Mr. Zhuang touched Man Bao's head, and said with a smile: "Today, you take the pen and ink home first, and I will go to Bai's house tomorrow when I rest, and you come to the school the day after tomorrow. You are still young, so you don't need to learn anything specially, just follow me first." I will recognize some characters, and when you type a little more next year, I will start writing and formally reading.”
Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and his school only has two days off in a month, that is, the middle of the month and the sixteenth day.
Man Bao agreed happily, and went home with his father and brother, holding the box containing the pen, ink and inkstone.
As soon as they got home, Erya and Ertou, who were still at home, came up and touched the inkstone with their hands in awe.
He just stretched out his claws and was knocked off by Feng Shi, saying: "Don't touch it, this belongs to my aunt, you should stay away from it in the future, you know?"
Man Bao was not happy, he pulled Er Tou and Er Ya and said: "When I learn how to write, I will teach you."
Feng Shi thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, it's fine with Erya, you can just teach Erya."
"Why, Erya is smarter than Ertou."
Feng smiled, "It's useless for a girl to learn this, Erya has to hunt pigweed."
Man Bao said: "Why is it useless? After learning the characters, I will be able to read books by myself in the future. There are many stories in the book, which are very good-looking."
Feng Shi laughed, "If you have the time to read stories, it's better to go to the field to pull weeds. Let's tell her as many stories as you want to hear."
Erya couldn't help but said, "Mother, I want to read."
Feng patted her on the head, "Don't tease your aunt, have you washed today's clothes? If you haven't washed them, go to the river to wash your clothes."
Er Ya felt a little wronged, but she didn't dare to cry out, and lowered her head to pick up the dirty clothes.
Man Bao puffed up his face with anger, but before she lost her temper, Feng carried her to a chair and sat down, carefully placed the box in front of her, "Sister, where is the paper you brought back earlier? Let Ertou find out for you to read, if you are tired, take a rest by yourself, tell me when you are hungry, and I will get you something to eat."
Man Bao looked at the second sister-in-law blankly, thinking that this was the second sister-in-law he was familiar with, but the one who said Erya just now was also the second sister-in-law!
Man Bao sat on the chair in a depressed mood. Feng couldn't see the sadness from her little face, so she arranged for the sister-in-law to go to the kitchen to work.
Ertou has already gone to find the manuscript paper that Man Bao brought back from Mr. Zhuang.
Man Bao has a lot of things to say and many questions in his mind, he can't ask others, he can only talk to the system.
"Keke, why doesn't the second sister-in-law let Erya know how to read?"
The system simply and rudely told Man Bao the research results of future humans, "Because she favors boys over girls."
This is the first time I heard the word Manbao, but it is simple and easy to understand, just look at the meaning of the word.
So she widened her eyes slightly and asked, "Why, isn't she a woman too?"
"This is the habitual thinking of human beings for thousands of years," said the system: "The root is in the farming society. Production depends on physical strength, and men are stronger than women, so they favor men. Over time, deformed ethics have formed. Humans believe that only male offspring It is the incense of the family, and women are just vassals of men."
Man Bao said: "My parents love me very much, and my brothers also value me."
A burst of current flashed through the center of the system, and it cut off the conclusion it had deduced, without saying a word.
The system said: "You are the only exception. Haven't you noticed that the status of the women in your family is lower than that of men except you?"
Keke is a collection system, not an education system, so he doesn't know, some things can't be said to children, he gave Man Bao an example, "Your mother is under your father, and your sisters-in-law are also in the same position as your brothers Below you, the treatment of your nieces is far inferior to that of your nephews."
"Usually, for breakfast, your brothers and nephews eat dry rice, and your sister-in-law and nieces eat porridge. They can only eat dry rice when the farming season is busy," the system said: "Your sisters-in-law have to wash your brothers' feet. Water, pour footwashing water, your brothers never bring footwashing water to your sister-in-laws."
Man Bao was stunned, "My mother said that my brothers have to do hard work, so they have to eat dry food."
The system said: "Your sisters-in-law are also doing hard work."
Man Bao thought, yes.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked: "Is it possible that one day women's strength is greater than that of men, and people turn around to favor women over men?"
The system said: "According to the research of future historians, the slave society was a matriarchal clan, that is, a society dominated by women, and should belong to the patriarchy mentioned by the host."
Man Bao asked curiously, "Are women stronger than men back then?"
"No, they win by procreation, because they can bear children and create labor force, so their status is higher than that of men, and their children only recognize their mothers, not their fathers."
Man Bao pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Neither is good. I don't like patriarchy, and I don't like patriarchy. We are all human, so is it different?"
The system seemed to stare at its host in the air, before saying for a while: "The future is possible, because of the development of technology, the improvement of productivity, and the change of production relations. The future will be more about mental work. In terms of intelligence, many girls are no worse than boys. So slowly, the two can stand on the same plane."
Did Manbao understand the first half of the sentence? The system also felt that it was too esoteric to explain the relationship between productivity and production relations, so it directly told Manbao, "The economic base determines the superstructure. If your sister-in-law earns more money than your brother If you have a lot of money, your brother will have to listen to your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will be more stubborn."
Man Bao scratched his face and asked, "Does that mean Erya can make more money than Ertou, and Erya will love Erya more and let her learn to read?"
The system said: "In theory, yes."
Man Bao immediately jumped off the chair and said seriously: "I don't think this is right. The second sister-in-law should love Er Ya because she is her daughter. How can she love her because she can make money? I'm going to persuade her Second sister-in-law."
The system is not blocked.
Man Bao hurriedly ran to the kitchen to find Feng Shi, and said, "Second sister-in-law, Ertou and Erya, do you like Ertou more than Erya?"
While washing the pot, Feng asked with a smile, "Where did you hear that, my aunt? Both Ertou and Erya are my children, so why don't I like Erya?"
"Then why don't you let Er Ya read and write?"
Feng Shi took it for granted, "It's useless for her to study."
Man Bao was stunned, "Why, how could it be useless? Reading is of great use, otherwise why do so many people spend money to study?"
"That's a boy, do you think any girl pays to go to school to study?"
Man Bao: "Me!"
Feng couldn't help being happy, "Sister-in-law, you are different, and Mr. Zhuang doesn't accept your bundle repair, and he doesn't even plan to ask you to buy textbooks. It didn't cost much."
