The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Lu Xinyu worked at the neighborhood committee. They knew exactly how many children each household had and how many were registered. Lu Xinyu asked this question out of concern that if something happened to Lin Jianhua's daughter, they might have to raise another child. After all, getting a city hukou was difficult.

"Dad didn't bring the wrong child, auntie. My name is Lin Mumu, and I'm 8 years old." Lin Mumu looked up at Lu Xinyu, and didn't avoid Lu Xinyu's eyes. They just looked at each other like that, without feeling guilty at all.

"Then why are you so short?" Lu Xinyu asked this because Lin Jianhua and Lin Huaiyu were not short, one was about 1.75 meters tall, and the other was about 1.65 meters tall. Their two sons were one over 1.7 meters tall, and the other over 1.6 meters tall. Neither of them was short.

"In the countryside, people don't have enough to eat and have to work a lot, or maybe they are weighed down by the backpack." This is how the Bangchui system helped her analyze why she hadn't grown taller in the past two or three months.

When Lin Jianhua heard what Lin Mumu said, he turned around and glared at her, warning her not to talk nonsense.

Lu Xinyu tried to lift the backpack, which was supposed to be weighing him down, but couldn't. Yi Changshan also tried to lift it out of curiosity, but he almost twisted his waist.

"This is too heavy, it must be a hundred pounds, right?"

Lin Jianhua shook his head: "It's not that heavy, how could it be that heavy? It's just the bag that's pressing down on it, and the bag isn't in the backpack.

As he spoke, Lin Jianhua took out the two large-looking bags. Yi Changshan saw that there was quite a bit of empty space in the backpack and nodded, thinking it shouldn't be too heavy.

Lin Mumu picked up the backpack, but he didn't do it all at once. He staggered for a while before he could carry it on.

Yi Changshan quickly lent a hand and almost prevented him from falling.

"This backpack is not light."

"It's not that heavy. I'm used to it. Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I'm very strong. I carried those two bags in Dad's hand all the way. I've been carrying them for too long and I'm hungry, so I'm resting here because I can't carry them anymore."

Lin Jianhua was afraid that she would say something else, so he hurried Lin Mumu to leave: "We'll go back first. The child's mother is waiting at home."

As he spoke, he held onto the backpack, pretending that he was helping to carry it.

Lin Mumu refused to cooperate with him: "Dad, don't press it down, it's too heavy."

Lin Jianhua: ...

Lin Jianhua pulled his hand back and pretended to lift the thing in his hand with difficulty. Then he walked forward without looking back, urging Lin Mumu to hurry up.

Yi Changshan, who wanted to go home after failing to help, saw Lu Xinyu following them and followed them out of curiosity. During the period, he did mention that he would help Lin Mumu carry some of the things in the backpack, but there were only two bags in the backpack, and the top bag weighed about 50 to 60 kilograms. Yi Changshan tried twice but failed to lift it.

After thanking him, Lin Mumu asked him to help Lin Jianhua carry some things. He also mentioned that Lin Jianhua was a scholar and couldn't carry the things. When they came out of the village, Lin Jianhua walked very slowly because he couldn't carry the things.

Yi Changshan and Lu Xinyu both felt a little contempt for Lin Jianhua. How shameless of him, a grown man who couldn't even lift something and yet let his daughter, who was already carrying something heavy, carry it. He was not a real man at all.

Lin Jianhua's face remained expressionless from beginning to end. Lin Mumu was too quick to speak, and he couldn't stop her. If she spoke any more, he would have to explain, so he simply stopped. Fortunately, it was just a matter of lifting something heavy. So, Lin Jianhua added, "Mumu has always been strong."

When they were almost home, Lin Jianhua quickened his pace to knock on the door, and after delivering the things into the yard, he came to help Lin Mumu carry the backpack. While carrying it, he said to Lu Xinyu and the others, "The child just arrived today, and he needs to rest for a while. I won't entertain you. Let's talk another day."

Then he hurriedly closed the door to the yard.

As soon as they got to the yard, Lin Jianhua let go. He whispered to Lin Mumu to go inside, so that no one outside could hear what they were saying.

Lin Huaiyu and her two sons were waiting for Lin Jianhua and Lin Mumu to come back, so they didn't cook.

Lin Huaiyu couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil, while Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze didn't want to eat porridge and boiled cabbage anymore. Knowing that Lin Jianhua and his friends would arrive before dinner, the three of them just had a few snacks to make do while waiting for them to return.

As soon as Lin Mumu entered the door, Lin Jianhua told her who was the eldest brother and who was the second brother, and then Lin Huaiyu sent her to the kitchen to cook.

"I've never cooked. When I was in the countryside, my grandma and others never let me cook." Lin Mumu spoke so loudly that Lin Huaiyu's ears hurt.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? This is not the countryside, speak softly."

Lin Mumu said "Oh" and said nothing more.

Lin Huaiyu didn't want to give the two boys money to go out and buy food anymore. No matter how much money she gave these two brats, they would only bring her one piece of food after each trip, and the rest would go into their stomachs.

Lin Jianhua brought back a lot of canned food this time, so he sent Lin Mumu to cook some clear soup noodles to eat with the canned food. He was worried that Lin Mumu would burn the noodles, so he asked Lin Huaiyu to tell her how to cook it and how long it would take.

After saying that, he sent Lin Mumu to the kitchen.
