Chapter 42 Matchmaker Qian proposes marriage to Qin An
Su Yan scraped off some nail ash and said, "Go to town tomorrow to buy some medicine. You've left marks everywhere."
Knowing that he was a rough guy and didn't care about this, she explained in detail, "It's a small thing to leave a mark. I'm afraid of accidentally getting infected."
She put down the sickle, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and soon sat back to eat. After finishing the meal, Qin An wanted to clean up, but she stopped him.
"Don't get wet these days." After saying that, he neatly put away the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Seeing the woman's figure leaving the main room, Qin An lowered his head and glanced at the wound, feeling gradually warm in his heart.
In the past, no one cared about this kind of small hole for him, and he didn't care either.
After doing this, she took the money and went out to settle the accounts. She wanted to give Qin An one or two taels of silver, so she took one or two half and said, "Brother Qin, the extra 300 wen will be used as money to live here."
"If you don't accept it, I will move out as soon as possible."
Now that I have money in my hand, I am no longer afraid of moving out, but I have to give money wherever I live, so I might as well give it to Qin An.
You can live with peace of mind.
Hearing her saying that she was moving away, Qin An glanced at her, said "Yeah", patted the bamboo ash on his hand, took it and put it on the stool next to him.
Su Yan turned to look at the chickens and found that one chicken's head was stuck in the bamboo fence. She couldn't help laughing and muttered: "Why is this chicken so stupid? Can it be fed?"
Qin An looked over and saw the woman bending down to play with the chicks. She quickly turned back, lowered her head slightly, and raised the corners of her lips.
It was still dark, so Su Yan swept the house inside and out, shoveled out the debris and put it in a basket, then dumped it in the woods.
After doing this, she stood at the door of the courtyard to blow in the wind. It was much cooler now that the wind was blowing. She turned her head and looked inside the courtyard. The dustpan in the man's hand had begun to take shape.
He really knows everything.
But that's normal, since his parents are away, he has to do all these things by himself.
She came to her senses, put the shovel behind the door, locked the door and said: "Brother Qin, go to bed early, the water is warm in the pot."
…
The next morning, the kitchen
As soon as Su Yan entered the kitchen, she saw a new dustpan soaked in water. She took a look at it very carefully. Then she looked at the leftovers from last night in the cupboard and saw a bowl of eggs.
There are about ten or twenty of them.
She was stunned for a moment. At this moment, she heard the movement outside the door. She looked over and soon Qin An came in carrying water.
Their eyes met, Qin An looked away, poured water into the vat, "I bought it in the village."
"You can cook whatever you want."
He did not say that he went to other villages to buy it before dawn. Several villages above and below were flooded, and he walked a long way.
"Then let's boil some poached eggs and eat them. I'll buy them next time." After that, he took out six eggs.
She eats two and Qin An eats four.
It should be enough to eat.
After Qin An poured the water, he sat on the stove to light the fire. The two of them worked together and it was cooked quickly.
Qin An saw that Su Yan only had two in her bowl, so he walked over without saying a word and put one in her bowl.
Then he went out and sat in the yard and ate.
Su Yan was a little moved, but also a little dumbfounded. She took it out and said, "I ate too much yesterday, so I'm not very hungry."
"Brother Qin, this is for you."
"I'm not lying to you. I won't treat myself badly when it comes to food. If I don't eat enough, it will be wasted later."
Hearing what she said, Qin An looked at her for a while, then handed the bowl over. After she picked it up, he took it over and started eating.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the woman eating in small bites, and his eyebrows softened a lot.
Before the two of them finished eating, they heard a noise outside. Su Yan stood at the door with a bowl in hand and saw that it was the two families diagonally opposite who were quarreling.
"It's shameless for you to steal my mother's food."
"Who stole your food and left it at my door? I thought it was my own, so of course I took it and ate it."
"You'll come back after eating it!"
"Why do you still want to return it? I've eaten everything. If you want me to, I'll go to the toilet and poop..."
"Shameless thing!"
Su Yan "tsk" in her heart when she heard this. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Qin An walking beside her at some point.
He reached out and said, "Give me the bowl."
"Brother Qin, I told you not to get wet." Su Yan was slightly serious, then took the bowl in his hand and carried it to the kitchen.
It's probably because someone knew that Qin An had hunted wild boars, or because the Qin family was doing well now, the village's moneyed matchmaker came to arrange a marriage for him.
When she arrived, Qin An was making hairpins in the yard and Su Yan was feeding chickens.
Matchmaker Qian was dressed in a flashy dress. She stood at the door and said with a smile, "Is Qin An busy?"
Qin An raised his head and glanced at her, pursed his lips, and did not respond to her words.
Matchmaker Qian was a little embarrassed, but when she thought about the matchmaking money, she stood at the door and said to herself: "I'm here for a happy event. I want to marry you. The girl from the Sun family is the one with the big butt."
"The Sun family said they saw you were capable, so they asked me to come and propose marriage."
Su Yan subconsciously looked at Qin An and felt that it was a good thing to propose marriage. If the girl is good, they can get married.
At the same time, Qin An was also looking at her. He quickly moved away and said a little coldly: "No, I won't get married."
Matchmaker Qian rolled her eyes a few times in her heart. It would be great to have a girl he likes. Why should he choose another girl? "It's a good time for a boy to get married and a girl to get married. What's going to happen if you don't get married? It's much better to have someone who knows both coldness and warmth."
"
She glanced at Su Yan, and then said: "Sun Yatou is a serious young lady, and she is much better than those who are half-hearted."
Su Yan was not stupid, so she could naturally tell that he was talking about her, and she was speechless. She just said kiss, and had to step on her to feel comfortable.
Just as she was about to say something, Qin An stood up, took the wood ash on the shovel and poured it out with an expressionless face.
Matchmaker Qian probably didn't expect him to do this, so she immediately fell down and said angrily: "Bah, bah... Qin An, what do you mean!"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qin An, feeling a little warm in her heart. Then she heard a rough man's voice, a little fierce: "Don't come to my door."
"What are you dragging? You are still picking on girls like this. You are already in your twenties and you are already old. If someone takes a fancy to you, it will be great."
Matchmaker Qian was so angry that she took a few steps back and cursed again and again: "If you don't want a yellow flower girl, if you want to be a widow, you won't be afraid of getting dirty."
Qin An frowned. At this time, Su Yan walked to the door and said angrily: "So what if you are in your twenties? How many people can make money these days? If you don't like her, why did you come here to propose marriage?"
"It's not just about his ability to make money, but what about the yellow-flowered daughter? As long as he can make money, are you worried about not having a wife?"
"Brother Qin is kind enough to take me in. You are the only ones who can't spit out ivory. I am a widow and I know in my heart that I am not worthy of him. You, on the other hand, can't handle it and still act like a charity."
"These days, you rely on money to make a living, instead of being a young lady who is old in her twenties? Ah? I think you are at least thirty-four years old. Why didn't you think of lying in your grave?"
"No one is digging your grave, so I can still help you."
Matchmaker Qian's eyes widened with anger. They said Widow Li was very sharp-tongued, but she didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued. "You shameless bastard, you still have the nerve to speak out..."
"Why am I shameless? You can come out, why can't I come out, just because you are uglier than me? You are thicker-skinned than me."
Su Yan leaned against the door and warned: "If you want to get married, say it properly. Next time you talk nonsense like this, I will tear your mouth apart."
