At dusk

Li Fushou came to the Nuan Xiang Pavilion, which is a delicate small courtyard, and Mrs. Xiang's residence in the Red Fort is small in scale but has a unique cave.

"Daddy, Daddy......"

As soon as she came to the gate of the yard, a four-year-old girl with pigtails ran all the way, and her little short legs were upside down quite fast, and she stretched out her hand to hug her from afar.

This is Li Fushou's daughter Xiao Cherry, whose English name is Elizabeth, was born in Earl Castle Queensland, outside London, and has just returned to Australia with her mother, Mrs. Xiang, less than half a year.

The little guy is particularly clingy, especially attached to his father Li Fushou.

"Don't run so fast, beware of falling."

Li Fushou showed a loving smile on his face, and hurriedly walked a few steps to pick up the child, this little girl with pink carving stretched out her hand and ran all the way, and when she came closer, she had lost her balance, and she was about to fall on her stomach.

"Hey...... Beware ......"

Li Fushou jumped up with a sharp arrow and hugged the little cherry when it was about to fall to the ground.

Little Cherry was momentarily confused, and before she realized what was happening, she had been hugged by her father's strong arms like a sea fishing moon, and immediately "giggled" happily.

"Giggle...... Again...... Daddy again......" Little Cherry cried excitedly, daring to want to do it again.

Li Fushou threw the child twice in the air, making Little Cherry laugh happily, and the laughter like silver bells sprinkled all over the courtyard.

Mrs. Xiang came out with her maid, and said with a smile when she saw the father and daughter playing; "Little cherry, don't always pester Daddy, Daddy is very tired after a hard day, give Daddy a rest."

"Daddy, are you tired?" Little Cherry stared at her big black eyes and asked with a serious expression.

"Daddy and Little Cherry aren't tired at all."

"Oh...... Daddy said he wasn't tired. Little Cherry cheered happily with two small fists.

Li Fushou hugged the child and walked into the courtyard all the way with a smile and a smile, at this moment the golden sunset sprinkled all over the courtyard, the flowers in the nursery are blooming brightly, and the breeze comes slowly in the evening, a pleasant homely and warm scene.

Xiao Cherry is the eldest concubine daughter, she is 4 years old this year, she can say almost anything, and she refuses to come down from Li Fushou.

When he came to the room and sat down, Li Fushou hugged the little cherry on his lap, turned to Mrs. Xiang and said; "Xiang'er, little cherry will soon reach the age of enlightenment, and other children will go to school when they are older, I plan to set up a school hall in the Red Castle, and put it in the IELTS garden near the left of the gate, open a separate door, and hire a professor of Mr. Gao Dexun, so that some of the children of the ministers and important people can come to study together, what do you think?"

"The master's arrangements are always appropriate, and the concubine listens to the master."

"Okay, that's it, when everything is taken care of, I'll tell someone."

"Master, do you want to buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstones, etc.?"

"No, can there be anything else missing in the Earl's Court? There are a lot of things in the inner house, and let the housekeeper Li Xi bring someone to deliver it another day, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"yes, I see."

Xiang'er is the second lady, but her temperament is weak and gentle, and she has always been a good temper who does not fight or grab, and she is very loved by the master.

In the hazy light of dusk, Xiang'er's beautiful young woman's face exuded a moving luster, sitting on one side seemed so quiet, she and Li Fushou chatted casually and lightly, and the well-behaved little cherry sat on her father's lap, very sensible and not noisy, and soon snuggled in her father's arms and fell asleep.

Warm days, quiet years.

At night, the streets of the Red River Valley are brightly lit and crowded with people.

Zhao Qishan, Mai Guangtian, Ma Limin and Lu Qiang came out of the small hotel and wandered along the street, ready to find a place to have dinner and buy some things for their families by the way.

Shortly after the port of Qingdao Town was opened to a small steamer, they took the small steamer to Red River Valley City this time to buy some cattle and sheep for their respective pastures to take advantage of the current good wool prices, so as to further expand the size of the herd and make more money.

These people followed Old Mike to open a private ranch in northern Queensland, just in time for the good time when the price of wool was liberalized, and they made a lot of money for three consecutive shearing seasons, and the originally empty money bag instantly bulged.

The North Shore Market of Red River Valley City is the leading cattle and sheep trading market in Australia, with more than 2 million people in the surrounding six cities consuming nearly 6,000 cattle and sheep every day, and more than 100,000 chickens, ducks, geese, livestock and poultry, most of which come from the market.

There are also large cattle and sheep trades, horses, camels, pigs, all kinds of game, and even retired war horses can be found here, which is an extremely lively market.

The four of them walked all the way along the street, and the stalls and shops on the side of the road at night were very lively, teahouses, restaurants, and theaters were full of people, and the business was quite hot.

"Qishan, let's leave here for more than a year, the Red River Valley seems to be more crowded, more lively, and the city is bigger, cleaner, the changes are really not small!"

"If you talk so much nonsense, you just say that you are more beautiful, and you have to be strangled."

"Hey...... I think it's still good in the city, people come and go, popular, and these women in cheongsams are very good-looking, unlike our ranch where you can't smash people with a stick, except for your wife and children and a few hired workers, there are no other people who can speak, it's too deserted. ”

"Hirota, you can sell the ranch and move back to live at any time, I estimate that there are a lot of people vying to buy it for a lot of money." Zhao Qishan suddenly stopped when he said this, turned his head and looked at Mai Guangtian carefully, and suddenly said; "I'll strangle the grass, you kid don't have a fancy intestines, right? I can tell you Guangtian, Jenny is good to you, she gave birth to a big fat son for you, and now she is pregnant in her belly again, don't give me those moths, just look at these beautiful women on the street, or go home and live in peace, and I will fix you if you dare to mess around. ”

"No...... How can it? Mai Guangtian's scalp was numb when he was stared at by Dalian, and he laughed.

Zhao Qishan and Mai Guangtian both married the daughter of Old Mike and also entered Christianity, and the pastures of the three families were closely connected, and even the residences were next to each other, at the junction of the three ranches.

Zhao Qishan is second to none in the nearby ranch in terms of personal force and prestige, and the ranch cowboys are all obedient to him, and Mai Guangtian is also a little worried about really starting a fire.

"Guangtian, now I regret entering Christianity, you look at me and I married two women, this time after buying all the cattle and sheep, Brother Limin and I went to the media company to take a look, there is a suitable girl, marry another one, go back and give me a lot of cubs, hahaha...... Envy doesn't kill you? Lu Qiang played the role of a bad friend very well, and squeezed Mai Guangtian with words while walking.

Ma Ming is not a good thing, sighed quietly, patted Mai Guangtian on the shoulder and said; "A foreign woman is good, it's just that this foreign religion is too troublesome, I have to go to worship every week, and my wife can only marry one, to be honest, my brother can't help you, anyway, I have to marry a wife if I make a lot of money, three 5 are too little, 10 8 is not too much."

"Shut up you two bastards, they're not good stuff." Zhao Qishan watched the two of them fanning the flames one by one, and said that Mai Guangtian's face was green, and he didn't get angry.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, anyway, if you marry a little wife like a flower and go home and steal fun, you shouldn't have seen it." Lu Qiang said with a grin.

"Yes, it's not cool, we're blind people eating rice balls...... I know in my heart, I don't need to show off in front of people, anyway, I believe in the Taoism of the ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty, and his old man asked me to marry many wives and have many sons. Ma Min vowed to do his friend to the end, looked at Zhao Qishan, whose face was dark, and said more and more proudly;" When the time comes, I will let our son pursue your daughter, one can't do two, two can't do three or five, anyway, I want to marry your daughter, and after a hundred years, your ranch will belong to my old horse's family, hahahaha......"

Speaking of pride, Ma Limin couldn't help but laugh, as if the ranch had already been obtained, and he was so happy that he didn't want to.

Zhao Qishan was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he couldn't help but raise his leg and kick him and scolded; "You bastard, go and dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival, can my precious daughter marry your son? Don't even think about it. ”

"It's up to you, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"Fart, stinky fart......"

Several people walked forward talking and laughing all the way, Lu Qiang saw a slogan in front of him, and couldn't help but smile and said; Look at the slogan, "It is strictly forbidden to defecate anywhere, and violators will be severely punished", is this that you have nothing to do if you are full, and you can manage people's shit and fart? ”

"What's all the fuss about, you think the Red River Valley is the one-third of an acre of land you have there, and you can pull it as much as you want?"

"That's right, this is a big city, hundreds of thousands of people are spitting on the street together, and the whole city stinks, no matter what?"

"Lu Qiang, this guy is rare and weird, a country bun."

"I don't know."

"Silly bird."

Several people happily fell into the well, and Lu Qiang was speechless, and he was able to raise his hand to say mercy; "Masters, can't I be wrong, please be merciful!"

"Don't even think about it, idiot."

"That's right, I feel ashamed to walk with you, the unseen country buns, dirty and smelly of cow."

"Guys, hearing you say this, I feel a level higher than Lu Qiang, how did this stupid bird get into our team in the first place? Shame and companionship! ”

Lu Qiang saw that the three bad friends were getting more and more energetic, and he knew that he couldn't stop their mouths, so he could only use the Dafa of Concealment and Crossing the Sea, and pointed to the front excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent; "Brothers, you see there's a restaurant there, let's go in and have a look?"

The other three let out a long sigh in unison and rolled their eyes; This street is full of restaurants and wine shops, what's so strange?

This kind of IQ is also hopeless, pick it up and bury it!
