Su Yan took it. It must be hard to find this wild melon. She had searched all over the place. "Did you go looking for it specifically?"
"No, I just saw it." Qin An didn't say anything. He bent down and patted the scum on his clothes.
Su Yan put the wild melon in the bowl in the cave. When she came out, she saw a hole in his pants and subconsciously said, "Brother Qin, change your pants and I'll give you some stitches."
Then I thought it would be inconvenient for Zhao Jing to be here, "You just sit like this, the opening is not long." After saying that, he went to find a needle and thread.
Qin An stretched out his hand unnaturally, "I'll do it myself."
"It's not easy for you to sew."
Su Yan squatted down, then pulled his pants and sewed them neatly.
Looking at the serious profile of the woman, with the peach blossom hairpin he made on her head, Qin An lowered his eyebrows slightly, flashing a hint of tenderness.
Su Yan soon finished it, patted her trouser legs and said, "It's time to eat."
"Brother Qin, let's go pick up mushrooms with you later. There must be a lot of them."
When she raised her head and met Qin An's deep gaze, she was stunned for a moment. His eyes were extremely beautiful.
When their eyes met, Qin An froze for a moment, then moved away and went to the bowl in the cave.
…
Sure enough, there were so many mushrooms after the rain that most of the baskets were filled.
Su Yan was very happy and fried a large pot of mushrooms to eat that night. Zhao Jing was probably tired from walking and went to bed early that night.
The next day, a few people also picked up all day. The next day, they heard that they could go down the mountain, so they packed up and went down the mountain. In just a few days, there were a lot of things.
The three of them barely finished it.
There were steep slopes everywhere on the way down the mountain. Zhao Jing stumbled several times. Su Yan couldn't help her because she was slipping while walking.
She was about to go down the mountain when she stepped on a loose piece. Her foot slipped and she bumped into Qin An in front of her. Fortunately, Qin An managed to hold on.
Qin An turned his head and looked over, pursed his lips, and the next moment, his thick hands grabbed her wrist and helped her down the mountain without saying anything.
There was mud everywhere in the flooded house. When the door was opened, mud flew up.
Su Yan waved her hand and couldn't help coughing once or twice. When she entered the yard, she found that the peach tree had sprouted new green buds.
Putting down the things in her hands and looking at Zhao Jing who was hesitant to speak, she counted out ten copper coins and gave them to her, "If you go over there and take the boat, I won't send you off. Everywhere in the house has to be cleaned."
She can only help so much, any more would be beyond her capabilities.
After all, she herself hasn't had a good life yet.
Zhao Jing took it gratefully and said sincerely: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."
Su Yan said "Hmm", then stretched out her hand to touch the door, "You can't go out with your face like this, touch some mud to cover it up."
After saying that, he put some on her face, and then grabbed her hair.
After Zhao Jing left, Su Yan and Qin An began to clean the house. They cleaned Qin An's room first. The house was full of mud. It took seven or eight buckets of water to clean each room.
Qin An came in with a quilt bought from this town and put it on the bed, "You will sleep in this room from now on."
Hearing this, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and Qin An said unnaturally: "I want to go hunting in the mountains at night, and the door here is stronger."
"It's okay. Isn't the yard over there going to be repaired? I won't be able to live there for long."
Su Yan thought that Qin An's house only had one bed and he gave it to her to live in. She was quite embarrassed.
"I took a look at that yard just now. It needs to be exposed to the sun for more than half a month. Some parts have been washed away. It may take a long time."
Qin An bent down and picked up the broom on the ground, hiding the blush on his earlobes from lying.
Hearing this, Su Yan had no doubts. She sighed, thought for a while and said, "I have some money in my hand, so I'll ask someone to cover it."
Qin An paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "The area is flooded, so everyone is probably very busy."
He pursed his lips and said again: "I didn't drive you away."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Su Yan quickly explained: "I know you have a good heart, Brother Qin, but it's not good for me, a widow, to stay in your house all the time."
"It's quite troublesome for you."
"No trouble." Qin An tightened his jaw, then took the broom and went out.
Looking at his back, Su Yan felt a little weird, but she didn't worry about it.
I took the time to clean the house and finally the kitchen.
There was no water in the dried vegetables that Qin An sealed in a clay pot, but only half of them could be filled. The other half could not be filled and all were soaked.
Su Yan was quite happy and took it to the yard to dry it with a dustpan.
When Goudanfu came over with the things, he saw that they had cleaned them all, "You should be quick, my house hasn't been cleaned yet."
"I brought you some vegetables from the fields, but God has opened his eyes and left some way for us to survive."
"By the way, there are fish everywhere on the river. We found a few at home. You can go look for them. I heard that we need to buy fish fry again. It costs twenty coins per family."
"Sure, go right away."
Su Yan took the dishes and waited for her to leave with the basket in hand, "Brother Qin, I'm going to go out to see if there are any fish by the river, and by the way, I'll get some Houttuynia cordata back for salad dressing."
Qin An picked up the barrel and obviously wanted to go with him, so the two of them went out one after the other.
The river water has receded to its previous position, and there are many dead fish on the shore.
After watching for a long time, Su Yan saw a live fish, as big as a palm.
She bent down to catch it and threw it into the barrel. Qin An took off his shoes and went to the ditch, moved the rocks, and caught a lot of crabs.
When the two went back, many people came out to look for them. When they saw that the two had picked up a lot of fish, they all rolled their eyes.
Su Yan was too lazy to pay attention to them. She started frying fish when she got home. After frying the first fish, she brought it to Qin An in the yard.
"It's a bit hot, eat slowly." After saying that, he hurriedly entered the kitchen again.
Qin An looked at the fish in the bowl, then at the busy figure of the woman in the kitchen, and pursed his lips. He didn't seem to want her to move away...
But he has no money...
He sat on the threshold with a bowl and ate, the smell of fish made his face soften.
It seems like I have a home.
…
In the afternoon, Qin An went hunting in the mountains. Su Yan washed the mushrooms at home, cooked them and dried them.
After that, I took out the straw mat in the yard and patted it again and again. There was still a lot of mud, which probably made it uncomfortable to sleep on.
She took it to the river to wash it, and many people came with pots and pans to wash it.
Suddenly a woman mocked her and said, "Widow Li, your husband's grave has been washed away and the coffin is exposed. Why don't you call Qin An to bury it?"
Suddenly the other women laughed and took the adulterer to bury their husband's grave. That was a strange thing.
He was probably so angry that he almost crawled out.
Su Yan's expression did not change and she continued to wash the straw mat. Finally, she picked it up and shook it vigorously a few times. Suddenly, a group of people were shocked and let out an "ah" sound.
She said angrily: "Mind your own business and do more."
