Since having Qiao'er, Li Qinzai has never slept peacefully.
Anyone who has children knows that sleeping in the same bed with children can make it difficult to get a full night's sleep.
Bedwetting, thirst, hunger, coughing, nightmares, etc. in the middle of the night can cause the child to cry for a while, and after he is satisfied, he has to be coaxed for a while before he can go back to sleep.
Qiao'er is sensible and has no other problems in the middle of the night. He doesn't cry or fuss, but he can't control bedwetting.
Li Qinzai found that the mattress was wet in the middle of the night, so he had to call the maid and take Qiao'er, who was still sleeping, aside. The maid put on a clean mattress, and the father and son continued to sleep.
After having a child, Li Qinzai realized that the sentence in the bloody line "I'll feed you a lot of shit and piss" was really not an exaggeration.
They slept until three o'clock in the morning before the father and son got up.
After dressing and washing, the maid brought breakfast.
Li Qinzai's living habits also affected Qiao'er. Today, Qiao'er, like Li Qinzai, eats three meals a day and drinks a bowl of goat's milk in the morning and evening. He cannot stop eating every day.
The unprocessed goat's milk tastes a bit tangy, and Qiao'er seemed to have been forced to commit suicide. She held the bowl with a tragic expression. After taking a sip, her face wrinkled up. After taking a deep breath, she took a second sip.
Drinking was so painful, but Li Qinzai showed no mercy.
Children are growing up, so they must drink no matter how difficult it is to drink. They must lay the foundation for their bodies when they are young, otherwise they will become sickly adults when they grow up. Do you really think the name of Mr. Kidney Deficiency sounds good?
Quietly taking a sip of the hot porridge, Li Qinzai suddenly said quietly: "You wet the bed again last night..."
Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, then said shamefully: "Yes, Qiao'er is wrong."
"I'm not asking you to admit your mistake. You're still young and it's normal for you to be unable to control your urine." Li Qinzai said calmly.
Qiao'er felt ashamed, silently took a sip of goat milk, and suddenly said: "Dad, did you wet the bed when you were a child?"
Li Qinzai smiled proudly: "For a wise and mighty man like my father, he has never wet the bed since he was eight years old."
Qiao'er counted on his fingers and said happily: "Qiao'er is only five years old and can still wet the bed for three years."
Li Qinzai said with a dark face: "There is no need to compare with this kind of thing. If you can control it, you should try to control it as much as possible..."
After speaking, Li Qinzai glanced at him sideways.
The little kid who can't control his urine actually learned to fall in love early, ugh!
He is a big man who can control his urine and has yellow urine, but he is still a single dog.
Why?
"Qiao'er, I heard from the housekeeper that you have a good relationship with a girl from the same village recently?" Li Qinzai asked Yan Yuese tentatively.
Qiao'er nodded unabashedly: "Dad, are you talking about the daughter of the Wei family? The child likes to play with her."
Li Qinzai blinked. "Like" and "like to play together" are two different concepts. They must be clarified.
"Why do you like to play with her?"
Qiao'er said without hesitation: "She gave me delicious food. Her mother made delicious flour pancakes. After baking, there were sesame seeds on top, which was very fragrant. The Wei family had a good harvest this year. She often baked flour pancakes at home, and every time she made them
They are divided into half of the child, so the child likes to play with her."
Li Qinzai coughed a few times. Listening to this, this guy has mastered the essence of eating soft rice?
The problem is, you are a child of a wealthy family, why are you going to eat the soft rice of a banker's family?
What's wrong with this world?
"What about you? After you ate the Wei family's cake, did you give anything in return?"
Qiao'er thought for a while and said: "Haier taught the children in Zhuangzi to recite "Hundred Family Surnames" and left Wei Nannan alone to recite it for a while. Wei Nannan learned faster than others, and her father even thanked the boy specially."
Oh, knowledge is exchanged for bread, it’s okay, it doesn’t mean you lose your self-esteem.
I don’t know how to characterize this relationship. The world of children is very simple, but Li Qinzai thinks it is too complicated.
"Okay, I will continue to play with her in the future, but please pay attention to safety..."
Li Qinzai stopped midway through his words.
What safety precautions should be taken by a five-year-old child? The prerequisite for safety is that you have to stay calm first.
The little kid's hair has not even grown, how can he stand still?
"Teaching her to endorse is not enough. In the future, if you have any delicious food at home, you should also give it to her and invite her to eat together. Friends should share it and not just eat for free. Only by reciprocating courtesy can the relationship last long." Li Qinzai warned.
Qiao'er nodded in understanding.
…………
The autumn wind is bleak and the sky is clear and clear.
After breakfast, Qiao'er continued to practice calligraphy in the yard. Li Qinzai asked his servants to get a long bamboo pole and a roll of long fishing line. There were some small bamboo holes stuck on the bamboo pole, and the fishing line was passed through the small bamboo holes.
Pass and tie a knot at the end.
Then ask the servants to get some lead, melt it and make it into a lead pendant. Find an unlucky goose, pluck out a goose feather, take the hollow part and connect it to the fishing line to make a float, and finally make a line.
wheel.
A fishing rod is completed.spanstyle>谷/spanstyle>
I dug the soil and got a small jar of earthworms, and then I took a handful of millet and soaked it in wine.
After a busy morning, in the afternoon, Li Qinzai walked excitedly to the Weihe River carrying a small horse and a fishing rod.
I chose a bay area where the water was calm, and when I threw a handful of millet, there was sudden movement in the water.
I have to be convinced by the ecological environment these days. There is no need to worry about the harm of pesticides to any food, and there are many wild animals, whether they are flying in the sky or swimming in the water, the number is very sufficient.
Unfolding the pony and sitting on the shore, Li Qinzai swung the fishing rod and then quietly waited on the shore for the fish to bite the hook.
Fishing requires patience, and what Li Qinzai lacks most is patience.
The years are so long. If you want to waste your years, how can you live without any patience?
Sitting alone on the shore, Li Qinzai even enjoyed the feeling of loneliness. It was a comfortable life with no one to talk to and no one to disturb him. There was no need for unnecessary social interactions or boring topics to chat with.
Green mountains and green waters, the whole person is integrated into the mountains, rivers and nature, and even his own temperament seems to have a somewhat ethereal flavor.
Li Qinzai breathed out a sigh of contentment. He just brought a bottle of wine and drank while fishing. What he wanted was this leisurely feeling.
Li Qinzai looked at the green mountains in the distance and was lost in thought. His thoughts were wandering to nowhere. The float on the water moved a few times, and the fishing line and fishing rod also swayed.
He glanced lazily at the float and saw that Li Qinzai had not moved. The fishing rod shook for a moment and then stopped moving. It was obvious that the fish bit the hook and struggled hard, then detached itself and escaped.
Li Qinzai didn't care. His purpose of sitting here was not to fish, but to enjoy solitude.
The lonelier the person is, the more sober he is. People can often think of many things in loneliness.
From Qiao'er's education issues to the future prospects of the Li family, he even thought about Li Zhi's lifespan and what plans the ambitious Empress Wu might have now.
There are too many and too complicated, Li Qinzai must think clearly.
Eating and waiting to die and being a salted fish does not mean that you really don't care about worldly affairs. If you want to live a good life of eating and waiting to die, you must maintain the current status quo of the Li family and yourself.
There were soft footsteps behind him, and Li Qinzai frowned. The beautiful atmosphere of loneliness was ruined, and he felt a little unhappy.
"Brother, can you sell me a fish?" The voice behind him was somewhat familiar.
Li Qinzai turned around, only to realize that it was Miss Cui.
Today, Cui Jie is still wearing a broken blue coarse cloth hairdress, her waterfall-like long hair is wrapped with a blue scarf, and she is carrying a small bamboo basket in her hand. There are some mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket, which have obviously just been picked from the mountainside.
.
Cui Jie also recognized Li Qinzai at this time, and couldn't help being surprised. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if she had encountered a man-eating beast. Her stunningly pretty face could not hide her panic.
"Why is it you?" Cui Jie blurted out.
Li Qinzai snorted: "Why can't it be me in my village?"
Cui Jie lowered her eyebrows, regained her composure, put down the bamboo basket, touched her forehead with her hands and saluted.
"Cui Jie meets Brother Li Shi."
"There's no need to salute. Anyway, you and I don't like each other. It's better to forget about each other. Next time we meet, we can treat them as strangers and just pass each other by." Li Qinzai said calmly, staring at the river.
Cui Jie gritted her teeth and said, "Cui Jie still has to thank Brother Li Shi for taking him in and concealing it. Cui Jie will definitely repay this kindness and virtue."
Li Qinzai clicked his tongue, turned to look at her, and said, "You look so poor. I really can't think of how you will repay me."
Cui Jie was silent for a moment and said: "I will work hard to earn more money..."
"So, you plan to repay me with money?" Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I'm not trying to hit you. Money is hard to get me excited. I wonder how much money you plan to spend to repay me?"
Cui Jie hesitated for a long time and said softly: "Brother Li Shi, just give me a certain amount, I will definitely earn it."
Li Qinzai shook his head and returned his gaze to the fishing rod on the river, as if every fishing rod was more attractive than her.
"Don't say whether I'm kind or not. I just did it casually. It's not easy for you to avoid this marriage. Like you, I don't like this marriage arranged by my elders."
"I took you in Zhuangzi to avoid the Cui family's spies because I was worried that if you were captured by the Cui family, we would have to get married."
"So, we don't owe each other, and taking you in is not a favor, but for myself. You don't have to take the so-called favor seriously, it doesn't happen at all."
Cui Jie said stubbornly: "What Brother Li Shi did for you is your business. Cong Shuang and I have indeed received your favor. We must remember the favor and repay it, otherwise we will be in vain."
Li Qinzai smiled, this girl is still stubborn.
The fishing rod was silent. Fishing also requires luck. Li Qinzai may not have good luck at the moment.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you something. Didn't you take money with you when you ran away from marriage? Don't you know that money is needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation outside? If you dare to run away from home without taking anything, who will give you money?
Your courage?"
Cui Jie's pretty face turned red instantly, she was shy and embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to tell the truth.
"I originally brought enough money, dozens of taels of silver cakes. I followed Shuang away from home and infiltrated into a caravan. Later, I found out that the Cui family was chasing our cavalry. I left the caravan in a hurry.
Hiding in the woods, the Cui family's cavalry escaped, but the money was forgotten in the caravan..."
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "You two are really... why do you go into the woods when something happens? You go into the woods to avoid the cavalry. The last time you were caught by my troops, you went into the woods too. Miss Cui, you and the woods
You are born with bad luck, so remember not to enter the woods in the future."
Cui Jie was also angry. After hearing this, she glared at him cautiously and said in a low voice: "I know."
