After returning home and drying the straw mat, I took a shovel and went to the Li family cemetery according to my original memory. Sure enough, there was a large section of the coffin exposed.
Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly, otherwise it would have been a bit scary.
She clasped her hands together, then took a shovel and shoveled mud to cover it. It didn't work even if it was covered with mud. If it rained, it would probably rush out again.
She found stones and built them on top, so she could make do with it for the time being. She would get some for them later when she had money.
No matter what, we still live in their house.
When she looked up, it was almost dark. She quickly grabbed the shovel and was about to go back. As soon as she turned the corner, she bumped into something and said, "Ouch."
She looked up and saw Qin An, her face still a little anxious, and subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"
Qin An felt relieved when he saw her and pursed his lips, "Where have you been?"
"The grave has been washed away. I'll come over and bury it." Su Yan rubbed her brows.
Qin An glanced at the tomb and said nothing. As soon as he returned to the yard, Su Yan saw the wild boar in the yard.
She asked in surprise: "How did you catch it?"
"I guess there's nothing to eat, so I'll plant a vegetable patch at the foot of the mountain."
Qin An closed the yard and said, "I'll cut some and fry them later."
"Okay, I've been busy for so long, stocking up on delicious food."
Su Yan put down the shovel, touched the straw mat, and said: "Okay, brother Qin, I will buy you a bed next time you go to town. Don't take it, otherwise I won't live in your house."
Qin An said in a low voice: "Sell the wild boar and I will make it myself. It doesn't cost me any money. You can just buy me a door lock."
"become."
Su Yan took the straw mat and went to his room. After spreading it on the floor, she went to get a thin quilt and spread it on top. She could only live in it temporarily and would go to town tomorrow to add more.
After killing the wild boar, Qin An cut off the thinnest bit of meat and asked Su Yan to cook it, "Bring this piece to the Jiang family."
Su Yan took a look, nodded, then wiped her hands and said, "Turn over the pot." After that, she took the meat and went out.
Goudan's mother wasn't at home right now, so she gave it to Jiang Caifu, "Brother Qin gave it to you." After saying that, she left.
The women from other families saw it, curled their lips, and whispered: "Widow Li doesn't follow the rules of women, and now she goes to seduce that guy from the Jiang family."
Su Yan didn't know this, so she hurried back to cook and eat.
…
Thinking of going to town, Su Yan got up early and went to the kitchen to cook rice. After cooking, she glanced outside and saw that it was almost dawn.
Why hasn't Qin An gotten up yet?
After she scooped out the rice, she went to knock on Qin An's door, "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, it's time to eat."
After a while, no one answered. She opened the door. No one was in the room. She turned around and went to the kitchen. The pork was still here.
She was just about to go out to look for them by the river when she saw Goudan's mother coming over. Goudan's mother brought two eggs to her, "This is the one my mother-in-law brought from her. It has been cooked and is still hot."
She thought of something and said again: "Did you ask Qin An to build the Li family's grave?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, "Did he go to repair the grave?"
Seeing her like this, Goudanfu was shocked: "You don't know?"
"I don't know, he didn't say anything. Maybe I told him yesterday that I went to repair a grave."
"Qin An is a really good person. I say you should serve some snacks. If it weren't for Qin An this time, you would probably have nowhere to go as a woman going up the mountain."
Goudan's mother gave her an angry look, and whispered: "Hurry up and cook the rice, it's better to have a child trapped than anything else."
"I've gone back, there are still people at home."
Su Yan: "..."
She went in with the eggs, and then went to the tomb with the rice. Sure enough, she saw the man's stone pile on the tomb from a distance, which was much better than the mess she made yesterday.
This rough guy doesn't talk much and is very thoughtful.
"Brother Qin, it's time to eat."
Hearing the sound, Qin An turned his head and looked over. The woman was wearing plain clothes and her hair was tied up with a hairpin.
"You eat first, it will be over soon."
He bent down and picked up the stone and placed it in front of him. Su Yan felt a little moved when she saw that he was covered in dirt and dust.
"Brother Qin, thank you."
"No, it's not a problem."
After Qin An finished, he clapped his hands and motioned for Su Yan to go first, and Su Yan left with the food.
The two of them went back one after another. The people in the village glanced at them, but they ignored them.
While Qin An was washing his hands, Su Yan peeled two eggs, put them in his bowl, and then started eating with the rice.
After a while, Qin An entered the kitchen. She smiled and said: "The eggs from Goudan's family are very delicious. Brother Qin, please eat them while they are hot."
Qin An looked at the eggs in the bowl, glanced at the bucket, pursed his lips, then walked over and bent down to pick up an egg from her, "Go to town and buy a few kilograms and bring it back." After saying that, he took the bowl and went to the yard.
Su Yan looked at the eggs in the bowl and couldn't laugh or cry. She said nothing and lowered her head to eat.
After the two of them finished eating, they went to the town to go to the market. They took a donkey cart directly there. Su Yan was almost vomiting, so she got down and calmed down for a while.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant took them all in, saying that there had been so many people coming to eat recently, and a wild boar was sold for more than two taels of silver.
The shopkeeper looked at Su Yan and said with a smile: "You should study some recipes when you have time. Your two dishes are selling well."
"Okay, I'll research it when I have time and let you try it." Su Yan agreed with a smile.
The shopkeeper looked at her and hesitated to speak, and then said: "Sister, I think you are really capable. Last time I mentioned it to your elder brother, and your elder brother said that you said we had a kiss."
"My sister said she doesn't mind if you say we're married. If you're willing, please find a time to meet. There must be a lot of these in the job. We will pay three times as much as the family pays. My sister's family is not short of money, but she just wants to find someone.
A capable wife."
Qin An's expression suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked at the woman next to him, tightening his hands slightly.
Hearing this, Su Yan glanced at Qin An out of the corner of her eye, and then said apologetically: "Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry. I didn't tell you clearly before that I am a widow."
Suddenly the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, "This..."
Generally, families will not allow a widow to be married, and if you want to marry, you must marry an innocent and innocent girl.
Su Yan didn't blame him for his reaction, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's nephew must be very good, and he will naturally find a capable woman."
"I'm really sorry."
The shopkeeper reacted and said: "I didn't understand it clearly."
Su Yan nodded, "We have to go to the market, so we'll leave first."
After leaving the food shop, she started talking about the things she wanted to buy today, "Pillows, quilt covers, Brother Qin's shoes, locks, and some more flour."
"There is also cloth. The cloth I bought last time was soaked and deformed, so I can only keep it as a door curtain. I also need to buy some bowls and chopsticks."
Listening to the woman talking, it seemed that she had not considered the matter of getting married just now. Qin An's hand gradually loosened his grip, and he said in a low voice, "Yes", "I'll buy it all."
