Chapter 28 He realized that he often looked at Su Yan
It was probably the family reunion dinner. Many people had returned from outside the village. Many women were happily talking in front of the door about what their sons had brought back.
Su Yan heard this in the yard. She borrowed a stove from Goudan's parents' house. It wasn't cold now, so she lent it to her if she didn't need it.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, she started to turn on the stove to make soup, frying it directly in the yard so that she didn't have to carry it around later.
The aroma came out as soon as it was stir-fried, and Goudan ran over eagerly. After a while, Goudan's mother came over too, stood at the door and looked at it: "What soup? It's so fragrant, ah..." After that, he hit
A sneeze.
The chili pepper flavor is a bit pungent.
"Make a soup pot and I will bring some to you later." Su Yan was sweating profusely and raised her hand to wipe her forehead.
Goudan was not polite anymore. She nodded and said enthusiastically: "Okay, my boss is back today and has brought some rice. I'll go get some."
Goudan’s mother is almost thirty years old and got married at the age of fifteen. Of course, Goudan is not the only one with a child.
The eldest is thirteen years old and was sent to the town to learn a trade. Now he is a apprentice and earns three hundred coins a month.
Normally, he would happily tell her about her eldest son.
Su Yan looked at Goudan squatting, she reached out and touched his head, "Auntie will give it to you when it's cooked."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Goudan smiled sheepishly, showing a bit of childishness.
At this time, Qin An came back, and Goudan subconsciously hid behind Su Yan, grabbing the corner of her clothes, obviously scared.
Su Yan glanced at the door. The rough man was wearing a single shirt, with his hair tied back. His clear outlines and lack of expression looked a bit sinister.
This person seems to be a real murderer, but after getting along with him for a long time, I know that he is much better than those smiling women.
"The water is in the main room. I soaked some mint in it. Don't drink it in a hurry."
Then she patted the dog's balls and said, "Call Uncle Qin."
Goudan timidly said: "Uncle Qin."
Su Yan was amused by his cowardly look, "Don't worry, Uncle Qin won't beat you."
"If you want to be sweeter, Uncle Qin can give you some eggs."
Goudan's eyes lit up and he timidly called out again, "Uncle Qin."
Su Yan kept laughing. Qin An glanced at her and his expression softened unconsciously, "Well, I'll bring it to you next time I go up the mountain."
It was the first time Goudan saw him and talked to him, "Thank you, Uncle Qin."
Qin An didn't say anything else. He went into the main room and poured a bowl of water to drink. He was slightly stunned after taking the first sip.
With Su Yan, the water has a sweet taste.
He drank two bowls, walked out of the main room and glanced at the woman subconsciously, then went inside to get some clothes and take a bath.
In the past, when I was alone, I would not change my clothes for the whole day, and I would get as rough as possible. Now, when I enter the house, it is always clean.
Only people smell like sweat.
As long as he stays at home, he will simply wash himself.
At least it won't make Su Yan feel uncomfortable smelling it.
The clothes I changed out at noon have been washed and folded.
Qin An reached out and picked it up. After going out, he said to Su Yan, "I'll wash it."
There is no lock on the kitchen door. You can go in as soon as you push it open. You usually just wipe yourself in the kitchen.
The floor in the room needs to be wet and there will be mud when walking.
Su Yan nodded, "Okay."
She suddenly remembered something and said again: "Wait a minute, I took out the bacon chicken and cooked it."
After saying that, he ran to the kitchen, brought out a large plate of chicken, and poured it into the pot.
At this time, Goudan's mother came over with two pieces of rice cakes. She handed them to Su Yan, "Oh, this smells more and more fragrant. What did you put in it? It's too fragrant."
"Fry the spices with lard. I'll teach you how to make it hot in winter." Su Yan took it and put it on the table in the main room.
Goudan’s mother sat there for a while, then hugged Goudan and went back to celebrate the New Year.
After a while, Qin An came out with the clothes in his arms, threw them into a wooden basin, fetched water and washed them out.
Su Yan quickly shouted: "Brother Qin, soak it with soap locust first, otherwise some dirt will not be washed away."
Qin An put some soap locust and soaked his clothes. Probably he had nothing to do, so he sat on the threshold.
Occasionally, I looked at the woman cooking the soup pot out of the corner of my eye.
Finally, his cheeks felt a little hot.
He has realized that he often looks at Su Yan...
He thought of something, got up and went into the room. He came out soon, walked to Su Yan, and handed it to her, with a slightly unnatural look on his face.
Su Yan looked up and saw two wooden hairpins with two peach blossoms carved on them. They looked quite delicate. She reached out and took them, "Did you make them?"
Qin An said "hmm" and took a look at her expression. He didn't mean he didn't like it. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Just tell me if it's over."
"No effort required."
Su Yan raised her hand and took one and stuck it in her hair. "It will be more convenient in the future. You don't need to use chopsticks."
Her hair was tied into a braid and hung down her back because it was hot, so she stuck it in with chopsticks.
"Brother Qin, you have this skill, why don't you sell this?"
Qin An sat on the stool next to her, took the tongs and dug out the stove, "I only know simple patterns."
Su Yan's eyes lit up, "I can draw blueprints. Brother Qin, I will draw one for you tomorrow. You can take a look. Then there will be no more prey in winter, so you can go to the town and sell this."
"Nowadays, women also like to dress up, and good-looking things can be sold as long as they are not too expensive."
Su Yan really wanted him to have a business and save some money, but she was afraid that he would not agree and said: "When the time comes, I will share 20% of the money earned."
Qin An was not the kind of stubborn person, so he felt it was feasible, so he nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, is the yard almost ready?" Su Yan asked with some joy.
Everyone is building roofs now, and it looks like it will be done soon.
The Qin family has never been her own, and she always feels a little cautious in everything she does.
Qin An lowered his head slightly and moved the tongs in his hand unnaturally, "Not yet, we haven't done anything about the yard yet."
"It will take at least another month."
Su Yan thought she had some money in her hand, "How about I go to the town to find two helpers, so that you won't be so tired."
Qin An pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "When the farming season is busy, the labor cost is twice as high, which is not cost-effective."
He paused and then said, "Are you in a hurry?"
"No need to worry, I just stay here all the time and trouble you all the time."
Su Yan knew that Qin An rarely came out at night in order to avoid suspicion and stayed in the house after dinner.
Sometimes I hear banging in the house, and I know he is busy.
Qin An glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said, "No trouble, the room is empty."
At this moment, a dog barked outside. Su Yan turned to look at the door. Half of the sky outside was dyed red.
Smoke filled the roofs of every house.
She turned back and took off the lid of the pot, smelling the aroma, "You can cook the vegetables first and eat them. The bean sprouts I sprouted are also ready and they are quite tender."
After saying that, she got up and went to get the food, and then took two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, "Eat while it's hot, the mushrooms in the pot are ready to eat."
Qin An took it, picked up a piece of mushroom and ate it. It was a little spicy, but very delicious. "It's delicious."
