Chapter 23:
I had to go find Chen Xinghe.
Eating the meal made by Chen's mom, I asked Chen Xinghe how to solve a problem.
Chen Xinghe patiently explained it to me.
I was obedient and quiet, and after finishing the meal, I voluntarily washed the dishes.
Chen's mom looked at me with a very compassionate look, "I told you we should have another daughter, so cute." "It would be better to have a younger brother," I said softly, "My mom says sons are precious." Chen's mom patted my head, "Who said that? Sons and daughters are both precious." I blinked and looked at Chen's mom's gentle and beautiful face, "So do girls have to study hard?" "Of course they do," Chen's dad said as he helped with household chores in the kitchen, "How else can they see a broader world?"
"I frowned in confusion and asked, 'But Dad said that a girl's world is at home, taking care of the household and being a good assistant to her future husband.' Chen Dad disagreed, saying, 'While it is important to manage the household, there is a much broader world to explore.
Xiaomimi, girls also need to study, as education is the key to stepping outside and seeing the world.' I didn't fully understand.
Chen Xinghe walked in from the door and said, 'Xiaomimi, come out and practice some problems.' He held up my failing test paper and asked, 'Is this the reason you haven't been studying properly?' I blushed and replied, 'No.' Chen Uncle patted me on the back and said, 'Go study, we'll take care of the cleaning.'
