Five years later
"Liu Nan, Liu Nan!"
Pan Xiuluo shouted a few times outside the yard.
"Where did this dead girl go? She said she would stay at home to help her sister wash vegetables. The little girl knew that she was out in the wild, and she didn't look like a girl's home at all."
The old lady stomped her feet angrily. She was obviously two children of the same mother. How could her elder sister be so well-behaved and sensible, while her younger sister was so naughty and naughty.
"Mom, I'll just help the second sister."
Jiang Chaonan said obediently, for fear that grandma would get angry and hurt her body.
"You, you know that you are protecting that girl, and you don't even think about whether they are thinking about your sister."
The old lady has thought about it, she must not let that little girl go easily this time.
When it was time to eat at noon, Jiang Liunan, who was covered in mud, finally came back.
"Milk-"
Seeing the grandma who was guarding the door like a doorkeeper, Jiang Liunan's heart tightened, thinking of what grandma told her before going out. Today, grandma seems to have arranged for her to help her with the dishes, but she was having fun and gave everything to her. forget.
Five years was enough time for Jiang Liunan to know that the old lady in front of her was no longer the old man who spoiled her unconditionally, but the arrogance developed over the past 60 years could not be changed in just a few years. Self-supporting the benefits of rebirth, he believes that even if he becomes a woman, he will have great prospects in the future, and there is no need to be afraid of an old lady.
But even though she thought so in her heart, she couldn't help shaking when she saw the fierce-faced grandma Jiang Liunan.
It's also her fault that she has the body of a daughter now. Obviously, he was invincible in the village in his previous life. No child in the whole village was beaten by him. When he was a child, other parents came to the door and complained. For Jiang Liunan, it was a common occurrence. , but it's different now. I don't know if it's because of the girl's weak body or because she's too young now. Several fights ended in failure.
Today, it was because of a dispute with a little girl from the same village that she was pressed into a mud puddle, and her clothes were all soiled.
Jiang Liunan is still very convinced of his own abilities. Didn't he see the world's "self" as the invincible player in the world, and a group of children called "my" big brother
Although it was vaguely different from what he remembered, Jiang Liunan still felt that he was right.
"What are you doing, do you know what to do today?"
Pan Xiuluo stared at the mud monkey in front of her, and she was angry.
"It's time to help the second sister wash the vegetables."
Jiang Liunan muttered, "Why do I have to help the second sister wash the vegetables, isn't the second sister doing a good job by herself?"
She is only five years old now, does she ask a five-year-old child to help with the dishes
Jiang Liunan has long forgotten that it is not only the girls from the Jiang family, but most of these girls born in the countryside are helping the family with chores. Many dolls do work when they are five or six years old, not only helping the family to wash vegetables. .
"I'm still talking back. You, a girl, don't learn to do laundry and cooking, and you plan to be an old girl for a lifetime in the future?"
In Pan Xiuluo's mind, housework such as laundry and cooking should be done by women. A woman who can't cook is not a good woman, and a woman who can't do laundry and cleaning is not a virtuous woman. Favorite little daughter-in-law.
So when I was a little Pan Xiuluo, I trained my granddaughters to learn these skills, hoping that the granddaughters could take good care of their husbands after they got married and get praise from their in-laws.
Not only Pan Xiuluo, but in fact many people think this way. As the old saying goes, men are outsiders, women are inside, and women have to manage the house well, so that men can work hard outside with confidence.
The little granddaughter was obviously too noisy. Pan Xiuluo had thought about it early in the morning, and she wanted to sharpen her temper while she was still young.
"Why do these jobs have to be done by women? Now that women earn money, can't men share the housework?"
Jiang Liunan still wanted to become a man, but who made her a woman now, for her own sake, she also had to correct the old lady's thinking.
"Hahaha, Aunt Pan, your five girls are so funny. Women let men do housework. What a powerful woman!"
"Hahaha, Wu Niu has big ambitions and will raise a man who eats soft rice in the future."
A group of women passing by heard Jiang Liunan's ambition and couldn't help laughing out loud. How could a man help with housework these days, no matter how savage a daughter-in-law was, she wouldn't let a man help with laundry and cooking.
"Little girl is fooling around!"
Pan Xiuluo responded with a smile, and then quickly dragged the little granddaughter into the house, for fear that she would say something shocking and ruin the reputation of the other granddaughters.
"I don't know where you heard some nonsense. Let me tell you, you have to help with this housework. It doesn't make sense for your sisters to help with things. You are happy when you are young."
Pan Xiuluo felt that this granddaughter was weird and always thought about something out of place.
"Cousin doesn't do anything, why doesn't the milk scold him?"
Jiang Liunan retorted, although she knew that it was "myself", but seeing "myself" enjoying happiness, and she suffered, sometimes she couldn't help being jealous, why did God not send her back to her original body when she was reborn Inside.
"Can you compare with your cousin?"
Pan Xiuluo laughed angrily, this little guy was thinking about something every day.
"What you eat and wear now is all given by your uncle. You still compare yourself with your cousin? Don't think about how much benefit you have taken from your cousin."
The old lady analyzed her granddaughter: "Okay, you don't want to do schoolwork, you want to find a man who can share the housework with you, I will ask you, do you have any skills? What ability do you have for those who are willing to help your daughter-in-law with the housework? Does a man see you?"
At this moment, the old lady felt that the one standing in front of her was not a five-year-old girl at all, and some of her thoughts had even surpassed those of her eldest granddaughter, Jiang Yanan, so she planned to treat this child with the attitude of an adult.
"Does your mother's family depend on you?"
The first question from the old lady, although the two sisters Jiang Liunan and Jiang Shengnan were raised by Jiang Jianjun, they are essentially the daughters of Jiang Xiangdang and his wife. To raise them is to do the best of benevolence and righteousness, and it is impossible to give them a decent portion in the future. dowry.
On the other hand, Jiang Xiangdang and his wife did not have these two daughters, and it was more like a daydream to want to rely on them.
"Are you good looking?"
The old lady's second question is that men are also very practical. They either want money or color, or you really have the ability to conquer each other with your own personality charm.
Although Jiang Liunan is a five-year-old girl, she knows that she will not look good in the future based on her current face. It is basically impossible to attract men with her face, unless the other party has a good taste.
"Do you have any great skills?"
The third question is related to her previous question, whether she has the ability to attract a man who is willing to share all the housework with her.
Although the old lady's three questions are a bit one-sided, I have to admit that this is what both parties need to weigh in the marriage market now.
"What do you think marriage is written in the book? You want to be lazy, and you don't want to do anything, but I tell you, this world is unfair to women, you think women are cheap bones, you can quit We still have to fight for work, isn’t it because the world has too many restrictions on us women, so why do we have to do it?”
The old lady doesn't know what the world will be like in the future. Anyway, given the environment in which she lives, even if the status of women has improved over the years, the improvement is limited.
But now it is much better than in the early years. Girls can also study, and those who have the ability can also work and support their families like men. The essence of family status is the level of contribution. Whoever earns more money is the boss. If she really has the ability to make money, maybe she can really do less housework as she wishes.
As for women who don't earn money, although they do a lot of housework and take care of their children, they are still looked down upon without bringing in the money. This is the prejudice of the world, but many people can't change this prejudice.
Pan Xiuluo feels that the girls today are very lucky, they had no choice at that time, and now they at least have the right to go out.
"From tomorrow onwards, if you want to play, you can only play after you finish the housework, or I'll send you back to your parents' house. If you really don't want to do housework, then learn from your cousin Yanan and Shengnan. Cousin, when the time comes, you will be able to make money, and I will take care of whether you do housework or not."
The old lady gave her granddaughter an ultimatum.
"Being a woman is never easy."
After all, the old lady urged Jiang Liunan to take a bath and change her clothes, and then she didn't care what her reaction was after hearing this, she walked to the kitchen on her own, ready to get the tableware.
"Is it really that hard to be a woman?"
Jiang Liunan was a little frustrated, because he already had a clear answer in his heart.
In his last life, his daughter-in-law had been sloppy enough, and kept digging his family's money to subsidize his own family's family, but that was the case, that woman also tacitly agreed that housework was a woman's business, and never let him worry about it until later. He couldn't get any money out of his hands, and he couldn't do it anymore, so that woman started to treat him slowly.
But at that time, although she didn't care about her, she began to worry about her son's family. He often heard complaints from her about helping her son take care of the children, and she often complained that her daughter-in-law did not take good care of her children and grandchildren. Among these things, men As if hidden.
In the past, Jiang Liunan didn't think there was any problem with this. Men should do big things. How can they be bothered by such small things? As for women, if they can't even do this little thing well, she can be regarded as a qualified woman.
It wasn't until now that he became a woman that he realized that being a woman was so difficult, so difficult.
