The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 94 Autumn Harvest
When he was lying on the bed at night, Han Qianluo felt that there was no pain in his whole body, especially his arms. Thinking that he would continue tomorrow, he suddenly felt more pain in his arms. In order to avoid being unable to work tomorrow, he massaged himself After a while, I don't know when I finally fell asleep.

It took a total of seven days for Han Shuming's rice to be harvested. By the seventh day, Han Qianluo had already adapted to such intense labor and didn't feel unbearable. However, looking at the darkened skin on his face, he still Some depressed.

After harvesting Han Shuming's rice, it was not evening yet, so Han Shuming said, "Let's continue harvesting your rice."

"Brother, we have to go and get back the guy we ordered." Han Qianluo interrupted quickly.

"Then I'll pick up yours tomorrow. Go and get the things back first," Han Shuming said.

Han Qianluo originally wanted her to go get it with her elder brother, but Han Qingquan said, "Xiao Luo, you can rest at home, I can go get it back by myself."

Han Qianluo didn't want to move at all now, and naturally he wouldn't rush to go, so he readily agreed, and started making cakes after resting at home.

It has to be said that Han Qingquan went alone faster, and he came back with his things before the sun had fully set, gently put the things in the yard, and said loudly: "Xiao Luo, the things are back, you come and see."

Han Qianluo hurriedly put down the work in his hands and walked into the yard. He saw the ready-made threshing tools in the yard at a glance. He walked over and took a closer look. It was exactly the same as her request.

"Brother, go and cut some rice and come back. Let me try this tool and see how it works?" Han Qianluo said, and hurried into the kitchen. The firewood was put back into the stove.

Soon Han Qingquan cut the rice back: "Xiaoluo, I'll light the fire, you go and try that tool." Han Qianluo stood up and asked Han Qingquan to light the fire, while he went to the yard to try the tool.This tool requires both hands and feet. Han Qianluo tried it, but it was just as she expected. The speed was a little faster, and the most important thing was that it saved a lot of effort.

The next morning, Han Qianluo still went to deliver the cake first, and then came back to harvest the rice. When he walked to his rice field, he found that there were many people surrounded by his rice field. Han Qianluo was surprised, what happened? Well, it's usually only when something goes wrong that there will be so many spectators.

Han Qianluo ran over quickly, walked in and saw that there was nothing wrong, just harvesting rice normally, and then threshing the rice, but after a closer look, Han Qianluo understood why there were so many people around here up.

"Get out of the way, you two, and I'll try to see if this thing is really that good." A man from the same neighborhood said.

The two men who were using the threshing tools had to step aside and let the man who had just spoken go over to try it.The man used this tool to thresh rice, and then sighed twice: "It's really good, it saves effort and is fast." Then he turned his head and said to Han Shuming: "Shuming, lend me this thing too, okay. no?"

"It's not mine, it's Qingquan's." Han Shuming said with a smile while standing aside.

The man turned to Han Qingquan again and said, "Qingquan, can you lend me something?"

"Brother Wang, you have also seen that my rice harvest has not been finished." Han Qingquan replied.

The man didn't care at all: "Your family will harvest such a little rice in two days, so you can lend it to me when the time comes."

"Okay, if Brother Wang hasn't finished collecting it by then, I will definitely lend it to you." Han Qingquan said with a smile.

Seeing this, other people quickly said: "Qingquan, you only lend it to him, and you can't do it if you don't lend it to us."

"That's right, lend it to us as well."

People around all expressed their desire to borrow this tool. Mrs. Wang, who had been harvesting rice before, suddenly stood up and said, "Such a good thing can't be lent to you for free."

"We all know each other. We just borrowed it, and it's not like we won't pay it back. Do we still need to collect money?"

"That's right, we all know each other well."

……

After arguing for a long time, the onlookers finally left, and Han Qianluo and the others continued to harvest rice.Although those people have left, it does not mean that it is quiet here.As soon as those people left, Wang quickly asked, "Qianluo, where did you buy this thing?"

Hearing Wang's question, Han Qianluo hesitated. What happened last time made her full of distrust towards Wang, and she always felt that this Wang was thinking of something bad.But before she could figure out how to answer, Wang suddenly realized: "Is this the custom-made thing you mentioned yesterday?"

"Yes." There was no other way, Han Qianluo could only admit it.

"Oh, how did you come up with it? You can help me make one too. This thing is really convenient." Wang said without any scruples.

Han Qianluo cursed in his heart: What a thick skin.But he couldn't answer that way, he could only say with a smile: "Second Aunt, this is very expensive to make." It meant that he didn't want to help her.

But Mrs. Wang will not give up so easily, and then said: "Don't worry, I will give you the money, and you can make one for my family."

There was no way, Han Qianluo could only reply: "Okay then, I'll ask someone to make one for you when I'm free later."

In the evening, just as Han Qianluo was returning home by hand, Mrs. Li from the next door ran over.Han Qianluo asked while washing his hands, "Aunt Li, what's the matter?"

"Qianluo, I heard that you have a millet threshing tool, which is fast and easy. Can you lend it to me for home use when you run out?" Li Shi asked.

Han Qianluo didn't even think about it, and agreed immediately: "No problem, Aunt Li."

"Then thank you Qianluo."

It took only three days for Han Qianluo's family to harvest the rice. On the evening of the day when the rice was harvested, Mrs. Li came to borrow the threshing tools, and let other people come to borrow the threshing tools for nothing. .

After the rice is taken back, it only needs to be dried in the sun. Now it is the remaining season. If there is no accident, it will be dried and stored in a few days.

But the rice harvest is not over yet, there are other crops to be harvested.When having dinner at night, Han Qianluo discussed with Han Qingquan: "Brother, what shall we charge tomorrow?"

"Take back the beans first, you can just stay at home to dry the millet, and there are not many beans planted, so I can collect them by myself." Han Qingquan said.

Drying millet is a very easy job in such a busy farming season, and you only need to turn the rice occasionally.However, it is impossible for Han Qianluo to only do this one thing. When he is free, he plans to learn to weave straw sandals. It is summer, and it is really hot to wear cloth shoes. At this time, there are no sandals, only straw sandals.

Han Qianluo didn't know how to weave straw sandals before, so he still needs to learn now. It's just that it's the busy season of farming, and there is basically no time. Han Qianluo can only let go of this idea and plan to wait two days before going Find someone to teach you how to weave straw sandals.

After nearly a month of busy work, I finally took back all the crops in the field.Seeing the dried and packaged food, Han Qianluo felt satisfied.

After finally finishing his work, Han Qianluo planned to cook a delicious meal to reward himself, so he asked Han Qingquan to kill the chicken and rabbit before going out in the morning.

After delivering the cake, Han Qianluo went to the market to buy ingredients. She planned to make roasted chicken with mushrooms, so she wanted to buy mushrooms. She just walked around the market, but she didn't see any mushrooms for sale.

"Aunt Han."

Han Qianluo heard a familiar voice, it was Tao An, so she turned her head and looked around for the source of the voice. Before she could find the source of the beating, she felt someone pat her from behind. Looking back, it was indeed Tao An and his mother. Dow.

"Sister Tao, you also come to buy vegetables." Han Qianluo said.

Dow walked beside Han Qianluo, and the two walked side by side, talking while walking. After a while, Dow bought the vegetables she needed, but Han Qianluo still couldn't find the mushrooms.

"Sister Han, why didn't you buy anything?" Dow asked puzzled.

Han Qianluo said helplessly, "I want to buy shiitake mushrooms, but I haven't found them after searching for a few times."

"I remember that there are dried shiitake mushrooms in the West Market, why don't you go to the West Market to have a look?" Dow suggested.

Han Qianluo and Tao Shi separated to go to the West Market, searched around the West Market, and found a shop selling dry goods, which advertised that they bought shiitake mushrooms, and finally bought the shiitake mushrooms smoothly, Han Qianluo continued to buy The next thing, the next few things are very easy to sell, and I bought it after a while, so I plan to go home.

After walking a few steps, Han Qianluo saw a lot of people gathered together and didn't know what they were looking at, so his curiosity was soaring, and he planned to squeeze in to see the excitement.

Han Qianluo was short in stature, so he could easily squeeze in.Surrounded by these people was a middle-aged man and a child. The child was dressed in tatters, and the clothes on his body were all patches. The clothes on the middle-aged man were quite good. One could tell that he was a rich man. of.

"What's the matter?" Han Qianluo asked a woman next to him with some doubts.

This woman is enthusiastic, and she can also be said to be a gossip. In short, she is very active in answering Han Qianluo's questions: "This is selling someone, this man is the uncle of the child, and he wants to sell the child. .”

"Sell?" Han Qianluo's jaw dropped in surprise when he heard the woman say this, "Isn't he afraid of being arrested by the government?" It was hard for Han Qianluo to understand that human trafficking was so aboveboard.

The woman looked at Han Qianluo as if she was looking at an alien: "This child's parents are already dead, how could he be arrested?"
