Rebirth of India: Superior

Old Patela suddenly asked Shaklu in a low voice: "By the way, little Shaklu, how about you use your divination skills to divine whether the child is a boy or a girl?"

"What's the purpose of divination?" Shaklu asked in confusion.

"Don't you want to know whether the child is a boy or a girl?" Old Patela asked with the same puzzled look.

At this time, Shakru finally understood what old Patela meant. As mentioned before, India is an extremely patriarchal country. Even now, there are many more marriageable men in India than marriageable women, and even many young men are Forced to be a bachelor, this concept has not changed. "I wish you a daughter" is still a vicious curse. There are even some evil sacrifices in some villages just to pray for the birth of a boy.

However, Shakru, who grew up in China and was accustomed to the concept of gender equality, did not care about this, so he replied nonchalantly: "Grandpa, I don't think it is necessary. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is not necessary." My child?" Then he joked to old Patela: "And grandpa, I think you treat Amisha much better than your grandchildren. You don't dote on her just because she is a girl. ”

"Of course my Amisha is much cuter than those brats. But your situation is different from mine. You need a boy to inherit your property." Old Patela continued to persuade.

"Who said girls can't inherit the property? And since Amisa and I can have the first one, then naturally we can have the second one. We are still young, don't be in a hurry, just have a few more. Anyway, I am not I can't afford it. Besides, she might be pregnant with a boy now," Shaklu said to comfort the old Patela.

Old Patela stared at Shaklu for a long time, and then sighed and said: "Little Shaklu, although I have known you for ten years, and I think I am very familiar with your personality, I don't know why. I have always found you to be a very strange person. If I hadn’t known that you grew up in New Delhi and were a Brahmin child, I would have doubted whether you were an Indian after all, because of your mindset and certain traits. The philosophy is nothing like that of a kid who grew up in New Delhi.”

"This old guy's eyes are really poisonous, but it's no wonder that even though I have been in India for ten years, I still can't adapt to some aspects." Shakru muttered secretly in his heart.

But on the surface, he still said carelessly: "Grandpa, you are too old and can't keep up with the pace of young people. There is a special term for this phenomenon, called generation gap."

Old Patela snorted coldly, stopped talking, stood up and said: "I'm going to see my granddaughter." Then she turned around and confessed: "You just said it yourself, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, then everything will be fine." Once Amisha really gives birth to a daughter, you can’t treat her badly because of this.”

Shakru repeatedly promised: "Grandpa, don't worry, I swear I will never do it."

Nie Weier is an ordinary employee of Polaris Pharmaceutical Factory. Although his position is very low, he is very satisfied with this job, because here not only the salary is good, the work is not tiring, but the most important thing is that there is no discrimination and no one looks down on him. He is from a lower caste, so he comes early every day and works very hard.

On this day, he still came to the factory early, but he found that the factory seemed a little different today, because everyone seemed to be in a very good mood. Although everyone usually looked very happy, today it seemed that everyone was very happy. Is extremely happy.

Sure enough, a co-worker saw him and shouted to him: "Nie Weier, go to the finance department quickly, there is a bonus for you today!"

"Bonus? Today is not a holiday, how can there be a bonus?" Polaris will give out bonuses during holidays. Although the amount is not large, it is at least a token of the boss's holiday greetings to employees, but today is not a holiday at all. None of them, so Nie Weier felt very strange.

At this time, the co-worker walked up to Nie Weier and whispered to him: "It is said that because my wife is pregnant, the boss is happy and gives us bonuses. Go get it quickly. Remember to say a few words of congratulations to the boss." Such auspicious words.”

Nie Weier nodded repeatedly and said: "That's natural. The boss is so kind to us. Now that he has met a happy event, I not only want to congratulate him, but also go to the temple to burn incense to the Bodhisattva after work and let him bless the boss." Mother and son are safe!”

The co-worker patted his head and said, "Yeah, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Remember to call me when you get off work later and I will go with you."

The same scene happened in all Shaklu's industries. Even every employee in the two branches in China received a red envelope of 200 yuan.

It may be due to the differences in customs and culture between the two countries, or it may be due to other reasons. The effect of Shakru's red envelopes here is far less than that in India.

"Hey, this Indian boss is interesting. If his daughter-in-law is pregnant, she will be given two hundred yuan per person. Do you think he has money to burn?" A man with an unshaven beard and wearing work clothes of the Polaris Branch said to his companions while counting the money. said.

The companion retorted: "What's wrong? Isn't it good to give you money? Just be content, this is where we are. If it were a former state-owned enterprise factory, then the factory director's family would have a happy event, and you were not allowed to give others gifts, and Can you afford two hundred dollars?"

The bearded man shrank his neck: "What you said makes sense. Don't tell me. I have been giving gifts to leaders these years. This is the first time I have seen a leader giving money to his subordinates on happy occasions."

Then he changed the topic and said, "Hey, you said that each person will receive 200 for the pregnancy, but when the baby is born, each person will receive 500, right?"

The companion curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You think so well, maybe if I really give birth, not only will I not be paid, but I will have to find ways to deduct our wages?"

"Hey? Why is this?" The bearded man asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Haven't you heard that the Indians are more patriarchal than us? Giving birth to a daughter is equivalent to swearing in them. So if the boss's wife gives birth to a daughter, how can he get a bonus? "The companion explained.

The bearded man nodded and said: "I think I heard someone say this before, oh, then we have to pray that the boss's family will never give birth to a girl, but a big fat boy!"

Lu Han, who heard these discussions not far away, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Fortunately, the boss couldn't hear it, otherwise he would be angry to death!
