Raising children in an ancient county

Qiyuan, Qiao Shen organized the items brought back from the village.With a few pancakes, fried vegetables, and a bowl of steamed egg custard for Xiao Changle alone, lunch was settled in this way.

After the meal, Qiao Shen began to make jelly and taro balls.

Boil a large pot of boiling water directly, pour it into a small water tank and let it cool for storage.I started another fire and steamed sweet potatoes and pumpkins in the pot. I sat in the yard and started digging jelly seeds. I took a small part of jelly seeds, and put the rest in a dustpan to dry and store.

He scooped up a pot of cool white leaves and wrapped the jelly seeds with clean gauze. Qiao Shen began to knead the jelly in the cool white open. After kneading out a certain concentration of jelly liquid, stir well, then filter it with another piece of gauze, and put it in a cool place Wait for it to slowly solidify.

Take out the steamed sweet potato and pumpkin and let it cool down. Add water to the pot and start cooking the red beans. Watch the red beans from time to time so that they cannot be boiled. After cooking, they should be fished out when they are still grainy.

Everything was ready, just waiting for jelly, so Qiao Shen took advantage of this time to take a nap.After playing with his father all morning, Xiao Changle was carried in by his father and fell asleep with him.

After surviving the most vicious heat at noon, Qiao Shen woke up.

The jelly has solidified and turned into a light yellow jelly.

Qiao Shen was holding a bowl with a layer of jelly on the bottom, red beans and yellow taro balls on top.Qiao Shen handed the bowl to Qi Shuo, and Qi Shuo took it after washing his hands. First, he scooped up the jelly with a spoon. It is full of elasticity, fragrant and chewy. After eating a bowl of jelly and taro balls, Qi Shuo only feels cool and refreshing, and the summer heat has been dissipated.

"It's really delicious. This succulent fruit is not sour at all." Qi Shuo looked at Qiao Shen with admiration and surprise. After waking up, the things Qiao Shen made were weird but amazing.

"This is a seed, not a fruit. Of course it won't be sour or bitter. Is it delicious?" Qiao was very happy, and he felt that he had seized the business opportunity.

He opened his mouth to remind again: "By the way, this will be called jelly seed from now on, and it is not allowed to be called Suli fruit. If it is concocted by others, our Changle's Shuxiu will be gone."

Qi Shuo helped Qiao Shen fix the jelly and taro balls on the trolley, and after trying it out, Qiao Shen pushed it out of the hospital safely.

"I'm leaving. I left a bowl for Chang Le in the cupboard. Remember to feed him when he wakes up." Qiao Shen closed the courtyard door and left.

Qiao Shen knocked on the door of Liu Yuan's courtyard: "Is Brother Xuan at home?"

"My brother-in-law is here... yo, this is you..." Li Lixuan opened the courtyard door, looked at Qiao Shen who was wearing a bamboo hat, and the small wooden cart he was pushing, and asked strangely.

"I made some sweets and I'm about to sell them. I pass by and give Yongyuan a bowl to try."

"Yongyuan, quickly bring a bowl, your uncle brought you delicious food." Li Lixuan called his son, and wanted to invite Qiao Shen to sit in the room.

"I won't go in, this thing is not easy to move." After Qiao Shen finished speaking, Yong Yuan came over to say hello with a bowl in his hand. Qiao Shen touched Yong Yuan's head, took the bowl and poured it full jelly and taro balls.

"Sell jelly, icy cold jelly..." Qiao Shen didn't feel embarrassed to make it too loud, and only yelled when passing by the gate of someone's courtyard.

In summer, when you hear the words 'bingbingliangliang', let alone children, adults can't help but open the courtyard door and come out to watch curiously.

Looking at the crystal clear jelly, isn't it like ice cubes in winter?Someone couldn't help but go back to the courtyard to get a bowl, so one bowl after another, the jelly and taro balls in two wooden barrels were quickly sold out.

Qiao Shen dragged the empty wooden cart with one hand, turned the money bag with the other, and went back to the yard contentedly.

Qi Shuo didn't expect Qiao Shen to come back so soon, so he stopped his carpentry work and walked over to help move the cart and unload the barrel.

As soon as Qiao Shen entered the yard, he threw something to Qi Shuo, sat down at the stone table and started counting copper coins.

The price of a bowl of three copper plates is indeed not expensive. The rice cakes that ordinary people often buy are one penny and one penny, and they are often bought for five yuan.

"For 69 copper coins, I sold 23 bowls!" Qiao Shen didn't expect that he just walked this alley and sold more than 20 bowls. The children satiate their hunger.

"Four trips a day, wouldn't that be worth two hundred coins?" Qiao Shen calculated. According to the sales volume, he would do more every day, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon, and walk the alleys near his home in one day. Earn a lot.

"Just don't be too tired, the money is not in a hurry, and there are still a few years before Chang Le will enter school." Qi Shuo was planing the wood, looking at the smiling Qiao Shen, thinking about this little money fan.

This night, Qiao Shen made some jelly before going to bed, because there was no refrigeration in the refrigerator, so the taro balls and red beans could only be cooked the next day.

Early the next morning, I had breakfast.

Qiao Shen continued to be busy with his sweets business, and Qi Shuo went to open a carpenter's shop, and the workbench in the backyard of the shop was fully equipped to facilitate his work.

In the morning, Qiao Shen was pushing a wooden cart in the relatively tidy residential alleys of Dongzhen. Little Changle was holding Qiao Shen's trouser leg in one hand and a fragrant braised chicken foot in the other. While eating, she accompanied her father to sell jelly.

"Sell jelly, ice cold jelly."

"Sell..." Xiao Changle shouted, but he couldn't keep up with the words after that, so he just kept selling and selling to cheer his father up.

After waking up from a nap, Qiao Shen packed up his things, picked up Xiao Changle who was still sleeping, and sent him to Liu Yuan. Brother Xuan took the child and put it next to Yongyuan. The two children slept soundly on the bed.

Qiao Shen went back to the yard and pushed the cart. This time, he went to the farthest alley to continue selling jelly. The last one was sold out. When he returned, he stopped by to pick up Xiao Changle. The sunset accompanied the father and son back home at a slow pace.

The days are repeated like this every day, Qiao Shen is busy every day, and he earns a lot of money.

In the evening, after Qiao Shen took a bath and poured out the dirty water, he went back to the wing room to clean up.Seeing Qi Shuo walk in, Qiao Shen asked, "Where's Chang Le?"

Qi Shuo looked at Qiao Shen, his long hair was draped behind him, and the tip of his hair was still dripping with water. The exposed skin was pink and tender after taking a bath. Qi Shuo's Adam's apple slid a bit: "I can't keep my eyes open when I eat dinner." Open your eyes, put it on the bed and fall asleep."

Qiao Shen said, Xiao Changle insisted on arguing and walking a long alley with him this afternoon, and he was really tired after thinking about it.After Qiao Shen packed up, he turned around and slammed into a hard embrace. At some point, Qi Shuo walked up behind him.

Qi Shuo's tall body hugged Qiao Shen from behind, lowered his head slightly, sniffed Qiao Shen's half-dried black hair, and whispered in Qiao Shen's ear, "Is it okay?"

The blood in Qiao Shen's whole body rushed to his ears, Qiao Shen's face was reddened by Qi Shuo's warm breath when he spoke, what should I do?

"I...I'm a little tired today...I'm going to sleep first." Qiao Shen broke away from Qi Shuo's embrace, and the next sentence was barely heard clearly.

Looking at Qiao Shen's fleeing figure, Qi Shuo pursed his lips.

After Qiao Shen lay down, his thoughts were in chaos.He can accept the family, he likes children, but he is not ready yet, is he really going to spend his whole life with Qi Shuo in this dynasty?

Qi Shuo is taciturn but reliable, loves children, is not as old-fashioned as the ancients, can go to the kitchen, can take the initiative to cook and wash dishes, and can make money, all the money he earns is handed over.The most important thing is that the three months of life with Qi Shuo made Qiao Shen very comfortable and free of pressure. Qiao Shen asked himself that he would like to live with Qi Shuo as a family.

However, Qi Shuo treated him like a husband and wife.

Joe turned over deeply, listening to the movement around him.I wonder if Qi Shuo is angry?What should we do?Qiao Shen has never been in a relationship. Although he said that he has never eaten pork and watched pigs running, but watching other people's sweet love in TV dramas, he can't even think about it while lying on the hospital bed.Qiao Shen didn't expect that one day, he would be able to skip the sweet love and live a life of raising children with children.

Qiao Shen turned over again, it was already dark, and Qi Shuo still didn't come in to sleep.What is he doing?With this question in mind, Qiao Shen went to the dream to find the answer.
