Chapter 85: Mom and Dad, this is your daughter-in-law
kitchen
Listening to the soft footsteps, the man turned his head and looked over. The woman was wearing a pink coat and skirt, which made her complexion fair and her cheeks had a thin blush.
A pink fringed silk flower was pinned to her hair.
A woman's figure is already petite, so when she puts on a coat and skirt, her waist will be full.
A pair of eyes that are not smiling but slightly raised, with clear and watery eyes.
Qin An glanced at it a few times, and finally his face turned red with embarrassment, and he boasted: "It looks good."
Su Yan brushed the strands of hair away from her ears and said with a smile, "It's just not easy to do things."
"I'll do it." Qin An agreed without any hesitation.
Su Yan didn't say anything. She opened the cupboard and took out the core of the glutinous rice balls. "To make this, why don't you steam a few glutinous rice balls to eat? The other day I saw the steamed glutinous rice balls at Goudan's. They were quite delicious."
"Okay." Qin An nodded.
While the rice dumplings were steaming in the steamer, Goudan's mother brought four poached eggs over and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot." After that, she left.
Su Yan took it back to the kitchen and divided three into another bowl, "Brother Qin, eat while it's hot."
Qin An glanced at it and pursed his lips. Before he said anything, Su Yan quickly explained: "I want to eat glutinous rice balls, but I won't be able to eat them anymore when I'm full."
Hearing this, Qin An didn't say anything, but he took the yolk of the poached egg and gave the white edge to Su Yan, "Give me the yolk."
Several times he discovered that Su Yan didn't like eating egg yolks.
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and then she gave him the egg yolk. Qin An smiled and said in a low voice, "Give me whatever you don't like."
"I'll eat everything."
After thinking of something, he took a red money bag from his sleeve and said, "Red envelope for the New Year, take it to buy something to eat."
Su Yan had not received a red envelope for many years, so she was a little surprised. She glanced at him, a little embarrassed, "I didn't even give you a red envelope."
"No, I'm a man, there's no need for it."
Qin An only remembered this when he heard Goudan asking his mother for a red envelope.
Seeing that the woman was very happy made him feel at ease.
As long as she likes it.
Su Yan put it away in her purse. She picked up the bowl and ate again. After breakfast, Qin An cut up rotten vegetable leaves and fed them to the chickens. After feeding the chickens, she tidied up the main room.
I couldn't sweep the floor today, so I simply tidied it up.
Qin An took out something to burn incense and looked at Su Yan, "I'm going to burn paper for my parents."
Su Yan nodded without hesitation, "Well, let's go together. When the time comes, we will burn it for the Li family."
Seeing the man standing still, she looked at him doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
Qin An lowered his head slightly, and held the edge of the backpack tightly with his hands, "People in the village say that my parents are unlucky, so don't go."
He didn't dare let Su Yan take the risk, even if he knew it was fake.
Hearing this, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Qin An's parents seemed to have died of illness, and the village had always said that the Qin family was unlucky.
Suddenly there was a touch of softness in his hand. Qin An looked down at the small hand in the big hand. He raised his head again unnaturally.
The woman looked real and said with a smile: "I'm not unlucky either, so I put it together, it's just right."
"Let's go, Brother Qin. I heard that this town is very lively. After we finish burning, we can go to town for a while."
Qin An felt soft and held her hand back. With the other hand, she threw the backpack on her shoulder, "Okay."
There were a lot of people going up to the mountain to burn incense today, probably because it was the New Year's Day. Everyone was smiling, even people they didn't like on weekdays could laugh once or twice.
The graves of Qin An's father and mother are relatively far away. They are not on the top of the mountain here. It takes a quarter of an hour or two to get there.
It was a bit difficult to walk along the way, and Su Yan was wearing a coat and skirt, so she was a little slow. In front of a hurdle, Qin An stopped, turned around, and held Su Yan firmly in his arms, "Hold."
After saying that, he held her in his arms and strode across the ridge. After walking more than 20 steps, he put her down on the level ridge and said, "Next year I will fix the road."
"Okay." Su Yan fiddled with her cloak.
The graves of Qin An's father and mother were buried together. They were piled with stones and stone tablets were erected. It is estimated that part of the money earned in the past few years was used to repair the tombs.
Qin An bent down and took out the incense candle, and then placed paper money on the ground. He knelt on the ground, lit the paper money and kowtowed three times.
Parents, this is your daughter-in-law. You must wish her safety and success.
She is very good and I like her very much.
He stood up and turned around to see the woman kneeling behind him, kowtowing three times politely, and stood up with her cloak stained with dirt.
His heart suddenly turned into soft mud, he bent down and reached out to pat her cloak, but didn't say anything after finishing the rubbish.
He just packed up his backpack without saying a word and watched the paper money burn out. He hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold Su Yan.
Seen from a distance, the woman does not reach the man's shoulders and is a bit petite.
The man looked particularly tall and strong.
It had been more than half an hour since the two of them burned the Li family's grave. Qin An carried all his money with him and then carried the basket on his back.
The door to Goudan's house has been closed, obviously the family has gone out.
There were so many people riding across the river today, and the price was half as expensive as usual. Even so, it couldn't stop me from celebrating the festival.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Widow Li dressed like a flower. The women felt a little jealous and envious, and the men couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Qin An helped Su Yan get on the bamboo raft and glanced at the crowd with a scary look on his face.
Turning around, he took out a bag of pastries from his arms and gave it to Su Yan, saying in a low voice: "Eat some first, and then eat something good when we get to town."
Su Yan was actually not very hungry, but in order to piss off the people in the village, she opened it and twisted a piece of it. It would be better for her and Qin An to get along better now.
There is no such thing as a bad death.
…
town
The town is very lively today, with many trinkets selling various lanterns, snacks, and wooden trinkets.
Su Yan looked all the way and didn't buy anything, mainly because it was useless to buy them back. She didn't say anything, but Qin An was unhappy.
He reached out and took her wrist, pursed his lips, "What do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment. Seeing the serious look on the man's face, she thought for a moment, "That rabbit lantern."
Qin An said "Yeah" and turned around to buy. After walking a few steps, he stopped, reached out and held her wrist again, obviously afraid that she would get lost.
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she followed him. Today's rabbit lanterns were particularly expensive, selling for fifty cents each.
It was too expensive. Su Yan tugged on Qin An's sleeve and said, "Forget it, we'll go eat later."
Qin An stood still, lowered his head and counted fifty coins to the uncle at the stall. The uncle handed him one with a smile.
Qin An took it and handed it to Su Yan. When he met her eyes, he bent down slightly and said, "It's okay. I will make more money in the future."
At this time, a family crowded over, and Su Yan immediately threw herself into Qin An's arms.
Qin An subconsciously put his arm around the heroine's shoulders, then pushed the person who was squeezing away with one hand, frowned and said: "Don't squeeze."
