In the yard, Li Taohua, who had just come back, put the washed pig in the water, said hello and was about to go home to cook, but was called back by Jiang's mother and told her that she was going to hire her on a monthly basis.

"Look, give you seven dollars a month, what do you think?"

Li Taohua couldn't believe that pie really fell from the sky, did her daily prayers work, how could such a good thing fall on her head.

He asked again: "Sister-in-law, don't scare me, it's really seven yuan a month, just doing work, how can you ask for so much money."

"I'm a little bad when I'm pregnant with this fetus, doesn't I have to drink medicine every day to recuperate? Erya doesn't want me to be too tired, I will rely on you in the future, the salary is negotiated by us, you can rest assured. ”

Li Taohua was moved to tears, and shouted "hey" with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't say anything else.

Erya came back humming a nursery rhyme, and shouted as soon as she entered the yard: "Mother, we dug up a lot of river mussels today, let's eat this tonight, and there is a soft-shelled turtle, this thing is a big supplement, but you can't eat it."

Lin Xiao, who followed behind, also shouted: "Auntie."

Jiang Mu let out a "hey" and looked at the river mussel that Lin Xiao brought back: "What are you doing with this thing back?" Can I eat this thing? ”

She had never heard of this being edible, and if she could, it would have been fished out by others, and the children in the village in the small river ran seven or eight times a day, and all the things they could eat had already been scavenged.

Erya crisply continued: "Mother, this is delicious, when I finish cleaning up, you come to the kitchen, let's have a big meal."

If Erya says that it can be eaten, the taste will definitely not be bad.

Erya pulled Li Taohua: "Aunt Peach Blossom, you are also eating here today, call Brother Goudan over, it just so happens that Brother Lin Xiao is also here, let's have a belated housewarming meal."

Li Taohua responded with a mouthful, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go home and get some sauerkraut pickled peppers or something, you definitely don't have many of these things, let's get a few more dishes and be happy."

It's nice to have a stable job and take care of your family, but you have to celebrate.

Jiang's mother nodded: "That's a good feeling, when we split up, the sauerkraut we gave was already finished, and I was a little hungry for sauerkraut."

Li Taohua ran home to get her things.

Erya studied with Mother Jiang how to clean up this soft-shelled turtle, this thing is delicious to stew for a while, and it has to be cleaned up first.

Mother Jiang, who was a little girl at home before, saw the soft-shelled turtle at home, and exclaimed while dealing with it: "Such a big old turtle, how did you catch it, this thing is fierce, and you won't let go if you bite someone."

Erya winked at Jiang Mu: "Hehe, maybe it likes me, I turned it over when it climbed in front of me, and I couldn't run if I wanted to."

Jiang Mu understood at once, didn't ask anything more, and concentrated on dealing with the soft-shelled turtle:

First turn the soft-shelled turtle over and face down, the soft-shelled turtle will try to turn over when it feels the danger, and the neck will be extended.

Stand up the body of the soft-shelled turtle, cut it along the shell with a knife, remove all the internal organs in the stomach, and wash it with water.

Put the shell and meat of the soft-shelled turtle in the pot, put the ginger, green onion and peppercorns, and add a large pot of water, Lin Xiao stayed by the side for a long time, and finally had his own work to do, so he hurriedly rushed to the front of Lin Jianguo to light the fire.

Lin Jianguo saw that this kid was robbing him of his credit, glared at him, and went to the yard to continue sharpening bamboo sticks.

After the soft-shelled turtle was dealt with, Erya and Li Taohua went to clean up the river mussels, and there was not much water at home, so they could only go to the river again.

It's too inconvenient to do this every time, when will it be good to dig a well at home, Er Ya has an idea in her heart, and she is ready to start looking for someone to dig a well when she is free.

"Yo, Li Taohua, I see you running to Lin Jianguo every day, stammering with the Lin family, their family is poor, what's the use of you stammering their family."

"That's right, you might as well feed more pigs or something at that time, and quickly return our family's account."

The one who spoke was the dog's mother, who was the most bitter and mean, especially the shortcomings of Li Taohua, and every time I saw her, I had to mock her.

Li Taohua had to say with a smiling face: "Aunt He, give me a period of leniency, I will be the first to give you."

"Yo, don't say that I'm not emotional, I will allow you for another month, and if I don't give it again, I will increase the interest."

Li Taohua nodded helplessly, and fled to the river.

The second girl didn't keep up with her because of her short legs, but she was pulled by the woman:

"I'll tell you, Erya, you go home and tell your mother, don't have too deep contact with Li Taohua, she is the most unlucky, the old woman is in good health, she has only been in the door for a few years, be careful that your house is also imitated by her."

Erya glanced at the woman in front of her who was sowing discord, "Auntie, our family knows who Aunt Peach Blossom is, so you better take care of your own family's affairs."

Forcefully broke away and went to find Li Taohua.

"Phew, I don't know what to do, the old lady kindly reminds you that it is really the same character as Li Taohua's mourning star, and the old lady's tongue is in vain."

When Erya arrived at the river, Li Taohua had been waiting for a while, and when she saw Erya coming, she said apologetically: "Erya, you look at the aunt's memory, patronizing and hiding from his aunt, forgetting that you are still behind."

She hated her sister-in-law for sneering at her every time they met, because she owed her money, she could only accompany the smiling face every time, save a little this month, and when her salary was paid, she had to return her ten yuan to her.

"It's okay, auntie, let's hurry up and wash the mussels, eat all the delicious food in our stomachs, and don't care what others say."

Pry open the mussels one by one, and throw away the black entrails and skirts that you don't want, and the white meat that is left is delicious meat.

There were not many river mussels in the basket, so Li Taohua cleaned all the river mussels with her hands and feet, and went home with Erya's hand.

At home, Jiang's mother has already made a few dishes, the ready-made pig went into the water to fry the bandit pork liver, stir-fried the pork belly, fried a few eggs, took the sauerkraut that Li Taohua brought over and stuffed a sauerkraut stew, added some chopped pickled peppers, fried two appetizers, and a large pot of soft-shelled turtle soup.

A big table was set up, some rice was steamed, steamed buns were heated, and what you wanted to eat.

As soon as Erya entered the courtyard, she smelled a strong fragrance, and ran to the hall to take a look: "Wow⊙∀⊙!" It's too rich today, I'm going to eat more."

Jiang Mu looked at the happy Erya with a smile: "Okay, let's all eat enough with our open bellies today, and whoever doesn't eat is not allowed to get off the table."
