Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Turns Out Women Have Never Just Held Up Half the Sky

"Why would I lie about this? If you don’t believe me, ask your team leader. I heard the teachers didn’t mention this to us because they were afraid we’d feel too much pressure. If you ask, they’ll definitely tell you."

Li Youmin looked towards Lin Jiadong, who had already ridden his bicycle far away...

Xu Cheng nudged him, "What are you staring at? Let’s go, let’s head back together. It’s terribly cold, probably going to snow."

...............

When Lin Jiadong got home, his second sister and brother-in-law were there, busy in the kitchen making dumplings.

These days, he stayed at his second sister’s house and could see that his brother-in-law was truly good to his sister.

He wouldn’t even let his sister do much household work.

In their village, they hadn’t seen a man in the kitchen; not to mention cooking, even after eating, they wouldn’t wash their own bowls.

It seems like men, apart from working in the fields, left all the household chores like laundry, cooking, feeding chickens, and pigs to the women.

He never thought much of it before. After all, both at home and in other families, it was always like that.

Only after witnessing his second sister and brother-in-law’s lifestyle did Lin Jiadong realize that when it comes to working the fields, women did just as much, sometimes even more than men.

Why should men come home from the fields and lie on the kang, while women still have to cook and feed chickens?

It turns out women have never been holding up half the sky.

It’s just that they choose not to acknowledge the sky women are supporting, only seeing their own sky that they bear alone and feel unbalanced.

Just like those participants in the national competition, female classmates are no worse than male classmates.

Yet some male classmates just look down on female ones.

"You’re back?" Lin Chuxia said as she saw Lin Jiadong returning.

Lin Jiadong gathered his thoughts and nodded with a smile, "Second sister, brother-in-law."

"It’s cold today, right? I just heard on the weather forecast it might snow tomorrow," Lin Chuxia noticed Lin Jiadong’s wind-blown red face, "Didn’t you wear the scarf I gave you?"

"I’m not cold, don’t need a scarf," he said and glanced at Qin Yang beside him.

Qin Yang said straightforwardly, "If your second sister gave it to you, wear it. She’s in charge here, no need to look at me."

"I didn’t mean anything by it," Lin Jiadong scratched his head.

It was windy today, and his second sister, fearing he’d be cold, had quickly found a scarf for him.

The scarf looked like it belonged to his brother-in-law, so he actually didn’t dare to wear it much.

Little did he expect his brother-in-law to say that second sister had the final say.

Oh, of course, seeing how brother-in-law usually treats second sister, she should be the one in charge.

What he didn’t know is that his brother-in-law had recently received a scarf hand-knitted by his wife and wouldn’t care about the ones bought before.

Seeing both busy working, Lin Jiadong hurriedly washed his hands.

Although he doesn’t know how to make dumplings, he would learn.

Just a glance and—ah, pure lamb filling—he grinned at Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia smiled back, "Tomorrow’s the last day of the training camp, right? Tonight let’s have a good meal. By the way, how’s the school’s plan for tomorrow? If it really snows and the way is bad, isn’t the exam the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, the teacher mentioned today that we’re leaving tomorrow morning, whether it snows or not, just so we can prepare mentally in advance and not underperform in the exam."

"Alright, have you remembered everything I told you?" Lin Chuxia asked again.

Qin Yang also glanced over.

Lin Jiadong nodded again, "I’ve remembered everything: keep your water bottle and drink your own water, don’t eat random things, handle your own affairs, be cautious outside, and remember that helping others shouldn’t mean being a pushover..."

Upon hearing the words ’pushover,’ Qin Yang pressed his lips together.
