After Su Yan finished washing her own clothes, she started to wash Qin An's clothes. She didn't know if she didn't wash them, but as soon as she washed them, she saw small holes in his clothes.
If there are four or five holes in a piece of clothing, it would be really rough for no one in the family.
If nothing happens, she will pull some cloth and make clothes. Qin An will help her repair the yard, and she will help him with such small things.
Qin An should still marry a wife.
It suddenly occurred to me that I haven't told what the noodle stall lady said yet, so I'll ask her later.
After washing, the sun had set and the door was closed and unlocked. She pushed the door open and went in. The room was quiet and Qin An was not at home anymore.
This person is probably not tired at all. It is rare to see him taking a rest during the day.
Carrying a small wild boar weighing several dozen kilograms and walking for several hours is probably a bit too much for even a strong body.
After she hung her clothes to dry, she went out with a basket to pry wild vegetables, and would make dumplings to eat later.
There were many people coming back from the fields at this time, and many people avoided her when they saw her, for fear of getting something dirty.
But men can't control their eyes and can't help but look at Widow Li a few more times.
The woman next to me was so angry that she said, "What are you looking at? I'm afraid your soul is hooked."
"What nonsense are you talking about, bitch? I was looking at the hilltop opposite, and I was going crazy all day." The man took the hoe and left unhappy.
The woman glared at Su Yan, then walked away carrying the basket.
Su Yan didn't bother to argue with them. As long as they didn't scold her by name, she would treat them as if they heard them.
The most important thing now is to live a better life and find some way to make money.
Guarantee that she will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Few people eat wild vegetables these days, and wild vegetables can be seen everywhere in Dikan and mountains.
She specializes in picking shepherd's purse, which makes dumplings very delicious.
After a while, she pried out a large basket and carried it home. She started working on it as soon as she got home.
While rolling out the dough, she heard some movement outside. She turned around and looked out, and saw a rough man coming back carrying a piece of wood that was thicker than a man.
He dropped it on the ground with a "thud" sound, and now there were five or six logs in the yard.
Just add a few more and you'll be ready to build the base.
Su Yan clapped her hands quickly, then neatly took a bowl of water and went out, "Brother Qin, have a drink of water."
Qin An took it and felt bored after one gulp. He was probably too thirsty, so he took the bowl and went to the kitchen to drink two more bowls.
I saw the dough on the cutting board and the mixed dumpling fillings.
Su Yan came in, "The dumplings won't be wrapped until a while later. Let me make you a bowl of pimple soup first."
"No, I'm not hungry yet."
Qin An saw that there was some dirt on the ground because of the way he walked in, so he strode out.
He arrived outside the courtyard gate and patted his clothes. Su Yan thought he was going again, so she quickly followed him out, "Brother Qin, don't go..."
Seeing that he was a scumbag who was shaking his clothes, she stopped. She smiled and said, "I thought you were going up the mountain again, so sit down and rest for a while, otherwise you won't be able to bear it."
Qin An looked at the woman's face and felt something strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was. "Cut a few roots and fight again tomorrow morning, and then go build a house the day after tomorrow."
"I'll take those rotten wood back and put them in the yard. When the yard is built, you can take them back and use them as firewood."
"I'll move it tomorrow when I have nothing to do. I'll save it for daily use. You don't have to chop wood. Brother Qin helps me build the yard. It's already a lot of trouble for you." Su Yan said sincerely.
After saying that, she went into the kitchen to make dumplings.
After a while, Qin An came in with a broom and a shovel. He was tall and seemed to be carrying two toys.
He swept up the debris on the ground very gently, took it out and poured it out, then washed his hands and helped make dumplings together.
Su Yan glanced at him and didn't say anything. The two of them made dumplings much faster, making dozens of dumplings in about a quarter of an hour.
Su Yan scooped the warm water from the pot into the bucket, and then started to mix the soup ingredients. After a while, the aroma came out.
Qin An stood and watched her doing it, staring at the pot from the beginning, but finally fell on the woman's face.
Inexplicably, it feels like home.
Su Yan accidentally met his gaze and didn't think too much. She thought of something and said: "By the way, Brother Qin, the aunt at this noodle stall thought you were pretty good, so she asked me if you were married and if you wanted your daughter to get married with you."
take a look."
"No, I'm not getting married." Qin An looked away unnaturally, and then sat at the kitchen door.
Su Yan was a little confused, so she asked a lot, "Why?"
"I don't want it to happen." Qin An said in a low voice.
Su Yan glanced at him. Although she was also anti-marriage, she felt that Qin An should get married, and the family should be more lively if there was someone there.
Considering that he is a man, eating and other things are too rough.
But she didn't say anything. After all, she was just an outsider, and it was useless to persuade her.
"For that pheasant's money, I will give you one or two silver coins later."
"No need." Qin An knew she was talking about the half chicken from the food shop.
"I still have to give it. It's not easy for you to hunt. I..."
"No, don't say any more."
"...Thank you, Brother Qin."
After a while, the dumplings will be cooked.
Qin An was holding a bowl and sitting on a stool in the yard to eat, while Su Yan was sitting on the threshold of the kitchen, blowing in the wind outside.
If someone didn't know this and saw this scene, they would think they were a couple.
Qin An ate quickly as usual. He waited for Su Yan to finish eating and then started washing the dishes.
Su Yan looked at Qin An's pair of open shoes in the yard. They were already dry. She went to the house to get needle and thread, and sat on the threshold to sew.
The soles of the shoes are a bit thick and sewing is a bit difficult.
Coming out of the kitchen, Qin An saw Su Yan sewing his shoes there. He felt a little softer and pursed his lips, "I'll do it. You don't have to do these things."
"I won't kick you out."
Su Yan was afraid that he would kick her out at first, but after spending the past few days getting along with him, she found that Qin An was also quite difficult, so she wanted to help him.
She smiled and explained: "It won't last long if you sew it, I'll just sew it."
Qin An stood and watched for a while, and then went into the house to stay. The house had been tidied up, and there was no smell of dust when he entered.
The room won't be dull anymore.
He pursed his lips, and then took out a book to read. He had been slowly learning to read when he was very young.
Otherwise, I would have been deceived all these years.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker. Qin An went out to use the toilet and subconsciously glanced at the main room. It was quiet and there was no woman around.
He came out of the toilet and entered the main room. Looking at the moonlight outside, he saw the neatly arranged shoes on the bench.
There was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
…
For two days in a row, Su Yan went to move rotten wood when she had nothing to do. Qin An went up to the mountain to hunt and came back carrying wood.
Qin An had good luck these two days. Qin An shot a lot of hares and pheasants and took them to the town to exchange for seven or eight hundred copper coins.
No wonder he said he could repay her money within two months. If this continues, four or five taels of silver a month will be no problem.
The black-hearted debtor is so black-hearted. He has not paid off so much money, and the interest rate is too high.
Su Yan didn't know that many poor families in the village had no choice but to borrow money and were forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river. It was already very difficult for Qin An to survive until now.
