Su Yan didn't think much, lowered her head and ate the fish. This fish was more delicious than the ones in the village, and it was especially tender.
While Goudan's mother was getting fish bones for Goudan, she said, "It's still fish fragrant from the river. Let's buy two to eat tomorrow."
Jiang Caifu has nothing to do recently, "If you want to eat this afternoon, I'll buy it."
Goudan’s mother gave him an angry look, but she was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth.
The food got cold very quickly, and it didn't take long for a group of people to eat. They finished it in a quarter of an hour or two.
Su Yan gave them some silver, "Fifty coins a day, eight days, twenty taels of silver, you can divide it between yourselves."
The fucking eldest brother took it and said happily: "Okay, thank you, sister."
They were getting ready to leave when the stone slab carrier came, pulled by three donkey carts.
They followed Qin An to help carry the stone slab into the yard. A stone slab was very heavy, weighing at least twenty or thirty kilograms.
After moving back and forth more than a dozen times, several men were sweating from the heat. Qin An panted slightly and went to the house to get some money and paid it to the boss who sold slates.
He said to the men: "You can drop by."
The owner of the donkey cart was going back anyway, so he was just a favor. After all, he made a lot of money. "Wang's family, let's go back together. We won't accept any money."
The men of the Wang family nodded, packed their things and left in the donkey cart.
Goudanfu was so happy that he could help her mother-in-law a little bit. She kept saying thank you to Su Yan, and finally insisted on bringing her food.
Su Yan accepted it, and by the time Goudan's family left, it was already past noon.
Qin An was not one to give a break, so he took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his strong arms.
After sweeping the floor, he picked up a stone slab and started laying it from the door of the main room.
The entire yard cannot be paved, so some onion seedlings and peach trees have been planted. The chicken pens are not paved, so it will be difficult to shovel chicken manure.
Su Yan helped clean up the floor and brought the pots and brooms to the door of the main room. One person cleaned up and the other spread them. It didn't take long.
Qin An was sweating all over, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Seeing this, Su Yan took the handkerchief and "squat down."
Qin An bent down, and Su Yan raised her hand to wipe it for him. Seeing that his neck was sweating, she subconsciously asked, "Is your back wet? If it is wet, wipe it."
Qin An nodded. Su Yan hesitated and was a little embarrassed, "Do you want me to wipe it for you?"
Qin An's cheeks turned red and he said unnaturally: "I'll wipe it myself." After saying that, he bent down and washed his hands in the bucket.
He took the handkerchief and wiped it with his backhand, slightly revealing a muscular and tight waist.
Su Yan glanced at it and then looked away, looking at the yard paved with stone slabs. It looked much better.
It's clean and looks much more comfortable.
When it rains, muddy water will flow from the fence of the courtyard wall, covering the whole yard.
"The courtyard wall will be rebuilt next year and we will buy blue bricks then."
Qin An raised his hand and wiped his neck, "The house will be replaced together. The wood is a little old."
He glanced at her and said in a low voice, "We'll get married if we change."
"Just tell me what you want and I'll prepare it in advance."
The rough man looked serious, as if he was taking things very seriously.
It seems that as long as she asks, he will try his best to satisfy her.
For a moment, Su Yan felt that she was lucky. Not only did Qin An not dislike her for being a widow, he also honestly wanted to marry her and treat her well.
Although she thinks there is nothing wrong with being a widow, marrying a widow here means getting stabbed in the spine.
"You gave me all your money, why don't I buy whatever I want myself?" After saying that, she gave him a smile and a scolding look.
"I don't lack anything. It's good now."
Qin An didn't seem to be satisfied. He pursed his lips and said, "No, it's necessary for marriage. If you don't tell me, I'll buy it as others get married."
"Buy two more clothes then." Su Yan put the things at the door of the hall into the yard.
At this time, there was some noise in the village, and it took me a while to hear the water leaking.
Su Yan stood at the door to look at whose house it was, and it turned out to be Goudan's house. She quickly shouted: "Brother Qin, there's a fire at Goudan's house."
After saying that, she turned around and went out carrying half a bucket of water from the yard.
Upon hearing this, Qin An strode to the kitchen and came out directly holding the water vat. The hundreds of kilograms of vat did not affect his pace at all.
Before Su Yan reached the door of Goudan's house, Qin An followed him with a vat. She was stunned for a moment when she saw it.
The tank is still full.
He is really strong.
Qin An took the vat and poured it on, and the fire subsided a little. The next moment, he climbed up the courtyard wall, pulled off the straw cover at the edge, and threw it outside the courtyard wall.
Then he took the bucket handed over by Jiang Caifu and poured it several times before extinguishing the one in the middle of the main room.
Not much inside the house was burned, but the roof was almost burned.
Goudan's mother was so angry that she beat Goudan several times. Goudan cried loudly, "I told you not to run, but you have to run! You have almost burned the roof now. I wonder where you will stay tonight."
.”
"I'm furious."
Su Yan quickly grabbed her, "Don't be angry, think of a way to get it done as soon as possible."
Qin An looked at Liang Zi in the main room and said, "It needs to be changed, otherwise it will easily crack when the weather gets hot."
"It's too late to change now. Hey, wife, we can build a tiled house too."
Jiang Caifu sighed and added: "The house was burned down twice a year."
Goudan's mother was reluctant to use money to build a house, so she finally saved some money, which she reserved for her eldest son to find a wife for.
"It's easy for you to say, one tile costs one penny."
"It has to be repaired. When the time comes for my son to marry a wife, no one else will look down on the mess in our house."
Jiang Caifu glanced at Goudan, looking miserable and unwilling to talk about him anymore.
This bitch is so angry!
Goudanfu wiped his tears and said, "I have to build this house temporarily, otherwise where will I live?"
Winter is no better than summer. Without a roof, people will die in winter.
Hearing this, Su Yan looked at the sky and it was already darkening. She thought for a moment, then approached Qin An and whispered: "Brother Qin, let them stay with us for a few days."
The Jiang family is pretty good to them, so I'll help them if I can.
Qin An nodded and said in a low voice: "Come live with us for the next few days. I will help with the construction tomorrow."
When Jiang Caifu thought of his children and wife, he responded with some embarrassment, "Sorry to trouble you."
Qin An shook his head and said, "No trouble."
He went back with the vat in one hand and the barrel in the other. Su Yan followed him back home, "Brother Qin, I'll move the things to your house."
Her room is bigger, and it can barely accommodate Goudan's family of three.
She wanted Qin An to live with Goudan and his son, but then she thought that Qin An might not like it.
After all, Goudan is somewhat noisy.
Qin An took a look and said, "Okay."
Su Yan was preparing to lay the floor in Qin An's house. Qin An came in and collected the straw mats. The ground was very cold in winter.
He said in a low voice: "The bed is enough, you can sleep in it."
