Chapter 48: She enjoys happiness without children or grandchildren
Su Yan didn't pay much attention, nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.
After a while, Goudan's mother came over with washed crabs, looked at the tiles in the yard, then ran to the kitchen in a few steps, and exclaimed: "You want to build a tiled house?"
"How much money did it cost?"
Su Yan hasn't asked Qin An yet, "I don't know."
"Why is it suddenly covered with tiles?" Goudanfu said with some envy.
Su Yan took the crab, poured it into the wooden basin, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin is planning to get a wife, so he may want to repair the house first."
After saying that, she scooped out some water and started washing.
Upon hearing this, Goudanfu glanced at her curiously, "You two really have no chance?"
"It's definitely not possible. Sister, don't talk about it. I'm a widow. Brother Qin is capable and profitable. Can't you marry a daughter from a good family?"
Su Yan glared at her and said: "I really don't want to marry, men are of no use to me."
She can raise her younger brothers and sisters by herself, so she will have no problem supporting herself now.
Goudan’s mother choked, “…”
She whispered: "It's useless, it can also warm the bed. It's so lively to have a child, but you are alone in the desert."
"I am blessed without children or grandchildren." Su Yan joked.
Goudanfu laughed angrily, "What are you thinking in your head? How can you be blessed without children and grandchildren?"
She thought of something and added: "If you really want to marry me as a wife, my maternal cousin is not bad. She is capable, but she is average in appearance."
"You can tell Qin An. If he agrees, I will go back to my parents' house and tell him."
Since Qin An said he wanted to marry a wife, Su Yan nodded and agreed, "I'll ask him when I have time."
"Sure, how do you get this crab?"
"Stew the gnocchi, just watch it from the side. It's very simple."
After a while, a smell came from the kitchen, and the man who built the tiles couldn't help but look into the kitchen.
Someone muttered, a little greedy: "What does it taste like? It's too fragrant."
Qin An glanced at the kitchen from the ladder. The woman waved the spatula, and his eyebrows softened.
Then he handed the tile up and urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, it will get dark later."
When he said this, no one else dared to look at it. Three or four people were building tiles. By sunset, everything except the kitchen was built.
I'll build the kitchen tomorrow.
Qin An first paid them the money for the tiles, which was about one or two taels.
Then he took a broom and went to clean the main room. After cleaning, he fetched water and wiped it several times.
The food was already prepared, so Su Yan helped wipe it up and left it in the room for later.
"Sister, it's ready. Go call Goudan and the others."
"become."
Goudanfu ran out and took a look at the Qin family's tiled roof. It looked much more impressive than before.
After a while, Jiang Caifu and the others came over. Goudan couldn't help but swallowed when he smelled the fragrance, "Aunt Li, it smells so good."
"Eat, there is plenty."
Su Yan handed him the chopsticks, then went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of rice soup, placing it next to Qin An, "Don't drink the cold water, drink some rice soup first."
Qin An said "hmm" and saw from the corner of his eye that her forehead was hot and sweaty. He stood up and quickly came over with a cloth handkerchief and gave it to Su Yan without saying a word.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and took it, wiping her forehead and neck, "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Goudan's mother glanced at the two of them. They were living like a young couple, but they didn't even have any fun?
She quickly forgot about it and said to Goudan: "Eat slowly, you can see it's all over your face. Do you want to save it for dinner?"
After finishing the large bowl of noodles and crab pot, Goudan was still unwilling to leave when he left, so his father carried him back.
The dishes and chopsticks had already been washed. After Su Yan warmed the water, she picked up the rotten vegetable leaves and chopped them into fine pieces, mixed them with the bran and fed them to the chickens.
Then she and Qin An cleaned the house separately. After cleaning, they were both tired.
When she was about to return to her room, Su Yan remembered what Goudan was talking about, and turned to look at the rough man washing his socks in the yard.
"Brother Qin, the eldest sister said that she has a cousin from her mother's side who is very capable. Would you like to meet her?"
She paused for a moment and then said: "Sister, she is quite reliable. She should not fool people."
Hearing this, Qin An paused his hand a little, and said in a slightly low voice: "No need."
He continued to scrub his feet and socks, and then said, "I know what I'm doing."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that he had a woman he wanted to marry. Seeing that he didn't say anything more, she stopped asking.
"Sure, then I'll get back to her tomorrow."
…
Several times in a row, Qin An repaired the house. The roof was covered with tiles, the yard was built with thatched sheds, and the courtyard walls were raised a lot, with sharp bamboo sticks stuck on them.
The branches of the peach tree in the yard just stick to the wall, and from a distance, it looks like a touch of green.
Anyone passing by would glance at Qin's house. Occasionally, he could see chickens, dried vegetables and clothes in the yard.
This day seems to be going well at first glance.
After the harvest in the fields was over, people in the village became idle and gossiped all day long.
Su Yan went to wash clothes that day and squatted a little slower. Not long after, she heard someone say that she was pregnant with Qin An's child.
Later I heard that it was someone else's child.
She was a little speechless, but she didn't have time to talk to them.
This morning, Su Yan went to fetch mountain spring water with Goudan's mother. Goudan's mother said as they walked: "I'm done with the work in the fields. Hey, my family will go to town to find work. I don't know if this year
Is it easy to find it?”
Su Yan thought of something and immediately asked: "Brother Jiang, can you build a house? If you can, help me build it. I will pay you whatever the day's wages outside are."
Qin An has been too busy recently and has no time to take a breath, and she doesn't want to trouble him too much.
Upon hearing this, Goudan's eyes lit up, "That's no problem, but isn't your yard being built by Qin An? I think it's almost done, and it shouldn't take more than a few days."
"Before I was wondering why it wasn't covered yet."
"He's been too busy recently, and it's not nice to bother him all the time." Su Yan explained.
"That's true."
Goudanfu nodded and said, "I'll go home and ask about my mouth."
"Thank you, sis."
"Thank you, I haven't thanked you yet for finding a job for our family."
When the two of them were halfway carrying water, they saw Qin An, dressed in commoner clothes, walking over. He stood in front of Su Yan and said, "I'll pick it up."
Su Yan took a breath and gave it to him, "Didn't you go up the mountain? Why are you back so soon?"
"There were two hares in the hunting hole. They were still alive, so I brought them back first."
Qin An picked it up on his shoulders and picked it up easily, and then said: "I know how to pick up water. Don't pick it up anymore. The mountain road is not easy to walk." There was a trace of concern behind the words.
Goudan's mother glanced at the two of them, and then glanced at Qin An. A few days ago, Su Yan said that Qin An had a crush on her.
Her first reaction was Su Yan.
However, Su Yan didn't believe it and said she was talking nonsense.
She smiled and said: "I'll leave first, you guys will come later."
When Goudan wanted to leave, Su Yan asked Jiang Caifu to help me repair the house, "Brother Qin, you don't have to help me repair the house. The Jiang family has been fine recently, so I will ask him to help me repair the house."
