《[BL] Raising children in Ancient County Town》Chapter 18
Advertisement
Today is the Lunar New Year's Day, and the people eat fast food on this day, so Qi Shuo and Qiao Shen gave themselves this day off, and the shop will not open today.
When washing his face, the cold well water made Qiao Shen shiver, and after autumn, the temperature dropped quickly.
After washing, Qiao Shen learned Qi Shuo's movements and stood beside the willow tree, stretching his arms and kicking his legs to do morning exercises. Since opening the shop, Qiao Shen's workload has increased. This stretched, sour feeling made Qiao Shen bared.
Qi Shuo walked over to help squeeze Qiao Shen's shoulders, and then hugged Qiao Shen from behind. The two husbands cuddled with each other, enjoying the peace of a moment of no work and no children by their side.
"Please ask a helper to help move heavy objects and clean the shop. Chang Le loves to move more than before. I'm afraid you are too tired." Qi Shuo felt that the person in his arms became thinner and couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Alright, I plan to plan..Chang Le has gained a lot, and I can hardly hold it anymore. "Qiao leaned in Qi Shuo's arms deeply and relaxedly. It was a bit cold in the early autumn morning. Qi Shuo was like a personal stove, warming him all over.
"He has grown taller. Yesterday, I stood on my leg and gestured, and it's almost up to my thigh." Qi Shuo paused, then leaned into Qiao Shen's ear and said softly, "Thanks for your hard work, my Qiaoer."
Qiao Shen's ears irritated by the breath itchy, shrank his neck, and looked up at Qi Shuo. The latter looked at him tenderly, with handsome brows and thin lips slightly raised.
Qiao Shen leaned in and pecked Qi Shuo's chin, turned around in his arms, and hugged each other face to face. Qiao Shen's forehead was against Qi Shuo's neck, and Qi Shuo lowered his head and rubbed the top of his head.
.The two got in touch again, Qiao Shen went to prepare breakfast, Qi Shuo also went to pee Xiao Changle, after he had done the urine, Xiao Changle still wanted to sleep, Qi Shuo let him go to the stove and set Qiao Shen a fire went.
After breakfast, Qiao Shen and Qi Shuo planned to go to the cloth village to order some winter clothes. In the fall, the temperature was dropping rapidly.
A few days ago, Qi Mu used the newly harvested cotton to make a winter coat for Xiao Changle and sent it. Qiao Shen only realized that he had to prepare some thick clothes.

"It's going to be winter. Chang Le has grown a lot. I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it last year. Let's go buy clothes in the morning." Qiao Shen said to Qi Shuo, holding Xiao Changle's little cotton jacket.
"Okay, I will buy you a body too." Qi Shuo responded.
.Qiao Shen looked at what he was wearing, and then at Qi Shuo, because most of the clothes were made of coarse cloth, cotton and linen, and the black was washed a little bit white. I don't know how to sew clothes."
It's too difficult for Qiao Shen to make clothes. Qiao Shen doesn't plan to try. He doesn't want to be here, he is in the shop.
"If you don't know how to sew, you won't sew. My Qiaoer is so smart, and sewing clothes can bend your head." Qi Shuo walked over, tapped Qiao Shen's forehead with his finger, and said with a smile.
Qiao Shen felt very happy, taking advantage of today's rest, he went to order a few more sets, Xiao Changle's previous years were small, and the set sent by Qi Mu was definitely not enough.
The family came to the cloth house. They came to the cloth house last time, but the shopkeeper Xiuniang was not there, so they thought it was the first time.
.Xiu Niang saw Qi Shuo tall and handsome. Although Qiao Shen was thin, his skin was white and tender, and his complexion was excellent, and the baby in her arms was white and tender. She looked like a family, and she was rich and rich if she wanted to. The silver comes.
I hurriedly got close to greet him, and took a closer look. Isn't this the Qiao shopkeeper of Qiao Ji Luowei? Soon after it opened, the fame has spread all over Dongzhen.
She also heard that some dignitaries entertained guests at Fuman Restaurant and indicated that they want to eat the sauced duck with Qiao Ji's braised flavor. The restaurant had to buy it and put it on a plate. It was Fuman Restaurant. Ah, buy food from other homes and sell it on a plate. After this spread, the people praised Qiao Ji's lo-mei.
She herself bought and ate it out of curiosity, but she fell in love with it. She often sent her to help buy chicken feet.
."Isn't this the shopkeeper Qiao, rare guest, come here, sit inside, what color you like, I will let you sit down and choose..." Xiu Niang hurriedly poured tea.

"I'm tired, it's almost winter. I will make some winter clothes. Can you have some styles for the embroiderer?" Qiao Shen looked at the enthusiastic embroiderer and explained his needs.
"It depends on the ready-to-wear? Yes, then you follow me." Xiuniang showed Qiao Shen a few sets of winter clothes, Qiao Shen looked at the styles and chose two.
"You have a good eye, this style is simple and expensive, it matches you." After Xiuniang finished speaking, she asked Xiaobutou to get different colors of fabrics and asked Qiao Shen to choose.
In ancient times, people mostly liked the gray color in their daily wear because they had to do hard work, go to the ground, and so on. Qiao Shen ordered a navy blue for himself and Qi Shuo, and when he thought of the black and blue of a closet at home, they each ordered a cyan.
.Three sets were ordered for Xiao Changle, one set is red, one set is natural yellow, and one set is moon white. Qi Shuo didn't have any requests for this. Qiao Shen nodded and said okay what he bought, and finally just waited to pay the money.
There are not many people on the street, so I want to come here to spend the festival. So the family had nothing to go shopping, so they bought glutinous rice and waited back to the yard.
Qi Shuo carried a large stone mortar to grind glutinous rice flour at the door of the stove, and Qiao Shen mixed the stuffing in it. He can be regarded as understanding the customs of the Shangyuan Festival, which is actually making fast food cakes.
Blanch the wild shepherd's purse with boiling water, dry and let cool, chop it and stir together with the tofu mixture, make a filling, wrap it with glutinous rice, roll it into a ball, then put it in a pot and steam it. .
Qiao Shen cooked some red beans again, and when the red beans were slightly fried and still distinct, he picked them up and mixed them with sugar. The red beans and glutinous rice balls were ready, fried them until they were golden, and then they were picked up and served on the plate.
.The Xiayuan Festival is a festival that children like. You can eat a lot of fruits and foods called "Fuyu" after offering sacrifices.
To do this, place a ‘Zhaitian’ at the entrance of the courtyard, fold the red and green paper, and burn it after bowing to pray for blessings from the heavenly officials, forgiveness of sins by the local officials, and relief by the water officials.
Xiao Changle followed his father's way and bowed down on his knees.
After the ‘Zhai Tian’ was over, the family sat in the hall, sipping sweet-scented osmanthus wine and eating dumplings.
"Daddy... it's delicious..." Xiao Changle was so happy, glutinous rice was not easy to digest, Qiao Shen didn't make much dumplings for him, and he had eaten it today.
"Eat less, baby, this is made of glutinous rice, it's not easy to digest." Qiao Shen wiped his son's greasy mouth.
.Xiao Changle didn't let it rub, turned around and gnawed at the fruit, leaning in front of Qi Shuo, and curiously paddling his feet to look at the cup, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine smelled sweet, and he wanted to drink it too.
Qi Shuo dipped the sweet-scented osmanthus wine with a chopstick and made Xiao Changle lick it. Xiao Changle smashed his mouth and reached out to touch the cup.
"Don't give him a drink." Qiao Shen gave Qi Shuo a slasher.
Qi Shuo picked up the cup and drank it, giving Xiao Changle an empty cup, "It's no problem, just one drop."
The homemade sweet-scented osmanthus wine has a very low degree, and it's fine for Xiao Changle to lick it.
Xiao Changle smashed his little tongue, he didn't know what it was like, there was too little on the chopsticks, "Father, yes, yes!"
"No, you can only drink it when you grow up. Daddy will make you sweetened water." Qiao Shen refused for Qi Shuo.
"Well, hum... well..." Xiao Changle was about to hum again.
."Don't make trouble, if you do this, Daddy won't give you sugar water to drink."
"Wow...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Then you must not cry, one..."
"Woo..."
"two"
"Hiccup~" Xiao Changle quickly closed his wailing mouth, accidentally burped, and ate too much.
Qiao Shen chuckled, shaved his son's face with his fingers, and glanced at the smooth and tender little milk. Qi Shuo got up and went to make sugar water for his son.
