In ancient times, cotton cloth was a very expensive and luxurious thing for people from peasant families.
Before Li Jin asked the villagers to weave cloth, one piece cost 700 wen, and the dyeing cost went to the town, plus 200 wen.
And this cloth, the young man did not keep any of it for himself, but used it all for Li Jin to make a robe.
One is a single coat, which is perfect for this weather.
The other is to sew the cotton I bought last time into the jacket. He kept the rest to make clothes for the little bun.
As for the scraps at the corners, he plans to sew a few more purses and handkerchiefs. After all, this is cotton cloth, and it would be a pity to use it directly as a rag.
When Li Jin first arrived in ancient times, he had never experienced the winter here, so he just wanted to go to the tailor shop to buy cotton-padded clothes when it was cold.
But Qin Muwen was different. He was born and raised in ancient times. When his home was not broken down before, he would not worry so much.
But now that he has married Li Jin, he naturally has to do what a wife should do, which is to worry about her husband's well-being.
This is also the reason why Li Jin made Li Jin very soft-hearted and distressed for him. Qin Muwen was only seventeen years old, and he was clearly still a child, with a green face, and even his body had not developed for a long time.
But he was already working hard every day, and he was worrying about the whole family at a young age.
The teenager never talked about this, but when Li Jin came home every day, he could see that the yard was swept clean, and the desks in the study were also cleaned.
These tasks sounded simple and easy, but the accumulation of each piece made the young man busy for at least an hour.
Not to mention that he has to take care of the children, sew clothes, and cook with Li Jin's back.
Li Jin was an obstetrician before, and he had seen many girls with bad mentality after giving birth, so he also paid more attention to his husband.
If Qin Muwen could be a little more squeamish, he would also like it very much, after all, he is only a seventeen-year-old boy.
Thinking about when he was seventeen years old, his daily routine consisted of reading and playing football, so he would not worry about housework.
But Qin Muwen never said these things, he took it all as his responsibility, and never complained about being tired.
Even if Li Jin occasionally buys good things for the family, the young man always follows Li Jin and Xiao Baozi first, and he never fights.
Everything made Li Jin soft-hearted towards him.
When Li Jin returned home, Qin Muwen heard the sound and quickly came out of the house.
"A Jin, you are back."
Li Jin put down his things, looked at the red marks on the boy's neck, and said with a smile, "What's for lunch?"
Qin Muwen said, "fried minced pork with eggplant and noodles."
Since Li Jin rescued Shopkeeper Song's daughter-in-law and children, Shopkeeper Song brought him a fish and pork from time to time.
Naturally, Li Jin couldn't ask for it in vain, but shopkeeper Song's child fell ill again and again, and recently suffered from neonatal jaundice.
The performance of neonatal jaundice is that the face and neck are yellow and red, and in severe cases, it will appear in the limbs.
At that time, it was a high incidence of wind and cold in the town. Shopkeeper Song did not dare to carry the child to the hospital, but Li Jin went to the outpatient clinic for treatment.
Li Jin observed the child's palms and feet and other parts, and found that the color did not turn yellow. Moreover, the yellow on the face and neck is not dark yellow, but reddish in yellow.
He breathed a sigh of relief, that this was physiological jaundice and did not require adjuvant drug treatment.
Otherwise, Li Jin really doesn't know how to prescribe medicine.
He told Shopkeeper Song to hold the child in the sun more, not to breastfeed recently, and to replace it with rice cereal and goat milk, so that the child could eat more to promote excretion.
Sure enough, after more than ten days, the child's condition improved.
Shopkeeper Song came to thank him again.
Today's folk custom is that the elderly and children at home are sick, and once the doctor has diagnosed and cured, they must come to thank them.
But this time, Li Jin felt that he had done nothing. This kind of physiological jaundice, the child could have recovered by himself. So he resolutely confiscated shopkeeper Song's money.
It is precisely because of this that Shopkeeper Song would trouble Li Zhuzi to bring pork and the fish he wanted to Li Jin every three minutes.
When Li Jin was in Xinglintang before, he often used Li Zhuzi's ox cart to go back, and shopkeeper Song knew this.
Everything was brought to the house, and besides, the meat was not easy to preserve in August and September, so Li Jin accepted it with the flow of the boat.
Therefore, Qin Muwen can eat meat at least once a day, and Li Jin is very satisfied when he sees that his cheeks are gradually getting more meat.
Qin Muwen made steamed fish according to Li Jin's statement. He didn't understand why Li Jin rarely ate pork, but he couldn't do without eggs and fish.
That night, Qin Muwen brought the fish to the dinner table, became a little more daring, and asked, "A Jin, why don't you like pork?"
He was in Shangshu Mansion before, and his wife would occasionally order everyone in the mansion to fast for a month, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
But he has basically never eaten meat since he was married for two years, which made Qin Muwen realize that he actually likes meat very much.
Thinking back on it now, he felt a sense of a lifetime away from the pickles, porridge, and leftovers that he had spent day in and day out.
I don't know how I persisted.
When Li Jin was not curious about this, he heard him ask, and said directly: "How did you feel when you grabbed my back yesterday?"
Qin Muwen's face turned red. He, he didn't intend to grab A Jin, but his body was stimulated by waves, and A Jin didn't let him grab the bed, so he could only hold A Jin.
Qin Muwen didn't speak, and Li Jin repeated it deliberately: "Don't you like hugs?"
Qin Muwen was sincere in the bottom of his heart. He looked up at Li Jin's smile and nodded slowly, "I like it."
Li Jin's body has gradually grown into a real man, and his skin is covered with a layer of streamlined muscles, which is completely unobtrusive and extremely attractive.
Even Qin Muwen, who is completely unaware of his body, feels that he likes Li Jin very much now, everywhere.
Li Jin resisted the thought of pulling him into his arms and kissing, and explained succinctly: "Eating more pork will make soft meat, and eating fish and exercising can cultivate a body like your man."
Qin Muwen didn't know whether he was stimulated by the word 'you man' or by the meaning of the sentence.
He said, "Then if I eat more pork, will I gain weight?"
Li Jin pinched his face: "You are too thin now, and you eat so little every day, so naturally you won't gain weight."
As he said that, he sandwiched the stir-fried pork with green peppers made by the teenager, "Why don't I eat it too?"
Moreover, the young man has been busy for so long every day, and he will not gain weight.
Qin Muwen understood that if you eat a lot, you will gain weight. His dangling heart finally let go.
The days passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th.
During this period, Li Jin also read some of Chen Xiran's two books on getting started with paintings, and he also traced on paper like cats and tigers.
Not to mention, it's really useful. Although he doesn't understand the overall picture of painting, he can also paint simple flowers and trees.
Of course, this exercise was done on raw-edged paper. Even if the family had some savings, Li Jin was not so proud to use bamboo leaf paper to practice painting.
Qin Muwen has been held tenderly by Li Jin every one or two days recently, and he couldn't let go from the very beginning, but now he takes the initiative to hug him and wrap his arms around his neck without Li Jin's words.
It's just that the tip of the ear is still quietly red.
Because of Li Jin's strong yet gentle possession, Qin Muwen didn't like him as much as he did before, but he didn't dare to speak. He didn't dare to tell the truth until Li Jin asked him.
Now Qin Muwen will make some snacks in the afternoon, and take the initiative to bring it to Li Jin's study.
Qin Muwen is literate. He saw Li Jin reading a book and painting, and there were already a lot of brush and ink on the grass-yellow, rough-edged paper next to him.
He quietly put down the scallion-flavored meatloaf, not to disturb Li Jin's practice.
After going out, Qin Muwen covered the tip of his ears, thinking that Li Jin had forgotten that he wanted to paint for him.
Unexpectedly, Li Jin still remembers, and he actually wants to learn painting.
This realization made Qin Muwen extremely happy, and he took the initiative that night.
Li Jin was a little surprised, but the teenager's reaction in the past was to listen to his commands and actions. Now that he is so active, he almost couldn't help but do it one more time.
The next day is the Double Ninth Festival, a day when relatives and friends gather to pray for blessings.
Chongyang is the ninth day of the ninth month. In the Book of Changes, nine is the yang, and the two yangs are heavy together, which is the double yang. In the hearts of the ancients, this is a very auspicious festival.
Only their Hongyan Village is backed by the mountains around the town.
But the real way to climb the mountain has to go around the foot of the mountain and go to the east. The slope there is relatively gentle, and it is also suitable for young and old to walk together.
Climbing up for half an hour, there is still a large flat ground, suitable for the family to sit down and rest.
Mr. Song gave them another holiday to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. Chen Xiran couldn't help but be overjoyed.
But Mr. Song's next sentence almost made Chen Xiran cry: "The two-day holiday this month has been released, and the first two days of Mu Xiu will be cancelled."
Li Jin naturally has no objection. Now he does not need to take medicine or sit in a clinic. He just learns to practice calligraphy every day. If he can come to listen to Mr. Song's lecture, he will gain even more.
Seeing that Li Jin didn't speak, Chen Xiran could only agree with tears.
Early in the morning on Chongyang's day, Li Jin packed several diapers in his luggage, wrapped the small bun in a thick swaddle, and put on a hat from Chen Xiran.
The little bun is ignorant.
In the past, it was Dad who dressed him, why did he change to Dad today
But this obviously made him even happier, and he couldn't stop smiling at Li Jin.
When Qin Muwen got up, he subconsciously rubbed his waist.
Seeing this, Li Jin asked, "Back pain?"
Qin Muwen hurriedly shook his head. Today, the whole family is going to go out to climb high, so he can't drop the chain.
Besides, A Jin had obviously let him go yesterday.
As for the back pain, it's probably because he was too aggressive to hold his back...
This realization made Qin Muwen want to cover his face directly. He could only pretend that nothing happened, get out of bed, get dressed, wash, and prepare today's breakfast.
After the meal, Li Zhuzi came again and delivered half a bag of red beans.
"It was sent by your sister-in-law's family. I thought it was sweet and delicious, so I brought it to you."
Li Jin accepted it, and Li Zhuzi said, "I have a big family waiting to go up the mountain, so let's go first."
"Brother Zhuzi, be careful on the road."
Qin Muwen was washing dishes in the kitchen, looked at the red beans in Li Jin's hand, and froze for a moment: "Brother Zhuzi sent red beans to our family?"
Li Jin reacted for a while, then remembered that the ancient red beans symbolized love...
He thought that Qin Muwen's background should really be very good, otherwise, the moment he saw Hongdou, he wouldn't have reacted like this.
Li Jin said: "The people in the village are not so particular about it. They just want to make something delicious and give it to our family."
Seeing Qin Muwen relax, Li Jin suddenly became tense, not knowing what he had just thought of.
The author has something to say: Drop, ten cards.
