Chapter 366

Sheng Chu Xi squatted down in front of Erya.

"Erya, tell sister Xiaoxi that you like reading, don't you?"

Erya was silent for a long time, then nodded and whispered, "well, I like it very much."

"Well, why do you like it?"

Sheng Chuxi's voice fell, and Erya's eyes lit up.

"Because through the book, I know a lot of things I didn't know before. The book says that the outside world is very beautiful. I have never left here. If I have the opportunity, I want to have a look outside..."

Her tender voice was full of expectations for the unknown.

But as he spoke, his expression became depressed again.

"But it's no use for me to like it. My mother said that for us mountain people, it's no use reading. It's better to help our family work early... So I won't go."

Looking at the low head, Sheng Chu Xi was very distressed.

"Not so, Erya -"

She whispered.

"I know a very excellent senior. His name is chengsongran. His hometown is also in remote mountainous areas like here. However, he not only went out of the mountains by studying, but also went to the world's top universities... After graduation this year, he stayed in the National Research Institute and became a very powerful person."

"Erya, reading is useful. You can go out of the mountains and see a broader world through it. You can make yourself a better and more useful person. Just like the story I told yesterday about Yingxue, a firefly, and my senior student, chengsongran."

Erya bit her lip and whispered, "but the man you said is a man, and I am just a girl. My mother said that a girl is born without a man... So my brother has a book, but I don't......"

Sheng Chu Xi was stunned at his words.

"Erya, do you have a brother?"

Erya nodded: "well, my father works outside to make money, and my brother goes to school with him."

Sheng Chu Xi pursed his lips.

With the progress of the times in recent years, the status of women is getting higher and higher. There are many rich families in the imperial capital. Those who inherit the family business are excellent daughters. The Sheng family even more valued women than men, and regarded her only girl as a treasure.

However, in this world, there are still many patriarchal phenomena, especially in such mountainous areas. Girls are born to marry, and then betrothal gifts are used to subsidize their brothers.

In such an environment, reading to girls is naturally a waste of resources.

As a girl, she hated this phenomenon.

Sheng Chu Xi squatted down and looked straight into Erya's clear eyes.

"Erya, have you forgotten what I said yesterday? Every girl is a unique treasure. Girls are no worse than boys. As long as you work hard, girls can be better than boys!"

"My sister never tells lies. There are many such examples in this world. Erya, you can also be such a girl."

Erya's eyes lit up slowly.

The next second, he bit his lip again: "but, sister Xiaoxi, my mother, she..."

Sheng Chu Xi thought for a moment.

"Where is the elder sister now?"

Erya said, "my mother has gone shopping. At this time, she should have gone home."

"Let's go home now," said Sheng Chuxi, smiling and touching Erya's head. "Don't worry, my sister will let you read."
