The woman's happy face made Qin An feel a little moved. He bent down and kissed her, "Okay, then you will raise chickens and I will grow vegetables."
Su Yan glared at him. At this moment, she saw a fungus in her eyes. She bent down and gently picked it up, then threw it into the basket. "You go up and fetch some water. I'll look for it here."
"Okay, don't go far."
Qin An continued walking up the mountain. After fetching water, he carried it down the mountain. The water in the bucket swayed with his footsteps and a little swayed out.
When he got to where he was just now, he didn't see his wife, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Wife."
"Here, come right over." Su Yan bent down and walked out of the grass, covered in grass residue.
She held up the basket and showed it to Qin An, "I also picked up a lot of little fungi."
"You go back, I'll wait for you here."
Qin An was not at ease, "I'll pick it up after you pick it up."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you here, go quickly." Su Yan urged.
The man had no choice but to carry water down the mountain and hurried over in about a quarter of an hour, fearing that someone would snatch his wife away.
Su Yan searched nearby but didn't pick up anything. When she saw him coming, she said, "I'll pick it up over there."
"The officers and soldiers came to the house just now. The burning of the mountain last time had nothing to do with us. Someone accidentally burned the mountain and bribed the village chief to say that it was us who burned it." Qin An raised his hand and pulled his sleeves to wipe the sweat on her forehead.
Hearing this, Su Yan didn't quite believe this statement. How could it be such a coincidence, but I'm afraid it had to be like this.
After all, there are no people from the government, so it's pretty good now, at least my family won't be implicated in anything.
She said: "What did you say?"
Qin An said in a low voice: "I didn't say anything."
Of course he understands this. If he has no ability to protect his wife and children, he will not show off.
Su Yan nodded in relief and did not continue to talk about the matter. She started to think about Tuan Tuan at this moment.
The older the child gets, the more reluctant she is to let him go.
I was pretty lucky today. I stepped on the side of a snake and walked over. When I saw some movement, I realized I had encountered a snake.
She didn't dare to move while holding the basket, and just watched it run forward.
Now he didn't dare to crawl into the grass cage, and quickly shouted to Qin An above: "Mr., there is a snake."
As soon as he heard that there was a snake, Qin An dropped the barrel and ran down. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was okay, and then put his hands on her waist.
Picking her up, Su Yan hugged his neck and said, "He just went over there."
Qin An held her thighs with his hands and walked towards the ground. He let her down after there was no more grass. "Stop picking it up. There are many snakes here."
"Wait here, I'll pick it up."
He took the basket in her hand and walked towards the grass cage.
Seeing the man bending down to look for mushrooms, Su Yan's eyebrows lit up. She was not idle either. She bent down to pick up twigs on the ground and brought them back to light the fire.
After the two finished their work, the sun was almost setting. Su Yan was wearing straw sandals and scooping water to rinse her feet. Seeing Qin An coming over, she scooped water for him to rinse her feet with.
"Tuantuan is still sleeping?"
"Well, my belly is exposed." Qin An bent down and rubbed his feet, while Su Yan helped him rinse them at the platform.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of what Zhang Xiu wanted to say next to her, and she asked, "What's wrong?"
"There is a Mrs. Qi in the shop this afternoon who wants to see you." Zhang Xiu said.
Su Yan didn't plan to meet Mrs. Qi now, and when she did, she would probably scold her arrogantly.
"When I find her later, I'll ask her to go back and say I'm very busy."
"Go and boil the water in the pot and cook the mushrooms later."
While speaking, she washed her hands, then sat on a low stool, holding a fungus and gently shaking the residue on it.
Zhang Xiu added: "That Mrs. Qi said that if she didn't see her, she would attack the young master."
Hearing this, Su Yan frowned, but she wasn't too scared, "Where did she say we would meet?"
"The biggest teahouse." Zhang Xiu said.
Su Yan said "hmm", but did not get up and carefully twisted the residue on the mushroom.
It's not that she ignored Tuantuan's comfort, Tuantuan was much safer than her.
There are people watching Xiao Lan and not protecting her, but Tuantuan and Qin An will certainly do so.
As for Mrs. Qi, she was just desperate and she didn't dare to attack Tuantuan at all.
If you want to do it, just do it directly without telling Zhang Xiu.
It's just to scare her so that she doesn't dare to fight with her.
When she was ready to open a shop, she was ready to face the Qi family's revenge.
It's not that she causes trouble, there are some things that she can't avoid, and if she avoids others, she will bully her again.
Zhang Xiu wanted to say something else, but Cuilan came over and pulled her and said, "I'll go to the kitchen with you."
After entering the kitchen, Cuilan reminded in a low voice: "Madam knows what she's doing, just cook the mushrooms as she said."
Both she and Su Yan knew that Zhang Xiu was a good girl and had a good mind.
Zhang Xiu whispered: "I'm just a little worried."
"It's useless for you to worry about these things. Madam and Master know what to do. Madam is good to us, but we must also know what to do."
Cuilan's words made Zhang Xiu seem to understand something. Her expression changed slightly, "Would Madam think I'm too talkative?"
"Madam, you are being treated well. We can just do our duty." Cuilan did not tell lies. Su Yan did not treat them like servants.
Just helping with some work around the house.

Qin An got the melon from the well, cut it into several pieces with a knife in the main room, and finally took a piece of the melon pulp in the middle.
He walked to his wife's side, knelt down and fed her to her mouth.
Su Yan glanced at it, and without stopping what she was doing, she opened her mouth and took a bite, "This one is quite sweet. The melon pulp I bought last time was pink."
"Take a bite yourself."
Qin An turned his head to nibble on the meat on the side, which was not as sweet as the middle. "Let me buy it next time you want to eat it." He fed her another mouthful as he spoke.
"good."
Su Yan twisted the dregs on the fungus and said: "You won't go to the mountains later. Tomorrow morning, I will pick up two small buckets and pick them with you. Hurry up."
"I'm not old yet."
Qin An squatted down and fed her the melon pulp, then said, "I'll be back when the fungus soup is ready."
"Then be careful." Su Yan warned.
The night was getting dark, and the big tanks at home were full. Su Yan was afraid that the residue would get in and be wasted, so she found a few large wooden lids, washed them and covered them.
These tanks will not be used for the time being, and will be used until there is no water in the well.
The man at home was tired from carrying water, so Su Yan was reluctant to boil water and take a bath in the tub. After boiling some water, she carried it back to the house to wipe herself.
Qin An hugged Tuantuan and took a look, then put Tuantuan on the bed. He got up and went out. After a while, he came in with two buckets of water and poured them into the bathtub.
"Let's have a party."
My daughter-in-law loves to be clean and likes to take a bath.
He added: "If there is no water in the mountains, I will go back to the town to wash it. You can wash it if you want. It won't be a problem."
Su Yan didn't say anything when she saw him pouring water. She soaked in the tub and looked up at him slightly, "I'll take a bath. You won't be tired from running around."
Qin An bent down and picked up the towel from the bathtub to wipe her back. His eyes ran across her white skin and he said in a low voice, "I'm not tired."
Feeling that the big hand was dishonest, Su Yan froze for a moment, blushed and whispered to him: "Be honest, Tuantuan is still awake."
