When Su Yan heard him calling him that, she was stunned for a moment, then turned to look over, then put down the things in her hands and walked over, "What's wrong, Brother Qin?"
"Don't worry about them. If you want to drink, go to the kitchen and go back to the house to rest."
Qin An saw that her forehead was sweating, so he patted the back of his hand, and then wiped it with her.
Su Yan smiled brightly and said, "I'm not tired. You can take a break. There are so many helpers, so you can just watch."
"Brother Qin, I laid six eggs today." His eyes lit up after he said this.
"Well, it's getting late, let's make some food." Qin An didn't want her to do such rough work.
Su Yan was also planning to make some food. Qin An had been out and about for more than half a month without eating anything good, so she wanted to try her best to make delicious food for him.
She nodded and went out, and came back after a while carrying a rooster.
I guess he was well fed and weighed several kilograms.
Qin An saw it, walked over and cleaned it with a knife without saying anything. Before it got dark, the smell of food came from the kitchen.
The helpers looked at it again and again, and an uncle praised Qin An: "Your mother-in-law is hardworking and capable, and her cooking is so delicious. She has a good wife."
You will know if this woman is diligent or not after a quick look. She is good-looking but quick at work, so she worked with them all afternoon.
Qin An, who was moving bricks, looked softer and agreed: "Yeah."
The uncle didn't say anything. He wanted to surround the yard before dark, otherwise the Qin family would still have to guard against thieves.
Finally, the yard was fenced in before dark. The bigger the yard, the bigger the door.
The wooden door cannot be installed, so it can only be pretended to be installed, and a new door will be replaced when the time comes.
Su Yan did not leave the helpers to come down to eat. There were so many men at home and there were not enough bowls and chopsticks. Instead, she baked a handful of pickled meat cakes.
She took it out and put it on a stool in the yard, "I made some pancakes. Each of you can take two to pad your stomach on the way."
"Don't be embarrassed, just get it yourself."
After saying that, she pulled Qin An into the kitchen, and then handed him a plate of steamed dumplings, "Eat some first, the chicken will be stewed soon."
Qin An was indeed hungry, so he took one and fed it to her. Su Yan opened her mouth and ate it. After swallowing it, she smiled and said, "Eat it while it's hot. I just ate two pancakes."
None of the helpers outside were polite. They took two pancakes and left one after another. In the end, they were left with seven or eight pancakes.
Su Yan confiscated it immediately, and Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai each took one and went to the kennel to eat it.
When she saw it, she couldn't laugh or cry, "You guys know how to eat good things. If you don't eat the food in the dog bowl, don't eat it tonight."
Qin An has a big appetite. With him around, there will be no leftovers. Basically, the dogs will be fed fresh meals.
Eighty percent of them are being naughty.
Qin An was very willing to feed them, and sometimes even specially selected meat for them to eat, presumably because he wanted them to grow stronger.
Able to look after the house.
After all, it's still for her.
Both of them were tired today and fell asleep soon after going to bed. When Su Yan woke up in the middle of the night, she heard Qin An snoring slightly. She was probably tired.
The house at home has been busy for seven or eight days. It was already afternoon when everything was done, and the sun was shining brightly.
Not hot, very warm.
Su Yan quickly cleaned up the debris in the yard, and her waist hurt when she stood up. Qin An came back to pay the helper for the work and saw her.
He went back to the main room and brought a chair to her, motioning her to sit down and rest for a while, "I'll press it for you later."
His hands are dirty now.
Su Yan looked at the unsuitable wooden door and gasped slightly: "What should I do with the door? Do I make it myself or buy it in the town?"
"I'll go to town tomorrow and buy a solid wooden door."
After Qin An finished speaking, he took a hoe and moved the peach tree in the courtyard to the side. After finishing it, he moved the remaining green bricks in, right next to the courtyard wall.
He planned to build a laundry place here so that Su Yan would not have to go to the river to wash her clothes every time.
But you have to wait until you get married to do it.
Spring is about to pass...
After he finished, he took a look around and saw that the yard was getting better and better, and looked more and more like home.
Got a family.
Su Yan sat for a while and stood up, "Brother Qin, please call Goudan's family over for a meal tonight. They have been in trouble a lot lately."
Qin An thought of her waist, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll invite you tomorrow night. You have a good rest today."
"Tomorrow let's go to the town market together and prepare things for the wedding." There was still a bit of urgency behind the words.
Su Yan couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and patted the ash on his shoulder, "Okay."
After talking for a while, Su Yan went to clean up the house, and Qin An followed her.
Seeing that she was about to move her belongings, he pursed his lips and said a little unnaturally: "Stop moving, we will move there together after we get married."
He was used to sleeping next to her, and hearing her breathing at night made him feel at ease.
Su Yan glanced at him and said without any awkwardness: "Okay."
The corner of Qin An's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he bent down to help clean it up. The two of them had been busy for so many days, so they just had a little dinner and went to bed early.
…
Early next morning
The two locked the courtyard door and prepared to go to the market. Su Yan was worried and went to Goudan's house and said, "Sister, we went to town. If you have nothing to do, please help us look at the courtyard. The door is not finished yet."
Goudan's mother came over with a bowl and said with a smile: "Okay, you can help me bring some rice cakes worth five cents. Goudan is so delicious, he keeps asking me for it all day long."
"I'll give you money when you come back."
Su Yan nodded in agreement, "Sure, don't cook tonight, eat at my house."
"good."
Goudan’s mother readily agreed. After they left, she returned to the main room and asked Jiang Caifu, “How much will we give to the Qin family for repairing their house?”
"Just give it away, lest I talk too much later and you get angry at me." Jiang Caifu muttered.
Every time she got pregnant, his wife had a bad temper and everything he said was wrong. Now he has learned to be smart and just let her say whatever she wants.
Goudanfu was amused by him, "It was you talking nonsense this morning that made me angry."
Jiang Caifu didn't want to talk. This morning he said that the rice was not steamed, and he was scolded.
He didn't even know what was wrong with him.
Forget it, don't tell her, it won't be peaceful for dinner later.
Goudan glanced at his mother and did not dare to say anything nonsense. His father said that his mother was pregnant with a younger sister and was the little bully in the family.
Not to be messed with.
…
town
Su Yan has some business to do this time when she goes to town. The crabs she raises at home need to be discussed with a food shop.
It was just the beginning of spring, so many people were busy with work, and the food shop had little business. When the shopkeeper saw the two people coming, he asked the waiter to pour tea, "What delicious food are you cooking again?"
Su Yan smiled, shook her head and said, "No, I came here to talk to you about crabs. I raise a lot of crabs at home, and I can supply them to you."
"You bought it for fifteen cents per catty before, so I'll count it as thirteen cents for you."
The crab pot sold for a lot of money last year during the hot weather, but the weather turned cold later and no one caught crabs, so it was no longer sold.
The shopkeeper thought about it for a moment and agreed, "Okay, can this day also be offered?"
"We still have to wait half a month, some crabs are too small."
Su Yan paused for a moment and then said: "I can provide you with this winter."
Crabs reproduce quite quickly, but now it takes time.
