The Best Small Farm Chapter 60

  Chapter 60 Part-time jobs for international students

   Li Han woke up in the morning, stretched his waist, looked down at Dudu in his arms, the little girl was sleeping so sweetly, pulled the quilt to cover it, and got up carefully. Li Han put on work clothes and a top hat and carried a small box. In the box, two little turkeys were chatting, and they were placed on the lawn in the yard to catch small insects and eat them. Millie followed Little Turkey and acted as a bodyguard. Li Han held the small basin, squatted by the sink, brushed his teeth and washed his face, he grabbed the proud turtle and the big crab crawling around, knocked the turtle shell a few times, and threw it aside. Climb away slowly.

After washing up, Li Han came to the stable to put on rubber boots, cleaned the stable, added some salt water, the weather was getting hot, the horse needs to add some salt water, so he was busy packing up his tools, carrying a bucket and planning to help Xiao Zaohong to wash it down, he was busy yesterday all forgotten.

   turned around and picked up the water, went to get the brush, and the jujube was gone. When he stretched his head, he saw that Bao Bao and Dudu were leading the jujube to the pool. The two little guys had prepared a small bucket, a brush, and a stool. Not far away, my brother-in-law and my father were walking over with a horse. My brother-in-law and my father got up early these days and walked around the small farm. Mom and sister chatted.

  Dudu stood on the stool and patted Xiaozaohong, this kind of grumpy guy lowered his big head and rubbed his head obediently, the baby pouted his mouth with envy, Xiaozaohong is a big bad guy. The two little guys carried small buckets, small brushes, and they looked like they were. Brother-in-law and father were busy getting off the saddles, saddle pads, sweat pads, and water repellents. They all took them off and gave them to each other as usual. Give yourself a flower horse, and keep busy with each other to graze.

  Different from Huama's obedience, Li Han sees the big bottle of jujube red with his **** facing you every time, bowing his head to graze, Li Han came over with a bucket and a brush to help. "Uncle, baby's." The baby opened his hands and refused to let Li Han help, and the two little guys were scrubbing happily.

  Li Han pinched the baby's little nose, put down the bucket and brush with a smile, and said with a smile to his brother-in-law and father. "These two little guys are not willing to let anyone help." The three stood on the side talking and watched the two little guys busy, Xiao Zaohong was good, Li Han was a little envious, but he usually acts like he is serving an uncle. .

   After talking, the two little guys wiped the sweat from their foreheads, patted the big head of the jujube red happily, and Dudu brought some lettuce and carrots in the basket. No wonder Xiaozaohong's mouth is getting more and more mouthful. The two little guys are feeding Xiaozaohong, Li Han, brother-in-law, and dad, discussing the pasture. Dad goes to Auram Lake every day these days, the water of the Yellow River. The surface is getting lower by the day, and Guangguang has dropped nearly a foot these days.

  Li Han did not expect the drought to be so severe, but fortunately there are not many cattle and sheep raised, so there is no need to worry about the forage problem. "Little Han, if we make a few more wells on the farm, it will be easier to water." The fully irrigated farm must have sufficient river water. Now that the weather is getting drier, Li Pinghe is really worried. "Dad, it's alright. Besides, the wells need to be reviewed. It's too troublesome. For a small farm, a few ponds are enough. There is enough water in one large, five small, six lakes and irrigation canals on the pasture, so don't worry about it in a short time. The Oram Lake locks were down two days ago."

Li Han said with a smile, the Peel watering equipment is almost installed, and the wheeled automatic irrigation equipment with a radius of more than 150 meters is installed. too worried.

After breakfast, Li Han drove the tractor and pulled the cart to deliver meat, vegetables, and milk to George Farm. Now he is delivering meat and vegetables every three days. Because Dinah was keeping the sheep, the cart was pulled close to the house. Pasture No. 3 and Pasture No. 2, when Li Han arrived with a tractor, Dinah was riding a horse and driving the sheep to today's grazing area. There were a few little lambs in the flock, chasing after the mother sheep and bleating. The little one came to the farm to be born, but baby Dinah was lumpy.

The two little lambs adopted by Dudu and Baobao are not as big as Dinah. When they go back, they must educate Baobao and Dudu. The two little guys said that when they adopted them, they were good enough to feed the lambs and bathe them every day. I have forgotten all these days. If my sister hadn't thought of the two poor little guys from time to time, maybe the two little lambs would have starved to death. "Dinah, these little guys are really good." "Hey, Han, yes, I'm just going over there to deliver milk, and the little guys are hungry."

  Dinah helped Li Han unload the meat and vegetables into the RV, and came back to get two large feeding bottles and handed one to Li Han. A few lambs seemed to smell the scent of milk and came around. Dinah casually sat on the grass and hugged the lambs, filling the big milk bottle with milk and stuffing the lamb's mouth. Li Han followed suit. It's small, a big bottle is enough to eat. Li Han helped Dinah feed one and drove the tractor back.

Dudu and Baobao went to school. Baobao and Dudu learned English well. Cynthia also talked about Dudu boxing yesterday. Dudu has now played all the kindergarten invincibles. The teacher of Dudu Boxing suggested that Dudu be enrolled in Bouton. Five to eight-year-old children's boxing competition, Li Han had not had time to ask Dudu's opinion, but his mother denied it. Dudu was only three years old, and it was too dangerous to participate in the five-to-eight-year-old competition. I went back and asked Dudu, I don't want to forget it. Two days ago, Baobao and Dudu said that they wanted to join the baseball team. Li Han was very concerned. There were many children on the baseball team playing together. Now, Li Han didn't take it too seriously. If Dudu likes it, he can learn it in another two years.

   Back at the farm, my brother-in-law told Li Han that Weili had just called. "Weili, I'm Han, did you just call me?" Li Han asked when he called back. Wasn't Willi busy harvesting grass these two days.

   "Hey, Han." Wei Li gasped a little, probably just returned from the pasture. "Han, I have a few Chinese students here who plan to work for food and accommodation, but they are not very good at operating machinery."

"So, just today I'm going to clean up the weeds in the walnut garden. Dudu small vegetable garden also needs help, you can let them come to me." Li Han said, this kind of thing happens two or three times a year. Many international students who travel with backpacks mostly exchange labor for food and accommodation, but they rarely encounter Chinese students.

Did my parents hear about Chinese students? They are very happy. These days there are foreigners all around, and I don't understand how to speak. I will meet my family. Not to mention my parents, my sister and brother-in-law are very happy. Dudu and the baby are learning ballet. When I came back with the ox cart, the two little guys were happy when they heard that there were guests at home. The guests wanted to eat delicious food, and the ice cream on the mouths of the two little greedy cats had not been wiped clean.

  Li Han pinched the noses of the two little guys and said. "Two little greedy cats, Dudu can't eat too much ice cream, it will make her stomach upset, baby, you look at sister Dudu." "Oh, I see, uncle." The baby pursed his mouth, the baby wanted to eat ice cream, Li Han smiled He pinched the baby's fleshy cheeks and touched Dudu's little head. "Okay, let's play."

The two little guys took Millie, two little turkeys, two little lambs, a calf that had been untied from the ropes, and a big turtle that looked like a follower. They hopped around with a small bag and went to the small vegetable garden in the back of the yard to catch them. Worms feed chicks.

  Li Han returned to the small building, made a pot of green tea, and entertained the guests. There were a lot of snacks that Li Han made yesterday, and Li Han brought them out. There were three foreign students who were young, in their twenties, one boy and two girls, two girls, one was a boy's girlfriend, and the other was a sister. They were pretty. "It's so beautiful here." The two girls looked at the green lawn and the beautiful flowers on both sides of the fence with a look of love.

When they came to the living room, the three of them introduced themselves. The three of them came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not far from Li Han's hometown. The boy Zhou Hao and the girl Wu Miaomiao had a very beautiful duck face and Zhou Rui had an apple face. The two little dimples smiled cutely.

   Parents and sisters were a little too enthusiastic. When they asked about it, Li Han, who was making trouble, smiled at the three of them and said. "My parents and sister just came to the United States, and they are surrounded by English-speaking blondes and blue-eyed Americans. When you see you nagging, don't suggest it." "It's okay, aunt and uncle are fine, Han, we need us to help you. Do something?"

   Zhou Hao has a strong body and is not short in stature, but he speaks a bit like a southerner's milky niche. "Like this, the weeds in the walnut forest on the hillside not far away need to be cleaned, and my daughter's vegetable garden needs help. Let's go, Zhou Hao, let's clean up the weeds, and Wu Miaomiao and Zhou Rui will help my daughter plant the weeds. The food is ready."

   Wu Miaomiao and Zhou Rui were a little surprised. Li Han looked about the same age as himself and others, but he didn't expect to have a daughter. The two of them thought that their daughter must be quite big, otherwise how could they use the vegetable garden and grow vegetables. Wu Miaomiao and Zhou Rui, Zhou Hao had not watched the Dudu video for more than ten days.

   Li Han drove a tractor and hung a scooter. Brother-in-law, father, and Zhou Hao sat on the scooter. There were also several small lawn mowers in the car. These were used to clean lawns and small fruit forests and weeds. Li Han first taught a few people to use it. The hand-held type is relatively easy. It will take a while to learn it. Don't think that it is easy to learn. The work is very tiring and annoying. I've done a lot of farm work here, but I didn't say I was tired, but it was pretty good.

Li Han originally watched the fellow Chinese help, but now seeing that Zhou Hao did a good job, he nodded and was busy cleaning up weeds. At home, Wu Miaomiao and Zhou Rui said when they saw Li Han. My daughter, two very cute, Wu Miaomiao and Zhou Rui each caught one, Wu Miaomiao caught the baby, Zhou Rui hugged Dudu, two cute little dolls, or Mario suits. Dudu and the baby pouted, the two big sisters are so strange.
