The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

Tian Tian also met Tian Lili during the holiday and felt that giving birth to a child is indeed very exhausting. Tian Lili is only in her early twenties now, but she looks much older. She looks no different from a 30-year-old, and her energy and spirit are much worse.

Tian Tian actually doesn't have any good impression of Li Jianjun. When Tian Lili needed Li Jianjun the most, Li Jianjun was not by her side, causing Tian Lili to give birth to the child alone. If Tian Lili had not returned to her parents' home before giving birth, there would probably be two deaths by now.

Although Old Lady Tian did not explain it to Tian Tian in detail, everyone in the village was very observant and knew that Tian Lili had a difficult delivery and almost died in the hospital. They talked about it a lot in private, which was quite shocking to Tian Tian.

Although she had never given birth, she knew that a baby should be born head down. When Tian Lili gave birth, the baby was born buttocks down.

Tian Tian didn't even dare to imagine how much pain Tian Lili had suffered when she gave birth to her child.

Later, when Tian Lili was discharged from the confinement period, Tian Tian went to see her. She finally understood why it was said that giving birth was harmful to the body. Tian Lili looked much older. Even though Second Aunt had taken good care of her during the confinement period, feeding her brown sugar and eggs every day, and even killing three old hens in the house for Tian Lili to replenish her body, Tian Lili still looked very old and weak. Although her body seemed to have recovered on the surface, the blood and energy taken away by childbirth was difficult to restore.

As a result, Tian Lili suffered here, while Li Jianjun was earning money far away. He knew nothing about what was happening here, let alone how much Tian Lili had suffered to give birth to this child. He also didn't know how lucky Tian Lili was to survive.

He didn't take any responsibility at all, but instead became a father without any pain.

"He was not here when Sister Lili gave birth, which was so scary. Now that the chubby baby boy is born and can talk and call people, he is back. Why didn't he say that he bought some nutritional supplements and sent them back? He clearly knows his mother's character. Yet he still dared to send money directly." Tian Tian said unhappily.

Li Jianjun knew that Tian Lili was pregnant before he left. Even a fool knows that a woman is pregnant for ten months, and he can calculate when Tian Lili will give birth. He also knows what kind of person his mother is and how stingy she is. She is reluctant to spend a penny, and she doesn't like Tian Lili as a daughter-in-law. Even if he takes the money back, he will never spend it on Tian Lili. Knowing this, he still foolishly sent money, and didn't even buy some supplements that Tian Lili could use and send it back.

It is obvious that he does not value Tian Lili as his daughter-in-law at all, which is why he would do such a thing. If he was more thoughtful, he would know to get some red dates and brown sugar for Tian Lili to replenish her qi and blood.

Now Tian Lili has let it go and is no longer so respectful to her mother-in-law. She is living a happy life. But he suddenly came back. It's really disgusting.

"What is this talking about? Sister Lili giving birth to a child. What does it have to do with Brother-in-law Li? Isn't he also serving in the army outside to earn money to support the family? Even if he comes back, he can't help much." Shen Lingling said.

Tian Tian turned around and looked at Shen Lingling in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Shen Lingling would actually say such a thing.

"How come it has nothing to do with him? Wasn't the child born by Sister Lili his? His wife gave birth to the child, and he was by her side. Isn't that what he should do? What do you mean he can't help? At the beginning, having him by her side could also bring psychological comfort to Sister Lili. He is suddenly out there earning money to support the family, but Sister Lili is not idle at home either. Are his parents also taking care of them? Is Sister Lili helping with farm work in the fields? She is also the one who washes their dirty clothes. Why should his contribution outside be considered contribution, while Sister Lili's work at home is just as it should be."

Shen Lingling felt that she had said the wrong thing right after she finished speaking. Now seeing Tian Tian talking so much, she also knew that Tian Lili was a member of the Tian family. Although she had never met Tian Tian, ​​they were sisters who grew up together after all. So she just thought that Tian Tian was feeling sorry for Tian Lili.

Shen Lingling was not angry either. She apologized to Tian Tian with a smile, "I said the wrong thing. I didn't think before I spoke."

Tian Tian was only angry at Li Jianjun, not at Shen Lingling.

But she still looked at Shen Lingling with a bit of disappointment, "You should be more careful. Don't think it's your responsibility to do so much housework after you marry Fang Siwen. You are so stupid as to take on all the work yourself."

Shen Lingling didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "Isn't it like this in our family? Dad and the others work outside, and we take care of the housework."

The idea that men work outside and women work inside has been around for thousands of years, and it's impossible to correct it in a short time, but Tian Tian still wants Shen Lingling not to ignore her own efforts. Housework is also very tiring, okay?

Even though she didn't work in the fields, it was Tian Tian who always helped Old Lady Tian with the housework. She knew that there might not be much housework to do, but she could still spend a whole day doing it in small pieces.

For example, when she gets up in the morning, Old Mrs. Tian goes out to sweep the yard, feed the chickens, pick up eggs, and then burn firewood to prepare.

When I cook, I cook for the whole family. After cooking, I have to wash the dishes for the whole family, then clean the stove. After cleaning the stove, I have to pick up the vegetables in the vegetable garden. When the weather is not too hot, I go to the river to wash clothes. When I come back, I have to wear a quilt and do some mending.

At noon, I have to cook a meal each, and the day passes like this.

Then we have to wait for the season to work. In the fall, we dry all kinds of vegetables. In the summer, we make potato starch and dry potatoes.

Tian Tian's family has a lot to eat, including this kind of dried vegetables and that kind of dried vegetables, as well as pickles in jars of various sizes, all of which were prepared by Old Mrs. Tian.

None of these jobs are done in the open. If Tian Tian hadn't been doing them for so many years, no one would have known that Old Mrs. Tian is so busy all day long.

Fortunately, neither her father nor her second uncle thinks that it is natural for women to do these things. Even if they are busy outside all day, they will do something within their ability when they come back.
