Chapter 324: He doesn’t know how to drink flower wine
Late at night, Qin’s courtyard
There was a sound at the courtyard door, and soon there were footsteps. Inside the house, Su Yan was playing around. She just woke up and cried when she didn't see her father.
When she heard the noise, she hugged Tuantuan and coaxed: "Daddy is back."
Qin An, who was closing the door, heard the sound and turned around to look, "Is it a night?"
"I kept calling daddy when I woke up, and cried when I didn't see you." Su Yan smelled the scent of makeup on his body when she walked in. No wonder Goudan knew it.
She asked again: "How is it?"
"I gave you money to make a show."
Qin An coaxed to Tuantuan: "Wait for daddy to go change clothes."
Su Yan held her son in her arms and sat in the yard waiting. After a while, Qin An came out with his upper body naked and his hair slightly wet.
He hugged Tuantuan and sat on the stool, teaching in a low voice: "Don't disturb mother's sleep in the middle of the night."
"Daddy will come back."
"Mom is very tired and needs to sleep."
Tuantuan hugged him and laughed, his little head shaking like something, but he obviously didn't understand what he was saying.
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand to pinch his little face, "Other people have sons who cling to their mothers, so you cling to your father."
Then she got down to business, "Did Brother Jiang tell you anything? Why did the couple become like this?"
Two years ago, Jiang Caifu looked much better than he is now, but things have changed in just a few years.
Qin An said in a low voice: "I have plenty of money."
Su Yan understood what he meant, that is, when he had money, he became bad and no longer loved the Gu family.
She was silent for a while, and sighed with some self-blame: "I am still to blame for this, I didn't expect this."
She just wanted to help Goudanfu and make their lives easier, but she didn't expect that having plenty of money would actually turn out to be a bad person.
Some people are just unlucky.
"Do not blame you."
Qin An reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "As long as you don't want to, you won't."
Probably because he was afraid that she would worry, he said: "I don't know how to drink flower wine."
Rouge powder is not as good as the fragrance of a daughter-in-law, and those women are even worse than a daughter-in-law.
Su Yan stood up and wiped his head with a handkerchief, "I know."
"How much wine have you drunk today? Do you want some ginger water?"
"I didn't drink much."
Qin An held her on his lap with one hand and asked his son to sit alone with her. He smiled contentedly.
Holding her like a child, Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was a bit thin-skinned and whispered: "Let me get up. Sister Cui and the others will be in trouble when they see her."
"No, they are already asleep." Qin An put his arms around her waist, bent down and kissed her.
It was rare for the family to stay together, so Su Yan didn't hesitate, hugged his waist, looked up at the sky, "The moon is really round today, I'll make lotus cakes to eat tomorrow."
"You make stuffing for me."
"good."
…
The next day, Su Yan went into the kitchen early in the morning and saw the lotus stuffing that had been pounded, and a few lotus flowers inserted into a wooden bucket and kept in water.
The flowers are in full bloom.
She raised the corner of her mouth, saying that her words would still make her daughter-in-law happy.
She asked casually: "Sister Cui, where did my wife go?"
"The master went up the mountain with his bow and arrows and said he would be back before noon," Cuilan said.
Then he smiled and said: "Master can't be idle."
The host is not a lazy person, otherwise he would not be able to save money.
She knew more or less what happened to her master's family, but she didn't dare to think that it would be like this.
Su Yan reached for the cotton handkerchief and wiped her face with water, "Tuantuan is still sleeping?"
"Xiao Xiu took her out to watch the birds."
"Okay, I'll make some custard to feed him first."
"The master has fed her. When we got up, he was sitting in the yard feeding Tuantuan, egg custard and batter."
As soon as he heard Qin An feed him, Su Yan stopped caring about eating. With his father here, he ate better than anyone else.
Smoke curls from the rooftops, and the courtyard is filled with a sweet smell.
"What delicious food are you cooking? I can smell the aroma at the door." Goudan's mother came in with her daughter in her arms.
"Nothing to do, I just made some pancakes to eat, and I said I would send some to you."
"I have a good nose, so I came here on my own."
Su Yan knew that she wasn't here for food, and her eyes signaled Cuilan to go out first, and asked in a low voice: "Is Brother Jiang back?"
"When I just came back, I said he was tired from work, but he was still embarrassed." Goudan's mother curled her lips.
She hesitated again: "You really didn't do anything yesterday?"
"Whatever disease you have, don't bring trouble to me."
Su Yan nodded, "Just drink."
She warned seriously again: "You must not let Brother Jiang know about this matter. We are fine. We are just afraid that you will quarrel."
"I know, I won't tell you. I'm going to scare him to death this time." Goudan said angrily.
"No, you have to be nice to him. The better he is, the more guilty he will be." Su Yan said.
Goudanfu didn’t understand and said: “Then I still have to coax him?”
"Well, I also need to spend money on his medical treatment."
Su Yan opened the lid and took a look at the pancakes inside. It would be ready in a while.
Seeing that she didn't speak, he knew that she couldn't understand, "When you quarrel with him, he becomes irritated, thinking why you, your wife, don't care about him at this time."
"Be good to him and take him for medical treatment, and he will feel that he is nothing. His wife is so good, but he still doesn't know how to be content."
Goudanfu suddenly realized, "But how can I cure it if I'm not sick?"
"I've told the doctor in town about this. The money for medical treatment will be private to me at that time, and I will give it to you at that time."
"You are still smart. How can I coax him? There will definitely be a big quarrel."
At this point, Su Yan reminded her a few more words, "Quarrel less and do more."
If a problem has already occurred, arguing will not make it better, so it is better to work on your own.
Goudan's mother nodded, "My mother said the same thing. I don't want to argue now. If I do, the whole family will be unhappy. My Goudan is very sensible these days and helps me with my work."
"Seeing my child like this, why should I be dissatisfied? As long as my child is filial to me, that's all."
Su Yan glanced at her. She was in her twenties, with a sallow complexion and many dark spots on her face due to years of exposure to the sun.
Although almost all the women in the village are like this, Jiang Caifu is still not satisfied. It would be great to find a wife who can start a family.
She agreed: "Just be filial to you."
Goudan's mother waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this terrible thing. I heard from the Li family that the village chief wants you to sign back your account."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is nothing if a scholar comes out of a village, and the county will give more preferential treatment.
A family can receive a 10% or 20% reduction in food tax.
The people in the village naturally think so.
But Su Yan would not agree, and neither would Qin An.
She added: "Don't agree."
"Don't worry, even if they tell the truth, my family won't agree." Su Yan half-joked.
Goudanfang smiled and said, "Your family is still awesome."
Having said this, he couldn't help but praise: "This family is what it is because of your support."
Su Yan shook her head and said: "Don't say that, you should rely on my family's reputation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Caifu come in. He winked at Goudanfu and said immediately, "Brother Jiang, thank you for your hard work. You've been busy all night before coming back."
"It's time to buy some meat to make up for it."
Goudanfu was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and cooperated: "I just want you to cut off a few pounds with me."
Jiang Caifu at the door felt a little guilty, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to cut a few kilograms of meat and come back to make braised pork."
Goudanfu suppressed his anger at him and said, "You are tired from working, I will buy it."
"You're not tired, I'm going to buy it. Let me hold the baby while you are busy." Jiang Caifu hugged the baby and went out.
Watching the man walk away, Goudanfu was a little surprised. He looked at Su Yan and said, "It's much better than when I quarreled with him. After the quarrel before, he ignored me."
"A man just wants to coax." Su Yan said smoothly.
"No wonder your family is so mean-spirited to you, but it's also true that if you coax people, let alone men, even a woman like me is soft-hearted."
Goudanfang really admires Su Yan, she speaks softly but is useful.
Su Yan didn't do much to coax Qin An, he was usually the one who coaxed her. Besides, the two of them rarely quarreled, and they usually didn't last the whole night.
She smiled and said: "Occasionally I need to coax you."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard movement in the yard. He looked up and saw Qin An coming in carrying a bundle of firewood. He probably thought she was sleeping.
He put it down gently and walked towards the kitchen. The next moment, the two of them looked at each other.
She smiled and fetched water for him to wash his hands, "Did you catch anything?"
"Someone went into the mountain to fight today." Qin An said in a low voice.
He washed his hands and said again: "Is the stuffing enough? If it's not enough, I'll make more."
"enough."
Su Yan pointed to the lotus flowers in the bucket and said, "Put these in a vase."
"Okay." Qin An, the dishwasher, went to the kitchen to get a vase, and stood in front of the chopping board to cut the lotus stems diagonally.
It was a bit unconventional for a tall man to do something that a woman would do. She couldn't help but look at it again and again, feeling envious and helpless.
She said aloud: "Qin An, that's a problem for you."
"No trouble." Qin An said in a low voice.
He was not a man of many words, so he added one more sentence: "He has too much money."
As soon as a man has money in his hand, he will think about how to spend it.
I also blamed myself for this. I thought it would be inconvenient for him to go out without any money, so I gave him enough money.
Goudan’s mother said: “I won’t give you more in the future.”
Su Yan looked at Qin An and suddenly realized that he didn't have much money on him, so he put the extra money in the box.
Let him hold it and use it, and he rarely moves it unless he needs money to buy things for the family.
After the lotus pie was steamed, Su Yan brought five or six to Goudan's house. It was almost noon.
The family was sitting in the main room eating porridge and eating pancakes. Erdan took some of the pancakes and fed them to Tuantuan. Tuantuan didn't like eating them and made a sound when he spit them out.
Making the others laugh, Su Yan fed him porridge, "Have you seen your father? If you act weird again, he will deal with you."
Although Tuan Tuan liked his father the most, he was also afraid of him the most. His father glared at him and cried with his mouth open.
No matter how harsh she is to him, he still smiles with her.
He probably also knew that his father really knew how to beat people up.
Qin An said "Hmm" in response, and immediately Tuantuan pouted and asked for a kiss. Su Yan kissed her happily, "You're so good, just eat it. Mom will make meatballs for you tonight."
Qin An was a little jealous and said, "Daughter-in-law, what about me?"
He now likes to compete with Tuantuan for favor. Su Yan cooperated and said: "I will pinch you at night too."
Qin An chuckled, his eyebrows softened a lot, and he took a sip of porridge.
At this time, a man at the door shouted, "Qin An, the village chief wants you to go to his house for dinner."
Qin An didn't respond, and the man thought he hadn't heard, so he said again, "Qin An, I want you to go to the village chief for dinner."
As soon as I finished speaking, I met his somewhat unkind eyes, and I was immediately frightened.
He raised his hand to touch his head unnaturally, "The village chief shouted."
"Distribute the fish to your family."
Recently, the village has been fishing, but since they are not from the village, they don't have it.
Now I just want to coax Qin An.
Who would have asked them to share the fish before?
Su Yan didn't say anything and let Qin An make his own decision. He could go if he wanted to go or not if he didn't want to go.
Qin An didn't say a word and just kept feeding his son porridge.
The man at the door stood facing the sun for a while and then went back dejectedly.
I knew that the people in the village would not just let it go, and sure enough, in the afternoon, the new village chief came to the door with a basket of eggs.
At this time, Su Yan just put everyone to sleep and lay down to rest for a while.
I heard the village chief's voice intermittently, "I...from now on...your wife...the fallen leaves will return to their roots..."
While she was sleeping, Qin An walked in. Her eyelids raised and she patted her son's back gently, "What did you say?"
"Just those words."
Qin An came over and sat next to him, and said in detail: "They said they would give us a piece of land. We don't need to plant it. The villagers will plant it."
"They have a good idea. They want to reduce the food tax on one acre of land." Su Yan said a little speechlessly.
As long as these people show some kindness to them, they will help the village even if they don't come to visit.
These people are quite thick-skinned, and the way I treated them in the past was not good.
She added: "What did you say? He went out so angry."
"Nothing, I just said that all the women in the village should die one by one."
When Su Yan heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry. She raised her waist slightly and leaned on the bed, "Ms. sir, I found that you are quite good at speaking."
"Well, you can't bully my wife."
Qin An put his hand away the broken hair from her ears and said seriously again: "Don't be afraid of others bullying you."
"Don't listen to gossip."
The women in the village were very unpleasant to talk to, and he was afraid that his wife would feel uncomfortable listening to them.
He had deliberately talked to her more recently, and she knew in her heart that he wanted to reassure her. She came closer and said, "Mr. sir, you are becoming more and more verbose."
"It's not as hot as before these two days, and it will get better in less than half a month. Then you can go to the academy and ask Master if you want to go to Fucheng to study?"
"If you don't go, I won't worry about you being home." Qin An disagreed.
"We'll go with you and buy a yard by then."
Su Yan still wanted him to go to Fucheng to study. The master would be better off and he would be much more relaxed.
Something suddenly occurred to her, but she didn't say: "I will have to hide my incompetence in studying in the future. Apart from money, my family can't help me with anything else."
It's not that he makes others jealous, but that he doesn't make others jealous.
Qin An naturally understood this and said "hmm".
Suddenly, there was the sound of rain pattering outside. Su Yan glanced at the window and suddenly whispered urgently: "Go and collect the clothes in the yard."
Despite this, Qin An's clothes were also wet. Qin An hung them on the rope in the room, and the majority of them were bundles of clothes.
I put on several sets a day.
After a while clothes of different sizes were hanging in the room.
