The sun was shining brightly at the moment, and Qin An didn't dare to let her stand for a long time. Her daughter-in-law was too delicate to stay in the sun for long.
"Well, let's go back."
Su Yan glanced at the men who were looking over and took a slight step towards Qin An, "Okay, I'll go dig some Houttuynia cordata later. I won't want to eat the fried vegetables."
"No, I'll dig it back after I finish the work."
"I have nothing to do at home, and it's boring to stay here."
Hearing this, Qin An didn't say anything. He glanced to the left and said, "There is Houttuynia cordata over there. Go get the hoe. I'll dig it up a few times and you can pick it up yourself."
Su Yan nodded, "Okay." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Seeing him walking away, Qin An withdrew his gaze, his eyes fell on the others, and said fiercely: "Don't look at my wife."
He paused and said, "Put on your clothes."
Suddenly the other men shrank their necks, and after a while, the shirtless men put on their clothes one after another.
About a quarter of an hour later, a woman came over with a basket in one hand and a hoe in the other. Qin An saw it and went straight over.
He took the hoe and looked at her slightly, seeing a smile on her lips, "What's wrong?"
"Goudan's mother came back just now. She said that Goudan fell asleep in the school. When I asked him what his name was, he said his name was Jiang Jinbao." After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Jinbao is his eldest brother's name.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yan added: "Master is almost mad. He asked his mother-in-law what his name was, but he couldn't tell me."
Qin An chuckled, took a hoe and dug three times at the Houttuynia cordata by the river. Without any further delay, he said, "If it's not enough, just shout."
"Okay." Su Yan bent down and pulled the mud. The Houttuynia cordata at this time was a bit old, so it took a while to pick out a handful.
But it's enough for two people to eat.
She stood up with the basket and glanced at Qin An. The men had been moving stones for a long time and had lost their energy.
I feel a little lazy at work.
Only the tall, rough man kept working hard, which made her feel a little distressed, and she thought about having a good talk when she got home.
"Ms. sir, I'm going back."
Upon hearing this voice, the rough man looked over and said in a low voice: "Okay." His expression softened a lot as he spoke.
The sun gradually went down, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky red. Seeing that it was getting late, Qin An walked to the river, washed his hands, and walked home.
The village chief glanced at him but didn't say anything. As soon as he walked away, the man became unhappy and said, "Village Chief, Qin An doesn't work anymore, it's time for us to go home."
"Don't tell me, go and call him back if you can." The village chief was dissatisfied with Qin An, but there was nothing he could do.
Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable.
Qin family
Su Yan had just finished feeding the chicken when she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw the man coming in, "The rice has just been steamed. You take a break while I cook."
"I fried some crispy pork and put it on the table. You can eat some with the mung bean soup first." As he spoke, he pulled off the handkerchief hanging in the yard and handed it to him to wipe his sweat.
Qin An was soaked all over, and the smell of sweat was obvious. He took it and wiped it a few times, "I'll wash it with water first."
"Daughter-in-law, help me rub my back."
"Okay, I'll add some water to the pot first, then fold my clothes and put them on the bed, wearing the gray suit to keep cool."
After Su Yan finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and poured a few ladles of water into the pot. Then she bent over the stove and took two pieces of firewood and put them in the ashes.
She got up and went into the house. When she opened the door, she saw that the man had taken off his clothes. He had a strong waist, a strong chest, and obvious lines.
She looked away and closed the door, "Have you found your clothes?"
"found it."
Qin An didn't dodge. He bent down and took a wet handkerchief from the bucket to wipe his body. He wiped it for a while before wringing it out and handing it to her.
Su Yan took it and stood behind him, seeing that his neck was red from the sun, "I will wear a straw hat tomorrow."
"Um."
Qin An felt the hand behind him scratch his back, like something tickling him. He was obviously tired, but he had just done something bad.
His throat became tighter and tighter, and finally he couldn't help but turn around and hold the woman's wrist, "Daughter-in-law, stop rubbing it."
What she saw with her eyes made the woman's cheeks turn red. She patted his back and said, "It's been a long day's work. Please calm down."
"Wash yourself and I'll cook."
Seeing the rough man's wolf-like eyes, she quickly walked out of the house.
Cough, she can't bear it anymore.
Qin An in the room pulled hard and finally calmed down with a cold handkerchief.
It took a long time before it subsided.
As soon as he left the house, he could smell the aroma of meat. He subconsciously glanced at the kitchen and saw the busy figure of the woman.
He looked a little dazed, but finally regained his composure.
He will definitely provide for this family.
While eating, Su Yan explained something to him, "You don't have to send me to town tomorrow. I'll drive the donkey cart earlier."
Qin An took a bite of rice and said, "I'll take you to town first."
It was already early to get up, and he would be even more tired if he saw her off.
Su Yan gave him a piece of meat and said disapprovingly, "No need."
"The rest is up to you." The man disagreed.
Seeing this, Su Yan felt warm and helpless. She looked at him and said, "You can't bear it. You work during the day and can't sleep for long at night."
Qin An took a piece of bacon and ate the fat on it, then gave the lean meat to Su Yan, "It's okay to eat."
"Stubborn." Su Yan said with a smile and said nothing more.
As soon as it got dark, the two of them finished clearing the dishes. It was still early, and Su Yan was sitting in the main room sorting out the green onions for the pancakes.
Qin An naturally also understands.
This continued until the voice of the woman next door scolded the child, "Still not sleeping yet! Why are you playing! Hurry up and sleep!"
After finishing the last onion, Su Yan stood up and clapped her hands, "Sleep."
After the two washed their hands, they returned to the room. The rough man took off his shirt as a habit and kept his pants on. He took the cattail leaf fan from the table.
After Su Yan went to bed, he lay next to her and played the cattail leaf fan.
"Go to sleep."
Su Yan raised her head and kissed him, hugging his waist tightly. The hot skin made her feel a little hot, and she whispered in a low voice: "It's like a stove."
The rough man chuckled twice, and then said in a low voice: "Take off your inner clothes and sleep."
"Nothing to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to help her unbuckle her belt. Su Yan didn't believe that he didn't do anything. She pinched her collar and said, "Be honest."
…
The pancakes sold well, and the two hundred pancakes were sold out in less than an hour. Su Yan collected the money and went to buy some big bones with a basket on her back.
There was no delay. After selling, she hurried back to the village by donkey cart. When she reached the bamboo raft, she saw the rough man waiting at a glance.
She said happily: "How did you know I would come back now?"
"I guess it's almost done."
Qin An came over and took the basket from her, carrying it behind his back, and then motioned her to get on the bamboo raft, asking with concern: "Did anyone bully you?"
"No, this one sold out quickly." Su Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She paused and then said, "When you come here, will those people say anything?"
Qin An didn't look scared at all. He watched her sit firmly before rowing the bamboo raft, "Let them talk."
"I bought big bones and will stew them when I get home later. Don't eat. I'll prepare them and deliver them to you."
"good."
After getting off the bamboo raft, Su Yan reached out to take the basket on her back. Qin An didn't let her carry it, obviously he wanted to send her back.
Just as he was about to leave, the village chief came over with a stern face, "Qin An, there are so many people working, where are you going?"
