They helped with repairs, sweeping the yard, and moving firewood. If it was possible to prevent Lin Meiyu and the others from doing this, Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin would definitely not let them do it.
"That's definitely different. Whether you're outside or at home, you're making contributions to the family. What I mean is that you shouldn't think that it's your duty as a woman to do these things. Doing these big and small things is also very tiring." Tian Tian said.
She was really worried when she heard what Shen Lingling said. Shen Lingling would think that doing this was normal and there was nothing worth saying about it.
Tian Yun saw several classmates at school whose parents were all officials, and he also felt that what Tian Tian said was very right.
"It's just that we women are not as physically strong as men, otherwise we can do all the work outside. One of my classmates has a mother who is also the president of the labor union. She and her father are both busy outside, so they have no time to do housework. If everyone didn't have work outside before, it would be fine, but now everyone has work outside, so why should women still have to clean the house?"
"In the future, don't think that you don't do as much as Fang Siwen just because Fang Siwen is working outside and you are working at home. Why do you feel inferior to others even though you are doing all the work? It doesn't make sense." Tian Yun said to Shen Lingling. She also felt that Shen Lingling's personality had softened a little.
But Shen Lingling seemed a little impatient. She just said one wrong thing, but the two of them started talking to her a lot, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.
Shen Lingling was simple-minded, and she would not hide her thoughts, and they were all on her face. Therefore, Tian Yun and Tian Tian naturally noticed that she was unhappy, and the two of them simply stopped talking about this matter and talked about other things.
After chatting for a while in the house, it was time for lunch. Tian Tian and Shen Lingling said goodbye to Tian Yun and prepared to go home. On the way back, Shen Lingling and Tian Tian were quite convenient. The two walked together for a while, and then they separated when they reached a fork in the road.
When Tian Tian was about to reach home after turning a corner, a person suddenly jumped out from the pile of firewood next to her.
Tian Tian, who was humming a song, was startled. When she looked carefully, she realized that it was Gu Zhao.
"Why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Tian Tian took a deep breath and then asked.
Gu Zhao didn't expect that he scared Tian Tian so much, and felt a little embarrassed. "I don't have anything to do, I just want to ask you, when will your brother come back?"
Gu Zhao also knew that Tian Yuan was going to college, and it was Tian Yuan who told Gu Zhao about it in person.
Even Fang Siwen and Qin Yifeng, who had a good relationship with Tian Yuan, were not told by Tian Yuan, which shows how good the relationship between Tian Yuan and Gu Zhao was.
After Tian Tian knew about this, she was actually a little puzzled, because she didn't usually see Gu Zhao and Tian Yuan together. Basically, the two of them didn't have much interaction, and they might just say a few words when they were working in the fields. Who knows why the relationship between the two of them is so good. I don't know why Tian Yuan dared to tell Gu Zhao such an important thing, and Gu Zhao did not spread this matter, which made Tian Tian's impression of Gu Zhao even better.
"How do you know my brother is coming back?" Tian Tian asked.
"Are you stupid? What time is it now? You are on vacation, and your brothers must be back by then." Gu Zhao couldn't help laughing.
Tian Tian also realized that she had asked a stupid question and smiled embarrassedly.
"We just received a letter from my brother yesterday. He said he had bought a ticket home. It will take some time for the letter to arrive from his school, but I guess my brother will be back in a day or two." Tian Tian said.
They said that Tian Yuan was now in college, but in fact, Tian Yuan was also in a military unit. Their unit had invited teachers from the former military academy to teach them. All the courses and schedules were no different from those in college, but it was not a university recognized by everyone.
But this school is still quite convincing in the army.
Furthermore, those teachers are also frightened by the current world. It is so hard to find a quiet place where they can teach in peace. The army does not have to worry too much about involving them in outside affairs, so they teach with extra care.
Even if the college entrance examination is resumed in the future, their academic qualifications will still be useful.
"That's fine!" Gu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter? Do you have something to do with my brother?" Tian Tian asked.
"I have something to talk to your brother about!" Gu Zhao said with a smile, but he didn't say what it was. Since Gu Zhao didn't say, Tian Tian didn't ask.
"Then I'll go home!" Tian Tian said and turned around and went home.
The whole family was sitting on the ground weaving straw mats.
Last year they made straw mats and sold them directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, making a lot of money.
This kind of thing could not be hidden from the surrounding brigades. They all knew about it as soon as the spring started selling things.
Now the Ula grass on the mountain has become a rare commodity. Every household cut a lot of Ula grass and brought it back, hoping to weave some mats to sell in the winter.
I used to worry every day that most people in the team had bought mattresses this year. What if I changed to new mattresses in the winter and no one bought them next year?
However, when Li Jingliang was selling things in the county town, he heard that a lot of straw mats were shipped to surrounding county towns last year, and this year's straw mats should also be shipped out.
Tiantian felt relieved after hearing this.
Because now all the surrounding brigades have started to weave straw mats, it means that their brigades can earn less money. If they just stick around in this small county, no matter how well they weave their mats, they won't be able to sell them.
Now these mats are actually being sold outside, which proves that the wedding characters they made this year can definitely be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and they can also make money.
Tian Tian was very happy when she heard this, and she offered to help them weave the mats.
Now that she was back home, Tian Tian was about to wash her hands when she was stopped by Old Lady Tian.
"Don't help us make the straw mat. It's getting late. Hurry up and wash your hands and cook."
It's already two o'clock and their dinner is not ready yet.
The main reason was that Old Mrs. Tian was almost done weaving the mat, and she was reluctant to let go. She always wanted to finish weaving the mat before cooking. As a result, she had been weaving until now, and it was not finished yet, so Tian Tian had to cook.
