The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 147 Harvester

"I heard that Sister Gao, you also made a pair of shoes for Brother Xue?" Han Qianluo asked pretending to gossip, while staring closely at Gao's expression.

Gao frowned and looked a little angry: "Those people are really serious. It seems that I shouldn't have helped make that pair of shoes at that time."

Han Qianluo looked at her expression, and asked cautiously: "Sister Gao, what's going on? Brother Gao and Brother Xue almost got into a fight a few days ago, and they often quarreled."

Gao sighed, put down the semi-finished shoes in his hand, and said with regret: "A few days ago Xue Dacheng came to ask me to help make a pair of shoes. I thought, they are all people I know, and I also helped other people People have made shoes, so I am too embarrassed to refuse."

"I didn't expect that narrow-minded guy, who probably still remembers what happened back then, to find a lot of people and ask me to give him the shoes that I made. As a result, those boring people saw it and started spreading rumors." Gao clattered She said these words like a bean, and it was obvious that she was also very depressed.

Han Qianluo quickly sorted out the relationship at home, and quickly sorted out the relationship between them, and comforted him: "Sister Gao, don't be angry, after all, brother Xue is a big man, and he doesn't think about things when he thinks about things. Too much, I didn't mean to pay you back."

Gao reached out to hold Han Qianluo's hand: "Qianluo, don't talk about it, anyway, things are already like this, and it's useless to say anything."

As for?Han Qianluo complained in his heart, isn't it just a pair of shoes, it seems that these people are really too idle, so they have time and energy to think about these insignificant things.

"How about I go and ask him what he means?" Han Qianluo suggested.

Mrs. Gao shook her head and said, "No, I'll just stay away from him in the future. It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Now that Mrs. Gao said so, Han Qianluo stopped paying attention to this matter and chatted casually Then went back.

As soon as she got home, Han Qianluo saw Li Chunhua chatting with the matchmaker Sun, and she immediately realized that she was the only one in their house now, so this Sun must have come to match her. I was worried that Li Chunhua would agree indiscriminately, so I hurried in and said, "Aunt Sun, why are you here?"

"Qianluo is back, we are talking about you." Sun said with an ambiguous smile.

"Aunt Sun is here to match me, but I'm already engaged, so I don't need to bother Aunt Sun. I'm really sorry to let you go for nothing." Han Qianluo said directly, and then took out more than a dozen coins and gave it to her. sun.

Sun took the money and didn't insist anymore, but muttered with some doubts: "Why didn't I hear that you are engaged." After speaking, he left.

It wasn't until Sun's back was no longer visible that Li Chunhua asked suspiciously: "Qianluo, why didn't I hear that you are engaged?"

"In the future, no matter who comes to match me, you have to refuse." Han Qianluo instructed, because under normal circumstances those matchmakers would not talk to her about this matter.

"I see." Li Chunhua replied, and then asked curiously, "Qianluo, is it the young man who used to go to your house who used to be engaged to you?"

Han Qianluo didn't intend to hide it from others, so he readily admitted: "Yes, it's him, but recently he left the capital for something."

Li Chunhua covered her mouth and smiled: "Let me just say, I see you going in and out with him every day, so the relationship must not be simple."

"Get to work."

A few days later, Han Qianluo went to the city as usual. Before going to the market, she first went to Zhao Tong's house. Mrs. Zhao was very happy to see her, but she didn't understand what Mrs. Zhao was happy about.After saying hello to Mrs. Zhao, she went to find Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong was still seriously making Han Qianluo's machine, and when he saw her coming, he waved to her and said, "Qianluo, come and have a look?"

Han Qianluo walked over and saw that Zhao Tong was holding the blueprint in his hand, so he asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter, what happened?" Zhao Tong said that the blueprint was laid out on the table, and pointed to a Fang said: "I don't think this place is suitable, it should be better if it is changed."

"What do you think is more suitable?" Han Qianluo asked.

Zhao Tong picked up a branch at random, walked out of the thatched hut, squatted down and drew a pattern on the mud floor: "What do you think about changing to this kind of parts?" It was more suitable, so I agreed to change that part.

Afterwards, the two discussed for a long time, hoping to do their best to make the machine better. After the discussion, Han Qianluo realized that it was getting late, so he hurried to the market to buy what he needed, and then went back.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and it was July in a blink of an eye. It was time for the busy farming, and the machine was ready. Han Qingquan had already gone to Zhao Tong's house to bring the machine back, while Han Qianluo was at home to settle the wages for those people. , this matter is not difficult for her, so she quickly settled all the accounts and paid the wages.

After everyone left, Han Qianluo locked the gate of the yard, went back to the house and waited for Han Qingquan to come back. After so many months, the machine was finally made, so she was very excited and walked out from time to time. Go to the door and look out.

Li Chunhua, who was making shoes in the yard, burst out laughing suddenly, Han Qianluo looked at her puzzled, wondering what she was laughing at.

"Qianluo, why do you keep walking up and down, the husband will come back when the time is up, and you won't come back sooner if you look at it." Li Chunhua said with a smile on his face.

Han Qianluo went back to the house to finish, propped his cheeks and said, "I just want to see my brother come back sooner." Li Chunhua smiled and said nothing.

Han Qianluo worked in the house for a while, and then simply moved a stool to the gate of the yard to sit, so he didn't have to go in and out of the yard.Under her eagerly looking forward, Han Qingquan finally came back with the ox cart.

"Brother." Han Qianluo stood up all of a sudden, shouted loudly, and at the same time moved the stool she had just sat on to avoid blocking the bullock cart.

Soon Han Qingquan drove the ox cart into the yard, turned down the ox cart under Han Qianluo's gaze, and then moved the machine off the ox cart with Zhao Tong and put it in the yard.

Han Qianluo walked around the machine several times happily, carefully inspecting every detail of the machine, and she really wanted to get the machine into the field to try the effect now.

"The rice in the field will be harvested in two days. Wait for two days with peace of mind." Han Qingquan saw her thoughts and said.

Han Qianluo originally planned to build a machine like the harvester of later generations, but because of energy problems, he finally gave up this idea, and separated the harvesting and threshing into two machines.

Li Chunhua also came over with great interest, and said distrustfully, "Qianluo, you iron lump can really harvest rice automatically without human effort?"

"Of course."

"Impossible." Li Chunhua looked at her suspiciously.

Although being suspected, Han Qianluo was not angry, but replied confidently: "You will know in two days."

Zhao Tong suddenly said: "Qianluo, if this machine can really achieve the effect you expected, then you can make this machine and sell it, and it should be more profitable than your current business."

"I thought about it before, but it's probably too late now, I have to wait until once." Han Qianluo thought that it took so long to make this one, let alone a few more, and it was too late to even make a machine.

Zhao Tong said confidently: "It was the first time to do it before, so it took a lot of time. Now it doesn't take so long, and it can be made and put in your shop. Maybe when Someone will buy it."

Han Qianluo turned to look at his elder brother, and asked his opinion: "Brother, what do you think?"

"You can decide." After Han Qingquan finished speaking, he walked towards the well and got a basin of water from the well to wash his hands.This well was dug specially for the convenience of water when the house was being repaired.

Han Qianluo also walked over, squatted in front of him and said, "Brother, you are the head of our family, of course you should be the master, and the most important thing is that if you really want to make this machine, it may take A lot of money was put into it.”

"It turned out that I was worried about losing money." Han Qingquan said with a smile, "Try it, if you lose money, you lose money, and if you make more money, just make money."

Now that Han Qingquan agreed, the matter was decided in this way. After hearing this, Zhao Tong said quickly: "In this case, I will go back first."

"Let's go back after lunch." Han Qingquan asked to stay.

"No need, come to your house for dinner again when you have time, I'll go back first." Zhao Tong refused, and then left.

Han Qianluo was very interested, and said urgently: "Brother, let's quit and try, just find some weeds and the like, and try to see how the harvesting effect is."

Unexpectedly, Han Qingquan did not agree, and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly become like a child? It will be noon soon, let's go after dinner."

"Okay." Han Qianluo agreed helplessly, and then hurried into the house to cook, thinking about it while cooking.

After lunch, Han Qianluo couldn't wait to ask Li Chunhua to wash the dishes, while she went to light the fire.Han Qingquan asked a little puzzled: "Xiao Luo, what are you doing with the fire?"

"I need a harvester." Han Qianluo pointed to the harvester in the yard.

She originally planned to use manpower, but later changed her mind. The thresher uses manpower, and the harvester uses half of charcoal as energy. However, in order to save energy, the harvester is pushed by people.

The size of the harvester is not too big or small, and the weight is not too light. For the convenience of moving, Han Qianluo put a dozen or two rows of very small wheels under the harvester, so he can easily push the harvester.
