Chapter 252: The Pumpkin Festival

The thick-skinned winter melon is a big head, no less than thirty or forty pounds, it is not easy to carry, the only man Li Han can be regarded as the only laborer in the family, especially a few little guys can't move one for half a day, there is no way, only Li Han comes. "Dudu took my sister to pick a little pumpkin, and here Dad will get it. ”

Li Han saw that his face was red and tired when he was carrying twenty or thirty pounds of winter melons, and he smiled and pointed to the small pumpkin field on the hillside not far away, and pouted, stinky winter melon. "Well, Dudu picks a little pumpkin and paints a flower face. "Okay, I'll pick it in a while, and we'll draw the flowers." ”

Li Han touched Dudu's little head, the hairpins were crooked, his forehead was sweating, and the butterfly hairpins were really beautiful. "Dad, isn't Mommy back yet?" asked Dudu as she tilted her little head and looked at her dad who had helped her comb her hair and clip her hairpin.

"Mom just called, and I'll be over in a moment, and by the way, Mom has brought a gift for Dudu. Li Han smiled and picked up the winter melon and put it in the cart.

Dudu's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Dudu went to wait for Mom. ”

The little guy got up and was about to run in front of the farm, and he didn't see his mother for some days. "Mom just came back and wants to rest for a while, okay, Dudu, let's pick the pumpkin first, and make pumpkin pie and pumpkin pie later, Mom can eat it when she comes." ”

"Well, toot picking a bunch of pumpkins. After the little guy finished speaking, he pulled Maria and the baby, and the three little ones ran to the little pumpkin garden with a loud cry, where the pumpkin knew that the head was big, but there were a lot of them, especially the pumpkin seedlings withered, revealing a small pumpkin with a big red head. It's pretty.

"Slow down, don't fall. "Mom was very happy to see a few little ones running around and playing around. There are few counties in China that have such a big place, and at most they take a walk. Coming to the United States, my own farm, the boss place, Dudu and the baby played and ran around.

The old lady said with a little headache. "Mom, look at how long the baby has been here. I'm about to become a little crazy girl. "Sister, child, it's all about playing at this age. Li Han pushed the cart over. Zhang Xiuying agreed. "Now parents are patronizing their children and hoping that their children will become dragons, and they don't want to think about their children. ”

The old lady who was picking winter melons was slightly stunned. That's a good statement. can be said from her mother's mouth, Li Mei is a little in a trance. "Mom, when did you make such a big progress in your thinking? "Go, boy, when am I going to take care of your siblings' studies?" ”

The old lady pursed her lips and said. "That's Mom's student who prefers you, Xiaohan and I didn't suffer much when we were young, and you and Dad are workaholics. "Little man. Look at what your sister said, when you were a child, your sister was naughtier than you. Caused me and your dad a lot of trouble. ”

The old lady seemed to remember something, and her face flushed. "Mom, Xiaohan, how did you finish eating so many winter melons and pumpkins?" "Winter melons can be left for a while. Li Han had a little headache, the pumpkin was okay, and he could sell some of it to the town, and then give some to his friends.

But the winter melon is difficult to do, but the residents of Mixing Town are not very cold to the winter melon, and they use it to make winter melon sauce a little too much. "Why don't you talk to Jennifer about whether the supermarket can sell some. "That's the only way, Jennifer came over in a while, and I asked, who would have thought that the knot would be so big." ”

"Where are there still many melons that people dislike, this kid, but the winter melons are really not small. Zhang Xiuying said. "No, this is not a chemical fertilizer, this is not a green vegetable in China. Aunt Xu said jokingly.

"What is this, Mom, you didn't look at the pumpkin just now, that scary, little man, the big pumpkin has hundreds of pounds. Li Mei said.

"The largest ones are estimated to be four or five hundred pounds. Li Han said, but these big pumpkins don't taste necessarily delicious.

"My mom, she's so big. "Aunt Xu thought it weighed more than 100 pounds. "Hehe, this is not big, there were a few giant pumpkins weighing thousands of pounds in the pumpkin competition last year, and that head is really big. ”

Li Han saw it once, more than 800 catties of large pumpkins, compared to the pumpkins grown on the farm, it is not a giant pumpkin variety, and it is much smaller. "How many days do you have to eat such a big pumpkin? "These pumpkins are either shared with everyone to eat, or they are made as decorations to participate in the pumpkin festival, and when it comes to eating, I really haven't seen anyone make such a big pumpkin." ”

Li Han put the cart and took the winter melon in his mother's arms. "This winter melon is quite fun. "Hey, it's a bit like a pig. "Li Mei is happy, the big winter melon is like a little fat pig. "It's quite like. Mom and Aunt Xu took a closer look and nodded in unison.

Li Han said with a smile. "I'll go back in a while, carve it a little, and get a pig's nose out, just tomorrow's pumpkin festival, maybe the pig's head winter melon can be brilliant." "Li Han pig's head winter melon put aside.

Mom said. "If you want to say that the United States is really good at playing, pumpkins, winter melons, corn stalks are everywhere, in the morning I drove to the town with your Aunt Xu to buy vegetables and saw a lot of pumpkins on the side of the road, and the paintings were colorful. ”

Li Han sees it every year, this time is not far from Halloween, the pumpkin festival starts in the past few days, and it continues until Halloween, but Mixing Town is like this every year, starting from October until the New Year, the festival season.

In particular, the rat infestation is not light, and the townspeople urgently need a unique pumpkin festival to dispel the shadow of rodent infestation and flu. "Yes, I've only seen it on TV, little man, should we get some? ”

Li Han nodded. "Okay, I just haven't had anything to do lately, but I've learned a little from Tom in previous years, and I'll wait for a few little guys to pick pumpkins and come back, and Dudu and the baby have been painting pumpkins for a long time. "Hehe, my baby has been fond of drawing lately. ”

Two carts were piled up. "Mom, is that enough to make winter melon sauce?" "It's enough, but what if there are so many winter melons in the field." "It doesn't matter, I think a few seedlings can live for a week or two. ”

Zhang Xiuying frowned. "I'm afraid the weather will freeze bad. "Mom, you forgot that this is a thick-skinned winter melon, look at how thick the skin is, it's okay, it's not snowy and it's not bad." "That's good. "Mom is very worried, it is not easy to grow it, and it will be bad if it is wasted.

Li Han and Li Mei pushed the cart back to the small building, and the winter melon was placed by the pool, and it was peeled and soaked in water for a while, which was used to make winter melon sauce and pickled winter melon. "Sister, I'll come, you can rest. "It's okay, more work, little man, I just heard you say that Dudu's mother is coming, right?"

Li Mei asked in a low voice while carrying the winter melon, and Li Han nodded. "I'm going to come over to see Dudu in a while, sister, it's the first time you've seen each other. "But no, I didn't catch up last time I went back, I saw the photo, it's beautiful, how are your feelings, Xiaohan?"

Li Han paused slightly and looked back at the old lady. "Sister, it wasn't your mother who asked you to ask. "No, no. Li Mei waved her hand again and again, her eyes flickering. "Jennifer and I are just regular friends. ”

"How can it be a general friend, Dudu was not born to Jennifer. Li Mei glared, don't look at Li Meirou and weak, glaring, Li Han was really a little trembling, when he was a child, he taught Li Mei's sister a lesson, you must know that her mother and father were busy with work at that time, and Li Han was taken care of by this sister most of the time.

Li Hanzhen didn't know how to explain it, so he nodded, and Li Mei patted Li Han. "Xiaohan, you are not small, how can you say that you have to take responsibility, you have to think more about Dudu, you can't find a stepmother for Dudu. ”

"Sister, but Jennifer and I. Li Hangang wanted to explain, and the sound of a car motor sounded outside the courtyard. Li Han stood up and looked at it, and smiled bitterly, you said that this time was too coincidental. Lena parked the car, and Jennifer and Lena walked over with the gifts.

Li Han beckoned to Wang Wang's call for Xiao Li, and rubbed Xiao Li's head melon seeds. "Jennifer, Lenna, good morning. "Good morning, Han. Jennifer and Li Han had a strange conversation, and Lena couldn't help but laugh.

The old lady didn't pay attention to this, and looked at Jennifer vigorously, she was really tall, Jennifer was one meter eighty-three tall, only a few centimeters shorter than Li Han, and she was a relatively tall girl. Li Mei is nearly 1.7 meters, and she usually doesn't feel short, but in such a comparison, she looks a little shorter. Jennifer's skin is a little pale, her face is slightly pale, and she is a little soft in her beauty, which does not match the character that Li Han said.

Jennifer frowned slightly when she saw the bespectacled woman in the opposite side of her, about twenty or thirty years old, staring at herself. "Hello, I'm Jennifer. "Hello, hello. Li Mei was slightly stunned, not thinking that Jennifer spoke Chinese.

Li Han introduced the two, and Jennifer handed over the gift, but Li Mei was embarrassed not to prepare the meeting gift. "Xiaohan, why didn't you say it earlier, I wasn't prepared. "It's okay, sister, I'm ready, put it in my room, a cheongsam." ”

Li Han whispered, and Li Mei nodded. "Jennifer, come in and sit down. Li Mei took the gift, but she didn't care too much. "Xiaohan, you talk with Jenny, I'll pour tea. Li Mei said with a smile.

Jennifer sat down, Ling Na whispered something, Jennifer frowned, glared at Ling Na, Li Han was a little embarrassed by the old lady. "Jennifer, I'm sorry, my sister is more welcoming. ”

Li Mei just pulled Jennifer again, and praised it again, not to praise Li Han a few words, which made it really a little embarrassing, no wonder Ling Na just wanted to laugh. "Coffee, little man, pour it for Jennifer. ”

Li Han reluctantly took the coffee pot and poured Jennifer and Lingna a cup of coffee first. "This is the Blue Mountain you gave last time, I haven't drunk it much, taste it, how did I cook it. Li Mei handed the dim sum to Jennifer and greeted her.

The more Li Mei looked, the more she liked it, I really hadn't seen such a beautiful girl, and she couldn't see a child born at all. "Eat more, Xiaohan got up early in the morning and made it. Li Han smiled helplessly, these snacks were really made by himself in the morning, but these were made for the two little guys, Dudu and Baobao, and this would become what the old lady made for Jennifer as soon as she said it.

Jennifer glanced at Li Han and tasted it. "Xie Lu Xie, Han, it tastes very good. "Yes, it's creamy and sweet. Ling Na said with a smile, Li Mei noticed Ling Na at this time, Ling Na is not cheesy, she has a heroic spirit, her face is ruddy, she is healthier than Jennifer, and she has a big chest and a good figure.
