Women's tasks have changed. In addition to being in public and earning money, women are also responsible for giving birth to children, raising children, taking care of the home, washing, cooking and housework.
Looking at it this way, I don’t know whether it is progress or regression.
There are always people who insist that women should be able to work both in the hall and in the kitchen. They should be able to kill everyone in the workplace and take care of everything at home. Why do no one ask men to be able to earn money and support the family? He can also be a good husband and father, discipline his children and cherish his wife.
Cheng Xiang was really impressed that Wen Zhibin could say such considerate things about women.
"Do you really think it's not easy for women?" Cheng wanted to ask.
Wen Zhibin nodded: "Of course, women can work hard in their careers and support their families just like men, but men cannot bear the pain of childbirth for women, so it is women who have the harder time."
Cheng Xiang smiled and nodded, "That's right." If it was just perfunctory, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to express such a sigh.
Qin Yutong was unmoved. She wanted to scare him off, but tried several times to no avail. After drinking a cup of tea, she opened her mouth and asked, "I like a dress and I don't have enough money. Can you lend it to me?"
Cheng Xiang stared at her. First he criticized her appearance, then she disliked her for earning little money, and now she asked her to borrow money. Sister shouldn't be so cruel, right?
Wen Zhibin was stunned, touched himself, took out a few big unity sheets and said: "I brought so many today, I don't know if they are enough?"
Qin Yutong took the money and put it in his pocket: "That's it. I'll pay you back when I have money."
After saying that, he pulled Cheng Xiang up and said, "We have something to do and leave first. You can drink it slowly by yourself."
Cheng Xiang was pulled up and pushed out by her. Wen Zhibin looked at them blankly, then asked with a warm smile: "Okay, can I come see you next time?"
"Uh, let's talk next time and contact you again."
Wen Zhibin looked at Qin Yutong with a smile: "Comrade Qin, I am sincere and hope that the future will be long."
Qin Yutong was startled, then nodded casually: "Yeah, okay."
The two of them walked out of the teahouse as if they were running away.
Cheng Xiang looked at her and said, "You, it's a bit too much. I think this Wen Zhibin is quite good. He is well-educated and polite. The most important thing is that he is sincere."
Qin Yutong touched the money in his pocket: "I thought that if I borrowed the money directly, I would scare him away, but I didn't expect that he would actually lend it to me. Do you think he was pretending?"
Cheng wanted to say: "It was a completely subconscious reaction when he lent you money. There was no excessive reaction at all. I don't think he was pretending. You can try it by contacting him. A person's character and upbringing can be faked for a while. Once When there is a crisis, it will be exposed.”
"I don't like him, why should I contact him?" Qin Yutong retorted.
"But the person you like likes more than you. Why give up the entire forest for a crooked-neck tree?" Cheng Xiang advised.
Qin Yutong smiled and punched Cheng Xiang: "He is not a crooked tree. I think he is very upright and manly."
Also, how could she like a gentle man like Wen Zhibin when she likes Zhou He, a simple-minded man with well-developed limbs?
The two of them walked around outside, had lunch, and then went home.
I thought I would meet Zhou Tianlei when I got home, and I was thinking about how to mess around with him, but when I got home, I didn't see him.
My aunt said: "He came here in the morning. Well, he really turned over the ground a little. He was so tired that he was sweating and refused to rest. But then, someone suddenly came and called him away. It seemed that there was something urgent, so he went back. He also said that if you don’t want to go home, just rest here for a few days, and he will pick you up after finishing his work in two days.”
Cheng thought and felt a tightness in his chest. Was it disappointment? Or lost? Can't tell.
At night, grandma seemed to have caught a cold and suddenly had a fever. She and her aunt worked shifts to take care of her all night.
The next day, my uncle invited Dr. Zhong over, took his pulse, and said it was nothing serious. He was just weak due to the cold. He prescribed some medicine and rested for a few days, and everything would be fine.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Xiang stayed at home to take care of grandma for the next few days, and Zhou Tianlei never came again.
After three or four days, grandma's health got better. Seeing how absent-minded Cheng Xiang was every day, she said, "You, you couldn't come down from the high platform, and you couldn't get off the ladder when they gave it to you. You're fine now. The ladder has been removed. What should you do?"
Cheng Xiang curled his lips and said: "If there is no ladder, I will jump down and he will definitely catch me." She still had this confidence.
Grandma smiled and said: "You are just making trouble, and I am fine. If you can't stay here, go back."
Cheng Xiang didn't feel like he couldn't stay any longer, but he felt a little uneasy. If he didn't show up these days, he must not be angry with himself. Could something happen at home?
Could it be that something happened to the child?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, but when I thought about going home on my own initiative, I couldn't lose face. Just like my grandma said, she put herself on a high platform and couldn't get off.
In order to make herself feel at ease, she went to the cable factory the next day and found the car that delivered meat to the cable factory. The person who came to deliver meat today was not Chen Tian, but Zhang Qingxiang.
Since Zhang Qingxiang helped Chen Jiao, the work on the pig farm has been completely handed over. Only when pigs are needed and his skills are needed, he will go over and help.
"Why are you here to deliver the food? Where is Chen Tian?" Cheng Xiang went over and asked.
Zhang Qingxiang was delighted when he saw Cheng Xiang: "Why are you here? Why don't you go home yet? Chen Jiao misses you so much. She runs to your house every day and can't see you. She is very anxious. When will you go home?"
I didn't answer my own question, but asked a bunch of questions. I don't know whether he was concerned about whether I would go home, or whether he was blaming me for not going home and making Chen Jiao anxious?
"I'll go back in a few days. Did something happen at home? Are Zhou, Zhou Tianlei and the children okay?" Cheng Xiang asked.
"Boss Zhou is fine. The kids are fine too. What's wrong? If you miss them, just go home. Why don't you come back with me today?" Zhang Qingxiang asked in a naive voice.
"I, I didn't think about it, I just asked, as long as it's okay." Cheng Xiang muttered, "Then get busy, I'm leaving."
Zhang Qingxiang remembered that before arriving, Chen Tian told him that Boss Zhou was busy these days and had no time to pick up his sister-in-law.
Then he asked loudly: "Do you want to ask why Boss Zhou didn't come to pick you up?"
Cheng thought: "..." Straight men don't have to be so straight.
Zhang Qingxiang said to himself: "It's because something happened at the new factory."
