Raising children in an ancient county

Recently, the Qi family home received a big order, all of which were for scooters.

Ever since Qi Shuo made a small skateboard toy for his son, little Changle has been skating and playing every day when he goes out, and he doesn't want adults to hug him anymore.

Then Qi Shuo made a scooter that was the same as the small skateboard, but several times bigger. One day, Yang Mutou used him to deliver the goods and came back, and told him that many people asked him on the way, and his delivery was not as good as the scooter. It's easy to walk and play.

On the second day, many merchants came to the door and paid deposits one after another. Even merchants in chain stores asked for dozens of quantities in one order.

Qiao Shen heard that Qi Shuo took some orders and made a lot of money, his happy eyes sparkled, "Great, it's almost Chinese New Year, buy more meat and go back to eat."

"Open it for a few more days, then close it and go back to the village." Seeing Qiao's obsessive look, Qi Shuo became proud of his craftsmanship.

"Okay, let's plan, buy something to take back?"

"Let's hire an ox cart. Although the ox cart is slow, it is stable. You should be more careful. I will buy whatever you want, but you just say what you want?" Qi Shuo now seems to regard Qiao Shen as a person who is about to give birth.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." It's not been three months yet, I'd better listen to Qi Shuo and be more careful.

……

Today was the day they went back to the village. After the sun came out at noon and it was not so cold, they packed up and prepared to ride the ox cart. Xiao Changle hugged his little skateboard, refusing to let it go.

"Chang Le, I'll just go back for a few days, and I'll be back after the new year. Are you good?" Qiao Shen was helpless. He had brought a lot of things with him, and Qi Shuo wouldn't let him even a small package. Let Qi Shuo carry all the things alone.

"No! Daddy, I want it!" Today Xiao Changle wore a bright red padded jacket with a circle of white fox fur around the neckline, with a chubby little face and a small chin buried in the fox fur. He pursed his mouth and kept saying no.

"Let him take it with him, go back to play with him, and stop pestering you." In fact, Qi Shuo knew that Xiao Changle was already very sensible, but he just leaned softly on Qiao Shen and acted coquettishly.

But he just wanted to be cautious, and he would find out that Joe was deeply pregnant because of his abdominal pain, and he was always worried about whether he hurt the child that day.

Fortunately, Qiao Shen never had abdominal pain anymore, and he still slept soundly, and his appetite was bigger than before. He would often wake up in the middle of the night and tell him that he was hungry. egg soup.

Seeing that Qiao Shen could eat and sleep all day long, he finally let go of his mind a little. It was a long journey back to the village today, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Xiao Changle listened to his father's promise to bring a skateboard, and relaxed his small eyebrows, his eyes were curved. He was holding the skateboard, pulling his father's trousers with one hand, padding his toes, stretching his neck and raising his head upwards. make up.

Qi Shuo then squatted down, measured his son's height, and then kissed his chin with his son's soft and fleshy mouth, Qi Shuo smiled.

Because Qiao Shen always loves to kiss little Changle, forehead, cheeks, small hands and feet, everything. Gradually, little Changle seems to realize that as long as he does something that his father thinks is good, his father will kiss him, and he has also learned to kiss him. Now, he felt that his father deserved a reward for his good deeds.

First he helped Qiao Shen into the bullock cart, Qi Shuo picked up little Changle and put him in, and told his son: "Be good, don't bother your father, if you can't sit still, call father, you understand?"

Little Changle blinked her big eyes, glanced at Qiao Shen's flat stomach, nodded her head, and shrunk her hands to express her cuteness.

Only then did Qi Shuo put down the curtain of the cart, sat outside and began to drive the ox cart.

In the harsh winter, the doors and windows of every household in Shouyun Village were tightly closed. The three of them drove the car back to Qi's house quietly.

Qi Shuo first carried Xiao Changle down, and asked him if he still remembered that this was the home of his grandparents?Little Chang Le stood at the door, turned his head to look at the fenced yard, and then suddenly shouted: "Grandma...grandma..."

Hearing his shout, Qi Shuo smiled and helped Qiao Shen down. As soon as Qiao Shen stepped on the ground, the courtyard door opened.

"Oh, it's my good grandson Chang Le, come on, grandma hugs..." Mother Qi picked up little Chang Le, showing the wrinkles around her eyes with a smile, "Do you miss grandma?"

Qi Shuo and Qiao Shen called out to their mothers in unison, and Mother Qi spoke to them: "You're back, didn't you get cold all the way? Come in and have a barbecue..."

Qiao Shen followed Qi's mother into the house, and Qi Shuo and his eldest brother moved the things on the cart together. There was a big brazier in the house, and they sat on the side, which was warm.

Mother Qi held Xiao Changle in her arms, missed her little grandson very much, and kept teasing him. Father Qi went to fetch sweet potatoes and peanuts, buried them in the brazier, and roasted them for Xiao Changle to eat.

After a while, Qi Shuo and the others entered the house, and the family sat around the brazier. Qi's father asked about the shop's business, and Qi's mother asked Qiao Shen if he had worked hard in the town.

When it was time to make dinner, Mother Qi stood up and asked everyone what they wanted to eat. She was going to make arrangements, so Qiao Shen had the nerve to sit still.

Seeing Mother Qi approaching the door, he quickly stood up, "Mother, I'll help you."

Hearing this, Qi Shuo held his hand, with a serious tone: "Sit down honestly while pregnant, I'll come."

Mother Qi hurriedly came back and asked, "I'm pregnant again? How long has it been?" She looked at Qiao Shen's flat stomach, which was really hard to see from the outside.

"More than two months, almost three months." Qiao said with a deep smile, lightly slapped Qi Shuo's hand, and dared to attack him just now.

Qi's mother told him to sit down quickly, "Sit down quickly, just be honest, wait a little longer, that's great, we Changle will have younger brothers and sisters."

Qi's mother went to cook, and Qi's father talked with them about the children's affairs, about the interesting things about the two brothers Qi Yan and Qi Shuo when they were young, Qiao Shen listened with great interest.

"The second child was stubborn when they were young. When they were disobedient, I beat the boss. The boss knew how to run and hide. When I hit the second child, the second child stood in front of me. He didn't admit his mistake, so he let me beat him."

Qiao Shen heard the words, and it came to mind.Little Qi Shuo pursed his lips, looking resentful about being beaten, he was overjoyed.

Father Qi went on to say: "If you hit him twice, I won't give up. If the boss runs away, I won't be able to hit him. I can still get angry with him. If the second son lets me hit him, I feel sorry for him. This kid is smart."

Qiao said with a deep smile: "Chang Le is quite like Brother Shuo. Sometimes he is very naughty. When I want to hit him, I raise my hands. He doesn't run or hide, but he is better than his father." Smart, he knows that he hugged me to admit his mistake, and said I was wrong with tears in his eyes, so I couldn't bear it..."

A few adults laughed happily in the room. After Xiao Changle warmed up, he played a small skateboard in the main room. After Qi Shuo said a few words to him, he narrowed the scope and only skated back and forth on the corner against the wall.

Chang Xi and Chang An ran out of the room and looked at his brother's toys curiously. Children are all playful, and the two of them are also a little eager to move.

Seeing this, Qiao Shen said, "Chang Le, how did Dad teach you that good things should be shared with friends, what are you going to do?"

Little Chang Le turned to look at his father, and then at his father's unsmiling face, then he obediently said to his brothers: "Brother, you play."

Chang Xi is older, and the Qi family's education has always been inclusive. He let his younger brother Chang An play first, and Chang An held the handle of the skateboard and just pushed the skateboard. He didn't know how to play yet.

Brother Qi actually dotes on his sons, but he only knows how to do farm work. He has never made any toys for the children since he was a child, let alone spent money on them.

Brother Qi walked over to support his son, letting him step on one foot and swipe under the other. Soon Chang An laughed, he likes to play this skateboard.

Chang Xi saw that his younger brother was having fun, but he had nothing to do, so he leaned in front of Qiao Shen, "Uncle..." Every time Qiao Shen came back, he would bring him and his younger brother a lot of delicious food. new clothes.

Qiao responded with a deep smile, touched Chang Xi's head, and asked him whether he likes sweet or salty, and asked Qi Shuo to bring him the pastry he had brought back.

Compared with skateboarding, snacks can be regarded as Chang Xi's favorite. He sat on the bench and ate cakes.

Little Chang Le didn't have to play any more. Seeing that Brother Xi was eating pastries, she leaned over and hugged Qiao Shen's leg: "Daddy, I want to eat..."

Qiao Shen put his warm hand into Xiao Changle's clothes, felt through the inner coat, and seeing that he wasn't sweating, he brought him a pastry to eat.

"Uncle... I want to eat too!" Chang An saw that the brothers were all running to eat, and the children liked to have fun, so they also came over and threw themselves on Qiao Shen as usual.

Qiao Shen reached out to catch him. Nine-year-old Chang An, a veritable primary school student, still had a little strength, so he leaned back in the chair.

"Changan, stand still! Uncle has a baby in his stomach, don't jump on him from now on!" Aunt Qi hurried over and mentioned her son.

"Uncle, is there a baby here?" Chang An asked, standing up straight and pointing at Qiao Shen's belly.

"Yes, does Chang An like younger brother or younger sister?" Qiao Shen asked softly.

"Sister!" Chang An finished answering, and then asked curiously, "Your stomach is so small, can he live there?"

After hearing what he said, the adults laughed one after another. Children's thinking is always so unique.

"You take out my sister, and my bed can be used by my sister." Chang An didn't understand what the adults were laughing at.

"He's still young, so he can't get out, you sleep by yourself." Qiao Shen couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't get out either.

After eating the cakes, the three children ran to the corner to play again. There is a lot of land in the countryside, so the Qi family's main house, yard, and even the side rooms are all built big.
