Chapter 301 Mom is tired from working, so hold on to her first
The two of them picked for a quarter of an hour. Zhang Xiu came over to pick together. Erdan followed, and the group of people worked hard until the sun went down.
As soon as Su Yan was about to carry the basket, Qin An lifted it up with one hand and carried it in front of him, then held her hand and said in a low voice: "You guys watch the road."
After saying that, he walked ahead to explore the way for a few people.
It had been a long time since she walked on the mountain road in the village. Su Yan was still shaken. If he hadn't been holding her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing this, Qin An put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the courtyard with the last trace of sunset.
The few of them didn't wait long, packed up and got on the carriage.
Tuan Tuan started crying halfway through the journey, and Su Yan couldn't coax her. Finally, Qin An stopped the carriage and hugged Tuan Tuan to comfort her.
It took two or three quarters of an hour to coax him to sleep. Su Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said softly: "Now that you are used to coaxing him, he will want you to coax him."
"When you get back to the county town, I'll be the one to coax you at night, otherwise you won't have a clean life."
"I coax."
Qin An just wanted her to be cleaner, so he carried Tuantuan behind him with a strap, and then motioned for them to get into the carriage.
Su Yan sat outside to take care of her children. When she arrived in the town, there was no one on the street.
Su Yan originally thought that there was nothing to eat at home, but when she entered the main room, she saw a basket of vegetables and several kilograms of rice.
She felt a little warm and said, "Mr., there's no need to buy groceries. You go and put Tuantuan in the house to sleep."
"I'm going to cook, Erdan, do you want to eat hot food? Mom will cook hot food for you?"
"Eat, mother, I'll help you wash the vegetables."
"Okay, Xiaoxiu, Sister Cui, wash the chrysanthemums, then spread them out to dry with some water on them."
After saying that, she took the basket and went to the kitchen to cook.
Not long after, the kitchen was filled with fragrance. When Qin An came out of the shower and saw the figure in the kitchen, his heart felt filled with something.
He said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, I'm going out to buy a roast duck."
"Okay, go and see if there are any, and buy some snacks for Erdan to eat." Su Yan took out her head from the kitchen.
"good."
Qin An went out in the night. After a while, he carried several large bags of things and a lot of paper money.
He put it in the yard, then carried the roast duck into the kitchen, "Daughter-in-law, I will go back to the village later to burn paper for my parents, and I will bring Erdan to burn it tomorrow."
Tomorrow afternoon, they have to go back to the county town, and there is no time to go back to the village to burn incense.
"I'll go with you. I didn't even burn incense for my parents."
"It's okay, my parents understand."
"No, they're all back."
Seeing her insistence, Qin An had no choice but to nod in agreement. Fortunately, Tuantuan stayed up all night and could sleep until the next day.
Su Yan looked at the roast duck in his hand, and it still smelled fragrant, "I'm still a little greedy. I don't know how their roast duck is made. The skin is crispy."
Hearing this, Qin An washed the cutting board, took a kitchen knife and sliced off a piece of meat from the duck leg, and then fed it to Su Yan's mouth, "Daughter-in-law, here it is."
Su Yan glanced at Erdan and said, "Feed Erdan first."
Qin An insisted: "You eat first."
He was always looking after his wife first, and after she had finished eating, he took a piece of it and gave it to Erdan, saying in a low voice: "Mom is tired from working, so hold on to her first."
Sun Erdan nodded obediently. He knew that his father didn't dislike him. Last time his brother was there, his father also gave his mother something to eat first.
He took it and handed it to Qin An, "Dad, you eat first."
Qin Anxin softened, "Eat by yourself, and..." After saying that, he took the duck meat with a razor blade.
While the food was being put on the table, the woman across the door was yelling at her daughter-in-law.
"It's useless if you can't give birth to something useful! You can eat whatever you want. You think the widow across from you is more useful than you."
"Get out, don't eat."
Hearing the word "widow", Qin An frowned, and Su Yan stretched out her hand to hold him, indicating that it was okay, "Ms., eat, we will go back to the village later."
A few people liked the hot dishes today. After they finished eating, Su Yan was busy returning to the village with Qin An and asked Zhang Xiu to wash the dishes.
After exchanging a few words, the two of them waited for the courtyard door to be closed from the inside before driving the carriage back to the village.
On the way, I met the village's donkey cart, with several village men sitting on it. It was probably just now that they had finished their work.
Watching the carriage passing by, the man on the donkey said, "The Qin family is so lucky."
The two people here didn't know anything about it. When they returned to the village, they pulled the carriage into the yard and then walked into the mountains carrying lanterns.
It's been a long time since I've been here, and a lot of weeds have grown on the roadside, and even more on the graves.
Su Yan held the lantern and said, "Ms. sir, pull the grass, otherwise it will burn easily if the weather gets hotter."
Qin An said "Yeah", stretched out his hand and pulled her to stand on the road, "Don't move."
There is a hurdle just a few steps behind you.
"Okay." Su Yan nodded.
The men gathered around the tomb, pulling grass quickly, and for a quarter or two, they held the grass and threw it into the bamboo forest next to it.
At this time, Su Yan suddenly froze and said, "Ms. Sir, Snake."
Upon hearing this, Qin An immediately turned his head and saw a snake a few steps away from Su Yan with its head erect and looking at her.
His heart was lifted, and he subconsciously ran over and picked her up.
The snake attacked in this direction. Qin An reacted very quickly and stepped on the snake's head, but he didn't use any force.
He put Su Yan down, then bent down to hold the snake, tied it into a knot, and swung it far away.
"It's okay, wife."
Su Yan felt a little more at ease. Although she was not afraid of these things, it was still a bit scary to face him coldly.
"Be careful, you don't know if there is a snake nest."
Qin An was not afraid himself, but he was afraid of biting his wife, so he burned the incense faster. When the paper money was burned out, he squatted down and said: "Daughter-in-law, I will carry you."
Su Yan was not polite, she got on his back, her wide waist made people feel reassured, "There are some paper money left, do you want to burn them all?"
"Burn some for the Li family." Qin An carried the basket with paper money and went to the other side.
The Li family's tomb is made of stone, but there isn't much grass growing there.
Su Yan said: "I'll take it to Jiang's house tomorrow and help find someone to dig up my parents' graves again."
"Okay." Qin An responded.
It was almost midnight when the two returned to the town. Zhang Xiu had been guarding the door. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he glanced through the crack in the door and then opened the door for them.
Zhang Xiu whispered: "Madam, sir, warm water in the kitchen."
"Okay, you go and have a rest." Su Yan patted her back gently.
…
The two of them woke up before dawn the next day. Qin An and Su Yan took Er Dan to burn paper money for Grandpa Sun. Er Dan never mentioned missing Grandpa Sun.
But as soon as he arrived at the graveside, he started crying, "Grandpa, I am good. My parents are very good to me. You must be very good in heaven too..."
Qin An bent down to pick him up and raised his hand to wipe his tears. He was not very good at comforting others and just patted his back gently.
After burning the paper, I stopped by the kiln on the edge of town to ask about the bottle. I happened to be leaving the kiln, but before I got close, the old man shouted: "Don't come here, woman, the kiln is open today."
The rule here is that women are not allowed to open the kiln, otherwise the kiln cannot be run well.
The woman in the house heard the sound and came out to greet her: "Come in, what do you want to buy?"
"Buy some small porcelain vases." Su Yan led Sun Erdan and followed the woman into the courtyard. There were many jars placed in the courtyard, most of which were pickle jars.
