Chapter 377: Patriarchy
I saw that old Patella suddenly whispered to Shakru, "By the way, little Shakru, why don't you use your divination to divinate whether the child is a boy or a girl?" ”
"What are you doing with divination?" Shakru asked, confused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Don't you want to know if the child is a boy or a girl?" Old Patella also asked with a puzzled expression.
At this time, Shakru understood the meaning of old Patella, as mentioned earlier, India is an extremely patriarchal country, even though there are many more marriageable men in India than marriageable women, and even many young men are forced to beat singles, but this concept has not changed, "I wish you a daughter" is still a vicious curse, and even in some villages there are some evil sacrifices just to pray for the birth of a boy.
However, Shaklu, who grew up in China and was accustomed to the concept of equality between men and women, did not care about this, so he replied nonchalantly: "Grandpa, I don't think it's necessary, whether it's a boy or a girl, isn't it my child." Then he teased old Patella: "And grandpa, I think you are much better to Ah Misha than your grandsons, and you don't spoil her because she is a girl." ”
"Of course, my Ami Sha is much cuter than those stinky boys. But you're not in a different situation than I am, and you need a boy to inherit your inheritance. Old Patera continued to persuade.
"Who says girls can't inherit an inheritance? And since I can have the first one with Ah Misha, then I can naturally have the second, we are still young, don't worry, just have a few more, anyway, I can't afford to raise it. Besides, maybe I'm pregnant with a boy right now. Shakru soothed old Patera and said.
Old Patella stared at Shakru for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Little Shakru, although I have known you for ten years, and I think I am also familiar with your personality, I don't know why I always think you are a strange person. If it weren't for the fact that you grew up in New Delhi and were a Brahmin with strong roots, I would have wondered if you were an Indian at all, because your mindset and some ideas are not at all like that of a child who grew up in New Delhi. ”
"This old guy's eyes are really poisonous, but it's no wonder that even though he has been in India for ten years, he still can't adapt to some aspects." Shakru muttered to himself.
However, on the surface, he still said sloppily: "Grandpa, you are too old to keep up with the rhythm of young people, and this phenomenon has a special term, called generation gap." ”
Old Patera snorted coldly, stopped talking, got up and said, "I'll go see my granddaughter." Then he turned around and explained: "You said it yourself just now, whether it is a boy or a girl, then if Ah Misha really gives birth to a daughter, you can't treat her badly because of this." ”
Shakru repeatedly promised: "Grandpa, don't worry, I swear absolutely not." ”
Nie Wei is an ordinary employee of Polaris Pharmaceutical Factory, although the position is very low, but he is very satisfied with this job, because not only is the salary here good, the work is not tiring, and the most important thing is that there is no discrimination here, no one looks down on him as a low caste, so he comes early every day and works very hard.
On this day, he still came to the factory early, but he found that today's factory seems to be a little different, because everyone seems to be in a very good mood, although everyone is usually very happy, but today seems to be extraordinarily happy.
Sure enough, a worker shouted to him when he saw him: "Nie Wei, go to the finance, you will get a bonus today!" ”
"Bonus? It's not a holiday today, how can there be a bonus? "Polaris will have a bonus every New Year's holiday, although the amount is not large, but at least it is a heart, indicating the boss's greetings to the employees on the holiday, but today is not a holiday at all, so Nie Wei feels very strange.
At this time, the worker walked to Nie Wei's side and whispered to him: "It is said that it is because Mrs. is pregnant, so the boss is happy, so he will give us a bonus. ”
Nie Wei nodded again and again: "That's natural, the boss is so good to us, now that he has a happy event, I not only want to congratulate him, but also go to the temple to burn incense to the Bodhisattva after a while, so that he can bless the safety of the boss's mother and son!" ”
The worker patted his head and said, "Yes, you didn't say that I almost forgot, remember to call me when you get off work for a while, and I'll go with you." ”
The same scenario happened in all of Shakru's industries, and even every employee in two branches in China received a red envelope of 200 yuan.
It may be the difference between the customs and culture of the two countries, or it may be some other reason, but the effect of Shakru's red envelopes here is far less than in India.
"Hey, this Indian boss is interesting, his daughter-in-law will pay 200 yuan per person when she is pregnant, do you think he has money to burn?" A bearded man in Polaris overalls said to his companion as he counted the money.
The companion retorted, "What's wrong? Isn't it good to give you money? Be content, that's what it is. If it is changed to a former state-owned enterprise factory, then the factory director's family has a happy event, you are not allowed to give gifts to others, and you can get 200 yuan? ”
The bearded man shrank his neck: "What you said makes sense, don't say it, I have given gifts to the leader over the years, and it is really the first time I have seen the leader's family send money to his subordinates for a happy event." ”
Then he changed the conversation and said: "Eh, you said that each person will be given 200 if you are pregnant, so when you have a child, you will have to pay 500 per person?" ”
The companion pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "You think beautifully, maybe if you really give birth, not only will you not give money, but you will have to find a way to deduct our wages?" ”
"Hey? Why is that? The bearded man asked with a puzzled face.
"Haven't you heard, this Indian patriarchy is more serious than ours, and giving birth to a daughter is equivalent to scolding in them, so you say that if the boss and his daughter-in-law give him a daughter, then how can there be a bonus?" The companion explained.
The bearded man nodded and said, "It seems that I have heard someone say this, hey, then do we have to pray that the boss's family must not have a girl, we must give birth to a big fat boy!" ”
Lu Han, who heard these discussions not far away, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said in his heart Fortunately, the boss couldn't hear it, otherwise he would have to be angry! (To be continued.) )
