Chapter 215 The widow has a bad reputation in the village
Just because the fetus was moving for a while, the rough man never let go of his face. Goudan was still a little uncomfortable with it, so he quietly asked Su Yan, "Is your family just picking up money?"
The woman cutting the ginger slices immediately looked at the man washing the water tank, and laughed softly: "No, the child moved earlier."
"I just said it was so... awkward." Goudanfu was afraid that he would hear her, so he lowered his voice quite a bit.
Su Yan put the ginger slices in the fish soup and joked: "Still fierce and handsome."
Goudan’s mother couldn’t stop laughing. When she saw a guest coming, she quickly greeted him: “Master, let’s change the fish soup today, is that okay?”
"Chengchengcheng, your family is good at craftsmanship. Give my grandson a small bowl." The old man came in with his five or six-year-old grandson, sat down, and then loosened the rope between the two.
Five or six-year-old children can disappear without blinking an eye, so of course you need to keep a close eye on them.
Then the old man glanced at the empty wooden cabinet and said, "Don't you have the stewed vegetables yet?"
"Not yet, I'll pick it up later, and I'll buy it again in the morning."
Su Yan picked out ten lumps and put them in the pot. After they were cooked, she gave them to them and said, "Master, I'll give them to you two."
"Thank you, girl."
The old man pushed it to his grandson, "Eat it, keep eating it, don't waste it."
After his grandson was full, he ate the remaining food and took out the seven copper coins from the cloth bag after finishing the last mouthful of fish soup.
Qin An took it and threw it into the basket containing money, then collected the bowls and chopsticks.
After that, a few more people came, and they became busy.
Qin An was cooking pimple soup, while Su Yan and Goudan Ta's mother were cooking stewed vegetables. For a time, the two flavors were mixed in the shop, and more people came.
"Boss, Caixiang Shop also sells pimple soup. It's a penny cheaper than yours, but I still eat yours. The taste is really unsatisfactory." The middle-aged man crossed his legs and followed the table cleaner while eating.
Qin An spoke.
Hearing this, Qin An said "hmm" in a low voice, and then said: "My wife's cooking is delicious."
The middle-aged man grinned and said, "My boss, if your wife has a girl, tell me. I'm not married yet."
"A few years ago, my mother-in-law had a difficult delivery. I am a fish seller and have two ponds at home."
"No."
When Qin An heard that it was difficult to give birth to a child, he pursed his lips and asked again: "Why is it difficult to give birth?"
"Hey, my mother-in-law is not in good health. She lost more than ten pounds during pregnancy." The middle-aged man said sadly.
Hearing this, Qin An looked at his wife who was working, pursed her lips, and had some worry in her eyes.
Su Yan was sweating all over and felt uncomfortable. She told Goudan's mother and went to the attic.
As he walked upstairs, the rough guy followed him up. He said out of nowhere, "Daughter-in-law, let me give you a hug."
Su Yan glanced at him, and while taking the clothes, she said: "There are people downstairs."
Seeing him clinging to her side, she couldn't help but cry or laugh. She stretched out her arms to hug him and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you popular?"
People who sell food will always meet people who are dissatisfied.
"no."
Qin An bent down and picked her up, then put her down after a while.
My wife is not thin.
"You change it."
Seeing the man coming down from the attic, Su Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know what he was doing. After pulling up the screen, she changed her clothes.
When she went downstairs, she saw the family who bought the house next door to them yesterday. She asked Goudanfu, "What do you want?"
"Three bowls of pimple soup, half a pound of braised vegetables, no green onions in the pimple soup."
Goudan's mother wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief and muttered: "It's only April and it's so hot."
"It's hot, eldest sister, you sit down and have a sip of cold water. My husband will wipe the chair for eldest sister." Su Yan looked out at the bright sky, her eyes almost unable to open.
"I'm not tired, and I haven't done anything."
Goudanfang knows that she has good intentions, but she can't do this. It's good enough for someone to pay her fifty cents to work, so naturally she should work harder.
Seeing that she didn't sit down, Su Yan didn't say anything, took out the lumps and put them in the fish soup, "Mr. sir, bring them over."
Qin An said "hmm" and walked back and forth twice to get the pimple soup. Zhao Xian couldn't help but look at him and quickly looked away.
Su Yan always felt that these people were a little weird, but they left after eating and didn't do much, so she just thought about it.
In the inn
Li De stood with a respectful look on his face and said, "I haven't found that woman yet. She said she has traveled far away."
"ASAP."
Zhao Xian couldn't help but rubbed the center of her eyebrows and said, "Have you found out the background of the little woman?"
Xiao Wu lowered his head and said, "I found out that she is a widow. She married her husband more than a year after his death."
"It doesn't have a good reputation in the village."
"Well, it doesn't matter. If you really give me some money, it will be fine." Zhao Xian coughed.
"That child?" Li De looked worried. If it is true, then the child cannot be kept...
Zhao Xian was silent for a while without saying anything. Li De understood in his heart and followed Xiao Wu out of the room.
…
The smell of wood in the yard had dissipated a lot. Taking advantage of a day's rest, Qin An went to the mountains to chop some pear trees to make beds and chairs in the yard.
Su Yan was pulling the weeds that sprouted out of the yard. The yard was previously paved with stone slabs, but there were many trees and fruit vines in the village's yard.
Qin An moved the stone slabs away, turned over the soil twice, and finally went to pick up a lot of soil.
"Ms. sir, we won't be opening a shop tomorrow. We'll go home and move the things from the kitchen over, so we don't have to crowd in the shop to cook."
"Okay." Qin An was a little hot now, and even his single clothes were wet. He took off his shirt and put it on the stool next to him.
His hands were full of wood ash, "Daughter-in-law, wipe that handkerchief for me."
Su Yan clapped her hands, came over with a handkerchief, bent down and wiped his back, "Go and get it in the house."
“It’s not easy to clean.”
Qin An's sunburned face was slightly turned sideways, and his deep eyes looked downward in the sun.
Soon he approached the woman and said nothing.
Su Yan has long been used to it, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go out to buy some food."
This place is only a few steps away from the market, so Qin An can feel relieved, "Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat tofu? Buy it and I'll grind it."
Su Yan was craving for tofu a few days ago and bought two pieces of tofu which were a bit sour.
"If you don't have a grinder, you'd better wait until it's brought up before touching it." Su Yan shook her head.
"I'm going to buy a mill." Qin An put down what he was doing, clapped his hands, stood up, put on his clothes, and strode out.
No one was seen for a while, and before Su Yan could say anything, the man soon turned back and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, I have no money."
"Buy a small grinder. Then you can grind other things."
Su Yan took out the money bag from her arms and gave it to him, and said, "If you don't have enough, go to the shop and get it."
"Okay, if you want to eat something, I'll buy it."
"Let's see if there are any Chunya for sale. My eldest sister took two big goose eggs that day and hasn't eaten them yet."
"good."
Qin An walked back and forth twice without seeing Chun Ya, so he had to take the things back to the yard. At this moment, Su Yan was washing the new pot in the kitchen.
Tofu still needs a bigger space, otherwise it won’t be possible to make it.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm going out to soak the beans first."
When Qin An saw a large pot of dirty water in the pot, he lifted it up with both hands and poured it into the bucket. Then he carried it with one hand and went to the toilet to pour it.
When he returned to the kitchen, Su Yan asked, "Where are you going?" while getting the beans.
"There are no Chun buds for sale. There should be some in the mountains and forests over there. I'll take a look."
"If you don't have it, don't eat it."
"I'll go take a look."
The rough man still insists on going out, and his wife can eat whatever she wants, and it’s not something she can’t afford.
He walked for more than half an hour just for a pound or two of spring buds, and his face was tanned and red when he came back.
He took out the chun buds from his arms and soaked them in water. "Daughter-in-law, I will go back to the village to get some more tomorrow."
