"Why is it so salty?! Do you want to choke us to death? Or did you mistake salt for sugar?" Ji Lin took a few mouthfuls of rice. He had never seen anyone cook vegetables saltier than pickles.

Zhuzhu was puzzled, "I didn't put too much." She was very disgusted, "You are just too picky!"

She picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth, then started coughing violently.

Zhang Xiuhua patted her on the back, "What's wrong? Did you choke?"

Jilin rolled his eyes, "Salty!"

Seeing Zhuzhu swallowing the food, Jilin gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are a ruthless person. I admire you! I admire you!"

Zhang Xiuhua listened to him talking so weirdly, so she also picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in her mouth. Then her whole face wrinkled like a bitter gourd. This...

Zhuzhu scratched her head, "Is the new salt I bought so salty?"

Zhang Xiuhua twitched her lips, "It's not that the new salt you bought is salty, it's that you didn't grind the coarse salt into fine salt?!"

People who cook often just pour the salt bag into the pot, and few people use a spoon to scoop it. I guess Zhuzhu poured the usual amount, but forgot that the new salt is large-grained salt, which needs to be crushed into fine salt before it can be eaten! However, Zhang Xiuhua found that the quality of salt in this era is not very good, so every time the salt is used up, she will take fine salt from the space. Then sell the salt ticket to others.

It was the first time that Zhuzhu knew that coarse salt should be pounded into fine salt. She had never seen her mother pound it before.

Zhang Xiuhua said confidently, "When I chased you away, you were at school and not at home."

Zhuzhu didn't bother with the details. She just poured boiled water into the vegetables and rinsed them. She winked mischievously and said, "Just treat it as boiled water vegetables?"

This child can recover her mood in the blink of an eye. Zhang Xiuhua can't help but admire her optimism. "Do you want to be the head of the family next time?"

Zhuzhu nodded frantically, "Of course! Mom, can you help me sew a pocket on the inside of my shirt? This way it will be difficult for others to steal my money!"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay! I'll sew one for you."

She glanced at the hole on Zhuzhu's schoolbag and said, "This guy is obviously a repeat offender. He cut a hole in the bottom of the schoolbag and stole everything he did."

Zhuzhu didn't understand, "Mom, why are there thieves in this world? Don't they have any sense of shame?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "Some thieves are indeed bad people who like to get something for nothing. If you encounter such a person in the future, stay away from him."

Zhuzhu nodded and said yes.

After the family of three finished lunch, Zhuzhu was responsible for washing the dishes.

After washing the dishes, she had to feed the small animals at home. It was spring, and in order to save feeding costs, she had to go to the fields to cut fresh grass to feed them.

Even though there are only seven small animals, they eat much more than chickens. All the grass cut earlier has been used up.

She had no choice but to go down and cut grass. She cut three baskets of grass in a row before she could barely feed them.

After all this time, it was already dark. I started preparing dinner.

Jilin made breakfast and it was her turn to make dinner.

She washed the vegetables, rinsed the rice, asked Jilin to come in and light the fire, and made stir-fried vegetables and cucumbers.

This time she cleaned the coarse salt beforehand, so she didn't put too much salt in the dish. It was still edible.

After dinner, she had to wash the dishes and clean the house before she had time to do her homework.

At that time, most of the homework in primary school was copying, and in order to make students remember the new words, the teacher asked them to write them a hundred times. Zhuzhu's chubby hands wrote quickly, but there was so much homework and she had so little time.

It was nine o'clock, bedtime, and she had only finished one-third of her homework.

Zhang Xiuhua signaled the two children to wash up and go to bed, "Don't sleep too late. Otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning!"

Zhuzhu had no choice but to put down her pen.

Zhang Xiuhua gave her one yuan and said, "Originally your salary was two yuan, but because you lost the money, Jilin and I didn't get to eat meat, so 80 cents was deducted. Also, we didn't eat on time, but since we weren't late, only 20 cents was deducted. In total, half of your salary was deducted. This is your hard work fee."

Zhuzhu pursed her lips. Although it was only half done, she was still very happy.

Ji Lin looked at it with envy, "Mom, under what circumstances will my salary be deducted?"

"We are too late to eat on time. Originally, we had three meals a day, but you reduced it to two. If we miss one meal, you will deduct money. Also, if the animals at home are not fed, you will also deduct money. Oh, and the house must be cleaned. I haven't thought of other situations yet." Zhang Xiuhua asked them, "Do you have any objection to my deducting money like this?"

Jilin and Zhuzhu shook their heads frantically, the head of the family couldn't even eat on time, which was certainly incompetent.

Zhuzhu held the money tightly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will do my best next time. I will never deduct your salary."

Zhang Xiuhua had already helped her tie up her schoolbag and shirt pockets. "Okay! Mom will see how you perform."

She went to wash up, and Jilin asked Zhuzhu, "How do you feel? Are you tired?"

Zhuzhu thought about it and said honestly, "It is indeed very tiring. But when I see that there is money to be made, it is worth it no matter how hard it is."

If she hadn't lost the money and hadn't delayed cooking, she would have had two dollars. Two dollars a day, four dollars for two days, twenty dollars for ten days, and two hundred dollars for a hundred days. She would have become a rich woman!

She was so happy that she almost fainted. Make money! Must make money!

After hearing what she said, Jilin packed up his homework and prepared to wash up and go to bed.

While washing his feet, he did not forget to remind Zhuzhu to get up early to make breakfast the next day.

Zhuzhu sighed, the days of staying up late are gone forever!

She suddenly thought of something, "Brother Jilin, you have to come and call me, otherwise if I make breakfast late, you will have to deduct your salary."

Zhang Xiuhua held back her laughter, "Jilin, you actually want to wake Zhuzhu up, how come you two are so confused?!"

Ji Lin was speechless after being tricked by Zhu Zhu. He wanted to get up late on Sunday, but after being tricked by her, how could he still sleep in? But he couldn't not call her, because if she was late, his salary would be deducted.

He thought this was not a good idea, "Starting next week, the head of the household will get up early and make breakfast."

Zhuzhu agreed decisively, "Okay! I have no objection."

After they fixed the bug, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, when Zhuzhu was sleeping soundly in bed, someone knocked on the door outside and Jilin's voice came, "Zhuzhu, hurry up and get up and cook!"

Zhuzhu was dreaming that she had two hundred yuan in her arms and was very happy, but her dream was suddenly interrupted. She rubbed her eyes, resigned herself to her fate, got dressed and got out of bed, "Mom! I'm so tired?!"

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "You don't have to be in charge today. Just make breakfast and you'll have less trouble."

Zhuzhu thought about it and it made sense. She only had to be responsible for lighting the fire today.

She got dressed, made breakfast, and put the food on the table before she started washing her face and brushing her teeth.

Ji Lin and Zhang Xiuhua also woke up at this time.

"Yes! Nine o'clock, a very good time. Not late." Zhang Xiuhua nodded with satisfaction, "Jilin, it depends on your performance from now on."

Jilin finished washing up and was about to sit down when Zhuzhu reminded him, "You haven't started feeding the animals yet."

In the morning, the animals eat feed. This feed is already prepared and they don't need to mix it. But it must be steamed.

After steaming, it has been half an hour.

Ji Lin glanced at the time. If he worked after ten o'clock, his salary would be deducted, so the time was just right.
