If you want to build a ranch, the first thing you need to do is to select a site. After the location is determined, other work can begin.

Li Qingyou was a little worried. First, he had to find a suitable place around Qingshan County. Secondly, he had to find a landowner to confirm the ownership of the land. Then he discussed the issue of buying the land, and there were many issues involved in it. And very detailed.

Shen San was urging him very urgently. It was not easy to do so many things in such a short period of time.

"Don't we still have a piece of land? Let's just use it." Adi suggested: "Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

Li Qingyou chuckled and rubbed his brother's head, "You little fool, you can't just occupy farmland."

"Oh." Adi nodded confusedly.

"Why am I telling you this?" Li Qingyou also shook his head, and then seeing the tired look on his face, told him to go back to sleep quickly.

Adi didn't want to go, so he sat next to Li Qingyou and put his head on her shoulder, "Sister, please rest early. It's already so late. Let's do it tomorrow."

Li Qingyou's mind was now full of longing for the future, and she was still in a state of excitement. Even if she went back, she couldn't fall asleep. She patted her brother gently and said, "Good boy, you go to bed first, and sister will watch for a while." What needs to be added and improved?

Adi pouted and refused to leave, but did not disturb Li Qingyou's thoughts anymore. He just leaned against her and continued to read the sketches.

There are some marks on the sketch, and the locations of various places such as the tofu shop and the pig pen are clearly written on it, but...

The word "Sister Qingyou" is really ugly. It's all typos. If she hadn't explained it to him one by one just now, he wouldn't even know what it said.

But you can't say this to sister Qingyou, otherwise she will be unhappy.

Li Qingyou looked at the sketch carefully, then took out the plan and added and corrected it. Suddenly her arm felt heavy and when she looked down, she found that her brother had fallen asleep leaning against her.

This child was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes and still kept holding on. Li Qingyou was relieved and distressed at the same time.

The east room is next to the donkey shed. There are many mosquitoes in the summer. The windows are open and the lights are lit, so many mosquitoes fly in. Even if you light wormwood under the window, it won't have much effect.

In comparison, Xili Room is much better, at least there are not so many mosquitoes.

Li Qingyou gently held Adi's head to lay him down, then got off the kang, held his head with one hand, and put the other hand under his leg, using both hands to exert force.

No, no hug.

"Little guy, I've gained weight these days." Li Qingyou looked at Adi's increasingly rounded little face, which seemed to be a little taller than when he first picked him up, and felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Adi seemed a little unhappy that his sweet dream was disturbed. He frowned and muttered, then turned around and hugged Li Qingyou's neck with both hands, and rubbed his head against her neck.

Li Qingyou thought it was time for her brother to wake up now, so she kept silent for a while for fear of scaring him. However, after waiting for a while, she heard a small snoring sound next to her ears, and saw that the little guy was fast asleep again.

I slept quite soundly.

Seeing Adi's sleeping face flushed, Li Qingyou couldn't bear to wake him up. Fortunately, he was holding her neck, which made it easier for her to pick him up. One hand was holding Adi's back, and the other hand was supporting him. She bent his legs and put strength on her waist, and finally picked him up.

After leaving the east room, he walked through the main room, carried Adi back to the small kang in the west room, took off the two little hands from his neck, covered him with a quilt, and then returned to the east room.

The night is as quiet as water, and everything is silent. The small oil lamp as small as a bean casts a warm light, reflecting the picturesque features of the girl under the lamp.

Outside the courtyard wall, Zhang Tieniu looked at it through the open window, with various emotions in his heart.

During the day, he secretly went to Luji Hutong, not following Li Qingyou, but because he knew Qin Xiu lived there.

He couldn't tell what kind of mentality he had. He was very angry about Qin Xiu's betrayal, but he was not too sad. Instead, he felt relieved.

He didn't think about revenge, and he wouldn't force someone if they didn't like it. He just wanted to see what kind of person he had lost to.

As a result, I never expected to see Li Qingyou there.

At that time, he was shocked, resentful, angry, sad, disappointed, and all kinds of indescribable emotions were mixed together, so much that his blood surged and he almost rushed over to ask her why she did this.

He didn't believe that the Qingyou girl in his heart was a vain woman, not to mention that it was the foreign residence purchased by Mr. Shen for Qin Xiu. No matter how willing she was to degenerate, she would not do such despicable things.

The reason he was able to hold back his impulse at that time was due to the fact that he didn't drink during the day. He couldn't afford to offend the Shen family, and it wasn't worth it for Qin Xiu.

But now he doesn't want to endure it anymore.

He wanted to ask her why she wanted to get close to that playboy of the Shen family, and why she treated him like this.

As soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly saw Li Qingyou standing up. He walked out of the house and walked to the donkey shed to add fodder to the stone trough.

Zhang Tieniu put his raised foot down again.

He drank a lot tonight, and he didn't know the exact amount. But he was sobered up by the cold wind, and he began to reorganize the scenes he saw during the day.

Li Qingyou left for more than ten days before coming back, and Mr. Shen has been in Qingshan County these days, which means that they have not been together for more than ten days.

Maybe it's just that Li Qingyou has something to do with Mr. Shen, but he doesn't know what the matter is.

But one thing that is basically certain is that even if they had that intention for each other, they would not have done so quickly, otherwise Li Qingyou would not have gone to Luolu Hutong, let alone left after a while.

As long as nothing happens between them, he still has a chance.

And the opportunity is right in front of you.

Three watch drum sounds sounded outside, and it was already the third watch.

Li Qingyou finished filling the donkey with hay and couldn't keep his eyes open. He rubbed his sore shoulders. He had to get up early tomorrow and had to do a lot of things. He couldn't stay up too late tonight.

He carefully put away the revised sketches and plans, blew out the oil lamp and went back to the Xili room to rest.

As a result, I was lying on the bed after almost a stick of incense and still hadn't fallen asleep. My mind was turning over various details about the ranch, when suddenly I heard a slight thud in the backyard.

Is there a thief?

Li Qingyou sat up with a start.

If it were during the day, no one would notice it, but in the dead of night, any sound would be amplified.

Li Qingyou got off the kang, tiptoed out of the house, picked up a handful from behind the door, and quietly walked to the back door.

The sound came from the backyard, so the thief must have come in from here.
