After dinner at Goudan's house, it was already dark. When she got home, she fed the chickens, cleaned the chicken coop, and then lit candles and tidied up the room where the two of them lived.
Fortunately, the quilt was an old quilt from before. She changed it and threw it in the yard. She would wash it tomorrow and put it away to make a bed for the dog in the winter.
The inside and outside were cleaned, and the chickens outside were asleep, but the two dogs were still alive and walking around with her.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by a woman's voice, "Sister, are you asleep?"
It's a fucking bitch.
Hearing this, Su Yan took the candle and opened the door, "What's wrong?"
"I just finished my work. I thought you were at home alone, so I came over to accompany you. I washed and changed clothes for bed." Goudan tugged on his clothes.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized and asked her to come in, "What should you do with your little bitch?"
"I just fell asleep. I went out to play crazy after I came back from school." Goudanta mother said it was okay.
When she entered the house, she saw a spacious and clean room. She couldn't help but glance at Su Yan. Qin An was really right to marry Widow Li.
As long as this daughter-in-law is capable and not lazy, she is lucky.
"It's better that your house is clean. Mine is just a doghouse, especially when my guy comes back from working and his boots are so smelly."
Su Yan smiled, lifted the thin quilt and let her get on the bed, "It's almost the same."
There is no man who doesn't have sweaty and smelly feet after working a lot. Qin An's boots are wet every day when he comes back.
But as soon as he came back, he changed it and squatted in the yard to wash himself off.
Sometimes she was busy and didn't have time, so she would wash it for him.
Every time at this time, the rough man would come over and kiss her twice, telling her not to wash her again.
Goudan's mother laughed and said: "Your house is still much better than mine..."
The two talked for a while and then went to bed. They got up before dawn.
With Goudan's mother's help, I made a hundred more pancakes today, and the donkey cart ride to town took more than half an hour longer than usual.
The pancakes were sold slower than usual, but they were all sold out before noon.
Goudanfang knew that Su Yan was selling pancakes for money in the town, but he didn't expect that they were selling so well. She sold them for more than a tael of silver in just one morning.
Su Yan put down the money and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Sister, let's go over there and have a bowl of noodles. I'll go to the shop in the afternoon. You can just take the donkey cart back."
"It's better not to eat. The noodles are expensive. I'll go back with you. I have nothing to do." Goudan's mother was not because of the salary, but because she was worried that she would not be safe alone in the town.
She added: "What's going on at the shop? I'll do it with you. Once it's done, I'll buy some meat and stew it."
A bowl of noodles costs seven or eight cents, so you might as well buy half a catty of meat.
Seeing her like this, Su Yan knew she couldn't finish the meal, "Okay, I'll buy some tables and stools to put in the shop."
She was not in a hurry to set up shop. The rough man was not at home, so it was inconvenient to come and go.
Just make a few in a day.
Even so, it was already afternoon after the two of them finished their work, and the sun was already setting when they got home.
Fortunately, Jiang Caifu prepared food at home, and the two of them ate several bowls. Goudan's mother originally wanted to follow her, but Su Yan could not let her sleep next to her.
The Jiang family still wants a daughter.
When I got home, I locked the yard, tidied up briefly and then lay on the bed to sleep. I was thirsty in the middle of the night and subconsciously called my husband.
After waiting for a while and no one responded, she thought that her rough guy had gone out to make money to support his family.
…
After the two women from Ruyi Shop came to help, Su Yan felt much more relaxed. She made pancakes every day and let them buy them, and she went to work on the shop with Goudan's mother.
For ten days in a row, I bought all the pots, stoves, dishes, chopsticks, etc., and after a little tidying up, I was able to sell pancakes in the town.
That afternoon, she and Goudan's mother cleaned the shop inside and out. After cleaning, it was just past noon. Su Yan washed her hands and said, "Sister, please ask someone to go back and call Brother Jiang and the others to come up today. Let's go to Ruyi
Let’s eat at the shop.”
"No, that's too precious. We can just go home and eat." Goudanzi sat on the stool and drank from a bowl.
"It's okay. I'll treat you to a meal. I've been troubling you these days."
"What's the trouble? You paid me. We'll be embarrassed if you say anything."
"Sister, just shout, just treat my shop as open for dinner."
Hearing this, Goudan's mother didn't refuse, "Okay, Sister Zhang is here today. I asked her to help with a message. I guess it will be too late to go back today."
"I'm not going back tonight. I'll book a room for you at the inn. There's a sideshow in town to keep Goudan entertained."
Su Yan thought of something and added: "Call your eldest son and your daughter-in-law too."
"I'm afraid you'll have to spend a lot of money." Goudanfu was a little embarrassed.
Su Yan couldn't help laughing, "How much can we eat for two more people? Don't worry, eldest sister, we'll have no problem eating a few more meals."
Goudanfu poured her a bowl of water and looked at the sky outside, "How many days will it take for your guy to come back?"
Hearing this, Su Yan missed Qin An a little. This time he didn't send back even a single letter. Thinking of this, she felt as if something was hanging on her heart.
"I'll go to the county seat tomorrow and ask."
"Okay, you two haven't stayed together long since you got married. You can't just be busy with your life. You still have to worry about the children."
It's been more than half a year since they got married, and there's still no movement. People in the village are saying that no matter how capable a woman is, she might as well have a few fat babies.
Hearing this, Su Yan felt worried, and there was no movement. She had been having her menstrual period a few days ago, and she was thinking about this.
Of course she wants to give birth to a child for her rough guy.
"Sister, give me the recipe you mentioned last time."
Goudanfu nodded and said, "Sure, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
In the evening, Goudan was very happy to go to town. I guess he didn't have to write big characters and he could watch juggling.
Jiang Caifu couldn't hold him back and almost wanted to put a belt around his neck. In the end, he was too tired to walk before he even reached the inn.
He lay on his father's back and fell asleep soon after.
After sending them to the door of the inn, Su Yan said: "You guys go in and sleep. I've already paid the money. I'll sleep over there in the shop. Sister, you can come over later tomorrow."
"I'll go with you."
"No, it's too small for two people over there."
Goudanfu was also there when I bought the bed. Naturally, he knew how big it was, so he didn’t say anything. “Okay, lock the door.”
The town is much better than the village. There are people around, and if there is any movement, the people nearby will notice it.
Besides, there are people patrolling the town at night.
Over here, in the village
The sound of horse hooves sounded in the dark night, from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of Qin's house.
The tall man dropped the horse's rope and walked towards the courtyard gate. He couldn't help but shout, "Daughter-in-law."
After shouting, he saw the locked courtyard door in the moonlight. He frowned and quickly took out the key to unlock it.
Two dogs ran over and barked happily at him.
The rough man ignored them and went straight into the house. The house was empty and still clean.
There is no one on the bed.
His heart skipped a beat, and then he went to look in another room, but there was still no one there.
He strode out of the yard and went to Jiang's house. The door of Jiang's house was also locked.
Village chief's house
Fan had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a kick at the door. He sat up suddenly and asked, "What's wrong?"
