Chapter 244: Looking for a man with your eyes open
Seeing that noon was here and Qin An hadn't come back yet, Su Yan stood at the door of the courtyard and watched. No one was there for a while, so she closed the door and went to the private school without thinking.
The master was about to go out to eat a bowl of noodles when he saw her at the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
Su Yan asked: "Is my husband gone?"
"You ran out just after noon. What's wrong? You haven't come home yet?"
The Master was afraid that she would worry, so he quickly added, "Nothing should happen."
She came back early on weekdays, so Su Yan didn't say much. She turned around and walked back home. On the way, she met her daughter-in-law who was running a stall across from her previous shop.
The woman held a handful of onions in her hand, "Sister, what are you buying here?"
Before Su Yan could say anything, she said again: "It's good for you to have a family like this. It's so hot on such a hot day with a group of women squeezing to buy cold cakes."
Hearing this, Su Yanxin put her mind down for a moment, and then she couldn't laugh or cry, "Where can I buy cold cakes? I just came out to look for them when no one came back."
"Under the big tree, we just came here today to sell cold cakes. Many people are rushing to buy them. They are quite delicious and ice cold." The woman didn't know what she was doing and sighed in her heart.
This is the man you look for with your eyes open.
Unlike hers, it’s too hot to even buy a handful of green onions.
"Thank you, sis."
"What can I thank you for?"
There were still about ten steps away from the tree, when Su Yan saw her rough man coming out cautiously holding a bamboo bowl.
She was afraid that he would leave directly, so she quickly called out: "Mr.
Hearing the sound, the rough man immediately looked over and brought it over, "Why are you still outside at this time? What should I do if I get heat stroke?"
"If you don't go home, come out and take a look."
Su Yan saw that he was sweating profusely and said with a slightly serious expression: "Don't buy it next time. If I want to eat, I will go out and buy it when I have free time."
The rough man disagreed and said: "You are pregnant with the child. I just stopped by to buy it. There were too many people and I couldn't squeeze in for a while."
Then he handed it to her to eat, "While it's cool, eat before you go back." After that, he led her to stand in the shade of a nearby tree.
Su Yan didn't say anything. She lowered her head and took a sip, then fed it to his mouth. "It's so cool. Where is the ice vendor, let's buy some."
Hearing this, Qin An thought for a moment, "I guess it only exists in Fucheng."
"When winter comes this year, I will save some ice and dig an ice cellar."
"Forget it, our well water is also cool." Su Yan waited for him to take a sip, and then she took another sip.
The two of them finished eating standing up before going home. They happened to return the bowl to the cold cake seller and got two cents back.
I don’t know if there were cold cakes to cool off the heat. Su Yan ate four or five pieces of braised pork. Originally, the weather was hot and she didn’t cook much. Qin An saw that his wife liked to eat it, so after eating a few pieces, he didn’t eat it.
He ate the last two pieces left between them.
Seeing that he was going to wash the dishes, Su Yan held down his hand and said, "I'll wash the dishes later. I have something to tell you. There are still some things in the shop that are not sold in the town. I will take the shop with me in the afternoon.
Ask the helper here to buy it."
"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Qin An frowned and said in a low voice, "No."
"I'll go back when I get back in the evening. I'll spend half a day with a private school tomorrow."
The shop assistants didn't know the ins and outs of the situation, and if anything happened, they would just look out for themselves first.
If anything happens to him, he will definitely protect his wife first.
"It's okay, you are too tired, I will understand..."
"No, wait until I come back."
Qin An packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. It was obvious that this matter was not discussed at all. Su Yan followed her into the kitchen, stroking her belly, "Then I will cook later and early, and you can eat as soon as you come back."
"good."
The rough man saw her wiping the table with a handkerchief, reached for it, and coaxed in a low voice: "Go back to the house and take a nap."
Su Yan looked at him and said softly: "Are you tired of taking on so much work yourself?"
"You are even more tired when you are pregnant with the child." Qin An knew that she was uncomfortable. It was difficult to turn over at night. She stayed in the same position all night, and her whole body felt uncomfortable when she fell asleep.
Her feet are a little swollen these days and it must hurt a little when walking.
But the wife didn't say anything, she just wanted him to worry less.
"It's not tiring. You've done all the things at home. There is no woman in the whole town who has a better life with a child than me." Su Yan's eyebrows were filled with laughter.
She thought of something and said: "My neighbor came to see me this morning and wanted to give me money, but I didn't take it. He said they would be leaving in a few days."
These things can't be kept secret, let's talk about it to see what Qin An thinks.
"Yeah." Qin An had nothing to say.
…
I don’t know how much money I gave to Matchmaker Wang. She came again in the afternoon while Qin An was away. This time she came because she was watching Qin An go to private school.
Probably because Su Yan was easy to talk to, she came in by herself this time, smiling like a flower, "Sister, I'm here again, why don't you meet that girl, she is an easy person to get along with."
"She is capable and obedient. It will be so easy for you if you have her help."
Su Yan was sitting in the main room peeling garlic, saving the shop for future use, "It's so good, sister, please save it for your family."
Matchmaker Wang choked immediately, but she quickly said in disgust: "My guy is old and ugly, and that girl doesn't like him, but your guy is better born, tall and strong."
"Sister, that family said that as long as I marry into your family, I will give you a two-tael bracelet. You see how good this intention is."
Su Yan put down the things in her hands, "My husband-in-law can give me a lot of bracelets worth two ounces, why should I care about hers?"
"Also, eldest sister, have you forgotten that I am his wife when you came to me several times to propose marriage? Am I not mentally ill to agree that my husband-in-law marries another woman?"
"I want a helper. I just need to spend some money to buy a helper."
"Whether it is because of my handsome husband or because of the few coins in my family, we all know in our hearts."
"I'm pregnant with a child and I don't want to get angry with you. Don't come here next time, otherwise I will ask my husband to come to your house and kick in the door."
"I'll keep this kind of good thing for you in the future. Seeing as you are old, it would be best to find someone to take care of you."
Matchmaker Wang was dumbfounded. She probably didn't expect Su Yan to speak like this. She became a little angry and said, "I'm doing your family a favor. You are so virtuous. No wonder others say that everyone in your family is dead."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan's face suddenly turned cold, "Then get out quickly, or I will kill you later."
"You are just a jealous woman. You can't tolerate her. Sooner or later you will be divorced." Matchmaker Wang was so arrogant that she could say anything.
People around heard the commotion and gathered around. Xiao Lan also came over. Matchmaker Wang was still scolding her, "Tell me who has a wife like her. She is still unwilling to find a wife for her husband. If I were her, I would have agreed."
Already."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Wu, who was beside Xiao Lan, reached out and dragged her out, and finally threw her into the river. The river here was shallow and could not drown anyone, "Ah..."
Xiao Lan didn't say anything, glanced at Su Yan and went back to the next door. Xiao Wu had been standing guard at the door of the yard.
Originally, Su Yan had no intention of telling Qin An about this, but as soon as he came back, he went out with a stern face, took the hoe, and came back two-quarters of an hour later.
He said in a low voice: "I will never come again."
