Chapter 47: I want to buy land and marry a wife in the future
Su Yan thought that she would have to buy it sooner or later. Besides, Qin An didn't have much money. He hunted all year round and didn't need to buy land.
"That's enough. The land you bought won't be of much use since you're often away from home. I'll plant some and send it to you when the time comes."
Qin An is good to her, and she is willing to treat him as her big brother.
Qin An pursed his lips, glanced at her, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I want to buy land and get a wife in the future."
After he saved up enough, he proposed to marry her...
When I get home, I have hot soup and rice to eat, someone to talk to, someone to think about...
Hearing this, Su Yan's eyes lit up. He finally figured it out and said seriously: "If you want to marry a wife, you can buy land. Brother Qin, I'm worried that you won't get married."
"When two people live together, it's best if someone knows how cold it is and how hot it is."
"I don't need the money for the time being. I'll lend it to you. You go buy the land first."
The way people look at each other in the village is basically by looking at their houses and land. Having more land means that the family is wealthy and diligent.
Qin An shook his head, "It will be there in a few days."
Hearing this, Su Yan didn't say anything. Now that he has a stable salary for making hairpins, he should be able to buy land soon.
As soon as the two of them got home, Goudan's mother called them to come over for dinner, "Come to my house to eat, and bring the crabs too. My guy has nothing to do in the afternoon, so let him wash it, clean it, and cook it for you."
Su Yan was not polite to her, "Okay, let's wash our hands and come over."
"I went to my house to wash it, but I was too lazy to open the door."
Goudanfu pulled Su Yan away, then called Qin An and said, "Follow me."
Qin An said "Yeah" and followed behind with a bucket. People nearby saw that the Jiang family had been getting closer to the Qin family recently, and they all looked down on him.
He was too lazy to pay attention to them, and he didn't rely on them to make a living. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Caifu, hurry up and get a basin of water out."
Jiang Caifu got up and went to fetch water. Goudan saw the crabs in Qin An's bucket and happily stood by the bucket to watch.
"It's done, don't look at it. Aunt Li will bring it to eat tonight. Why don't you thank Aunt Li soon." Goudan's mother patted Goudan on the head, her movements relatively gentle.
Goudan smiled, revealing a missing tooth, "Thank you Aunt Li."
"Uncle Qin caught it all, thank him." Su Yan glanced at Qin An after washing her hands.
"Thank you, Uncle Qin." Goudan was a little timid.
Qin An shook his head slightly, indicating that you're welcome, then rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands.
Goudan's mother fried two meat dishes and two green vegetables, "I can only fill my stomach by cooking, so I'll just eat it."
"It's quite fragrant. Next time you can stir-fry the bacon with some wild garlic. If you stir-fry the pickles, it's fragrant, but it's salty."
Su Yan smiled, gave Qin An a pair of chopsticks, and then started eating by herself.
Goudan's mother gave Jiang Caifu an angry look and said, "I asked him to do it, but he said he was too lazy to do it. I would go get some in the afternoon. The pickles are too salty after being fried."
"You are still thinking about making food. We just want to fill our stomachs. Every time we make some food, we can't finish it."
Su Yan took a bite of the rice and said with a smile: "The food is more fragrant, and you feel more energetic when you are full."
After eating a little bit of Goudan, he didn't want to eat anymore. He said obediently: "Mom, I'll save my stomach to eat the crabs cooked by Aunt Li at night."
"Don't you want to eat meat? Eat more, you'll be hungry again later." Goudan's mother glared at him.
Goudan shook his head and whispered: "I want to eat Aunt Li's fried meat."
Damn it: "..."
This brat even dislikes her cooking.
"Come here, I'll cut your mouth with scissors, and you'll learn to be picky about food."
Jiang Caifu ate a piece of bacon, and the salt probably hadn't melted away. His expression was distorted, "Mother, how much salt did you put in..."
"I just put a little bit in, is it very salty?" Goudan's mother quickly poured him a bowl of rice soup.
Jiang Caifu drank a few gulps, stuffed a mouthful of green vegetables, and said with a smile: "Next time, I'll be the one cooking."
"You can fire me if you want to, I'm still relaxed." Goudan's mother gave him an angry look.
…
afternoon
Qin An came back carrying a lot of mud and stones and piled them in the yard. Su Yan sat in the main room and took a look and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Fortified courtyard wall."
The mud was almost ready. Qin An poured the mud on the ground, mixed it with some water, and then started to build the courtyard wall.
Seeing this, Su Yan went into the room and changed into civilian clothes, "Brother Qin, you are on the wall. I'll put it on and hand it to you."
"Need not."
Qin An was sitting on the wall of the courtyard. Just as he was about to come down, Su Yan was already shoveling the mud with her sleeves rolled up, "Hurry up, you two. I have nothing to do."
After she installed it, she carried it to him. Qin An bent down and lifted it up, "Just rest when you are tired."
"Okay." Su Yan went to find another diabolo basket, and when Qin An finished it, she carried it over.
The Qin family repaired the courtyard wall, and everyone who came and went looked at it curiously for a while. The Qin family has changed a lot now. The house is still the same shabby house as before, but it looks much better than before.
There was a lot of chatter all of a sudden.
"Is the Qin family getting rich?"
"The wild boars and deer were sold for a lot of money, and Widow Li got a big deal."
"That's not true, but because of Widow Li's wantonness, the Qin family will be ruined sooner or later."
"Definitely, there will be something good to watch then. Qin An is not like other men. If Widow Li messes around, she will definitely suffer."
"She deserves it, but Qin An is not a good person. If he picked something like this to take home, his parents would be furious if they were still there."
However, they didn't know that the Qin family would only get better and better.
The courtyard wall is about a head high, and it will be built tomorrow. Just wait until it dries now.
Su Yan washed her hands and took a few breaths, then saw Qin An taking the ladder to the roof again, obviously trying to turn the roof over.
It seems that he really plans to marry a wife.
"Brother Qin, slow down. By the way, why not build some of the roof and cover half of the yard. When it rains, you don't have to worry about the chickens."
"good."
Qin An nodded. He started to dig through the house where Su Yan lived. Some of the grass was rotten. He rolled it all up, tied it with ropes and threw it on the ground.
He got off the ladder, carried the withered grass into the kitchen, and then went out. After a while, several big men came carrying tiles.
There is a family in the village that burns tiles, and they basically sell them to people in the town.
Business has not been very good in the past few years, and there are still a lot of tiles left at home, so I don’t burn tiles much.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Qin An to build tiles. The tiles were quite expensive and cost at least a penny a piece.
The Qin family is not that small. Two rooms and a kitchen require at least a thousand tiles.
The leading man said particularly enthusiastically: "It just so happens that we have nothing to do, so we will help you build it together. We will use whatever we need at that time."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Qin An walked to the kitchen, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice to Su Yan: "Go and cover the bed in the house, we will tear off the bottom layer later."
"good."
Su Yan nodded quickly, put down the knife in her hand, hurried back into the house, rolled up the quilts, and stuffed them into the large wooden cabinet.
Everything else doesn't matter, just wipe it off later if it's dirty.
When she came out and met Qin An, she asked, "Brother Qin, do you want to build the kitchen now? If so, I will take it to Goudan's to fry it."
"If you don't want to build it, build the room first."
Qin An saw the grass residue on her head, hesitated for a moment, reached out and twisted it off for her, threw it on the ground, and then put his hands behind his back unnaturally.
He added: "Don't come over here, you're a scumbag."
