Chapter Eighty-Six: Intentional Friendship with Local Connections

Liu Paner nodded, her eyes were sincere, and she was grateful for her sister-in-law's help, "Yes, not only you, but also me." It's not appropriate for the two of us to use a bow, this is a little girl wearing. We'll have a blue one and a red headband, and I'll show you how to use them later. ”

Liu nodded, quite expectantly, "Great, I'm waiting for you to tie my hair." ”

Liu Paner is not very skilled in needlework, but she can do it slowly.

The headband is also very simple, that is, sew the good-colored satin into a thin cylinder, then turn it over, and sew a beautiful ending.

A headband is two feet long, which is enough.

Liu Paner took a comb, removed a bamboo hairpin on Liu's head, and untied Liu's hair. She first combed Liu's long hair smoothly.

Liu's hair is dark and thick, and even in old age, it is estimated that he will not worry about baldness.

Liu Paner began to braid Liu's hair from above, then interspersed with a hairband in the middle, and finally tied together after the two ends of the hairband met.

The long hair, coiled around the head, is fixed with a headband, and is good-looking, strong, and not easy to fall apart.

Li Fang was surprised and said with a smile: "Mother, the third aunt has braided your hair, but it looks good." ”

"Mmmm, good-looking, third aunt, I want such a headband too." Seeing this, Li Li made a request to Liu Paner.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "There are still rags in the basket, it's very simple, you also saw how I did it just now, now make it yourself." ”

"Thank you, Aunt San." Li Li replied, smiling and looking for the color she liked.

Although Liu couldn't see it, the daughter around him kept praising him.

Li Rong held a basin of water and said to Liu: "Auntie, look at it, it's beautiful, my mother didn't lie to you." ”

Liu lowered his head, looked at the water surface in the basin, was slightly stunned, and touched the braided hair on his head behind him, "Hey, third brother and sister, your hands are so skillful, and your hair can be so delicately braided." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled and replied modestly: "It's actually very simple, not difficult." My sister-in-law has good hair, and there is less messy hair, such braided hair is cool and good-looking. ”

Liu nodded, "That's true, in the past, my hair was coiled at the back, and it was uncomfortable to fall, and I often loosened it, especially when I was working, I had to re-tie my hair often, but it was troublesome." ”

Liu Paner smiled and said: "Anyway, it's not difficult to braid, I'll braid my sister-in-law's hair in the future, and my sister-in-law will braid it for me." ”

"Okay, then I'll braid the child's hair first, and if I can learn it, I'll make it for you." Liu said with a smile, looking at the reflection in the basin with joy.

Liu Paner yawned and went to take a nap.

In the afternoon, Liu didn't make clothes first, she felt that she would pull out the grass in the rice field with Liu Paner first.

With Liu's help, Liu Paner's speed was much faster, and by the afternoon of the next day, he had gone through a few acres of rice fields.

Liu Paner and Liu saw that it was still early, so they went to the melon field together.

Aunt Li happened to be there and was helping to pull the weeds.

Li Dazhuang caught two rabbits, and he had to give one to Liu Pan'er, "Sister-in-law, these rabbits were caught in your field." Even if you don't come, my mother will send it to your house in the evening, so you can take it quickly. ”

Aunt Li also smiled and said, "Yes, hurry up and take it back." Otherwise, we would be embarrassed to eat rabbit meat at night. ”

Seeing this, Liu Pan'er nodded, "I'll take it, and when I go to sell melons next time, I'll buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for my aunt!" ”

Aunt Li smiled, "That's okay, I'm not polite to you." I see that this melon is quite ripe and ready to be picked. Sisters, go back and get the baskets, pick the fresh ones, and sell the melons tomorrow. ”

Liu Paner also noticed that the melons at home were ripe a lot, "Sister-in-law, my aunt and I pick melons, you go back and get the basket, let Dabao come too, everyone picks together, you can hurry up." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Liu Shi should go down, and happened to meet the village chief's family on the way, "Auntie, there are a lot of ripe melons in my field, what about your family?" When to pick it? When to sell melons? ”

Zhou Cuihua smiled, "I was just going to tell you, I'll pick it right away, and I'll go to the town to sell melons tomorrow morning." ”

"That's okay, that's it, the third brother and sister think the same way." Liu replied, "I'll go back and get the basket and try to finish it as soon as possible." ”

When Liu returned home, he put on the ox cart, called his two daughters and Li Dabao, and went to pick melons together.

By the time they arrived, Liu Paner, Aunt Li, and Li Dazhuang had already picked a lot of them and put them on the ground, and there were some melon leaves on the ground, so that the skin would not be broken.

Liu carefully picked up the melon in the basket, and Li Dazhuang was so strong that he carried the basket to the bottom of the hillside and put it on the ox cart.

Last time, I picked a total of five baskets, and today the melons are ripe, and I picked eight baskets, which is more than 360 melons.

As soon as she thought that these melons would be sold out tomorrow, she would be able to have more than one or two pieces of silver, and Liu Paner felt very happy.

At the same time, Village Chief Li's family was also very happy.

This time, I picked six baskets of melons, and I was able to sell them for a lot of money.

When the people in the village saw that Liu Paner's family and the village chief's family had picked so many melons again, their eyes were red with envy, like rabbit eyes.

However, they also looked at it, and did not dare to do evil.

Not only because Liu Paner and Village Chief Li's family are not easy to mess with, but also because the people in the village are counting on planting these good melons next year. If you offend these two families, where can you get seeds?

That night, Liu Paner went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Liu Paner took Li Dabao and the village chief and his wife with Maodan, and continued to sell melons in Baisha Town!

When she arrived at the vegetable market in Dongshi, Liu Paner said to Village Chief Li: "Village Chief, my aunt and I are here to watch the stalls with our children, you carry half a basket of melons and half a basket of croissant honey, go to Zhao's Silk Village and ask if you want more?" Last time, Steward Zhao said, let's come and send it to them directly. Even if you don't want to, you can still sell it if you carry it back. ”

Originally, Liu Pan'er could go, but she was a woman after all, and under the strict situation of feudal etiquette, it was not good to come to the door directly, unless she brought Li Dabao.

If she and Li Dabao are gone, what will happen to this carload of melons?

You can't expect Village Chief Li to help their family sell melons, and Village Chief Li's family will also sell melons!

Village Chief Li thought about it and nodded, "Yuanqing's family, if you give me such a good thing, then I'm welcome." In Baisha Town, if you are not familiar with the place, you know some capable people, and when you encounter difficulties, people show us the way, that is the way to live. ”

Liu Pan'er was quite surprised, she didn't expect Village Chief Li to think so much, but there was some truth in what she said, "What the village chief said is that if we hadn't met Lord Qincha Gu at the beginning, we wouldn't have been able to settle down here." ”

"Yes, that's what I thought." Village Chief Li laughed, and quickly picked the largest and roundest melons and the well-ripened croissant honey and loaded a basket.
