Before today, Ah Hua and her friends had never left the island, not even on a boat.
So, they got seasick.
Even though Jian Yuelan had given them seasickness medicine in advance, the girls still felt dizzy.
They not only get seasick, but also carsick.
As soon as Ancheng's car door opened, several people rushed out and ran to the side to retch.
There was really nothing left to vomit, so I vomited out everything I could on the ferry.
Jian Yuelan reluctantly handed over the kettle and said, "Drink some water."
"Thank you, sister."
Ahua took the kettle and drank a sip of water by tilting her head back without touching the mouth of the kettle. After drinking, she handed the kettle to A Miao and the others. After one round of turns, the kettle was empty.
Jian Yuelan put the lid on the kettle and asked them, "Can you still hold on?"
"Yes."
As soon as these words came out, A Miao and the others immediately perked up, looking as if they were afraid of being left behind and anxiously saying, "Sister, we can do this."
Jian Yuelan looked at the fear in their eyes, took a deep breath, smiled and said gently, "Don't be afraid. Since I brought you out, I will naturally take good care of you. Be bold and generous."
Her tone was sincere and her smile was gentle. When A Miao and the others saw her like this, they couldn't help but smile.
"We listen to Sister."
"good."
Patting the girls' heads, she smiled and said, "Since you can hold on, let's take the bus home."
"No, not in the car."
A Miao and the others immediately waved their hands as if they had seen a ghost, showing strong resistance to riding in the car.
"Let's walk back."
Jian Yuelan, "???"
"It's several miles. Are you sure you want to walk?"
Ah Hua and the others nodded repeatedly, looked at her eagerly, and said in unison, "We'll walk, not take the car."
I don't want to take a car anymore, it's too uncomfortable.
What can Jian Yuelan do?
I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman to walk with them.
"Then let's go."
"Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome."
After walking for a distance, the little girls with their feet on the ground became lively and energetic, and found everything they saw interesting.
"Sister, can people in the city afford a bicycle?"
“No.”
Bicycles are large items and not every household can afford one.
The high price is one thing, and on the other hand, due to the production volume, you need a ticket to buy a bicycle.
"If you work hard, you'll be able to afford a bicycle by then."
"No, sister, you have to take back the money you earned."
Ah Miao has a beautiful voice, and her voice is as sweet as a lark when she speaks. She said with a smile, "I have to support the family, otherwise my father won't agree to let me work outside."
Ah Hua and the others nodded repeatedly, obviously in the same situation as Ah Miao.
Jian Yuelan didn't intend to teach them to rebel against their families, mainly because the situation in A Miao's village was different.
As a minority, the degree of sinicization in their tribe has only increased in recent years. Before that, they had always followed the tribe rules.
The situation of favoring boys over girls is extremely serious.
A Miao and her friends, who grew up in such an environment, have deeply ingrained ideas that cannot be changed by a few words from her.
If she really said it, it would be fine if the girls appreciated it, but if they didn't, she would be the one who would feel embarrassed.
We can only wait until they start working and see if we can subtly change their thinking in life, let them learn to think for themselves, and no longer follow the mindset of putting father and husband first.
So, she didn't discuss this topic, but smiled and changed the subject, "Have you ever thought about your future?"
"future?"
A Miao murmured, and Jian Yuelan hummed, "Yes, the future."
The little girls fell silent.
What will their future be like?
Honestly, I can’t think of one.
Thinking of this, Ah Hong said crisply, "She should be like Ah Ma, getting married, having children, and taking care of the household."
"We're out working."
Ah Miao reminded her, and Ah Hong thought the same thing, "Then I'll make some money first, then get married and have kids."
"Yes, let's make money first. Once we make money, Dad and the others will be more relaxed, and we can get married and have children without any worries."
The little girls imagined their future, but no matter how they imagined it, they could not do without getting married and having children.
It seems like their mission in this world is to get married and have children.
In their imagined future, apart from getting married and having children, all they have is parents, brothers, men and children, without any thought for themselves.
Jian Yuelan's forehead veins popped when she heard this, and she asked tentatively, "Don't you think about yourselves?"
"I've considered it."
A Miao was confident and righteous, but Jian Yuelan was confused. "Where did you consider it?"
"Dad and his family have it easy. When we get married, our parents will support us. My brothers and sisters will also be nice to us, and my sister-in-law won't scold us for eating for free."
"There's a smile on my mother's face..."
A Miao kept chattering on and on, and Jian Yuelan felt like she was suffocating and felt that this topic could not be continued.
If she continued, she was worried that her blood pressure would soar and she would be so angry that she would die.
It's too suffocating and too despairing.
A Miao and the others had simply lowered themselves to the dust, which made her feel sad and at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness surged up in her.
She really had no desire to chat, so she urged them to go home quickly for dinner, like Zhou Pa Pi.
But A Miao and the others didn't realize this, instead they thought Jian Yuelan was really nice.
Not only do they give them jobs, but they also worry about them going hungry.
She was so sweet all the way, praising people over and over again using the few Chinese words she knew, which made her laugh and cry.
