The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 48
At this moment, Han Qianluo only had one sentence in his mind: No way!She also knew that such resistance was unreasonable, but thinking that this Li Chunhua might become her sister-in-law, Han Qianluo suddenly felt that there must be a row of crows flying over her head.

"Qianluo, don't you agree?" Li Chunhua asked a little puzzled.

Han Qianluo thought to himself: How could I agree.But on the surface, he still smiled and said: "I am a little surprised, I need time to adjust."

At this moment, a surprised and familiar voice came from the side: "Qianluo, Chunhua." Han Qianluo turned his head and saw that it was Chu Zhen who had met once.

"Chu Zhen, are you here to pick wild vegetables?" Han Qianluo said casually, immediately remembered what happened last time, and deliberately paid attention to Chu Zhen's every move.

Chu Zhen came over with a basket in his hand, and asked seemingly casually, "What were you talking about just now?"

Han Qianluo just opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Li Chunhua answered first: "I like someone, and my mother has already agreed."

"Really, that's really great." Chu Zhen said with a smile, "Who is it?"

"You know him too, it's Brother Qingquan." Li Chunhua said with a smile.

The smile on Chu Zhen's face froze all of a sudden, but only for a moment, and then he returned to his usual quiet and refined appearance, just lowered his head and said, "That's good." Although he recovered quickly, but None of this escaped Han Qianluo's eyes.

"Qianluo, remember to ask you when you go back." Li Chunhua said, and also helped Han Qianluo dig earthworms, but he was only responsible for digging them out, and let Han Qianluo pick them up by himself.

Han Qianluo picked up an earthworm and put it in the jar: "Okay, no problem."

"Qianluo, you are digging earthworms," ​​Chu Zhen asked in surprise, as if he had just seen what they were doing, "What are you digging for?"

"I don't know what Qianluo is digging for such a disgusting thing." Li Chunhua said first.

Han Qianluo was once again preempted by Li Chunhua, a little speechless, obviously she and her mother are still very similar, they are so talkative.

"I still have to look for wild vegetables, so I won't talk to you." Chu Zhen said, and then left.

Han Qianluo continued digging earthworms unaffected at all, but heard Li Chunhua say with some disdain: "She's yin and yang, I don't know why so many people say she is good."

"You don't like her?" Han Qianluo asked in surprise, it was rare to see Li Chunhua satirizing someone so nakedly.

Li Chunhua curled her lips and said, "Who would like this kind of person?" Then he asked with some doubts: "Why don't you think she is very yin and yang, and I am the only one who thinks so?"

"Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us anyway." Han Qianluo said, she really didn't care much about this issue, she only cared about whether that Chu Zhen had her own ideas.

"makes sense."

By the time Han Qianluo returned, he had already dug a clay pot full of earthworms. Han Sanwei saw it when he returned, and seemed surprised that his third sister would do such a thing, with an expression of disbelief.

"What's your expression?" Han Qianluo said with a smile and nodded his forehead.

Han Sanwei looked at the earthworms in her jar and said in surprise, "Sister San, why are you digging such earthworms?"

Han Qianluo put the clay pot into Han Sanwei's hands, and said to him, "Take it to feed the chickens, and I will leave this task to you in the future."

"I will definitely feed it well, so that it will be fat and big." Han Sanwei said loudly, as if making an oath, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him, with an excited expression on his face.

When having dinner at night, Han Qianluo noticed the excited expression on Han Shuier's face, and said with some doubts, "Why is Second Sister so happy?"

Hearing Han Qianluo's question, Han Shui'er just lowered his head and ate quietly, and didn't answer, but his eldest brother Han Qingquan replied, "The matchmaker came here today, and she said that the betrothal gift will be delivered tomorrow."

Hearing the news, Han Qianluo was also very happy, and knew why Han Shuier was so happy, but her happiness was completely different from that of her second sister. She was glad that the second sister, who was against her, was finally expected to leave.

However, Han Qianluo suddenly thought of a question, and quickly asked, "Will it be very grand?" In her memory, the engagement ceremony at this time was very complicated and very important. Since it is important, it is naturally very important. It's grand, which means that they have a lot to prepare.

"People like us don't need to be very complicated, just simple." Han Qingquan suddenly turned to Han Shuier when he said this, "Shui'er, have you done all the things that need to be returned?"

"It's all done. Two sets of clothes, as well as quilt covers and pillowcases, have been embroidered." Han Shui'er said shyly.

These things have nothing to do with Han Qianluo, she still ate quietly at the side, and when Han Shuier finished speaking, she asked: "Then shall we entertain them for lunch?"

"That's definitely necessary. It can't be omitted, and it can't be too economical. It needs to be done better." Han Qingquan said, "There should be four of them."

Han Qianluo originally thought that many people would come, but when he heard this sentence, he said casually: "There are not many people, and that's very simple."

"Although there are not many people, our rules must not be less," Han Qingquan stopped here, even the movement of eating, his left hand propped his chin, and his right hand lightly lit on the table. Su Si said, "A total of nine dishes are needed."

Han Qianluo saw that his elder brother was having a headache, so he volunteered and said, "Brother, just tell me that I need a few vegetarian dishes and a few meat dishes. As for what to cook, let me figure it out."

"That's right, you've always been good at cooking these things." Han Qingquan suddenly realized, "Five meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and two soups."

Han Qianluo thought for a while and said, "Then I won't set up a stall tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Han Qingquan had a different opinion: "You should go to set up a stall as usual, it's not good for you to be at home when they come, just come back earlier."

While lying on the bed at night, Han Qianluo thought about the dishes for the next day. She felt that the problem of the dishes couldn't be simpler. She used to be a person who loved food and studied a lot of recipes , so these few dishes are completely out of the question.

The next morning, Han Qianluo only set it up for a while, and closed the stall early. Although the stall was closed early, the tofu was almost sold out, and there was not much left.The middle-aged peddler next to her saw her closing the stall so early, and asked curiously: "Why did the stall close so early today? Some people are only here now?"

"There are guests at home, so you have to go back early." Han Qianluo said with a smile.

"Then you should go back sooner." The peddler said with a smile.

After packing up his things, Han Qianluo came to the pork stall again.The butcher peddler asked enthusiastically, "Miss, do you want to buy meat? Thirteen Wen a catty."

"Isn't it eleven cents a catty?" Han Qianluo recalled that the pork that elder brother bought last time was eleven cents a catty, "Why did it increase so much?"

The peddler immediately put on a righteous expression, and exaggeratedly said: "Girl, how could it be eleven cents a catty? , if you buy it for eleven cents, then you will lose money."

Han Qianluo thought about it in his heart, and said, "Let's weigh three catties." It seemed like a lot to say, but when the peddler weighed three catties of pork and handed it to Han Qianluo, it would be easy to hold it in his hand. Only a little, very little.

Putting the pork into the basket, Han Qianluo was just about to leave when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a page of pig lungs hanging on the side, and remembered the sliced ​​lung soup he used to eat, so he asked by the way: "Boss, How much is this page of lungs?"

"If you want, take the ten cents." The peddler replied indifferently.

Han Qianluo spent another ten renminbi to buy a page of lungs, and then quickly bought other things, of course there are ingredients, and then went back, when passing Liu Xingzhi's place, the boy at the door greeted her with a smile : "Miss Han, why did you go back so early today?"

"I have something to do at home, so I have to go back early." After Han Qianluo finished speaking, he didn't stay here as usual, and hurried back.

When I went back, I found that there were a lot of things in the main hall of the house, all packed in mahogany boxes, or wrapped in red cloth, and neatly placed in the main hall.

In the main hall, there are still four people kneeling, sitting on both sides of the main hall.After Han Qianluo came back, he didn't go into the house to disturb, but quietly went to the kitchen and started to prepare lunch.

As soon as Han Qianluo walked into the kitchen, other people walked in. She turned around in surprise and saw that it was the second aunt Wang, to be more precise, Han Wang, and the second cousin Shaoyao and the third cousin Mudan .

"Second aunt, cousin." Han Qianluo greeted her.

With the help of the three of them, they can cut and cook vegetables at the same time, which is much faster.Shaoyao lit the fire, Mudan went to wash the vegetables, and when it came to the place of cooking, Han Wang naturally wanted to take charge of the cooking. Seeing this, Han Qianluo quickly said, "Second Aunt, let me cook."

Han Wang didn't refuse either, and happily went to chop vegetables.But this is more in line with Han Qianluo's wishes. She was worried that the second aunt would be stubborn in cooking, but she didn't expect it to be completely different from what she expected.

Han Qianluo didn't plan to make stir-fry. After all, there is no "stir-fry" cooking method at this time. It's not a big deal to cook some stir-fry in private. She thinks that on this very formal and important day, it's better to use those cooking methods that are already available now. way to cook.

The one who is burning the fire is Shaoyao, 15 years old this year, already engaged, and will get married in a while. She is just a very ordinary country girl, nothing special.

"Qianluo, why do you cook like this?" Shaoyao said in surprise.
