Chapter 325: Qin An, he can’t(2/2)
The whole family was busy with this harvest. There were not many people selling sweet-scented osmanthus, so they had to help pick it themselves.
Before dawn, Su Yan, Qin An and Zhang Xiu went to the sweet-scented osmanthus forest to pick sweet-scented osmanthus.
The dew in the morning was heavy, and through the grass, several people's shoes got wet, but it didn't soak through.
The sweet-scented osmanthus seller was already picking the sweet-scented osmanthus. There were five or six people in the family, and one child was lying in the field sleeping. He looked like three or four years old.
Old man Cheng greeted: "You are here, have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
Su Yan took a few pieces of candy from the basket and gave them to the woman next to her. The woman accepted them with some embarrassment.
There was something serious to do, so a group of people didn't say anything and just picked osmanthus flowers quickly.
Su Yan felt a little pain in her back after standing for a long time. "Ms. sir, fold some branches for me. I'll do them while I'm sitting. My back hurts a little."
Hearing this, Qin An put down the basket in his hand, walked behind her, reached out and gently squeezed her waist. After half a quarter of an hour, he said in a low voice: "Go sit up there and rest."
"Get me some." Su Yan nodded.
Qin An said "Yeah", broke off some branches, walked over with both hands, and placed them in front of her.
"It's so early for the Cheng family!"
A woman carrying a hoe passed by the Cheng family's field, and then glanced at Su Yan and Qin An.
The daughter-in-law of the Cheng family responded: "Well, Sister Li, the grass in your field hasn't been shoveled yet?"
"It's not like my family is lazy!"
The woman said dissatisfiedly, then looked at Su Yan, "Are you the widow who runs the shop?"
Suddenly everyone looked at her, and before the woman realized anything, she said, "Is your shop still hiring? Do you think I can succeed? I can do my job efficiently. You can ask the Cheng family."
Su Yan didn't sense her malice. She probably listened to someone else's half-sentence, so she nodded and said, "Here, we still need a woman to wash dishes."
"I can do it. I often wash the dishes for the whole family," the woman said happily.
"good."
As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, she saw Qin An walking over, "Daughter-in-law."
The woman was stunned for a moment and then reacted: "You are not a widow. I heard that you are a widow and you open a shop."
"Look at my mouth! I'm sorry, but don't be angry."
Su Yan smiled and said, "It's okay. I used to be a widow, but now I'm marrying my husband-in-law."
Then he took the kettle and handed it to Qin An.
Qin An took it, took a few sips, and said to the woman, "My surname is Qin, and my wife takes my surname."
What he meant was not to call his wife a widow.
The woman quickly said: "Ms. Qin."
Su Yan looked at the man and smiled, "You just go to the shop tomorrow. Just tell me that I asked you to come. The shopkeeper will see if you can do it. If you can, he will keep you here."
"I can do it, don't worry, I can work well." The woman happily carried the hoe and left.
Old Mrs. Cheng was afraid that Su Yan would be too preoccupied, so she explained: "The daughter-in-law of the Sun family is famous for being careless, but she is not a bad person. She helps with anything and is quick at work. The whole family relies on her alone."
"Her family hasn't done any work since they got married, but she doesn't say anything and just does it by herself when there is work."
Su Yan nodded, indicating that she understood, and then stretched out her hand to pull Qin An to sit and have a rest. The two of them sat on one side, with the basket in the middle.
Su Yan whispered: "When will you go to town?"
I will start studying at the academy the day after tomorrow.
She couldn't leave here, so she couldn't go to the county town with him.
"Leave tomorrow night."
"The house over there hasn't been cleaned yet. We'll leave tomorrow night. You can clean it and go to bed. If you don't have time, you can leave this afternoon. I'll buy some food later. After you finish, you can go to the county seat."
After Su Yan finished speaking, she looked at the clothes on his body and then warned, "Go buy two more clothes and wear them better in the academy."
"I'll be here in half a month. Then I'll ask the shop to deliver food to you at noon. You can just pick it up at the door. If you don't want to cook for dinner, just go out and eat. Don't eat steamed buns all day."
"I'll give you a hundred cents a day, and I'll be angry if I don't get it."
One hundred Wen is not a lot in the county town, but it is not much, but Qin An is afraid that he will just eat a few steamed buns all day long to save trouble.
He is not picky, as long as he fills his stomach.
After hearing what she said, Qin An said, "I'll buy and cook my own food."
"Okay, bring the bacon up, cook it and stir-fry it with pickles." Su Yan took advantage of the free time to give him a few more words.
She wasn't worried about anything else about him, she was just worried about him casually making things up.
Then she said: "After washing your college clothes, don't twist them and hang them on the rope, otherwise they will wrinkle easily."
He likes to wash clothes. Every time he finishes washing, the clothes become wrinkled.
"Okay, don't worry, I know it myself." Qin An felt a little empty when he thought about not seeing her for half a month.
"If you want to go to the county town, ask the shop to bring me a letter one day in advance, and I will come back to pick you up."
"good."
When Qin An left, Tuantuan refused to do anything and cried in Su Yan's arms as if he had no father. She saw Qin An's eyes were a little red.
In the end, he had to let Qin An put Tuantuan to sleep before leaving.
When he got on the carriage, Su Yan took out a money bag from her arms and put it on his chest, "Be willing to spend it, don't save it, don't rush back to see us at night, I will worry."
"I'll go to the county seat after finishing here."
