On a rainy day, there was no one at the market, so Xiao Ru went directly to Uncle Yang's house, which specializes in selling woven products in the town, and bought a sturdy and durable back basket for two yuan and a half, and then went up the mountain to catch crabs.

Crabs are not easy to catch on rainy days, Xiaoru only caught fifty or sixty crabs for an hour, and he didn't dare to catch them anymore, for fear of missing the last train.

When they returned home to the county seat, the two little brothers had also returned, and they each caught a large basket of crabs.

The little one was wet, so he helped Xiaoru take off the basket on his back, and complained: "Didn't I leave you a note asking you not to go to the mountains to catch crabs?" You are a girl, you can't compare me and Xiao Chu, if you get cold, it will have a big impact on your body. ”

"I'm not a city girl, I'm so squeamish, it's okay." Xiao Ru put the leeks into the pot, prepared to take them to the well to wash, and instructed Xiao to mix noodles and chop ginger and meat filling.

When Xiao Ru came back from washing the leeks, Xiao Yu had already reconciled the noodles, and Xiao Chu was still struggling to chop the meat filling.

Xiao only patted the white and chubby dough and said: "It's useless to reconcile the noodles, how to roll the dumpling skin without a rolling pin." ”

Xiaoru put down the vegetable bowl with leeks: "I'll go and borrow a rolling pin from the landlord." "I went out and soon came back with a small rolling pin.

The dumpling skin can be rolled first, and the little one sits at the table to roll the dumpling skin, as small as waiting for Xiao Chu to chop the meat filling, and then cut the leeks into thin pieces to prepare the filling.

The brothers and sisters talked while working.

Because Xiao saw that he was quick to talk and told the two brothers what happened to him and Xiao Ru in the morning, Xiao only asked a few words about the two unscrupulous market administrators who made it difficult for her in the morning, and asked her sister and brother if the injuries on their bodies were serious.

Xiao Ru poured the finely chopped leeks and Xiao Chu's minced meat into a basin and stirred: "There are no injuries on my body, but my clothes were wet when I fell in the rain, so it's okay." ”

He also told the two brothers that the purchase of Mayflower asked her to send one hundred and fifty crabs to his hotel every day.

The two little brothers were very happy: "There are a lot of crabs in the creek on our mountain, and only a few of my brothers and sisters and Brother Dayong catch them, it is not difficult to catch one hundred and fifty crabs of more than six taels a day, this money is easy to make." ”

Xiaoru adjusted the dumpling filling and brought it to the table, and the brothers and sisters made dumplings together.

Xiao saw that he wanted to come to join in the fun and make dumplings, but Xiao Ru was afraid that he would step on things, so he didn't let him do it.

Xiao Jian had no choice but to lean on Xiao Yu's arms and salivate as he watched his brother and sister make dumplings.

Xiao only rolled the dumpling skin, thought about it, and said, "One hundred and fifty big crabs are at least ninety pounds, how can you carry such a heavy load?" It's still not easy to make money. ”

Xiaoru put a pinched dumpling on the table: "It's okay, I'll go to the mountains to catch crabs in two parts, and then send them to the hotel in two parts." ”

Xiao Jian shouted loudly: "I'll help my sister catch it, I'll help my sister send it." ”

Little One raised his hand and tapped on his little head, leaving a mark of white flour: "Can you help your sister catch a few crabs?" How many crabs can you carry? ”

Xiao Chu glanced at everyone: "Anyway, I'm in my first year of high school now, and the course is not tight, so it's better for me to take half a day off every day to catch crabs in the mountains and send them over, so Xiao Ru doesn't have to run hard in the mountains twice a day." ”

Xiao Ru kicked him under the table: "Call sister!" ”

Xiao only threw the rolled dumpling wrapper to Xiao Ru, who was very fast at making dumplings: "Although you are not busy with your homework now, will the teacher approve taking half a day off every day?" ”

Xiao Chu carefully closed the dumplings in his hand: "I told the teacher that my family is so poor that I can't open the pot, I have to go out every afternoon to make money, otherwise I can't even afford to read, and the teacher will definitely agree." ”

Xiaoru quickly wrapped dumplings: "That's okay, you can catch about 100 catties of crabs every time and carry them back, and these crabs will be sent to the hotel, and the crabs I catch will be sold in the vegetable market to make more money." You bring your homework back every day and study it on your own in the evening. ”

As the brother and sister spoke, the dumplings were all wrapped.

Then boil water to boil the dumplings, and Komi has been holding tightly on the stove and waiting for the dumplings to cook.

After the dumplings are cooked, the brothers and sisters have a large bowl of rice per person, and many dumplings are put in a basin, and whoever is not enough will add it.

Xiaoru's dumpling filling tasted very delicious, and Xiao Jian was full of praise for all of them.

Xiao only said in surprise: "You haven't cooked in your house before, why is cooking so delicious?" ”

Xiaoru picked up a dumpling and blew it, and wrote lightly: "Girls are born to cook, what is there to be surprised about." ”

Xiao Zhi casually asked how the household registration was going, and Xiao Ru told him the progress: "I can go to the police station in a few days to get our new household registration." ”

Xiao Chu stuffed a whole dumpling into his mouth and said vaguely: "After the hukou and the Lin family are separated, we have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore, I am happy when I think about it." ”

Xiao Ru didn't eat any more after eating a bowl of dumplings, and the three brothers ate more dumplings.

Komi ate too much and lay on the bed without moving.

After eating dumplings, Xiao Chu rushed to wash the dishes.

Xiao only picked up Xiao Jian from the bed and sat down: "Just finished eating, it's not good to lie down." ”

Then he took out something wrapped in newspaper from the cardboard box containing the clothes, handed it to Xiao Ru, and said, "Happy birthday." ”

Xiao Ru was checking an old piece of Xiao Jian's clothes, and a button had fallen off it, thinking about whether he was going to buy some sewing kits and buttons and other things back tomorrow, and was surprised when he heard Xiao Yu's words: "It's my birthday?" ”

The brothers and sisters of the original owner never had a birthday in the Lin family, so Xiao Ru didn't expect to unknowingly arrive at the original owner's birthday.

He took the thing wrapped in newspaper from his little hand and said curiously, "What's inside?" ”

Xiao only smiled gently: "You can know what's inside when you open it." ”

He also said: "Tomorrow is your birthday, but we have class tomorrow and we can't celebrate it for you, so I will celebrate you in advance today." ”

Xiaoru opened the newspaper, and inside was a bright printed cloth and a dark blue clean fabric, which could be used to make a new dress.

Xiaoru looked up and asked, "Where did the money come from to buy the fabric?" ”

Xiao Chu sat cross-legged on the bed: "The money deducted from the last National Day when I sold sugar gourds with my brother." ”

Xiao Ru said angrily: "Why spend money indiscriminately? Even if you want to buy fabrics, you buy them for yourself, you have to wear them well in school, and I don't go to school, so it doesn't matter what you wear. ”

Xiao only said: "You should dress up more beautifully if you are a girl, what do the two young men and I have to dress up, besides, isn't it because of your birthday, what kind of blind spending?" ”

Xiaoru's heart was full of warmth, and she smiled at the two little brothers: "Thank you." ”

Xiao only waved his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you?" Remember to boil yourself two eggs tomorrow morning to eat. ”

I don't know if it's because the rain is too long during the day, and there is some pain in the lower abdomen at night.
