The barbecue banquet on the terrace reached its climax, and everyone was chatting and joking.

Tex dangled his wine glass and lay alone in front of the wooden fence in the courtyard.

Intuition told Emperor Wu that the lively atmosphere here reminded him of his wife and daughter.

"Hey, big guy. Emperor Wu walked up to him.

Dextek turned his head and laughed.

"Take them home. Emperor Wu spoke.

Tex was stunned for a moment, and after reacting to Emperor Wu's meaning, he kept rubbing his hands and did not speak.

"You should give them a call and tell them that you're not idle anymore and that you have a job and a good boss. Speaking of good bosses, Emperor Wu smiled.

"I UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU, BOSS, I don't know if Lily will ever forgive me. Dexton paused, "Oh, Lily is my daughter. ”

"No matter what happened before, you're going to be a good father, right?"

"Yes, as long as they come back, I will never touch the wine, I owe them too much. With that, Turks hung his head over his chest.

It is hard to imagine that the guilty man in front of him once rushed to the front line of the Iraqi battlefield.

Emperor Wu continued: "Do you remember the tramp Burke? His unfortunate people all know that we are all luckier than him. ”

"A girl's growth shouldn't be without her father, go for it, maybe Lily will give his proud father a big hug. I don't think a big flame can replace the warmth of a family. "Emperor Wu tried to make the atmosphere as dull as possible.

Years ago, the Turks lived happily in Pelican Town, and Lily, like her peers, went to kindergarten every day, played, lost her temper, and played tricks.

The town's economy is sluggish, Turks and his wife Karina are unemployed, Karina soon works as a salesperson in a supermarket, but Turks gets into alcohol because of the war, and comes home drunk every night, the two quarrel, and their daughter has become silent, and the original harmonious family is gone.

"BOSS, I'd like to take three days off and go to Brisbane. ”

"No problem, I've already transferred $5,000 to your card. Emperor Wu said.

Turks was grateful.

"Don't worry, man, this is an advance paid to you in advance, which is equivalent to five weeks' wages. ”

The two of them burst out laughing.

Emperor Wu could have provided all the expenses for the financially strapped Turks, but he didn't want to do that, because it was about a man's dignity, just like not paying a hamburger for a homeless man, making money to support his family through his own efforts is what a man should do, not relying on other people's handouts.

Just like she used to do on TV, little Lily could proudly say, "Look! That's my father! His name is Tex!"

What's more, this big guy is nicknamed "Xiaoqiang" in the army.

He was drunk last night, and when he woke up the next day, Emperor Wu found himself lying in a room in the attic of the wooden house, and the courtyard had been cleaned up.

Walking onto the rooftop of last night's party, there was no clutter at all, and it was even cleaner than before the party.

At this time, Emperor Wu's phone rang, it was Uncle Beard.

"Hey, Wu, how's it going, did you wake up?" The uncle was still smiling.

"Andrew, don't tell me, you cleaned up the courtyard last night, which seems inferior to me as a master. Emperor Wu said.

"Haha, this is our habit, it's rude to make a mess in the owner's house. ”

"Well, you guys are really welcoming. ”

Sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole room is filled with the smell of sunlight, which is very pleasant.

"I had a dream last night, I was eating barbecue, and now my stomach is still bulging, haha, then we'll see you at eight o'clock. ”

Emperor Wu still wanted to squint on the bed for a while, but he didn't dream of any barbecue, what he really dreamed of was the bump Burke's energetic appearance when he talked about FOURX beer, I don't know how he is doing now, or committed suicide by jumping into the river?

When Emperor Wu opened his eyes again, Andrew and his party were already knocking on the door.

Unable to help at home, Emperor Wu planned to go to the town to find a construction company to build a stable north of the warehouse.

The original owner, Mr. Hans, only built a cowshed, and the horses were a new blood to the pasture.

The warehouse gate on the east side of the ranch could no longer be closed, and when it was wrenched, it creaked against the ground, and it needed to be removed and replaced, and the fence was badly damaged in many places, which was left to the construction company.

However, it can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the design of the cowshed at that time, the gray dome structure is very beautiful, and the single-row design is adopted, and the cows are arranged side by side, so that they can directly contact the outdoor air, and the outdoor activities can be seen from the glass windows of the cowshed.

The individual cows have a lot of space, minimizing enclosed spaces, they are closer to the natural environment, and each cow can have a suitable stall and they can receive enough light over time.

In Emperor Wu's mind, the design of the stables should be the same as that of the cowshed, which is mainly to ensure that the animals have enough space to move.

Emperor Wu contacted an old decoration company, and when Jenner, the owner of the decoration company, heard that it was Nanao Ranch, he immediately brought someone over to check the situation.

Jenner was an old man with gray hair, wearing a suit and tie, and was nearly seventy years old, with still bright eyes, ruddy complexion, and great grace.

Jenner was one of Hans's few friends, and the ranch's two-story wooden house was built by his company.

Since they built the wooden house, it must have been easy to repair.

When Jenner came, he brought with him the original design manuscript, which was a piece of old yellow paper, with the old Hans's own signature on it, and the handwriting was very beautiful.

"It's a handmade drawing by the elder Hans, and I've been keeping it in the safe for more than a decade, and it's because I received this little project that my company didn't go bankrupt. ”

As he spoke, Jenner lit a cigarette and recalled the financial crisis of that year, when a circle of dazed and bankrupt people were summoned by Hans to the ranch.

"Well, alas, Mr. Hans is gone. Emperor Wu said regretfully.

Jenner stood in front of the ranch with his hands on his hips and nodded, "It's a boutique of design, and its layout is the most eye-catching I've ever seen on a ranch, and I think it's even better than the XN Opera House." ”

Of course, the ranch can't be compared to the "big shell", but in the eyes of Hans, Jenner and others who have worked hard for it, the South Australian ranch is unique.

"Mr. Jenner, when the ranch reopens, you can always come over for tea. ”

Jenner smiled and said, "Young man, I think the ranch will definitely become a real South Australian ranch under your management." ”

"This ranch carries a lot of loads, and it stresses me a lot. ”

"Young man, more than ten years ago, Hans made me, I am a man of gratitude, and I am willing to build a sculpture on the ranch as a symbol for free. Jenner's eyes sparkled.

"Really, that couldn't be better. ”

Emperor Wu originally wanted to shirk it, but firstly, Jenner was not short of money, and secondly, this ranch was the hard work of all of them, and Jenner's words came from the heart.

Pointing to an empty space, Jenner said, "Twenty years ago, there was a small sculpture there, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a fire, and the man who built it is no longer alive, and he, like Hans, is a warm-hearted and stubborn man. ”

"Oh, that's a pity. ”

"But don't worry, I know a master carver who is not well known in the world, but who is definitely a well-known figure in South Wales. ”

"As for the content of the sculpture, what about Apollo, the sun god? There is a portrait of Artenis in the drawing-room, and I think Mr. Hans will also like her twin brother Apollo. Emperor Wu said.

"Not bad idea, of course, you are the owner of the ranch and all the decisions are up to you. Jenner readily agreed.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Jenner. Emperor Wu bowed slightly.

The two walked around the ranch for a while, and Jenner told Emperor Wu a lot of previous stories.

When Emperor Wu asked about Mr. Hans, Jenner kept laughing, "This guy is usually a kind old man, but once he gets into trouble, he is stubborn like a stone! Otherwise, the outside world will always rumor that he is a strange old man!"

Jennaha laughed, pointed to an irregular window in the wall of the barn, and said, "He said he needed a window here, because his most precious cattle needed light at night." ”

"I bet to him that his precious breeder needs glow-in-the-dark because it has bugs on its body, and it doesn't need any glow-in-the-dark at all, and the old man Hans insisted on cutting a window here with a hammer the next day!" said Jenner, smiling.

"And then?" Emperor Wu asked.

"Then it was he who lost two bottles of French wine. Jenner took a drag on his cigarette and said with a smile.

Emperor Wu was attracted by the story he told, as if he saw the stubborn old man digging the wall with a hammer in his hand.

Bidding farewell to Jenner, Emperor Wu went to the seed store to buy forage seeds.

He didn't even sign a contract with Jenner, and the South Australian Ranch looked to him like his own child.
