The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 31
After a while, that Mrs. Sun came over again. This time she talked for a long time and did not leave. Han Qianluo was a little strange, so she wanted to go out and listen to what they were talking about. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun stopped when she saw her coming out. Say no more.

"Aunt Sun, it's okay. We don't have parents. We are the ones to decide these matters. Go ahead." Han Qingquan said politely.

Only then did Sun continue to say: "Well, this family is comparable to yours. They are the youngest in the family. They are pretty good-looking and honest."

This Mrs. Sun has been talking a lot, nothing more than how good this person is and how he matches with their family.Han Qianluo had been listening from the sidelines without speaking.

"Aunt Sun, I still want to ask Shui'er's opinion on this matter, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." Ha Qingquan said.

Mrs. Sun didn't force her, stood up and said, "Okay then, you brothers and sisters have a good discussion, and I'll leave first, and come back tomorrow." After speaking, he left.

During dinner at night, Han Qingquan asked Han Shuier's opinion on this matter: "Shui'er, you heard it in the afternoon, right? What do you think? Would you like this family?"

Han Shuier just lowered his head and didn't speak.Seeing her like this, Han Qianluo didn't like it in his heart. If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it. What's the point of not talking.

"Second sister, agree or disagree, you can say something, this is a major event in a lifetime." Han Qianluo said bluntly.

After a long while, Han Shui'er said in a low voice, "Big brother just decides."

"Second sister, since you don't make up your mind, don't blame elder brother if you encounter any problems in the future. You are the one who gave up the right to choose." Han Qianluo said bluntly, not caring what Han Shui'er thought.

After a long while, Han Shui'er said: "Then let me think about it again." I didn't talk about this topic any more, and it seemed to stop here.

The next day Han Qianluo came back from selling the caramel, but found that Han Shuier was uncharacteristically not weaving at home, so he asked casually, "Brother, where did the second sister go?"

Before Han Qingquan could speak, Han Sanwei hurriedly said, "I know, the second sister went to the house of that woman who can twist her butt."

A woman who can twist her ass?Han Qianluo was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he should be talking about the Zhang Yao he met last time, but regarding Han Sanwei's name, Han Qianluo felt that he should correct it: "You can't say that in the future, especially not in the Say it outside, you know?"

"That's what they all call it," Han Sanwei argued.

"Others will scold you if they hear it, and even beat them, so you can't call it that, we must be polite." Han Qianluo taught.

Han Sanwei nodded, indicating that he understood: "I won't call you that in the future."

There wasn't much going on at this time. Han Qianluo sat on the stool, basking in the sun boredly. He didn't need to worry about the crops in the field, and it was the slack season, and there was nothing to pick on the mountain.

After thinking about it, Han Qianluo only remembered the matter of making soy sauce and vinegar that he had shelved by himself, so he stood up and prepared to make soy sauce.

The first step is soaking and steaming. Han Qianluo took out the soybeans at home and soaked them.Before Han Qingquan, who was on the side, had time to ask, Han Sanwei asked curiously: "Sister San, shall we eat beans at night?"

"This is not for dinner." Han Qianluo said mysteriously, but he just didn't tell them what it was for.

"You girl, I don't know what to come up with." Han Qingquan said with a smile, without stopping.

It is estimated that it has been half an hour. Han Qianluo fished out the soybeans and put them in a pot to cook. Lay it on a bamboo mat to ferment.

At this time, Han Shui'er finally came back from the outside, humming a little song, and seemed in a good mood.Seeing Han Shuier, Han Qianluo remembered one thing: "Brother, has that Aunt Sun been here?"

"I've come, I declined."

Han Shui'er walked into the kitchen humming a tune, and said, "Xiao Luo, let me make dinner." As he spoke, he took the wooden basin of kneading dough from Han Qianluo's hand and started kneading the dough.

Han Qianluo didn't care, so he turned around and went to light the fire, but he still had some doubts in his heart. This second sister seldom entered the kitchen, and she and her elder brother usually did the cooking, let alone someone who took the initiative to cook like today. It was so abnormal that Han Qianluo couldn't help but take a second look.

Han Qianluo's doubts were quickly answered. When he came back from the market the next day, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the room. The iconic mole made people know that she was a matchmaker.But unfortunately, when Han Qianluo came back, she seemed to have finished the matter and left with a smile.

"Brother, what did that person do just now?" Han Qianluo said, placing the basket against the wall, then rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands.

"I'm here to talk about marriage with Shui'er." Han Qingquan frowned and said, seeming very troubled.

"Is it bad?" Han Qianluo said and wiped his hands with a clean cloth.

Han Qianluo moved a stool and sat down next to Han Qingquan, and Han Qingquan also moved a stool and sat down, hesitantly said: "It is said that the ancestors are nobles, although they are declining now, they are not bad. Ji Guan, it’s pretty good.”

After hearing this, Han Qianluo also felt a little strange. How could such a family be willing to come to his home to propose a marriage?

"Where is home?"

"It's from the city."

Han Qianluo thought about it, and it's better to inquire about it to be safe: "I'll inquire about it when I go to the street tomorrow."

"That's fine." Han Qingquan nodded and said in agreement.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Han Shui'er, who was supposed to be weaving seriously, came over suddenly: "Brother." But there was no movement after that.

Han Qingquan turned to look at Han Shui'er with some doubts, but found that she was just standing there awkwardly, twisting the corners of her clothes with both hands, her face was a little red, and she seemed very embarrassed.

"Second Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. They are all a family, and they will laugh at you." Han Qianluo said unceremoniously, not because he completely regarded Han Shui'er as a family, but on the contrary, he didn't care at all. .

Han Shui'er blushed and crumpled his clothes before finally whispering, "Brother, I think this guy is pretty good."

Hearing this, Han Qianluo realized a little bit, and combined with those comments about Zhang Yao, he understood in his heart that his second sister seemed to be a person who wanted to climb high, so she looked down on her family. Poor but real farmer.

"Let Qian Luo go and inquire about that person's character tomorrow." Han Qingquan made a decision on this matter, so he stopped discussing it.

Han Shui'er was a little unwilling, but didn't say anything, turned around and continued weaving.Han Qingquan took an ax and went out to chop firewood. Han Qianluo made soy sauce yesterday, but today he decided to make vinegar. The vinegar he bought at the market was not good at all, so Han Qianluo decided to make it himself.

Before making vinegar, you first need to get everything ready and find out what you have at home, but you find that there are a lot of things missing, so you have no choice but to go to other people’s houses to exchange, in fact, there is no glutinous rice.

Han Qianluo took the money and a small wooden basin, and she didn't know who had it, so she had to ask each family, first of all, the widow next door, Mrs. Li.

Han Qianluo knocked on the courtyard door of Li's house, and then Li Chunhua came to open the door. She was surprised that it was Han Qianluo outside the door: "Qianluo, why are you here, come in quickly."

"Do you have glutinous rice at home?" Han Qianluo said without going in.

"No, what do you want glutinous rice for?" Li Chunhua asked puzzled, "It seems that Aunt Qin has it at home."

"I want to make vinegar. I'll go to Aunt Qin's house and ask."

Aunt Qin is also from Qianyangli. When Han Qianluo came to Aunt Qin's house, the gate of the courtyard was open. There were three women kneeling in the courtyard. One of them saw Han Qianluo with his own eyes.

"Qianluo is here, come in and sit down."

"Why does Qianluo come here when you have time?" Aunt Qin was talking, her sewing clothes did not stop at all, and she was still very fast, which showed how proficient she was.

Han Qianluo walked over and knelt on the mat: "Aunt Qin, I heard that your family has glutinous rice, so I want to buy some."

"How much do you want to buy?" Aunt Qin asked, raising her head to look at Han Qianluo.

Han Qianluo thought about it in his heart, and finally decided not to make too much vinegar. Too much vinegar is useless: "I want to buy ten catties."

Qin put down the things in his hand: "Wait a minute." Then she stood up and went into the house. After a while, she came out with a sack and weighed ten catties of glutinous rice for Han Qianluo.

"Qianluo, what do you want glutinous rice for?" Qin asked curiously.

Han Qianluo doesn't mind letting others know: "I use it to make vinegar."

Qin raised her head and looked at Han Qianluo in surprise: "Qianluo, do you know how to make vinegar?" Then he immediately smiled and said, "This is really not easy. If you make vinegar well, we won't have to use it in the future." After running so far, I went to the market to buy vinegar."

"That's right." The other two middle-aged women beside him also echoed.

After paying the money, Han Qianluo went home with glutinous rice, found sorghum, and began to make mature vinegar. As for the other rice vinegar, it was only the method Han Qianluo knew. She lacked some materials, so she had to make mature vinegar .

Mix the sorghum flour and bran evenly, then add water and stir, then place it in the house, wait until the sorghum flour is fully soaked before proceeding to the next steps, at least until tomorrow.
