In the book, I was fed by my sister

Song Ran pinched off four small pieces of the old dough, put them in clean water, and gently crushed them with his hands.

Then mix the flour together and start kneading the dough. Put the kneaded dough in a bowl, cover it with a wet white linen cloth, and set it aside to rise.

While the dough was resting, Song Ran started to prepare the fillings for the dumplings. This time she prepared two flavors: pickled pork and vermicelli pork.

Next, wash the sauerkraut twice, squeeze out the water and chop it into small pieces.

Then chop the onion and ginger into fine pieces.

Grandma Gu helped to mince the meat, chopping the fat and lean meat separately.

After the meat filling is chopped, heat the pot, put the fat into the small pot first, and fry the lard and lard residue. The fried lard can increase the fragrance of the filling, and the lard residue can also improve the taste.

Then add the scallion whites and chopped green onions and stir-fry until fragrant. Mix the fried oil, oil residue, sauerkraut, minced lean meat and scallion greens evenly. The sauerkraut and pork filling is ready.

At this time, the vermicelli was soaked and became white and transparent after absorbing water, and the taste was smooth. Song Ran cut the vermicelli into small pieces with scissors, poured the vermicelli and minced meat into the pot where the pickled cabbage and pork had just been fried, and continued to fry until fragrant.

Finally, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, stir well, and the vermicelli pork filling is ready.

Song Ran uncovered the wet cloth and saw that the dough had risen to two cups. "It's done."

Grandma Song Rangu and her husband started making dumplings.

"What delicious food are you making? Look what good things I bought!" Su Xiaoxiao's voice sounded outside the door.

When Da Mai heard the sound, he immediately ran out happily. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao, he shouted excitedly, "Sweet water!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, saying, "You have no conscience. You only think about my food." As she spoke, she took out ice jelly from the food box and called Song Li, "Little guy, I've prepared some for you too."

Song Ran and his partner also came out of the kitchen. Seeing the donkey parked at the door and the fancy awning on the cart, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you bought a donkey!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled proudly, leaned on the donkey cart, raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it amazing!"

"Oh, you are really good! What a coincidence, I am making dumplings right now, come and help make them."

"Okay, I'll tie up my donkey."

The three of them went into the kitchen to make dumplings, while Song Li and Damai sat outside rubbing corn cobs.

Song Ran suddenly asked: "By the way, what are you going to do with the photo?"

The photo sticker is the ID card here. Su Xiaoxiao later realized that she didn't have it. Although it is not necessary as long as you don't leave Fengxian.

But you still have to keep this thing in reserve, as you will need it if you want to buy a house in the future.

"I asked, and there are two ways. One is to get married first and then divorce, which is equivalent to going through the motions. I don't think it's a big deal, it just means Lin Shijia will become a second-married man."

Upon hearing this, Song Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that Su Xiaoxiao's idea was really bizarre.

Grandma Gu was surprised by Su Xiaoxiao's unusual behavior.

She is really old and can't keep up with the ideas of young people.

Song Ran continued to ask: "What else?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Also, money talks. Use money to smooth things over."

Song Ran joked, "Then Boss Su will have to work hard to find the money."

The three of them chatted and laughed while they wrapped the buns.

Song Ran looked at the buns of various shapes that Su Xiaoxiao had made and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, your buns are really weird. You can eat yours later."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled nonchalantly and said, "Who knows, at least I have barley to help me eat, hehe."

Grandma Gu glanced at Da Mai, who was smiling foolishly in the yard, and sighed, "Hey, what do you think we should do with the money?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Song Ran in confusion, and Song Ran told her everything that happened that morning.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to curse loudly, but when she saw Grandma Gu was there, she endured it.

In her opinion, no matter what the reason was, she couldn't understand watching her loved ones do that kind of thing.

She took a deep breath and analyzed calmly, "We should plan carefully. If money can't make money, it won't last. A family with land and fields can't spend much money, but Da Mai can hardly take care of himself. If he relies on this money to eat, he will just eat up all the money."

Grandma Gu said, "I can take care of her. I'm lonely anyway, so it's good to have someone to keep me company."

Su Xiaoxiao disagreed in her heart. To put it bluntly, in a few years, this old lady would have trouble taking care of herself, so how would she have the energy to take care of others?

She shook her head and suggested, "I think it's better to make money from it. Why not invest in me and get dividends when the time comes."

"Investment? Dividends?" Song Ran and Grandma Gu both asked puzzledly.

"I'm planning to open a store, but I'm still short of capital. If someone can invest, I can prepare in advance. What do you think, Sister Ran? Become one of my investors."

Song Ran and Grandma Gu looked at each other and saw the admiration in each other's eyes. Su Xiaoxiao's ability to make money was really amazing. It had only been a short time, but she was already able to buy a donkey and became familiar with several bosses in the city.

Song Ran felt that she was able to make money mostly because of luck, being able to grow mushrooms and get this connection. But Su Xiaoxiao relied entirely on herself and worked hard in the city.

Song Ran nodded and said, "Okay, tell me about it, and then we can take advantage of Boss Su."

After lunch, Ran took his hoe and went to his own field. There were still corn and sorghum roots in the field, which needed to be turned out.

But when she just walked into the field, she found that someone was already turning the soil.

"Brother Zhu, why are you here? Didn't I tell you already? From now on, our land will be taken back."

Zhu Yongbiao smiled shyly and replied, "How can a weak woman like you have the ability to turn over so much land? You were busy taking care of Xiao Li'er before, and you didn't work in the fields very often. I'm afraid you can't do such rough work."

Song Li felt so sick that she wanted to vomit after hearing the name "Xiao Li'er".

Zhu Yongbiao's sister Zhu Ximei also came over. Under Zhu Yongbiao's gaze, she said hypocritically: "Sister Ran, we have been helping each other over the years. Don't worry, we will help you with this little job."

Song Ran was not going to take advantage of this little bit, so he said that it would be better to cut off the work first, so as to avoid disputes later. "Okay! I still want to find someone to do the work. Thank you, brother and sister of the Zhu family. I don't know what the current labor rate is, do you think twenty and a half days is okay?"

Zhu Ximei's face suddenly fell, and she said unhappily, "We are not here to help, this piece of land will remain the same as before. We will help you farm it, and you can divide it when the time comes. All these years have passed like this, why are you suddenly so stubborn?"

"I gave you the land to farm before, so I won't mind how much food you ate. If you want to help me, just agree on the price and I'll pay you. If you continue to do this and come here without asking, don't say I'm taking advantage of you."

As Song Ran spoke, he shouted to the people watching the excitement: "Everyone help to be a witness! We will take back this land and plant it ourselves in the future."

Zhu Ximei shouted, "My family has made the land so fertile, you can harvest it if you want!"

Song Ran retorted, "Whether the land is fertile or not is not up to you. I didn't see my land being rated as top quality this time. The grain we distribute has been getting less and less in recent years. Where did the 'fertility' go? It must have gone into your stomach!"

As the quarrel became louder, people working nearby gathered around. Zhu Yongbiao tried to smooth things over: "Well, if Miss Song encounters any difficulties in the future and needs help, just tell me."

The two of them actually left like this, which was beyond Song Ran's expectation.

When the two were arguing just now, people who were working nearby heard it. When Zhu Yongbiao left, they came to Song Ran.

Li Chunzhi said enthusiastically: "Ran Meier, did you just say you wanted to find someone to plow the soil?

"Yes, Sister Haruzhi, I'm wondering if I should talk to the village chief."

"Hey, I'll help you. I'll go back and tell them that my brother-in-law and his family are free. Is it twenty cents?"

Song Ran saw that Li Chunzhi looked like she was taking advantage of him, so she knew that the price was too high. But the words had already been said, and if Chunzhi's share was omitted, she would feel resentful.

She nodded. "Yes."
