Chapter 12 I bought her cotton shoes



After three days, Chen Tan's injuries were all healed with the help of the spiritual spring water.

Qin Li still works during the day and works overtime until dawn before coming back.

That day, Chen Tan got up and found a whole big ham in the kitchen. Looking at the color of the pickled ham, he knew that the craftsmanship of the person who made the ham was not bad.

In addition, there was a large piece of fresh ribs with ribs, a pig's stomach, a plucked old hen, a skinned rabbit, a basket of shiny pork fat, a bundle of vermicelli, and two pairs of brown round-toed high-top thick woolen cotton shoes.

Looking at those things, Chen Tan fell into self-doubt. Could it be that I was wearing a fake version of a miserable era?

But in the original owner's memory, the Shen family and other families in the team were all unable to eat enough.

Eggs are a precious food that only boys can eat occasionally.

The original owner had never seen this kind of life in the Qin family anywhere else.

If the original owner had known that the Qin family was living such a good life, he probably would not have resisted.

Those who describe Qin Li as a devil will also send their daughters to him to lick his door.

Thinking that Qin Li would be back for dinner in an hour, Chen Tan first cooked the corn porridge, and then picked a few green onions, a basket of spinach and a handful of garlic sprouts in the backyard.

This morning she is going to make egg pancakes and spinach salad.

The meal was ready and Qin Qiuniang woke up.

Chen Tan didn't rush to put clothes on her, but gave her a full body massage first.

After the massage, the old lady put on her clothes and walked a few steps with the help of a cane. Even her cloudy eyes became much clearer.

Tears of surprise welled up in her eyes. "You have such a skillful hand. I really like you."

"I was forced to do this by them. I have gained experience over time," Chen Tan helped her out of the room.

"I massage my feet when my back hurts, rub my fingers when my child can't eat, and pinch my spine when he has a fever. Some of these are things I've learned on my own, and some I've heard from others."

The old people in the village all knew some of these massage techniques, so Qin Qiuniang didn't doubt anything.

Listening to Chen Tan's clear and logical words, her heart ached. She grabbed her hand and patted it, "Alas, you have gone through so much hardship to accumulate this experience. From now on, we will treat you well."

"Well, thank you grandma and big brother."

The two of them cleaned up and had just sat down at the kitchen table when Qin Li came back.

Looking at the porridge, side dishes and egg pancakes on the table, a happy smile flashed across his tough face.

Then I thought about what I said, "I will marry you off," and my heart felt inexplicably blocked.

He took out the two pairs of shoes and placed them in front of Shen Tan. "I bought them for you. Try them on and see if you can wear them."

"Ah?" Chen Tan looked at him in surprise, "I, I don't want it. I don't need it."

Qin Li stuffed the shoes into her arms, and said in a domineering tone, "Now you help me take care of my grandma, and I will take care of your food, clothing, and other necessities. You don't owe me anything."

He could see that this girl had a very strong sense of self-esteem and would rather suffer herself than owe others anything.

"Okay, thank you, big brother."

Chen Tan put aside his awkward feelings and just thought of it as him paying for his own nanny and nursing fees.

She carried the shoes to the bedroom; both pairs were size 37.

After she tried it on, it fit her perfectly.

Surprise flashed in her eyes again. How did he know her code number?

She put away one pair and came out wearing another pair, which were brown wool cotton shoes and very cold-resistant.

My feet felt warm as soon as I put them on.

She smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, brother. These shoes are very warm and fit my feet well."

"If you treat us as family, stop saying thank you and just sit down and eat."

Seeing that she liked it, Qin Li picked up the omelet with a happy look on his face and took a big bite.

"Yeah, okay." Chen Tan sat down obediently.

Qin Qiuniang picked up the chopsticks, picked up some spinach and put it into her mouth. After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, she looked at Chen Tan and said, "This pickled spinach is really good. It's fresh, tender, smooth and delicious."

Qin Qiuniang had few teeth left, so Chen Tan chopped the spinach into small pieces, which was just right for her to eat.

Qin Li also nodded, "It's indeed delicious, Grandma, your cooking skills have been passed down to someone else."

"If you don't object, I'll hand over the craftsmanship to Tan Nier," Qin Qiuniang looked at Qin Li, "Next time we go to the city, prepare all the seasonings."

"Well, we won't go to work until it snows." Qin Li replied.

"Take Tanier with you and buy her some new clothes."

"good."

Chen Tan, who was drinking porridge obediently, heard Qin Li agreed and his eyes sparkled.

She really wanted to go to the city and buy some rare herbal seeds.

When the two stopped talking, she asked, "Brother, grandma, how do you cook those meat dishes?"

"Have a simple lunch at noon. In the afternoon, boil the lard, chop the lard residue into small pieces, and make dumplings with vermicelli and pickled cabbage. Stew the old hen and pig stomach together, braise the rabbit, and stir-fry a few other vegetables. Cut the ribs into small pieces and marinate them to make bacon. If you don't understand, ask grandma."

Qin Li finished speaking in one breath, and then added, "Xiaozi and the others are coming over for dinner tonight, so I'll be back early."

The little girl probably hasn't cooked so many dishes to entertain guests, so he should come back early and cook them himself.

Chen Tan thought he asked her to make dinner earlier, so she nodded obediently, "Yeah."

After dinner, she read the "Hundred Family Surnames" to the old lady.

Seeing that she read correctly, the old lady led her to Qin Li's bedroom.

This was the first time Chen Tan came in after all these days. Qin Li’s room was different from the one they slept in.

There was no kang inside, only a black wooden bed with a large wardrobe near the head of the bed.

On the walls on both sides of the bed are layers of bookshelves filled with books.

Under the lower window is a simple large desk. In addition to books, there are also several bamboo pen holders and a pen holder for brushes.
