Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 141 Add Ding Import

As soon as Li Fushou returned to the Red Fort, he saw the butler Li Anxi greeted him with a smile. He knelt on his knees and yelled loudly; "Congratulations, Master, Congratulations, it's a great joy." , Aunt Xiang, who is far away in England, sent a telegram to the old man, adding a fat son to the old man. Mother and son are safe, and I miss him day and night. This aunt Xiang is really a blessed person, let’s see. It’s all festive."

   "Oh, seriously." Li Fushou heard the good news suddenly, and he couldn't believe his ears.

   "If you have ten small heads, you don't dare to lie. It really can't be true anymore. Master, you have something to do. Let's congratulate you here."

"Hahahaha...Okay, okay, Xiang Niu'er really gave me a big surprise, Ang Lee, you report this good news. You will get a reward of 100 pounds. Everyone in the Red Fort has a big reward, all plus one month. Salary, hahaha..."

  Li Fushou was so happy that he laughed to the sky, strode into the courtyard gate amidst the congratulations of everyone, and the excitement of being a new father overflowed from his eyebrows.

  Walking into the inner hall and seeing the fragile congratulations of the thin and pretty girls from Yan Fei Huan, I was really happy.

  Gu Liuyan ran over like a gust of wind, got a blessing in front of Li Fushou, pouted and said, "Congratulations, sir."

Seeing her somewhat unwilling appearance, Li Fushou laughed and embraced her in his arms, and whispered to Gu Liuyan's ear, only to see that Gu Liuyan's ears turned red with naked eyes, and he was embarrassed. Nodded timidly.

  To celebrate this day in the house, please click here.

  The news spread to Red River Valley. Many people set off firecrackers spontaneously, and several lion dance teams took to the streets to perform majestic and majestic performances amidst festive gongs and drums, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

  Wolf Guard Captain Huo Xiaohu, wearing a dark gray uniform, rode by and saw a lively scene on the street. He couldn’t help but stop his horse and asked the passers-by curiously; “Hey, man, what happened to you so happy?”

The passerby looked at Huo Xiaohu who was riding on a tall horse. He looked heroic in the uniform of a wolf and flag guard. He whispered "Okay" in his heart and replied eagerly; "You don't know this sir, our earl's mansion The great master is coming. This is the news that just came out. This small guy is happy in his heart and comes out to have a good time."

"Oh, it won't be so fast. Madam. There is no sign of it before." Huo Xiaohu didn't turn his mind for a moment. As a cavalry guard, he had seen the countess Gu Liuyan some time ago. Come out pregnant.

  "This is not a lady, but an auntie Xiang who is far away in England. It is said that when the Earl traveled in Europa, this auntie had a body, so she stayed in England and did not come back together."

  This passerby watching the excitement knows quite a lot, Huo Xiaohu suddenly realized that he quickly said "thank you".

  As a member of the cavalry guards, he is essentially a private armour raised by Lord Earl. The brainwashing education in the camp is never interrupted every day, so loyalty is naturally unnecessary.

  Huo Xiaohu immediately thought that he should go to the commander's place, and the officers of the wolf cavalry guard met to give gifts and ask for a wedding drink.

  Think about it again

  Now it’s the next twilight hour. Maybe Zhou Dahui was instructed to prepare dinner at home. Now it’s a bit embarrassing in the past. Why should I invite myself to sit and eat together?

  That's it, let's go back and talk about it.

  Wolf cavalry middle-level officers are well paid. They can get a monthly salary of 6 pounds and 15 shillings, and various allowances for performing tasks. This income level is 3 to 4 times that of ordinary people. A proper middle class.

Although Huo Xiaohu is not married yet, he has a two-story granite stone bungalow in Christtown. It is a very western style house with European-style Roman columns and arched window lattices.

  This kind of independent house with a marble floor is priced from 68 to 99 pounds in Christtown, with a front yard and a stable and tool house at the back, which can comfortably live in a family of six or seven.

  The difference in price is mainly the size of the area and the use of decoration materials. The ones with the promenade and fountains in the front are more expensive, and vice versa.

These houses built by white developers have distinctive features. The British are mostly in Victorian style, the French are in neo-Renaissance romantic style, and the Italians have Mediterranean style and Spanish-style buildings, and there is no need for the high ridges of Chinese classics. The overhanging eaves enriches the architectural style of this beautiful immigrant city in Red River Valley.

  Located in the downtown area of ​​Christtown, it is mainly European and Western style, and belongs to the middle and high income settlement.

  Huo Xiaohu rode to the gate of the yard and turned over. He saw the neighbor He Acai and some of his companions just coming back from hunting. Two big fat rabbits and a few colorful pheasants were tied behind the saddle, and he said with a smile;

   "Brother He, you are out hunting again. It seems that you have gained a good harvest?"

  "Hahaha...Xiaohu promises you, we have nothing to do for a few afternoons to go out to get some wild animals. We just hit a nest of rabbits in the woods ahead, how big is this fat rabbit?"

  Watching He Acai braggingly raise the rabbit's hands, Xiaohu took a breath of air; "I'm a good boy, I'm afraid this rabbit weighs 30 kilograms?"

"Hehe... more than 30 kilograms. I just borrowed the vendor's iron scale and weighed it. This rabbit weighs 36 kilograms and a half, which is almost as heavy as our old piglet." He Acai smiled and put it down. The rabbit in his hand warmly invites Huo Xiaohu; "Brother Xiaohu, don't worry too much, come and help me pick the rabbit skin, and hand it to your sister-in-law to clean up. Let's eat spicy rabbit meat tonight. Let's take two full cups. "

   "Okay, I'll take the horse back to feed some fodder."

  Huo Xiaohu readily agreed, eating a rabbit in Australia is nothing.

  As there are more and more Chinese in the Red River Valley, more people go out hunting without problems. There are fewer and fewer wild rabbits that you can see everywhere. Sometimes you have bad luck and you have to ride a long distance to see them.

  He Acai had good luck today. Everyone who went out hunting in the group had something to gain, with a satisfied smile on his face.

  The immigrants who came to Australia quickly learned to ride horses. This is almost a basic skill. They can only wander around the city on two legs, and can't go anywhere else.

  Oh, by the way, now the train has opened for passenger transportation. You can take the train all the way to Songjiang Town in the south, and you can also reach Songshu Town in the south.

  Many people spend money on the train on weekends, just enjoy the scenery all the way to Songjiang Town, and then take the train back in the afternoon.

  Some people are attracted by the lively scene in Songjiang Town. Those who go to do business, open a shop, and look for opportunities are endless. If they don’t have enough money in their pockets, they can still get loans.

Huitong Bank has now relaxed the loan conditions. Any naturalized person can get a loan of 50 pounds from the start. Of course, 10% annual interest is a must, and a loan of 50 pounds can only get 45 pounds, because the remaining 5 pounds is the first Year's interest.

  Even if the loan is paid off on the second day, the interest of these five pounds is still to be paid.

  Even so, there are still many people eager to take out loans.

  As long as you are willing to work hard in Australia, it is easy to make money, but the cost is also high. Others live in large and comfortable houses. If you have the conditions, you are embarrassed to live in a bungalow?

  Others have horses to travel, so you are ashamed to keep your two legs behind?

  You have to buy black beans for raising a horse forage, and you almost buy soybean meal. The horse’s appetite is not so big. The black beans are bought for one carriage and one carriage. This year, the cost is at least seven or eight pounds.

  What does it mean to have a horse without a gun?

  You can at least defend with a gun. You can also fight rabbits, pheasants and wild dogs. Ordinary revolvers are not expensive, only a dozen shillings.

  If you have a horse, you still have to buy a saddle. In Australia, those beautifully crafted saddles are more expensive than buying a horse. It is not a matter to pay attention to dozens of pounds.

  If you get married and have more things, women and children will spend a lot of money, and you have to work harder to make money, which is a happy trouble!

  Dinner

  He Acai’s white wife made a big pot of Mexican spicy rabbit meat for them with a big belly, as well as a few flavored side dishes, wrapped in grilled golden tortillas, and the brothers drank them.

  The wine is half full

  The white woman sitting at the dining table clutched her belly and started groaning. I don’t know who reacted and said, “No, it’s probably because of her fetal gas.”

   Suddenly blow up

  The yelling chariot of several men rushed the white woman with a large amount of poo to the nearest Renci Hospital. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the hospital, the woman screamed and her amniotic fluid broke.

  Huo Xiaohu rushed to the hospital like a gust of wind, shouting; "Doctor, doctor, there is a pregnant woman at the door who is about to give birth, can you hurry up and help her."

  "Don't worry, don't worry, who are you her?" A white doctor in a white coat and several nurses walked out in a hurry.

   "I'm her neighbor, and her man is here too. Go and take a look."

   "Ok, leave it to us."

  In the past two years

  There are too many pregnant women in Honghe Valley City, and the doctors also see more of these bewildered family members, and they proceed in an orderly manner according to the established rhythm.

  Huo Xiaohu and He Acai waited uneasy outside the delivery room, waiting with a lot of staring old and young men, listening to the hoarse cry of the parturient inside, their hearts were all pulled together.

  In this era, it is still dependent on normal delivery. Only those who have a dystocia will consider surgery, and the success rate of surgery is not high.

  The survival rate of infants is higher, and the mothers die by 9 cesarean in 10, so it is difficult to pass the barrier of anti-infection.

  So this is a real ghost gate, no one will choose as a last resort.

  Waiting is painful. During this period, several groups of people yelled and pushed the mother in, and then hurriedly sent to the delivery room.

  Someone got the good news of Xishengbao, yelling happily, and was strictly forbidden by the nurse.

  Someone got the news that they were happy to be a daughter, and he shook his head with a wry smile for a while and left, leaving only a lonely back.

  After waiting for more than two hours, He Acai received a thunderbolt-like news; the mother's fetal position was incorrect, and the baby's buttocks came out first. Now it is a dystocia.

  Insurance for adults or children can only choose 2 out of 1, and the decision must be made as soon as possible.

   Hearing the news, He Acai seemed to be stupid. With his wife, happy scenes of the past came to mind. Although the two could not communicate well through language, they understood each other's intentions with just one glance.

  In the past two years, the life is peaceful and beautiful. The white wife cooks very good Mexican food and has a gentle and quiet personality. He has always been the proudest thing for He Acai.

  "Please make a decision as soon as possible. The mother can no longer wait. If you delay it, you may not be able to keep it."

  The doctor's words penetrated He Acai's chest like a sharp sword, causing him to squat down weakly with a trembling, and said in a very low voice; "Then...then save the baby, oooooooo..."

"As a family member, you have to sign before we can perform the operation. You may encounter various problems during the operation. The hospital cannot guarantee 100% success. There is a high probability that both adults and children will not be able to keep it. Mental preparation..."

  "Stop talking, I'll sign." He Acai burst into tears at the moment, and tremblingly signed.

  Look at this scene

  The waiting men around are silent, and no one wants a happy family to encounter such extreme circumstances, and a happy event will be a funeral.

  Thinking of the smiling face of the white sister-in-law, I made a big pot of Mexican spicy rabbit meat for everyone in the evening. It always looks gentle, and the yin and yang may be separated in a blink of an eye.

  Huo Xiaohu felt uncomfortable and wanted to roar wildly. He was full of strength but there was nowhere to do it. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, he was so depressed that he almost suffocated.

  God, don’t bring people like that.

  Have waited and don’t know how long

  The doctor came out to inform He Acai that the caesarean section was very successful. The adults and children have now been saved, but this is just the beginning.

  Women have to pass the most dangerous anti-infection period to survive. This time is not 24 hours or 48 hours, but a whole month.

  Because there are not enough good anti-infective drugs, pregnant women need to rely on God’s blessing and their own resistance, and this hospital can do nothing.

   Nowadays, Yunnan Baiyao is generally used to speed up wound healing. When changing the dressing, spirits are used to clean the wound. Other people use very few drugs.

  He Acai still asked with tears on his face; "Doctor, can I see them?"

  "This..." The doctor hesitated obviously.

  Huo Xiaohu hurried forward and said, "Hello doctor, I am the officer of the Wolf Cavalry Guard, Huo Xiaohu, and the person who just gave birth is my sister-in-law. I hope you can give me convenience. I am grateful."

   "Oh, it's Sir Wolf Cavalry Guard. I'm disrespectful." The white doctor saw the officer badge that Huo Xiaohu had taken out, and he couldn't help but look awe.

   "Okay, thank you so much." He Acai was so excited that he nodded and bowed his waist to express his gratitude.

  In the Red River Valley, the Earl’s guard officer is honored as the Chief, and the Royal Mounted Police and Sheriff are all called SIr.

  These are the most direct-line forces of the Queensland Earl, not one of them.
