The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Lin Xiaoman was puzzled. Could it be that the person before did not cook the shrimps thoroughly?

Or is it just that the person who eats it is allergic to river food?

"Have you seen anyone eating shrimp? Um, have the long-bearded worms died?" Lin Xiaoman asked.

Li Erli touched his head and glanced at Lin Jingzhe: "I heard it from the old people in the village before."

Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Dajiang again: "Dad, are long-bearded insects really poisonous?"

Lin Dajiang nodded, "Anyway, no one in our area eats those long-bearded worms."

"How about we catch some and give it a try?" Lin Xiaoman was eager to try. She just couldn't believe that the delicious river shrimps were considered poisonous by them.

Leave the good river shrimps uneaten and save them for the fish as lunch.

What a waste!

"Xiao Man, don't be like this. You can eat rabbit meat if you want. Why eat worms?" Li Taohua walked up to Lin Xiao Man and took his hand: "Ask your brother to roast it for you, and you four little kids can eat it."

"Dad, Mom, the long-bearded worm is really edible!" Lin Xiaoman tried his best to explain.

River shrimps are high-protein foods, which are exactly what the Lin family lacks.

It should be said that Shanglin Village and even the entire town and the entire county are short of it.

"If you can't finish eating the long-bearded worms, you can dry them. When there are no vegetables in winter, you can cook them in soup. They taste very delicious."

Lin Jingzhe saw that Lin Xiaoman spoke with such confidence, as if he had experienced it before.

Is it possible?

Have you experienced this before in some disaster or other?

She made my mouth water.

He looked at his parents and said hesitantly, "Why don't we listen to Xiaoman? Didn't you say she is Little Lucky Star? Little Lucky Star said let's give it a try, so let's give it a try."

Li Erli: "Why don't we catch them and boil them, and use the boiled water to feed my chickens."

"No, no, no!" Lin Dajiang was shocked.

Don’t let yourself be kicked out by Old Lady Li just after you rent a house.

"Chickens and ducks are the precious eggs of the family. It's impossible not to do it."

This won't work, that won't work, Lin Xiaoman became anxious.

Lin Xiaoman pretended to cooperate even though she knew it wasn't poisonous. "Why don't I test the poison on myself?"

Lin Dajiang refused outright: "No, don't we have more than a dozen rabbits at home? Catch one and feed it to the long-bearded worm soup. If the rabbit survives overnight, let's give it a try?"

In the evening, Lin Dajiang took Lin Jingzhe, Lin Xiaoman, and Li Erli from next door to avoid the crowd and go to the river to catch shrimps.

April and May are the shrimp breeding seasons. According to Lin Xiaoman’s time, the shrimps in the river in July and August were basically caught out.

But no one eats them in this area, and there are shrimps in the river in large groups.

Before long, he had caught half a basket.

Lin Jingzhe and Li Erli were quick on their feet, so they ran home and kept the long-bearded worm in the only bucket in the house.

Lin Jingzhe asked Lin Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, how do you cook a long-bearded worm?"

I want garlic but there is none.

I wanted chili but there was none.

I don't have any fans.

What else can I do? Steam the river shrimp.

"Steamed."

Lin Jingzhe's jaw dropped in shock. "Long-bearded worms count as meat, right? Xiaoman? Will meat taste good if steamed?"

Lin Xiaoman was too lazy to explain. He just smiled and started working without saying anything.

She fished out a bowl of river shrimp, cleaned them, looked at Lin Jingzhe, and said with a smile: "Brother, light the fire."

"okay!"

The twins cooperated for a while, and Lin Xiaoman asked Li Erli for some wild onions, and cut two thin slices of Li Taohua's beloved ginger and put them on the shrimps.

Steam it in water for half a quarter of an hour.

Lin Xiaoman opened the lid of the pot and a burst of delicious fragrance filled her nose.

Five pairs of eyes stared at the long-bearded worm in the pot. Lin Guyu had already asked Li Taohua to pick it up and look at it. She opened her eyes wide and said, "What a nice smell!"

However, no matter how fragrant it is, no one dares to joke with their life.

Lin Xiaoman poured out the water in the shrimp bowl and put it aside to cool down.

Xiao Guyu pouted and looked at it, "When can I eat it?"

"Little greedy guy."

Lin Jingzhe was talking about Xiaoguyu, but in fact he had booked a table and was anxiously waiting for the water to cool down.

He also wanted to know if this long-bearded insect was really non-toxic.

The originally grey long-bearded worm turned red after being cooked.

Lin Jingzhe was amazed in his heart. If he were to call it a long-bearded insect, it should be called a chameleon.

Li Taohua swallowed her saliva. She was afraid that the kids would steal some when the adults weren't paying attention, so she took the cooked long-bearded worms to the cupboard and locked them up.

Lin Xiaoman was stunned.

When did A Niang buy the lock?

Why should I learn from anyone else, Auntie, why should I learn from Old Lady Lin?

Li Taohua glared at Lin Xiaoman: "Why are you looking at me like that? It's not too late to eat it after you've tested it and found it's not poisonous."

"Haha, okay, then I'll go catch some more." After saying that, Lin Xiaoman pulled Lin Jingzhe and ran away.

Li Taohua chased after him for a few steps: "You little kid, you are so hasty in doing things, and you don't even know if you are poisonous or not?"

Lin Dajiang chuckled, eager to try: "I'll go look after Xiaoman."

—

Lin Xiaoman and his friends found a narrow river bend and started catching shrimps enthusiastically.

Old Mrs. Lin from the Lin family was shouting at the top of her lungs again.

"You spendthrift woman, you didn't know how to sell the eggs you got in town, you just ate them every day. When the money from the family share is gone, what will you eat?"

"You only care about eating by yourself, and don't even think about giving a bowl to your parents. It seems like all my sons were born in vain!"

Lin Dahai was sweeping the floor with his head down, and Wang Chunxiu gave him a look of disappointment.

He only knows how to work and doesn't know how to help his wife.

How could she find such a man? He is like a taciturn person every day. He can't even say a word when he is angry. When he is mad, he just works without eating, starving himself to death and making others happy.

Wang Chunxiu didn't want to argue with Old Lady Lin, and didn't care about Lin Dahai. She quickly walked into the house and slammed the door.

"mother."

Lin Xiaoxue has been having the same dream recently. In her dream, she has a jade pendant that is as smooth as jade.

The owner of the jade pendant was found. He was a thin and polite man, who seemed to be about the same age as my eldest brother in the dream.

In a daze, she watched as her family built a large brick and tile house, and their lives became more and more prosperous...

When I woke up, I felt empty in my heart, as if I had lost something important.

I had the same dream for several days in a row, and every time I woke up I felt weak.

Even during the two days of separation, I didn't have the energy to get more property for the family.

"Xiaoxue, are you still dizzy?"

Lin Xiaoxue's yellow face was pale as she forced herself to stand up. "It's much better than the past few days."

"This is the brown sugar we got when the family was divided. Mom will make some for you. Drink it to give you strength." Wang Chunxiu felt a pang of pain when she touched the empty brown sugar jar. She made up her mind and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of brown sugar.

Wang Chunxiu was so angry when she was seen by the sharp-eyed old lady Lin!

Why isn't she so lucky?

The eldest brother's family was lucky enough to rent a house, and the third brother, thanks to his wife, went to his father-in-law's house in town. But her family was so taciturn that they seemed to have their mouths sawed off, and they didn't even bother to go out and look for an empty house.

As a result, she had to live under the same roof with her mother-in-law.

"You have to soak the boiled eggs in brown sugar water. How much money do you have at home to spend? Second brother, take care of your spendthrift wife. Don't come back to your parents if you squander all the money~"

Lin Gui put his hands behind his back and glanced at his second son who looked like a dove, then said to Old Lady Lin: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Now that the family is divided, you should worry less."
