The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Seeing Lin Jianhua walking slower and slower with two bags of things in his hands, Lin Mumu had stopped several times to wait for him.

Seeing that she could walk so fast with a large backpack on her back, Lin Jianhua shared half of his things with her basket and said, "Dad can't carry it anymore. Put it in your basket for a while. Take it out after Dad has rested. Otherwise, we will miss the bus."

Lin Mumu wanted to roll her eyes. What a shameless man. How dare he say such things?

But this person was indeed too slow. Lin Mumu weighed the backpack; it was still within her tolerance. She let it go. Resistance was pointless anyway. But she couldn't act too relaxed either.

Lin Mumu bent forward slightly, then said to Lin Jianhua, "Dad, you must take it away after you have rested. It's too heavy."

Lin Jianhua, feeling much more relaxed, nodded halfheartedly, thinking to himself, if you can carry it, then carry it.

When they reached the station, Lin Jianhua not only didn't take out the things in the backpack, but also put another bag of things in it. Worried that the things would fall out, he thoughtfully helped to tidy up the backpack and put the heavy things at the bottom.

So when the two of them arrived at the station, Lin Mumu was carrying a small bag on her front and a large backpack full of things on her back. Compared to her small body, it looked like she was carrying a small mountain on her back.

Lin Jianhua was holding a bag in his hand and carrying another bag on his back, looking relaxed and comfortable.

If the child hadn't called him dad, people around would have thought that the father and daughter were strangers.

But because he called Lin Mumu "Dad" and Lin Jianhua was dressed very neatly, it gave people a very bad impression.

Seeing that Lin Jianhua didn't even think to help his daughter carry the backpack when she got on the bus, leaving the little girl to carry her things on the bus by herself, the conductor, who couldn't bear to lend a hand, muttered in annoyance: "What a dog."

If he wasn't a dog, why would he carry such a small amount of things himself and let his daughter carry such heavy things?

The hand he just gave him almost caused him to sprain his waist. It was too heavy.

But when he heard the little girl say sweetly, "Thank you, brother," he felt it was worth it.

When they got off the bus at their destination, Lin Mumu asked Lin Jianhua to carry some of the things in her hands, saying she couldn't carry them anymore. Lin Jianhua agreed, but once they got off the bus, she found an excuse to put the two bags she had picked up back into her backpack.

Lin Mumu cursed in his heart again and again, but still walked towards the train station with his things on his back.

Although Lin Mumu was not struggling to carry the heavy things because he was much stronger now, he still felt tired after carrying such a heavy thing for a long time. So he kept asking along the way: "Dad, can you lift this thing a little bit? It's really too heavy."

Lin Mumu always asked when there were people around, and everyone who heard would glance sideways at the father and daughter. Lin Jianhua was embarrassed by being stared at so much that he walked faster and faster.

Lin Mumu didn't speed up her pace. When he walked 10 meters away, she raised her voice and shouted, "Dad, it's too heavy. I can't run. Can you help me carry some..."

Lin Jianhua, who was being watched and condemned by others, had no choice but to reluctantly return and pick up another bag. After arriving at the train station, he found an excuse to put his things back and, after leaving his large bag to Lin Mumu, ran to a nearby stall to buy a bowl of wontons.

After eating, Lin Jianhua returned to the waiting room to wait for the train with Lin Mumu. While waiting, he talked to Lin Mumu about the people and things at home.

But it only said that Lin Huaiyu was an elementary school teacher, teaching Chinese and the homeroom teacher of a class. Lin Yuanyu would be in the eighth grade in September, and the second child, Lin Yuanze, would be in the fifth grade in September. It also said that Lin Huaiyu was expecting a baby brother in a few months and that she was needed to take care of the family.

Lin Mumu didn't find it strange that she hadn't heard about Lin Huaiyu's family. Not to mention that Lin Huaiyu was patriarchal and didn't care about her, Lin Jianhua was not much better than her.

They didn't consider her as a family member at all, otherwise they wouldn't have not come back to see her original body for five years.

Lin Mumu didn't care about Lin Jianhua's attitude, she just wanted to know if she could read. She had to find a source for her literacy.

"So will I also go to my mother's primary school in September?"

Lin Mumu's words made Lin Jianhua's face freeze for a moment. They had never considered sending her to school.

"You just arrived in the city and are unfamiliar with everything. Do you want to wait until next year to go to school?" Lin Jianhua was thinking that he could use this excuse to delay things for now. After the baby in Lin Huaiyu's belly was born at the end of the year, he would have a reason to continue preventing her from going to school.

"Why do I have to wait to get familiar with the place? Didn't you pick me up to go to school? What do I need to get familiar with? Do I need to buy groceries? If not, I can just go to school with my brother and mom. There's no need to wait for me to get familiar with the place, right?"

Lin Mumu peppered Lin Jianhua with questions, and he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't just say it directly. He'd brought her back to take care of her mother and family, and he was afraid she'd get angry and run away. Although letters of introduction were still required for accommodations and other things when traveling far away, the rules weren't as strict anymore.

He had heard that even though his sister-in-law and her family hadn't cooked for Lin Mumu, she had managed to survive by relying on the mountains. If she ran away in anger, he probably wouldn't have anywhere to look for her.

But he was reluctant to agree to let her study. Even if his wife was a teacher at the school and could waive some of the fees, 10 yuan a semester was still a lot of money.
