The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 138 Before Getting Married

In the afternoon, Han Qianluo still went to work as in the morning, Zhu Er still worked as hard as before, and did not slack off because Han Qianluo rejected him.

In the evening, after all the short-term workers went back, Han Qianluo locked the door and went back to prepare for cooking. Unexpectedly, when he walked into the yard, he saw a little boy sitting in his yard, about eight or nine years old, with dark skin. It looks like a little black monkey, sitting in the yard at the moment eating peaches that haven't fully ripened yet.

Seeing her, the little boy quickly opened his mouth and smiled, showing his white teeth, and shouted loudly: "Sister Qianluo."

Han Qianluo also said gently: "It's Yuan Ji." This little boy is also from Qianyangli, and what is very rare is that he has father and mother, grandpa and grandma, which can be regarded as a relatively happy family.

Han Qingquan was also sitting in the yard, and was talking about how to cut water spinach into small pieces. Han Sanwei had already returned and was helping to light the fire in the kitchen. Han Qianluo also hurried in to help prepare dinner.

Soon the dinner was ready, Han Qianluo put the food on the table, and shouted loudly: "It's time to eat." Sanwei and Xu Gui consciously went to fetch water to wash their hands, Han Qingquan called Xu Yuanji outside and said : "Wash your hands and eat."

Before Han Qianluo thought that this little boy came to play at home and would go back in a while, but now it seems that this is not the case, but in front of others, she is too embarrassed to ask Han Qingquan what is going on, so she can only Keep your doubts in your mind.

Soon the five people sat in their respective positions, and Han Qingquan said, "Let's eat."

Dinner was snow-white steamed buns made of flour, a piece of fried water spinach, and a piece of fried shredded pork. This made Han Qianluo's family get used to the dinner, so they ate quietly.

However, it was different tonight. There was another outsider, Xu Yuanji said excitedly, "It turned out to be white flour steamed buns and meat."

"We can eat meat every day." Han Sanwei said proudly.

"That's great." Xu Yuanji said enviously.

Han Qianluo put a chopstick of meat into Xu Yuanji's bowl and said, "Eat quickly, eat more if you like it." She knew that many people in Qianyang were not living as well as hers, and there were very few meats. It is very exciting to be able to eat, especially for children, to be able to eat meat.

Xu Yuanji stuffed the meat into his mouth, and said in a vague way: "Sister Qianluo, I wish I were from your family, so that I can eat meat every day."

"You can't say this casually. It's not good to be heard by others." Han Qianluo said quickly, although the child just said it casually, it's not good to be heard by others.

Xu Yuanji hurriedly ate the meat that Han Qianluo gave him, but he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed just after he swallowed it: "It's delicious, much better than the meat made by my mother."

"My third sister is very good, and she can cook a lot of delicious things." Han Sanwei was very proud, with a proud look on his face.

"Really, what else would Sister Qianluo do delicious food?" Xu Yuanji asked curiously.

At this time, Han Qingquan suddenly said: "Hurry up and eat, and you can talk slowly after eating." As soon as these words came out, the two children stopped talking and ate quietly.

After eating, the two children got together again and started chatting. Han Qianluo ignored the two of them and went to the kitchen to boil water.After a while, Han Qingquan also came to the kitchen, and Han Qianluo asked, "Brother, what happened to that kid?"

"This is the rule. A child must sleep with me during these three nights." Han Qingquan explained.Han Qianluo nodded, expressing his understanding.

After breakfast the next morning, Han Qingquan went out again, today to rent the wedding sedan chair and other wedding utensils, while Han Qianluo stayed at home to work.

I don't know how long it took, Han Qianluo was working seriously, when he suddenly heard someone outside the yard calling: "Qianluo." So he put down the paper-making bamboo curtain in his hand and went out, the person who came was actually his cousin Han Pinghe.

Han Qianluo didn't intend to let him in, so he walked out and asked, "Brother Hall, what's the matter with you?"

"I'll come over to see if you need any help?" Han Pinghe asked with a smile.

"Brother Hall, aren't you busy with things at home?" Han Qianluo asked. It was really rare for the second aunt's family to ask for help, so I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Han Pinghe changed the station: "No matter how busy you are, how can you not come to help with such a big matter."

Han Qianluo doubted whether they were really that kind, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't worry about it anymore. It's always good to have someone to help: "I don't know what I have to do. I'll ask when my brother comes back." He." These words are not perfunctory, she really doesn't know what things need to be busy.

"Okay then, I'll come back in the afternoon." Han Pinghe said, and then went back.

Han Qianluo continued to work, but Zhu Er asked curiously: "Qianluo, it was your big brother just now, what did he come for?"

"He said to see if we need any help." Han Qianluo replied casually, all his attention was on the paper-making bamboo curtain in his hand.

Zhu Er beside him sighed, "They really should treat you better. If it weren't for your kindness, they wouldn't be able to have such a good life now."

"Second brother Zhu, you can't say that. Even if I tell them the method, if they are lazy and unwilling to work, life will not change in any way." Han Qianluo said.

Zhu Er nodded in agreement and said, "That's true."

At noon, Han Qingquan finally came back, and of course he brought back a lot of utensils needed to get married. At this time, Han Qianluo had almost finished his lunch. Seeing these things, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, there are so many things. .”

Han Qingquan put away everything carefully, and replied in his mouth: "These are all necessary. When you get married in the future, after Xiaoluo, my elder brother will definitely make it grand and lively for you, so that you can get married in a beautiful way." .”

"Brother, it's still early." Han Qianluo said.

Han Qingquan jokingly said: "It's not too early, they are already 15 years old, and the other girls are already married by this time."

"Brother, why are you making fun of me?" Han Qianluo said dissatisfiedly, "By the way, the hall brother came over this morning and said he came to see if we need any help."

Han Qingquan had already put everything away, so he walked over and said, "What did you say, Xiaoluo?"

"Of course I said I didn't know, and asked him to come back in the afternoon."

After lunch in the afternoon, Han Pinghe came over again, and then went to work with Han Qingquan. As for what he was busy with, Han Qianluo didn't know.

One day passed in a blink of an eye, and the next day was the day before the wedding, and there were even more things to do, not only to prepare the food for the wedding, but also to decorate the new house, and even Han Qianluo had to stay at home to do these things matter.

Just after breakfast, when Han Qianluo was washing the dishes in the yard, he heard footsteps coming in from the yard, turned his head and saw that it was Mrs. Zhou and another elderly woman, so he hurriedly greeted: "Zhou Auntie, you can find a place to sit."

"What are you doing? You don't have to do it. I think you and your two brothers and sisters are the only ones in your house. You must be too busy, and you don't understand many things, so I came here to help you." Zhou said with a smile.

Han Qianluo was very happy, and quickly said: "Thank you, Aunt Zhou." The two women also hurried over to help wash the dishes. There are a lot of dishes needed for the banquet, and they need to find all the dishes in the house. The dishes and chopsticks have been placed for a long time, and they definitely need to be washed again.

With the help of two people, Han Qianluo quickly washed out the two baskets of bowls and chopsticks, found two clean baskets and put them in the kitchen.

"What to do next, kill a chicken?" Zhou smelled it.

"Yes." Han Qianluo nodded, turned his head and said loudly, "Brother, come over and kill these livestock." After shouting, he stopped caring and went into the kitchen to boil water. As for Zhou and the others Also went to help with other things.

Soon a large pot of water began to boil, Han Qianluo found the largest wooden basin in the house, put all the killed chickens, ducks and geese in it, and then poured all the boiling water into it, and put all the livestock They are all submerged in boiling water and scalded for a while, and then they are fished out, and the hairs on them are quickly pulled out.

The feathers of chickens are easy to pluck, and they will be almost plucked quickly, but ducks are very troublesome, with too many small hairs, it is difficult to pluck cleanly, Han Qianluo can only roughly pluck the large feathers , Those tiny feathers will be pulled out slowly later.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou also came over to help pluck the feathers. After seeing more than a dozen chickens and ducks in the sieve, she was surprised and said, "Why do you prepare so many? How much does it cost?"

"It didn't cost much, and for such a big event, we can't serve all vegetarian dishes on the table." Han Qianluo replied casually. She also went to other people's house for a banquet before. Although every serving was meat dishes, but There is very little meat in each dish, which is pitifully small.

While plucking the duck carefully, Mrs. Zhou said, "That's right, now that your family's conditions are better, things like getting married must be handled better."

Although the three of them were talking, they couldn't move slowly, and they pulled out all the hairs in a short time. Han Qianluo packed all the chickens, ducks and geese in a basket, and was about to burst their stomachs. But he snatched it over and said, "I'll come, Qianluo, you go do other things."

Naturally, Han Qianluo would not object, and turned around to prepare to do other things. At this time, another person came in. After a blink of an eye, it turned out to be Zhu Shi, Zhu Er's mother.
