Hearing this, the rough man put his arms around her waist and whispered slightly: "Don't bully mother, or I will beat you up."
Su Yan couldn't help laughing, "If the girl is okay, the boy will probably make a fuss."
The two of them walked into the courtyard as they talked. After the master briefly asked him how he was studying, he taught him how to study in the main room.
Su Yan thought that the main room was somewhat noisy, so she asked Cuilan to tidy up the room next to her, and then asked her to come back with money to buy a desk and chairs.
Qin An and Master Zhuang moved to the house that had been cleaned up. Master Zhuang looked at it and said, "Your wife treats you very well."
Few rural women can afford to spend money to study. It's not that they don't have money, but most women think that studying is not as good as doing a day's work.
"Um."
Qin An pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Master, how much money does it cost to teach?"
"Twenty taels of silver for two months." Master Zhuang glanced at him and said, "It's quite cheap. I'm afraid this amount of money wouldn't be enough in the county town."
"You'll know after I try it out in your house and go to the county to study."
When he heard two months and ten taels of silver, the man frowned slightly and quickly lowered his head to look at the book.
…
In early September, just as the weather turned cooler, Goudan's mother gave birth to a daughter in the town. When Su Yan and Qin An went to see her, Jiang Caifu couldn't close his mouth and kept praising his beautiful girl with wrinkled skin.
Qin An rarely agreed. When the couple came out of Jiang's house, the wind was blowing outside, the sky was gloomy, and it was obviously going to rain soon.
"Daughter-in-law, please wait for me at the street gate. I'll go home and get an umbrella." Qin An told her and then strode home.
Although it was only a few steps, Su Yan was pregnant and couldn't walk fast.
Not long after he left, a young man suddenly came over and called her, "Yan'er."
Looking at the woman's bulging belly and rosy complexion, one can tell that she is having a great time.
Zhou Xi's heart was unspeakably complicated. Watching them get better and better over the past few years, he felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Su Yan naturally recognized who he was, glanced at him and moved to the side. Zhou Xi seemed to be unwilling to give up and followed him, "Yan'er, it was my mother who didn't let me marry you in the first place."
"I really regret it now. If you are willing, I will marry you now."
Su Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him, "My guy will be here soon."
She paused and then said: "Also, it's not that you don't like me, it's that I don't like you."
"You are nothing compared to my husband."
As soon as she finished speaking, the rough man ran over with an umbrella. When he saw Zhou Xi, his expression didn't change. He held the umbrella and hugged Su Yan's face and waist and walked home.
Su Yan was still a little curious as to why he wasn't jealous, so she whispered: "Aren't you jealous?"
Qin An shook his head, "Daughter-in-law, you don't like him."
Upon hearing this, the woman smiled and said, "It seems that my husband-in-law still knows it well."
She didn't say anything about it after that, and said: "I'll go to the county town tomorrow to collect the bill, and I'll be back after one night."
"Master Zhuang, please tell me."
"good."
Qin An took out the key and went to the door to unlock it. When he opened the door, he saw the lush green vegetables in the yard. It had rained a few days ago and the vegetables were growing very well.
"The two vegetables on the side are almost grown. The ones that are cut will be eaten later."
Su Yan didn't dare to get the food and sat carefully on the chair in the main room. Just as she was about to say something, she felt a pain in her stomach, which soon disappeared.
She didn't take it seriously. After a while, the labor pain came again. She grabbed the handle of the chair and said to the man who was cooking in the yard: "Mr., I have a stomachache."
The rough man ran over without paying attention to the food in his hands. He lowered his head and saw water stains under her feet. He suddenly panicked, "Did your amniotic fluid break?"
"I'm going to call the midwife." After saying that, he picked her up and walked carefully into the house.
After letting her lie down, he hurried out and quickly brought the midwife over. The midwife breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, "It's still early, we have to wait for a while."
"Go and make some porridge for her, otherwise you won't have enough energy later."
Su Yan was sweating from the pain. Even for someone like her who was not afraid of pain, she couldn't help but moan a few times. Qin An's face suddenly turned pale, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here to guard you."
.”
The midwife urged: "You go out, men can't be here, it's easy to cause bad luck."
"I'm not going out, don't worry about me."
Qin An held Su Yan's hand and continued to comfort her: "Daughter-in-law, I'm right here."
Seeing this, the midwife didn't know what to say, so she had to prepare things. Cuilan, who had returned from shopping for groceries, knew that Su Yan was having a seizure and quickly helped her.
Su Yan's pain lasted for an hour or two, and the pain became stronger and stronger, and there was no trace of blood on her face.
The rough man next to him had red eyes and wished he could bring her up.
He asked Wenpo hoarsely, "How long will it take for the baby to be born?"
"It will take a while before five or six fingers are opened."
The midwife told him not to worry, and added: "It's like this when giving birth, it's okay."
Although he said this, the rough man's face was still pale, and he squatted beside the bed to wipe the woman's sweat, "Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat some cakes? I'll buy them."
Su Yan relieved the pain and took a deep breath, not wanting him to worry in vain, "Eat."
