《[BL] Raising children in Ancient County Town》Chapter 4
Advertisement
The sky was getting bright, and the rooster had already crowed.
Qi Shuo opened his eyes, and a white tender hand pushed aside his shirt, rubbed it under his clothes, and touched his abdominal muscles. Turning his head to look at the man beside him, Qiao Shen opened his mouth slightly, sleeping soundly. Xiao Changle twisted into Qiao Shen's arms in a strange posture, and opened his small mouth, sleeping contentedly.
Qi Shuo gently took out Qiao Shen's hand, sat up, pulled the pillow down and surrounded Xiao Changle, and asked Qiao Shen to put his hand on the pillow. Seeing Qiao Shen squeezed the pillow unconsciously, Qi Shuo took a breath, put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
When Qiao Shen woke up, there was a regular sound of beating wood in the yard, which seemed to have been ringing for a long time. Xiao Changle slept soundly like a pig, pouting.
.Touching Xiao Changle's body, he slept warmly, but did not sweat, Qiao Shen relaxed, got up and put on his clothes, and surrounded Xiao Changle tightly with a pillow, leaving room for turning over.
The sun was already high outside, and Joe washed his face deeply and brushed his teeth with wicker dipped in salt. The congee was already cooked in the stove, and Qiao Shen boiled the leftover stew from last night and brought it out.
I eat in the yard in summer, comfortable and cool. After entering the room to see that Xiao Changle was still asleep, he greeted Qi Shuo, and the two of them finished breakfast in silence, leaving a copy for Xiao Changle to warm in the stove.
After breakfast, it's not too hot yet. Qiao thought deeply about washing the dirty clothes earlier, so that when Xiao Changle woke up, the mat on the bed could be taken out for the sun to sterilize.
.After Qi Shuo finished eating, he went to woodwork again. He watched Qiao Shen come out with his dirty clothes and fetched water from the well again. He still said, "I call Aunt Yang to take it and wash it. You rest and raise it. Body."
Aunt Yang is a woman in this small alley who washes clothes in exchange for silver. She is a widow. There is an old mother in poor health with a fifteen-year-old little Yangliu. Little Yangliu is a little brother. Fu Manlou works as a helper in the back kitchen.
"Summer clothes are not heavy, so I will come by myself. Are you going to go out today? Go to the shop?" Qiao Shen knew that the original owner was reckless and Qi Shuo was used to it, so the family didn't save money either. After falling into the water and seeing a doctor, it took a lot of money to raise the lungs. Since he woke up, he has been raising three or four meals a day. This money can't help but be spent. Of course, it can be saved.
"To go out, Master He from West Street wants to give Lao Zhangren a recliner. I will discuss with him instead of going to the shop.".Qi Shuo was relieved when he saw that Qiao Shen's cleaning was easy.

"I plan to sell some snacks and make some money." Qiao Shen hesitated, but still spoke, he was worried that Qi Shuo would not agree.
"Don't worry about the money, you just take care of yourself, I will open a shop right away, and I will earn the money." Seeing Qiao Shen start to take care of his family, Qi Shuo didn't want him to be too tired, and Yu was full of losses.
"Anyway, I'm idle every day. You are too busy every day. You don't have time to accompany Changle. The children need the company of their parents so that they can be mentally healthy.
Besides, Chang Le also likes to eat, he is so thin, I have to get him some delicious supplements. "Qiao Shen thought to himself: I blame you both, one is busy making money without home, and the other is busy spending money without home. Poor Xiao Changle is two years old, can't be called people, and can't keep up with nutrition.
."Furthermore, Chang Le is two years old, and when he is older, we have to save him enough money. Now that I am here, uh... I mean I wake up, I must let Chang Le learn knowledge. "In ancient times, there were only two ways out, either studying the imperial examination or joining the army on the battlefield.
The thin sunlight shone on Qi Shuo's face, his eyebrows were deep into his temples, his eyes were deep and the bridge of his nose was high.
Qi Shuo listened to Qiao Shen's endless ways of parenting, and Qiao Shen said that we want to raise our son in this way, and Qi Shuo was delighted in his heart. When he and Qiao Shen got married, they had no feelings in their hearts. Fu Lang was so lazy. When Qi Shuo came back every day, he was always at a loss. His words were always thorny, and he hated that he was not rich enough. .
He is a little bored of all this. .Until Qiao Shen gave birth to him a son, watching the newly-born Xiao Changle's pink and wrinkled little body gave him the unspeakable emotion of being a father. This blood relationship involved him and looked weak after giving birth. Qiao Shen, he put aside his boredom, worked harder, thinking about making more money to give Fulang's son a better life.
In fact, if Fu Lang didn't want to spend money to ask people to do things like that, they would still be very rich. Seeing Qi Shuo sympathize with his hard work with the youngest son, Qiao Shen went even more excessively, even failing to take good care of the youngest son.
Qi Shuo recalled that a month ago, the young boy was lying on the bed thinly. Because of his weakness, he cried like a kitten, and the doctors were very angry. They rebuked their husbands and their sons for treating their own children like this.
At that time, Qi Shuo felt miserable. Was he wrong because of his son's love for Qiao Shen?
."Wow...oh...oh...oh..." Xiao Changle's cry interrupted Qiao Shen's endless parenting plan and stopped Qi Shuo's memories.
Qiao Shen dried his hands and hurried into the room to take out the waking Xiao Changle. Xiao Changle just opened his eyes and couldn't see the adults, so he howled and demonstrated without shed tears.

Qi Shuo watched Qiao Shen pee Xiao Changle, hugged his son to sober up, and started feeding breakfast. Qi Shuo continued the action in his hand, nothing more, just give him another chance, his son is still young, as long as Qiao Shen can make his son grow up healthy, Qi Shuo can do more.
After feeding two bites, Qiao Shen coaxed Xiao Changle to grab a wooden spoon and scooped it up by himself, then let go of his hand and sat back to continue washing his clothes. Xiao Changle watched his father sitting beside him doing the laundry, eating breakfast comfortably, his appetite improved.
."Today I have to spend some money and buy more ingredients. I tried to make more. Liu Jiafulang took care of Changle a few days ago. I will prepare and send some to see the taste of the neighbourhood. If everyone likes it. I’ll try to sell it.” Qiao Shen didn’t dare to look at Qi Shuo after he finished speaking.
After thinking about it, Qiao Shen fought weakly: "Furthermore, I think Chang Le also likes to eat. I don't need to coax my appetite last night and this morning. I can take the initiative to eat myself."
"Look at it, just buy what you need, and earn more money." Qi Shuo calmly agreed. The taste is indeed good. He even wants his son to read and write, so let him try it. There is nothing left or right. bad thing.
After drying the clothes and bed sheets, Qiao counted the money deeply, and after putting the money bag in, he sneaked out the far door quietly. .Xiao Changle was full of food at this meeting, and Lai was held in his father's arms and paced in the yard.
He didn't even know that he was left behind by his father.
Qi Shuo accompanied Xiao Changle to play a game of tapping on the floor with a small wooden stick, and then let his son poke around the yard by himself, sit down and do his own wooden work, and watch Xiao Changle from time to time to see if he is safe. Staying under my eyelids, I bury my head and work hard again.
Qiao Shen went to the street, went to the butcher shop first, bought some pork belly, pork ribs, and saw some internal organs piled up in the corner.
"I want this pig into the water. How much will it cost?"
The butcher looked at the husband in surprise and said: "Is it all there?"
Seeing Qiao Shen nodded his head to make sure, the butcher directly pretended to be, and said, "It's not worth any money. Take it if you want it."
It turns out that everyone bought these internal organs to feed the dogs, and the neighbors in the street didn't even need to buy them.
.The butcher sees who buys a lot of meat, so he simply asks and delivers it. So Qiao Shen didn't spend any money and got pig intestine, pig lungs and pig heart for free.
Qiao Shen was embarrassed now, so he simply bought some pork fat and went back to boil the lard. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, pig fat is the most expensive, because the oil is expensive, so most people eat boiled vegetables, not much oily stir-fried vegetables.
After buying the meat, Qiao Shen went to the rice noodle shop.
I was surprised to find that there was starch at this time, so I bought starch and polished rice. Xiao Changle suffers from malnutrition, and he still nourishes his stomach with polished rice.
By the way, I bought some vegetarian dishes and old tofu dried tofu for braising, and bought spices and condiments, and then I went back home.
Xiao Changle was a little thirsty for playing, so he stuck to his father's side, grabbed his father's thigh, smiled softly with his head held up, and yelled with his mouth open.
.Qi Shuo put aside his work, and just wiped his hands, holding Xiao Changle's head quickly with his eyesight and hands.
It turned out that Xiao Changle's head had been raised for a long time, and he fell on the back of his father's feet, almost touching the ground.
Xiao Changle was not scared, but found it fun, haha happy. As soon as Qiao Shen entered the alley, he heard his soft voice and smiled. Qiao Shen quickly entered the courtyard gate and saw the two father and son sitting under the willow tree.
Qi Shuo took advantage of his son's coquettish invitation to accompany him, and simply stole a lazy rest for a while. At this moment, he was sitting comfortably on the recliner beside the stone table, holding a pu fan in one hand and gently fanning Xiao Changle.
Xiao Changle was holding a bowl and sipped cold and boiled, Qi Shuo looked at the cute appearance of the child, thinking in his heart, raising a child is really a tiring and satisfying job.
.Xiao Changle saw Qiao Shen, holding the bowl tossing, and swaying to Qiao Shen's feet with small, unstable steps.
There was not much cold and white left in the bowl, and he sprinkled it cleanly, and he still held the bowl to his dad with a silly smile.
"Awesome, we Chang Le will bring water to Daddy~" Qiao Shen handed the ingredients to Qi Shuo, who came to pick him up.
Taking the bowl held by Xiao Changle, he pretended to take a sip, and then held it back to Xiao Changle. The probe went over and kissed Xiao Changle's brain door.
Xiao Changle chuckled happily, holding the bowl with his head against Qiao Shen's calf and acting like a baby. Joe squatted down deeply, cooperating with Xiao Changle, stroking his thin body.
Satisfied with Xiao Changle's act of acting like a baby, Qiao Shen entered the stove and began to work. .Xiao Changle sat obediently on the small bench at the door of the stove. Qiao Shen was busy and guided Xiao Changle to speak. At the very least, he was called daddy and father, and he had to teach him how to learn

She was definitely beautiful even in her less than impressive rags. "Asadullah hardly makes such a generous offer." He said, liking the self-praise more than he wanted to admit. She shook her head - her dainty fingers wringing in her golden braid. Little Goldilocks. "Think again, little girl.
