Su Yan said nothing, turned around and went to the kitchen to boil hot water, brought a bowl over and said, "Let it cool down."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to wipe the soles of his unfinished shoes carefully.
The foundation has been sharpened a lot.
"Brother Qin, please don't wear these shoes for now. I'll keep it in mind."
Qin An feels sorry for her, and she will definitely feel sorry for him.
If we don't feel sorry for each other, it won't be long.
Qin An dug into the rice and said, "Okay."
He didn't like to talk during meals before, but now he always likes to chat with her, "The vegetable seedlings have grown, I'm going to build a shed tomorrow."
"I took a look and found that the cabbage seedlings will be ready to eat in two days. They will definitely be tender when used for cooking noodles."
Su Yan polished her shoes and stood in front of the hall door. She thought of something and said: "Brother Qin, the ground at the entrance of the village has collapsed, and we need someone to repair it. I gave thirty coins, so you don't have to go."
"Okay." Qin An looked at her and said, "Did they bully you?"
Su Yan shook her head and said with a smile: "They are afraid of you."
As soon as she came here, she embraced the village's "big brother."
"Tell me if you have been wronged." Qin An looked serious and did not mean to be perfunctory at all.
Su Yan washed her hands, took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, "Okay."
"I'll give you some food." After saying that, he reached for his bowl, turned around and went to the kitchen, and quickly came over with a bowl of rice.
"I'm going to fry some bacon for dinner tonight, and I just got some garlic sprouts."
Qin An said "hmm" and started eating. Su Yan sat next to her and petted the dog while she waited for him to eat.
After dinner, Qin An went to see the roof of Goudan's house. One-third of it was built, and it was expected to be completed tomorrow.
He pursed his lips, inexplicably not wanting them to fix it so quickly.
If the Goudan family knew what he was thinking, they would probably knock him out with a hammer.
Who wouldn't want someone else's house to be well built?
…
at night.
After the Goudan family entered the house, Qin An washed the wild ginger, boiled it in hot water for a while, poured it into a wooden basin, bent over and picked it up, "Go to the house to soak it. Once it's done, go to bed."
Su Yan turned off the fire in the stove with two pieces of firewood, stood up, patted herself, and followed him into the house.
Qin An put down the tub and turned around and went out. He closed the door. Su Yan took off her shoes and took a dip when it cooled down a little.
After soaking for about a quarter of an hour, my whole body felt warmer.
After a while, she wiped her feet and went out with the wooden basin. When she opened the door, she saw the man at the door.
He reached out and took it, "Go and lie down."
Su Yan turned her head slightly and looked at the man in the dark night. Under the cover of the dark night, his body became taller and taller, which made people feel at ease and steady.
At first, I was still a little worried about whether he could live a steady life, but now I have nothing to worry about.
Qin An's heart is very attentive, and he is not the kind to pretend. Some people can pretend for a day or two and one or two things, but they can never pretend so well every time.
Besides, she has nothing to gain. He can make money and find a wife.
Anyone else would be better than a widow like her.
As soon as she lay down, Qin An came in. He turned around, took off his jacket and cotton trousers, and lay down on the bed.
It was probably a little early, and neither of them felt sleepy. After a while, Qin An suddenly said: "Come here, sleep here, cover up the heat."
He slightly opened a corner of the quilt, quickly covered it, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but she was afraid that he would be cold for a while, so she opened the quilt and got into his bed, and a warmth enveloped her directly.
Qin An walked around from the head of the bed to the inside. The quilt seemed not very warm. He frowned. It was not the coldest day yet.
By then, she was afraid that she would be cold when she fell asleep.
"Sleep more inside."
Su Yan moved and said sincerely: "Brother Qin, thank you."
"Don't say thank you." Qin An said in a low voice.
He reached over her and pinched the corner of the quilt carefully, "Just say when you feel cold, I'll be by your side."
…
The next morning, after dinner.
Qin An put the hairpin in the basket on his back and said, "I went to town and will be back later. What do you want to eat?"
"I'll go with you. We'll finish feeding the chickens soon." Su Yan stirred the chicken food with a wooden branch and soon found it in the chicken pen.
It was too cold today. His hands and feet were probably numb halfway through. Qin An shook his head and said in disapproval: "If you don't go, you will come back later."
After saying that, he strode out carrying his things.
Goudan’s mother combed Goudan’s hair, and the hair that had been combed earlier was tangled up again, “Your family is so considerate, they must be worried about you being cold.”
"When I got up in the morning, I saw that he was still baking your shoes and socks."
"Even in the days since I got married, my family has never done any of these things."
"At most, you could bring me a basin of water to wash my face. Alas, when I had a baby, I didn't even have the water."
After saying that, she smiled, obviously not taking it seriously at all, and added: "But my family really has nothing to say to me. He will protect me no matter where I am."
"My mother-in-law bullied me, so he confronted her. There are not many people in the village who can do this to their own mother."
"If my mother-in-law treats me so badly, how can I respect her? If I don't mention it, it gives me a headache."
Goudan raised his head and said, "Mom, I will help you beat grandma from now on. I hate her, she grabs me every time."
"I told you not to go and play, but you have to go." Goudan gave him a damn look.
Su Yan knew that her husband's family was the housekeeper here, and the village was noisy every day. Either the daughter-in-law of this family was quarreling with her mother-in-law, or the mother-in-law of that family was beating her daughter-in-law.
She and Qin An are quite relaxed, at least they don't have such trivial relationships.
"Sister, I will dig winter bamboo shoots later, will you go?"
"Go, it's okay anyway." Goudan's mother patted Goudan's head and said:
"Just play with the dog at aunt's house. You are not allowed to go out and run around. Your father is busy and has no time to play with you."
Goudan nodded obediently, looked at Su Yan and said, "Aunt Qin, are you going to make something delicious later?"
Hearing this, Su Yan smiled and put down the wooden stick in her hand, "Well, if you are obedient, I will stew the ribs for you later."
Goudian nodded quickly and said childishly: "Aunt Qin, I am obedient. I will help you take care of your dogs and prevent them from going out."
…
There were still a lot of bamboo shoots popping up in winter, so Su Yan and Goudan Niang dug until noon and dug two large baskets.
I had to make bamboo shoots at noon, so I just ate some rice.
In the afternoon, the two men peeled the bamboo shoots with cloth covers and boiled them after peeling. The bamboo shoots had a bitter taste and took more than half an hour to cook.
By the time everything is cooked, it will be dark.
My hands were itchy after I got the bamboo shoots. Goudan Sitting at the door of the stove, lighting the fire, scratching the palms of my hands, "The bamboo shoots are delicious, but my hands are itchy."
Su Yan's hands were also itchy, but they were fine. "Wash them again." After saying that, she couldn't help but look towards the yard.
She added: "Why hasn't Brother Qin come back yet?"
Even if I wanted to buy something, I would still be back at this time.
"Yeah, it's already dark, what can happen? Bah, bah, bah, look at my mouth." Goudan's mother hurriedly slapped her own mouth.
Su Yan was also worried that something had happened to him, otherwise he would have come back long ago.
The food is ready, and we are waiting for Qin An to come back to cook.
As a result, it was already dark, and Qin An was nowhere to be seen.
Su Yan was worried, "I'll go find him."
"Don't go, you are a woman's house, you go Caifu." Goudan's mother pushed Jiang Caifu who was sitting.
Jiang Caifu nodded, and Su Yan thought about having one more person to accompany her, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang."
Seeing them all going, Goudan’s mother also wanted to go, “Then let’s search together, it’s safer if there are more people.”
"Goudan will stay at home and watch over you."
The walls of the Qin family's courtyard are good, and the gates are all double-layered wooden doors, so ordinary people can't get in.
Unless a strong man like Qin An.
Worried that Goudan would run out, Su Yan locked the door from the outside, and a group of three people walked along the river. They shouted several times but no one answered.
Several people walked around to the other side of the river and walked for a long time without seeing anyone. Su Yan felt a little uneasy and walked faster and faster.
Going a little further from Yazikou, a few people saw a tall figure striding over in the moonlight.
Although she couldn't see the face clearly, Su Yan recognized it immediately, "Brother Qin." After saying that, she felt relieved.
The black figure paused for a moment, then quickly walked over. The silhouette of the young woman was vaguely visible against the moonlight, "Why are you here?"
After saying that, he subconsciously squeezed her hand. It was already frozen. He stretched out his hand to cover her and said, "Don't come to me next time. I'll be fine."
This man left just like that, still worried that her hands would be cold. Su Yan didn't know whether to call him sincere or stupid, "I'm fine."
Jiang Caifu and Goudanfu came over from the other side. Jiang Caifu gasped and said, "I hope you're okay. The girl was almost scared to death. She ran here all the way."
"I went to the county seat and came back a little late. I'm sorry to bother you."
After Qin An warmed Su Yan's hands, he put the backpack in front of him, then took it down and said, "Come up."
"I'm not tired." Su Yan quickly refused.
Qin An insisted: "Come up."
Su Yan had no choice but to get on his back. His back was very generous and a little warm, "What are you doing in the county town?"
"There is no Tangbaozi in the town. I asked around and no one was selling it, so I went to the county town to buy it."
Qin An paused for a moment and then said: "My feet won't freeze when I sleep at night."
Hearing this, Su Yan felt so soft. She hugged his neck, kissed the side of his face in the dark, and said softly: "Okay."
Qin An froze, and then a warmth enveloped his whole body. He was a little tired after driving for several hours.
The warmth on his face swept away the fatigue on his body.
Although Goudanfu didn't know what the two of them were doing, she knew that Qin An was carrying Su Yan, and she was extremely envious for a moment.
She patted Jiang Caifu next to her and whispered, "Carry me."
Jiang Caifu hurriedly walked faster, "I can hardly walk because of you."
"If I tell you that you have gained weight, don't you know clearly?" After saying that, he laughed.
Goudan's mother chased him and kicked him, "Blame me for gaining weight? It's obviously you who is useless."
"Yes, yes, I'm useless."
…
Qin family
It was already very late when I got home, and all the puppies got into the kennel to sleep. One person and two puppies slept together.
Goudan's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she bent down and dragged him out, "You damn bastard, you won't sleep on a bed, so you'll sleep in a doghouse."
"The doghouse is warm." Goudan rubbed his eyes.
Su Yan knew that he must be hungry, "Auntie will prepare something delicious for you right away."
She washed her hands and started working in the kitchen.
Qin An took out the pastries, put half of them on the table, and took the other half back to the room for Su Yan to keep.
After cleaning up and it was past midnight, Qin An insisted on boiling wild ginger water for her to soak her feet. While she was soaking her feet, he went to put hot water in the soup pot.
When she went to bed, the whole quilt was warm. Su Yan got warmer and sat up, then put Mrs. Tang on Qin An's quilt for a while.
Qin An came in after taking a shower and found that the bed was hot. He felt helpless and moved Mrs. Tang to her bed.
"I'm not cold, just cover it up. I've asked the doctor. My hands and feet are cold and I need to nurse them back."
"This time the hairpin was sold for more than three taels, and only a little over a hundred yuan was left. Tang Pozi is a bit expensive."
He didn't tell her, but Su Yan also knew that Mrs. Tang was expensive and that this thing was only available to rich families, so Qin An was really willing to give up on her.
For something so expensive, I wouldn’t hesitate at all.
"Brother Qin, why are you so nice to me."
Qin An's eyes were soft, "You are my wife."
Although the two were not married, in his heart she was his wife.
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Sure, I'll be nice to you too."
…
During the day, Goudan's mother saw Su Yan sitting in the main room with Mrs. Tang on her knees, "Where did Mrs. Tang come from? Did Qin An buy it?"
Su Yan nodded and lifted it up for her to warm her hands, "He said my feet are cold and I should cover them to warm them up at night."
"This thing must be hot. He's really willing to give it up. It's not cheap." Goudan's mother stretched out her hand to cover the side, and her palms immediately felt warm.
No wonder those housekeepers always carry this when winter comes, it's too warm.
She covered it for a while and then returned it to Su Yan, "The roof of my house has been built. I will move back later. Come to my place for a meal at noon."
"become."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Su Yan nodded, then showed her the soles of Na's shoes, and said: "Sister, how can I make the soles thicker and warmer?"
"Double layer, two bottoms, with cotton in the middle." Goudanzi came over and took a closer look.
Before Su Yan could say anything, a voice came from outside the door, "Su Yan! Come out here! You shameless thing has actually married someone else!"
"I won't even go back to my parents' house!"
The two people immediately looked at the door. An old woman was standing at the door cursing.
The original mother is Li Guiju.
Qin An, who was sitting in the yard playing with wooden hairpins, stood up, patted the sawdust on his body, walked to the door, and said with a sullen face: "Swear again!"
Li Guiju naturally knew him. Even if she didn't know, she was afraid when she saw him as big as him. She took a few steps back.
"You are her newly married man, right? I'll give you twenty taels of silver as a bride price, otherwise you won't be able to be together."
Su Yan knew that her sudden appearance would do nothing good. She stood up and walked out, "Don't say twenty taels, I won't give you a penny."
"If I marry the Li family, I belong to the Li family. If I marry again, it has nothing to do with your Su family."
"You were born to me, so why doesn't it matter? If you can't come up with twenty taels of silver, I won't leave here!"
Li Guiju had heard from others that the Qin family had made a fortune recently, building tile-roofed houses and buying land.
Su Yan was not afraid of her acting out, "It's up to you, you can stand at the door as long as you want."
"Also, if I were you, I wouldn't be able to say that you would give birth to me and sell your daughter to someone else as a wedding gift."
Li Guiju often beat her at home. When she heard such retorts, she became so angry that she wanted to pay her to beat her.
However, Qin An directly grabbed her wrist and threw her out with all his strength, saying fiercely: "Try again."
