The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 118 Repair

"I've been busy for the past few days, so I only have time to come to my second aunt's house now." Han Qianluo pretended to say, "The day after tomorrow, my brother and I will squeeze oil again, second aunt, you should also come over, it's actually very simple, just look at it gone."

"Okay, I'll come back when the time comes." Mrs. Wang replied hastily.

After the matter was finished, Han Qianluo went back. She still had many other things to do, so she didn't delay too long. When she got home, there was no one in the house, and everyone was busy.

After returning home, Han Qianluo prepared to soak the straw and hemp and go to the mountain to peel off the bark. Only then did he find that there was no hemp in the house, and it seemed that he needed to buy hemp.

I was thinking about where to go to buy it, but I saw my eldest brother Han Qingquan came back, not alone, but pulling a mule cart, which was full of hemp.

"Brother, where did you come from?" Han Qianluo asked happily, and hurried over to help unload the hemp and put it in the yard.

Han Qingquan also quickly unloaded the hemp: "I went to the next door to buy it, and there was no hemp in the house a long time ago."

"How much is a catty?" Han Qianluo was more concerned about this question.

"Five cents a catty."

"So expensive?" Han Qianluo was a little surprised, she thought three pennies would be enough.

"It's cheaper when it's just harvested. At this time, many people are gone, so it's naturally more expensive."

After unloading the hemp, Han Qianluo tied the mule cart aside. Han Qianluo was a little strange: "Brother, where did this mule cart come from? Did you buy it or borrow it?"

"I bought it, and it's not good to always borrow someone else's. Xiao Luo, how much do you need to soak?" Han Qingquan asked.

Han Qianluo thought for a while: "Soak them all, and make more, in case someone comes to buy a lot in the future." After soaking the hemp, he soaked the straw, and then went up the mountain with his elder brother with the knife on his back and a basket.

When I came to the mountain closest to my home, besides the old trees before, there were also many young trees that had just been planted on the mountain. These were all newly planted by Han Qianluo after cutting down the trees, but they had no plans today. To cut a tree, cut off some branches on the tree, and not all of them, just cut off some of the branches that are too dense.

The lower branches are still relatively easy to cut down, but most of the trees on these mountains are relatively tall, so the slightly higher places must be climbed up. Of course, this is not Han Qianluo's business, but Han Qingquan is responsible for climbing up, while she found another tree to continue.

Han Qianluo saw a mulberry tree in a blink of an eye. This is a tree she likes more. The paper made from the bark of the mulberry tree is very good, and it grows fast and reproduces quickly. The leaves can also be used to feed pigs. The roots and seeds are used medicinally, and the sap is used to treat skin diseases.

In short, the mulberry tree is a tree with high economic value, so all the trees planted by Han Qianhou are mulberry trees. In fact, she really wants to build a mountain now, but she has not had time to implement it. Wait a few days for a while Do this after you are busy.

After a busy day, Han Qianluo and his eldest brother returned home, piled all the branches they had cut back in the yard, and then went to work for dinner.While cooking, Han Qianluo suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Liu Linchu all day.

Just thinking about it, I saw Liu Linchu came back with a roll of paper in his hand.During dinner, Liu Linchu handed the roll of paper to Han Qianluo: "Xiao Luo, you've finished with that paper, you can post it in the shop later."

Han Qianluo took the paper and opened it. How should I put it, it was issued by the government, with Han Qianluo's name written on it, as well as the things he invented, and finally stamped with the government's seal, which is a kind of proof. s things.

"Thank you Lin Chu." Han Qianluo said happily, carefully placed the piece of paper on another table, pressed it with a cup, and continued to eat.

After a few mouthfuls of food, Han Qianluo remembered that there was still a house, so he raised his head and asked, "Brother, have you found a place to repair the house?"

"I've found the place. In two days, I'll go to Lizheng to get the paperwork for repairing the house, and then I'll go buy the materials." After Han Qianluo finished speaking, he continued to bow his head to eat.

Han Qianluo was a little worried that it would be too late, so he thought for a while and said, "Brother, we still have to open, you go to the house, and I will make paper at home."

"I think it's better for Qingquan to make paper at home. Xiaoluo, you can go to the house. Making paper is a physical job. Your physical strength is definitely not as good as Qingquan." Liu Linchu suggested.

Han Qianluo felt that this was not bad, so he turned his head and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Okay, that's it." Han Qingquan said, "I've already figured out the location of the house, it's on the open space next to the main road outside."

Han Qianluo didn't remember where it was all at once, and after thinking for a while, he vaguely realized which place he was talking about. The road in front of Han's house was a small road, and walking to the right for a while would lead to a wide road, with many roads on both sides of the road. The wide open space is uncultivated and now overgrown with weeds.

It is said that some people wanted to plant that piece of land before, but after a season of planting, the harvest was very poor, and even the seeds were not recovered. After that, no one planted it, and it has been barren until now.

In fact, that piece of land is really very wide, the size of several football fields. Han Qianluo is not sure how many there are, but it is a very wide piece of land anyway.

"I see, I will do it tomorrow." Han Qianluo said, "By the way, I went to tell my second aunt today, and I said that we will squeeze oil the day after tomorrow, so let her come over."

Early the next morning, Han Qianluo had just finished breakfast and was about to go out, when he saw his cousin walking over, he was very surprised: "Cousin, why are you here so early?" Baodian, coming to my home for no reason is really suspicious.

"There's nothing to do, so I came here to see if you need any help?" Cousin Han Pinghe said.

Now that he said that, Han Qianluo would naturally not be so polite, and said directly: "That's really a lot of thanks to my cousin, but I'm really busy. In a few months, my eldest brother will get married. It’s broken and narrow, so my elder brother and I plan to rebuild a house, but we haven’t had time to get back the low-grade stones.”

"It's simple. Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so just leave it to me." Han Pinghe said.

Han Qingquan also came out of the room when he heard the voice, and said with a smile, "Why is Pinghe here?"

"Second cousin said he came to help us." Han Qianluo replied hastily.

Han Pinghe didn't show anger or unwillingness, and still had the previous expression: "I heard from Qianluo that you haven't got back the stones for the foundation, so I'll go."

Han Qingquan was not polite either, and said directly: "Then I will trouble you, do you have any tools?" Han Qianluo ignored what they said afterwards, opened the door and went out, heading straight to Lizheng's house.

When they arrived at Lizheng's house, there were only Zhao Qin, mother and daughter, and Han Qianluo walked to the gate of the yard and called, "Aunt Zhao."

"It's Qianluo, come in quickly." Mrs. Zhao said enthusiastically, and hurriedly called her in, "Is there something for Qianluo to come over?"

Han Qianluo sat carefully on the mat, nodded and said, "Yes, we want to repair the house, so we came to find Uncle Lizheng."

"Xiaoqin, hurry up and call your father back." Mrs. Zhao turned to her daughter and said.

Zhao Qin stood up and went out, and called Li Zheng back after a while, and Li Zheng finished the matter very quickly.

Han Qianluo returned home and carefully put the bamboo slip away. It was used to exchange the deed after the house was repaired, and it would be troublesome if it was lost.

It was still early at this time, Han Qianluo hesitated, and finally decided to go to the city to buy the wood and bricks, so he took the money and went out.

After being busy for a while, the construction of the house finally started. The first thing to be built was the living yard, which was built according to the ordinary yard now. Those people are very familiar with how to repair it, so the speed is relatively fast.

Han Qianluo was helping to boil water nearby, when he heard a familiar voice, it was Mrs Zhou: "Qianluo, it's only been a few days, your house has already been built so much, and it will be repaired in two days. .”

"It will be almost there in a few days." Han Qianluo said casually, "Aunt Zhou, where are you going?"

"Go to the mountain to have a look." Zhou said, then suddenly looked left and right cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Qianluo, come here, I have something to tell you."

Han Qianluo didn't know why, but she still walked over, and saw Zhou looked around once, and then said in a voice that only she could hear: "Qianluo, you have to be careful recently, especially Wei Zhen They are a family."

"Aunt Zhou, what happened?" Han Qianluo asked puzzled.

Mrs. Zhou didn't answer, but just said: "Anyway, you just need to be careful, I have other things to do, so I'm leaving first." After speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving behind Han Qianluo who was full of doubts.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Qianluo stopped wasting time thinking about it, and continued to boil water, helping out occasionally. After a few days, Han Qianluo and his house were basically repaired. Basically, because there are no doors, no windows, etc., and only the frame has been repaired.

With the repair of the living yard, Han Qianluo decided to finish the other yard used as a workshop in one go, but that yard could not be repaired according to the architectural style at this time, and she had already drawn the picture.

The person in charge of repairing the house was a middle-aged man named Wang Dagui, so Han Qianluo handed him the blueprints he had drawn.Wang Dagui took the drawing and sighed: "This kind of paper sounds convenient, convenient and cheap." He opened it and looked at it carefully.

"Why can't I understand?" Wang Dagui said, scratching his neck with his hands, with a puzzled expression on his face.
