The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 128 The Third Uncle

There is another very important thing before planting a tree, which is the tree species, so Han Qianluo is now going to find the tree species.

But where to look for tree seeds, Han Qianluo can only think of one way, that is to go to the mountains to find them. After all, she has never seen such ordinary tree seeds in the market, only hawkers who sell crop seeds.

Han Qianluo walked around the mountain twice and searched for the seeds of the mulberry tree for a while. Most of the seeds of the mulberry tree had fallen to the ground, but because there were fallen leaves on the ground, these seeds were mixed with these fallen leaves. It's hard to find.

However, she had another discovery. It turned out that on the mountain, under the tall trees, there were many saplings that had just grown.However, if there is no accident, these newly grown saplings will not grow up at all under the cover of those grown trees, and will die soon.

Therefore, Han Qianluo was not in a hurry to find seeds, but went back to get an axe. When he got to the door of his house, he saw Pan Song coming out of the next yard, so he said to him: "Pan Song, take a sickle and come with me. go out."

"Okay." Pan Song replied, found a sickle and went out with Han Qianluo without asking what he was doing.

Soon Han Qianluo took him to the foot of the mountain and asked him to find the seeds of the mulberry tree or cut off the weeds next to the mulberry saplings.

The afternoon passed quickly, and when Han Qianluo returned home in the evening, he was already exhausted. He kept rubbing his wrists, and was spotted by Han Qingquan who had just returned.

"Xiao Luo, what's the matter?" Han Qingquan asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I went to chop trees this afternoon, and it will be fine in a while." Han Qianluo didn't care, and said casually.

Han Qingquan thought for a while and said, "How about asking a few people to help you tomorrow?"

"No need." Han Qianluo shook his head and refused, "Anyway, it won't grow well if the tree is planted at this time, so don't delay the matter here."

But Han Qingquan insisted: "I think it's better to ask a few people to help you tomorrow. It's only March, so it's okay if you hurry up."

"Alright then." Han Qianluo didn't insist.

During dinner at night, Xu Gui suddenly said: "Miss, today a shopkeeper from out of town came to discuss business with you."

"Tomorrow morning?" Han Qianluo asked.

"Correct."

Han Qianluo frowned, remembering that Peng Ning would come over tomorrow morning and plant the tree quickly, he suddenly felt that there was not enough time, but he had to go to discuss business.

When Han Qianluo came back from the city the next morning, he happened to see his elder brother Han Qingquan weighing his third uncle, and at the same time heard the little uncle say: "Qingquan, you see we are all relatives, look at this Should the price go up a bit?"

"Third Uncle, haven't I asked Second Aunt to tell you?" Han Qingquan asked back.

The third uncle said a little rascally: "Look at your family, who doesn't know that your family is rich now, look at your big yard, and you have invited so many people. You have developed, and you have to help us poor people." Relatives."

"Third Uncle, if you think our price is too low, you can sell it somewhere higher than this price." Han Qianluo walked into the yard, and the Paladin said loudly.

She was a little angry in her heart, how could this so-called third uncle be such a person, she and her eldest brother had already given him such a good way to make money, yet he was still not satisfied.

The third uncle turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw that it was Han Qianluo, so he didn't care at all, and continued to say roguely: "Qianluo, you are so unreasonable, what is our relationship, how can we be like those outsiders Woolen cloth?"

"Third uncle, I think you wish I could give you all the family money for free." Han Qianluo was very angry, so he spoke bluntly.

After she finished speaking, she also regretted a little, whether she said this too seriously, but what she didn't expect was that the expression on the third uncle's face did not change a bit after hearing it, and it was still the rascal smile: "Qianluo, how could I have such an idea, I just hope you can help me."

"Third Uncle, my money didn't fall from the sky, let alone doing good deeds. This price is already a little higher than the market price. If you are not satisfied, then you can find a shop that satisfies you." Han Qian Luo said angrily.

"But don't say that, look, your family has earned so much money, you don't care about it, do you?" The third uncle continued to pester.

At this time, Han Qingquan's mother had already weighed everything, and asked, "Third uncle, the price is the same for everyone. If you want to buy it, I will give you the money right away. If you think the price is too low, don't you?" If you are satisfied, then you can quickly pick these hemp back."

I don't know why, when the third uncle heard this, he didn't bother anymore, and quickly said: "I'm just talking, just talking, how can I be dissatisfied, the price here is indeed a bit higher. "

Hearing this, Han Qianluo couldn't help being a little depressed. Could it be that she is not convincing in her words, or how could it be like this?

Han Qingquan handed the money to the third uncle, and asked by the way: "I asked the second aunt to tell you what I told you yesterday. I don't know if the third uncle is willing or not?"

"What's the matter?" The third uncle asked in a daze.

"I want you to help contact the purchase of hemp. We will pay you ten cents for every [-] catties of hemp you buy. You just need to find someone who sells hemp and bring him over." Han Qianluo said, she felt It's a nice thing to do, it's easy, and it doesn't take too much time.

She thought that the third uncle would definitely agree to such a good thing, but to her surprise, the third uncle rolled his eyes and finally refused: "There is a lot of work in the field, I may not have time, Qianluo you Or find someone else."

Han Qianluo was a little confused in the future, and wanted to ask, but was preempted by his elder brother: "Since the third uncle is unwilling, then we can't force it."

"It's getting late, I'll go back first." The third uncle said and left.

It wasn't until he was far away and out of sight that Han Qianluo asked the doubts in his heart: "Brother, why don't you say that Uncle San is unwilling? Isn't this matter very easy, and it won't waste too much time? "

"If you ask him to bring people here directly, he will definitely not be willing." Han Qingquan said with a smile, and called someone to come over and move the hemp in.

Han Qianluo still didn't understand: "I'm not thinking that we are more or less relatives, so that he doesn't have to worry about it. If he just buys the hemp and then sends it over, how troublesome and tiring it will be?" She thought She can be regarded as a kind person, but people don't appreciate it, which makes her very depressed.

"What you give is not what he wants. That's not a good character." Han Qingquan explained.

Han Qianluo suddenly realized that maybe the third uncle was not afraid of trouble or tiredness, but was afraid that there would be no money to make in the process. Of course, the money was not given by her, but the price difference between them.

Since he had a different idea, Han Qianluo would not force it, and asked, "Brother, did you send someone to go up the mountain to cut down trees?"

"Not yet, waiting for your return."

As soon as the words finished, a familiar voice came from outside the door. Han Qianluo was already familiar with this voice. It was his uncle Feng Zhi: "Little uncle, why are you free?"

"Come here to see if you need any help." Feng Zhi said with a smile.

Han Qianluo brought out two stools from the room: "Uncle, sit down." She also sat on the stool, "Uncle, I really need your help."

"Oh, what can you tell me?" Feng Zhi asked with great interest.

Before Han Qianluo could speak, Han Qingquan said, "Xiao Luo, talk to uncle, I'm going to work." After speaking, he passed away.

Feng Zhi was a little surprised: "Qianluo, are you all busy now?" Then he answered himself, "It's normal for such a good business to be busy. Tell me, what do you need my help for?"

"That's right, I need a lot of hemp now, do you know where I can get it, little uncle?" Han Qianluo asked.

"Didn't you visit some of the markets in town?"

"I've gone to see it, and there are very few of them, not enough at all." Han Qianluo shook his head and said, probably because too few people are willing to buy, or because every family can plant, so they don't go at all. If you buy it in the market, naturally fewer people will sell it.

After hearing this, Feng Zhi agreed without thinking about it: "Then I'll go and ask for you, how much do you need?"

Han Qianluo thought for a while and said, "The more the better."

While talking, Pan Song came back from the outside, holding a small cloth bag full of things in his hand, and said as soon as he came back: "Sister Han, I found so many seeds, do you want to continue looking?" As he said that, he ran up to Han Qianluo bouncingly, and then saw Feng Zhi, and the smile on his face disappeared after a pause.

"Master Feng." Although Pan Song had met Feng Zhi many times, he still looked frightened.

Facing Pan Song like this, Han Qianluo had no choice, so he tried not to let him see Feng Zhi, and this time was no exception, so he said to him: "Xiao Song, go to the next door to see if there is anything that needs help." of."

Upon hearing this, Pan Song quickly ran away.Feng Zhi looked at Pan Song who seemed to be being chased by a dog, and said helplessly, "You said this kid, why does he still think I'm a bad person after so long?"

"By the way, Qianluo, what kind of seeds are you looking for?" Feng Zhi asked, instead of continuing to dwell on that question, he changed the subject.

Han Qianluo briefly explained the matter: "I rented three mountains and planned to plant all of them with mulberry trees. It's not that I'm still looking for seeds."

"I can't help you with this, but I can help you with another favor." Feng Zhi said.
