While Cheng Su and Ning Ge were discussing the topic of men being in charge of the outside and women being in charge of the inside, Qi Taiguo was also discussing this issue with two comrades, trying to prove he was right.
"Men take charge of external affairs, and women manage the household—that’s been an unchanging truth for millennia, right? But now, women are all running outside!" Qi Taiguo said.
"This millennium-old tradition is gone now, especially since the economic reforms and opening up, sometimes women can do even better than men!" Long Shaoguang said.
Gao Linbing passed each of them a cigarette, saying, "It’s not quite like that, this slogan is always being shouted, that women can hold up half the sky, and it’s not just limited to the home anymore!"
"That’s also true."
Qi Taiguo then said, "That’s correct in theory, but if you weigh the two, isn’t the family the most important thing for women?"
Both Gao Linbing and Long Shaoguang nodded, "You’re right."
"...Like my wife, I don’t expect her to earn much money from working. As long as she takes good care of my son, that’s enough!" Long Shaoguang said with a face full of pride.
"No one would believe it if you said she hadn’t done well. Your son, with his big head and brawny look, clearly gets plenty of breast milk." Gao Linbing smiled suggestively, "I’m afraid your son can’t finish it all, lucky you!"
Long Shaoguang just laughed hee-hee and said nothing.
Qi Taiguo looked on from the side, feeling somewhat envious.
If they had a child as well, would Cheng Su’s heart be a bit more settled, not so wild?
Gao Linbing noticed the expression on Qi Taiguo’s face was a bit off, asking, "What’s wrong? Arguing with the wife again?"
"Not at all." Qi Taiguo was quick to say, "Just venting a bit!"
