The weather is nice today, and the sun is shining in the afternoon. Tuan Tuan rarely comes out. He opens his eyes and looks left and right. He is in better spirits than anyone else.
Su Yan was amused by him, "Mom will take you out to play in the future."
Cuilan looked at the sideshow not far away and said, "Madam, there are too many people there, so we won't go there because we will crowd the children later."
Su Yan thought that Sun Erdan must have never seen it, so she said, "Ms. sir, please take Erdan to see it. Let's sit here and have some snacks."
"good."
Qin An handed the ball to Sister Cui and said in a low voice: "Don't let my wife hold it, she has a backache."
Then he squatted down and motioned for Sun Erdan to ride on his neck.
Sun Erdan's eyes lit up, but he shook his head obediently, "Uncle Qin, I can stand and watch by myself."
Seeing that he was not moving, Qin An picked him up with both hands and put him on his shoulders, "Hold on."
Then we went to the sideshow.
Cuilan sighed: "The master has a cold face and a warm heart."
Su Yan held Zhang Xiu's hand, sat down at the stall selling pancakes, and said with a smile: "It looks much better now."
"I want three pancakes."
"Okay, I'll be here right away." The stall owner responded immediately.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qin An came back with Sun Erdan in hand. Su Yan called for a few more pancakes and turned around to see Sun Erdan looking at Qin An secretly.
She couldn't help but smile, pretending not to see it, and discussed with Qin An: "Let's go to the pond to grill fish later. I just happened to have a meal with Uncle Zhou and the others. I kept saying that I didn't have time to invite them to dinner."
Qin An shook his head, "I'm going to buy groceries to eat at home. I'll do it. You guys have a rest today."
"It's okay, grilling fish isn't too tiring."
"Daughter-in-law, listen to me now."
Hearing this, Su Yan didn't say anything. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Sister Cui and Zhang Xiu snickering, and said half-jokingly: "Sister Cui, Xiaoxiu, if you laugh again, I will make my husband hurt you."
Zhang Xiu's temperament became much more lively, and she laughed even more when she said it.
The few of them sat down and finished eating the cakes, then walked around the market and bought a lot of vegetables. Qin An was cooking in the kitchen, while Sister Cui went to call the Zhou family to come over for dinner.
Perhaps she was a man who knew her body well. She felt soreness in her waist while sitting and lighting the fire. She stretched out her hand and squeezed it.
Qin An, who was washing rice, naturally saw him. He took the handkerchief to wipe his hands, came over and squatted in front of her, and gently kneaded her waist with his hands.
After a while, he stood up to pour the wine, then closed the kitchen door, "Daughter-in-law, take off your clothes and I'll rub it for you."
Su Yan unbuttoned her clothes, leaving only a bellyband. Qin An poured the wine and said softly, "Don't hug her too often. After giving birth to a child, your waist is not in good shape."
"good."
Su Yan's eyes fell on his lowered eyebrows. She stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek and sighed: "I am so lucky."
The more she lives with him, the more blessed she feels.
Although the man can't say anything sweet, everything falls on her.
After Qin An kneaded it, he put down the wine bowl and closed her clothes for her. "Good luck."
"Sit and rest, no need to help, I can cook."
Watching her cook every day, he still knows how to cook a lot of dishes.
"Okay, you can fry it if you want." Su Yan took out the tongs and took out the stove.
…
The business of Manxiangji was getting worse and worse. One day, Mrs. Ren Li came to the door with some things.
Su Yan was feeding the baby and did not go out immediately. She waited until the baby was full before going to the door.
Ren Li stood next to the stall, her expression less arrogant and domineering than last time.
She said: "You don't need to apologize, the matter is over."
Mrs. Ren Li was a little pleased that she was so easy to talk to. Before she could say anything, she heard her say again: "Apologizing can't save anything, and my family won't accept it either."
Immediately, Ren Li's expression froze, and she opened her mouth, but she didn't say what she wanted to say. After a while, she said: "Besides asking you to call me back, you can make other requests as you like."
"no."
Su Yan helped Zhang Xiu pack the fish cakes and said: "You just came to my house to make trouble, so I probably accepted it, but you and others in the academy isolated my husband and bullied him."
"I'm just a husband, and I won't give in."
"This is my fault. I will go to the academy and tell others later that I will not do this again in the future." Ren Li said in a low tone.
Su Yan packed a few fish cakes and then said: "Don't worry about me. When I'm easy to talk to, I'm easy to talk to. When I'm not easy to talk to, I can't talk to you easily."
Ren Li was so angry that her face turned red. Now she regretted targeting them at that time. She should not have gotten into trouble if she had known better.
Seeing that there was nothing she could do, she had to ask Ren Hui to go find Qin An and put in a good word.
Over here, the academy
Taking advantage of the rest, Ren Hui walked to Qin An's side and said, "Qin An, I have something to tell you."
After hearing this, Qin An sat up straight and copied the book skillfully with a brush, without any intention of getting up.
Obviously my family is not poor, but I copy books like a poor scholar all day long.
Ren Hui saw him like this and thought he was easy to bully. Who would have thought that his family was doing business.
"It was me who did that before... No, can you tell your wife not to target my family?"
Qin An stopped writing and looked up at him with cold eyes, "If you were in the village, I would have taken care of your house long ago."
"I didn't take action because I didn't want the money my wife earned to be used to compensate you."
"Don't stand here with me."
After saying that, he took the writing brush and continued copying.
When other colleagues saw the movement and came over here, Ren Hui was a little embarrassed, but he could only endure it, "How about I give you a thousand taels of silver as compensation?"
"My family is not short of money." Qin An said in a low voice.
"Then if you still copy books, you won't make a thousand taels in your lifetime by copying books." Ren Hui said.
Qin An ignored him. He wanted to make money, but he also just wanted to make money with his own hands to help support his family.
There was not much money for copying books, but he could always buy something for his wife and children occasionally.
Every time he buys something, his wife says she doesn't want it, but she always enjoys it for a while.
At night, when the couple waited for the child to fall asleep, they talked about it as gossip. After a few words, they went to bed.
Early the next morning, heavy rain like beans poured down, hitting the roof with a crackling sound, and everyone was woken up, crying and unable to stop.
Qin An quickly got up and closed the window, but it was of no use. Su Yan lifted up her inner clothes to nurse, "Ms. sir, how are you going to study today?"
"I'm afraid my clothes will get wet."
"It's okay, I'll walk faster." Qin An wasn't worried about himself. He sat on the edge of the bed and patted Tuantuan's back gently, trying to stop him from crying.
"No, I'm going to look for the coir raincoat. It seems to be in the utility room."
When Su Yan saw that the baby was not feeding, she handed him the lump, then put on her cloak and looked for the coir raincoat. It took a while to find it.
The coir raincoat was covered with dust and cobwebs.
She took it to the kitchen and hung it up, and wiped it clean bit by bit with a wet handkerchief. Her hands were almost frozen by the cold water.
Qin An came over with the child in his arms, quickly took the handkerchief, threw it aside, and then pulled her into the house.
"I'll figure it out myself. I'll lie down in bed and cover myself for a while."
