Xiao Changle can already speak a lot of words now, and some simple expressions can also give a good approximation. To be more complicated, Qiao Shen even guessed, but there is no communication barrier.

As soon as Qiao Shen was free, he taught Xiao Changle to count. He can now count to ten with his fingers. He was lying in Qi Shuo's arms all day with stinky counts, holding Qi Shuo's big hand, and counting his father's fingers. head.

Qi Shuo stretched out two fingers, "Son, what is this?"

Xiao Changle looked at his father's hand earnestly, with a serious expression on his immature little face, and the adult could not control the upward movement of his mouth.

"Two." Xiao Changle said.

Qi Shuo had another seven, "What's this?"

.This time Xiao Changle stretched out his small claws, touched Qi Shuo's hand, breaking one by one, counting in his mouth, "Three...four...five...six...seven...seven... !"

Qi Shuo smiled and grabbed Xiao Changle's short and fat little fingers, and kissed his fingertips one by one, "So smart, my son is awesome."

Qi Shuo also went on the road and praised his son, making Xiao Chang happy.

...

That day, Qiao Ji Luwei attracted Qiao Shen's attention. There were three men in a row, but they ordered enough for six people.

It’s normal if you can’t finish the package, but obviously you can’t finish it, and they have to increase the amount. Qiao Shen couldn’t help being a little curious: "Several masters, although it’s winter, but if you buy too much, you can’t finish eating and it’s easy to go bad. It has gone bad and cannot be eaten."

."Not much, not much. It's not easy to come here. Shopkeeper Joe, you are a good craftsman. It's a pity that you are too far away from my home."

"This master lives?"

"Kaibao Town, even if you are driving in Xishoulan Town, it is more convenient for me, but it's a pity..."

"Treasurer Qiao is so delicious, why not open a restaurant in West Town? With this delicious food, you can make money."

It’s not that Qiao Shen didn’t think about opening a branch. It’s just that he didn’t know the locals and dragged his family with him. He never had time to investigate the plan. "You don’t know, it’s not that easy. I don’t go to West Town very often. Familiar with the local situation."

"Hazard, just ask in Shangxi Town. No one knows Qiao Ji Luwei. Shopkeeper Qiao is underestimating it. As long as you are interested, I can analyze it for you."

Qiao Shen had originally thought that it would be good if he listened to him.

.As a result, I didn't want to, and this matter actually ended up. The man was named Li Sanlang, and he opened a small noodle restaurant in West Town. By coincidence, he met, and a shop happened to be vacant. It was close, and he also knew the rent information of many shops.

The shop Li Sanlang told him is in the bustling market center of West Town. The rent is more expensive than that of his own in East Town, but it's worth it.

Qiao Shen was a little moved, and planned to discuss with Qi Shuo.

After busying for many days, I haven't been to the carpenter's shop for a long time. In the morning, Qi Shuo cooked porridge and ate it. After waking up Qiao Shen, he went to the carpenter's shop. Except for returning to the hospital at night, I didn't see each other much during the day.

Qiao Shen intends to deliver food at noon today, but he can't leave him alone.

Qiao Shen was shocked when he went to the craftsman's shop.

.The tea table in the lobby of the shop was moved to the corner, and an antique wooden bed was placed against the wall on the left, even with bedding, a wardrobe, a washstand, a dressing table, a desk...it can be a woman or a small desk for a while. Brother’s room can also be a man’s room.

In the middle is a simulation of the furnishings of a small hall, and on the far right of the shop is the tea table for receiving guests. Qi Shuo actually turned the shop into a modern furniture store.

"Brother Shuo, are you busy with this all these days?" Qiao Shen asked in surprise. He had to say that his shop looked more attractive than before. He wanted to move all this set of furniture home.

"That day you said that the model house reminded people of the life after living in, so I had an idea." Qi Shuo was also quite proud. Being a wood artist is his hobby, and he is willing to endure hardship to do what he likes. . ".It was done the day before yesterday, but you have to go to West Town and have a hard time on the road, so I didn't take you to see it. "

"It's so good, I want to move this bed back home, Shuo is really amazing!"

"This bed won't work. In the afternoon, He's government will send someone to move away, and all the money will be given." Master He just greeted Sanfang, and the wife of Sanfang wanted to live in the courtyard of He's house. How could the empty one live? But Mrs. Sanfang was being spoiled, making a fuss for a quiet yard, but the housekeeper had to agree, and hurriedly sent someone to find the carpenter to order the furniture.

Happened to catch up with the furniture store that Qi Shuo had just finished. The servants hurriedly led the owner, and immediately decided, the bed was moved back, and the others were made exactly the same in this shop.

Qiao Shen was so happy after hearing that, why is his husband so smart and capable? He didn't know yet, he was going to be the husband of the city lord of Qijia Furniture City soon.

.The carpenter’s shop changed its plaque. It is now called Qijiajia. It also hired a carpenter to work. This carpenter is considered his junior.

His master Xue Carpenter accepted a lot of apprentices, and some apprentices went back to open shops after completing their studies, such as Qi Shuo. Some apprentices stayed behind to make furniture to share, but there are still some who are far away from home and have no conditions to open a shop.

Anyway, after a mentorship, Carpenter Xue arranged this young apprentice Yang Mumu to Qi Shuo. It just so happened that Qi Shuo changed his business model, and lacked the steps of face-to-face customization. He didn't need to receive customers in the shop all the time. He simply accepted the juniors and helped with the shop. He just remembered to tell Qi Shuo what the customers bought.

Because of this comprehensive renovation, Qi's home furnishings instantly surpassed the turnover of Qiao Ji Luowei.

.Large households who have a lot of money don’t want to wait and move out after paying the money. Those who are willing to wait, pay less money and move out when they are ready.

There are too many people buying, but Qi Shuo is not tired, because it saves time, people see for themselves, and they will settle with Qi Shuo if they are fancy, and if they don’t fancy, they can make a few requests by pointing to the ready-made ones. Qi Shuo needs to listen to the long-form request.

From now on, after Qiao Shen counted Qiao Ji's money every night, he took Xiao Changle to count the money of Qi's home. Seeing the wealth of his family, Qiao Shen smiled every day in his dreams.

...

After explaining a few words with Yangliu and his younger brother at Kanpu, Qi Shuo hired a carriage and the family of three rushed to see the shop in Xizhen.

Qiao Shen sat in the carriage, stretched his legs, and the narrow space made Qiao Shen panicked.

.Qiao Shen looked at the thick and soft cushion, Xiao Changle slept sweetly, reached out to help him stretch the little quilt, opened the driving curtain and sat beside Qi Shuo, "How far is it?"

"Alright, after passing this forest, you can see the West Town Wall Gate. Are you tired?" Qi Shuo reached out and hugged Qiao Shen, squeezing Qiao Shen's shoulder with his big hand.

Qiao Shen grabbed Qi Shuo-yong's cold hand and put it in his arms, "It's so cold, you go in and warm up, I look at the road, don't you need to hit it?" Seeing that Qi Shuo just held the reins, it seemed that He didn't use his horse whip much.

"It's not cold, just feel cold, and rest again when it comes. You go in quickly, don't freeze it." Qi Shuo knew that Qiao Shen was afraid of cold.

"I can't stretch my legs inside, I'll sit outside with you." With so cold hands, Qiao felt distressed and put Qi Shuo's hand into his cotton jacket.

."Before, my master and I went to West Town. It was summer, and we didn't have money to hire a car, so we walked on foot. I remember that the sun was so hot that I fainted, and the master sat on the side of the road with his arms around me. When I was young, I only swear in my heart that I would never take this path again."

A little boy appeared in Qiao Shen's mind with chapped lips and pale face. He fainted on the side of the road with his eyes closed, feeling distressed: "What happened later?"

"The master fed me some water, and when the sun went down, I woke up and continued on the road in the dark." It was also unlucky to be unable to find the shop in front of the village, and there was no carriage passing by to offer a helping hand all afternoon.

Qi Shuo continued: "After I learned the craft, the master let me take the job, he only took 10% of me, and I let me take the rest to marry my wife."

"The master is so kind to you, we will go back to buy something this time and visit his old man.".Qiao thought deeply that he must thank his old man.

"Later, my family urged me to marry you. I was busy with the shop, thinking that when I was old, I agreed." Qi Shuo continued to think.

Qiao Shen inherited the memory of the original owner. He knew that the original owner and Qi Shuo had been married since they were young, and that their original parents had died of illness. Qi's father and Qi's mother were kind, so he wanted to marry Yuan in advance to take care of his friend's only son.

It's just that in the past, Qi Shuo had never mentioned this matter. Qiao Shen suppressed the surprise in his heart and quietly listened to Qi Shuo's memory.

"Who knows, life was so difficult after getting married. I felt that I didn't earn enough money to spend. When I went home every night, Chang Le was either crying or falling asleep dirty with tears." During that period, Qi Shuo He lives every day like years, but he is a man who can afford, and his father has always taught him that a man who is angry with his family is better to enter the palace and become an eunuch.

."The day Chang Le became seriously ill, my heart was like a knife, he was so young." His son's pale little face and weak breath still occasionally appear in Qi Shuo's nightmares.

"After you fell into the water that day, the doctor said to look at good luck and listen to God's will. At that moment, I was a little relieved..."

"Until, you're here..." Qi Shuo finished speaking, turning his head to meet Qiao Shen's gaze, and those eyes looked at him in shock.

Qi Shuo looked at himself and emphasized the word ‘you’, Qiao Shen understood it, and Qi Shuo found out...

"Are you... scared?" Qiao Shen stared at Qi Shuo's face, for fear of missing his expression a little bit, or for fear of seeing his expression of horror or disgust.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid of you being cautious after you wake up? Afraid of your gentle smile after waking up? Or afraid that you will be fat and healthy after you wake up?" How can you be afraid? .He is so in love, he wants to thank God loudly for his gift.

"Later, I fell in love with a man. My love was rising every day, but I was also afraid every day... He..." Qi Shuo took a deep breath, and then slowly and cautiously finished the rest of the words. : "Will he...will stay with me forever?"

Tears flowed down Qiao Shen's cheeks and fell on the back of Qi Shuo's hand. In the cold winter, this tear was so hot.

"Yes." Qiao Shen didn't know why he was crying, and his heart was filled with warmth. "Yes, he will stay with you forever. He is already homeless. You gave him one. Home, he wants to raise Changle with you, marry Changle's daughter-in-law, and hold his grandson."

Qi Shuo turned to his side, hugged Qiao Shen, rubbed his chin against Qiao Shen who was buried in his arms, and stroked his back with a big hand.

.Qiao Shen was sobbing, Mom, did you see it? The son is now alive and healthy, and has a family who loves him. Mom, don't regret it. The son feels very happy
