《Ancient Wife [ DANMEI MTL ]》36: Too Much Helplessness!
Advertisement
The livestock in the village were so active every day, which made Liang Han feel the harmony between nature and people, and at the same time he felt that he had to endure if he really wanted to sleep in.
After a while of chirping and dog barking.
Because Liang Xiaoshu and Zhang Qingzhu didn't go out to sell vegetables today, he didn't have to get up early in the morning, so he slept late. In a daze, he didn't know how long he slept, and suddenly he thought that there was a child at home.
As he was about to get up, he yawned a little with emotion, "I finally got enough sleep today."
After getting up, it felt colder than before.
After putting on the cotton-padded clothes, Liang Han got out of bed.
As soon as the door opened, the outside had turned into a silver-white world. It was exactly what he thought: it snowed.
He couldn't help looking up at the roof, for fear that the roof would collapse if the snow fell too much.
After all, it was an old dilapidated house, so he couldn't help but worry.
Taking out the bamboo hat and putting it on, Liang Han went to the yard to check the thickness of the snow on the roof.
He planned to go to Uncle Liang's house in the middle of the morning to borrow a ladder to sweep the snow.
Even if the snow is still falling, the snow has to be swept away first to avoid any real accidents.
Glancing at the room where Xiao Qier was sleeping, the door was still closed, so he probably hadn't gotten up yet. Thinking that it's cold today, let him sleep a little longer.
Wake him up after breakfast is ready.
After entering the kitchen, Liang Han packed himself up and took out the meat he bought yesterday. A piece of fat is used to refine oil. Although meat oil is not healthy to eat, it is not eaten much.
Moreover, it is more fragrant to stir-fry vegetarian vegetables with meat oil. The others were just some spare ribs, and some bones, which looked like a lot, but didn't have much meat.
Liang Han first refined the fat meat, and the strong fragrance wafted from the kitchen to the yard.
The awake little beggar smelled the fragrance and felt greedy. It was a little cold, and he missed the warmth of the quilt, but the owner had already woken up, and he felt that it was not good to continue lying down.
Putting on his clothes and opening the door, a biting coldness rushed towards him. He closed the door again, keeping the cold air out of the room.
It was not easy for him to go out when it snowed, and he didn't know what to do, so he went back to bed.
He was very worried about how he would go on such a snowy day. He felt that Liang Han would not be willing to take him in all the time, and it was time to leave. It's just that it's too cold today, and his cotton-padded coat doesn't have much protection against the cold at all, so he doesn't want to go out at all.
In the kitchen, Liang Han fry the oil residue and radish and cabbage, and then burn the porridge in a pot to warm up the steamed buns of Lianghe noodles.
The breakfast was cooked quickly.
After it was done, Liang Han came to Xiao Qi'er's room and patted the door, "Are you awake?"

As soon as he finished asking, the door was opened, and Xiao Qi'er stood at the door.
Liang Han glanced at the open-toed cotton shoes on his feet, and walked into the snow to suffer.
Then he said to him, "It's cold outside, so stay in the house. I'll bring you the food, how about you eat in the house?"
Anyway, the child will definitely be uncomfortable if he eats with him, so let's let him eat.
He eats at home by himself.
Xiao Qi'er didn't speak, but nodded cautiously as an agreement.
Liang Han brought him the meal, and took two more steamed buns, afraid that he would not be full but dared not say it. Then he got some hot water for him, "Wash your face before eating. Put the tableware and chopsticks in the house after eating. I'll come and collect them. If your shoes are wet, you won't be able to wear them."
When he saw Liang Han go out, he whispered, "Thank you... Thank you."
Liang Han turned around and smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Liang Han returned to the kitchen. It was too cold today, so he did not deliberately bring the food to the main room. to eat.
Biting the fragrant steamed buns and eating vegetables, he was thinking about what to do today.
After breakfast, Liang Han took a hoe into the planting space. He needed to turn over the ground before planting cotton.
He had already treated the cottonseed before, and now he can plant it directly.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Liang Han went to Uncle Liang's house. he told Uncle Liang about the fact that he took in a little beggar last night, and then asked Aunt Liang.
"Auntie, do you have any clothes that children don't wear at home? My shoes are also leaking."
The little beggar was not tall, only about six or seven years old. He also just tried to ask if there was any clothes for the kid to wear.
However, he felt that the possibility was not high.
After all, everyone lived a very economical life. If the big one wore the small one for the small one, even if they could stay, they would not be able to wear it. So he didn't expect too much, thinking about how to get the child warmer clothes.
The Jiang family was surprised that Liang Han would kindly take in a little beggar.
Thinking about it, Liang Han has really changed a lot recently. In addition, she has benefited from her own family.
She finds Liang Han much more pleasing to the eye, "Xiao Zhi and their clothes are not left."
If you can wear it, she will give it to her family, too.
The old ones that can't be worn are also made into soles.
"Hongdan is wearing a small cotton coat, you see..." The little beggar is a boy, and he don't know if Liang Han wants it.
"That's okay, I just don't know if it's the right size. Auntie, you can find it and I'll give it to him to try." Liang Han felt that in this case, it wouldn't matter much. Anyway, it's still a child, so it doesn't matter if you wear a girl's clothes, as long as just don't freeze.
Jiang Shi went to get the clothes, and Uncle Liang mentioned something to Liang Han. "Xiao Han, your uncle mentioned to me recently that he also wanted to do the bean sprouts business together. What do you think..."

His second brother has mentioned it to him many times. Yes, but he didn't dare to agree, and said he wanted to ask Liang Han for him. But he knew that Liang Han's relationship with his second brother was not very good, and it was unlikely that he would be willing to let the second brother do this business.
But after all, it was his second brother, and he also hoped that he would be well, so he couldn't help but ask.
Liang Han paused, and realized that the title of uncle referred to the original owner's uncle Liang Qingshou.
Unlike Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang Qingshou was very disgusted with Liang Han, and because of his stingy personality, he always ignored Liang Han.
Liang Han didn't have a good relationship with everyone in their family.
Liang Han himself was reluctant to ask him to share the business with the other party.
Moreover, if the person of the other party knows the method of growing bean sprouts, it may be spread out. Uncle Liang's character is not as strong as that of Uncle Liang Qingshou.
Liang Xiaoshu heard the meaning of Liang Han's words, although he also wanted to say something nice for his second brother, but when he thought that the other party's family has always been not friendly to Liang Han, and if there is something good, it will benefit, Liang Han felt in his heart.
Certainly not happy.
In addition, Liang Han's house really has no place to put the water tank. If he tells the second brother how to sprout bean sprouts, there is no guarantee that the other party will not spread it out.
If Liang Han's earning money is delayed again, Uncle Liang will feel sorry.
After all, if Liang Han can save some money, he might be able to marry a daughter-in-law. If it is really delayed, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, Uncle Liang didn't say anything, but it was a pity that such a chance to reconcile the relationship between the two was a pity.
Liang Han took the clothes and the ladder back home, and gave the clothes to Xiao Qier first.
Realizing that he didn't know the other person's name, he asked casually, "By the way, what's your name?"
Xiao Qi'er pursed his lips and said, "My name is Xiao Shi."
"Little Shi?" Liang Han laughed.
After a while, he said to him, "
..................
Zhang family.
The heavy snow was falling one after another, and the Zhang Qingzhu brothers went into the house after lunch. Zhang Qingzhu took off his trousers and got on the bed. He sat in the duvet and leaned against the wall to greet his brothers. "Sit down, I'll tell you a story."
In this weather, everyone has nothing to do. It was also a chat together, and it happened that the stories he heard from Liang Han were useful.
Zhang Qingyuan pulled his quilt over his body, lay sideways on the bed, supported his head with his hands, and said with a smile, "Xiaozhu can also tell stories, okay, let's hear it."
Zhang Qingmu came in with a bamboo plate. There are some walnuts and red dates in it, all of which they went to the mountains to find in the fall.
If the quality is not good, they cannot be sold and can only be eaten at home. He handed the plate to Zhang Qingzhu, "What story is Xiaozhu going to tell?"
Zhang Qingzhu grabbed a red date. "The white snake repays its kindness."
Zhang Qingshui took the plate and knocked on the walnuts. "Can the snake repay its kindness? Tell me and listen."
"What kind of white snake repays his gratitude? I don't know where he heard the story."
Seeing that the sixth brother Zhang Qingyong looked out the window as if he had something on his mind, he leaned over and asked him in a low voice, "Sixth brother Zhang Qingyong looked out of the window as if he had something on his mind. Brother, what are you thinking?"
Zhang Qingyong whispered his worries, "It's snowing so hard today, how can she sweep the roof?"
"This..." Zhang Qingfu knew that his sixth brother liked Miao Cuicui from the same village.
Miao Cuicui is also a pitiful person.
First, she lost her father and then lost her mother two years ago.
A girl lives with a younger brother who is ten years younger than her.
One can imagine the hardships of life. Because the younger brother is the only seedling in the family, Miao Cuicui said that if you wants to marry her, he has to help her raise her eldest younger brother. Without her parents, her family was poor and could not afford any dowry.
You married her and had to support her younger brother. Because of this, the good-looking Miao Cuicui was now 18 years old and no matchmaker came to ask for marriage.
Zhang Qingyong likes Miao Cuicui, but his family's circumstances make him unable to marry someone else.
The reason why Zhang Qingfu agreed to the younger brother to sell bean sprouts together was because of Zhang Qingyong.
If he can really save a few more bucks, he might be able to fulfill his sixth brother's wish.
Otherwise, even if he could make money, he wouldn't want the younger brother to continue to have anything to do with Liang Han.
Zhang Qingfu felt uncomfortable leaning against the wall.
Because of his second brother's injury on his face and the situation at home, he is now in his thirties and has yet to start a family, and it will be even more difficult in the future.
Although the third brother is married, he is still suffering, and the fourth brother is seven out of twenty.
Outsiders say they have a lot of sons, but what's the use of being a bachelor.
This made him very unhappy.
Looking at Zhang Qingzhu, who was smiling and telling stories to them, this youngest brother had a simple temperament since he was a child, as long as he had enough to eat and drink, he would be happy.
He is also very considerate of his family.
When he doesn't know what he likes as a man or a woman, he argues that he wants to get married in the future because he wants to lighten the burden on the family.
Everyone in the family knows that the younger brother loves home the most, and doesn't want to leave home to live with others at all.
Thinking of this makes them sad.
Zhang Qingzhu happily took the walnut and threw it into his mouth, and said cheerfully,
Zhang Qingyuan complained about him, "Aren't you talking nonsense? You must have found it, otherwise how would she repay her kindness? Don't betray, continue talking, what happened next?"
"Hehe-" Zhang Qingzhu smiled proudly , and then continued. "Bai Suzhen continues to look for it, and then..."
Zhang Qingzhu suddenly covered his stomach while talking, "Oh, let's not talk about it, I have to go out and squat."
He hurriedly got out of bed.
Seeing him in a hurry, Zhang Qingmu reminded him, "It's still snowing outside, put on your hat."
"Got it." Zhang Qingzhu took the hat and ran out.
"I'll go too." Zhang Qingfu tugged Zhang Qingyong's sleeve and motioned him to go out to speak.
Zhang Qingyong hurriedly got up and went out with him.
After the two went out, Zhang Qingyong asked Zhang Qingfu anxiously, "Xiaofu, do you have any idea?"
In his heart, the seventh brother has always had the most idea. Since he pulled himself out, he must have told himself how to get there.
Help Miao Cuicui.
Zhang Qingfu glanced in the direction of the door of his third brother's room, saw that the door curtain was lifted, and saw the exposed shoes, he said to Zhang Qingyong.
Zhang Qingyong went to move Ladder, the two went out the door in the snow.
Zhang Qingyong asked, "Xiaofu, where are we going?"
"Go sweep the roof for your sweetheart." Zhang Qingfu went straight forward.
"It's alright, let's go to my uncle's house and call Yingying and the others. Let's go together. Besides, there is really gossip, you are married next year. Can't she do it?"
Zhang Qingyong said helplessly, "Xiaofu, don't talk nonsense. It's not like you don't know, how can I marry her."
"I can say you can." Then he whispered to him.
With the money the two of them earn every day, "It's still possible to save up enough money for three ounces, and then you will marry her. We're not afraid of his brother's food."
Zhang Qingyong was very surprised.
He was simple and honest but not stupid.
He asked nervously, "What are you two doing? How can you make so much money in a day?"
"Sixth brother, don't you know me yet? Bring it into the ditch? Don't ask what you are doing, it's not a bad thing." Zhang Qingfu also didn't plan to tell Zhang Qingyong the specific situation, lest the other party be burdened.
But he didn't say so, Zhang Qingyong was even more clueless, "Xiaofu, tell me, if you don't tell me I have no clue."
How could Zhang Qingfu tell him, "Hey-ah, what are you thinking about? Anyway, the two of us didn't do anything bad. Do you want to marry Miao Cuicui? If you want, don't ask any more."
When it came to the topic of whether or not to marry Miao Cuicui, Zhang Qingyong's dark cheeks couldn't help but get hot, simple and honest. "I want to marry her."
He is twenty-three this year, and everyone in the same village has already become a father at this age.
Can he not want to marry a daughter-in-law?
Just, "Then if you don't tell me, I'm worried about you guys. My little brother has no heart. With you around, I'm not afraid that he will be deceived, but if you don't tell me, there must be something about it.
"Let me tell you."
Zhang Qingzhu came out of the latrine, and the squatting pit in the cold weather was too painful.
He was shivering from the cold and wanted to go home quickly.
When he saw the two brothers whispering something not far away, he was curious and ran over.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Hey, sixth brother, you What are you doing with the ladder?"
Zhang Qingyong was a little embarrassed, "No...it's nothing..."
Seeing that his younger brother was more curious, Zhang Qingfu helped to explain. "Let's go help people to work. You can go home."
"You guys go. Who are you working for? You also urged me to go home. There must be some secrets. Tell me." Zhang Qingzhu felt that they must have something to do.
"You..." Zhang Qingfu shook his head, "I can't tell you yet. Be obedient and go home honestly."
Zhang Qingzhu was not happy, "Then I'll help too."
His brother said that, and he was even more curious.
"Go, go, what do you do, little brat." Zhang Qingfu followed him dishonestly, "If you are not honest, I won't go out with you tomorrow."
"...Okay." Zhang Qingzhu was a little confused.
Reluctantly, he went home and walked to the gate to look at the two older brothers who were leaving, and muttered, "You knew you were threatening me. Who are they going to help with?"
When the rooster crowing sounded, Liang Han vaguely heard the sound of the door being slammed, and then heard Uncle Liang's voice.
Knowing that Uncle Liang was going out to sell vegetables again today, Liang Han hurriedly responded that he heard it, then put on his clothes swiftly, and went out to open the door in the cold. He asked, "Uncle, there is so much snow on the road. Is it better to go out to sell vegetables?"
Uncle Liang asked his eldest son to lead the ox cart into the yard, and said to Liang Han, "It's okay, we will pull a basket of vegetables today. If you go to less places, you can come back earlier. It's very cold outside, so hurry back to the house."
"Okay, then I'll go back to the house first." Liang Han didn't say anything more. If he was replaced, it would be so cold.
Heaven will definitely not go out.
But Uncle Liang and the others have different ideas from him.
Hard work is nothing, as long as you can earn money, "Uncle, leave the door open when you leave."
He thought that Zhang Qingzhu and his brothers might come over today.

This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast.
