69 The Bitterness of the Plum Blossoms

On the other side, Sun Dianfu prepared for it, and returned to the village with Mr. Hu the next morning, and they went directly to Lizheng and said that they wanted to collect wool.

Rizheng didn't react at first, thinking that they were going to buy sheep. Later, when he saw Sun Dianfu take out the tools for shaving, he realized that he wanted to collect wool.

The villagers who came to see the excitement were shocked, and the sheep keepers felt that they had taken a big advantage.

"Why do you still collect wool?" There were curious women talking to each other.

"I don't know, have you heard? It's the harvest of Naluojia Village, it must be useful, do you have sheep at home? Hurry up and take it out, don't look back too late, people won't accept it. ”

"Oh, then I have to hurry home to take the sheep, we are in charge of the smell of the smell, I don't want to raise it next year, look at it like this, not only have to raise, but also have to raise more." It's much better than selling meat. ”

"Steward Sun", other villagers didn't dare to come up and ask, so Li Zheng had to ask cheekily.

"You say", as long as Sun Dianfu doesn't deliberately release that evil qi, he still looks like a very honest farmer.

"Steward Sun, do you only collect this wool this time, or are you going to harvest it all year round?" Rizheng asked.

"This year's time is not very suitable, I am afraid that the sheep will be frozen, the owner said, only a small part will be collected, and when the end of winter and early spring comes, come and collect it again, if the owner's business is done, it should be collected all year round", Sun Dianfu conveyed Luo Xiaoqiao's thoughts, and he didn't say too much.

"That's great", Li Zheng couldn't help but be a little happy, although their village is a little stronger than the surrounding villages, and they can raise some livestock, but the overall life is not so good, if they can really sell wool to make money, there is another way out.

"Is that how much you want?" The bold villager also came up and asked.

"It depends on the situation, but we can set the price first, Mr. Hu is from the village, you can write an agreement later, we will come over later, it will be ten cents a pound of wool, if any of you think it is appropriate, go and sign it, and when you come back, we will give priority to his family." Sun Dianfu said.

"Boom ......", as soon as he said this, the villagers were almost red-eyed, "Old man Hu, hurry up, take out the agreement, we can't write, do you have a handprint?" I sell wool, and I said that I would be fine."

After a while, the inner and outer layers of the enclosure were three floors.

Here, Sun Dianfu watched the villagers weigh and collect the wool and give the silver, and Mr. Hu over there beckoned everyone to sign the agreement, which was very lively for a while.

The reputation of Luojia Village has long been spread, and in the surrounding villages, there is a general saying that there is nothing unreliable about what Luojia Village wants to do, and they just drink soup.

Sun Dianfu went out for a long time, and then took back three pockets of wool.

The villagers in Mr. Hu's village are so enthusiastic that they can't wait to shave off the fur of a sheep and give it to them.

If he hadn't emphasized again and again, he would have to go later, and the sheep would have been frozen, and the back would not have been able to supply it, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?

The villagers gave up and left some wool for each sheep for the winter, otherwise this winter would be a nightmare for the sheep.

As soon as Sun Dianfu returned to the courtyard, Luo Xiaoni noticed it. The main reason is that it really stinks, and the unique fishy smell of wool is spread everywhere.

"Uncle Sun, did you take back the wool?" Luo Xiaoni asked, and then called out to Xiao Qiao and called her out of the house.

"Drink", Luo Xiaoqiao was almost smoked: "Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, hurry up, send this to the workshop that no one in the south first." ”

"Okay", Sun Dianfu went out with the cloth bag again.

"It stinks, Little Joe, what do you want this wool for?" Luo Xiaoni asked.

"You ask Aunt Wei and a few other women to come with me with hot water and a big wooden bucket, and you'll know later", Luo Xiaoqiao blinked, picked up the items that had been prepared a long time ago and went to the workshop.

Luo Xiaoni looked at her pretending to be mysterious, she was very curious, and after a while, she beckoned everyone to follow.

Luo Xiaoqiao asked them to pour hot water into the wooden barrel, and several people understood that she was going to wash wool.

The wool that had just been retrieved was dirty, covered with grass and mud, and even some of it had droppings.

"Xiao Qiao, it's useless to wash this, the wool smells sassy, and it can't be removed", Aunt Wei chatted with her while washing.

"It's okay, I'll play tricks for you later," Luo Xiaoqiao said as she added plant ashes, soaphorn water, and other things she had prepared in advance.

There was no detergent and deodorant, and just thinking about the substitute almost made her bald, but it seemed to work okay.

They tossed five buckets of water in total to get the wool almost done, and there was not much mutton fat sticking to it.

Then put it in the sun to expose it, get some activated charcoal, and wrap it together to further deodorize.

Luo Xiaoni looked at the wool spread out in the sun, and finally came to her senses: "Xiao Qiao, you don't want to weave cloth with wool, do you?" ”

"Smart", Luo Xiaoqiao nodded approvingly.

"It's okay to look at", Aunt Wei also pinched up the wool one by one to see, after washing, it glowed white and a little curly, maybe it could really weave cloth.

"Cloth made of wool is definitely warmer than cotton, let's go back and study it, spin a piece and try it"

Luo Xiaoqiao stretched his waist a little sore, this afternoon, it was really not easy.

"Let's go, hang it first, and I'll figure out how to get it later."

"I'm going to see Aunt Dashan", Luo Xiaoni said with a blushing face.

"Is it to look at Aunt Dashan, or to see Brother Zhiping, eldest sister?"

Luo Xiaoni ran away without replying, leaving Aunt Wei to cover her mouth.

Luo Xiaoqiao went to look at the wheat planted again, and it was almost time to sprout.

In these three acres of greenhouses, onions, ginger and garlic have been planted, as well as common vegetable seedlings such as cabbage. In addition, a small plot of land was opened and planted with chili peppers.

Luo Xiaoqiao remembered that when Wang Jinqiao gave her chili seeds, she looked happy as if she had picked up a treasure. After a while, he estimated that he would not be able to close his mouth.

I was delayed for a long time, and it was almost late when I got home.

As soon as Luo Xiaoqiao pushed open the courtyard door, he felt a little wrong, and his chimney was not smoking as usual.

Luo Xiaoqiao saw Grandma Luo and the others sitting in the middle of the courtyard, Luo Xiaoni's eyes were red, and her heart suddenly pinched: "Sister, what's wrong?" Brother Zhiping bullied you? ”

"No, don't talk nonsense", Luo Xiaoni slapped her.

"So what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

It doesn't matter if you don't say it, as soon as Luo Xiaoni's tears are spoken, they fall down like beads with broken threads.

"Hurry up, what's going on?" , Luo Xiaoqiao was a little anxious.

"Second sister, let me tell you", Luo Niuniu was also at home after school, the children were very fast, and they practiced martial arts with Ming Yi, and there was already a trace of heroism between their eyebrows.

"Well, I'll listen, hurry up," Luo Xiaoqiao urged.

"It's Bao Xuedong, Uncle Bao's family. Isn't he lame? Grandma Bao felt that it was a drag on the family, so she had to tell Sister Meihua to a widower to exchange money for money to subsidize the family. Sister Meihua is one year younger than the eldest sister, I heard that the widower, the previous wife was also killed by him"

After Luo Niuniu finished speaking, he was also a little depressed.

"Their family has been in trouble for a long time, and the old lady has made up her mind to pay attention, and it doesn't matter if anyone says it. Tomorrow, the family is going to pick up people, and Sister Meihua can't think about it, so she jumped into the well. Fortunately, Aunt Huang saw it and asked someone to fish it up, and it will still be lying down."

When Luo Xiaoni heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable, and her tears fell down her eyes.

She had a very good relationship with Meihua, when the Luo family was poor, Meihua secretly saved her own rations for her, and would rather go back and be beaten and scolded by her grandmother.

Now, she herself has a good marriage, but that kind-hearted plum blossom is going to end up in such a pitiful situation.
