Chapter 280 Let your mother sit in the rocking chair
Under the candlelight in the room, the figure beside the bed flickered in and out, and occasionally there was a faint sound.
The business at home has improved a lot these days, and the business in the town is also good. The eldest brother of the Wang family sends account books and money every two weeks.
Su Yan gave him a salary increase of one or two cents. The eldest brother of the Wang family was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and thanked him repeatedly.
When business at home is good, Su Yan's shoulders are more relaxed and she spends time at home with her son every day.
Qin An took advantage of his free time at night and made him a rocking chair. He had to rock it for a while every day, otherwise it would make a lot of noise.
On this day, Su Yan teased him and refused to let him shake, so he kept babbling for a long time, making the three adults laugh together.
Tuantuan was also a little tempered now, so she put him up and shook him, but he was not happy anymore and would not let Su Yan hold him.
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand to hold his little hand, and whispered: "You are ignoring mother? Are you so stingy? I will file a complaint with your father later."
Tuantuan ignored her, Cuilan hugged her and coaxed her, "Your mother is teasing you, don't be angry, Tuantuan."
Su Yan raised her head and looked at the sky. It was already getting late, "Xiao Xiu, please close the stall and go over to cook. Today we will buy some vegetables and make a soup pot."
Zhang Xiu has become a lot more mellow these days. She especially likes the food cooked by her wife, "Good."
Sister Cui smiled and said, "Xiao Xiu even told me today that the soup pot made by my wife is delicious. When will I make it again?"
Zhang Xiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and Su Yan smiled and said, "From now on, you can tell me what you want to eat. You don't have to be unreasonable as a family, otherwise I will have to worry about what to make for you all day long."
Qin An is not picky and eats whatever she cooks.
"I put the little dough left in the kitchen to cook the dough, so I don't have to cook. I'm getting tired of eating every day."
She went to clean up the things in the kitchen, and Cuilan took the child to the house to get diapers. It wasn't that Su Yan didn't want to take care of the child.
Sister Cui has taken care of children before and is much more skilled than Su Yan.
A few people had just locked up the yard, and the woman next door passed by with a basket, "Are you going to cook for your family again?"
"I'm afraid I would have burned a lot of incense in my previous life by asking for a wife like you."
Everyone in this alley knows that the new woman in this house is very capable. She is busy with business every day, takes care of her children, and even buys vegetables to cook for her husband.
Su Yan smiled and said: "It's my blessing. My family treats me well, so I just cook. Sister, how much is a pound of Houttuynia cordata?"
"It's expensive. It's only four cents a pound. If there wasn't anything to eat today, I wouldn't buy this thing. It's bitter and tastes bad. It's just my man who likes it." The woman complained with a smile.
Su Yan said: "Put it under some water and then cool it, it won't be so fishy. I have prepared ingredients at home. If you want, I'll get some for you."
"Then I'm not welcome. The ingredients you prepared must be delicious. I bought your braised pork yesterday. It was glutinous and fragrant. I wanted to buy it today, but the master said it was sold out. I'll tell you tomorrow.
Go early." The woman said happily.
Su Yan opened the door and went in to get the spices. The woman was a little embarrassed, so she grabbed a handful of Houttuynia cordata and gave it to her, "to relieve her tiredness."
"Need not."
Before Su Yan finished speaking, the woman left in a hurry. She couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only put the Houttuynia cordata in the basket.
…
As soon as Qin An came back, Su Yan poured the vegetables into the pot and cooked them, "Ms. sir, I'm afraid you won't have time to sleep after eating this."
Qin An said "hmm", and Su Yan glanced at him, seeming to feel that he was a little unhappy, but she didn't think it was because of her.
"What's wrong? Someone in the academy is causing trouble for you again?"
"No."
Qin An pursed his lips and said disgustedly: "Someone brought me food."
Su Yan couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with this? I just don't answer it."
Qin Anhei said solemnly: "Male."
Su Yan: "..."
She had heard that some men in the academy had broken sleeves, but she didn't expect that someone would take Qin An's mind, and she couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
Thinking of this, she took a closer look at her husband. After staying in the academy these days, his complexion has become whiter, his skin is no longer rough, his eyebrows are deep, and his nose is straight.
Handsome and upright.
It's normal for men to like this kind of appearance.
"Just ignore it."
Qin An came over and kissed her, "Where is Tuantuan?"
"Sister Cui and Xiaoxiu took them out to buy some fruits to eat." As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, the two came back holding Tuantuan in their arms.
Su Yan wiped her hands and went to hug him, but he turned his head and refused to hug him. She turned to look at Qin An, "Your son is stingy. Now I am teasing him. If I don't let him sit in the rocking chair, he won't let me hug him.
"
Qin An smiled, stretched out his arms and hugged Tuan Tuan, "Your mother is teasing you, you are such a stingy bitch. If you ignore her again, I will give your mother the rocking chair to sit on."
Upon hearing this, several people laughed. Tuan Tuan didn't know what he was talking about and just followed him with joy.
Su Yan couldn't help but kiss him, raised her head to meet the man's gaze, and kissed him shamelessly, "Okay, let's eat."
Sister Cui and Zhang Xiu were used to it. After smiling, they went to get bowls and chopsticks to eat.
After dinner, Qin An saw that there was still a while, so he packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash. After washing, he came out and said to Su Yan, "Daughter-in-law, I have a break tomorrow, do you want to go back to town and stay for a day?"
Su Yan thought that he had finally rested for a day and was very tired from running around. She shook her head and said: "Let's go shopping in the county town tomorrow. I haven't gone to many places."
"Okay." Qin An came over and played with the children for a while before heading to the academy.
Just as Su Yan and others were about to lock the door and go back, Wu Kun came to look for her. Su Yan gave the child to Sister Cui, "What's wrong?"
"Just now, someone from the Chamber of Commerce sent me a post asking me to go to the Jiang Family Courtyard for dinner in the evening. I thought this would be a good opportunity for others to get to know you, so I wanted to come over and give you a shout." Wu Kun explained.
Every year, more than a dozen big food shops in the county gather together. This is the first time for the Wu family to go there this year, and they are afraid that they will be intimidated.
He added: "But I'm afraid it won't do any good if we go here today. It will definitely embarrass us."
This trip is definitely going. If Su Yan wants to do business in the county, she has to meet these people face to face. The others can make money based on their own abilities.
"I'm going, when?"
"After dusk."
"Okay, I'll take my husband with me."
Wu Kun had no objection and nodded: "Manxiangji has been friends with those people for more than ten years, and they will probably put pressure on us."
"To do business, you have to be bold. The more afraid you are, the more pressure they will put on you. As long as the business of the shop is good, they won't dare to do anything to us." Su Yan reassured.
Even if they keep hiding and giving way, they may not let them go.
In business, you have to be stuck for a while, just get over it.
She added: "Do you know who is going? Find out first so that you won't panic then."
Wu Kun nodded, "I know, Jade House, Orchid House, Chunjing Pavilion, and Manxiang House, these four are the oldest restaurants in the county, and they have the most say."
Hearing this, Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Xiaoxiu, I'll give you some money. You go to these restaurants and buy some signature dishes."
