The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Thinking about her severe morning sickness this time, she looked so thin and haggard in just three or four months, when she should have been gaining weight.

Every day, I have to endure morning sickness to wash clothes and cook for the three of them. Although my husband can help with the house cleaning, he doesn't do it every day. He's also been busy at the factory recently.

The two boys were even less able to help. They couldn't even wash the dishes properly, let alone wash clothes or cook. They could only help carry two buckets of water from the yard.

After the holiday, the weather was hot again. My eldest son was fine and didn't go out to play much, but my youngest son came home sweaty and dirty every day. His clothes would stink if left out for a long time, and the strong smell was even more nauseating.

So, she was not idle after the summer vacation. In addition, the weather was hot and humid, and she felt uncomfortable. Doing these things every day felt like torture.

Before the holiday, she took her younger son to the cafeteria and let her older son eat in the school cafeteria. She only had to make breakfast and wash clothes every day, and she didn't feel very tired.

Not anymore.

She had thought about hiring someone to help her before, but after asking the woman in the neighboring yard, she realized that the woman they hired to help her was responsible for feeding her two meals and costing her twenty or thirty yuan a month.

Sister Qin said that with the help of an older sister, the food at home was consumed very quickly. She couldn't not give her food, as it was agreed in advance.

With both salary and food required, Lin Huaiyu felt a little painful when he roughly calculated the monthly expenses.

The couple had good jobs, their combined salary was over 100 yuan. However, they had two children at home, and she was expecting a baby. Once the baby was born, it would cost money everywhere.

A pound of pork only costs one dollar now. Wouldn’t it be nice to save that money and buy meat?

Thinking back to what her husband had said before, that his elder brother had asked him to go back and bring that girl Lin Mumu back home, Lin Huaiyu had originally been reluctant, but now she felt that it was something she could consider.

I heard that the girl can do all the housework except cooking.

Jianhua's mother and sister-in-law didn't let her cook because they were afraid that she would eat secretly while cooking.

Then when she is brought to the city, she will teach her how to cook a few dishes, and then she won’t have to do those housework anymore.

Even if she couldn't cook, as long as she could get through this holiday and her morning sickness, she could still take her second child to the cafeteria when school started, and then she would only have to cook dinner. When Lin Mumu came, she would just do the laundry and housework, including washing and cutting vegetables.

Every time I cook, I have to spend a lot of time preparing the ingredients. When Lin Mumu comes, I let her do it.

As for eating, no matter how much he eats, he can't eat more than an adult woman, right?

Lin Huaiyu thought so and didn't make a decision immediately.

Anyway, she won't be free to pick him up until August, so she can think about it again.

What if she stops vomiting in two days?

Otherwise, bring the girl back. Apart from anything else, as a primary school teacher, she has to arrange for Lin Mumu to go to school.

That girl has been in the countryside for so many years, the Lin family will definitely not let her go to school. She is probably too unsophisticated and wild now. If they take her to school and find out that she is very stupid, won't she be laughed at?

The second child, that naughty boy, had been in early school a year and then failed a grade. He was also very naughty, so now she couldn't even stand up straight when she saw the teacher in his class.

But the second child is a naughty boy who doesn't like to study. Others will only say that he is too naughty, not stupid. Lin Mumu is different, as he came back from the countryside.

She didn't want her reputation to be affected by Lin Mumu.

Because her parents favor boys over girls, Lin Huaiyu also favors boys over girls, otherwise she would not take her daughter so lightly.

When they left, Lin Jianhua had suggested taking their daughter with them. Lin Huaiyu was reluctant, but her mother said they only wanted to take care of their grandson. So, without hesitation, Lin Huaiyu decided to leave her three-year-old daughter in the countryside.

After drinking a bowl of pork rib soup, Lin Huaiyu began to feel nauseous again. Afraid of vomiting the soup, Lin Huaiyu hurried to the room to turn on the fan to make himself cooler and more comfortable.

When the nausea subsided, Lin Huaiyu was tired and fell asleep again in bed. When she woke up again, Lin Jianhua had already returned from get off work.

The stove at home was cold and Lin Jianhua didn't know how to cook. He could only go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some steamed buns, then add a ladle of water to the pot of pork rib soup, which only had three pieces of ribs and the soup was almost gone. After boiling it, he added some salt and ate it.

"Dad, when will Mom get better? We haven't had a normal dinner since Mom got pregnant. It's so painful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given birth..."

Before Lin Yuanze could finish his words, Lin Jianhua slapped him: "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot boy?"

Lin Yuanyu also glared at his brother in reproach, but he also felt that such a life was not acceptable.

"Dad, why don't we hire someone? Ever since Mom got pregnant, she can't stand any strong smells. She can't cook, and she almost always washes clothes with plain water. Some clothes still have a smell after washing..."

Lin Yuanze, who changed his clothes almost every day, couldn't help but chime in, "Not only does it smell, it's not clean. Last time, I got a spot of moss on my pants, and even after Mom washed it, the stain was still there. It was so ugly."

"Besides, I haven't washed the clothes I changed into yesterday."
