The Best Small Farm

  Chapter 35 Vegetable Garden Gossip

   "Uncle is back." The baby was sitting in his brother-in-law's arms, riding a horse for a walk, and seeing Uncle Li Han coming in a pickup truck from a distance, he waved his little hands excitedly.

   "Dudu, do you want to eat ice cream when uncle bought it?" Li Han opened the car window and stuck out his head, smiled and patted the big convenience bag beside the car.

   "Baby wants it, baby wants it." "This girl, don't move when you're done, little man, you go back first, and I'll turn around again." Brother-in-law was afraid that the baby would startle the horse, so Li Han nodded.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go back first." Li Han drove his pickup back to George's small building. Outside the yard, the father was watering the flowers and trimming the branches and leaves. On the other hand, sister Li Mei was feeding two lambs with milk and more than ten pounds of wool. The velvet is very cute, and the baby and Dudu have one as a pet.

   "Where's Dad, Sister, Mom and Dudu?" Li Han asked, putting his purchases on a long chair. "Little Han, come back, Mom and Dudu went to the small vegetable garden to grow vegetables." Li Mei stood up and said.

   "I don't know who to follow, she loves to grow vegetables and flowers so much." Li Han took out the ice cream and handed it to his father and sister.

   "Hehe, follow me, like you must not follow me, it's too cold, you can eat." Li Pinghe put down the kettle and waved his hand.

   "Dad, sister, I'll bring things in first." Li Han bought meat, fresh milk, ice cream and some things in the refrigerator, changed into work clothes and walked out of the small building. "Sister, Dad, I'll go back and see Dudu and Mom."

   "Go, I'll pick up the flowers, by the way, bring this to Dudu to eat, I don't like it very much." Li Pinghe handed back the fresh milk ice cream just handed by Li Han to Li Han. "Dad, I got it, I'll go first."

  Li Han rode a quad bike to the vegetable garden in the woods behind. From a distance, he saw Dudu pouting with his little butt, pulling the soil to find earthworms and snails. "Dudu, where's grandma?" Li Han didn't see his mother and was a little curious.

   "Dad, grandma has filled the water, and Dudu has grown vegetables." Dudu's little hands were behind his back, and the two little turkeys at his feet were jumping and pecking at Dudu's little leather shoes. "Dudu is really capable, so good, let's play." Li Han wiped the dirt off Dudu's face, and the little guy's face turned into a little cat again.

"Well, Dudu catches bugs and feeds the chickens. Grandma said that the chicks eat a lot of bugs and grow eggs for Dudu to eat." "Oh, yes, if Dudu feeds a lot of bugs, the chickens will grow up quickly. ." Li Han touched Dudu's little head, and the little guy smiled and rubbed his father's big hand.

   "Well, the chicken is coming." Dudu went to catch the little bug, and two little turkeys followed, Li Han almost forgot to give Dudu the ice cream. "Dudu, let's see what Dad bought." Li Han took out the ice cream and shook it in front of Dudu.

   "Ice cream." Dudu cheered and took it, he tore it with his little hand, dug it with a wooden spoon and stuffed it into his little mouth, it was beautiful. "Dad eat." The little guy didn't forget to dig a spoon and hand it to Li Han. "Okay, really good, okay, Dad has eaten it, Dudu eat it yourself." Li Han lowered his head and took a bite, and said with a smile.

   "Dudu, Dudu." Zhang Xiuying called twice and came over with a bucket. "Grandma, dad buys ice cream and grandma eats it." Dudu Dengdeng ran to grandma and dug a spoonful of ice cream and handed it to grandma Zhang Xiuying. "It's so good, grandma doesn't eat it, Dudu eat it." "Oh." Li Han said with a small mouth. "Mom, you taste it, it's good." "Well, it's delicious, grandma." Dudu blinked his eyes in anticipation.

"Okay, grandma eats it, it's delicious, okay, grandma Dudu has eaten it." Zhang Xiuying lowered her head and took a bite, Dudu was happy, smiled, ummm, nodded her head and ate the ice cream, Zhang Xiuying even had a slight eye socket Red and slightly moist. "Mom, I'll help you carry the water, you can rest."

   "It's alright, I'm not seventy or eighty anymore." Zhang Xiuying rolled her eyes at her son, her mouth full of smiles, her son became sensible, her little granddaughter was very well-behaved, and it would be even better if she had a daughter-in-law. "Little Han, what are you going to do about Dudu's mother?"

   "Mom, I'll take care of it myself, don't worry about it." Li Han said while helping Zhang Xiuying pour the vegetables he just planted. "You kid, well, I don't care about this, by the way, do you still remember our auntie next door?"

   "Aunt Wang? Did she quit her job as a teacher a few years ago and become Aunt Wang who sells clothes?" Li Han put down the water scoop and asked with some doubts. "No, you don't know that your Aunt Wang has made a lot of money in the past few years, so Xiaoxue is going to be sent to the United States to study."

   "Xiaoxue, little slug?" Li Han's mind came to a little girl with little snot, two braids and big eyes.

   "What a slug, she's a big girl now, but she's pretty." Mom grabbed the water scoop from Li Han's hand and rolled her eyes.

"That's good, come to the United States and come to Montana when I have time. I am a big brother to entertain her." Li Han didn't take her too seriously. He has been a neighbor for many years. Besides, Li Xue has not seen her little girl for seven or eight years. Maybe people don't even remember me.

   "You, you really don't remember Xiaoxue, this girl asked about your brother last time." After the water in the bucket was finished, Zhang Xiuying clapped her hands and stood up. "By the way, Mom, it's time for Li Xue to go to college. Which college are you planning to go to?"

   "Montana University, what else should I say, it's not easy for a little girl to come to the United States alone. You need to take care of yourself as a big brother." Zhang Xiuying carried a bucket to fetch water.

   "Montana University, why did this girl think of this place? Could it be that her grades are not good?" Li Han took the bucket in Zhang Xiuying's hand with a puzzled expression. "You kid, how good is Xue'er's grades, the first in the city, and the top few in the province."

   "It's strange, so good grades don't choose a better school." Li Han took the bucket and turned to leave, still a little puzzled, and almost went to the wrong place.

  Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been tinkering in the small vegetable garden for a long time, and finally the vegetables planted today are ready. "Mom, you go back first, I'll go to the pond in front to see." "Okay, Dudu and grandma go back."

   "Mom, I'll take Dudu, it's fine." Dudu didn't want to go back, Li Han said when he saw it. "Okay, don't stay too long, we'll have dinner later."

   "Got it, Mom." Dudu followed Dad, and the two little turkeys followed Dudu closely. The little turkey regarded Dudu as his mother, and when he was hungry, he looked for Dudu to eat. Li Han took Dudu's little hand and came to the pond, the small lake in the back mountain.

   "Fortunately, the lake is still full of water." There is no problem with the water for the farm crops, Li Han is relieved, and when he gets home, his father is cooking. "Dad, why is it so delicious?" "Hehe, you're not clamoring to eat sangzi noodles, isn't that what your dad is doing?"

   Zhang Xiuying took Dudu to change clothes, and the little guy was messing around with vegetables all afternoon and his clothes were dirty. "Really? It's really fragrant. I haven't eaten it for a long time. It's weird."

   "Uncle is a big greedy cat." The baby said shyly

   "Yes, yes, the baby is not a greedy cat. Next time I see my uncle buy you ice cream to eat." Li Han smiled and teased the baby.

   "Hey, uncle, the bad guy." The baby pouted.

   "Baby's sister is bad, dad is good." She pouted her lips like a doodle, and was unhappy, saying bad things about her father and her sister.
