"In the past, men fought in battle, while women carried food and grass and built fortifications in the rear, and were no less capable than men."
"Nowadays, both men and women work in factories, doing the same work and getting the same pay. Why do women have to take care of the housework after work while men sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor?"
"Could it be that you men are missing arms and legs?"
The beautiful young girl walked slowly towards him, sneering in a cold voice.
Although he was shorter than everyone else, the powerful aura around him was so overwhelming that it made people feel breathless.
When they saw the person coming, everyone around them fell silent and lowered their heads in shame.
The faces of the men who were the first to mock him turned pale and blue, with a hint of panic in their faces.
Tian Xiaocao stared straight at the girl in front of her. The dazzling sunlight shone on her, and her whole body seemed to be shining.
A beam of light quietly shone into her dim eyes, dispelling the cowardice and inferiority in them.
Those powerful words still echoed in her mind, as if new buds were sprouting in her heart, and her hunched back straightened a little unconsciously.
"Your name is Tian Xiaocao?"
"Yes, yes, Director Chu."
"You are very courageous. If men can read and write, we women can too."
"They are now belittling and suppressing us simply because they are afraid that women will compete with them for the position of group leader."
Chu Xi encouraged loudly, then stood on tiptoe and patted Tian Xiaocao's thin shoulder, her bright almond eyes full of admiration.
A group of female workers who had arrived late also gathered around him.
They pointed and talked at the group of men opposite them, and the same confidence was reflected on their different faces.
"Tsk tsk...some people, instead of working diligently, resort to dirty tricks."
"Why should women take care of the household? Ugh, I make as much money as you men!"
"Your mind is always focused on crooked ways. You really betrayed the Queen's kindness."
“.......”
The people of the "Land of Tigers and Wolves", regardless of gender, are mostly straightforward and heroic.
There are also women with weak personalities like Tian Xiaocao, which is basically caused by family, physical and other factors.
After entering the factory, the women who have control over the economic power are obviously more confident.
Therefore, after hearing the derogatory remarks, he could not bear it at all and immediately retorted with a barrage of sarcasm.
The men whose ugly thoughts were exposed blushed and hung their heads even lower in shame. They were like quails, and no longer had the arrogance they had just had.
Tian Xiaocao looked around at the sisters who were protecting her behind them, tears welled up in her eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart, flowing through her limbs.
The tiny tender shoots slowly grew into indomitable green bamboos.
She straightened her back, held her head high, and stared fearlessly at the men who were mocking her, her voice firm and powerful.
"Women are no worse than you men. I, Tian Xiaocao, want to sign up for literacy education!"
"Yes! Sisters, come and sign up, don't waste time."
After venting their anger, the women rushed forward to sign up.
The men stood back and waited, knowing they were in the wrong. Some men who had not previously made sarcastic remarks secretly cried out in injustice in their hearts.
Chen Ergou looked at his sweetheart who didn't even glance at him, and felt like crying but had no tears. Then he turned around and glared at the men who were fleeing in panic.
Damn it, just because he can’t speak, he cut off his tongue, which created another obstacle in his pursuit of his wife.
After registering, Lan'er took her sister's arm and walked away chatting and laughing. When she passed by Chen Ergou, she didn't even look at him, as if she was treating a stranger.
This made Chen Ergou very uncomfortable. He asked his coworkers to help him sign up, and hurriedly caught up, following behind his sweetheart.
"Lan'er, why are you ignoring me?"
"Humph, you men are all bad guys."
"Lan'er, it's unfair! I didn't say those dirty words just now..."
"Not saying anything... Humph, doesn't that mean you think the same thing in your heart?"
"No! Lan'er, I swear, I swear! From now on, all the money will be given to you, and I will take care of all the housework..."
Lan'er was made to smile by the sweet words, but she blushed when her sisters teased her. She glared at Chen Ergou in anger and ran away with her sisters.
Chen Ergou was still bewildered by the glances of his beloved, staring at the receding figure with a silly grin.
At night, the factory is brightly lit.
Chen Ping held the paper manuscript he had prepared in advance, stood on the high platform and looked down at the dark crowd, beads of sweat unconsciously oozing out of his palms.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"I have the honor of being your teacher today. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate."
"Teacher Chen, we can't read a single word, so we should ask for your forgiveness."
"Yes, yes, as long as Teacher Chen doesn't look down on us."
“…”
The workers sat neatly on the benches, their simple faces full of kindness and their eyes filled with admiration and worship.
Seeing this, Chen Ping's brows relaxed and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
He picked up a charcoal pencil and wrote a few pinyin characters on the slate behind him, then turned around and taught everyone slowly and unhurriedly.
"Let's start with reading characters. We all know how to speak, but how do we translate different characters?"
"...Before you can read characters, you must be able to read them. So today I will first teach you a set of pinyin methods..."
"If you learn pinyin, you can pronounce unfamiliar characters by spelling out the syllables..."
