Chapter 1103: Chapter 1102 Nagging 2 Chapter 1103: Chapter 1102 Nagging 2 Mrs. Wu felt very sorry for her, “You have two children to take care of, and are expecting two more, you need to entertain guests and manage household duties. I really wish you didn’t have that job at such a ti; it’s truly too exhausting.”
Feng Qingxue laughed, “Sotis when I’m tired, I think the sa, but then I consider how fulfilling my work is and see the smiles on my children’s faces, and suddenly I don’t feel so tired anymore. The most important thing is that I have family mbers at ho to help take care of the kids and do the housework. In the army, I can take my children to eat with , and I have comrades-in-arms who help look after them. As long as the children’s father has ti, he does the housework.”
If Lu Jiang was unwilling to share the household chores with her, she would definitely be angry and would have to choose between family and work, but wasn’t Lu Jiang always diligent in contributing to the family? He was not soone who would just throw his hands up and refuse to do any household duties after completing his work.
Therefore, Feng Qingxue felt very satisfied with the current situation and considered herself very fortunate.
“Thinking this way, it seems that Lu Jiang is doing quite well,” Mrs. Wu’s tone softened sowhat. “However, I still have to remind you, our female comrades shouldn’t live too hard. A family belongs to two people; you shouldn’t have to shoulder it all by yourself.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You’re teaching the child all sorts of crooked doctrines,” Wu Zheng interjected.
Mrs. Wu shot him a sidelong glance, “What crooked doctrines? I think you still have so old thoughts lingering in your head. Look at the female comrades in the courtyard; those without jobs who only do housework and take care of children and the elderly are criticized for not earning money, and those who have jobs but can’t take care of children and the elderly are criticized for not being virtuous. How co I’ve never seen you male comrades being both earners and virtuous?”
Wu Zheng hastily surrendered, “Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you. You are right about everything, absolutely right.”
Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t just decades later that these issues arose, right? Were they already beginning to show signs now? There always seed to be so people who wished their wives could both earn money and take care of the family, quite an idyllic wish indeed.
On further thought, it wasn’t that surprising.
Because, in this era, when won had opportunities for work, they were treated like n, and n were treated like beasts of burden, especially evident during the busy farming seasons, almost on par with actual beasts.
Feng Qingxue felt sympathy for her family mbers and sent so items to her past-life family. Then, she went to the grocery store and bought so pig offal.
In addition, she took out so fresh at, cured at, and sausages from her space and brought them ho.
Eating at night was indigestible, and it wasn’t possible to deliver the food to them in the fields at noon, so she decided to prepare everything the night before, hide it in her space, and wake up before dawn the next day to stew a large pot with soaked dried vegetables and make twenty or thirty at-filled buns. She left so for her family, asked Guan Cheng to deliver so to the elders who had been sent down to the countryside, and after eating, they could go back to the fields, having heartily replenished their energy.
A few days later, it was ti to depart.
By then, Wanglou Brigade’s harvest was nearing its end. As the last truckload of grain was brought into the storage, a heavy rain poured down.
It was well beyond everyone’s expectations that the harvest could be finished in such a short ti. It went smoothly without a drop of rain; the intense sunlight helped, and the wheat kernels, once threshed and cleaned, were stored directly, saving both labor and ti.
What made everyone most joyful was that the rain ca right after the harvest, which was convenient for the next step of farming!
“Xibao is truly a lucky star!” Wang Zhengguo cradled Xibao, showering him with kisses, while his stubble made Xibao dodge hither and thither.
“Great Uncle Grandpa, it hurts!” Xibao, unable to escape after much dodging, covered Wang Zhengguo’s mouth with his hands, “I’m Xibao, not Fubao, my sister is Fubao.”
