Chapter 41 Can't Cook
While Lin Yuzhu was going through a difficult inner struggle, Zhao Yanshu was secretly observing her.
Seeing her expression sometimes frowning, as if she had suffered a blow, and sometimes gritting her teeth and showing high morale, I couldn't help but laugh secretly.
He knew how much his wife disliked studying, and he thought that she was just talking when she suddenly said she wanted to take the college entrance examination.
Unexpectedly, now seeing that he can actually persist, I guess he has made up his mind and it is not just a momentary thought.
This made him look at him with new eyes.
In this case, as a husband, he cannot hold her back. He secretly thought that after he finished the exam, he would help her organize the review materials so that she could relax a little.
…
Lin Yuzhu currently doesn't know what she thinks of her husband.
After finishing the moving, it was already the end of the month and there were only a few days left until the college entrance examination next month.
Although Zhao Yanshu was confident, he also tried his best to make good use of his time to review, for fear that there would always be someone better than him.
Lin Yuzhu has been reading by herself these days and has not disturbed him. She even persuaded Shuyao not to bother her father.
However, Zhao Yanshu did not review all the time. He continued to change his son's diapers, do housework and cook every day.
Lin Yuzhu wanted to help several times but he refused, not even letting her cook.
In fact, at this time in her previous life, Lin Yuzhu was not very good at cooking.
Before she got married, the eldest sister and the fourth sister were responsible for cooking at home. Of course, the food was usually locked in the cupboard by Lin's mother, and would only be opened when cooking, and then a fixed amount would be given to them.
After all, food was precious in those days, and everyone had a limited amount to eat.
Logically speaking, shouldn't children like Lin Yuzhu and her second sister, who are not liked by their parents, do more work?
This brings us to the clever second sister. The most troublesome job at home is cooking. In order to avoid having to cook, every time she is asked to cook, she will deliberately add a lot of seasonings, especially oil. The rice cooked in this way is delicious, but it is too painful. After all, oil in that era was also purchased in a fixed quantity and required oil coupons.
Lin's mother beat and scolded her second sister, but she continued to do as she pleased and refused to change. Lin's mother couldn't just stand by and watch her cook every time, so she had no choice but to deprive her of her right to cook.
Although Lin Yuzhu was not smart, she was studious. Seeing her second sister easily get rid of the cooking work, she followed suit. Although she was beaten several times, she was also kicked out of the kitchen permanently.
So this job fell on the eldest sister and the fourth sister, and she and the second sister only had to clean the house every day.
Oh, originally Lin's mother had not planned to let them have it so easy. She was going to let them take over washing clothes. However, it was okay in the summer, but it was so cold in the winter, and there were so many clothes for the family, how could they wash them all? Moreover, their hands would be frozen red after washing every time, and they were prone to frostbite.
So the second sister came up with another idea. She asked her to deliberately tear her clothes every time so that she could pick out good clothes.
Lin's mother also realized that the two of them did it on purpose, but no matter how hard she tried, she beat them and scolded them, they just refused to change. When she was beaten too hard, they started yelling and screaming. When the fight got out of hand, the second sister would shout everywhere that they were being exploited and that she would go to the Women's Federation to seek redress.
In the end, Lin's mother felt embarrassed and was afraid that it would affect Lin's father's work, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and stop letting them wash clothes in the winter. The two of them were only responsible for washing their own clothes.
But after that, I gave them less food. Of course, I didn’t dare not give them any, because I was afraid that my second sister would make a fuss and lose her job.
So Lin Yuzhu never learned how to cook at her mother's home.
