Chapter 218 Dad’s Dignity is Gone

Lin’s mother said that her son should not have come back and she felt sorry for the hardship he had to endure.

But Lin’s father thought it was good that his son came back and was willing to do farm work. At least he would not become spoiled just because he earned money.

“Xiao Feng is only in her twenties. She has a long way to go in life. It’s okay to suffer a little.”

“Didn’t you help with housework during the holidays during the busy farming season when you were a kid? What’s wrong? You could do that when you were a kid, but you can’t do that now that you’ve grown up?”

Mother Lin sighed and said nothing more.

Lin Feng mentioned this matter to his wife.

Lu Qingxue began to pack her things. “Honey, I’ll pack the babies’ things. You can decide for yourself what to take.”

From babies’ clothes, to toys, to their dishes and chopsticks.

Lu Qingxue thought of everything and packed a big bag of things.

“Have you brought baby powder, talcum powder, and mosquito repellent?
“I’ve brought them all. Don’t worry about me doing the job!”

The next day, after the family had breakfast, Lin Feng watered the vegetables in the yard and then set off.

When we arrived home at nine o’clock, only Lin’s father was there. Lin’s mother had gone to help another family harvest wheat.

After the family has finished harvesting, they come over to help their family.

Father Lin said, “We didn’t plant much wheat and corn this year, but we planted a lot of rice.”

He has difficulty walking, so he cooks at home, but the food is not very good, so everyone just eats it as it is.

“Let me cook. Dad, go find a sickle or something. I’ll help you cut the grass this afternoon.”

Father Lin hummed, “Okay.”

Lu Qingxue asked herself what she could do and if there was any way she could help.

“Just take good care of Ping An and Ru Yi at home! Reaping wheat is not an easy job, it is very hard work.”

When Lu Qingxue heard that it was so hard, she immediately felt distressed.

“Can’t we use machines to harvest wheat?”

“Yes, but some of the crops still need people to cut them. For example, at the bottom of the mountain, you can only drive a car. Machines can’t go down there.”

“Well, can you ask someone to help you cut it?”

“Of course, the problem is that everyone is busy right now and we can’t hire anyone!”

Looks like it’s just my hard-working husband!
Lin Feng usually works part-time during the summer vacation and doesn’t know what’s going on at home.

Every time Lin’s mother called, she only reported good news and never bad news. Some things were downplayed and passed over in passing.

Father Lin took a look at his son’s car and asked, “Did you change the car?”

Lin Feng hummed, “This car can seat seven people, so you and mom will have a place to sit in the future.”

Father Lin nodded and said, “Just spend the money where it should be spent and don’t waste it.”

Cooking in the kitchen is a real test, it’s so hot that it’s steaming.

Even though a fan is installed, it’s still hot.

“Dad, Dad!”

Ruyi came over with a toy, “Tiger!”

Lin Feng nodded, “Ruyi, go over and play. Dad is cooking. It’s so hot here!”

Ruyi turned around and went to the living room, and then ran over again to show her father her new toys.

In the end, Lin Feng had no choice but to close the door and cook.

Ruyi knocked on the door, showed Lin Feng the toy, and ran away.

He didn’t even see what it was!
Lin Feng prepared the meal and left it to dry.

Soon, I saw Lin’s mother and Zhou’s couple coming back, wearing straw hats and long sleeves, holding a sickle in one hand and a water cup in the other. “Is your Xiaofeng back?”

“Ah, that shouldn’t be the case. The cars are different. Xiao Feng is not this car!”

Aunt Zhou said loudly, “It’s nothing. Xiao Feng is standing outside. He must have changed cars.”

Lin Feng smiled, “The meal is ready, come and eat!”

The couple had fed Ping An and Ruyi, and Lu Qingxue was taking them to the second floor to play.

Lin’s mother reminded the Zhou couple, “Put the sickle away. It would be terrible if the children saw it and played with it.”

Aunt Zhou quickly picked up the sickle on the table and said, “Yes, yes, yes, keep this thing safe!”

Putting the sickle on the cupboard, the three of them washed their hands and ate. Smelling the delicious food, they felt so happy for a moment.

They have been busy these days, leaving Lin’s father at home to cook.

The food was really hard to describe. After eating it, they felt that harvesting wheat was not bitter at all.

The hard part is eating such terrible food, but there is no other way, you have to eat it even if it tastes terrible.

Aunt Zhou said it directly at the dinner table.

“Xiao Feng’s cooking skills are really good, but your father’s cooking skills are terrible. The rice he cooks is so unpalatable.” “You don’t even know how he cuts meat, how long can he cut chopsticks for you!”

Father Lin laughed, “It’s not that exaggerated. It’s only this long.”

Aunt Zhou asked back, “What’s the difference? They’re all very long anyway!”

Ping’an Ruyi heard some noise downstairs and ran downstairs, calling for his father.

“Wife, wash your hands and eat!”

Lu Qingxue greeted everyone, and Aunt Zhou said, “You’ve lost a lot of weight. Are you trying to lose weight?”

“I’m telling you, don’t lose weight, just be healthy!”

Lu Qingxue smiled, “I didn’t lose weight. I naturally lost weight after I was weaned!
Ruyi wants her dad to hug her and wants to see what delicious food the adults are eating!
All of these have some chili in them, except for one which has a bland soup.

Ruyi stood on the bench and was as tall as Lin Feng who was sitting.

Aunt Zhou took a look and said, “You have grown a lot. The last time I saw a one-year-old child, he was not as tall as Ping An Ru Yi.”

“Ruyi, do you want to eat it? You can’t eat this, it’s spicy!”

Ruyi refused to listen to the advice. She stomped her feet and hugged Lin Feng, calling him daddy all the time.

Ping An is not that greedy. As long as he is full, he won’t want to eat this or that.

Everyone looked at Ruyi. Since no matter how much they tried to coax her, it was no use, Lin Feng simply let her have a taste.

I picked up a small piece of cabbage leaf and fed it to Ruyi.

“Come on, don’t you want to eat? Come on!”

Ruyi frowned at first, as she had never tasted such a flavor before.

After all, she hasn’t even touched salt yet.

Then it started to get spicy. She covered her mouth with her two hands and looked for Lin Feng.
“Daddy, daddy”

Lin Feng had already prepared some water. “Come, drink some water.”

Ruyi felt better then. Lin Feng asked her, “Do you want to eat more?”

Ruyi shook her head at first, but then couldn’t resist the delicious food and nodded after hesitation.

Lin Feng asked helplessly, “Are you still eating? Aren’t you afraid of the spiciness?”

Aunt Zhou waved her hand and said, “Don’t eat it, Ruyi. When you grow up, Dad will make you whatever you want to eat!”

Since everyone was persuading her, Ruyi pointed at the dishes and told Lin Feng that she wanted to eat them.

Lin Feng had almost finished his meal. After finishing the rest in a few bites, he picked up his daughter and left.
Ruyi looked at him eagerly, “Dad, Dad…”

Lin Feng said, “Come on, Dad will find you something fun!”

When Ruyi heard that it was fun, she hesitated for a moment and then asked, “What’s fun?”

In fact, Lin Feng didn’t know what was fun, so he just tried to coax her first.

“Dad will find it for you. Let’s see what fun things there are in grandma’s house…

Lin Feng held Ruyi and began to search around, and finally found a colored pen and a piece of paper.

“Come, Dad will draw you a Ruyi, okay?”

Ruyi lay in front of the coffee table and looked curiously.

Lin Feng called Ping An over as well, “Ping An, come and watch daddy draw dolls.”

After Ping An heard the noise, he took his mother’s hand and asked Lu Qingxue to accompany him to watch. “Look at dad drawing dolls.”

Lin Feng’s painting skills are not that good, but in front of the children, he must have momentum

He drew a circle and said, “This is the doll’s head, these are the big eyes, this is the nose, this is the mouth…”

In the end, he drew a doll that was so ugly that his wife laughed so hard that she fell on the coffee table.

Lin Feng asked Ruyi, “Is Dad’s painting good looking?”

Ruyi nodded, “It looks good!”

Lin Feng asked Ping An again, but Ping An didn’t say anything. It seemed that he was a person with appreciation level.

Lu Qingxue smiled, “Hubby, come here, let me draw you what a doll is!”

She drew a Q-version doll with just a few strokes, which was very cute.

Lin Feng was surprised, “Wife, can you draw?”

Lu Qingxue replied, “Yes, you see I have learned anime drawing. Ruyi, is mom’s drawing good looking?”

Ruyi said loudly, “It looks great!”

What’s even more outrageous is that he kissed the baby directly, which hit Lin Feng hard.

Ping An expressed his own opinion this time, “Mom’s is beautiful!”

Lin Feng finally said sincerely, “Yes, my mother’s paintings are indeed much better than my father’s.”
