The newly decorated room has a warm warm color style, dotted with a few pots of beautiful flowers and plants, exuding a faint fragrance. Open the curtains, a few tall pine trees and maple trees contrast with each other, the small yard is a green and smooth lawn and flower beds, the distant pond with light water waves, a few ducks frolicking in the pond, a few naughty chicks chasing the little squirrels stealing broken corn kernels, the sunset looks very vivid, the small grass by the yard, a brown-red quartt and a little Brahmin cow leisurely eating grass.
In the small flower garden in the yard, Dudu, dressed as a cowboy, pouted his little buttocks and was trying to dig up beautiful flower seedlings and put them into small pots, looking up and smiling at his father upstairs from time to time, and continuing to work by himself with a small shovel. Li Han smiled and looked at the busy little guy, the little guy likes the soil very much, loves to grow vegetables, loves flowers and plants, and small animals. For dinner, Li Hanqing fried eggplant death, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eggs from his own chickens, and fish and shrimp soup, which really tasted good.
Dudu is very happy, he will use his little chopsticks to get praise from his father, and every time he clips more dishes, he stuffs his mouth and smirks, little guy. At the end of dinner, Dudu yelled to wash the dishes and brush the chopsticks, otherwise Dad washed it, Li Han put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Dudu carried the chair to the kitchen, stood on the chair to wash the dishes and brush the chopsticks, washed it, and Li Han helped put it in the cupboard.
Before going to bed, he listened to the story in Li Han's arms, changed into diapers and cotton pants, pajamas, Li Han didn't have time to buy it, just right, tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the town with my parents and sisters, and I bought them together.
Early the next morning, Li Han got up early, took off his work clothes and changed into neat casual clothes, Dudu was dressed like a little princess, a pink gauze princess dress, a top hat with a pink cute bow, red leather shoes, and white lace socks. Li Han drove a pickup truck and took Dudu to the town church, there are three churches in the town, one large and one small, the small church is the usual place of worship, the cathedral holds activities, and there is an old church also known as the cemetery church.
After breakfast, the people of the town came to the church, Dudu was the first time to come, looking around curiously, Li Han did not enter the church for the first time, and sat on the bench in front of the church, the time was still early, just after nine o'clock. Dudu took Miri to chase the little squirrel to play, Li Han was not afraid of the little squirrel scratching Dudu, the little guy was easy to get close to the small animal.
"Good morning, Uncle Ronald, Aunt Scibble, Mighty. Li Han got up and greeted Ronald's family who came over, but the population of Mixing Town is a little more than 10,000, and it is rare to see such a lively town in ordinary times.
"Good morning, Han, nice clothes are suitable. Ronald and Sibble hugged Li Han, and the power slapped Li Han lightly, provoking Sibur to glare. The playful Dudu trotted over and greeted politely, and the little guy had a good memory. "Thank you, Uncle Ronald. Li Han smiled and touched Dudu's little head.
"God, what a lovely little angel, Han, can Pandora stay with me for a while? God, it's so beautiful, my little angel is coming. Sibury was very fond of giving Dudu a kiss and giggling with Dudu.
"Of course, Aunt Shimble, Uncle Ronald, I think we can go to the lounge for a cup of coffee, how about it, Might?" Li Han was very happy, Dudu was taken care of, although the church had a children's lounge, Li Han was still a little uneasy.
"Han, Ronand, I'll see you soon. "Sibble leaves, Lehan and Ronald, and Willy comes to the lounge, where there is coffee and some small snacks. "Han, Mr. Glaserman, it will be at half-past nine, and I think you may have to talk to him about the pastures. ”
"Yes, Uncle Ronald, I'm ready. Li Han took a sip of coffee, and it tasted good. "Han, God will bless you. "Thank you. "Willy doesn't like coffee very much, beer is better.
"God, Han, I wish you success. Ronald raised his coffee cup, and Li Han said with a smile as he raised his coffee. "I think God will bless me, and the conversation must be very pleasant. ”
"Han, I think it's going to be like this, I'm sorry, Han, I'll go for a while. Ronald saw that someone was looking for him and talked to Li Han, and stood up and left. Li Han and Weili bowed their bodies to send them off, and Weili was a little dislike for the rich. "Han, these damn rich people, damn them, we should unite and drive them out of Kemixing. ”
"Power, Uncle Ronald may be unpleasant. Li Han motioned to Weili not to speak so loudly, there were several farmers with rich outsiders in the lounge. "Han, I'm so sorry I didn't help you. ”
"No, Mighty, maybe we should talk about a baseball game. Li Han smiled and changed the topic, but Weili did not mention it again. "Of course, Han, God, it's a shame that you didn't participate, I think I'll play a good game today. ”
"God bless you, it's a pity, mighty, how I want to participate. Li Han said regretfully, the two talked about the baseball team, and when they really wanted another cup of coffee, a white old man walked in outside the door, Li Han's brows furrowed slightly, Glassman.
"Power, I'll go over for a moment. Li Han walked over to Glassman's table with a coffee cup and greeted him with a smile. "Good morning, Mr. Glasserman. ”
"Good morning, young man, maybe you can sit on the other side. Glaserman said, pointing to the couch in the distance.
"No, Mr. Glaserman, I think I need to introduce myself. Li Han did not listen to Glaserman's advice and sat down in the seat opposite Glaserman.
"No, it's in vain, young man, I want to be quiet and God for a while. "It's a shame that Guseman didn't even plan to listen to Li Han.
"Mr. Glaserman, God will also hear the troubles of young people, and I think so, you are a devout believer in God. Perhaps help a troubled young person and God will forgive you for all your sins. Li Han didn't plan to leave like this.
"God above, young man, I think that's enough. Glaserman said lightly, closing his eyes, Li Han sighed helplessly. "Sir, I think you should manage your pastures better, and perhaps this will make more people feel that you are devotion to God. ”
Glassman didn't seem to hear what Li Han said, and shouted out the door. "Visa, take me to the Rev. Hulton Reverend's office. Li Han shook his head with a wry smile and returned to his previous seat with his coffee.
"Han, it's a shame that this is a stubborn old man, such a damn rich man, with such a strange temper. Weili comforted Li Han on the shoulder, and Li Han said with a smile. "Perhaps, okay, Might, it's time. ”
The church hall sang hymns, not as strict as imagined, full of vitality, the band on the stage was very active, the melody of the chant was very sultry and dynamic, the electronic vocal music was passionate, sometimes lyrical and slow, the people in the audience raised their hands and swayed, with tears in their eyes, the whole audience sang in chorus, and the atmosphere was as exciting as a rock concert, and as quiet as a condolence (that is, Jesus). Li Han and Weili shook their bodies, and God was there.
After singing the hymn, the pastor gave a speech, Pastor Houlton is very good at acting, telling a certain chapter in the Bible to extend the story to reality, no preaching, Li Han laughed from time to time is really a good old man, of course, laughter and tears are together, in any case, the church hall, the atmosphere is very good, both on and off the stage are very devoted, no one moves around and goes in and out. Forty minutes, the service ended.
Li Han took out twenty dollars and gave Dudu ten dollars, and Li Han planned to ask Pastor Houlton to help Dudu baptize, and raise donations at will, one dollar, or five dollars, or even ten cents. At the end of the week, Li Han never saw Glassman again, and the old man donated a hundred dollars, which was a generous and stubborn old man.
The sun is good, it's a good weather, in front of the church, some old people sit together, holding dogs, or some other pets, or bread or hamburgers in their hands, very leisurely, teasing pets, children are playing. Li Han took Dudu and said goodbye to Ronald's family.
"Han, it's a pity. Ronald regretted that the conversation between Lehan and Glaserman was not successful. "Han, my brother, perhaps we need to teach this stubborn old man a hard lesson. Willy reassured.
"Thanks, I think there will be a way, Uncle Ronald, Aunt Sible, Mighty, don't worry. Li Han said with a smile, leading Dudu and Ronald to separate, back to the pickup, Li Han prepared lunch and took it out.
