The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 238 What is this

When Han Qianluo returned home, his eldest brother was not at home. He must have gone out to discuss business and hadn't returned yet, so Han Qianluo did not stay at this home, but went back to another home.

The sun was not bad that day, so Han Qianluo moved the tables and chairs to the yard and sat in the yard to draw pictures.At this time, the servant came over and asked, "Ma'am, all your dowry has been put in the warehouse."

"Well, I see." Han Qianluo replied without raising her head. This sentence did not stop in her mind at all, because all her attention was on the blueprint in her hand, and she did not care about it at all. Pay attention to what the boy said.

After a while, Han Qianluo suddenly remembered what the boy said, and then suddenly remembered the cotton mixed in the dowry. Now that the weather is getting cold, she has to hurry up to make cotton clothes and quilts, So she quickly stood up, found the boy before and said, "There are a few large but light sacks in my dowry, go and help me get them out."

"No, ma'am." The servant replied, and then hurriedly went to the warehouse to take out the things Han Qianluo ordered.

After a while, the young and strong boy took out six sacks filled with cotton and put them in the yard, saying: "Madam, what you want has been brought out."

Looking at the obvious doubts on the boy's face, Han Qianluo smiled and said, "Do you think it's strange what's inside?"

"I'm really curious, how could there be such a thing in Madam's dowry, it seems..." The boy couldn't continue talking at the end.

But Han Qianluo knew what he was going to say. It was nothing more than that these sacks looked too low-grade. Even ordinary farmers would not have such sacks when they got married. She didn't answer, but put one of them He opened the sack and said, "I asked someone to bring this back from a far away place."

"Ma'am, what is this, why haven't I seen it before?" the servant asked in surprise.

"This is cotton. It can be used to make winter clothes and quilts. It's very warm. I'll give you a quilt when I'm done. Then you'll know the benefits of cotton." Han Qianluo said and put the other sacks She also opened it, and then realized that there might not be a drying mat at home, but she still asked the boy, "Is there a drying mat at home?"

After hearing this, the servant was also taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses, shaking his head and said: "If you go back to Madam, there is no drying mat at home."

Han Qianluo stopped what she was doing and thought about where to borrow it. Judging from the distance, it is natural that Li's family is the closest to here, but she doesn't want to have too much to do with Li, so she decided to go. She took the drying mat at home, but it was very wide and heavy, and she couldn't handle it by herself, so she said to the boy next to her, "You can go get it with me."

"No." The boy responded.

Han Qianluo took the boy to his house to get a drying mat, but when he passed by, he found that his elder brother still hadn't come back, so he took the drying mat and prepared to leave.At this time, Han Shuier suddenly came out from the inner courtyard, her voice was as gentle as ever: "Xiao Luo, what are you doing?"

"I'll hang some things in the past, and I'll bring them over in the evening." Han Qianluo replied indifferently, in her opinion, it's really not a big deal.

However, to her surprise, Han Shui'er suddenly said with a straight face: "Xiao Luo, you are married now, how can you come here to pick up things casually?"

Han Qianluo was a little puzzled, she just borrowed something, and it wasn't that she wouldn't return it. Besides, it was just a drying mat, and it wasn't something valuable. She felt that Han Shui'er's reaction was really strange, so she said : "It's just borrowing, not taking. Besides, isn't it allowed to borrow something from your mother's house?"

"Xiao Luo, you know that's not what I mean." Han Shui'er still said softly, but her attitude was very tough, "It's just that you are married after all, so you are not a member of this family, so naturally you can't do what you want to do like before Just do what you want, or people will gossip about it.”

Although Han Shui'er's tone was very sincere and sincere, Han Qianluo understood right away that the crux of the problem was not because of this drying table, or even because of her messy behavior. The reason, in fact, is that Han Shuier wants to have the right to speak in this family, or even worse.

But Han Qianluo would not let her get what she wanted, so she said without timidity: "Second sister, whether I get married or not, I am still a part of this family, and don't forget, you are getting married soon .”

"Xiao Luo, you really misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. You are my sister. How could I have such an idea." Han Shui'er said softly, looking like she was about to cry, she looked very weak appearance, it is easy to arouse a man's desire for protection.

On the other hand, Han Qianluo is upright and arrogant. If people who don't know see this situation, they will definitely think that she bullied Han Shuier, but it's a pity that this is at home, there are no outsiders, and there are only each other Familiar people, so this weak gesture was for nothing.

Han Qianluo sneered, and said mercilessly: "Han Shuier, don't be so hypocritical, since the day you stole my prescription, I know what kind of person you are, I just I don't want to make big brother sad, that's why I let you hang around in front of me, don't think that I have forgotten the past." After speaking, he turned his head and beckoned the boy to leave.

Because of this incident, Han Qianluo's mood also became a little bad. After returning home, she asked the boy to dry the cotton. She didn't plan to draw any pictures, but hid in the kitchen to cook delicious food. This is her usual practice As a habit, cooking food can quickly restore her mood.

Han Qianluo searched around the kitchen at home, and found that everything in the kitchen was well prepared, as long as there were things at this time, there were all in the kitchen.She thought about it carefully, and decided to make a thousand-layer cake. She prepared all the ingredients, and then started to make the pastry seriously.

Once Han Qianluo started cooking food, she was able to devote herself wholeheartedly to this matter, completely ignoring everything around her, including time, so when she regained her mood and finished making thousand-layer cakes, she had already done so. It was past lunch time, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Han Qianluo ate some pastries casually, and then felt that there was nothing to do. After thinking about it, she decided to toss her own machines, so she stayed in the side hall to improve the design drawings. She hoped to make these machines more perfect , more practical and cheaper.

It was the first time to make a quilt, and Han Qianluo didn't know if those quilt makers had the ability to make cotton quilts, so she decided to try it first and take less cotton, so she just weighed five catties of cotton and brought it over.

Han Qianluo had also made quilts before, so she knew where the quilt maker lived, so she drove an ox cart to find him.The quilt maker she was looking for didn't have a shop in the city, but anyone who made quilts in the neighborhood would go to him.

The speed of the bullock cart was not fast, so Han Qianluo walked for a long time before arriving at that person's house. The person who opened the door was his wife, a simple middle-aged woman.When the middle-aged woman saw Han Qianluo, she knew why she came, so she said enthusiastically, "Madam, come in quickly."

Han Qianluo asked while leading the bullock cart, "Is Master Xie at home?"

"At home, at home, are you going to make a quilt?" The middle-aged woman hurried into the house to pour water for Han Qianluo, and told the little boy who was playing beside her, "Go and call your father back."

"Oh." The little boy ran out quickly.

The middle-aged woman handed the tea to Han Qianluo and said, "Sit down and wait for a while, you will be back soon, right next door." Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, the little boy who had just left ran away quickly. After returning, the middle-aged woman asked quickly, "Did you call your father back?"

The little boy was a little unhappy that his mother questioned him for being lazy, so he pursed his lips and said, "Say it, Dad said he will be back soon." After finishing speaking, he went to play on his own.

"This child is a little disobedient, I'm making you laugh." The middle-aged woman seemed to feel a little embarrassed by the little boy's talking back, so she quickly explained.

Han Qianluo smiled slightly and said, "It's good for a boy of this age to be a little mischievous. It's not good to be too obedient."

Originally, the middle-aged woman just said this casually, but she was immediately aroused by Han Qianluo's statement, so she quickly asked, "Why did Madam say that?"

Han Qianluo actually just said that casually, but she was stunned when she heard the middle-aged woman asking this question, but she immediately reacted, and quickly came up with a reason to say: "A son is not like a daughter. , my son will support a family when he grows up, although he is obedient now, but it will be troublesome when he grows up."

"Madam's words are too reasonable." The middle-aged woman said happily.

At this time, a middle-aged man came in from the outside. The woman stood up and said, "The head of the house is back." Then she said to the man, "This lady is here to make a quilt."

The middle-aged man came over, sat down on the stool carelessly, and asked, "Madam, how heavy do you want the quilt to be?"

"I brought my own things here." Han Qianluo said as he untied the sack of cotton, showed the cotton inside to the man, and continued: "I hope you can make this cotton into a quilt. Can it be done?"

"What is this, why have I never seen it before?" The middle-aged woman asked in surprise.
