Raising children in an ancient county

It was already noon when Qiao Shen hurried to Qiaoxi Street.

On Qiaoxi Street, a huge sign was built, with the majestic words "Qiaoxi Street" written in three big characters. Standing on the street and looking inside, everything is brand new, clean and grand.

I got off the car at the intersection, and took Xiao Changle by the hand to go to my shop while shopping.At this time, there were already hawkers selling in twos and threes on the street, selling candied haws on their shoulders, and some set up a table to make candy figurines...

Because the shops were all negotiated and painted by the merchants before the establishment of the shops, the establishment is more grand than the lively streets and alleys of the east and west towns. The shops are spacious and the streets and roads are also wide.

Strolling to the destination, Qiao Ji's braised meat is in front of him, the fiery red plaque, smelling the hot stewed soup, the yellow font, and looking at the plates of braised pork placed in the screen window, greedy Just come up.

The shop on the left of Qiao Ji Lo-Mei is Qi Shuo's five Qi family homes. The first room is actually a children's toy room. The plaque is called Changle House. It is next to Qiao Ji Lo-Mei.

The pram inside is covered with cotton yarn, which looks soft and delicate; there is also a delicate recliner beside it, which is made according to the size of a child, which is small and exquisite; scooters, indoor swings, and baby walkers are filled with Small furniture and toys for children.

In Chang Le's room, the objects seem to be placed in a mess, but they are unexpectedly warm. People in the street are dumbfounded. How much does shopkeeper Qi love children?Made a house full of stuff for kids?

Although it hasn't opened yet, and the interior is still being arranged and cleaned, the merchants in Xizhen have already placed orders one after another. In Changle House, one is the same, and one set is coming!

The four shops in the back are more orderly.The first and second rooms are mahogany-colored furniture, and the whole shop is magenta, which is antique and fragrant. It is made of the local people's favorite wood, because the folk mahogany homonym is "flee", which means avoiding bad omens, and peach wood wards off evil spirits.

The third room is a dark brown study room, where some books are placed decently, inkstones are placed on the desks, and calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls. It is the most comfortable place for scholars. gentlemen.

The fourth room turned out to be the style of the daughter's boudoir, with toffee white wood and white furniture!Hang light red silk cloth.It seems that shopkeeper Qi is going to do all the business of his family's house.

The fifth room is relatively ordinary, and it is made of eucalyptus wood. The price is also the most affordable, but the wood used is durable.

Just these five Qi family residences attracted people from all over the place to watch, even gentlemen from other towns traveled thousands of miles to gain knowledge.Just relying on this Qi's home furnishing, it has given Qiaoxi a lot of popularity. Later, many people began to call Qiaoxi Home Furnishing Street, because there is nothing comparable to it. With such skill and brains, who can make even rarer objects than him?

As soon as Zhang Youfu saw Qiao Shen, he rushed to say hello, and then called someone to find shopkeeper Qi, and informed him that his husband was coming.

Qi Shuo also followed the movers to move large pieces of furniture and put them in the shop, so he suffered a lot and spent a lot of effort these days, and now he was sweating profusely, Qiao Shen felt distressed when he saw it , hurriedly wiped his sweat.

Little Chang Le didn't care if his father was sweating or not. He hadn't seen his father for seven or eight days. When his father wiped his father's sweat, he hugged his father's thigh and rubbed his forehead on his father's thigh in a coquettish manner. I dislike the sweaty smell of my father.

Qi Shuo and Ren Qiaoshen wiped off the sweat on his face, gently rubbed his son's hairy head with a big palm, and said to Fu Lang, "Go to Piaoxiang Restaurant to order some food. I'll come in the backyard to wash my face."

Qiao Shen turned his head and looked at Piaoxiang Restaurant, which was diagonally opposite the shop, nodded, looked back at Qi Shuo and said, "Okay, then I'll go there first, Chang Le, go with Daddy, your father will be here in a while. "

Seeing that Qiao Shen had gone far away, Qi Shuo turned his head and explained a few words to Yang Mutou, asking Yang Mutou to lead the porters to eat some meat and vegetables, and then went to the backyard to wash off the sweat stains on his upper body.

"When I left, was my sister okay? Didn't you make trouble?" Qi Shuo asked Qiao Shen while holding a chopstick of stewed beef for Xiao Changle.

Qiao Shen took a sip of the soup. Originally, he didn't order any soup. The first thing Qi Shuo did when he sat down was to ask Xiao Er to order bone soup. He couldn't stop him and swallowed the soup before he replied: "When we leave, mother Hold her in the house, she is still so young, she still doesn't recognize anyone, mother is happy to hold her."

Qi Shuo felt relieved when he heard the words, he felt a bit worried about his old father, "I came to Xizhen, and I haven't seen her for more than ten days." I don't know if my daughter didn't notice him, or if she was crying ?

"Then you can go back with me tomorrow. She has been lying on the bed for two days, her calves kept moving, she twisted her body, and she still twisted when you hugged her. Presumably she wanted to lie on your chest." Qiao didn't dare to sleep late at night. Take off your shirt, it will always be cold in the middle of the night, so I can only let my daughter lie down for a while, although the daughter is still dissatisfied, but Qi Shuo is not at home, there is no other way.

With meat stuffed in her mouth, Xiao Changle muttered, "At noon, my sister is lying on me!"

Qiao explained to Qi Shuo with a deep smile, "Chang Le slept at noon that day, I put my sister next to him, and my sister took a nap next to him."

Qi Shuo didn't see that picture, the older little Chang Le was squeezed by a small meat ball, the two of them were close to each other, sleeping soundly, the two little faces were like angels, looking at a The years are going well.It's a pity that there are no cameras in this era. This beauty can only be remembered in my mind forever, and I cannot share it with my husband...

After lunch, Xiao Changle entered Changle's house and lay down on a small rocking chair. Qiao Shen sat beside him and fanned him. Changle's house was the first shop to be tidied up, because it hadn't opened yet, but the door was open. It's wide open, Qiao Shen said that it can create momentum for the opening, and Qi Shuo just opened the shop and fiddled with it.

Someone read a plaque outside, "Chang... Le... House."

Little Chang Le opened his eyes wide in surprise. He is still illiterate, so he never knew what was written on the shop. When he heard it, he asked his father, "Daddy? Chang Le House? Is it Chang Le's house?"

Qiao pinched his son's fleshy face deeply, and said with a smile: "Yes, your father made you a house, do you like it?"

Xiao Chang Le nodded, but it's not surprising that Qi Yuan is full of toys made for him by his father.So I closed my eyes again and prepared to go to bed, still muttering: "Changle House, Changle..." It seemed that I found some terrible cycle, and kept repeating it, and gradually fell asleep.

Qi Shuo came to see their father and son from time to time, brought some fruit and tea, and always came to feed Qiao Shen. Qiao Shen rolled his eyes, thinking he was not fat enough?

Before the sun went down, everything was settled, Qi Shuo hugged his son and led his husband back to the inn.

On the morning of the opening, the waiters in each shop started cleaning and wiping the furniture early in the morning, in time to tidy up the shops before the opening ceremony at noon.

Qi Shuo was wearing a black robe with bright red hemming around the cuffs and neckline, low-key and extravagant, Xiao Changle was still dressed in bright red, like a baby girl, Qiao Shen was dressed in crescent white, and the clothes were embroidered with light yellow auspicious clouds patterns.

A family of three stood in front of the shop and thanked the folks for their support. Shopkeeper Qi was tall and handsome, with a restrained temperament. Shopkeeper Qiao was beautiful in appearance and calm in temperament. Their son was tender and noble.

After the firecrackers were fired, the local people went to the shop one after another, some were curious to watch, and some sincerely wanted to order.In each shop, the waiter introduces to the gentlemen, and the customers who have already taken a fancy are responsible for lining up, reporting information to the shopkeepers of each shop, and paying deposits.

Qi Shuo and Qiao Shen accompanied the familiar merchants, Xie Heli was talking, and Qi's house was the busiest in the entire Qiaoxi Street.

That night, Qi Shuo read the orders submitted by the shop stewards and made an estimate. In addition to the ten craftsmen hired by Xizhen and the [-] or [-] senior brothers of Dongzhen, it would take about three months before the order could be completed. Complete all orders.

When the money is collected, it is straightforward, but when I see the thick orders, I feel a little scared, but the work can always be done, and the money can make ghosts turn the millstones, and I can make money for everyone, but I can also catch up with work .

"A shop has two craftsmen. The shop has just opened, and people in and out of the street are very supportive. All the furniture on the list here, and all the wages of the people who make it are all raised by [-]%. The big guys are working hard, trying to catch up with the above date. It's ready and sent."

All the managers responded repeatedly, and Qi Shuo said again: "I will return to Dongzhen tomorrow, and I will send ten craftsmen over. You can take care of them, and you will share a share of the work. Money is indispensable. Don't be too tired. The business will be big in the future. This is when we need the most help..."

After making the arrangements, he took Qiao Shen to prepare for dinner. Qiao Shen didn't expect that the furniture store would be so busy when it opened. He also missed the good time to rush back to Dongzhen, so he simply stayed one more night. Shuo went back together.

……

My sister hasn't been hugged by my dad for two days!This night, she was full of milk, and her little butt was wiped clean, but she was still uncomfortable, twisting her body and moaning. After Qi's mother checked, she hugged and coaxed her distressedly.

The younger sister burst into tears, he wanted the familiar taste of his father, it was pitiful to see her, her little face was flushed from crying, and she opened her mouth wide to reveal the little red tongue inside, "Wow... ah... ah..."

Qi's mother's heart is broken, why is this little Qiao'er not coming back, it's getting dark, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow, pity her granddaughter who has just been full moon, don't cry, don't cry, grandma loves you.

Qi's father also felt distressed, sitting silently beside his daughter-in-law, holding a fan in one hand, bringing the coolness of the wind to his little granddaughter.

Seeing her little granddaughter crying non-stop, Qi's mother called the old man to go to work, "Go and get the clothes of the three of them from the second family, and I will wrap my sister..."

Qi's father hurried to fetch it, and put the clothes on the younger sister's body and legs. The younger sister gradually calmed down while blowing the wind from her grandpa, and fell asleep from the exhaustion.

At this time, Qiao Shen was hugging his son, curled up in Qi Shuo's arms, the family of three was sleeping soundly in the inn, not knowing how much his little daughter missed.
