Raising children in an ancient county

After that day, Qiao Shen drank astragalus and ginseng chicken soup for a month, and his whole body became visibly fatter after drinking. The doctor stopped the tonic for him and told him not to get angry anymore.

And after that, Xiao Changle obviously calmed down a little. Qiao felt deeply distressed, but he couldn't help it. This is something a child must go through in his growth. Before, I could always try my best to make him happy.

Of course, after the birth of the second child, Xiao Changle returned to her previous lively and active, which is another story.

When Qiao Shen was seven months old, Mother Qi came to the town to help cook and take care of Qiao Shen.

"Little Qiaoer, I cut some fruit and pears, you can eat some." Mother Qi came over with a big bowl. When Mother Qi gave birth to the two brothers of the Qi family, she heard that apples were good to eat in the village, so she ate a lot. The babies born were tender and beautiful. As for the fact that they were not white later, that was also made by the sons themselves.

Qiao Shen was watching Xiao Changle write. Qi Shuo made a wooden board for him and put sand in it. The little wicker wrote and painted on it.

Little Changle can now write the Chinese character Daddy crookedly. Although Qiao Shen has taught him tens, he has no intention of teaching him to write Arabic numerals. He still follows the education here in ancient times. When the child is older, he will do it according to the situation. Educational adjustments.

Things are always reversed, and he is extremely cautious when dealing with children.

At this moment, Xiao Changle was drawing sand by himself, and Qiao Shen didn't stop him. His attention was distracted, and Qiao Shen also let him play first, and slowly guide him. He was not in a hurry. This place is not like the pressure of modern life. , he does not need to prematurely deprive the child of innocence.

Qiao Shen took the bowl, "Thank you mother, take a break, I've been busy all morning." Then he said to Xiao Changle: "Chang Le, grandma cut the fruit for you, come and thank grandma."

Little Changle is a full-fledged snack foodie, and when he heard the words, he stopped drawing sand, so he ran to grandma and let grandma hug him, "Thank you grandma!"

Xiao Chang Le ate a few pieces of apples, poked a piece of fruit, and moved it in front of her father. Xiao Shou touched Qiao Shen's stomach and said, "Sister, is it sweet?"

Feeling Xiao Changle's gentle touch, the doll in her stomach was summoned, and immediately rolled over in Qiao Shen's stomach.

Ever since Xiao Changle felt the fetal movement for the first time, he came to touch his belly from time to time, probably because of his brother's enthusiastic expectation, and the baby in his stomach also loves to interact with his brother through the belly.

The two children had a good time, but Qiao was deeply troubled. He could feel the little feet kicking against his ribs, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, my sister is tired, Chang Le, you can eat by yourself." Bar."

Chang Le stood between Qiao Shen's legs, supported his father's leg, raised his head and looked at his father with a pair of black and white, clear and bright eyes, pouted his small mouth, and then his father lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead. Hahaha.

After playing with Xiao Changle for a while, he went to the shop. Xiao Changle stayed at home. He was willing to cling to his grandma, because the old man loved him very much, and Qiao Shen had nothing to worry about about his own mother.

Yang Liu got engaged, he thought carefully about the two questions Qiao Shen said, and opened up his heart with Yang Mutou, and opened up his worries about his worries about his debts. After Yang Mutou came home, he had a relationship with Qi Senior brother borrowed money and told Yang Liu, you should pay the debt first, and if there is no debt, we will meet again, if you want, we will make an agreement.

Yang Liu was moved, and the two got along for a while, and he took the initiative to ask Yang Mutou to propose marriage.Qiao Shen mentioned that Yangliu was the steward of Qiao Ji's Lo-Mei, and recruited another helper for him, and the salary was changed to [-]% of the shop's monthly revenue.

At first, Yang Liu said that he couldn't bear it, but Qiao deeply believed that he was a godbrother, and said that this was an engagement gift from his elder brother, so Yang Liu couldn't refuse.

But Qiao Shen also felt guilty about what happened that day, and felt guilty towards him. He shouldn't be angry with Yang Liu, so he forced Yang Liu to agree, so Yang Liu's current salary changed from [-] Wen to [-] Wen. Mu Mu's wages are still high, but Yang Mutou earns a lot of money, which is calculated according to the work. If he takes more work, the two of them can live a comfortable life in the future.

Qiao Shen finished reading the ledger and asked Yang Liu, "Has the date been settled yet?"

Yang Liu was tidying up the table, she kept her hands on the table, and said in her mouth, "It's settled, the tenth day of the first lunar month next year, brother, you must come."

"It's still half a year away? I'm sure you'll come, and when the time comes, I'll roll you into bed with little Changle in my arms." A healthy and strong child will roll into your bed, implying an early birth of a precious son.

Yang Liu put the dishcloth back into the basin, happy in her heart, and said with a big smile: "That's a good relationship, and it will be soon in half a year. I will get along with him again, and Brother Mu also agrees. He said that he should save more money. Prepare the dowry."

Hearing what he said deeply, Qiao Shen felt a little sad. Thinking of Qi Shuo, he also longed to have a drink with Qi Shuo and have a bridal chamber.

Laughing at his own thoughts, Qiao deeply rubbed his belly, the child was about to be born, and felt that he was really hypocritical.

Qi Shuo went to the store in Xizhen to collect the bills, and he could only come back the next day. Qiao Shen was lying on the bed alone, feeling a little sleepless. He was used to Qi Shuo's embrace, and his back always felt a little cold, but his stomach was upright. , he was lying flat and uncomfortable.

Little Chang Le and his mother must have fallen asleep. Qiao Shen turned over, hugged the pillow, and gradually fell asleep.

In Xizhen, Qi Shuo had reconciled the accounts yesterday, and today he went to Qiaoxi Street, which is under construction.

Qiaoxi is indeed a bit off, but because the construction of Qiaoxi Street started, the street was cleared and paved, so many vendors set up noodle stalls and tea stalls here to earn money from the artisans.

It can be regarded as gradually gaining popularity. From a distance, the house has already taken shape. Qi Shuo greeted the craftsmen and walked to the shop under construction. When he got closer, the shop was empty and messy. The craftsmen said that it was about It will take half a year before Shop Street will be completed.

Qi Shuo walked around, and before leaving, he set up a tea stand for a day, and today the artisans can drink as much tea as they want, and then returned to the inn.

Before returning to East Town, he bought some high-quality honey, and his mother said that if Qiaoer drank a bowl of honey water every day, the labor would not be too painful.

When Qi Shuo arrived home, Qiao Shen and Mother Qi were making rice dumplings in the yard. That's right, it's the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow.

Hey.Artemisia argyi is fragrant, fragrant all over the house.

Peach branches are inserted on the gate, and when I go out, I look at Maierhuang.

Duanyang here, Duanyang there, Duanyang everywhere.

Qiao Shen chopped up salted duck egg yolk, mixed it with mung bean and glutinous rice to make stuffing, and sat in the courtyard with Mother Qi to make zongzi with the stuffing pot.

Mother Qi folded the zongzi shell and leaves into a bucket shape lightly, scooped out the glutinous rice, mung bean and egg yolk stuffing, and after compacting it with her hands, a triangular-shaped zongzi was wrapped.

Qiao was deeply surprised, he didn't even watch the meeting, and said with a smile: "Mother, how did you pack it? It's too easy."

Mother Qi smiled, and picked up another piece of rice dumpling shell leaf, "Just put the glutinous rice in one hand, and squeeze it tightly with the other hand, and then cover the gap. It doesn't have to be in my shape. You can eat it at home and eat it at home." Don't pay attention to those."

After thinking about it and afraid of wasting the food, he asked softly, "Qiaoer, have you ever eaten like this? Will it taste good if you mix it together?"

She has lived for so many years, and it is white glutinous rice dipped in sugar. She really can't imagine that salted egg yolk is mixed in it. If it is dipped in sugar, will it be delicious?

Qiao understood deeply, and was afraid that his mother would not be used to eating it, but after cooking everything, he had to steam it to let her know whether it was suitable for her taste. He planned to make some more white rice dumplings, so he said, "It's delicious. Brother Shuo loves salted egg yolk."

When Qi's mother heard that it was for her son, she stopped saying anything. The second child's family is capable, and the family is not only in the village, but even in the town. It is considered a rich family, but the sons are low-key, and she agrees , as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed.

On the left and right is to order glutinous rice and duck eggs, which is not a rare thing, as long as the son likes to eat it.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard what Qiao Shen said. After living for 28 years, Qi Shuo knew for the first time that he likes to eat salted egg yolk, so he walked towards the stone table in a funny way.

Qiao Shen heard the footsteps, and turned his head happily, "Are you back? Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

Qi Shuo put the package on the table, and squeezed Qiao Shen's face with one hand. Qiao Shen is now fatter than when he was not pregnant, and his whole body is more plump and joyful. Moreover, his skin is getting more and more plump when he is pregnant. The better it is, the smoother the hand feels, the smoother it is.

When Mother Qi saw this, the zongzi was almost finished. She carried the zongzi into the kitchen. The second child's family had a good relationship, and as a mother, she was happy to see it.

Qi Shuo sat on the chair that Mother Qi had vacated, held Qiao Shen's hand and said, "I'm not tired, but I'm a little hungry. What else is there to eat at home?"

Qiao Shen hurriedly stood up and went to the kitchen. It happened that Mother Qi also wanted to serve rice. He took it to Qi Shuo. He steamed mung bean rice at noon, and made steamed meat for Xiao Changle. Mother Qi fried a plate of tender pumpkin.

Qi Shuo sat at the stone table and began to fill his stomach, while showing Qiao Shen the package on the table, "I bought honey for you, if you are used to it, drink a bowl of water every day."

Qiao Shen opened the package and held the jar of honey. The smell was strong and sweet, and he couldn't wait to drink it. "Then I'll drink it in a bowl. Eat slowly, there are still some in the stove. "

Holding a bowl of honey water, Qiao Shen sat back beside Qiao Shen and took a sip. The taste was pure and sweet, "Try it, is it sweet?"

Qi Shuo took a sip from the bowl Qiao Shen fed him. He wasn't addicted to sweets at all, so he just thought about it, and replied, "Sweet, do you like it?"

As soon as Xiao Changle woke up and went out of the main room, he saw his father came back, sitting under the tree, he happily ran to his father, heard it halfway, and quickly answered: "Daddy, I want to drink too!"

Mother Qi looked at the family of three under the tree. While the son was eating, he turned his head and said something to Xiao Qiaoer. With his mouth wide open, he waited for his father to feed him with steamed meat.

Seeing how the family loved each other, Mother Qi went back to the stove to boil water.
