The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Lin Huaiyu glanced at her husband, and after seeing him nod, she went back to the room and took out 10 yuan.

"It's already the 10th of this month, and there are 20 days left. I'll give you 7 yuan, and the remaining 3 yuan will be used to buy daily necessities. Wash your clothes and clean your room later. Go buy some vegetables. If you don't have time to cook for your dad at noon, you can cook for him tonight."

Lin Mumu put the bed board that was pressing down on Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze back on the bed, took the 10 yuan, and said with a smile: "I told you, the money is for housework. Buying groceries is not my responsibility, you can handle that yourself."

"You can't stand the smell of cooking fumes while you're pregnant, but you can't be unable to move, right? If the rice and flour are heavy, then let these two carry them. You've raised your sons to such a size, and if you don't let them help you with some things, do you really have to wait on them all the time?"

"I cook whatever is available in the kitchen. Teacher Lin must have heard the saying 'A good cook cannot cook without rice'. Besides, I'm not a good cook. I've never cooked, I've only watched. Whether I can cook well depends on luck."

After keeping the money, Lin Mumu let Lin Jianhua go.

"Anyway, I'm only responsible for the housework that requires money. You can decide what to cook, what to eat, and what vegetables to buy." Lin Mumu's implication was that don't expect her to do anything that doesn't require money.

For example, they boiled water for drinking or bathing. This courtyard had a bathroom, but it was next to the toilet, and water flowed from the toilet to the squat toilet. However, the bathroom had nothing else except a large bucket, a bath tub, and a rack for clothes.

If you want to take a bath, you have to fetch water, boil it and put it in the water before you can take a hot bath.

So in the summer, Lin Yuanyu and his friends often fetched water from the yard and washed directly.

Lin Huaiyu helped Lin Jianhua, and looked at Lin Mumu with eyes like two knives, but there was nothing he could do.

"I've taken your money. Now go cook a bowl of noodles for your dad and fry two poached eggs. I'll get the food to you." There was some food in stock at home, but because there were too many moldy places in the kitchen before, Lin Huaiyu was afraid that the food would get moldy if left there, so he moved it into the house.

It was in the main room. Lin Mumu also saw it last night, but she would not take the initiative to take them.

Since Lin Mumu had to eat and cook, there was no point in putting the food in the main room. Lin Huaiyu asked Lin Mumu to move the things to the kitchen and put them away.

"Sure, it's ten cents per move. Any last-minute requests will be charged separately. Take the money first, and I'll do the work."

Lin Mumu didn't move, so she reached out. Lin Huaiyu glared at her two sons who were still sitting and lying on the floor after the bed was moved away. "Go into the main room and move your things. Do you still want to eat?"

Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze immediately got up. After a whole night and a whole morning of sleep, they were hungry.

After bringing the things to the kitchen, Lin Mumu took 4 eggs and fried them, then cut a piece of bacon and stir-fried it, and then put water in the bottom of the pot to cook the noodles.

There were no vegetables at home, nor in the yard. Lin Huaiyu had no desire to grow vegetables. The reason she grew onions, ginger, and garlic was because she often forgot when she bought groceries. So, she bought some seeds and planted them. She only watered them when she remembered, so they didn't grow very well.

When the dish was removed from the wok, Lin Mumu sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on top. A yellow egg, garnished with green chopped green onions, and then the stir-fried bacon was placed on top of the bowls. Five bowls of noodles and four soup bowls were for Lin Jianhua and his group. Lin Mumu used a small rice bowl, which had fewer noodles but the same number of bacon slices as the other bowls.

The main room, also known as the living room, had a fan. Lin Jianhua and Lin Huaiyu sat on the sofa waiting, while Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze went to wash up.

After Lin Mumu cooked the noodles, she carried her noodles into the living room, sat down and prepared to eat.

"Where are ours?" Lin Huaiyu asked unhappily, and Lin Jianhua also looked at him unhappily.

"It only costs ten cents to cook two meals, which is equivalent to five cents for one meal. You still want to enjoy the service of having food served to you at such a low price? You should go to the kitchen to serve it and wash it yourself after eating. Washing it up is not my responsibility."

After saying that, Lin Mumu ignored them and started eating noodles.

Lin Jianhua didn't want to talk to Lin Mumu anymore. He felt like he'd be furious if he said a few more words to his money-obsessed daughter. He couldn't beat her, and if he cursed, she'd be louder than him.

At this time, people who had gone home for dinner had finished their meals and were preparing for a nap. If she shouted loudly, it would definitely attract the neighbors.

I can’t beat them or scold them, so I can only pretend I didn’t see it.

Fortunately, the noodles prepared in the kitchen made Lin Jianhua feel a little relieved. Their bowls were much bigger than hers.

Lin Jianhua brought his and his wife's noodles to the dining table in the living room. Lin Yuanyu and the others smelled the noodles and wanted to pick up the bowls and eat directly, but Lin Jianhua scolded them and told them to go get it themselves.

Lin Huaiyu used to prepare meals for everyone in the family, but ever since she became pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of cooking fumes, they hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. So Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze had almost forgotten that they used to be able to just sit down and eat without having to cook.

But because they were hungry, they didn't think too much.

She ran into the kitchen, brought out the noodles and ate them, and each of them ate a steamed bun. She bought 10 steamed buns in the morning, and there were still 4 left. Lin Huaiyu took them out and shared them with her husband and two sons.
