Three days before the government examination, Qin An set up a carriage and drove there by himself. Su Yan originally planned to accompany him, but thinking that Tuan Tuan could not withstand the bumps, the couple discussed it.
Su Yan didn't mind it either. She hadn't been to the shop for more than a month, so naturally she had to go there. She was worried that Tuan Tuan would be at home, so she let Cuilan hold her together.
Walking from home to the shop, I saw several groups of people building huts by the walls of deserted courtyards. Basically, there were seven or eight people together.
She subconsciously took the child from Cuilan's hand and whispered to Cuilan: "Be careful when going out during these days."
As the weather cooled down, the shop's business improved a lot. Before noon, the shop was already full. When the helper saw Su Yan coming with the child in her arms, he quickly greeted: "My boss."
"Well, don't worry about me, just go and do your own business."
Su Yan sat at the counter with her child in her arms, watching Sun Erdan writing big characters and boasting: "There is progress."
Sun Erdan turned to look at her with some joy, "My boss's aunt."
Then he looked at the sleeping lump in her arms and asked, "Is this my younger brother?"
Sun Erdan thought of something and took out a candy from his arms and gave it to her, "Give it to my brother."
He only knew that candy was delicious, so he wanted to give it to his brother.
The host's aunt was very kind to him and grandpa.
"Brother can't eat right now. You can eat when he is older." Su Yan took out the account book from the counter while holding the child in her arms, and then checked it carefully. Qin An was also very busy during these days, and he didn't check the account book very carefully.
.
Seeing that the price of vegetables had increased by two cents, she folded it and asked the helper. After a while, the helper was not busy, and then she called the helper to come over and asked, "Why did the price of vegetables increase by two cents? It's not even winter yet."
"There are a lot of people coming to collect vegetables during these days. Not only the Guo family, but also the vegetable sellers in the town have increased their prices. The Guo family has relatively little increase," the helper explained.
Hearing this, Su Yan thought about the escape, nodded and said: "Okay, has anyone come to ask for food in the past few days?"
"No, after the officers and soldiers gave out porridge at the entrance of the town, no one came to the shop to ask for it."
The helper hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's the group of people who came to eat before. These days, they come here before dawn to help with the dishes and leave as soon as they are done."
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Should the shop need to hire two more people? If they come tomorrow, let them wait for me to come."
The helper nodded, "Okay, boss, my wife's birthday will be in two days, and I would like to take a day off." After saying that, he picked his head.
"Okay, then I will pay you my wages tomorrow and buy something for my wife." Su Yan said with a smile.
After finishing their work here, Su Yan took Tuan Tuan to the stewed vegetable shop. The eldest couple of the Wang family didn't know how to keep accounts, so Su Yan didn't ask them to keep track of it. How much money they got from the kilograms of stewed vegetables every day.
The attic is where Grandpa Sun and his grandson live. It is clean and obviously cleaned every day.
After not waiting for a while, she returned to the hospital with her child in her arms, and then went out to the market with a basket on her back. The price of vegetables was indeed very expensive. Normally, two cents per pound would be expensive, but now they cost four or five cents.
After a while, I'm afraid it won't be easy to buy vegetables, and those selling vegetables will have nothing to eat.
Thinking of this, Su Yan bought a dozen large pumpkins in one go, sent them home, and then started to work, "Sister Cui, go to the kitchen to boil water."
She sat in the yard, peeling the pumpkin with a knife, and soon there was a pile of pumpkin peels at her feet.
The wet nurse held the child in her arms, patted it, and coaxed him to continue sleeping. "Why did you buy so many pumpkins? I'm afraid they will go bad if you leave them alone."
"Kang a little, put it aside for winter to eat."
"Yeah, it's hard to buy food now, so I'll do the same thing when I get home."
Su Yan smiled and said nothing. For seven or eight days in a row, she went out to the market early in the morning and bought some vegetables every day. After returning to the hospital, she started working.
There are dustpans for drying vegetables everywhere in the kitchen and main room, so be careful when passing by.
On this day, she came out with the dried vegetables from the kitchen kang and spread them out on the table in the main room to wait for cooling.
Afterwards, she took a cloth bag to pack the dried vegetables she had prepared for the kang. After a while, she heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and subconsciously turned her head. Soon she saw a rough man whom she hadn't seen for a few days striding in. She said happily: "Mr.
Qin An strode over and couldn't help grinning when he saw her. Regardless of whether there was anyone or not, he lowered his head and kissed her, and then his eyes fell on the black ash on her cheeks.
He stretched out his hand and wiped it off gently, "Dried Kang vegetables?"
"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy vegetables in winter, so I'll buy some vegetables in advance to dry."
Su Yan looked at his expression and asked, "How was the imperial examination?"
The rough man suddenly bent down and picked her up, saying in a low voice: "It's over, the thirty-eighth one."
Hearing this, Su Yan's eyes lit up and she started to have fun with him, "I knew you could do it. I'll go buy groceries and I'll make delicious food for you later."
The rough man shook his head, carried her into the house, closed the door and said, "Don't eat yet."
Then he put her on the bed, his eyes were deep and his throat rolled unnaturally a few times, "Daughter-in-law, I'm almost suffocated."
Su Yan suddenly blushed. The two of them hadn't had sex for more than a year, and the rough guy was already strong enough to endure it.
She looked at the sky outside and said, "Ahem, later, Sister Cui and the others are still here."
Qin An lowered his head and kissed her lips, his hands began to be dishonest...
Sister Cui outside the door was a visitor. She took her child and went to stay in her own room. It was not until dusk in the afternoon that the door of the main house was opened.
