The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 9 Stool
"Brother, don't you feel uncomfortable sitting like this?" Han Qianluo asked back.

Han Qingquan said with some doubts: "Don't everyone sit like this, how else can they sit?" Han Shui'er and Han Sanwei also looked at Han Qianluo in doubt.

Han Qianluo stood up and showed them by sitting on the table where they were eating. Of course, he only sat down for a while, then knelt down on the mat again, and said, "You can sit like you did just now, it will be much more comfortable, and Sitting for a long time will not be uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Han Shui'er suddenly asked, "Xiao Luo, how did you think of it?" Han Qianluo didn't expect Han Shui'er to ask such a question, and got stuck all of a sudden, not knowing how to answer.Han Qianluo's mind was spinning rapidly, and finally came up with an excuse: "Sometimes sitting is uncomfortable, so I will sit on the bed like I did just now, so I thought of it."

After Han Qianluo finished speaking, she was very nervous. She wondered if they would believe this excuse. She was still very worried that she would reveal her secrets and be exposed. Even if she was not burned to death as a monster, the family would probably not forgive a robbed The "ghost" that took over the body of their sister.

But fortunately, Han Shui'er seemed to be asking casually, not really suspicious of Han Qianluo, and said casually after listening: "Well, I also said why did you suddenly think of making a stool."

Hearing what Han Shuier said, Han Qianluo was relieved, then turned to his eldest brother Han Qingquan and said, "Brother, will you do it?"

"Let me try." Han Qingquan said.

Han Qianluo thought that he would be able to fall asleep soon after lying on the bed because he was so tired today, but the truth was just the opposite.Han Qianluo lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, the man he saw at the market today involuntarily appeared in front of him.

Han Qianluo turned on the bed for a long time, finally tossing Han Shuier unbearably, said: "Xiaoluo, what's wrong with you?" Han Qianluo turned over again, facing Han Shuier, said: "It's nothing, just can't sleep. "

"Go to bed early." Han Shui'er continued to sleep after finishing speaking.Soon Han Qianluo heard steady breathing from beside him, but Han Qianluo still couldn't fall asleep at all.Han Qianluo felt that it was love at first sight.

Having lived for more than [-] years in the previous life, Han Qianluo has never liked anyone, and of course he doesn't know what it's like to be in love, but Han Qianluo feels that he just fell in love with that man.

After thinking about it, Han Qianluo slowly fell asleep, and was awakened by the crowing rooster the next morning.After breakfast, Han Qianluo went out with a basket to dig wild vegetables for himself.

Han Qianluo didn't guess too many wild vegetables, and he didn't pick any more wild vegetables if they were enough for a day.When I went back, I happened to see Han Qingquan chopping the tree back.Han Qianluo planned to make sugar, and the first thing he needed was sugarcane. Although beets are also available, they have not been passed on yet, and they are still in their original growth places.

"Brother, do you know who has sugar cane?" Han Qianluo asked.

Han Qingquan saw the branches of the trees and said, "It seems that Grandma Zhou's house is planting sugarcane, go and have a look."

Han Qianluo also knew Granny Zhou. She was also from Qianyangli. She had two sons, and both sons had shops in the capital. Their family conditions were very good.Originally, the two sons also wanted to take their mother to the capital to enjoy the blessings, but the old man got used to it and didn't want to move to the capital.Although the distance is not very far.

When the conditions of Granny Zhou's house are good, they will naturally grow some things they like, or weird things, unlike ordinary people who plant some high-yield crops that can fill their stomachs.

Han Qianluo's home was not close to Granny Zhou's. Han Qianluo felt that he had walked for at least ten minutes before arriving at Granny Zhou's house.Grandma Zhou's house is the only house in Qianyangli with blue bricks and gray tiles, which is in stark contrast to the other thatched houses around.

The yard of Granny Zhou's house is also built with bricks, and even the gate is painted red, which is very eye-catching.At the moment the gate was tightly closed, Han Qianluo walked over and knocked on the courtyard gate, but no one answered.Han Qianluo knocked hard again, and finally heard an old man's voice from inside: "Who is it?"

"Grandma Zhou." Han Qianluo shouted loudly, worried that the old man would not be able to hear.

With a "squeak", the door in front of him opened, and Han Qianluo saw a hale and hearty old man, probably in his 60s.There is a big difference between the age of 60 at this time and the age of 60 in later generations.At this time, aging is very fast, and most 60-year-olds already look trembling.

"It's Xiaoluo, come in quickly." Granny Zhou said.

Han Qianluo walked into the house with Granny Zhou, and they knelt on the mat facing each other.Han Qianluo glanced at it. Granny Zhou's family seemed to be much better off than Han's.Although the things in the main room are the same, but the table in front of it is carved with hollow patterns on the edges, and there are also patterns on the four legs.I don't want Han Qianluo's house, let alone the patterns, they are all old and out of shape.

"Grandma Zhou, I quite heard that your family planted sugar cane, is it true?" Han Qianluo asked.

"It's true that I planted some sugarcane, I'll get you one." Granny Zhou stood up to get the sugarcane as she spoke.

Han Qianluo quickly stopped her and said, "Grandma Zhou, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Granny Zhou then sat down again: "What's the matter?"

"Grandma, I want to buy some sugarcane." Han Qianluo said.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Granny Zhou said a little angrily: "What are you talking about buying? Are you cheating on me? I watched you grow up. If you want to eat, just take a few back."

Han Qianluojue was not sure whether what Granny Zhou said was polite or true, so let's just think it was polite.Han Qianluo smiled and said, "Grandma Zhou, maybe I will buy from you in the future. If you don't charge me, I won't dare to come here again."

"You girl." Granny Zhou smiled and said, "I'll get it for you as much as you want."

Han Qianluo thought about it, and it is better to try a little less first, and then buy more to try after making sure there is no problem.So he said: "It's enough to have three."

After hearing this, Granny Zhou went into the house to get sugar cane, and came out with three sugar canes after a while.Granny Zhou handed the sugar cane to Han Qianluo.Han Qianluo hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, how much is it?"

Granny Zhou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Ten cents is enough, and they are all grown by myself."

Han Qianluo frowned. She knew that the price must be cheap. Although it was home-grown sugar cane, there were not many sugar canes in this place at this time, so the price was actually not as cheap as home-grown vegetables.However, Han Qianluo didn't say much, otherwise Granny Zhou might be really angry, and she could just send some of the sugar to Granny Zhou after she made the sugar.

Han Qianluo paid ten cents and hurried back with the sugar cane. She couldn't wait to make the sugar.When I got home, I saw that Han Qingquan had packed up the four legs of the stool and was planning to make the noodles for the stool.

Han Qianluo put the sugar cane aside, and was not in a hurry to make sugar. He ran over to watch Han Qingquan make the stool. trouble.

Soon, Han Qingquan made a square stool, and then seemed to be stumped, and kept gesticulating with the four stool legs.After a while, Han Qingquan seemed to have figured out a way, and started working again, and soon a stool was made.

Although this stool is not beautiful, Han Qianluo is still very happy, because he can finally get rid of the situation of kneeling on the ground at every turn.Han Qianluo happily took over the freshly baked stool, and couldn't wait to sit on it.

"Look at you happy." Han Qingquan said jokingly.

"Brother," Han Qianluo was in a good mood, even speaking in a coquettish tone, "you can try it too." Han Qingquan didn't refuse, and sat on the stool to try it.For Han Qianluo, such a stool is a habit, but for Han Qingquan and the others, such a seat is very new.Sitting on the stool for a while, then nodded: "Sitting like this is indeed more comfortable than kneeling."

"Brother, shall we make more stools like this?" Han Qianluo took the opportunity to say.

Han Qingquan realized the benefits of this kind of seat, so he agreed happily, and then started to work.

Han Qianluo happily sat on the stool, and Han Shui'er, who was weaving at one side, also saw the situation in the yard, and said loudly, "Xiao Luo, take it here and let me try." Han Qianluo hurriedly took the stool over For Han Shui'er, she wished that everyone in the family would accept the stool, so that she wouldn't have to kneel in the future.

"It's really good." Han Shui'er also praised.

At this time, a head came out from the nearby yard, it was the widow Li Shi, and she said with a smile: "I saw you doing it early in the morning, what did you do at this time?"

"Aunt Li, we made a seat, do you want to try it?" Han Qianluo asked in a good mood.Mrs. Li is not a polite person either, so she quickly said, "Show me."

Mrs. Li took the stool, looked a little puzzled, and then sat on it for an interview.Han Qianluo estimated that she had been observing in the yard for a long time.Mrs. Li took it and tried it, and then said: "It's really good, I will ask someone to make a seat like this anytime."

Han Qianluo didn't answer the conversation, and after taking over his own stool, he stopped worrying about this matter, and instead thought about making sugar.This matter is the most important thing at present. If it succeeds, not to mention the rich and powerful, at least my family can get rid of the current impoverished life.
