The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 173 Why You Like Me
"Forget it, there's no need to look for it, anyway, we will worship at night." After a while, Mrs. Wang said.

Han Qianluo felt that there must be a row of black lines floating over her head, and complained in her heart: Since the worship is not until evening, what are you doing in such a hurry.

Although I was complaining in my heart, I still said politely on my face: "I know, I will tell my brother when he comes back this afternoon, is there anything Second Aunt needs me to do?"

"No need, your second uncle and I can take care of it." Wang said as normal as possible, but she still couldn't hide the smugness, which made Han Qianluo very puzzled, and didn't understand what she was so proud of.

Wang looked around and said, "I'll go back first, remember to tell Qingquan when he comes back." After finishing speaking, regardless of Han Qianluo's answer, he turned and left.

While they were talking, Yu Wenxuan had already entered the room and took off his original white clothes, and then changed into a black linen clothes and said, "Qianluo, I went to work in the yard next door."

"Let's rest for a while, anyway, it's almost noon, let's work again in the afternoon, I'll go out for a while." Han Qianluo said quickly, and then went out with the fur he just bought.

She came to Zhu Er's house with the fur on her back. The door was open, but she didn't knock on the door. She just yelled loudly when she reached the door: "Aunt Zhu, are you home?"

As soon as the words finished, I saw Mrs. Zhu coming out of the house, holding a pair of scissors in her right hand and a piece of black linen in her left hand. Seeing it was her, she quickly said, "It's Qianluo, come in quickly."

After Han Qianluo walked in, he turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Zhu Er.Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Zhu asked, "What is Qianluo looking for?" After speaking, she moved out two stools and said, "Sit down." After speaking, she sat down herself, and put the scissors and linen in her hand beside her. .

"Aunt Zhu, I have something I want to ask Brother Zhu for help. I wonder if he is free?" Han Qianluo asked softly.

Mrs. Zhu glanced at the fur in her back basket, with some doubts on her face, and then she understood something, but she didn't agree, but deliberately said with a regretful look: "What a coincidence, he Went out to do part-time work."

"Do a part-time job?" Han Qianluo was a little surprised, but then felt a little puzzled, "We will be planting wheat soon, why are you still doing a part-time job at this time?"

Mrs. Zhu sighed, and said helplessly: "It's nothing to do, and I'm not afraid of making fun of you if I say it. You also know that my family is not rich. Someone told him about a marriage a few days ago, and the girl of the family also I don’t despise our family being poor, it’s just that if they don’t despise being poor, there will always be money for this marriage.”

"So that's the case. Originally, I wanted to ask Second Brother Zhu for help." Han Qianluo said with some disappointment.

Only then did Zhu pretend to say: "He doesn't know anything, how can he help you with anything." Even so, there was a hint of complacency on his face because of these words.

Han Qianluo didn't pay attention either, and fiddled with the fur in the back basket with his hands, saying, "I went to the street today to buy some furs, and I planned to ask Second Brother Zhu to tan the mature leather for me, but I didn't expect him to be free."

"How could he know how to tan the skin? If he had this skill, would our family still be so poor?" Mrs. Zhu said with a smile, as if this statement was whimsical.

Han Qianluo was a little uncertain about the meaning of this, so he said cautiously: "But the second brother Zhu helped me make a piece of leather a few days ago."

"What?" Zhu's face was surprised, and then he said with some doubts, "There is such a thing, why didn't I know." After speaking, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Han Qianluo now felt that she seemed to have said the wrong thing and done the wrong thing, and felt a little bit sorry, so she didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Zhu seemed to remember something, and suddenly realized: "This brat must have learned it secretly from Lao Ding." Then he said a little angrily, "See if he comes back. kill him."

"Aunt Zhu, isn't it great to learn a craft?" Han Qianluo said a little puzzled, she didn't understand why Zhu was so angry.

Zhu seems to have realized that Han Qianluo is still here, so he quickly put away the anger on his face, and explained: "You don't know, such craftsmanship is kept secret, how could it be given to an outsider like him?" , he must have learned it secretly, so it was discovered by someone, so what happened."

"Isn't it?" Han Qianluo said in disbelief, "It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal." In her opinion, this is knowledge that can be easily learned, and it is nothing at all A secret not to be passed on.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu glanced at her as if looking at an alien, but she still explained seriously: "This is someone else's cooking skills, how could it not be important."

Now Han Qianluo deeply feels that she has done a stupid thing, but the matter has come to an end, and it is useless to regret, so he can only comfort him and say: "Aunt Zhu, don't worry, the person you mentioned, he is not at all. I don’t know that Second Brother Zhu learned how to nitrate, and it’s even more impossible to know that he learned it secretly from him.” After thinking about it, he added, “If you really find out, then say you learned it from another master.”

"That's the only way to go." Zhu said with a sigh.

Han Qianluo, who felt that he had done something stupid, did not dare to stay here any longer. He stood up and said goodbye. After returning home, he put the fur in the hall, and sighed with some annoyance. He didn't know what to do with it now. What to do with the skin, it seems that the only way is to go to the city to find someone who can tan the skin.

In the afternoon, Han Qingquan came back. Knowing that the second aunt Wang and the others were going to pay homage to their ancestors, they rushed to the second uncle's house. Han Qianluo did not go there together, but continued to do her own things at home .

When the sun started to slant to the west, Han Qianluo packed up her things and prepared to start cooking dinner. Unexpectedly, just after packing up and walking out, she saw Zhu Er coming, and felt a little surprised: "Zhu Er Brother, why are you here?"

"After I came back, I heard from my mother that you came to see me. I thought you must have something to ask for my help, so I came to see it." Zhu Er explained.

It's just that Han Qianluo hesitated when he thought of what Zhu Shi said, so he frowned and said, "I've heard what Aunt Zhu said, will this cause you trouble?"

"What trouble can it cause? Master Ding doesn't remember me now." Zhu Er said indifferently, and he didn't seem worried at all.

Han Qianluo thought about it after listening to it, and felt that Zhu Er must have a good idea, so he relaxed and said: "That's great, I'm really worried that you will get into trouble because you did me a small favor." That would be too embarrassing."

"How could it be?" Zhu Er said, as if he didn't want to continue entanglement on this topic, he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, why did you come to see me at noon?"

"Actually, it's nothing, just wait a minute." After finishing speaking, Han Qianluo turned around and went into the house. He took out the furs he bought in the morning and said, "I bought some more furs, and I want you to help me tan the mature furs." , as for the price, I will give you the price according to the area of ​​the leather, how about it?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you give it or not." Zhu Er said, although he didn't say yes or no, the meaning was obvious.

So Han Qianluo said: "Wait a minute, let me calculate the area of ​​these furs." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, spread out all the furs and pieced them together, and Zhu Er also knelt down to help.

"I heard from your mother that you were engaged. When did it happen? Why haven't you heard about it?" Han Qianluo remembered this while he was fighting furs, so he asked casually.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Er heard this, he said excitedly: "Nothing is my mother's wishful thinking. I don't want it. It's just that my mother forced me. I have no choice but to..." At the end of the sentence, the voice Small down.

His excited attitude made Han Qianluo feel a little strange, and then he remembered what he had confessed before, so he raised his head in disbelief and said: "I just remembered such a thing, just talk about it, you Don't be so excited."

Zhu Er also seemed to realize that he seemed too excited, so he said a little embarrassedly: "I'm just afraid that you might misunderstand."

"It's nothing if I misunderstood," Han Qianluo said, suddenly feeling a little annoyed. She felt that her attitude could not be more clear, but now it seems that she is too naive to think that she can be ordinary friends with Zhu Er. Knowing that it would be like this, she shouldn't have asked Zhu Er for help in the morning.

However, no matter what, she felt that she was obliged to fully realize the glimmer of hope in Zhu Er's heart, so that the two of them could be ordinary friends, so she thought about it and asked, "Is that girl okay?"

"No, it's pretty good." Zhu Er quickly replied.

At this time, all the furs have been pieced together, and they are roughly pieced together into a whole, so Han Qianluo took out a wooden ruler to measure the length and width, and then calculated the total area, and then pretended to say: "Since it's good, Then why don't you want to, so there must be something bad about it."

Zhu Eryi seemed a little anxious when he heard this, and quickly explained: "She's really good, but I don't like her," he paused for a while, then looked up at her, with an expression on his face. With a faint, imperceptible blush, Han Qianluo suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhu Er went on to say: "You know, I like you." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly packed up the fur and put it in the back basket, pretending to be very busy.

But Han Qianluo stopped counting the money, and then asked very seriously: "Why do you like me?"
