As soon as he heard this, his boss asked him, "Is that little lady last time your wife? She looks quite capable."
I felt a little regretful, because if I hadn't said goodbye, I could still have told him about my distant niece.
Qin An's face softened a little, and he said "hmm" while holding the rice bag, and praised: "My wife is capable."
"Okay, you can leave at a quarter past noon, and I will still pay you the wages."
The boss is not afraid that other helpers will hear it. Qin An can do as much work as three men by himself.
It was a quarter before noon, and the boss paid Qin An his wages. Qin An took the money and bought four pancakes. Su Yan was busy at the moment and would definitely not have time to eat noodles.
Sure enough, Ruyi Shop was crowded at this time, and there were quite a few people lined up outside.
"There are so many people, how about changing to another shop?"
"There aren't many people. We just changed the cook and the food is even better than before. We finally got to the county seat and we had a good meal."
Listening to these words, Qin An's eyebrows softened slightly. His wife's cooking was the best.
He quickly entered the shop, and when he arrived in the kitchen, he saw a woman stirring vegetables in a basin with chopsticks. At this time, her eyebrows were lowered, and the ends of her eyes were slightly raised.
Getting a wife is like a dream.
He said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law."
The extremely busy woman looked up when she heard this and raised the corners of her mouth, "Why are you here? Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I bought some pancakes."
Qin An tore off a piece of pancake and fed it to her mouth, without delaying her work at all.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that the man's face was red from the sun. He must have come here after finishing his work. She didn't say anything, opened her mouth and ate. After finishing more than one pancake, she said, "You are full, you can eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter hurried over and said, "Ms. Qin, there is a table of guests waiting for you."
"Okay, give them an extra bowl of cold vegetables." Su Yan quickly handed him two plates, and then gave some to Qin An. The cooks next to her took a look.
After finishing their work, a cook called the shopkeeper to the backyard, "Shopkeeper, that little lady is so bad. I saw her picking up food for her husband-in-law."
Ruyi's shop has rules, and the cook cannot take the food without permission.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression did not change, and he said: "The young lady is invited by the boss. Let alone pick up some dishes, the boss doesn't know what to say even if I serve a few pots. If I were you, I would put more effort into it."
He paused and then said: "Ms. Qin is only here to help for a few days, and she will leave in a few days."
It means letting them cook in peace.
After that, he called Su Yan to the back and said something in a tactful tone: "Ms. Qin, the rules of the shop do not allow the cook to take the dishes privately."
"Next time, tell me and I'll get it for you."
Hearing this, Su Yan was a little apologetic, "I don't know, so you fine me some money."
There are shop rules in the shop. You can't break them. If they are broken, someone else will do it.
The shopkeeper was still a little surprised that she could say this. He turned around and shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, let's forget it this time. My little lady is going to have a hard time these days."
"It's not hard, you paid me the wages, shopkeeper, you will fine me some money in front of the cook later." Su Yan said seriously.
The shopkeeper couldn't make up his mind, so he went upstairs and asked Ning Yi, "Master, do you want to be punished?"
"Do as she said, and I'll give her some extra wages when the time comes." Ning Yi looked through the account book at noon. Business was very good, with an income of four to five hundred taels.
He closed the ledger and asked, "How about the salad?"
"Very good, some guests even asked for extra money. Madam Qin said that many people wanted the money for the second set."
The shopkeeper paused for a moment and then said, "I tried it just now, and it's really good."
Ning Yi nodded, "Have someone send me some. Let her go back to rest today and come back tomorrow."
"Okay." The shopkeeper exited the room and went to the kitchen to find the couple sitting at the kitchen door talking. He said politely: "Ms. Qin, my boss said you have worked hard today and asked you to go back and rest and come back tomorrow."
He paused, glanced at the other cooks, and then said: "The shop has rules and the cook cannot take food without permission. Madam Qin breaks the rules of the shop and will be fined two hundred coins."
Su Yan nodded and said, "Okay." After saying that, she took two hundred coins from Qin An's money bag and gave it to him.
These two hundred coins were still the man's hard-earned money for carrying rice bags, but the man didn't say a word. When he left the shop, he pursed his lips and said, "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong."
The man who was over 1.9 meters tall suddenly admitted his mistake. Su Yan was still a little amused and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you, and it's still your wages." At the end of the sentence, she reached out to hold his arm.
She added: "You don't even talk about me?"
She was really curious about this rough guy in her family. No matter how much money she spent, he never said a word.
He was also worried that she wouldn't have enough money, so he desperately saved money.
If she were a restless woman, he might even lose his pants if he was so honest.
"If I don't tell you, I can make money." Qin An promised with a serious look.
"Aren't you afraid that I will lose my fortune?"
"Well, you can lose if you want."
"Ms. sir, bow your head."
Su Yan couldn't stand how naive he was, so she motioned for him to bend over. Qin An bowed his head obediently, and the next moment, his ear was pinched by the woman.
Then the woman's voice said, "You stupid sir."
The rough man whose ears were pinched showed his teeth and chuckled twice, with a bit of doting on his face, "Yeah."
…
After working in the county town for seven or eight days, the two of them rushed to the village. The Qin family suddenly bought another six acres of land, and everyone in the village became red-eyed.
There are only two or three families in the village who can own eight acres of land.
There has been a lot of talk these days, but even if the person involved is not here, those unpleasant words cannot be heard.
But Goudan's mother was so angry that she would start a fight every time she heard it.
When Su Yan and Qin An came back, they happened to see her standing at the door of her house with her arms akimbo, scolding the woman opposite.
"Jealousness is a disease. Hurry up and ask the doctor to take a look at this sinister man's nest, lest I have to hang up a banquet after death."
"I only talk gossip all day long, and I also say that the Qin family's money is dirty. It's you who I can't see clearly..."
Su Yan and Qin An looked at each other after getting off the carriage, and soon she went to Goudan's house, "Sister."
The scolding woman stopped as soon as she heard this. When she saw her eyes, she was happy and asked, "Are you back?"
"I just came back, what's wrong?" Su Yan patted her on the back and told her not to be angry.
Goudanfu curled his lips, "It's not like some people are jealous and talk nonsense. It doesn't matter. I've scolded them for you."
Soon she fell on her cheek, "I have gained a little weight, is it true?"
Su Yan has indeed put on weight, mainly because the rough guy buys her food when he has nothing to do, and the little money he earns to carry rice is not enough.
But when it came to the child, she felt a little depressed. Well, the rough guy at home was tormenting her, but her stomach still didn't move.
"No, I just had my period."
As soon as he heard this, Goudanfu didn't say anything about it, "You haven't eaten yet. I have a lot left over at noon. I'll heat it up for you."
"No need, I ate on the way."
Su Yan said a few words to her and she would go to the hospital. When she saw the man, he was fetching water. The muscles in his arms were extremely obvious, and there were beads of sweat in the sun.
The man looked sideways at her and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law."
