Arguing, what you do is messing with the tradition and fundamentals

As the central figures of the discussion, Xiangbei and Tao Nanfeng were not aware of it at all.

The day after the front page photo of "Jiangcheng Daily" was published, I went north to the post office to handle the telephone installation business. The company is developing rapidly now, and it is inconvenient to contact the outside world without a telephone.

Xiangbei just entered the hall, filled in the name and address of "Nanfeng Design and Engineering Consulting Company", handed the order on, and the service staff sitting at the counter saw the name of the company on the order and immediately raised their heads and stared at him.

The other party was a thin man in his forties, with a look of hostility, and his eyes were filled with contempt and anger.

Xiangbei frowned, straightened his waist and looked cold.

The man snorted and slapped the application form on the desktop.

"You are the soft-fried man with children in the newspaper? You're so shameless!"

This sentence suddenly rang out in the quiet hall, as if the calm water surface was washed away by a huge rock and became turbulent.

There was a man in a green uniform behind the counter. He stared at Xiangbei curiously, and what he said made Xiangbei feel inexplicable.

"You said you should take care of your children. What should you do to promote it so high-profilely? You can also take a photo to the newspaper! Now when I get home from get off work, my wife stuffs the baby to me and says men should take care of their children."

"Can men feed them? Can they be as careful as mothers? What does men look like when doing women's things!"

"Don't the roles my father plays in the family make money to support the family? He has to go to work and take care of his children, so he won't be exhausted."

The crowd in the hall was also a little turbulent, pointing to Xiangbei.

Xiangbei knew something was wrong, but he didn't show his face. He slapped heavily on the table, and the evil spirit gushed out of his body.

"Can the telephone service be done?"

Xiangbei was already tall, and the scars on his face made him feel fierce. With such pats and yelling, the staff behind the counter did not dare to talk anymore. They quickly stamped a few chapters and asked him to go back and wait for the news.

I drove home north and parked the jeep downstairs of the company, with a serious expression.

Tao Nanfeng and Tao Shouxin were sitting in the reception room drinking tea. There was a portion of "Jiangcheng Daily" on the tea table. The tea was already cold, but no one drank it.

Hearing the sound of the car, Tao Nanfeng stood up and greeted him. He raised his eyes and looked at his wrong face, and asked nervously: "Do you understand?"

Facing his wife, Xiangbei's expression softened.

He said in a deep voice: "I heard some rumors outside, but I don't know what's going on."

Tao Nanfeng stretched out his hand and connected his fingers, sighed softly: "Lu Xue sent out the photos taken at the company's door without our permission. Now the newspaper intends to guide public opinion, and we seem to have become public figures."

A warm and soft little hand reached into the big palm, which felt smooth and cold.

Xiangbei grabbed her hand, and the knuckles touched each other. A slight pressure came, and all the depression disappeared, and the heart turned into water, wandering in her chest, soft and rippling.

He comforted North and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take a look first."

The two walked into the reception room, sat north in the owner's seat, boiled water and brewed tea again, and did not hurry or slow down.

Tao Nanfeng and Tao Shouxin, who were sitting at the bottom, were infected by his ease and were no longer so nervous. They held the hot tea brewed to the north and lowered their heads and sipped them lightly.

Xiangbei took the newspaper and started reading it.

The reception room was very quiet, with only the "rustling" sound from the pages turning.

"Haha." The low laughter was full of magnetic properties. After reading north, I put down the newspaper. "The photos are taken well. I will go to the newspaper to ask for the negatives tomorrow, wash them out and enlarge them, and hang them in the reception room."

Tao Nanfeng had a puzzled look in his eyes: "Don't you feel offended?"

Xiangbei shook his head: "The man behind successful women is quite appropriate. This photo did not show his face, so it would be meaningless to pursue the newspaper's responsibility.

Besides... a photo has caused heated discussion in society, indicating that women are awakening in this era. Don’t be afraid of the south wind. We are not the focus, it is just a fuse that triggers people’s thinking.

Ignore it, it will naturally fade after a while. Everyone is busy making money, so there is no time to talk about these things."

A real man is not surprised by his actions.

Tao Shouxin looked at Xiangbei with a hint of admiration.

Anyone who became a public figure for the first time and was cursed and criticized by so many people would be nervous? Wasn’t the star Ruan Lingyu committed suicide because of “human words are fearful”? He was not only calm in the north, but also quickly grasped the key points to comfort Nanfeng.

Tao Nanfeng's drooping mouth gradually rose, and his dim eyes also became brighter.

"It's good that you don't mind! I was quite scared when I saw this newspaper, just afraid that you would feel uncomfortable and not say anything."

To be honest, when Tao Nanfeng first saw this photo and the discussion in the newspaper, he felt very frightened. Men also want face. They are said to be a soft meal and have no future. Xiangbei will definitely be unhappy.

Some sacrifices can be carried out silently, but they are unwilling to be pointed at by others.

Xiangbei went to her teacup and added water: "I am happy that I can care about my feelings, how could I feel? When I got married to you, I promised to support your dreams with all my strength. It is my honor, not a shame to be the man behind successful women."

Tao Nanfeng felt a heat flowing up in his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red. The promises before marriage were implemented very thoroughly in Xiangbei. He truly recognized his abilities and ideals and took pride in himself everywhere.

If there is a man like this, what’s the regret?

Tao Shouxin sighed: "Look north, go north, if men are as broad-minded as you, then there will be a happy family in the world."

I let go of my heart and simply stay out of the matter, treat myself as an ordinary melon-eating crowd, and comment on those readers' letters.

"What does it mean for women to stay at home and be a housewife? It's really shit."

"Looking at this sentence, I'm so terrified of laughter..."

"I didn't expect to see the problem from this perspective, which is interesting."

As the discussion was lively, a sharp woman's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Tao Nanfeng, if you want to be a career woman, then go and be a woman. Why do you have to take all the women and not be at ease with you?"

The man exchanged a look.

He signaled north that Tao Nanfeng was calm and stood up and walked out of the reception room.

Zhou Hongying was wearing a white Yeliang shirt, her short hair looked a little messy, and she stood at the door of the company with her waist on her face, looking angry.

Xiangbei said in a deep voice: "Want to cause trouble? The police station is only two stops away from here, very close."

Zhou Hongying didn't expect Tao Nanfeng to ignore her scolding, and the person who came out was Xiangbei.

Xiangbei's appearance is not easy to match. Kong Wu was born in the army and was powerful, so ordinary people dare not mess with him.

Zhou Hongying's voice suddenly became lowered: "Yangbei, you should also take care of your Nanfeng. Just because Nanfeng praised the liberation of women, now my Minxing's girlfriend Lu Xue also follows the example, saying that she should take Tao Nanfeng as an example and be a successful career woman, and she will not consider getting married for the time being. I just said a few words, and Lu Xue said she would break up. Minxing is so old that she finally got married. How could she break up after finally having a chat? "

Xiangbei glanced at her: "That's your business, what does it have to do with Nanfeng?"

Zhou Hongying slapped her thigh: "Why is it not her business? She opened a company, went to newspapers, and advocated that men take care of children and support women in their careers. With a role model like Tao Nanfeng, who doesn't want to learn?"

Xiangbei laughed: "The leader said, men and women go hand in hand, just like the east of the sun, women can hold half the sky. Why don't you dare to say a word?"

Zhou Hongying's face turned pale. After that movement, who dares to doubt the leader's words? Are you afraid of life?

Xiangbei's laughter suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it became extremely sharp, like a long sword that was unsheathed, revealing a cold light.

"It's just that Nan Feng has a weak personality and is easy to bully?"

Zhou Hongying looked up at Xiangbei and was so scared that he took a step back. He usually dealt with Tao Nanfeng and Tao Shouxin. The father and daughter were kind-hearted and rarely argued with others. Over time, they gave Zhou Hongying an illusion that they were easy to bully.

Today Ouyang Minxing told her depressedly that Lu Xue proposed to break up, and Zhou Hongying felt that the sky was about to collapse. Her family was a family of senior intellectuals, and her son worked in a government agency and was a strong job. How could he not be worthy of Lu Xue? She was unwilling to date her son?

After asking carefully, Lu Xue and Ouyang Minxing had already talked about marriage, and the change happened after she interviewed Tao Nanfeng. After Lu Xue took the photo titled "The Man Behind Successful Women", he received a lot of attention and made a series of sharp comments, and became a celebrity in Jiangcheng Daily for a while.

After tasting the sense of accomplishment brought by his career, Lu Xue became less keen on getting married. In addition, Zhou Hongying and Ouyang Minxing were anxious to urge her to get married early and had a son to pass on the family line. Lu Xue was at home and took care of her husband and children. Lu Xue was completely disheartened and proposed to break up with Ouyang Minxing.

Zhou Hongying refused to find the reason from him and pushed all the responsibility on Tao Nanfeng. He originally wanted to rush to the door to argue, but he didn't expect Tao Nanfeng to be busy with the preliminary design of Jiangcheng Gymnasium these two days, and he didn't go back to Xiaohonglou. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so Zhou Hongying ran to the company to arrest someone to vent.

Zhou Hongying was choked to death by Xiangbei's confrontation. She didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and tears flowed down her face.

"You don't understand, don't understand our parents' hearts... If women are all busy with their careers, who will give birth to children, who will do housework? Do men be bachelors? You get married and have children, and deliberately bring bad young people. Doing this will disrupt traditions and fundamentals~~"

Zhou Hongying was making a fuss, Xiangbei could speak fiercely. But when she complained and cried, Xiangbei felt a little tricky.

Just as his mind was working quickly, how should he deal with the disgusting neighbor in front of him, the chubby sister Ye Yuan helped Ye Yintong to come over from the bus station. When he heard Zhou Hongying's words, he was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you believe it or not, I slap you to death!" Ye Yuan cursed and handed over his father to Xiangbei, while she confronted Zhou Hongying head-on.

"With an unreasonable mother like you, no wonder your son can't find a partner! If you think a woman is busy with her career, then go find an uneducated rural girl. Why not look for her? To put it bluntly, I dislike the rural girl who does not have a city household registration and cannot earn money from work.

You want to take possession of any good thing, but how can you have such a big face! You also want women to earn money to support their families, and you also want women to have children and do housework. You are also a woman, why are you so vicious and want to squeeze out all the blood and sweat of women before you can stop?"

There is a row of shops next to the west gate of the university. They usually do small business for students, including fruits, side dishes, stationery stores, and booths for shoe repairs. When they heard someone quarrel here, they all walked out of the store to watch the fun.

Everyone whispered and filled in their missing pieces, and looked at Zhou Hongying and became contemptuous.

"Her son's girlfriend is unwilling to get married, so she came to quarrel with people from Nanfeng Company, saying that it was because Tao Nanfeng started a company and was busy with his career, which gave the woman a bad start."

"No? Can you blame Boss Tao? Boss Tao is really unfair! It's not that anyone wants to open a company, just by entering newspapers. Besides, she can't control others to learn from her."

"How difficult is it for a woman to come out and do something now. She is also a woman herself. She seems to be a businessman. Why are she making things difficult for women all day long?"

Zhou Hongying finally tasted the pain of being pointed at by others, and felt that these people's eyes were like hot hot oil, sizzling on their bodies.

Ouyang Cheng hurried from the school, dragged her over, and roared in a low voice: "It's embarrassing! Come home with me."

Ye Yuan put his waist on his back like a defeated fighter, smiling happily: "You are glorious, you are traditional, quit your job quickly and go home to take your children!"

The group of people laughed.

Zhou Hongying left in shame, Ye Yuan and Ye Yintong sat in the reception room, and then called Fan Yajun and Ye Chu down.

Ye Yintong bent down and rubbed her knees, and said with a smile: "I saw the photos and comments in the newspaper. I was uneasy at home and worried that you and your wife would have a rift, so I asked your sister to accompany me."

Fan Yajun was so busy that she asked in a daze, "What newspaper?"

Ye Chu smiled, took the newspaper over, pointed to the black and white photo on the front page and said, "It's this, the newspaper praises me as the man behind successful women."

Fan Yajun said "Oh", "The photos are very good. But I'm not successful yet."

Ye Chu smiled and said to his father, "Dad, you're worried in vain. Yajun doesn't know at all, and he doesn't think so much. Just be happy about our family affairs. If outsiders say a few words, he will just say it."

Ye Yuan glared at him: "You! You have never liked to argue since you were a child. Do you know what people in the towel manufacturer's family area say you don't? You really want to make people angry! If it weren't for your sister, I'm so good at talking, I wouldn't know what it was like."

Ye Chu scratched his head: "Sister, thank you for your hard work."

Fan Yajun turned his head and looked at Tao Nanfeng: "Are you okay? No one said you, right?"

Ye Yuan picked up the jasmine tea soaked north and drank it all, and said proudly: "Someone came to find Tao Nanfeng's wickedness, and I scolded him back. Tell me! I think Ye Yuan's speech is clear, organized, and well-founded. He is invincible in the towel factory. A little professor's wife is nothing."

Tao Nanfeng smiled and felt deeply moved.

She stood up and bowed deeply to everyone: "Thank you, thank you for your support and love."
