The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Chapter 118: Embarrassment

Because he grew taller, the 9 kilograms he gained was not noticeable. In addition, no one in the Lin family cared about it, so no one noticed that Lin Mumu had grown taller, and his complexion was getting better and better.

A month later, when Lin Jianhua saw Lin Mumu again, he felt that something was different, but before he could ask, Lin Jianhua was annoyed by Lin Mumu's cold attitude and ignored the difference.

Lin Yuanze had been eating simple meals for a month, so he was used to it when he ate it again and didn't have any objection to the simplicity of the meals.

However, Lin Jianhua was not used to eating it.

At my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, the food on the table was a perfect combination of meat and vegetables.

However, when Lin Jianhua heard his son say that they had always eaten dinner like this, he didn't know what to say.

I had to say that he would go shopping for groceries tomorrow.

"I have something to do tomorrow and won't be back to cook. You guys figure it out on yourselves."

After Lin Mumu finished speaking, she was about to pack up and leave, but was stopped by Lin Yuanyu.

"What's your business?"

Lin Mumu rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Lin Yuanyu: ...

Lin Yuanze did hear some news, he heard it at their school today.

"Mumu, are you going to the provincial competition tomorrow?"

"What competition?" Lin Jianhua and Lin Yuanyu had never heard of it.

"Lin Mumu represented our school's lower grades in the math competition. The day before my mother gave birth, she went to the city to compete and won first prize. She also received a 10 yuan prize."

"The other day, while I was eating in the cafeteria, I heard the teachers discussing..."

That day, Lin Yuanze originally wanted to go home to ask Lin Mumu and ask Lin Mumu to treat him to something delicious to celebrate, but then he heard the teacher say that his mother had given birth. After school, he hurriedly found his brother to go see his mother and younger brother, and then he forgot about it.

Today he heard that the winners of the previous competition would take the school bus to the provincial competition tomorrow. Now he heard Lin Mumu say that she had something to do tomorrow, so Lin Yuanze guessed it.

Lin Mumu nodded.

"You're only in first grade and barely know a few words. What kind of competition are you taking part in?"

Lin Mumu: ...

Lin Yuanyu was also helpless: "Dad, Mumu knew a lot of words when he came home."

At that time, her mother asked him to teach her to read the text. Lin Mumu knew most of the words. After he read the text once, she almost knew it all.

At that time, her parents asked her if she had gone to school in the village before.

Mumu said that she often helped her third cousin clean the house, listened to him read, and then learned the characters by herself from the articles he read. So she knew quite a few characters.

My parents believed it at that time.

Why do you seem to be unaware that Mumu knows a lot of words now?

"Have you ever gone to school in the village?" Lin Jianhua asked again.

Lin Mumu: ...

Lin Yuanyu: ...

Even Lin Yuanze was speechless.

He remembered that his parents had asked this question, and Lin Mumu said that she had never been to school.

Dad's memory...

Getting old prematurely? Losing your memory?

"Dad, you asked before, and Mumu said she had never been to school. How come you forgot again?"

Lin Jianhua said embarrassedly that he had been too busy recently and his mind was a little confused.

The topic is over.

The next day, when Lin Jianhua went to see Lin Huaiyu, he told her that Lin Mumu was going to participate in the competition. Lin Huaiyu was also surprised.

"She's never been to school, why would she participate in a math competition? Knowing a few words and knowing arithmetic are two different things. Don't embarrass yourself..."

Lin Jianhua thought about what he had just said. It seemed that what he said was: Mumu won the first prize in the city competition and was sent to participate in the provincial competition.

"She won a prize in a city competition."

Lin Jianhua said it again, and Lin Huaiyu patted her head awkwardly, saying that she had gotten up to feed the baby last night and did not sleep well.

Then he said to Lin Jianhua, "Wait until she comes back and see how her competition results are. If she does well, she can skip the first grade next semester and go straight to the second or third grade. This will save her a lot of tuition."

Then he told Lin Jianhua to go back and ask Lin Yuanze to find all the books for grades one, two, three and four and give them to Lin Mumu, asking her to read them one by one to see which grade she could skip to.

"At her age, she can read in second or third grade. If she does well on the test, she can read in fourth grade too."

Lin Huaiyu was also a little excited when she thought about the tuition fees she could save and the time Lin Mumu would have to spend in her school.

"Let her study hard first, and then I'll help her apply for skipping a grade."

If she turned out to be outstanding, she wouldn't mind letting everyone know that Lin Mumu was her daughter.

After all, Aze often made her lose face at school.

Lin Jianhua responded and went home to ask Lin Yuanze to find a book. When he was about to go talk to Lin Mumu, he found that there was no one in her room.

"When will she come back?"

Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze both shook their heads to indicate they didn't know.

Lin Yuanze knew a little more, but he only knew to go today and come back today.

I heard the news yesterday: we will gather at 6 o'clock today, and parents are asked to send their children to school for the gathering.

Lin Yuanze suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have mentioned this news last night, and Lin Mumu didn't mention it either.

Lin Jianhua glared at Lin Yuanze: "You forgot this and that, what else can you do?"

"You didn't even bother to ask her when she would leave or when she would come back, so how can you blame me for forgetting to tell her the gossip?" Lin Yuanze was not convinced. Wouldn't it be more accurate to ask Lin Mumu? Dad didn't ask himself!
