Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 42
“One, two, one, one, two, very good, Miao’er breathes at a constant speed, just keep your current speed.” Qi You ran upside down to face Miao’er and encouraged.
With a smile on Miao’er’s face, she met the teenager in front of her. She quickly stopped and ran more seriously.
Since her physical strength has improved a bit, now she and Brother You go out for a run every day, with sandbags tied on their legs and hands.
Brother You said that this can increase the strength of her hands and feet, making her punches more powerful in the future.
She doesn’t quite understand these, but she knows one thing, as long as Brother You said it must be right. Brother You will never harm her in this world.
Qi You looked at the small but extremely tough girl with a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Miao’er is really the most worry-free and labor-saving child he has ever brought.
Obedient, well-behaved, and particularly hard-working, not squeamish at all.
It’s just that this quality is reflected in the soldiers, which is naturally excellent. But on Miao’er, Qi You had a headache.
He really likes Miao’er (this specifically refers to the affection of older generations for younger generations, not the relationship between men and women), so he thinks more about her in the future.
Miao’er is very good. From a man’s point of view, Miao’er is not smart, but sensible, considerate, gentle and kind, she is simply a man’s ideal wife.
But from a woman’s point of view, Miao’er’s docile character is destined to be easy to accept, being bullied and wronged, but she will only knock down blood teeth and blood swallows.
Even if she now has a certain amount of force, this symptom has not improved, but she is more obedient to him.
Qi You is not a masochist, he naturally likes others to do things against him. But he hoped that Miao’er would have his own mind and independent personality, and he would say what he wanted, and reject what he didn’t want. Rather than just listen to him whether you like it or not.
He glanced at the serious-looking girl, and sighed.
Sure enough, independent personality or something, now it is really fantastic.
…
After half an hour, the load-bearing run ended, and Qi You slowly walked down the mountain with Miao’er.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky above his head, and suddenly blessed his soul: “Miao’er, how wide do you think the sky is?”
Miao’er looked up, then shook his head, “Brother You, Miao’er doesn’t know.”
Qi You: “But no matter where Miao’er is, you can see the sky above your head as soon as you look up, right.”
Miao’er nodded and gave a soft “um”.
Qi You: “Look, the world is so vast that no human can see it, just like the outside world, we who live on the mountain all day long cannot know it either.”
“Brother You.” Miao’er stopped suddenly, her face panicked, and there was obvious anxiety hidden in her eyes, “Are you going out again?”
Qi You didn’t answer directly, but instead asked her, “Does Miao’er want me to leave?”
“I…” Miao’er twisted a pair of small eyebrows and fell into entanglement.
After a long time, she made up her mind, and the strong man broke her wrist and said, “Brother You is a man of great talent, a dragon and a phoenix among people, and should not be buried in this green mountain.”
Qi You: “But in my heart, Miao’er has a tough personality, perseverance, and hard work. He shouldn’t be buried in this green hill, let alone be trapped by the stove.”
Miao’er’s heart was shaken, “Brother You, you…”
Qi You raised his head and sighed: “Look at Miao’er, how big the sky is. Birds soar in the sky. Even if you can’t see the end of it in your life, you can see as much as you can in your life. It’s not in vain.”
Miao’er lowered his head, pinched the corner of his clothes, and muttered to himself, “Brother You is an eagle, and he should fly to a high place by nature, and I’m just a little gray sparrow in the mountains.”
“But who said that a sparrow can’t become a phoenix.” Qi You said casually.
“Miao’er, don’t you want to see how prosperous the outside world is? Just like a sparrow, don’t you ever yearn for the scenery above the sky?” Qi You said a few softly, saying that Miao’er was confused.
She was a little panicked, feeling that what she said today was beyond her cognition, and blurted out in a hurry: “But if the sparrow flies too high, it will fall to pieces sooner or later.”
Qi You felt relieved, and it seemed that Miao’er still yearned for the outside.
He looked down at her with his hands on her shoulders, looked straight into her eyes, and coaxed in the gentlest tone of his life: “It doesn’t matter, no matter how high Miao’er flies, I will catch it below. You. You just need to look ahead, do you believe me?”
Miao’er was stunned for a long time, his eyes slowly reddened, and mist filled his eyes, “Brother You, don’t be so good to me.” Выхороши
Qi You: “Huh?”
She stepped forward and hugged Qi You, buried her head on his shoulder, and muffled: “I will be greedy, and I will want more in the future. I don’t want to become an insatiable person.”
Qi You hesitantly raised his hand and patted her on the back, and whispered, “It’s okay Miao’er, I don’t mind.”
But I mind. Miao’er closed his eyes and replied silently in his heart.
She eased for a while, suppressing the emotions in her heart, and then embarrassedly let go of the hand that was holding Qi You, and stepped back half a walk: “Brother You, it’s not early, let’s go back.”
Qi You: “Yeah.”
As the new year approached, Qi You sighed as he looked at the food stored at home. He really didn’t expect his own appetite to be so big.
Fortunately, the food was not eaten in vain, and his strength became stronger again.
Qi You felt that soon, he might become the second overlord of Chu, and he would be overwhelmed by the world.
Alright, okay, he knew he was a bit stinky, what a hero of Chu Overlord, incomparable.
On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, Qi You brought his family down the mountain.
They are going to buy new year goods.
Before going out, Qi You took out his men’s clothing and asked Qi’s mother to change her size to Miao’er.
Qi You: “Men’s wear saves trouble.”
Just a word, Miao’er did.
When I went down the mountain, the small pillar looked very lively, holding my sister’s hand, looking left and right, seeing everything was strange, and a pair of big eyes were not enough.
Qi You let him go. After entering the city gate, Jincheng didn’t have a few people because of the close of the year. Instead, people came and went, shouting everywhere.
Now let alone the small pillars, even Miao’er and Qi’s father and Qi’s mother couldn’t help looking around.
The magnificent buildings of the Feiyan Diao Pavilion are large enough to allow eight horses to drive side by side in the wide street, and the business is prosperous. There are also various vendors selling along the street.
There are also acrobatics performed in the street. The little monkey comes out to receive the reward. It is small, cute and very human. The little pillar couldn’t walk as he watched.
“Brother-in-law, that little monkey is so cute.” The child looked at the little monkey jumping around in the crowd with eyesight.
Perhaps hearing his voice, the little monkey hopped over, stretched out the small tray and handed it to the child. His dark eyes were blinking, as if to say, “Look at the officer, give me some reward.”
child:! !
Xiaozhuzi was excited when he left. He took Qi You’s hand and begged: “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, is it asking me for money? Brother-in-law.”
Qi You was funny and gave the child ten copper plates, and then the child happily changed hands and threw them into the tray.
The little monkey arched his hands in a decent way to express his gratitude.
But it makes the child so happy.
Miao’er on the side was distressed too. Ten copper plates are so gone.
Qi You patted her shoulder, smiled and shook his head.
After watching the acrobatics, Qi You took the family to the clothing store. This time Qi You negotiated the price in front of them.
“how much is this shirt?”
“The guests are really good-sighted. This dress is made by our best embroiderer in Jincheng. It has been made for a whole month every day and night. Our shop is operating at a low profit and only requires a dozen silver dollars.”
“Bought it.”
Father Qi and the others on the side gradually breathed a little bit faster, watching Qi You’s eyes hesitate to speak.
Qi You went to see a few other pieces again, “Where are these women’s clothes.”
“This azure long gauze skirt, this skirt is beautiful, look at the front embroidered with light blue silk thread slightly open, and then a ribbon of the same color is wrapped around the waist, is it particularly unique. The price is also very high. Just twelve taels of silver. And this long dark blue dress. Look at the cuffs with light blue silk threads embroidered with orchids of the same color, and then use silver threads to hook out a few clouds of auspicious clouds, and then the hem of the skirt Embroidered cloud pictures with light golden silk thread, it is very dignified and really suitable for the son’s mother. As the new year is approaching, we are all cheaper than usual. Such a set of dresses usually sells for thirty-two, today only I will charge you twenty taels.”
“Bought it.”
The chests of Qi’s father and others rose and fell rapidly.
Qi You went to look at the men’s clothing again, “Where are these clothes?”
“The son is tall, and this shop happens to have a black outfit. I think the son must be extraordinary in style.”
Qi You took a look, she looked pretty good, and she dressed up…
He thought of his hair again. One winter passed, and his hair did not grow much.
So just wear hard clothes honestly.
“How much?”
“It’s not expensive, it’s only twenty-five taels.”
Qi You thought it was good and bought it.
Father Qi and their faces flushed suspiciously.
Qi You picked a few more men’s suits, one size smaller than his body, mainly for Miao’er.
Then he estimated his father’s figure, and bought a few sets of strong suits and robes. I even bought several sets of small pillars.
A few hundred taels of silver went out like flowing water.
When leaving the garment shop, the shop owner’s face was full of joy.
Father Qi and the others have no expressions, looking at Qi You with a desperate expression.
Only the small pillar did not understand the concept of silver. He excitedly pulled Qi You and asked him where to go next. Qi You raised his eyebrows and said, “Go to the jewelry shop.”
Then Father Qi found that they were desperate too early.
At noon, Qi You deliberately chose the most magnificent restaurant in Jincheng, and of course, the most expensive restaurant, compared to the most expensive restaurant, also came.
When the dishes are on the table, they are truly delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
However, Father Qi and the others looked at a table of delicious dishes, but they couldn’t stop talking.
Such a table will cost 80 taels of food. How can this be a meal? It’s really a good time to eat.
Qi You didn’t care so much. Holding the chopsticks, he stretched out the chopsticks, and put the chopsticks into the bowl for his father, mother and sister Miao’er, and then it was his turn to start eating slowly.
“What are you doing in a daze? Eat it, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Father and Mother Qi:…
Miao’er:…
Qi You saw that they hadn’t moved, and sighed, “This dish is on the table. Whether you eat it or not, you will have to pay for it.”
Father Qi and the others stunned, yes, no matter whether they eat or not, they will be given the money.
No longer feeling emotional now, holding the chopsticks and starting to eat vegetables, it is bound to eat Ben back.
Looking at the posture of the wind and stubborn clouds, Qi You could not wait to cover his face, but fortunately he had the foresight to ask for a private room.
Qi You waited for them to eat for a while, barely padded his stomach, and coughed, “Eat slowly, the food here is good, and it’s more delicious to taste.”
Father Qi and their faces flushed, but fortunately there are no outsiders here, they also learned Qi You’s appearance and slowly slowed down.
Looking around the small pillar, one end of the chopsticks in his mouth, sucking sizzle.
Qi You turned his head, put a light on his strength, grabbed his little hand, and took one end of the chopsticks out of his mouth. And at the same time, he whispered in the voice of only two people: “You can damage your teeth if you bite your chopsticks. If your teeth are broken, you can’t eat. If you can’t eat, you won’t grow taller. If you don’t grow taller, you won’t be as powerful as your brother-in-law.”
Xiaozhuzi was shocked, and immediately took the chopsticks out of his mouth, and at the same time sat down obediently.
Qi You looked at it and nodded secretly, the teaching during this period of time was not in vain.
It’s just that he can rest assured to teach children, but Qi father and the others, he really can’t do that. Otherwise, they will lose face.
Qi You had no choice but to play an exemplary role. Even if you draw a gourd in the same way, you have to look different anyway.
