Chapter 349: Dad, I will go to the capital to take care of you
It took three days to smoke the fish. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so it was dried quickly and filled into several large tanks.
It was hot and dark after a busy day, and the others went inside to rest after eating.
Tuantuan fell asleep in Cuilan's house, and the house was deliberately quiet.
Su Yan was busy packing Qin An's things for going to the capital tomorrow. While packing, she said: "Bring three sets of thick clothes. I guess it will be cold by the time you finish your work."
"Just bring the thin ones with you, and wash them when you change them."
Thinking of this, she worried and said: "Take Xiaoxiu with you, so that someone can work at home."
"Daughter-in-law, do you have me in your heart?" Qin An said dullly.
Zhang Xiu is still a young girl, so it's not a good idea to get together with him.
Most of the other women are just afraid that their husband-in-law won't be with a girl, but it would be better for the daughter-in-law to just give him one.
While Su Yan was folding, she scolded him for being jealous: "I'm worried about you even if I don't have you? I don't know what your temper is? You don't know how to do it."
"Sister Cui is more experienced in leading groups. There is no way to ask her to come with you. Xiaoxiu is young and smart, so it is just right for her to go to the capital with you."
There are only a few people in the family who are trustworthy, neither Dongzi nor Cuilan, only Zhang Xiu.
"No." Qin An flatly refused.
He continued in a low voice: "I wash my own clothes and cook my own meals."
Seeing his refusal, Su Yan stopped what she was doing and thought about it carefully, "Why don't you go to Ren Yazi's place and buy a servant? He can help you buy groceries and stuff, and you can study in peace."
This made her feel more at ease, so Qin An did not refuse, "I'll go and see it tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small voice came from outside the door, "Mom and Dad."
The two of them looked over, and Erdan was standing at the door looking at them. He was much taller than when he first saw him, and his cheeks were fleshy.
Su Yan subconsciously waved for him to come in.
Only then did Sun Erdan come in obediently and wanted to help share the work, "Mom, let me go take care of daddy. I know how to wash dishes and do laundry."
Hearing what he said, Su Yan and Qin An felt soft in their hearts, and the child knew it.
She signaled Qin An to tell him, and Qin An stretched out his hand to lift him onto his lap and said in a low voice: "You can study with peace of mind, and I will rely on you and your brother to support the family in the future."
"Help dad take care of mom at home and let her eat on time."
Su Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I will watch my mother eat."
Sun Erdan said seriously: "With aunt and others, and dad and you alone, I can really wash clothes and buy vegetables. I have helped my mother buy onions several times."
"Young man, I'm not happy with my father."
"You are my son, not a servant. You can study in peace."
Qin An touched his head with his rough hands and said comfortingly: "Learn more and help your mother settle accounts in the future."
Erdan nodded obediently, then took out a bulging money bag from his arms, handed it to him and said, "This is the money Mom gave me. I don't need it. Daddy, you take it and use it."
"I heard others say that things in Beijing are very expensive. Dad, you need to eat more."
Qin An stretched out his hand to take it, "Okay."
Seeing that he accepted it, Erdan was visibly happy. Soon he looked at Su Yan and said with some anxiety: "Mom, can I not go to private school tomorrow? I want to see daddy off."
"Yes, I will ask Aunt Xiaoxiu to go to the private school tomorrow to tell her." Su Yan agreed.
Erdan was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and stood up, "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to the house to go to bed. I'll get up early to see Daddy off."
After he left, Su Yan said with a smile: "It's rare for this kid to say this, but he's still a little cautious."
He became wise too early. No matter what happened, he always remembered that he could not be too disobedient.
"Put a dozen pieces of smoked fish in it. If you want it to taste like home, steam half a piece at a time. You don't need to put anything in it, just eat it directly."
"I also put a small jar of pickles, enough for you to eat for several months."
"The clothes and shoes are all here. By the way, there are fifty taels of silver in the bag and some broken silver. I put three thousand taels in silver notes. If you lose it, go to the bank to change it."
"If you don't have enough money, just tell your family. Don't be embarrassed. Everything in the capital is expensive, so it won't last long. Don't skimp on it."
"There is no shortage of money at home."
Now even if she is not good at anything, the bosses in the county will give her hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver a month.
Not to mention she has a business of her own.
"good."
Qin An stood up, picked up the baggage on the bed, and put it on the table. Then he closed the door. He bent down and picked up Su Yan, put her on the bed, lowered his head and kissed her again and again.
He said hoarsely: "Daughter-in-law, I have worked hard for you tonight,"
Su Yan blushed, but she didn't refuse him. She left this time and didn't know how long it would take to see him again.
It's a blessing to see you.
She put her arms around his neck and kissed him...
…
Early in the morning, Su Yan and Qin An went to Ren Yazi to buy a young man who could cook and wash clothes. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dark face, thin face, and big eyes.
I heard that he was sold because his family couldn't afford food.
Su Yan didn't ask him what his name was, and just called him Xiaoliu, which was auspicious.
It was the first time that Xiaoliu worked as a servant in someone else's house. He was a little nervous and scared, but Su Yan didn't wait for him to get used to it. "Xiaoliu, from now on you will do some laundry and cooking, nothing else."
"Remember to carry a piece of these food with you on the way. If you need anything, tell the master. I don't have time to buy you clothes. I will give you two sets of clothes from your brother Dongzi. They are probably a bit too big, so you can wear them for a while."
"After a few days, the clothes will be ready and I will ask someone to bring them to you."
After telling him, she looked at her man and couldn't say what she wanted to say. She just raised her hand and patted his clothes to make them look as smooth as possible.
Even though I had prepared myself mentally a few days ago, I still couldn't accept that he was going on a long trip.
She warned: "Be careful on the road."
Qin An tried his best to suppress himself not to say anything more. He knew that if he spoke more, his wife could not help but want to cry.
"We're leaving."
"Daughter-in-law, remember to eat on time."
"Okay, don't worry."
Su Yan watched them get on the carriage and the carriage gradually disappeared into the alley. She turned her head and her eyes were red and her throat was sore.
But turning to look at the two children, she raised a smile and said, "Mom, go get some food for you."
After saying that, she quickly walked into the kitchen and quickly closed the kitchen door. She lowered her head and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and quickly looked up at the kitchen roof.
After a while, she washed her hands and grabbed flour to bake pancakes. She moved quickly and showed no emotion.
This way, on the carriage
Xiaoliu's eyes fell on the face of the master opposite. His cold and handsome face was a little stiff, and his eyes were slightly red.
He hesitated and said, "Master, are you okay?"
Qin An shook his head, indicating that it was okay, but he squeezed the baggage on his leg with his hands, and the veins on the back of his hands appeared.
My daughter-in-law doesn’t know where to hide her tears at home...
When he thought of this, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Several times he wanted to stop the car, but he held it back because he had to go to the capital.
This time he must pass the exam.
Only when you pass the exam can you live a good life with your wife.
