Chapter 288: I can’t protect them if I return to the village
After the food was served, Qin An did not go to eat at the same table as them. Su Yan also knew that it was not good, so she left some dishes for them alone, "There is still a lot of chicken in the earthen pot. You can pick it up after you finish it."
Zhang Xiu and Cuilan didn't come to the table to eat, and only Erdan ate with her.
Mrs. Jiang originally thought that others were exaggerating, but when she ate the food cooked by Su Yan, she realized that it was not. It did taste very good.
She was a little curious, "Why are your potatoes smelly but still crispy?"
"Just run it through water. I'll marinate it for a while before frying it. I originally wanted to mix it and eat it, but the sun didn't come out this afternoon and it's a bit cold. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." Su Yan put a chicken drumstick for Erdan, and then
He didn't say anything, just held the bowl and ate by himself.
If others would have taken the opportunity to get acquainted with them, she didn't.
When they come, she will entertain them.
She was neither cold nor enthusiastic, but Mrs. Jiang fell in love with this and spoke to her in a more sincere manner, "How about you teach me how to do it when you have time?"
It is not difficult to eat these things. Su Yan nodded, "Come over when you have time. You are always at home."
Mrs. Jiang nodded and said nothing after that. When leaving, Mrs. Ren Li sighed to Su Yan: "You are a capable person."
"I can do it all, even if you can do it, I can't do it either."
Su Yan was afraid that it would not be safe for them to go home. After all, they were all wives, so she added: "Just wait for me and I will ask my husband to take you back."
"Ms. sir, you hitch the carriage and see them off. I'll go with you."
Qin An in the room heard the voice and came out, "Okay,"
He turned around and went to the stable to take the horse out. Then he put the carriage box back on, checked it was tight and said, "That's ok."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Su Yan and he said: "Go get the cloak and put it on."
"It's okay, it'll be a while..."
Before Su Yan could finish her words, Qin An walked towards the house. After a while, he came out with a towel and put it on her body.
Didn't say anything.
After the women got on the carriage, Su Yan sat next to Qin An. The wind was a bit cold now. She opened her cloak, wrapped it around Qin An's back from behind, and grabbed his other waist.
Qin An looked forward and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about me."
Su Yan looked at him and smiled, then whispered: "Erdan's writing brush is not very easy to write with. I will buy two if I pass by the bookstore later and see if it is closed."
Qin An said "Yeah" and sent these people back to the hospital one after another. The two of them walked around and passed the door of the bookstore. It happened that the bookstore was not closed yet, so Su Yan went down to pick two brushes and went home.
As soon as he got home, Erdan brought hot water from the kitchen and said obediently: "Auntie, you guys drink sugar water."
Su Yan stretched out her hand to take it and took a sip. After putting down the bowl, she handed him the brush and said, "Throw away that brush. Use this one to write. If it breaks, let us know."
Sun Erdan looked at the brand new brush and felt a little worried about the money, "Auntie, did you spend a lot of money on it?"
"Don't worry, aunt can still afford to support your son." Su Yan heard that Erdan was a little too sensible. Even if he was asked to follow them, he would always treat himself like a human being.
She added: "You don't need to study all day long. If you want to go out and play, you can go out and play. We only let you study so that you can read and not be cheated in the future. We don't want you to support us."
"As long as you and your brother are safe."
In the past, she might have wanted her children to have a bright future, but now she just wants them to be safe.
She and Qin An are safe and sound.
"Auntie, I will support you and Uncle Qin from now on." Sun Erdan's young face was full of seriousness. He knew that if it weren't for auntie and the others, he would have starved to death.
Auntie is the best person he has ever met.
Su Yan smiled and touched his head. She suddenly remembered something and got up and went back to the house. Then she came out with a money bag and said, "Sister Cui, Xiaoxiu, come here and we'll clean it up later."
"I said I would calculate your wages before, but I haven't calculated them yet. If Sister Cui stays longer, I will give you two taels of silver, and Xiao Xiu will give you eight hundred coins." After that, he handed it to them one by one.
"As long as you work honestly, I won't treat you badly."
Then she took out twenty coins and gave them to Sun Erdan. When she met his confused eyes, she explained: "You can buy whatever snacks you like. You don't have to save them. Auntie will give them to you in a few days."
Sun Erdan refused to take it. Finally, Qin An gave it to him, and he carefully accepted it.
…
In the next few days, Su Yan went to Ren's shop every day to work. At first, she just taught her a few soup dishes. Later, Mr. Ren asked her to try other dishes, which was a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, there were people at home to help with the cooking.
meal.
Two or three quarters of an hour after dusk that day, Su Yan was still working in the kitchen when a helper suddenly called her, "Little lady, there is a man looking for you."
Su Yan, who was cooking, immediately said: "That's my husband-in-law, just let him in."
After a while, Qin An came in with the child in his arms. He was worried that the smell would choke the child, so he stood at the door and watched the woman busy. When she didn't go to the county town, she still had a lot of flesh on her cheeks, and she was gradually losing weight these days.
He pursed his lips unconsciously, and for a moment he wanted to take her back to the village.
But when he returned to the village, he really couldn't protect them.
Su Yan glanced here out of the corner of her eye and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, "Mr. sir, you guys sit outside and wait. I'll be finished in a minute."
"Be good, my mother will come to hug you soon."
She hadn't paid much attention to her child these days, so naturally she missed him a little.
Qin An said "Yeah", turned around and went out, took the child to the pastry shop to buy pastries, and finally bought some fruits.
When Su Yan came out from her work and saw no one, she asked the helper who was clearing the tables and chairs, "Where is my husband-in-law?"
"I just went out, I guess I went home." The helper said politely.
Hearing this, Su Yan nodded, and just as she was about to leave, she saw Qin An coming in with her child in her arms. She immediately smiled, "Where are you going?"
"Buy something."
Qin An handed her what he was holding and said, "The fruits have been washed, but the pastries are still warm."
This happened not once or twice, but every time Su Yan was very happy and said, "Okay."
She opened the paper bag and gave some to the child who was eagerly watching the food in her hands. Then she fed Qin An slightly on her tiptoes. After he took a bite, she started eating next to him.
Qin An held the child with one hand and put his other hand on her shoulder.
The streets were crowded with people, and a family of three stood out.
There was no need to work anymore after today's work. The next day, Su Yan was too lazy to sleep in. She got up and went to the kitchen to find a bowl of goat's milk warming in the pot. "Sister Cui, where did you get the goat's milk?"
"I went out to buy it before dawn, and told me to watch you finish it," Cuilan said.
Su Yan nodded and finished drinking from the bowl, "What did he eat this morning?"
"For last night's cold meal, I originally wanted to cook some vegetables, but the master said he wouldn't cook for fear of waking up my wife, so he gave us money to eat noodles outside."
Cuilan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master seems to be a little uncomfortable. He has been covering his mouth and coughing this morning."
