"Huh? It's still dark, why is she working?"
"I told you, she's sweeping the streets. Do you think she's sitting in an office? If she doesn't sweep the streets now, then when will she sweep the streets?"
this……
"Is this true?"
"If it's not true, how could it be false?" Tang's mother said angrily, "Hurry up and go to sleep. Don't wake the children."
Tang Xiaoqiang scratched his hair, feeling a little annoyed.
real?
Is Tang Xiaofen really just a street sweeper?
Damn, he’s already boasting about how awesome he is, what should I do now?
Later, the brothers found out that his sister was a street sweeper.
A street sweeper girl becomes a mistress? That's hilarious.
He will never be able to hold his head up among his brothers in this life.
"I'll go out and take a look."
“Ahh…”
Tang's mother couldn't stop him and could only let him go.
There was no one on the street at that time, and Tang Xiaofen's clothes were so eye-catching. After searching around the street, he saw Tang Xiaofen soon.
But he hid in the dark and did not go up to talk to her.
Tang Xiaoqiang saw that Tang Xiaofen was indeed sweeping the street, and there was another older sister with her. The two of them were talking and laughing, and seemed to be quite happy sweeping the street.
He observed Tang Xiaofen for nearly an hour and confirmed that she was indeed sweeping the streets. Only then did he leave in disappointment.
"Damn it, that bitch Fang Qing tricked me into coming here."
Where is that damn Fang Qing?
No, he would have to find out tomorrow.
…
Tang's mother got up early in the morning to cook, then let the children eat and then she had to send them to school.
Tang Xiaoqiang kept coaxing them, trying to get something out of them.
However, the two children knew nothing about anything he asked and were a little afraid of him, so they hid behind Tang's mother.
Tang Xiaoqiang curled his lips and said, "I'm your uncle, I don't eat you, why are you hiding?"
Tang's mother: "Look at how ferocious you are. They don't know you, why don't you hide?"
"Why don't you recognize me? Xiaoyun and Xiaozhi, don't you recognize me?"
One of them nodded and the other shook his head.
Wang Zhi did know him, but Tang Yun hadn't seen him for several years. She was only a few years old, so it was normal that she didn't know him.
Tang Xiaoqiang: "Two white-eyed wolves."
Tang's mother said angrily, "You, as an uncle, came empty-handed and didn't even bring them a piece of candy, and you still have the nerve to call them ungrateful wolves."
Tang Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said, "It's just two pieces of fruit candy. I'll go out and buy some later."
Tang's mother curled her lips, ignored him, and urged the two children to eat faster.
She went to pour a glass of water and took the medicine from the bottle.
Tang Xiaoqiang took a look and whispered to the two kids, "Do you know why the old lady needs to take medicine?"
Tang Yun said, "My mother-in-law is sick."
"Do you know what disease I have?"
"have no idea."
Tang's mother: "What are you mumbling about again? Don't disturb them while they're eating. If they're late for school later, they'll have to stand in the corner."
"It's just a kindergarten. I don't think you should go there. What a waste of money."
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. If you don't attend kindergarten or preschool in South City, you won't be able to keep up in elementary school. If your grades are too poor, they won't accept you."
Seeing that the two children had almost finished eating, Tang's mother pulled them to go to school quickly.
Before leaving, he said to Tang Xiaoqiang, "Xiaoqiang, don't be lazy and just sit there. Wash the pots and pans and tidy up the room."
Tang Xiaoqiang was stunned. "What? I'm a grown man doing this? Mom, you know I've never done this since I was a child."
Tang's mother said, "The city is different from the countryside. In the countryside, men don't do housework because they want to save their energy for farming. In the city, there's no land to farm, so men who don't do housework are useless. Women will divorce them."
Tang Xiaoqiang, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"What nonsense am I talking about? There's no land to farm in the city, so everyone works. Women work, earn money, and have children, so what can men do? Men can't give birth to children, and they can't breastfeed them. If they can just lighten up and do more housework, what else can they do?"
"Ah?" Isn't this against the will of heaven?
"I'm leaving now. I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and finish your work, or your sister's room won't be dirty when she comes home from work. Oh, and heat up the food. She'll be home around 10:30. Don't let her work hard to earn money and then not even have a hot meal."
After saying that, Tang's mother closed the door.
Tang Xiaoqiang felt uncomfortable all over.
The old mother has changed. She actually asked him to do housework and did it with a clear conscience.
In his opinion, these small jobs are done by women. How can a grown man do these?
But when he thought about what his mother said, it seemed to make some sense.
Men in the countryside don’t do these things because they want to save their energy for farming.
There is no land to farm in the city, men can't give birth to children and breastfeed them, and they don't have to work, so shouldn't they do something else?
There was some truth in it, but why did he feel so uncomfortable?
Tang Xiaoqiang looked around the house and felt that there was something strange in the air. He had a feeling... a feeling that he was out of tune with this world, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
After sending her child to school, Tang's mother did not rush back. Instead, she walked around nearby, picked up some waste, and then went to where Tang Xiaofen was sweeping the street to wait for her.
By the time Tang Xiaofen got off work, she had already picked up a large bag.
Tang Xiaofen hurried over to her and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you not to do this?"
Tang's mother waved her hand and said, "Why not pick it up? This bag must be worth several cents, right? A few cents can buy the child several notebooks, it's a good deal."
“We’re not short of money now.”
"Don't think you're short of money now, but think about how much we'll have to spend later. We have two kids in school, and I'm getting older. If I have a headache or a fever, I'll have to spend money. Besides, your eldest brother is here, and I've already told him that we can rely on scavenging to cover our expenses. Isn't it better to show him how to do it?"
"Oh!" Tang Xiaofen sighed, "I'll do as you say."
Tang's mother said, "You go back first, I'll go back later."
"What's going on?"
"I told him..." She repeated to Tang Xiaofen what she had said to Tang Xiaoqiang before leaving.
She patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "When you go back later, act like a man who has just come back from work in the countryside. You have to make him understand that the city is different from the countryside. Let him know that he can't act arrogantly here."
Tang Xiaofen thought of the bossy and shouting behavior of the men who came back from farm work in her hometown, and thought to herself that she would never dare to do that.
"What if he hits me?"
"Then call the police. That'll give him a lesson."
ah?
She was really impressed that her mother could say this.
"Xiao Fen, don't be afraid, otherwise he will kill us here."
Tang Xiaofen nodded, sighed softly, and then went home.
She had been bullied by Tang Xiaoqiang since she was a child and was very afraid of him.
