As soon as she heard this, Su Yan knew it was because she said he had rough hands just now, so she walked over and took the knife, "Wait for it to fall off by itself."
She glanced at him and said seriously: "I don't mind him."
Qin An's deep eyes reflected the woman's face. He pursed his lips and his throat rolled.
"Do you think I'm old?" After saying this, he moved his fingers unnaturally.
He asked this suddenly, and Su Yan didn't react. After a while, she suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Qin, what are you thinking about?" After saying that, she took the spatula and pushed it in the pot a few times.
She was a little amused and asked: "How old are you?"
Qin An pursed his lips and said, "I'm twenty-six."
At this age, he can be the father of two children in the village.
"That's not old either."
Su Yan couldn't see anything about Qin An being old. He was strong and had no connection with him at all.
Qin An asked again with a bit of disbelief, "Really?"
"Really, you look like a teenager." Su Yan smiled and fooled him, but it was not a fool. Qin An didn't look like a young boy, but he was really not old.
If he is like this, even if he is old, he doesn't know what other people are.
Qin An's cheeks were a little red, he looked down at the stove and said in a low voice: "Are you still angry?"
"No, okay, pickles are delicious. This year we will grow more leafy vegetables and use them to make pickles."
Su Yan neatly served him a bowl and said, "It's a bit hot."
Qin An took it and put it on the stove, then stood up and took the handkerchief to wipe the table, folded it twice, and then handed it to Su Yan, "Eat on it."
His skin was thick and he was not afraid of being burned, but her hands were not.
Thinking of this, he added: "When the house is finished, I will buy some thick bowls."
"My family is a little busy these days. You don't have to worry about it. Just make food by yourself. You can make whatever you want to eat. Just tell me what you want to buy and I will go to town to buy it."
The man barely said that he felt sorry for her. Although the man would not say those sweet words, Su Yan liked him more like this. She could feel it even though he didn't say it.
"I know, don't worry about me. I will rest when I'm tired." Su Yan took the handkerchief, picked up the dumplings, took the chopsticks and went to sit in the yard to eat.
Qin An sat on the threshold of the hall, eating and looking at the woman in the yard. He felt very happy without saying anything.
There were still chickens and dogs to feed, so he took the medicine first and then went to do these things.
After Su Yan finished eating, he went to wash the dishes, cleared the stove, and heated water for Su Yan to wash her face and feet.
Su Yan was used to it. She finished washing first and then went back to the house. It was probably because the two of them had slept on the same bed before, so she didn't have anything to be embarrassed about. She slept in the back and waited for Qin An.
After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer. The next moment, a black figure pushed the door open and came in, then closed the wooden door.
The shadow did not come over immediately, but went to the cabinet. After a while, the candles in the room were lit.
"I forgot to give it to you yesterday, let's see if you like it."
Qin An took a wooden box and walked to the bed. His eyes fell on the woman with disheveled hair. Her face was a bit soft under the yellowish light.
His throat tightened, and then he looked away.
Su Yan took the wooden box and opened it to see a silver hairpin with some red stones inlaid on it. It looked expensive.
"Where did you get the money?"
She gave him twenty taels, and he left nineteen taels under his pillow, and gave him another hundred taels in silver notes when he came back.
I probably didn't eat well on the way either.
Qin An sat on the edge of the bed, took off his boots and went to bed. He did not lie down, but sat against the head of the bed. "There is a dock over there. We sent people there and helped move the goods. We made a few taels of silver."
As soon as she heard this, Su Yan looked over his shoulder. What kind of goods cost a few taels of silver? It must be heavy goods and not easy to move.
No wonder the clothes are dirty.
"Take off your clothes and show me." After saying that, he put down the hairpin and looked at him.
Facing the woman's worried gaze, Qin An felt something strange in his heart. If he could give her his life, he would not hesitate.
He comforted: "It's okay."
Su Yan didn't believe it, so she got out of bed wearing her underwear to get the ointment, "If you don't take it off, I will help you take it off later."
Hearing this, Qin An's rough face turned red instantly and he looked at her unnaturally. Su Yan ignored him and went to get the medicine and came back.
"hurry up."
Under her gaze, Qin An only took off his clothes, his chest was exposed, his abdominal muscles were obvious, and he looked very strong.
He lowered his head uncomfortably, "It's okay."
Su Yan fell on his shoulder, which was already scabbed and a little red.
She took some ointment and applied it on him, "You don't want to tell me that you also need to apply ointment yourself."
"It's okay to be young now, but everything will be bad when you get old in the future."
The woman's fingers fell on her shoulders, feeling numb and numb. Qin An's throat tightened and he didn't dare to take a breath. In the end, he grabbed the quilt with some discomfort.
The woman's fragrance pours into the tip of the nose continuously...
Su Yan didn't notice at all. She carefully applied the ointment on him and covered him with ointment. Just as she was about to stand up, she held her waist tightly with one big hand.
She immediately leaned against the rough man's chest, and the hot temperature made her face turn red.
Qin An didn't do anything else, just hugged her and assured her in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I will pay attention to it in the future."
He paused and then added: "This is my first time traveling far away and thinking about home."
"I'm worried that you will have a hard time at home and be bullied."
Su Yan's heart softened, she leaned on his chest and said softly: "I am not easily bullied. If anyone bullies me, I will tell you."
Qin An said "Yeah", and the next moment, with a little force on his hands, he picked her up and put her on the bed. He took the ointment in her hand and placed it on the corner of the bed.
Then he held her in his arms and covered her with the same quilt, "Go to sleep."
Su Yan blushed a little. She moved uncomfortably and whispered: "Your chest is too hard and it's uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Qin An put her head on the pillow, and then hugged her sideways, feeling indescribably at ease in his heart.
Su Yan was a little uncomfortable, but she still had to adapt to this method. After all, she didn't have to sleep together again.
It's not good for her to be coy, and Qin An might think that she doesn't like him very much.
Even though he may look like a tall guy, he is actually very uneasy.
He was probably used to being alone since he was young, and now that she was suddenly around him, he was a little worried about gain and loss.
…
The next morning, all the green bricks were delivered and they were piled up in a row outside. After counting the money for the bricks, the total was twenty-eight taels of silver.
The main thing is that the courtyard wall also needs to be encircled, and a lot of green bricks have to be scrapped.
In the afternoon, about ten helpers came to work on the house.
Half of them built the courtyard wall, and half of them repaired the house.
The yard was expanded by more than half, and this area belonged to Qin An's family. No one dared to say anything, but they were jealous of the excitement.
What kind of luck did the Qin family have to build a brick house?
Qin An had been busy all day without resting, and was still thinking about Su Yan, for fear that she would be tired.
He took some time out, patted the dust on his hands, and said in a low voice to the young woman who was handing water to the helper at the edge of the yard: "Yan'er, come here."
