Eating melons

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin only felt that their road to getting married was long and difficult.

Old Lady Li didn't believe what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi said at all. Which family would value a little girl so much? And if they really valued her so much, why would they let them go to the countryside?

There is more than one person who shares the same idea as Old Lady Li.

Old Lady Li looked at Wei Wei. This was the granddaughter-in-law she had chosen. The main reason was that Wei Wei seemed easier to control than Jiang Qi, so she couldn't let her run away.

"Why would your parents let you go to the countryside if they were so reluctant to let you marry far away? It's not easy to go back to the city these days!"

Old Lady Li's question woke up the people in the ox cart who were dizzy from what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi said.

Yes! If you love them so much, why would you let them go to the countryside? Isn't this a contradiction?

"Yes! Jiang Zhiqing, Wei Zhiqing, why did your families let you go to the countryside, and come so far away!"

Wei Wei sighed. "Isn't it true that every household, except for their only child, must have someone go to the countryside? I'm the only one in my family who's of the right age, and I just graduated from high school. If I don't go, who will?

My older sister who got married and had a baby, and my younger brothers and sisters who just started middle school! They’re not old enough yet!

Jiang Qi also sighed, "It's the same in my family. I'm the only one of the right age. My two brothers' children are about to go to school, and I'm the only one in the family who just graduated from high school.

My father also said that cadre families should set an example and support areas in need of development.

It's all about contributing to the country and society, no matter where you contribute."

As soon as Jiang Qi said this, everyone immediately understood that this was also forced.

This is the only daughter in the family who meets the requirements. As a leader, I have to take the lead, so I have no choice but to let them go to the countryside.

However, given the situation, it seems that they won't be able to stay in the countryside for long, and their families will definitely find a way to get them back.

Wei Wei also sighed, "My dad said the same thing, but my mom didn't know about our trip to Northeast China at first, so he got criticized and almost beaten to death by her."

Jiang Qi exclaimed, "Wow! Weiwei, we are alike. My dad also got beaten up by my mom because of this."

Wei Wei was also pleasantly surprised, "Really? Then we really are destined to be together! We haven't even talked about this before."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li in front of him became upset, "What? Your mother beats your father? Your mother is too unreasonable. How can she beat the head of the family? Where will his face be?"

When Wei Wei heard this, she immediately retorted, "Grandma, how can you say that?"

Everyone on the ox cart almost laughed out loud when Wei Wei called her "old lady".

But it’s okay for Wei Wei to call her that. Isn’t she just trying to match Wei Wei and her grandson?

But you can just call her "Grandma", but Wei Wei insisted on calling her "Old Grandma", which is very funny.

"Why can't this man beat his wife when he makes her angry? What's the point of saving face? Is having a wife important?"

Jiang Qi quickly agreed, "Right, right, right. He just got beaten up, but it allowed his wife to vent her anger. You know, too much anger can easily lead to breast hyperplasia. Of course, now that the anger is out, it's not a problem anymore."

Old Lady Li retorted, "Isn't this the opposite of Tian Gang? It's always men who beat women, how can women beat men?"

Jiang Qi immediately retorted, "Why can't women hit men? Grandma, you can't be so feudal.

Men should not hit women. If a man hits his wife, it means that he is incompetent and can only bully others at home. As soon as a man hits his wife, his wife will soon be separated from him.

Haven't you heard? The more a man loves his wife, the more blessings he will have and the more prosperous his family will be, right?

Old Lady Li was confused. "This has nothing to do with hitting a man! How can a woman hit a man to vent her anger?"

Jiang Qi: "Why can't she just hit the man to vent her anger? If his wife lets out her anger, won't his family be at peace?

He just got beaten up, and he swallowed his temporary grievances in exchange for the peace of the whole family. Therefore, a man should have a broad vision.

Besides, it is not shameful for a man to be beaten by his own wife, but it is shameful to be beaten by an outsider."

It’s no wonder that Liu Aiying felt that what these two people said was quite right.

Liu Aiying asked curiously, "Is it like this in your southern region?"

Wei Wei shook her head, "I don't know, I just know that women in our area who don't have jobs play cards in the morning, beat their sons in the afternoon, and beat their husbands in the evening.

A woman with a job works during the day and comes home at night to be beaten by her son and her husband."

Wei Weidao did not lie, but this was the situation in her family in later generations, which was basically like this.

Everyone couldn't believe it when they heard this.

Zhao Xing, who was beside Wei Wei, asked silently, "What about the girl?"

Wei Wei didn't react, "What daughter?"

Zhao Xing: "If a man beats his son, why not his daughter?"

Wei Wei: "My daughter helps my mother beat him up. Dad can't move, otherwise it will be a bit counter-productive. But the brothers can still beat him up."

Everyone on the oxcart: ...

Upon hearing this, Liu Aiying couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being the hometown of a great man. The men there are so ideologically conscious."

Wu Cuihua was a little curious, "Wei Zhiqing, who cooks in your family? Who does the housework?"

Without thinking, Wei Wei said, "My dad cooks, and my brother washes the dishes and sweeps the floor."

Old Lady Li asked, "What are you doing?"

Wei Wei: "My mom, my older sister, and my younger sister are responsible for eating, but my mom will also give us instructions."

Jiang Qi also chimed in, "It's the same at my house. My dad cooks, my eldest brother helps, my second brother washes the dishes and sweeps the floor, and my mom, sister-in-law, and I are responsible for eating."

Mrs. Li still didn't believe it. This was too outrageous. "I don't believe that all the men over there can cook."

Wei Wei looked at her like she was stupid. "What if a man can't cook for the New Year? He'll be laughed to death by everyone, and then all his dignity will be gone."

Mrs. Li was a little confused. "What does this have to do with the New Year?"

Wei Wei: "The custom in our area is that from the beginning of the Lunar New Year until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, women are not allowed to enter the kitchen or hold a spoon, especially for New Year's Eve dinner and ancestor worship.

During those days, women would not step into the kitchen at all, and all the work was done by the men in the family.

If women have to go into the kitchen during those days, it means that the man in that family is not good enough.

Also, on the day your son-in-law comes home, will you be able to eat what your mother-in-law and father-in-law prepare for you? Will you be able to eat it?

Old Lady Li was completely bewildered. "Is there still such a custom?"

Liu Aiying: "It's normal for each place to have its own customs. I've also heard that in many places, men are supposed to handle all aspects of ancestor worship."

Old Lady Li: "Men cook during Chinese New Year, so what do you do?"

Wei Wei: “Playing cards, mahjong, eating sunflower seeds, and chatting.”

Liu Aiying's focus was different. "Do you have sesame paste over there? I thought it wasn't available in the South!"

Wei Wei: "The mahjong we play over there is not the same as here. It's also a kind of card game, a form of entertainment, similar to playing mahjong."

Liu Aiying: “Is that so?”

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi looked at the people in the car who were doubting their lives and smiled secretly. They just couldn't believe that they would plan to marry a tigress.

I will kill you by then.

Wu Cuihua looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh, "Women in your place are really blessed. Men do everything."

Jiang Qi directly retorted, "What kind of enjoyment is that? Isn't that what he should do?

If he can't treat the girl who is the apple of his family's eye better than when she was in her parents' home, why would they marry her to him? His family can support her.

And giving birth to a child and raising a child is not easy. A beautiful girl's body becomes deformed and her health deteriorates after giving birth. These are the children she gave birth to for him, and he just did some work, so what's the big deal.

Not to mention how hard it is to be pregnant, how painful it is to give birth, and how tiring it is to raise a child.”

Wu Cuihua didn't expect that a little girl like Jiang Qi could know so much. "I didn't expect that a little girl like you could know so much."

Jiang Qi didn't have a good impression of Wu Cuihua at all, so he spoke to Wu Cuihua innocently.

"Auntie, didn't you tell your daughter this? Aren't these things mothers tell their daughters? Then you're not a qualified mother at all!"

Wu Cuihua was stunned. "Why should I tell this to my daughter?"

And why did she fail?

Jiang Qi: "After I tell her, she will love herself better and won't be fooled by others' words.

Having too many children is bad for your health. Saying that having many children brings you happiness is just an excuse men use to trick you into having children."

Wei Wei wanted to laugh after hearing this, but she had to hold it back. She didn't believe that there was anyone in the team who would dare to target her and Jiang Qi.

Not only does she know nothing and do nothing, she also likes to beat men and children. More importantly, she is unwilling to have children.

Who would dare to marry such a person? Would you marry her to be your ancestor?
