The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 21 Harvest the Wheat

It's not the first time for Han Qianluo to sell wild vegetables. This is the location every day, and many people are already familiar with it, so people came to buy wild vegetables one after another soon, and it didn't take long for them to buy all of them. .

Although the wild vegetables were sold out, Han Qianluo did not leave, but continued to stay here and listen to Liu Xingzhi's arrival.A peddler next to him was a little curious when he saw it: "Girl, are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes, I made an appointment with someone yesterday and asked him to come here to find me, but he hasn't come yet." Han Qianluo said and looked towards the distance of the street, hoping to see the figure he was looking forward to.

Sure enough, Liu Xingzhi's thin figure appeared not far away, walking slowly towards Han Qianluo. He was wearing ordinary burlap clothes, and his hair was wrapped in a piece of cloth instead of a crown. .

From the memory of the original owner, Han Qianluo knew that the crown at this time could not be worn by everyone. It was a sign of status and something that noble men could only wear. Ordinary people could only wrap their hair with a piece of cloth. Differentiate social classes.

Although Liu Xingzhi's attire looked like the most ordinary commoner, it was just an attire. Compared with the real ordinary people around him, he gave people a completely different feeling, gentle and gentle, outstanding.

Han Qianlu hurried forward with his backpack on his back, and shouted with a smile, "Brother Xingzhi."

"Some things are delayed today, and Miss Qianluo has been waiting for a long time." Liu Xingzhi said gently.

It wasn't until this time that Han Qianluo suddenly realized that Liu Xingzhi didn't come by himself, and there was a big man behind him, the same big man who followed Liu Xingzhi when he first met Liu Xingzhi.

"It didn't take long. I just sold out the wild vegetables. Brother Xingzhi came just in time." Han Qianluo said with a smile, trying to make himself a better impression on Liu Xingzhi.

"Let's go sit and talk there." Liu Xingzhi pointed to the teahouse yesterday, and then led Han Qianluo over there.

After the owner of the teahouse went down, Han Qianluo took out the sugar in a small clay pot, put it on the table, and said to Liu Xingzhi, "This is the sugar I mentioned yesterday."

Liu Xingzhi didn't speak immediately, but opened the lid of the pottery pot, stretched out his fingers with some care and doubts, dipped a little white sugar into his mouth and tasted it, and then the expression on his face suddenly changed to Shock.

"Miss Qianluo, you made this thing?" Liu Xingzhi looked at Han Qianluo in disbelief.

Seeing Liu Xingzhi's expression, Han Qianluo felt a little proud, but he suppressed the pride and excitement in his heart, nodded deliberately and said, "What do you think, brother Xingzhi?" On this point, Han Qianluo is An ordinary woman.

"That's right, it's really like sand, and it's so sweet. I've never seen such sugar." Liu Xingzhi praised.

Seeing that he liked it, Han Qianluo quickly said, "Give this little thing back to Brother Xingzhi."

However, Han Qianluo wanted to give something to Liu Xingzhi, but Liu Xingzhi was unwilling to accept it and refused: "Your family is not rich, how can I ask for your things." He said and pushed the clay pot containing sugar back In front of Han Qianluo.

"This thing is not worth much. It's just made of something that grows in the ground. It's worthless." Han Qianluo felt that he was not lying. It is indeed worthless now. As for the future, who knows?

"Since this is the case, then I will accept it." Liu Xingzhi said gently, "However, how this thing is made, I have never seen such sand-like sugar, it is really amazing." After finishing speaking, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly added, "I'm just talking casually, Qian Luo doesn't need to answer."

Although Han Qianluo likes Liu Xingzhi, there is still a bottom line, such things will not be told to him for the time being, this is her secret.Unless the two of them are together in the future, Han Qianluo thought a little bit wildly.

After that, the two chatted casually for a few more words, and then they parted. Han Qianluo returned home with joy, and saw Han Sanwei eating the caramel he made last time at the door, and then remembered that he had forgotten something. Things, I was so happy to enter Liu Xingzhi, and ended up forgetting about the business.

Han Qianluo originally planned to go to various shops to ask if they could accept granulated sugar, but then fell into a trap. Since this thing can rise, it means that the popularity of white granulated sugar is inevitable. Take it and sell it.

In fact, Han Qianluo was still a little hesitant, thinking that making white sugar was a bit too ostentatious, and it would be better to make caramel first, but making caramel is not only troublesome, but also not very cost-effective at present.So until now, Han Qianluo didn't have a firm idea of ​​what to do.

Han Sanwei sat on Han Qianluo's small stool, eating caramel contentedly, his eyes were lost, and he looked very satisfied. When he saw Han Qianluo came back, he quickly stood up and ran over to take the basket. look in.

Han Qianluo knew that he was looking for something to buy and eat. He was like this when he was young. When he saw his elders coming back from the market, he hurried up to look for the basket or basket.

"I didn't buy food, so I don't need to look for it." Han Qianluo said and put down the basket, a little surprised why the fourth child didn't go out to look for wild vegetables today, so he asked casually: "Why didn't Sanwei go out to look for wild vegetables today?"

Han Sanwei sat back on the small stool with some disappointment, and continued to eat caramel, a little dissatisfied: "Third sister didn't even buy anything to come back."

"After I earn more money, I'll buy you something, okay?" Han Qianluo coaxed.

Han Sanwei stopped eating the caramel, raised his head slightly as if thinking, and said after a while: "Well, Sanjie, you must not forget."

"Don't worry, Sanjie won't forget, didn't she also make candy for you when she promised to make candy for you last time?" Han Qianluo said with a smile.

"That's true." After Han Sanwei finished speaking, he carefully took the unfinished caramel into the house and hid it. He also looked like he was afraid of being seen, which made people feel a little funny and a little sad.Han Qianluo made up his mind in his heart that he must make life in this family better.

Han Qianluo found a basket and a smaller pannier, handed the basket to Han Sanwei, and said, "Okay, let's go find wild vegetables. We can only sell other things after we find wild vegetables for money. "

Han Sanwei didn't say much, took the basket and obediently followed Han Qianluo to find wild vegetables.A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the vegetables in the field were almost grown, and the wild vegetables were not very easy to sell. Han Qianluo didn't plan to sell wild vegetables anymore, so he stopped looking for wild vegetables. It just so happened that it was time to harvest them. It's time for wheat.

This morning, when everyone was sitting together for breakfast, Han Qingquan said: "The wheat is almost all yellow, and it can be harvested. Others have already started harvesting. Let's start harvesting wheat from today." After speaking, he turned his head Said to Han Sanwei, "Sanwei is also here to help, so we can't play."

"I see, big brother." Han Sanwei replied vaguely with steamed buns in his mouth.

After breakfast, Han Qingquan took out four tools that looked like sickles, and handed one to each of Han Qianluo and the others: "I've already sharpened them, so there's no need to sharpen them anymore, let's go quickly."

Han Qianluo took a sickle and followed Qingquan to the field, walked to the crop field and took a look, sure enough, the wheat was all yellow, which looked really gratifying.

However, Han Qianluo was not confused by the superficial phenomenon. He walked over to pick a wheat ear and inspected it carefully, and found that the wheat grain was not full and the wheat ear was also very small. In short, it was not as big as it seemed. Make people happy.

"Xiao Luo, hurry up and start working." Han Shuier said holding a sickle, walked to the first row and began to harvest the wheat, and his frail body was instantly submerged by the wheat, making him invisible.

When Han Qianluo and the others were harvesting wheat, there were other people harvesting wheat beside them. They were also a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman, plus a few children.

"Qingquan, your family has a good harvest this year." The middle-aged man said loudly.

"The wheat from Uncle Zhang's house is also pretty good." Han Qingquan said.

Han Qianluo is very sensitive to the harvest of wheat now. Hearing this sentence, he turned his head and looked at it reflexively, and found that the wheat of that family was worse than theirs. What Han Qingquan said was just polite words, so he ignored it and continued to harvest wheat.

After a while, someone passed by their crop field again, and when they came here, they stopped and said: "Hey, Qingquan, your wheat is the best among us. If my wheat has I'm glad you're doing so well."

Only then did Han Qianluo remember that Chunhua also said that the land her eldest brother planted is the best in the whole area. From this point of view, it seems that her family's production is really good.

However, that person just now went on to say: "Your family has too little land, otherwise, your family must be the best in our Qianyang."

Afterwards, Han Qianluo heard many people say that their wheat production was high, and she couldn't help but think of the wheat from other people's homes that she saw every time she was digging wild vegetables. It grows better, and I sigh in my heart that the output at this time is really low.

When everyone was concentrating on harvesting wheat, they suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice, and the voice was very unnatural, obviously pretending: "Qingquan, you are harvesting wheat, do you want me to help you?" ?”
