Chapter 38 Chapter 38 The little guy who can make candy is really amazing...
Qin An was used to peeling corn kernels. He held a corn cob in his palm, so with a hard rub, half of the kernels on the corn cob were removed.
Looking at myself again, I was breaking the text line by line, so naturally I was not as fast as Qin An.
It was getting late, so Xu Yunfan carried three baskets of corn to the backyard. Qin Run wanted to eat them, but Xu Yunfan refused to give them to him.
Qin Run was puzzled. Xu Yunfan had been acting strangely these past two days, refusing to let him do any heavy work.
If he hadn't insisted on carrying the backpack when going to town this morning, Xu Yunfan wouldn't have let him carry it.
"Yunfan, these are very light, I can do it."
Xu Yunfan turned sideways to avoid Qin Run's outstretched hand. "I know. Let's wait until your relatives leave. It's not advisable to overwork. I can do these. In the future, when your relatives come, don't do such heavy work."
Qin Run was completely confused. "Relatives? Where do I even have relatives? And why can I only do heavy work after my relatives are gone?"
Xu Yunfan realized that Qin Run wouldn't understand what he was talking about, so he changed his words and said, "It's just...it's just my period. I can't overexert myself when I have my period."
"Huh?" Now it was Qin Run's turn to be surprised. He didn't understand why Xu Yunfan would have such an impression of him. "Don't you know?"
"Hmm? Know what?"
"It's just that us brothers are different from women. We don't have menstruation."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
No one told him, how could he know that his brother would not have his period?
"No, didn't you say that my brother could have children? Wasn't Sandan the son of Qin San's husband? Yesterday, I saw that his belly was big in the field."
Qin Run: "Brother, you can give birth to a child, but what does giving birth to a child have to do with menstruation?"
Xu Yunfan: “…”
It’s a big deal.
However, Qin Run might not understand these things if he explained them to him. "So, your brother didn't have his period? Then what happened to you yesterday? Your mood changed so much, and at night..."
Xu Yunfan originally wanted to say that he didn't want to sleep with me at night and let me stay alone in the empty room. But when these words came to his lips, he thought about their relationship and couldn't say them.
"I..." Qin Run hesitated, "Don't you like someone like Brother Zhao Feng?"
Xu Yunfan exclaimed in shock, "Which eye of yours saw that I like him like that? I should like girls."
Xu Yunfan wasn't too sure about liking girls. After all, from childhood to adulthood, he had never shown any special concern for any woman or man other than his family, let alone fallen in love with any of them.
But he thought he should like girls.
Qin Run remained silent when he heard this. Xu Yunfan saw that Qin Run looked hurt and sad, so he couldn't say anything else. He just silently carried the basket and walked towards the backyard.
Qin Run lit a candle and followed. After Xu Yunfan poured the corn out of the basket, Qin Run closed the door of the thatched house to prevent rats from entering.
While the two of them were busy, Qin An had already finished his bath. He was very considerate and fetched half a bucket of water to the bathroom, then used a ladle to scoop up a few more buckets of water to fill it up. When he saw Qin Run and the others coming back, he shouted, "Brother, I've fetched the bath water. You can take a bath now."
"Okay." Qin Run responded and turned back to the room to get clothes.
Xu Yunfan sat alone under the eaves, feeling a little confused.
For a moment, I was confused and couldn't sort out my thoughts.
He knew that Qin Run was interested in him and liked him, but he couldn't figure out what his feelings were towards Qin Run.
Seeing Qin Run sad, he would feel uncomfortable, and this discomfort was difficult to explain.
It seems bitter, painful, and even a little pervertedly happy.
Xu Yunfan felt that something might be wrong with him.
The time he spent with Qin Run was too short, so short that he would not fall in love with Qin Run because of her beauty.
But his heartache for Qin Run and other complex emotions are real.
It's so fucking annoying.
Xu Yunfan decided that no matter whether he liked women or men, he wanted to follow his heart. If he liked someone, then he liked them. No matter whether they were men or women, as long as he liked them, gender was not a problem.
After figuring it out, Xu Yunfan's mood suddenly became clear. He shook his head happily, crossed his legs, clasped his hands behind his head, leaned on the wooden board, and swayed on his toes, looking quite comfortable.
"Brother~" Qin An suddenly came out of the room, squatted beside Xu Yunfan, supported his face with his hands, and looked at Xu Yunfan without blinking.
"Hey~" Xu Yunfan turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping yet? Is something wrong?"
Qin An asked, "How long does Gefu soak the wheat? Do we need to fish it out?"
Because he was thinking about this, Qin An, who was already lying in bed, got up again.
"No, wait until tomorrow morning to fish it out."
Qin An asked again, "Why did Gefu soak the wheat in water?"
Xu Yunfan smiled: "You and your brother like to eat sweet things. The candies sold in town are too expensive. Your brother Xu can't afford them for the time being, but he can still make them."
Qin An's eyes lit up, "Brother wants to make candy?"
"Yeah, Brother Xu made some candy for you and your older brother. How about it? Are you happy?"
"happy."
"Is Brother Xu okay?"
"Okay, Goff is the best."
Xu Yunfan was satisfied. He rubbed Qin An's head until his hair looked like a mess. "Our An'er is such a cutie. Brother Xu loves you so much."
When Qin Run came out, he just heard Xu Yunfan say that he wanted to make candy for them. He was so surprised that he almost dropped the bucket in his hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Yunfan, can you make candy? It's summer now, and we don't have beetroot. How are you going to make it?"
Xu Yunfan put down his legs and sat down, keeping it a secret. "Of course I have my own way. When the time comes, I'll make it for you and you'll know."
As he spoke, thinking that Qin Run would not return to his room to sleep with him, he deliberately warned Qin An, "Brother An, you can't tell anyone about this. Whether it's the candles made by Brother Xu or anything else, you can't tell outsiders. If they find out, seeing how smart and capable I am, they will definitely snatch me away, and then you won't be able to see Brother Xu anymore."
Qin An was immediately nervous and frightened when he heard this. He grabbed Xu Yunfan's arm tightly, as if Xu Yunfan would really be taken away if he let go. Tears welled up in his eyes with fear. "No, I don't want my brother-in-law to be taken away. I won't tell anyone else, not even Dadan or the others. Brother-in-law, please don't let anyone take you away. An'er and my eldest brother don't want to see your brother-in-law go."
"If you don't tell others, they won't know and take Brother Xu away. Don't be afraid, An'er." Xu Yunfan scared the child without feeling guilty at all.
Xu Yunfan didn't know that his casual threat made Qin An nervous. He was so scared that he didn't dare let Xu Yunfan sleep alone, fearing that his brother-in-law would be stolen in the middle of the night.
So, when Xu Yunfan came out of the shower and entered the room, Qin Run, who was accompanying him, followed him and entered the room with him.
Seeing this, Xu Yunfan sat beside the bed and asked knowingly, "Aren't you going to sleep with An Ge'er tonight?"
Qin Run was a little nervous and didn't dare to look at Xu Yunfan. "He was afraid and insisted that I sleep with you, fearing that you would be stolen in the middle of the night."
"Hahaha……"
Xu Yunfan laughed out loud, "I'm not a three-year-old child, who would dare to steal me in the middle of the night?"
Qin Run knew that Qin An was so scared because his house had been robbed several times and he had a trauma in his heart.
Xu Yunfan climbed onto the bed and lay on the inside, leaving the outside to Qin Run. He was tired all day and yawned as soon as he touched the bed. He patted the place beside him and beckoned Qin Run to come up quickly, "Come to bed, I'm sleepy."
Hearing this, Qin Run blew out the candle, walked to the bed in the faint moonlight, took off his shoes, and lay down on the outside very quietly, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand and fanning himself slowly.
It's almost August and it's really hot at night. Xu Yunfan is afraid of heat and hasn't slept well these past two nights. He is too lazy to fan himself and feels more energetic the more he fannes himself. Every time he wakes up, his body is sticky.
At this moment, Qin Run was fanning the wind. Xu Yunfan felt the chill and moved closer to Qin Run. In order to get more wind, he turned sideways and faced Qin Run. "Qin Run, why don't you sleep on your side too? This way, we can both get some wind."
Qin Run knew what Xu Yunfan meant, so he turned sideways and stretched his hand a little closer to him. The wind he blew almost entirely fell on Xu Yunfan, leaving himself untouched. "Go to sleep quickly. You've been tired all day."
Xu Yunfan nodded and fell asleep soon after.
Qin Run, however, suffered from insomnia.
Thinking about what Xu Yunfan said about making candy, Qin Run felt more and more that Xu Yunfan was not simple.
It’s no wonder that someone who can even make candy looks down on me.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Xu Yunfan really made sugar, as long as he was willing to go to the town to do business, Dali Village would not be able to hold him back.
Perhaps it can be said that Dali Village, and even the Xiao Qin family, are just the turning point where he first arrived.
He can leave anytime he wants.
Qin Run was thinking about something and fell asleep unknowingly.
In the middle of the night, Xu Yunfan was woken up several times by the heat. He was in a daze, humming a few times with a little dissatisfaction, frowning slightly, and hammering the side of the bed with his hand. Qin Run was even scared awake.
Seeing this, Qin Run picked up the palm-leaf fan beside him and started fanning him again. He put one hand on Xu Yunfan's back and patted it gently. Sure enough, the dazed Xu Yunfan felt the wind and fell asleep comfortably again.
The next day, Xu Yunfan was the last person to get up in the family as usual.
While Xu Yunfan was rinsing his mouth, Qin An had already returned with a basket full of pig food. Seeing Gefu brushing his teeth by the well, his eyes lit up, "Gefu, you're up~"
"Yeah." Xu Yunfan was a little embarrassed. "Our An Ge'er is really amazing. He picked so much pig grass so early in the morning."
Qin An said shyly: "No, An Ge'er didn't pick so much pig grass, it was a friend who helped me."
Xu Yunfan washed his face with a towel. "You went there again? It's so early in the morning, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid. I haven't been to that mountain yet, so I'm not afraid." When Qin An went there this morning, his little friend had already picked a small bunch of pig grass and was waiting for him.
