"Oh, toot no more. Dudu said obediently. "That's good. Li Han asked, but he didn't expect Han Ximin and Li Xi to drink very well, drinking beer and chatting at the same time, and the three of them were much more casual after a meal.
Han Ximin and Li Xi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, saying that they couldn't help cook, they had to help wash the dishes and chopsticks, and the two of them usually cooked, but it was simpler, it was too expensive to eat out in the United States, and the two girls could save a lot of money by cooking together. Dudu followed to help, Li Han was pressed by Han Ximin on the sofa to drink tea, resting, no way, drinking a cup of tea, looking at the kitchen, the two big and one small were busy washing dishes and chopsticks, the lively Han Ximin and Dudu washed the dishes and made a lot of bubbles, frolicking, Li Xi was a little helpless, he really didn't grow up a child.
Li Han leaned on the sofa, smiling and drinking tea, squinting his eyes, Xiao Dudu was very happy today. "Yikes. Li Han, who was distracted by his mother's affairs, couldn't cry or laugh, grabbed Dudu with bubbles in his hands, and slapped his little buttocks. "Naughty ghost. ”

After a break at noon, they drove a tractor to George Farm in the afternoon, and as soon as they arrived at the farm, Han Ximin and Li Xi were attracted by Dinah, who was riding a horse and driving a cow and wielding a rope noose. "It's cool. "Cowgirl, so handsome, the two girls are full of stars, especially when Dinah neatly lassos a calf, Han Ximin and Li Xi's eyes are completely red and worshipful. "It's amazing. The two of them didn't talk about the calf, and they were scared when they saw the calf approaching.
Li Han didn't go over to disturb Dinah's work, the tractor that stopped far away, Han Ximin was very interested in the big tractor, saying that the tractor uncle in the love apartment film was very cute, Li Han looked puzzled, and Li Xi explained that it was a domestic romantic comedy.
Li Han said that there was a guy looking for a look, what about the tractor uncle in Xuexue, Li Xi and Han Ximin giggled. The cattle rushed to the reserved pasture, and Dinah returned to the bushes. "Hi Han, hello. ”
"You're so cool. Han Ximin's eyes were full of star adoration and looked at Dinah. "Thanks, do you want to learn how to ride a horse?" said Dinah. "Can I?" "Of course, it's easy, come on, we can try it first." Dinah said with a smile.
Han Ximin was eager to try and looked back at Li Han. "Try it, the farm horses are very gentle, and Dinah is very powerful, Li Xi, you have to go together, it's a pity not to ride horses on the farm." Dinah took the two horses and went back to the board house to get two sets of mats and saddles.
Dinah's teaching was simple and direct, Han Ximin and Li Xi were so frightened that they screamed, fortunately, Huama's training was good, and Li Han was thrilling watching from the side, but fortunately, there was no danger. "Han, how is it? Do you look like a cowgirl?" After a while, Han Ximin rode a horse slowly in front of Li Han, walked around, tilted his head, and said ostentatiously.
"Like, Dick Cowboy. "Who is Dick Cowboy?" Han Ximin was puzzled all the way, and turned around to ask Li Xi, Li Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and Han Ximin became more and more puzzled. As soon as Li Xi said with a smile, Han Ximin snorted, turned the horse's head, and ignored Li Han.
"Li Xi, I'm quite surprised, I didn't expect you to know Dick Cowboy. Li Han said with a smile. "I've heard occasionally, Han, that horseback riding is quite interesting. "Of course, you're going to love it. Li Han said with a smile.
After spending the afternoon in the pasture, the two girls had a great time, riding horses and learning to drive a tractor, milking Dinah, feeding the lambs, cleaning the cowshed and sheepfold, and carrying the feed. Jem and Hughton drove a big tractor back with bales of hay, and Han Ximin and Li Xi followed Li Han back to the small farm.
Go back, all the way to talk about the afternoon, will go to the small building, Dudu woke up, riding Xiaobai and the white wolf to play a horse riding game, seeing my father and sister come back, riding a calf to meet the past. The next day, Han Ximin and Li Xi played for a day, milking cows, rowing, fishing, picking vegetables, helping Dudu sell vegetables, planting vegetables, riding horses, driving cattle, driving tractors to plow the land, barbecue, and having fun. Especially Han Ximin actually liked to shoot targets, Li Han played with both the revolver and the shotgun, and Li Xi's face turned white with fright.
Li Han said that it was okay, went to the town for a walk, rushed to the weekend music performance in the central square, the country band, the atmosphere was very good, and at noon in the town to eat fast food, buy small souvenirs, cow bones, deer bones, horns and other small carvings and pendants.
Cowboy hats and jeans, Li Xi and Han Ximin chose a few, the gadgets were particularly fun, Han Ximin said and brought them back to his classmates. On the third day, Li Han sent the two back, and the two were very reluctant and had a good time, sending Han Ximin and Li Xi away.
The farm was restored to calm, and a small vegetable garden was opened to grow space with huàn seeds, and Li Han considered Han Ximin's and Li Xi's words about the development of farm tourism. Li Han Farm now relies on cattle and sheep breeding, the profit cycle is quite long, although the start is very good, but the price of cattle and sheep has been affected by Wall Street, it is not as good as a million profits in tourism.
It's just that the farm infrastructure is not very good, and there are not many characteristics in tourism development, Li Xi mentioned that Li Han made a Chinese home and received Chinese students to know that in recent years, the number of Chinese students studying abroad has increased every year, in addition to the farm tourism project, focusing on Chinese elements, Li Han thought that he could try this, build a few Chinese-style thatched pavilions, small buildings, plant bamboo, and have more Chinese elements. The ingredients can be the original taste of China, the best special dishes, dishes that are not available in other houses.
Li Han thought in his heart that he could try it, but the phone rang, and Weili called, saying that the Chris hunting ground would open tomorrow, and he asked Li Han to go hunting. "Okay, do you need to prepare something?" "Horses and hounds, shotguns, I heard that there are more than a dozen wild boars, Han, hey, it's exciting." ”
"No problem, forget the wild boar, it's good to be able to hunt the hare a few times. "I have accompanied Li Xi and the two of them in the past two days, I forgot about the hunting ground of Jì Chris, the horse is easy to find, the little red date is good, the hunting dog, Li Han scratched his head a little, turned around and went to the space to take a look, no, I made up a number with the white wolf.
