Meng Li stopped talking. He held the child and patted the child's back. The child still cried. Zhang Qi said:
"Hurry up and stop it, it's making people's ears hurt."
Meng Li said:
"Are you okay now?"
Zhang Qi said:
"fine."
"Then can you help comfort the child?"
Meng Li looked at Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi:
"It's not a woman's business to coax children."
Meng Li raised his eyebrows and said:
"I heard that we are now pursuing equality and equality between husband and wife, so how can coaxing children be my sole responsibility?"
"You are not free now, I still have clothes to wash."
In this era, how many men and women are shouting for equality and freedom, how many women are anxious to escape from the prison of arranged marriage, and how many men are despising the shortcomings of arranged marriage.
While talking about equality, I also feel that women should do things like raising children.
Zhang Qi is just a small microcosm of most men in this era.
In fact, Zhang Qi now has no means of making a living, so he just sits at home and inquires about Haicheng all day long.
Chatting with friends, etc. Zhang Qi's grandfather was a scholar in the past. Zhang Qi also read some books and sometimes read at home.
On the contrary, the client not only takes care of the children but also works as a female worker. All the money she earns from every stitch is used to support her family.
If the client hadn't been willing to do some work to earn a little money, Zhang Qi would have been even more embarrassed.
Everyone should be equal not only in the entire social environment, but also in the family and the relationship between husband and wife.
Even after a hundred years, this situation remained the same.
The man yelled that I was so tired from work and had so much mortgage and car payments on my head. When I got home, I lay on the sofa and looked at my phone and computer.
He couldn't see his wife, who worked hard to feed the children, mop the floor, and do laundry, and shared the mortgage and car payments with him.
Most men still think that housework is a woman’s business.
The client couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, and she didn't know what she should wish for. In this era, she felt that many things were extravagant.
Since Zhang Qi wants to pursue trendy ideas, he must also achieve what he pursues.
Zhang Qi looked at Meng Li with some surprise. This was the first time he heard the word equality from his wife.
And the look in his eyes was very direct.
He was speechless, stretched out his hand to take the child, and Meng Li said:
"You take the kids and I'll do the laundry."
Zhang Qi was a little at a loss as he held the child. He held the child very little. Meng Li turned around and went out. Zhang Qi looked at the child crying and couldn't help but say:
"do not Cry."
"Dad~~" The child looked at Zhang Qi.
He can already call me daddy.
Zhang Qi cried so hard that snot bubbled out of his nose. Zhang Qi was afraid that it would get on his gown, but he had nothing on his hands to wipe it off with.
Even more at a loss, I lowered my head and searched around the room, and found a piece of the child's diaper to wipe the child with.
He put the child on the ground again and led the child to walk with his waist bent. The child gradually stopped crying. Zhang Qi bent behind the child and led the child to Meng Li.
Meng Li was washing clothes and ignored Zhang Qi who was walking around in front of her with her child.
After bending down for a long time, Zhang Qi felt that his waist was sore. He couldn't help but straighten up, slightly supporting the child with one hand, and clenching the other hand into a fist to beat his waist.
The child didn't stand firm, fell to the ground again, and started crying again.
Zhang Qi felt a little impatient and looked at Meng Li:
"Can't you put the child to sleep before washing him?"
Meng Li: "The child just woke up and fell asleep. What do you think of the child?"
Zhang Qi:…
"How about you do the laundry and I'll take care of the kids?" Meng Li asked.
Zhang Qi glanced at Meng Li's hand soaked in the wooden basin. Although the weather was not too cold, the water was still cold and a little red from the cold.
Don't want to wash it.
Zhang Qi silently carried the child away. Seeing that the child's shoes were stained on his gown, Zhang Qi felt even more annoyed, but he didn't want to get angry and his expression wasn't very good.
The child would cry for a while, either bumping into each other or being uncomfortable in Zhang Qi's arms. Zhang Qi was completely annoyed. Seeing Meng Li hanging clothes, he directly put the child into Meng Li's hands and said:
"I have something to do and I'm going out for a while."
Meng Li said:
"Come back for dinner tonight?"
Zhang Qi said:
"No."
Meng Li nodded, Zhang Qi patted his gown, combed his hair with his hands, turned around and left.
Meng Li held the child in his arms and continued to dry the clothes. He took the child to the butcher shop at the corner of the street and bought some meat. It was getting dark.
When I got home, I chopped the meat into minced meat, put the minced meat into the rice, made a lean meat porridge, cooked some vegetables in it, and ate some for myself and some for the children.
It is cooked very soft and even children can eat it.
It feels like the child is greedy for meat and eats it very deliciously.
The adults and children haven't eaten meat for a long time, and the children fell asleep after eating. Meng Li practiced cross-legged.
If she had known that the world was like this before, she should have exchanged it for some guns and ammunition so that she could defend herself. The world is too chaotic now.
Warlords from all sides are separatist, and invaders are on the rampage. In troubled times, there is no shortage of thieves and bandits. The people are in dire straits and struggling to survive.
This is an era that connects the past and the future, pushing the country towards modernization. With the bankruptcy of the old system, the new era and new ideas impact everyone, resulting in a large number of divorced people.
The client is not alone.
But the client had very deep grievances, and her death was related to her divorce.
Sometimes Meng Li tries to analyze these things from an objective perspective. All he can do is to be loyal to others as entrusted by others. After all, the entruster has given his soul power.
It wasn't until Meng Li felt a trace of spiritual power in his Dantian that he heard Zhang Qi's voice coming back from outside. Meng Li stopped his work, placed the child in the middle, and slept in the innermost part.
After a while, Zhang Qi came in in the dark, and Meng Li smelled a faint smell of alcohol on Zhang Qi's body.
Zhang Qi thought that Meng Li was asleep, lying on the outside. He didn't know what was thinking in his mind, and couldn't fall asleep.
Sighing softly from time to time.
Obviously worried, Meng Li turned over and said:
"came back?"
Zhang Qi asked unexpectedly:
"You haven't slept yet?"
Meng Li: "No."
Zhang Qi said oh and was silent.
There are many words in his heart, but the person next to him is obviously not the person to whom he confides his heart.
A young woman with old ideas.
Meng Li said:
"You look quite melancholy."
"Do you want to go to Haicheng? Let's go to Haicheng together?"
Zhang Qi was even more surprised. He sat up, looked in the direction of Meng Li, and asked:
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn't you say it was dangerous outside?"
Meng Li said:
"If you want to go, I can't stop you. There are no old people to worry about at home. We are all young. It's okay to go out and have a try."
Zhang Qi still had a hard time digesting it. He mentioned it many times but refused to go. Now that he said he wanted to go, he didn't feel excited in his heart. Instead, he felt a little hesitant for no reason.
