Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 16 Sons and Daughters

Mr. Zhuang touched Manbao’s head and said with a smile: “Today you take the pen and ink home first, and I will go to the Bai’s house tomorrow. You will come to the school the day after tomorrow. I will recognize some characters and wait for you to type a little more next year, and then start writing and formal reading."

  Tomorrow is fifteen, and his school only has two days off a month, that is, two days in the middle of the month and the sixteenth.

  Man Bao responded happily, and went home with his father and brother holding the box containing the ink and ink.

  As soon as he got home, Erya and Ertou, who were still at home, came up and touched the inkstone in awe.

   only stretched out his paw and was knocked out by Feng, and said, “Don’t touch it, this is sister-in-law, you have to stay away in the future, you know?”

  Man Bao became unhappy, and pulled Ertou and Erya and said, "When I learn how to write, I will teach you."

  Feng thought for a moment and said: "Sister, Erya, forget it, you can teach Ertou."

   "Why, Erya is smarter than Ertou."

  Feng laughed, “It’s useless for girls to learn this. Erya has to go to hogweed.”

  Man Baodao: "Why is it useless? After learning the characters, you can read the book by yourself in the future. There are many stories in the book, but it is good to see."

  Feng is funny, "If you have the time to read stories, why don't you go to the fields to pull weeds, let's tell her how many stories you want to hear."

Erya couldn't help but said, "Mother, I want to read."

  Feng patted her on the head, "Don't give up your aunt, have your clothes been washed today? Go to the riverside to wash your clothes if you haven't washed them."

   Er Ya was a little aggrieved, but did not dare to cry, lowered her head to carry dirty clothes.

Man Bao puffed up his face with anger, but before she lost her temper, Feng took her to a chair and sat down, carefully placing the box in front of her, "Sister, where is the paper you brought back?" Let Ertou find it out for you to read. If you are tired, take a break by yourself, and tell me when you are hungry, and I will get you something to eat."

  Man Bao stared at her second sister-in-law in a daze, thinking that this is the second sister-in-law he is familiar with, but the second sister-in-law who said just now is also the second sister-in-law!

  Man Bao sat in a chair in a depressed mood. Feng Shi could not see the sadness from her little face, so she arranged for her sister-in-law to go to the kitchen to work.

   Ertou has already ran to find the manuscript paper that Man Bao had brought back from Mr. Zhuang.

  Manbao has a lot of words and questions in his heart, so you can’t ask others, you can only talk to the system.

   "Ke Ke, why didn't Er Sao let Er Ya read?"

  The system simply and rudely tells Man Bao the results of future human research, "because she prefers boys to girls."

This is the first time I have heard the word Manbao, but the word is simple and easy to understand, just look at the meaning of the word.

  So she opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Why, isn't she also a woman?"

"This is the inertial thinking of mankind for thousands of years," the system said: "The root lies in the farming society, production depends on physical strength, and men are stronger than women, so they give priority to men. Over time, a deformed ethics has formed, and humans believe that there are only male offspring. It is the incense of the family, and women are only male vassals."

  Man Bao said: "My parents love me very much, and my brothers also value me."

  A burst of electric current flashed through the center of the system, and it truncated the conclusion it had inferred, and did not say anything.

  The system said: “You are the only exception. Didn’t you find out? The women in your family, except you, are all inferior to men.”

Keke is a collection system, not an education system, so he doesn’t know. There are some things he can’t say to his children. He gave Man Bao an example, “Your mother is under your father, and your sister-in-law’s status is also your brothers. Below, the treatment of your nieces is far less than that of your nephews."

"Usually, your brother and nephews eat dry rice for breakfast, and your sister-in-law and niece eat porridge. They can eat dry rice only when the farming is busy," the system said: "Your sister-in-laws have to wash your brother's 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."

   systematically said: "Your sister-in-laws are also doing hard work."

  Man Bao thought, too.

   She lowered her head for a moment, and asked, “Is it true that one day a woman’s strength is stronger than a man’s, and people turn to favor women over men again?"

   systematically said: “According to the research of future historians, the slave society is even more matrilineal, that is, a society dominated by women, which should belong to the host’s preference for women over men.”

  Man Bao asked curiously, "Are women stronger than men at that time?"

   "No, they win by giving birth, because they can have children and create labor, so they are above men, and their children only recognize their mothers and don't know their fathers."

  Man Bao pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not good. I don't like patriarchs or patriarchs. Everyone is human. Isn't it the same?"

The system seemed to gaze at its host in the air, and said: "The future is possible, because of the development of science and technology, the improvement of productivity, and the change of production relations. The future will be more mental work. In terms of intelligence, many girls are no worse than boys. So slowly, the two can stand on the same plane."

Did Man Bao understand the first half of the sentence, and the system felt that it was too esoteric to explain the relationship between productivity and production relations, so it told Man Bao directly, "The economic base determines the superstructure. If your sister-in-law can earn more than your brother A lot of money, then your brother will have to listen to your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will be even harder."

  Man Bao grabbed her little face and asked, "Is that Erya will make money than Ertou, and Erya will love Erya more and make her literate?"

  The system said: "Theoretically yes."

Man Bao immediately jumped out of the chair and said solemnly, "I think this is wrong. Eryao should love her because Erya 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 rushed to the kitchen to find Feng, and said: "Er sister-in-law, Ertou and Erya, do you like Ertou better than Erya?"

  While washing the pot, Feng smiled and asked, "Where did you hear this from my sister? Ertou and Erya are my children. Why would I not like Erya?"

   "Then why don't you let Erya read to read?"

  Of course, Feng said: "She's useless studying."

  Man Bao was stunned, "Why, how could it be useless? Reading is very useful, otherwise, why do so many people spend money to study?"

   "That's a boy, do you think any girl spends money to study in the school?"

  Man Bao: "Me!"

  Feng couldn’t help being happy, “Sister, you’re different, and Mr. Zhuang doesn’t accept your bundle repairs. He doesn’t even plan to ask you to buy textbooks for nothing.”
