Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Xu Yunfan, don't be angry

As for the Xiao Qin family, Qin Run is naturally more familiar with it than Xu Yunfan.

"I'll find a big plate and put them in the cupboard so no mice can steal them."

Qin Run was not sure if there were mice in his house, but he had to be on guard. If such delicious bread made by Xu Yunfan himself was ruined by mice, he would be heartbroken.

"Okay, you take care of it. I feel a little hot, so I'm going to go wash my face and take a rest. The sweet potatoes are baked, you called me." Xu Yunfan was thinking about his baked sweet potatoes, and he didn't forget to remind Qin Run while washing his face and taking a rest.

Qin Run found a large plate from somewhere and carefully put the bread in it. He couldn't help but smile when he heard it. "Yes, I remember it. Don't worry, you can rest. If you are tired, you can take a nap."

Since the busy farming season began, Xu Yunfan didn't get up too early in the morning. He would sleep enough before waking up naturally. However, he used to have good living conditions and could take a nap every day. Since coming here, Xu Yunfan hasn't slept at all. Every time he takes a nap at noon, he would feel very sleepy and his whole body would be weak.

Xu Yunfan looked up at the scorching sun. The room must be extremely hot at this hour. "I'm not going to sleep anymore. An Ge'er, will you get sunburned if you go out in such hot weather?"

"No," Qin Run put away the bread and walked out, "The children in the village are heat-resistant and won't be easily damaged by the sun."

Xu Yunfan: “…”

What Qin Run said seemed to be true. Two days ago at noon, he saw some young men aged thirteen or fourteen going swimming together, and no parents stopped them. It seemed that they had become accustomed to it.

Xu Yunfan didn't want to take a nap, he just wanted to wait to eat roasted sweet potatoes. He took a stool and sat under the eaves next to the main room, watching Qin Run draw water from the well and start washing clothes. He had no intention of going up to help.

Xu Yunfan had wanted to do the laundry, but every time his hands just touched the basin and before he could even fill it with water, Qin Run would stop him.

After a few times, Xu Yunfan simply stopped arguing. After all, there were three people in the family, and three sets of clothes to wash every day, so it wasn't tiring.

Qin Run drew water from the well, poured it into a wooden basin, and then began to scrub it. He even did not spare Xu Yunfan's underwear and washed it very carefully.

Xu Yunfan took a shower too late last night, and Qin Run was waiting for him, so he simply didn't wash his shorts, thinking he would wash them today, but he was so busy that he forgot.

Qin Run took his shorts in his hands and scrubbed them carefully. Xu Yunfan felt his face flushed and he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at them anymore.

It felt as if Qin Run was not only washing a pair of tight underwear that he had worn, but also doing something overly intimate with him, which made people feel extremely embarrassed.

Qin Run clearly never said a word like "I like you", but his every move, every word, and every look when he looked at him clearly explained to Xu Yunfan that he liked him.

Although love is voluntary and there is no regret, Xu Yunfan couldn't bear to see Qin Run give his heart and get nothing in the end.

Because of this inexplicable emotion, Xu Yunfan wanted to follow his feelings. Maybe one day the relationship between them would come to fruition. At that time, everyone would be happy and Qin Run's sincerity would not be in vain.

if……

Xu Yunfan was too lazy to think about things that had not happened yet. In life, one should not dwell on the past and should not fear the future. Why bother himself with troubles?

At the moment, given their current relationship, Xu Yunfan would still feel a little embarrassed to let Qin Run wash his underwear.

He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Qin Run would think he was being pretentious.

After all, this was not the first or second time that Qin Run had washed his clothes.

In fact, it was not only Xu Yunfan who felt embarrassed, Qin Run also felt very embarrassed.

It was not appropriate for him, an unmarried man, to wash such intimate clothing for a man from another family.

But he didn't wash it, and Xu Yunfan couldn't remember it. He couldn't just leave it to become sour and smelly!

Xu Yunfan touched his nose, a thin layer of red appeared on his handsome face. He thought, Qin Run was so good to him, maybe out of return for a favor or out of some other feelings, he had to be nice to Qin Run in the future.

On the other side, Qin An was so happy that he had four loaves of bread in a small basket. As soon as he walked out of the yard, he put the bread he had taken a small bite of into the basket, covered it with banana leaves, and ran quickly to Grandma Qin's house.

On the way, Qin An met other villagers who were returning from working in the fields. Some of them saw him, just glanced at him and continued to rush home.

In their opinion, greeting a little fool is like greeting a cow. Can you expect the cow to respond to you?

Even if Qin An would respond, some people felt it was unnecessary. After all, the Xiao Qin family was now in decline. Even if they found a man to come to their house, it was hard to say whether Xu Yunfan would stay and how long he would stay. Besides, what good would it do if Xu Yunfan stayed? The Xiao Qin family would not have another boy born there, so naturally, there was no need for them to be on good terms with the Xiao Qin family.

Some villagers are just that powerful, but some are not.

When some elders from the same clan saw Qin An running with sweat all over his face, some uncles and aunts asked, "Brother An, what are you doing running so fast? Be careful, don't fall."

Qin An was normal at home. He would answer whatever Xu Yunfan asked. But it was different when he was away from home. Facing other villagers who were not too close to him, Qin An was like a mute, unable to say a word for a long time.

In the past, Qin An would have lowered his head and looked timid and cowardly when faced with such a situation. However, he has changed a lot since Xu Yunfan came to Xiao Qin's house.

Although he didn't answer, he pointed the way to Grandma Qin's house, and his meaning was very clear.

Everyone in the Qin family knew that Little Qin's family lived very close to Grandma Qin's family, so they didn't find it strange. Their eyes fell on the small basket in Qin An's hand, and after a few glances, they instructed, "Then go ahead, but run slowly."

Qin An nodded, turned around and ran a few more steps. Then he slowed down and walked quickly towards Grandma Qin.

"Oh, this child, he is always silent like a mute. What will he do in the future?"

An old lady sighed with a slightly melancholy tone, which made the aunts beside her feel a little worried unconsciously, "Who said it wasn't true? The younger one is silent when he sees people, and the older one has a miserable life. It's not easy for these two children."

"Xu looks like a good kid, but he's like that..." The aunt didn't know what to say anymore. As experienced people, they had heard a lot and seen too many men being fickle.

Those who are rich and good-looking rarely live a peaceful life.

In their opinion, it was only a matter of time before Xu Yunfan left Dali Village.

Qin An ran away without knowing what the ladies behind him were thinking. Now, he just wanted to get to Grandma Qin's house as soon as possible and eat delicious bread with San Dan and the others.

"Who is it?" Grandma Qin shouted when she heard the knock on the door.

The villagers rarely close their doors when they are at home. The reason why the gate of Grandma Qin's house was closed was because the family bought a kitten two days ago.

The kitten that just came home is shy and will run out of the yard if not watched.

So, when Qin An, a dwarf who was not even as tall as the gate, knocked on the gate, Qin Er and others looked over and saw no one in sight.

Qin An stood on tiptoe and tried to look into the yard, but his neck was not long enough and he was not tall enough, so he could only shout, "Grandma Qin."

Hearing Qin An's voice, Aunt Qin quickly stood up and opened the door. "Brother An, why are you here at this hour? Is there something wrong? Come in."

Now is the time to eat.

"No, I'm going to play with Dadan and the others." Qin An responded obediently.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Aunt Qin wiped his forehead with her hand without disdain, "You must be hot, come in quickly, I'll pour you a bowl of water."

The villagers are not so particular. They would not buy cups to drink water. They usually just scoop water from the water tank with a ladle and drink it directly.

It's already pretty good if he can bring you a bowl and pour you water.

Qin An was being pulled by Aunt Qin and had no time to speak. Upon hearing his grandmother's words, Dadan ran into the kitchen and quickly brought out a bowl of water. "Brother An, drink some water."

Qin An, who was a little thirsty, took the bowl and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Qin Er's wife's dish was ready. Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Da Dan and the others haven't eaten yet. You should eat with them first. You can play after you have eaten."

Grandma Qin thought that An Qin probably hadn't eaten yet. Even if he had, it would be dinner time when he came home, so of course she would call him.

"I've already had lunch." An Qin shook his head. Dadan brought him a stool and he sat down.

Qin Er, Qin San and others were not idle during the meal break. Each of them had a basket in front of them and was breaking corn kernels in their hands.

Qin San raised his eyes to look at Qin An, "Have you eaten? Then you can eat a little more, just in time to accompany Dadan and the others."

"No, I want to save my stomach for bread." Qin An put down the small basket in his hand, pulled a stool over and sat next to Qin San. He reached into the basket, took out a handful of corn and started to break the kernels. He wanted to wait until Dadan and the others finished their meal before eating bread together, so he didn't take out the bread now.

Uncle Qin asked curiously, "Bread? What kind of bread?"

Qin An had never been to the town. As he had only been out of the village a few times, he thought that the bread made by Xu Yunfan was a snack sold in the town, and Uncle Qin and others should know about it.

He raised his head and looked at Uncle Qin with his dark eyes, "Bread is bread!"

Uncle Qin: “…”

How could I not know that bread is bread?

"Uncle, you're asking what bread is?" Uncle Qin explained patiently, "I've never seen or heard of bread."

Hearing this, Qin An stared at Uncle Qin for a moment before putting down the corn cob in his hand. Instead, he picked up the small basket at his feet and placed it on his knees. He removed the banana leaves covering the basket, revealing the bread inside. He didn't forget to show off that he had a brother-in-law who could make bread. "This is bread. Brother-in-law made it."

When Uncle Qin and his companions saw the golden bread and smelled the unique aroma of bread, they all swallowed their saliva. Wow, you can tell at first glance that this thing is delicious!

Qin Er asked uncertainly, "Ang'er, was this really done by your brother-in-law?"

Xu Yunfan is just a little guy, but he has such great skills in making pastries?

"Yes!" Qin An turned his head to look at Dadan and Erdan who had come over without him noticing. They were already drooling with greed and secretly swallowing their saliva with their backs turned. He said, "Brother-in-law said he made a few extra and asked me to bring them over to Dadan, Erdan, Xiaoshan and the others to eat together."

"Ah?" Erdan, hearing this, no longer cared about the embarrassment. He gulped and said to Qin An, "Did Brother Xu really ask you to bring it to us?"

Qin An nodded. "Yes, Gefu said that good things should be shared. He specially packed it for me. Big Egg and Second Egg. The bread is delicious, fragrant and sweet. You can eat it after you finish your meal."

Goff said that children can eat a lot of things, but when it is time to eat, they have to eat. Only then will they be obedient children, and only obedient children will get candy.

He remembered this sentence very clearly.

Originally, Xu Yunfan thought that only by eating more rice and more meat could he grow tall and strong.

On second thought, it seemed that the guys here didn't think being tall and strong was beautiful, so I had to change my words.

The Qin family knew that Xu Yunfan came from overseas and had received education. They had heard from people from the other two clans that his teacher was a successful candidate in the imperial examination, so Xu Yunfan must know a lot.

Qin's second wife, who had come out to call for dinner, noticed the family gathered around Qin An and hadn't noticed the small basket on his knees. So, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Dad and Mom, grandma can eat now. An'er, why don't you eat here with Dadan today?"

Qin Er ignored his wife's shouts, "Ang'er, is this made by your brother-in-law? Why does it smell so good? It looks good too." You could tell it was delicious at first glance.

On the way to Grandma Qin's house, Qin An ran fast, and Xu Yunfan put the bread into the basket as soon as it came out of the steamer. Qin's house was not far away, so the bread was still steaming.

The hot air rushes into your nose, but you can smell the fragrance.

"Well, the bread smells good, Sister-in-law Qin Er, I have eaten." An Qin did not forget to reply to Qin Er's wife.

Qin Er's wife came over and asked, "What bread are you talking about? Why do I smell a delicious aroma?"

Qin San stepped aside and said, "Angel brought some bread over and wanted to share it with Dadan, Xiaoshan and the others."

Grandma Qin had lived for decades, and this was the first time she had seen bread. Just by looking at it and smelling it, she knew it must be even better than meat buns. Xu Yunfan was thoughtful enough to let Qin An bring it to Dadan and the others. "Xu boy is very good. Dadan and Erdan, you must listen to your brother Xu from now on, okay? Let's go eat first, and then we can eat after dinner."

"Okay, grandma, we understand." Grandma Qin didn't need to tell them, Dadan and Erdan both listened to Xu Yunfan, and they knew that Xu Yunfan was good to them. These past few days, Xu Yunfan had given them a lot of candy when he saw them in the cornfield.

Aunt Qin hesitated, "Are we really going to give this bread to Dadan and the others?"

It’s not that Aunt Qin thought there was anything wrong with the children eating bread that they had never seen or eaten before. It was simply that she thought it looked exquisite and must be difficult to make.

To put it simply, it is valuable.

These days, Xu Yunfan gave candy to Dadan and the others. They knew about it and initially told Xu Yunfan not to give it any more because candy was too precious.

But Xu Yunfan didn't listen and said that this thing was not worth much and that the children could eat it if they liked it.

At this time, Xu Yunfan asked Qin An to bring some bread to share, and Aunt Qin was too embarrassed to accept it.

She really wanted to refuse and let Qin An take the bread back and eat it himself, but when she saw the eager eyes of Dadan and the others, she couldn't say the words.

"Eat it. This is a gift from Xu. If we let An Ge'er take it back, that kid will say that we have a problem with him and won't let Da Dan and the others eat his food." Qin Mu had already seen through Xu Yunfan. That kid was used to talking like this.

Qin Er rubbed his son's head, who was drooling at the bread, with a mixture of amusement and heartache. "If you want to eat bread, you have to finish your meal first."

The bread in the small basket looked quite big, even bigger than steamed buns, but when Qin An picked it up, it was obvious from the degree of concavity that these breads were actually very soft and probably not very edible.

The Qin family called Qin An several times to eat with them, but Qin An shook his head and refused. He obediently broke corn kernels under the eaves and waited for Dadan and the others to eat.

Sandan, who was originally sleeping, woke up as soon as it was time for dinner. Qin Sanfu didn't even need to call him. As soon as he took the little guy out of the house, the little guy stood obediently beside the dining table.

Sandan was too short, and Mr. Qin San originally wanted to hold him while eating, but the little guy was stubborn and insisted on eating while standing by himself.

When they were at Xiao Qin's house, Xu Yunfan didn't care so much. Seeing that Sandan could sit steadily, Xu Yunfan directly pulled over a high stool for him to sit and eat. He didn't care even if the little guy's chin was stuck on the edge of the dining table, as long as it didn't get stuck in his neck and didn't hinder his eating.

As for whether they could pick up the food or not, Xu Yunfan didn't care. He just told the older ones to help.

Children, especially boys, should do things for themselves so that they can have enough food and clothing.

But at home, Sandan is a little darling. The Qin family loves him so much that they are afraid that he will fall down if he can't sit steadily.

Qin An couldn't help but think deeply when he saw Qin San trying to pick up Sandan several times.

Dadan and Erdan were thinking about eating bread, so they ate their rice much faster than before, taking big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Qin Er's wife couldn't help but say, "Slow down, be careful not to choke."

After a while, the rice in the two bowls was finished.

"Grandma and Grandpa, I'm full." Dadan wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Aunt Qin and Uncle Qin beside him.

Erdan followed suit, put down the bowl in his hand, and said, "I'm done too."

"Now that you're full, go play with Brother An." Grandma Qin said. Dadan and Erdan happily ran to the hall and sat down next to Qin An.

Erdan was very happy, "Brother An'an, we can eat bread now~"

"Yeah." Qin An didn't ask Erdan if he was full. When he saw Dadan coming over, he bent down and brought up a piece of bread.

Qin An did not forget to ask Dadan to call Xiaoshan over. Erdan took a bite of the bread and chewed it, and his little face immediately showed enjoyment.

The bread was so delicious that Dadan and Erdan didn’t eat it alone. Instead, they shared it with Aunt Qin, Uncle Qin and the others, and each of them had a bite.

Several adults wanted to refuse, but the child insisted on eating it together, so they took a bite.

This thing obviously doesn't have meat in it, but it tastes better than the meat buns sold in town.

Qin An pulled Sandan, who had eaten his fill, between his legs and tore off small pieces of his bread to feed him.

Xiao Qin's home.

Xu Yunfan got to eat the roasted sweet potatoes as he wished. He ate three of them at once and there was one left, which he planned to save for after dinner.

Qin Run and his friends had bread to eat after dinner, and he had sweet potatoes to eat after dinner, which was no worse than theirs.

Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious whether they are hot or cold.

After Qin Run finished washing the clothes, he was not idle either. He took a hoe from the backyard.

They went to the street today and bought some vegetable seeds, and he planned to plant them today.

"Want to plant some vegetables?" Xu Yunfan brushed off the dust on his hands from eating roasted sweet potatoes and walked into the yard. The scorching sun made Xu Yunfan squint his eyes. "Tell me how to plant some vegetables, I can help you."

The sun was still too strong, and Xu Yunfan had delicate skin and tender flesh. Qin Run couldn't bear to let him get sunburned. "No need. I plan to plant three ridges today. The sun is too strong. Go back quickly. Be careful not to get sunburned."

Xu Yunfan saw Qin Run sweating profusely from the heat, with the sweat slowly sliding down his temples and finally dripping from his chin. His sweaty face, slightly panting breath, and the tense muscles when he lifted the hoe made Qin Run look damn sexy.

In Xu Yunfan's opinion, Qin Run is not too muscular. Qin Run's figure is of golden proportion with broad shoulders and narrow waist. This is a normal and powerful body shape that men should have.

As a male, Xu Yunfan would seem a bit fake if he said he was not envious of such a figure.

Xu Yunfan's heartbeat had lost its usual rhythm. He looked away uncomfortably, touching his nose as if nothing had happened, his eyes darting left and right. "You're worried about me getting sunburned, but why aren't you afraid of yourself getting sunburned? Wouldn't you feel hot then?"

Qin Run is not made of steel. If you care about him so much, why don’t you care about himself?

Could it be that in his eyes, I am more important than himself?

Really, Qin Run likes him to this extent?

Blame him, really blame him, why would he be so charming?

Look how much Qin Run likes her.

Qin Run swung the hoe quickly and accurately. With one strike, he could dig up a large piece of soil. Then, with a tap of the hoe back, the soil would fall apart. "I'm used to it. When Uncle Fang and the others come back in the evening, I won't have time to be busy."

In the afternoon, Qin Run planned to harvest a few bags of corn and then come back to cook. His schedule was very tight and he had no time to grow vegetables. He could only turn the soil as soon as he had time.

The looser the soil, the better the vegetables will grow.

Xu Yunfan had nothing to do, so he walked back and forth under the eaves twice. Qin Run, who was turning the soil in the yard, was sweating profusely, and the sweat was like raindrops.

Besides, it’s so hot today. After a day’s work, how nice would it be to eat something cold?

Xu Yunfan suddenly envied himself for being able to eat cold drinks in the past.

At this time, around noon, Xu Yunfan was a man of action. Whatever he thought of, he would take action to do it.

"Qin Run, I want to go to town to buy some things. I forgot to buy them this morning." Xu Yunfan walked fast and could be back at two o'clock.

"Hmm?" Qin Run paused swinging his hoe. "What did you forget to buy? I'll go with you."

Xu Yunfan shook his head. "No need. I can go alone. Just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."

As if thinking of something, Xu Yunfan said again: "If you are worried and don't believe what I said before, then you can go with me."

"No."

Anyone would be unhappy if they were questioned.

Qin Run put down the hoe, walked quickly to Xu Yunfan, raised his sweaty face, and looked extremely anxious. "No, I don't doubt you. I believe what you say. Yunfan, please don't be angry, okay?"

Qin Run said the last sentence carefully, "Okay?", with a noticeable nervousness in his humble plea.

He was afraid that his questioning would make Xu Yunfan unhappy.

Qin Run was so overly fond of Xu Yunfan, but couldn't get a clear response, so he was always cautious and treading on thin ice when facing Xu Yunfan.

Xu Yunfan hated to see Qin Run like this the most. Love makes a person become humble and cautious in front of the person he likes, and he has to think twice before even saying a word. How torturous must such love be?

And, is this love?

Should this kind of liking be called liking?

In Xu Yunfan's view, this kind of liking is nothing more than a disguised form of self-abuse.

Qin Run shouldn't be like this.

Even though he still couldn't figure out what his feelings were towards Qin Run, Xu Yunfan didn't want to see him like this.

Qin Run loves her so much, and no matter whether she likes him or not, Qin Run deserves to be treated well.

"I'm not angry, Qin Run. Can you wait for me at home? I'll be back in the afternoon. Just wait for me at home and I'll make you something delicious when I come back. How about that?"

Since Xu Yunfan said so, what else could Qin Run say?

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home. You have to come back soon." Qin Run couldn't go with him. When he sent Xu Yunfan to the gate of the courtyard, he watched Xu Yunfan leave, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Xu Yunfan walked for a while and looked back, and found Qin Run still standing in front of the bamboo fence gate, staring at him. Xu Yunfan couldn't help but think of the origin of the Husband-Waiting Stone.

"Qin Run, it's too hot. Go back to the house quickly. I'll be back in an hour." Xu Yunfan raised his straw hat and waved at Qin Run, signaling him to go in quickly and not stand at the door. It made him feel uncomfortable to see him like that.

Qin Run obeyed and turned back to the house reluctantly. It’s not that he looked back every three steps, but he did look back every three steps.

Xu Yunfan couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Qin Run was really reluctant to let him go. He was just going to the town for a while, but he made Qin Run treat him like this. He was almost crying.

Why……

Xu Yunfan touched his face, feeling extremely proud, and thought to himself, it seems that his face is too charming, and Qin Run is completely fascinated by it. But there is no way, being too handsome is also a kind of trouble.

Xu Yunfan walked proudly, his long legs, which were more than one meter long, walking so fast that it seemed as if the wind was blowing under his feet.

The midday sun was so scorching that Xu Yunfan was sweating profusely not long after going out.

He felt a little regretful. He should not have decided to go out on a whim.

In order to make Qin Run happy, he really went crazy.
