Raising children in an ancient county

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the courtyard of Qi's family was filled with the singing of robins and the sound of knocking on wooden furniture.

Qi Shuo wiped off his sweat, went to the stone table and poured a glass of water.This was prepared by Qiao Shen after frying the barley to brown in the morning, pouring it into clear water, boiling it and letting it cool. It was specially prepared for Qi Shuo to get rid of the heat. Neither of them had the habit of drinking tea.

In modern times, Mother Qiao especially liked to study delicious food in the kitchen to serve Qiao's father and son. In summer, she would make barley tea for him to drink.

After work, Qiao Shen went to take a nap, but his body was still weak, and he would be sleepy by then.Qi Shuo continued to work. He owed a lot of work to take care of Qiao Shen some time ago, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment.

In his sleep, Qiao Shen felt something pressing on his chest and lungs, as if he had returned to the time when he was lying in the intensive care unit, and the doctor gave him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Qiao Shen felt more and more difficult to breathe...

Little Chang Le sat on her father's chest, her little butt moved, her two little hands clasped her feet, and she looked innocently at the awakened Qiao Shen.

Qiao wiped his face deeply, exhaled, got up and left the room with Xiao Changle in his arms, "You use me as a trampoline? Daddy is going to be crushed to death by you, you know? Troublemaker?"

Sitting in the yard, the willows fluttering in the wind, Qiao Shen hugged Xiao Changle and blowing the natural fan, looking at the busy Qi Shuo, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, eating and sleeping well here, doing nothing, so Please talk to Qi Shuo.

"Brother Shuo is amazing, you have already done my nap time?"

Qi Shuo glanced at his husband, and pursed the corners of his mouth: "It's not finished yet. This is the last step. It's finished when it's polished and smooth. I'll send it to the bookstore in the afternoon. I steamed potatoes in the stove. Mat, I'll come back to cook dinner, there's still time."

People here generally eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and they either eat the leftovers from breakfast at noon, or they don’t eat at all. Wealthy families only arrange lunch specially.

"Going out? It's just that Xiao Chang is so hot that he can't sleep. I also want to take him out for a walk to cool off." Actually, it was Qiao Shen who wanted to go out for a walk. This dynasty did not appear in the history books that Qiao Shen read, and he also Quite curious.

Hearing Qiao Shen addressing us and opening his mouth just for the sake of his son, Qi Shuo was a little moved.While speeding up the movements of his hands, he responded: "Alright, after delivery, I will stop by Fumanlou for dinner. You haven't been there for a long time."

After finishing the last step, Qiao Shen watched Qi Shuo move the bookcase onto the cart. The tall man of nearly 1.9 meters lifted a large bookcase with ease.Qiao sighed enviously, take his time, God has given him a healthy body, he just needs to exercise slowly.

The two finished packing and locked the gate of the courtyard. Qiao Shen held Xiao Changle in his arms, and Qi Shuo pulled the cart. The young couple walked together to the most lively neighborhood in Dongshoulan Town.

Dongshoulan Town, referred to as Dongzhen for short, is where villagers from ten miles and eight townships go to market and sell goods.At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The doors of all street shops were wide open, and the goods for sale were complete. Occasionally, there were stalls propped up at the door of the shop.

Qi Shuo took the bookcase to the backyard of the bookstore to deliver the goods. After delivery, he left the cart in the backyard of the bookstore and said he would pick it up after dinner.The shopkeeper of the bookstore has a lot of contacts with Qi Shuo, sometimes the corners of the cabinets and chairs are missing, as long as it can be repaired, Qi Shuo will help to repair without saying a word, and does not charge money, the shopkeeper of the bookstore is grateful.

After leaving the academy, I saw Qiao Shen leading Xiao Changle to buy sugar figurines.Little Chang Le was just at the age when he couldn't be hugged, he couldn't walk steadily and he didn't want to be hugged, he couldn't be hugged when he was rushing to deliver the goods, and now he was finally let down.

Seeing his husband gently holding Xiao Changle, watching Xiao Changle pampering him fondly, Qi Shuo couldn't help but soften a corner of his heart.

"Finished?" Seeing Qi Shuo approaching, Qiao Shen hurriedly asked.

"Hmm... are you hungry?"

"Let's go shopping, I'm not hungry yet, let him finish eating the candy man." Little Changle couldn't stand still in one place, holding the little candy man, walking forward with limp steps go.

Qi Shuo walked beside Qiao Shen to protect him from pedestrians bumping into him.The two of them strolled along with Xiao Changle's slow pace.

Qiao Shen looked at the excitement on the street, and thought that this big week could be regarded as a prosperous country and a safe place for the people.Although there is no convenience like modern black technology, the people in the streets and alleys are self-sufficient, with food, drink, and entertainment. Although they are not advanced, they are well-equipped.People live contentedly, with smiles on their faces.

While strolling around, Xiao Changle couldn't move anymore, and grabbed Qiao Shen's leg and wanted to crawl into Qiao Shen's arms.Qiao Shen also finished digesting the porridge in the morning, so he picked up Xiao Changle and started looking for food.

"Let's eat a bowl of noodles. It's hot and I don't have an appetite for anything, so I want to drink some soup." Qiao Shen hugged Xiao Changle and pointed to the noodle stall in front of him. The fragrance can be smelled from a distance.

"You don't need to save, just eat whatever you want." Qiao Shen fell into the water earlier and spent a lot of money on medical treatment. After Qiao Shen woke up, he was not as spoiled as before, and Qi Shuo also wanted to reward Husband.The restaurant can't eat much money for just one meal, and it just needs to earn more.

"I really don't have an appetite. I haven't finished the pastries I bought this morning. Don't buy them next time." Qiao Shen still shook his head and took the lead towards the noodle stall.

He thought to himself that Qi Shuo was really a good man, and he worked hard to give Fu Lang a good life.Because of his original memory, Qiao Shen also knew that the two had no relationship at all, and that Qi Shuo was only driven by the responsibility of the head of the family.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shen was a little moved.If Father Qiao, the head of the Qiao family, hadn't suffered from a family-inherited cancer, Qiao Shen could be said to be the happiest second-generation jeweler in the world. His father is powerful and takes care of the family, and his mother loves her husband and children wholeheartedly.

I hate this family-inherited cancer, so Qiao Shen can only lie on the hospital bed, read books all day long, watch TV dramas, and watch other people's daily life of raising babies on short video software most of all.Thinking of this, I said to Yuanyuan in my heart: Qiao Shen, you are not rare, I will cherish it.

Sitting down, I ordered two bowls of beef noodles. Looking at Qi Shuo's size, I thought he might have a big appetite, so I ordered another bowl and asked the store to cook it into a clear soup, so that the noodles would be softer and rotten.

This noodle stall is really delicious without modern heavy seasoning.But the strong and fragrant big bone soup, sesame oil and sauce salt served with chopped green onion, the smell made Qiao Shen's appetite whet.

Qiao Shen and Xiao Changle shared a bowl of plain noodles, and now he has the same stomach as Xiao Changle.One meal is small, but he has to eat many meals a day, as long as his son is not hungry, Qi Shuo is used to it.

Qi Shuo quickly finished two bowls of noodles. Qiao Shen fed Xiao Changle well. Xiao Changle couldn't sit still when his stomach was full. Qi Shuo saw that Xiao Changle started to waste food. He reached out and hugged Xiao Chang Le's bulging belly, but he didn't want to eat it.

Qiao Shen, who was relaxed here, concentrated on eating the noodles. After a bowl of noodles, he was [-]% full, but Qiao Shen didn't plan to eat any more, his stomach couldn't bear it.The two settled the bill and were ready to go home.

Passing the oil and salt shop, Qiao Shen went in and bought some sauces and spices.He told Qi Shuo that he wanted to make some lo-mei when he went back. Qi Shuo asked Qiao Shen what ingredients he wanted, and led Qiao Shen to buy them all. There were many kinds of ingredients, even a lot of meat.

After shopping for the necessary supplies, Xiao Changle sat on the cart surrounded by a pile of ingredients bought by his father. His father pulled the cart, and his father supported him by his side. The family of three went back to the yard.

Qi Shuo filled the water tank with water, and went back to the yard to process the wood. Little Changle was placed in the basket in front of him, and the basket was filled with soft cloth. Make a small toy, break it east and west, and the wood will make a rattling sound. When you hear this sound, you will always be happy.Qi Shuo listened to Xiao Changle's soft laughter, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, doing his carpentry work.

In the kitchen, Qiao Shen scooped up the pork belly, pig's trotters and pork ribs.The cooking wine used by Qiao's mother in the past was rich in seasonings, but the conditions were limited. Qiao Shen recalled Qiao's mother's method, restarted the pot, added boiling water, added ginger and spring onion sauce, bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon and a little wine.After the water boiled, Qiao Shen put the meat in and simmered on low heat, washed the lotus root and eggs and put them in.

It's a pity that people here don't eat pig offal very much. Maybe it's too late. Next time, go early to see if you can buy pig intestines and lungs.Qiao Shen loves these stewed dishes the most, and Qiao's mother, who is good at cooking, makes Qiao Shen's mouth very tricky.
