Facing the female dependents, as if she was still looking at her as a national protected animal, Yan Fa cleared his throat: "No need to be polite. ”

He put his hands behind his back, and his posture calmly seemed to regain a little bit of celebrity demeanor.

Li Qian smiled: "I'm tired all the way, let's take the children to rest first." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Qiutan nodded: "I'll go to the kitchen in person in the evening and cook a good meal for you and your husband." ”

Yan Fa seemed to be a little surprised that the husband and wife got along and called each other, with their status, it was rare for a child who grew up in the Heavenly Family to have such a harmonious husband and wife relationship.

A game of chess was played until dark, and the aroma of the meal wafted over.

The makeshift stove was ventilated on all sides, and Shen Qiutan, who was watching the fire, was slapped from behind.

Bai Zhi was frightened and said angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

Shen Qiutan turned around and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy smiling at her.

"You're Alley?" Shen Qiutan asked, "I've heard of you." ”

The little boy nodded, his eyes full of curiosity and joy on his flushed face.

Now, he has learned a lot of official words: "Hello...... See! Then he pointed to the steaming pot: "It's delicious!" ”

Shen Qiutan said with a smile: "When the meal is served in a while, I will leave some for you." ”

The boy didn't seem to understand, but when he saw that Shen Qiutan was smiling, he nodded.

Dinner began soon, Shen Qiutan originally thought that even if the savages did not resist, they would not like his group, but he didn't expect that he didn't know which savage shouted, and dozens of other savages gathered one after another, all waiting for the meal to start.

Shen Qiutan said secretly, thanks to the large amount of food that she thought about at that time, the pro-soldiers who were mining had a large amount of food, and she ordered her subordinates to prepare more meals, otherwise it would definitely not be enough, and it might not be enough now.

The wildlings don't need a table, but have learned to stand in line to get food.

Li Qian pulled Shen Qiutan to the table, and listened to Shen Qiutan say in surprise: "Isn't there still their ancestors under the mine?" Are they helping us now? "The worship and respect of the savages for their ancestors is almost inviolable, but now why not only did they agree to open the mines, but they also came to help?

Li Xuan nodded: "Those bones have been found, I ordered someone to choose a place for them to be buried, and a monument was erected." ”

Oh, I see, the savages may not understand the meaning of the monument, they may want the bones, know where they are, encounter unexplained natural phenomena, encounter heavy droughts and heavy rains, and have a place to pray.

The solemn erection of the monument should be Li Xuan's own insistence.

Yan Fa didn't see any rustiness with chopsticks, and he didn't need to be greeted, so he took a sip of wine on the dish, shook his head and sighed: "I haven't drunk for many years, but I didn't expect to have such a good wine." ”

His face was covered by a beard, but there was a clear and distant air between his eyebrows, a bit like Wei Tingyuan who pretended to be a master, but he was two points more casual than Wei Tingyuan.

Yan Fa didn't take a few bites of food this time, but he drank a lot of wine, and when he left, he asked Shen Qiutan for a jar. Shen Qiutan couldn't figure out what this person thought, but he was happy when there was no shortage of wine, but he didn't expect Yan Fa to say "thank you" solemnly, which made Shen Qiutan flattered.

At night, Shen Qiutan carefully smoked the house, lit the lamp and checked that there were no insects in the house and the window screens were firm, and then took the children to sleep with Li Qi.

Mama Xu was very dissatisfied with her willfulness, but when people came, they also helped clean it up, seeing that the lights in the main house had been turned off, she stayed alone in the yard for a while, she was from the Northland, but many memories of her childhood have been blurred, and she only vaguely remembers that there is a ginkgo tree in the yard and this one in the yard now.

When she got up the next morning, Shen Qiutan opened the clothes of her daughter and son, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no traces of mosquito bites on their bodies. The two little ones have eaten a lot in their stomachs, they have grown fat, and they have not been sick once since they were born, but the insects, poisonous snakes and wild beasts in the mountains must be guarded against.

Li Qian is already building a fortress, a solid fortress, and after it is completed. Whether you're defending against beasts or enemies, there's plenty of strength to resist.

…………

The days flew by, when Li Qian was busy opening mines and Shen Qiutan was busy drawing maps, Chubby and Zhuang Zhuang had already climbed decently, and the two of them were not idle in their mouths, either babbling and saying things that people couldn't understand, or stuffing things that were so small that adults couldn't see them into their mouths, as if they wanted to "taste" the world.

was so panicked that Mama Xu shouted that she was too old to look at it, and asked Cardamom to take two little girls every day, and she didn't dare to do anything, so she stared at the fat and strong, in case they ate unclean things.

The two little guys are well adapted to the environment in the wild, at least much better than Mama Xu thought.

In the fortress that was gradually cast, there were more and more traces of people, and it could no longer be regarded as a complete wilderness, at least it could be called a very large-scale village.

In addition to the huge kitchen and water supply, Li Li even carved out an additional grove by a small stream, ready for children to explore when they were older.

At present, the fortress is inhabited by the royal army's own soldiers, but in the future, if they retreat, they can leave it to the savages.

The kid named Ali would come and go every day, especially when it was time to eat.

Shen Qiutan sometimes takes people to see the surroundings, and he will follow, and he seems to like Shen Qiutan more than Li Xuan.

And Shen Qiutan never thought that one day, she would come to develop the Great Northern Wilderness, and at this time it was not enough to talk about over-reclamation, but after a few days of surveying, she gradually had a plan for this place.

A woman who has never had a serious job is likely to be a workaholic once she has a job.

Although Shen Qiutan is not crazy, the time spent with the children has been uncontrollably reduced because of walking around every day.

Li Qian had to be a super dad by his side.

When the daughter-in-law is away, the daughter is a little bully, after tasting the sweetness of crying can settle everything, she cries when she doesn't go well, she is the master, everyone else is a servant, where dare to make her cry, I really try it every time.

Li Qian couldn't see it, so he had to bring the two children together when he was dealing with the fortifications and official business.

It was put in the fence that Shen Qiutan had made before, so that the active fat man stopped doing it, and he opened his throat and cried desperately.

Li Qi had no choice but to pick up his daughter, and then discussed with the bearded Yan Fa and several other staff, Chubby was still aggrieved and crying, but when he saw the bearded man, he was so frightened that he didn't cry anymore.

Li Qi was happy, put his daughter into Yan Fa's arms, turned his head and hugged his son, his son kept babbling in his mouth, but he didn't cry after all, and he didn't delay the adults to talk about things.

After a few times, Chubby stopped crying, he played with all kinds of puppet toys by himself, and Zhuang Zhuang didn't babble when he listened to Li Qi's discussions with others, and often he stared at whoever spoke with black eyes, as if he really understood.

After about twenty days, Shen Qiutan finally explored the vicinity clearly. Immediately after, the plan was also made.

Li Qian flipped through the planning map made by his daughter-in-law and exclaimed, "Qiu Tan, can this work?" ”
