“Sister Ran, this wooden bucket and water already weigh a catty. Just give us ten copper coins!” Little Huzi explained.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled and still stuffed the twelve copper coins into Little Huzi’s hand.

“Take this money. Take the extra two copper coins as compensation for your hard work! But next time, there won’t be any compensation! ”

When Little Huzi and Huang Yong heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they nodded and took the money.

“Sister Ran, do you still want to add water and wash it? Why don’t Huang Yong and I help you wash it?! Don’t worry, we guarantee that we can wash it clean!” Li Xiaoran looked at Little Huzi and Huang Yong, then nodded.

Li Xiaoran looked at Little Huzi and Huang Yong, then nodded.

“Alright, as long as you can wash these snails clean, I’ll bring you to Grandma

Jin’s house to eat a bowl of delicious food today!”

As she spoke, Li Xiaoran pointed at Old Madam Jin, who was watching from the side.

“That’s right! Sister Ran wants you guys to eat a bowl of delicious food. I will treat you guys to snacks, okay?” Old Madam Jin said happily.

Old people didn’t like to be alone, but liked to be surrounded by many children.

Now that Li Xiaoran actually wanted to bring the children to her house to play, Old Madam Jin was naturally very happy.O

With the children around, her house would be livelier.

Besides, the two children were very sensible and understanding, so it was fine to entertain them.

“Sister Ran, I’ll help wash them too. I want to eat delicious food too!” Changsheng couldn’t sit still anymore and quickly rushed over.

Li Xiaoran saw Changsheng’s yearning gaze and smiled.

“You haven’t recovered yet. If you catch a cold now, the gains won’t make up for the losses. So you should go practice writing! Study hard. If you write all the words correctly, I’ll bring you to Grandma Jin’s house too!”

When Changsheng heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded, then he obediently went to practice writing.

Little Huzi learned about Changsheng from Little Qing, so he took good care of this boy who was a few years younger than him,

“That’s right! Take good care of your body. When you recover, I’ll bring you to fish and crabs in the future!” Little Huzi added.

Changsheng nodded.

“Sure! Thank you, Brother!”

Little Huzi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to thank him. Next, Little Huzi and Huang Yong carried the snails to the place where they came out of the water to wash them.

Old Madam Jin was curious and went out with the two children.

When Huang Yong saw that Old Madam Jin had followed him, he quickly ran back and brought a stool for her.

‘Grandma Jin, just sit here and watch us wash them!”

Grandma Jin naturally wouldn’t refuse the children’s kind request. She accepted it with a smile.

When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she smiled and went to prepare the ingredients and dishes for the snail noodles.

The reason Li Xiaoran asked Old Madam Jin to stay previously was because she sensed the loneliness in Old Madam Jin’s heart.

Old people liked to have children and grandchildren around.

But now that her children and grandchildren were no longer reliable and lived so far away, it was lonely for her to live here alone.

Previously, the reason Li Xiaoran suggested that Old Madam Jin build a house here was because she wanted Old Madam Jin to come to the shop whenever she felt lonely.

After all, there were many people coming and going in the shop.

Perhaps Old Madam Jin wouldn’t be so lonely if she stayed here.

As it turned out, Li Xiaoran’s arrangement was right.

As Old Madam Jin stayed here in the shop while talking to the children, she became much happier.

After the snails were washed and the other ingredients were ready, it was almost time for lunch.

Li Xiaoran placed the things she had prepared in the food box. She planned to bring Little Huzi and the others to Old Madam Jin’s house.

“Mom, I’m going to Grandma Jin’s place to make stinky food for her at noon, so I won’t be eating in the shop. Cook some food for yourself when it’s time for dinner later! Changsheng and I are going, as well as Little Huzi and Huang Yong. Xiao Qing, do you want to come with us?”

Li Xiaoaing was a sensible child- She knew that noon might he the busiest time for the shop, so she shook her head.

“Sister, go! I can do more if I stay here. You will definitely cook more smelly food at home in the future, so it doesn’t matter!”

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran didn’t force her.

Just as Li Xiaoran had said, there were more pickled bamboo shoots at home. Little Huzi and the others would also send a lot of snails over in the future.

There would be plenty of opportunities to make snail noodles for everyone later, so there was no hurry.

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you guys with the shop!” Li Xiaoran said, then went to look for Old Madam Jin and the others.

The five of them walked towards the house not far away from the shop. When they pa.s.sed by Little Huzi’s stall, Li Xiaoran told Little Huzi’s parents.

At the same time, Li Xiaoran also asked Little Huzi’s parents to tell Huang Yong’s family that Huang Yong wouldn’t go back for lunch!

Little Huzi’s parents naturally agreed because their mashed sweet potatos were sold out in the morning. They still had to go back and replenish some ingredients.

She could use this opportunity to go back and tell Huang Yong’s family about this.

After this matter was resolved, Li Xiaoran brought the children to Old Madam Jin’s house.

After they washed the snails, they were placed in the courtyard at the back and boiled for a few hours. At this moment, Li Xiaoran brought them straight to the Jin family’s house.

After taking out the side dishes and rice noodles in the food box, Li Xiaoran began to cook.

It had to be said that at first, the smell in the pot was normal. After the pickled bamboo shoots were added, the air was filled with a stench.

Little Huzi and Huang Yong covered their noses and said with disdain, “Sister Ran, is what you made poisonous?! Why is it so smelly?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“What did you say?! Snail noodles smell bad but taste good, just like stinky tofu!”

Little Huzi and Huang Yong were still very suspicious. Only Changsheng didn’t seem to mind this stench at all.

To Changsheng, it didn’t matter if the food tasted good or not. As long as it could be eaten, it was fine.

When Old Madam Jin smelled this stench, she looked forward to tasting it.

It seemed that she would finally be able to eat delicious food today.

Soon, the snail noodles in the pot were ready.

After putting on the condiments they had concocted previously, the five of them sat around the table and placed a bowl of snail noodles in front of each of them.

Although it didn’t smell good, everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate it.

Little Huzi and Huang Yong, who had been very disdainful previously, also took a bite…
