Raising children in an ancient county

Chapter 33

Xiao Changle looked back at his father with despair in his eyes, he just liked his sister too much, but he made her cry.Qiao Shen walked over, supported her younger sister's soft body, put her on his shoulders, patted her immature back with one hand, rubbed little Chang Le's head, and comforted: "Chang Le Le, it's all right, my sister is just a little flatulent."

The younger sister who farted and scared herself to tears was still wronged, lying in her father's arms and coquettishly, Qiao Shen hugged him while walking and coaxed: "Sister, don't be afraid, my sister is too full. Daddy is here." , Daddy hug..."

The younger sister's small chest was pressed against the father's chest, feeling the vibrations from the father's words, and gradually calmed down. She was quite lazy in the first place, so she didn't bother to cry now.

After coaxing for a while, Qiao Shen sat down and put his sister in the crook of his arms. Little Changle squatted in front of his sister, stretched out his little finger to touch her little claw, and was grabbed by her.

Little Chang Le couldn't be more happy, smiling with big eyes, and smiling softly at his father, Qiao Shen couldn't help but reached out and touched his son's face.

The younger sister was holding her brother's little finger, pulling and waving it around, and Xiao Changle also followed her sister's movements, and the two children worked together.

……

Early the next morning, Qi Shuo got up and packed up, ready to go.

Although playing with a cradle, my sister doesn't sleep at night and cries when she lays down, so she always sleeps in the arms of her father or grandma, and she was in grandma's arms last night.Qi's mother always got up early, and when she heard her son getting up, she carried her younger sister to Qiao Shen's side. Qiao Shen picked her up, and her younger sister slept well, and was not awakened by a series of movements.

Before Qi Shuo went back to the house, Qiao Shen was still a little sleepy. He first kissed Qiao Shen and Xiao Changle on the cheeks. Looking at his sister's pink and tender face, he still didn't dare. He only held his daughter's little fist, After a kiss, he left the house.

Qiao Shen felt relieved when he heard Qi Shuo's soft closing of the door, and fell asleep again.

Qi's mother cleaned up the kitchen, went to the room, and saw that little Changle had woken up, was lying on Qiao Shen's chest, stretched out her head to look at her sister, she went in and carried little Changle out. Mencai asked, "Chang Le, are you hungry? Grandma made corn pancakes for you."

Little Chang Le wrapped her hands around grandma's neck, hummed softly, and said politely: "Thank you grandma, Chang Le loves grandma!"

Mother Qi went to the kitchen with her little grandson in her arms, she couldn't help but be happy, the child that little Qiaoer taught has a sweet mouth.

……

When Qi Shuo arrived at the craftsman's shop, Yang Mutou led the bodyguards, and six or seven carriages were full of goods. Before leaving, Yang Liu brought some sesame seed cakes and stewed meat that he had made early in the morning to see him off. With a nod of his head, he led Yang Liu to the corner.

Qi Shuo looked at his junior brother and his fiancé, feeling a little guilty.He arranged for Yang Mutou to go to the West Town to take care of it for a month, and take care of things in the West Town. After the West Town opened and stabilized, he would return to the East Town, so the young couple, the junior and the younger brother, would inevitably have to be separated for a month.

After Yang Mutou and Yang Liu had finished saying goodbye, Qi Shuo led the bodyguard and set off on the forest path. The bodyguards sang local folk songs, and a group of elders enjoyed themselves during the boring journey. Bold and carefree.

Because I was pulling wooden goods, I couldn't help but rush a little slower. When I arrived at Qiaoxi Street, it was already noon.

Fortunately, along the way, everyone shared the corn pancakes brought by shopkeeper Qi and the stewed pork brought by Manager Yang. The big guys were able to handle it, and worked together to unload the goods, filling five shops.

Qiao Shen's Qiao Ji Lo-Mei opened before, and Zhang Youfu just moved here from the shop borrowed by Young Master Lin.Qiaoxi Street has just been established, so there are not many pedestrians, but because Qiao Ji Lo Mei had accumulated a lot of customers when it first opened, and moved to Qiaoxi Street, the business is not too bad.

After unloading the furniture, Qi Shuo told the escort, please go to the restaurant for dinner.All of a sudden, everyone filled the empty restaurant to the brim, and the shopkeeper quickly added seats.

Zhang Youfu was also ordered by Qi Shuo to bring a lo mei to add meat to the big guys.The bodyguards thanked while eating, this shopkeeper Qi is good, unlike other gentlemen who look down on people who sell their strength and treat them as cattle messengers, and shopkeeper Qi is generous, they not only get wages, You don't have to pay for your own meals.

After the meal, Qi Shuo settled the bill for the escort and sent the escorts away.The juniors in Xizhen, who had been recruited a long time ago, finally got their jobs, and started in full swing, setting up the shop according to Manager Yang's instructions.

……

When Qiao Shen woke up, he felt the warm heat source on his waist. He got up, picked up his sister, and got out of bed.Walking into the yard, Qi's mother was washing clothes, and Xiao Changle sat obediently on the sand table and wrote her name.

Mother Qi saw that Qiao Shen was awake, washed and dried her hands, came to pick up her younger sister, and asked Qiao Shen to go to have breakfast quickly, "It's warm in the stove, go and have breakfast quickly, you can't be hungry until noon."

Qiao Shen was a little embarrassed, and slept until almost noon every day for a month, "Thank you mother, you wake up tomorrow and wake me up, I've been sleeping more and more lazily every day."

"Sleep if you can. My granddaughter is also able to sleep. In the morning, she groaned twice when she was hungry, and then fell asleep again after being hugged and fed. I will put you next to her, and she also slept soundly." Mother Qi looked at her granddaughter who was still sleeping in her arms, and gently patted her sister's small shoulder with her dry and warm hands.

"My sister goes to sleep after drinking the milk, and she doesn't make much fuss, which worries me." Isn't the baby supposed to be very fussy?Why was he born different?

"Damn, you gave birth to such a sensible little girl, what are you worried about? Girls are quieter than boys, and children only make trouble when they are uncomfortable. Our sister is a lucky one. She is comfortable all day long. How can you do this?" Daddy, you have to make trouble with her to make you happy."

Qiao deeply thought about it, and it was true that Qi's mother was careful when she brought up the child, and the younger sister didn't have to be hugged by him, but grandma was also very satisfied, so there were few unsatisfactory times, "Yes, when she was pregnant, she was very satisfied. Especially quiet."

Remembering that Qi's father will come to town to see his little granddaughter soon, he asked, "Did you set a date? When will you come?"

The farm work at home costs money and hired someone to do it. Qi’s father disagreed at first, thinking that it would be a waste of money, and it would not be easy for the second child’s family to make money. When I am capable, I want the two elders to rest and enjoy the family happiness with their grandchildren on their knees.

In addition, Qiao Shen gave birth to a daughter again, and he agreed for the sake of his granddaughter, but he was still in the village and wanted to bring some rare country things to his grandson and granddaughter, so he delayed again and again.

Mother Qi didn't know too well, the old man was also a person who didn't like to express, "It's probably soon, he can come by himself, and the boss can also drive him in a donkey cart, don't worry."

Qiao Shen nodded, gnawed on the corn tortillas, and walked to the side of Xiao Changle. At this moment, Xiao Changle was tired of writing and was scratching the sand with a willow stick.Qiao Shen reached out and rubbed his son's little head, and asked his son, "Do you want to listen to the story? Daddy will read it to you."

Qiao Shen bought a few enlightenment books, and now he is enlightening Xiao Changle on the Three Character Classic. He makes up a short story for each sentence, and Xiao Changle listens with great interest, but he can recite several sentences.

Little Changle put down the willow sticks, and ran to the house to get the Three Character Classic. He thought it was a storybook, and when he came back, he was hugged by his father and sat in his arms. While eating pancakes, his father told him story.

Fortunately, my sister is still young, she eats and sleeps all day, and she has a mother who can help her. Qiao Shen still wants to spend some time on her son. Now his son loves his sister very much, but as a parent, he can't Don't neglect the son just because the son is sensible and loves his sister. If things go on like this, it will be detrimental to Xiao Changle's psychological growth.

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and with the company of my younger sister, there must be Xiao Changle.

On the third day after Qi's father came to Qiyuan, Qiao Shen was going to Xizhen to start business. Especially early, I was afraid that my sister would make trouble with her father, so only father Qi was there to send someone out.

"Then let's go, Dad, you go back to the yard, I'll be back tomorrow." Qiao Shen led Xiao Changle out of the alley, this was the first time he went out after his younger sister was born.

Father Qi watched from behind, but there was no one there, so he went back to the courtyard, and just as he closed the courtyard door, he heard the cry of his little granddaughter.This is the first time my sister has cried so loudly, with a squeaky and tender voice, like a newborn bird, with her mouth wide open, tears streaming down her face, her little eyebrows are crying red took a slice.

Mother Qi put her on her shoulder, patted her lightly, and kept walking around, coaxing her all the time: "Oh... don't cry, my sister is good..."

The younger sister's soft and tender voice radiated so much energy that Mother Qi's ears were numb, and Father Qi was so distressed that he wanted to chase Qiao Shen back.

Qiao Shen naturally didn't hear his daughter's cry. If he did, he would immediately turn around and go back to the yard. When he took Xiao Changle with him, Xiao Changle was already a little older, so he could listen to him even if he was coaxed, unless he was feeling uncomfortable. , will not stop crying.

But the younger sister is really too small. When Qi Shuo was just born, his two big hands were so big, and now he is only as long as one of his forearms. The whole person is like a pink meatball. Qiao Shen could have a sore nose when he peed and cried.

Fortunately, Qi's mother asked Qi's father to warm up the goat's milk and fed it a few mouthfuls. The younger sister gradually stopped crying and sucked the milk spoon.Only then did the old couple breathe a sigh of relief, even if the younger sister fell asleep, Qi's mother didn't dare to let go, her father was not there, and she cried again, but her heart ached.
