After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

After returning home, Bai Jing greeted everyone, then picked up a hoe, sickle and bamboo basket and went to the shrimp farm. Now there are more crayfish being raised at home, and Bai Jing has to inspect the shrimp farm several times almost every day. He also has to pick aquatic plants for the crayfish, feed them food, etc. There is still a lot to do in a day.

Li Xiaoxiao thought that she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she prepared to go up the mountain to pick up some firewood and see if the bamboo shoots in the mountains had grown. If they had, she could start drying the bamboo shoots again.

After arriving at the shrimp farm, Bai Jing began his daily work. He expertly used a hoe to clear the weeds from the paddock, then tossed some fresh aquatic plants into the water. Watching the crayfish happily feasting on their food, Bai Jing felt a sense of accomplishment.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Dong, armed with machetes and backpacks, entered the forest. They carefully searched for firewood, while Li Xiaoxiao also observed the surrounding bamboo shoots. Suddenly, she spotted a few newly emerged shoots, and with a burst of delight, she hurried over and carefully pulled them out.

"Uncle, look, we have bamboo shoots to eat!" Li Xiaoxiao waved the bamboo shoots she had just picked at Bai Dong.

"Xiaoxiao, are these bamboo shoots delicious? People over there don't like to eat them. They don't taste very good." Bai Dong said with a frown.

"Uncle, don't worry. Last year, our family made a lot of money from bamboo shoots. This thing tastes really good. I'll make it for you and your uncle when I get home and you'll know!"

Hearing that Li Xiaoxiao made a lot of money from bamboo shoots last year, Bai Dong no longer doubted it and went over to help Li Xiaoxiao pick them. When they saw that they were almost done, the two of them went home with firewood on their backs and a bundle of fresh bamboo shoots in their hands.

After arriving home, Li Xiaoxiao shouted to Bai, "Mom, come out quickly!"

Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's voice, Mrs. Bai thought something had happened and hurried out of the kitchen. "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

"Mom, look, the bamboo shoots on the mountain are starting to sprout, and we can dry them again!" said Li Xiaoxiao.

"Really? That's great!" Bai looked at the bundle of plump white bamboo shoots on the ground and felt very happy thinking that she could start drying bamboo shoots to make money again.

"Mom, I think we can't just focus on making money. How about this? We mobilize the villagers to go to the mountains to pick bamboo shoots. We will then buy the fresh bamboo shoots at two cents per pound. What do you think?"

"Mom thinks it's okay. This way the villagers can also earn more."

"Okay, Mom, go to the village early tomorrow morning and tell everyone about our purchase of fresh bamboo shoots and meat."

"Oh, mom got it. You remove the skin of the bamboo shoots first, and I'll cook!" With that, Bai went into the kitchen to continue working.

Li Fang and Li Linlin helped Li Xiaoxiao remove the bamboo shoot skins, while Bai Dong and Bai Jing piled the firewood they brought back today in a corner.

After removing the bamboo shoot skins, Li Xiaoxiao took the bamboo shoots to the well to wash them, and then went into the kitchen to blanch them.

After blanching, soak the bamboo shoots in cold water for a while. When Bai had almost finished stir-frying the other dishes, Li Xiaoxiao directly picked up the bamboo shoots and sliced them, added hot oil to the pan and stir-fried the bamboo shoots. Then, added onions, garlic, etc. and stir-fried them together. Then, put in water and simmered for a while. A plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots was ready.

The family sat around the dinner table, enjoying the delicious stir-fried bamboo shoots.

"Well, these bamboo shoots are really delicious!" Bai Jing praised them highly.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao is really good at cooking!" Bai Dong also praised with a smile.

"Of course, don't you see who I am?" Li Xiaoxiao smiled proudly.

The next morning, Bai went door to door to inform the villagers about the purchase of fresh bamboo shoots and meat. The villagers responded one after another and expressed their willingness to go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots.

As a result, a bamboo shoot digging craze swept the village. Everyone went up the mountain to find fresh bamboo shoots, peeled them, and brought them to Li Xiaoxiao's home.

When Su was out for a walk, she heard about Li Xiaoxiao buying fresh bamboo shoots. After returning home, she quickly asked Li Fang and Li Lin to take their family to the mountains to pick bamboo shoots. "Mom, even if we are willing to go pick bamboo shoots, do you think Li Xiaoxiao will buy our bamboo shoots?" Li Lin expressed her doubts.

"Hmph, I think you just want to be lazy! Go and pull it back, I have my own way to make her put it back!" Su said with a pair of triangular eyes.

Seeing that Su said this, Li Lin didn't dare to say anything more. She picked up the basket and followed Li Fang and a group of people to the place where there were bamboo shoots on the mountain.

After picking bamboo shoots for a whole morning, Li Fang, Li Lin and others came back with a large basket of bamboo shoots.

When Su saw this, she immediately beamed with joy and told them to quickly remove the bamboo shoots. "Be careful when you remove the bamboo shoots, don't destroy the flesh, or you'll waste the money you earned!"

Li Fang and Li Lin did not dare to refute. They did not bother to make lunch and squatted in the yard to remove the skins of all the bamboo shoots.

By the time I finished all this, half an hour had passed.

"Mom, please go and cook quickly. My stomach is growling with hunger!" Li Dachun said aggrievedly while touching his stomach, holding a freshly peeled bamboo shoot in his hand.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Can't you see your mother is busy?" Li Lin cursed.

Seeing Li Lin's angry look, Li Dachun didn't dare to yell anymore.

Seeing that all the bamboo shoots and meat were ready, Su weighed them with her hand and found that they weighed about twenty pounds. She picked up the basket of bamboo shoots and meat and went out without paying any attention to Li Fang and Li Lin and the others beside her.

She took the bamboo shoots directly to her good sister Li Pozi's house and asked her to help sell them to Li Xiaoxiao's house. It can be seen that Su was still worried that Li Xiaoxiao would not accept their bamboo shoots.

Of course, Mrs. Li would help her good sister. She took the bamboo shoots and meat she had just prepared and took them to Li Xiaoxiao's house together with Su's.

After a while, Mrs. Li came back with a bag of copper coins.

Mrs. Li counted out forty-two coins and gave them to Su. Su took the coins and counted them. Seeing that there was nothing missing, she happily put the silver away, took the bamboo basket and went home.

After returning home, Su put down the bamboo basket and went into her room. It was obvious that she was going to hide the copper coins.

Li Fang and Li Lin, who were still busy making lunch in the kitchen, saw Su rushing to her room after returning home, showing no intention of sharing the silver with them. The two looked at each other, and Li Lin lost her temper and said, "Sister-in-law, are you willing to let mother take our silver like this?"

"What else can I do if I'm unwilling? Do you want me to go and argue with our mother? Sister-in-law, you know our mother's temper. If I go and argue with her, she will definitely kick me out!" Li Fang said helplessly.

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. Look, our family has been divided. It doesn't make sense to let mother take all the money we earned alone." Li Lin became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She decided to wait until evening to have a good talk with Li Ren and let Li Ren talk to Su.

In the evening, when Li Ren returned home from farm work, Li Lin told him about this. "Master, you have to talk to our mother, or I won't do this!"

After hearing this, Li Ren was silent for a moment and said, "I will tell my mother about this."

After dinner, Li Ren came to Su's room.

Su was sitting on the kang, counting the copper coins she had earned during the day, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Li Ren looked at Su and said softly, "Mom, it's not good for you not to share the money from selling bamboo shoots with us today. After all, we have already separated."

Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why should I give it to you? Even if we split up, I still have the final say in this family!"

Li Ren exhaled, "Mom, aren't you afraid that this will chill our hearts? If we can't even take the money we earn, who will be willing to work for us?"

After hearing what Li Ren said, Su stood up from the kang reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'll divide the money tomorrow morning."

The next morning after breakfast, Su called Li Fang and Li Lin to her room and reluctantly took out thirty coins from the money she had earned from selling bamboo shoots the day before and divided them between them. Although the share was not much, the two felt somewhat relieved.

In order to be fair, Li Fang and Li Lin also agreed that in the future, when they went up the mountain to find their grandson, each family would send two or one person, so that it would be fair when the money was divided equally.
