Chapter 36 Women Hold Up Half the Sky



But Zhang Yun is also a living person, and she thought she was used to being wronged.

But at this moment, someone looked at her tenderly and pityingly, and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work over the years", and my heart suddenly felt sour.

"Mrs. Zhang, your husband will only be detained for a few days and will be released after the investigation. Your allowance will be paid as usual. You must continue to live your life as usual."

"I know I should be the one to say these things, but I really feel sorry for you!

Lili, you are the boss. You manage the house in an orderly manner. You are also so blessed and capable.

But has the Zhao family, including your man, seen what you have given? ”

Jiang Ningning raised her hands covered with calluses and frostbite, "These hands can hold the plow and do housework, why can they control their own lives?"

The wind blew the dead leaves around the crowd's feet.

The young army's wife, who was at the scene originally came to join in the fun, now felt as if her feet had taken root. Why did I feel so aggrieved after listening to Jiang Ningning's words?

Zhang Yun shook her head in astonishment, "But is this how we women get here?"

The other military wives also nodded.

Since they were young, they have watched their mother run the household with the machines that never stop.

The elders told them that women must be hardworking and good at housework in order to marry a good man.

The husband’s family told them that a daughter-in-law’s duty is to carry on the family line and take good care of her husband.

So they really believe that women should be hardworking and willing to work hard, and are destined to sacrifice for their families, men, and children.

Even men beating women is justified because they do good things. If you do well, you will be beaten.

However, at that moment, more powerful words rang in my ears: "That was the old society that exploited us women. Even Comrade Chairman said that women hold up half the sky. If we go out to earn money to support our families, we will definitely earn more than men.

In terms of endurance, we women are worse than men. For example, we have to take care of the children, feed them, change their diapers, get up several times in the early morning, and continue to do housework during the day.

In terms of hard work, who is better at working on the fields in their hometown?

What are we missing? ”

The wives held their breath suddenly, as if stars were splashing into a haystack, and felt that a voice in their hearts was about to burst out.

“It’s an opportunity!”

Jiang Ningning stepped onto the bench, and the sunlight stretched her shadow very long on the wall.

She spoke eloquently, describing the new motherland of the future: "One day all girls can receive compulsory education like boys, women can go to college, work in high-end skyscrapers, build the motherland in the most difficult west, or take a spacecraft to the moon.

By then, marriage will no longer be an absolute cage, and nothing will be able to stop us women from moving towards a brighter future. ”

She changed the subject and her voice suddenly softened, like the thawing water in early spring seeping into the cracks of the rocks. "I know what you are afraid of. You are afraid that men will overturn the table, that people will gossip about you, and that people will stab you in the back when you go out. But if we all believe the nonsense that 'women are weak'..."

She tilted her head back, drank the milk powder in the cup, and then slammed it against the corner of the wall.

Bang!

The crows sleeping on the eaves were startled and fell heavily into Zhang Yun's heart.

"One day you will be beaten to death like this broken cup. How many lifetimes do you want to endure such a hellish life?"

Zhang Yun staggered twice, and the color on his face seemed to be drained away in an instant.

Facing Jiang Ningning's fiery and bright gaze, she actually felt ashamed and pulled Yaozu and turned away.

The military wives at the scene also failed to recover from this spiritual baptism, and their faces were still dazed when they left.

The courtyard returned to silence.

Jiang Ningning sat back on the stool and looked at the broken water cup in the corner, feeling distressed.

It was all because I was too excited and addicted to acting.

The Zhao family is like a cockroach that has been beaten to death, coming to provoke from time to time. It will probably take Zhang Yun’s brain a while to react, but the good news is that she can have some peace and quiet for a while.

The two little kids around him admire him very much.

"Mom, which university did you get into? I want to get into the same school as you in the future."

Manman rolled his eyes and thought, if he could go to the same school as his mom, he would be as awesome as her!

Jiang Ningning tapped his nose and said, "Mom only has a high school degree, but she doesn't have a college degree now."

"Why?" I can understand.

"I heard from Uncle Hat that he graduated from Kyoto University, which seems to be in the capital. Why can Uncle Hat go to university, but Mom can?"

Jiang Ningning thought for a moment and said, "Because all the teachers in the school have gone to farm and build the motherland, and they will come back later."

Manman suddenly realized and continued to ask: "Will Mom take the exam when they come back?"

In the admiring gazes of the two little kids who said, "My mom is the best in the world," Jiang Ningning was so coaxed by the sugar-coated bullet that she started bragging, "Go! And mom wants to go to Tsinghua University, the top university in the country."

Which high school student has not dreamed of studying at Tsinghua University or Peking University?

It's still early, and the kids will forget about it when they say it's time.

"Wow!"

The two big round eyes of the children widened, and even the yard could hear a round of applause.

"Ningning, you are so ambitious! I support you!"

puff!

Jiang Ningning almost choked, "Sister Wen, why are you here?"

She's just bragging.

Wen Xiuying had originally persuaded her son to take him to the Huo family, but she didn't expect to witness this exhilarating speech.

Before my sister was persecuted, she was a university teacher who promoted the idea of ​​female independence everywhere.

However, during that movement, he was reported by a female classmate whom he had rescued, and is now undergoing reform in the Northwest Farm.

Once upon a time, she, like Jiang Ningning, stood on the university podium and spoke passionately on the streets.

It is also because of her sister that Wen Xiuying, although working in the Women's Federation, is always cautious and does things in a proper manner.

Jiang Ningning's description of the future is indeed too beautiful, too much like a utopia.

However, Wen Xiuying knew a lot of information because of her family background, and it was vaguely about the reopening of the college entrance examination.

And this chaos may soon be over.

Originally, she wanted to invite Jiang Ningning to work as an intern at the Women's Federation, but now she has changed her mind and does not want such a talent to be buried.

Jiang Ningning stood up and went to greet him.

Take the college entrance examination again? All the dogs are gone!

In her previous life, she got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a donkey, and the test papers piled up at the head of her bed were taller than her.

It was with great difficulty that I fought my way out of the huge army of college entrance examination candidates and was admitted to a 211 university in the south. I instinctively felt a shadow.

She currently wants to just lie down and do nothing...

Before she could get past him, Xia Xia had already run up to Goudan and boasted to him, "My mother is going to take the entrance exam to Tsinghua University, and I want to go too."

Jiang Ningning's face stiffened slightly: "..."

Is this shooting oneself in the foot? There is also a subtle feeling of wanting to be a lazy fish but being forced to make progress!

Yes, definitely, she wants to lie down!

Goudan held his face with both hands and said exaggeratedly: "Xia Xia, you are amazing! I brought grandpa's book here, let's read it together, I can recognize the characters and I will teach you pinyin."

Xia Xia nodded with a red face.

The two little dumplings ran towards Jiang Ningning hand in hand.

She raised her hands on her hips with jealousy, her cheeks puffed up like a little frog: "Maybe, I don't need you to teach me, I will teach my sister myself."

Goudan was a good-tempered child. Not only did he not get angry, he also took out a thick book from his cotton-padded jacket and handed it to him.

I took a quick glance and was embarrassed to find that I didn't recognize any of the words on it.

But his expression was as steady as an old dog.

"Mom, is this book suitable for my sister to read?" He turned around and walked towards Jiang Ningning with very smooth movements.

Jiang Ningning also exposed him, looked down, and raised her eyebrows.

Originally she thought it was a story book, but she was too naive and superficial, and what she had in her hand was actually... A Brief History of Time!

It is not only a masterpiece of physics, but also a banned English book of this era. Although it is translated from English to Chinese, the author Hawking is a Chinese.
