"Ask your wife to make one more and I'll buy it."
A blush and shyness appeared on Song Che's elegant face.
Qin Li clenched his fist and hit Song Che on the chest, "Give me your jade hairpin, and I'll let the maid make it for you."
"You wish!" That was the birthday present he wanted to give to Meixiang.
"Stingy." Qin Li left with the tea.
At this moment at Qin Li's house, Fang Desheng talked about the valley, but did not mention Shang Yuantang.
Wei Xiao and Wu Xia, who were called by Chen Tan, looked sad.
Qin Qiuniang's expression was indifferent, and she kept saying, "It's better to lose money than to suffer disasters. From now on, we should all live an honest life and forget about the things in the mountains."
Fang Desheng said worriedly, "I'm afraid Qin Li won't be able to get through this. Please try to persuade him."
"Secretary Fang, don't mention it, I just can't get over it. All my family assets are gone, wuwu."
After Wei Xiao finished his low roar, he burst into tears.
Fortunately, he listened to his wife and brought back all the money and notes from the mountains.
Fang Desheng curled his lips in disdain, "Look at your lack of ability, crying over such a small thing, like a woman, you will never achieve anything great."
"If I can cry things back, I'm willing to be a woman too." After saying this, Wei Xiao cried even harder.
That was the money he used to support his wife and children. Now it's all gone. How could he not feel sad?
Chen Tan lowered her eyebrows, a look of guilt flashing across her face. She had no choice but to wait until she made money in the future and compensate them more.
"You're lucky to be alright," Wu Xia patted his back, comforting him. "Don't be sad. Let's work together to earn more work points. Why worry about not having a good life?"
Chen Tan supported Qin Qiuniang and gently persuaded him, "Third brother, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and more and more people will buy tea bran paste. After the spring plowing, you can go out and harvest more tea bran. We may not get rich, but it should be enough for us to eat and drink."
"Yes, we still have the tea bran paste. Don't be sad. Don't let Yu Jin and your father know about this, so that they won't worry too." Wu Xia wiped away her tears and coaxed her son.
Wei Xiao finally stopped crying, raised his head, and looked at Chen Tan with gratitude, "Sister Tan, thank you for your hard work in the future."
"Haha, it's not hard, it's not hard," Chen Tan said with a wry smile, "Let's keep this a secret from Brother Li for two days, and wait until the people in the mountain have withdrawn before we discuss it."
"Nier is right. Don't tell Qin Li for now." Qin Qiuniang nodded in agreement.
If he knew about this tonight, he would definitely go into the mountains. If he was caught by those people, his life would be over.
Wei Xiao nodded heavily, "I'll tell Brother Li tomorrow that I'm going into the mountains and ask him not to go."
"It's settled. Let's go back quickly and don't let Qin Li run into us."
Fang Desheng waved impatiently at Wei Xiao and Wu Xia, asking them to leave.
He also stood up and left.
Qin Qiuniang finally couldn't restrain herself anymore and sighed several times.
"That's fine, that's fine. The wealth is gone, the disaster is gone, and we will all be safe and sound from now on. That's fine, that's fine."
"Grandma, don't be sad. I still have a pair of skillful hands. I will take care of you."
Chen Tan shook his hand playfully, making Qin Qiuniang laugh out loud.
"From now on, you should persuade Qin Li more. He looks careless, but once he gets stuck in a rut, even eight oxen can't pull him back."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Tan helped the old lady to sleep, went to wash up, changed into sleeveless pajamas, and waited for Qin Li on his bed.
It was almost twelve o'clock when Qin Li returned home.
When he entered the room and found Chen Tan on the bed, he hurriedly washed up and got into bed. He found that she was not wearing autumn clothes. He jumped out of the bed and yelled with a red face, "You, what are you doing?"
"You dislike me, don't you?"
Chen Tan stared at him in a feigned anger and ordered, "Get on the bed and lie down!"
Qin Li suddenly softened, as if Chen Tan had not left last night. He had difficulty breathing, his eyes were burning, but he finally restrained himself.
He got on the bed but lay outside the quilt, holding Chen Tan in his arms along with the quilt, "We haven't gotten married yet, I can't touch you."
She was his treasure, and he would never defile her before marrying her.
"You are such a simple and lovely fool," Chen Tan stretched out his arms and hooked them around his neck. "Qin Li, you said you would agree to everything I want. Then can I ask you for three conditions? No matter what they are, you must satisfy them."
She really didn't expect that while the mantis was stalking the cicada, Shang Yuantang was lurking behind the scenes. If the matter was exposed, as long as Qin Li denied it and there was no physical evidence, he should be able to escape.
But she might not be able to escape Qin Li's suspicion.
If I had known this earlier, I would have just invited wild beasts to destroy the valley.
Qin Li imitated her and kissed her eyebrows, eyes and nose carefully.
"Three is too few. Thirty, no, three hundred. As long as Tan Tan asks, I will agree to it."
"You can't lie to me. From tomorrow on, you have to do whatever I say."
With tears in her eyes, Chen Tan took over the mantle and tortured him over and over again until his skin turned red and he whimpered and begged.
The next day, after Qin Qiuniang got up, she opened the door and glanced at the kitchen. She saw her tall grandson being hugged by the little girl from behind. The grandson was stirring eggs in his hands, but his head was tilted back and he and the little girl looked at each other affectionately.
Her eldest grandson kissed the little girl on her raised forehead, stirring the food with his chopsticks without noticing that she had gotten up.
She quietly closed the door again, lay back on the kang, and waited for them to call her.
In the kitchen, Chen Tan was wearing a pure white Dacron shirt that Qin Li bought for her, and a warm yellow round-neck sweater that she had knitted herself.
The sweater she wore borrowed the lazy, drooped-shoulder design that was popular in her previous life. It was wide and large, making her look even more petite.
The hair on her forehead was fixed to her head with a black clip, leaving two strands of dragon whiskers at the corners of her forehead, just right at the corners of her eyebrows.
She wrapped the black rubber band that tied her ponytail at the back with yellow cloth, and pinned a kitten's head made of yellow wool on it. She looked gentle and elegant, yet cute and romantic.
It is said that women dress up to please themselves. She would not dress like this in the past, but now she is willing to put in a little thought for Qin Li.
Qin Li also loved the way she looked, even though she hugged him from behind and made him feel hot all over.
I can't bear to see her leave.
Soon, the egg whites in the bowl were beaten into a milky white color. Chen Tan let go of him, stirred the egg whites into the batter, put it in a large ceramic bowl, and placed it in the bamboo steamer.
Qin Li just wanted to enjoy this sweet and wonderful time with his grandma before she got up.
He put the steamer on the stove and let the coals burn.
He closed the kitchen door, hugged her and kissed her violently again.
The cake was steamed and the two had had enough of fooling around. Chen Tan spread ground green tea powder instead of matcha powder on the cake and took out a small basket of strawberries.
The strawberries planted in the backyard have already borne fruit. The cantaloupes, watermelons, cucumbers, cowpeas, and green beans have also produced small fruits, which will be ready to eat in less than ten days.
Qin Li came to Qin Qiuniang's bedroom and saw her lying there with her clothes on. His ears turned red instantly.
"Grandma, the cake is ready, get up and try it."
