Su Yan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. The man's expression was tense, as if he wanted to fight with others. She lowered her head and continued to draw the pattern.
The host was stunned for a moment, then smiled when he realized it. Last time, he realized that these two people were the only ones in this family. At that time, he felt that they didn't look like real brothers and sisters. "Congratulations to you."
Qin An's face softened a little and he said unnaturally: "Thank you."
After drawing three pictures, her employer paid her thirty-five taels of silver. Then she counted the money for Qin An's hairpin and settled for more than ten taels.
There is nothing much to do these days, so he just does it every day.
Fifty-six were made.
Su Yan stayed with her boss to have dinner before leaving. The boss was too busy, so he left after saying a few words.
Qin An pushed the money to Su Yan, as if he wanted to use it for her, "You keep it."
Su Yan collected ten taels of silver and explained, "You can keep the rest for shopping."
Seeing that she had accepted it, Qin An's mouth became a little softer. He took the remaining one or two silver coins and said somewhat honestly: "I'll go to the entrance of the village to see if there are any dogs."
He went there every day these days, but nothing happened.
"Okay, I'm cooking."
Su Yan packed up the money and locked it in the room. The two of them had a lot of money together.
She was very happy, and she liked watching the money at home increase little by little, which made her feel at ease.
As soon as she put the rice in the pot and started cooking, Qin An came back with two puppies, one white and one yellow. He looked at her and said, "Which one do you like?"
What's so exciting about these dogs? Su Yan couldn't help but smile and looked at the two pitiful little fat dogs in his arms, "How about feeding them both and having a companion."
Qin An had no objection and directly agreed, "Okay." After saying that, he placed them beside the kitchen door.
He added: "I'm going to build a doghouse."
While Su Yan was cooking, he built a doghouse in the corner of the yard. The doghouse was made bigger so that he could sleep in it when he grew up.
Then I found some dry grass and spread it in a thick layer.
Finally, I found some rags and made a curtain to cover the door, so that I would be warm while sleeping at night.
Qin An came out with a dog in one hand and put it in the kennel. The chickens were chirping, making the two dogs tremble in fear.
Qin An reached out and patted them, stood up and looked at the increasingly full yard, feeling as if something was filling his heart.
In the evening, Goudan's mother said that if she was free the day after tomorrow, she would come over early in the morning.
Su Yan agreed, and after Goudan Niang left, she closed the courtyard door. The two dogs in the courtyard got a little bolder and sniffed around in the courtyard.
Finally, I tried to enter the main room, but my leg was broken and I couldn’t even jump in after dancing for a long time.
Su Yan brought them in and sat opposite Qin An, "Brother Qin, let's go to town tomorrow and buy all the things we need for the New Year. I think it's getting colder and colder. It's probably going to rain."
It’s snowing.”
Qin An was lowering his head to make hairpins. When he heard this, he glanced at her, said "hmm" and told her: "Go inside and sleep."
"I'm not sleepy yet. I've sorted this out." Su Yan dug out some Houttuynia cordata. The Houttuynia cordata was quite tender and was quite delicious in cold sauce.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin An reached out and took the Houttuynia cordata over, and said somewhat forcefully: "I'll take care of it later, go to bed."
"Hold the quilt."
"It's okay, I won't be sleepy now."
Su Yan reached out to take it, and the next moment she met Qin An's eyes. He was already fierce by nature, but he became even more fierce when he had a straight face.
He said in a low voice: "It will be cold."
Su Yan was not afraid of him. He was fierce on the outside but hot on the inside. She was helpless but warm-hearted, "Okay, I'll be clear about it, you go to bed early."
"Um."
Qin An watched her go out before continuing to make hairpins. He wanted to take advantage of the New Year to make more hairpins and buy her more thick and good coats.
At this time, footsteps came from behind. He turned his head and looked over. The young woman came in with a piece of clothing and put it on the table. "Put it on before you do it. Don't do it after you finish the one in your hand."
After Su Yan finished speaking, she went out and slightly closed the door half way.
After looking at the clothes on the table, Qin An patted the dust on his hands, then took the clothes and put them on. He lowered his head and smiled.
After finishing the hairpin, he washed his hands and sat down in the main room to tend Houttuynia cordata. Although it was late at night, he did not feel deserted at all.
On the contrary, there is some joy.
The wife he wanted to marry was sleeping in the next room.
The days are getting more and more promising.
…
The two of them got up early and went out when the sky was gray.
The river was in the wind. Standing on the bamboo raft, Su Yan shivered. Qin An naturally saw it. He took off his outer jacket, put it on her hand, and said, "Cover it."
After saying that, he held on to the bamboo pole and walked forward.
Just as Su Yan wanted to stand up and return him, the bamboo raft shook a little. She didn't dare to move and sat on the small stool again. "Brother Qin, you can wear it yourself."
Qin An said in a low voice: "Hold your hands, it will be windy."
Many women saw it and were almost jealous to death. Everyone knew that Qin An was now a hot commodity.
But I was fascinated by the vixen Widow Li.
"This person is lucky if he has no shame."
"That's not true. Widow Li is shameless. No wonder she is willing to follow Qin An. It turns out that she wants Qin An to make money."
"That's not true. He must have known it before he pretended to sell the land to help the Qin family repay the money."
"But Qin An didn't mean it. Widow Li was dumped by him after a while."
"If a man has money, what kind of woman can he want?"
"Let's just wait and see. Widow Li's life will be miserable in the future."
Su Yan vaguely heard them talking about them, but she couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, but it was definitely not a good thing.
When he arrived at the shore, Qin An got off the bamboo raft first, and then stretched out his hand towards Su Yan. He originally wanted to grab the woman's wrist, but Su Yan put her hand directly on his palm.
Qin An froze. The next moment he helped her down, quickly retracted his hand, and bent down to tie the bamboo raft to the edge.
"Let's go."
Su Yan gave him the clothes and said, "Put them on quickly."
Qin An took it over and put it on. His wheat-colored face turned a little dark red. He buttoned it up and said, "Want to take the donkey cart?"
Su Yan walked forward, shook her head and said: "Let's walk, the donkey cart rides too hard. Let's buy a carriage next spring."
Winter is coming soon, and I bought a horse-drawn carriage and will only use it a few times.
"Okay." Qin An followed her.
When we passed the fork in the road, we met Zhou Xi and his mother Zhou Jin, both carrying baskets on their backs.
Su Yan was wearing a brand new coat, beautiful embroidered shoes, and silk flowers on her hair. She looked more and more delicate, and the mother and son of the Zhou family still didn't recognize her.
Zhou Xi's eyes suddenly lit up and he subconsciously said: "Yan'er."
Qin An frowned and frowned, staring at him with a somewhat unkind look. Su Yan looked at Zhou Xi and said distantly: "You and I are not related to each other, so it's better not to call us so close."
Zhou Xi's face stiffened, and Zhou Jin made a "poof" sound, and said with disdain: "Who wants to be related to a widow like you? My Xi'er calls you because I think highly of you. Fortunately, I didn't agree with you to marry her and have a threesome."
Four, shameless things."
After speaking, she glanced at the tall and muscular man next to her.
Before Su Yan could speak, Qin An put his hand on her shoulder, as if to comfort her.
He said lowly and firmly: "She is no longer a widow."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at him, and then Qin An said with a sullen face: "My moral character is not very good. If you say one more thing, I will beat him up."
