Chapter 143: On the Bug Paradise

"Han, can you wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you. Cynthia panted and chased out, Li Han stopped, a little puzzled, Cynthia was looking for something to do. "Mom, you get in the car first, I'll talk to Cynthia and come back. Li Han opened the car door, and Zhang Xiuying waved his hand. "Isn't it, baby and Dudu, you can say it, I'll go to the supermarket in front to buy some beef." ”

Li Han followed Cynthia to the bench not far away and sat down. "Cynthia, what's the matter, isn't Dudu and the baby naughty?" "No, Han, Dudu and the baby are the best students, yes, the kindergarten plans to have an outdoor class observation class this week, but the kindergarten lawn has just been trimmed, and there are too few lawn bugs, I heard Dudu say that you have a grassland with a lot of bugs, can you borrow it for a day." ”

"No problem, just talk to Dudu. Li Han said with a smile, thinking it was a big deal. "Thank you, Han, you are such a generous gentleman. Cynthia was very happy and said that the outdoor observation class and insect class that had been planned two days ago had been postponed for a few days.

"You're too kind, tomorrow? I'll have some snacks for you. Li Han doesn't care much about these, and there are a few more little guys. "Thank you so much, tomorrow you have time, let's go over and not disturb your work. ”

"It's okay, it's just a day, it's out of the way. Li Han said yes to Cynthia, got up and left, and Cynthia sent Li Han out of the school gate. "Cynthia, you have something to do, I'll go back first, call me before I come tomorrow, and I'll make arrangements." ”

"Yes, Han, thank you again for your generosity. Cynthia is a good teacher, Li Han went out of the school gate and came to the supermarket along the road to help his mother buy beef and some daily necessities, which was rare once.

Li Han accompanied his mother to go shopping, buy some clothes, and autumn came. The weather is getting cooler, add some clothes, the price is not expensive, it's good. "Mom, why don't you let Dad come over, quit your job at school, and the family is not short of so much money. ”

"Your father's temper, you don't know it, he usually speaks very kindly, but it can involve issues of principle. It's useless to persuade anyone, wait another two years, your dad will retire, and then talk about it. "Mom's clothes were folded and put away, and I carried them, passing by the second-hand store.

Li Han paused for a moment and said to his mother. "Dudu and the baby have some new clothes, they can't be worn when they're small, so I'll take them and donate them to the store tomorrow." Maybe there are people in need. Li Han said that the owner of this second-hand store, Li Han is quite familiar, a middle-aged woman. Chubby, not tall, Latino, very kind. Li Han used to come here often to buy some cheap goods, and often met some kind residents to donate clothes, Li Han received a lot of free clothes at that time. Some of the stuff is pretty good. It didn't work much, it was cheaper than new.

"That's okay, there is no child in the family who is younger than Dudu and the baby, Xiaohan, you tell your mother the truth, Jennifer is not Dudu's mother, I see it. "Mom stared at Li Han, Li Han really didn't know what to say about this. "Mom, don't worry about this, I'll take care of it. ”

Zhang Xiuying sighed and said. "Forget it, you can make your own decision, it's up to you. Li Han cried and laughed, this matter is not clear.

"Oh, Han, long time no see, are you okay?" said Heaney, buying vegetables and pushing the door open.

"It's not bad, Heaney, how are you here?, this is my mother, just came to the United States, and I'm learning English" Li Han followed Heaney into the store, Zhang Xiuying followed in and looked at the small store, there were a lot of things, clothes, shoes, all kinds of daily necessities, foreign pots, everything, the grocery store yes, densely piled up. Heaney greeted Zhang Xiuying, said with a smile, and gave her mother a 20% discount.

The price is marked on it, most of them are three or four dollars, and Li Han selected some tools, and the prices are relatively new, only less than one-third of the price. "Jenny, I have some children's clothes, they are smaller, I will wash them and bring them to you tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Han, you are such a kind person. Heaney's tools were packed in the box and handed to Li Han. "Hopefully I can help someone in need, Heaney, I'll go first. "Goodbye Han, goodbye Han's mother. ”

Zhang Xiuying was amused, and she could still understand simple English. "Xiaohan, are the things in the store donated by the residents of the town?" "Some are, some are sold to Heaney, the price is very cheap, you don't need it at home, you can throw it away, most people wash it and send it over, maybe someone needs it." ”

Second-hand stores are quite common in the United States, and there is no shame in visiting second-hand stores, as well as discount stores, all kinds of cheap stores. "The people here are really environmentally friendly, and it's much better than throwing them away in China. "It's a shame to throw away what you can use, and you might be able to use it if you give it to someone else." ”

Li Han beef and a large shopping bag were put in the car, opened the car door, and waited for the mother to fasten her seat belt and drive back to the farm, but Dudu and the baby were not there at noon. There were only two mothers in the family, so they fried two small dishes and stewed a pot of beef.

On the other side, Dudu and the baby are eating a big meal with Jennifer, snails and lobsters, Dudu loves to eat, and Jennifer also likes snails and lobsters very much. "Pandora eat more. "Jennifer took care of Dudu without forgetting the other little guest.

The two little ones have recently loved Jennifer here, the lobster, the snails, and also the meat, as well as the pudding and ice cream cake. Jennifer intends to teach Dudu and the baby Western food etiquette, the two little ones finished lunch in a proper manner, and they were going to help the aunt clean up the dishes, Jennifer stopped the two little guys. "Dudu, baby, come, sit here, Ilah. "Oh. Doodoo and the baby looked back and followed Jennifer to the living room.

Jennifer took out the new contract and read it to Dudu, Dudu blinked his eyes wide, nodded his little head from time to time, the baby pouted, and Aunt Jennifer said that the baby couldn't understand. Li Han here, is busy harvesting walnuts, these days to fight down, check some garage walnut machine, walnut machine is very simple machinery, automatic induction inverter generator, picking rod, pay-off, picking rod four to eight meters like.

The top is a mechanical head, made of beef tendon sheets, which can rotate 360 degrees to knock down pecan fruits. Li Han This is the teacher playing walnut machine, hanging on the tractor and pulling it out, overhaul it, the mechanical head, some rust, decades old, no matter how good the package is, there will always be some bad cuò. After checking it, many places had to be repaired, and Li Han called Kaidi.

It didn't take long for Cady to arrive in a maintenance car. "Han, this guy is really old enough, fortunately there are some scrap parts, and it took me a lot of effort to find them. The Kaidi parts were handed to Li Han and the tools were taken down casually. "The walnut forest is so big, it's too wasteful to buy a new machine, Kaidi, I'm sorry for you. ”

There are several walnut machines, Li Han can't repair them, you can only find professional maintenance workers, Kaidi tools are much more advanced than Li Han tools, and after a while, the whole walnut machine will be disassembled. Li Han cleaned the parts, Kaidi checked it, worked for more than two hours, replaced the new parts, oiled it, and started it. "Yes, Cady, thank you very much. Li Han's bill was settled, and Kaidi answered the phone. "Han, Yuri's walnut machine also needs to be repaired, I'll go over first. ”

Li Han sent Kaidi out of the farm, returned home, drove the walnut machine to the walnut forest on the hillside, and started the machine. After half an afternoon of hard work, my mother was amazed to see it, and it was the first time I saw the machine playing walnuts. "The United States is really capable, everything is plucked with a machine, I heard people say that carrots are pulled with a machine. ”

Li Hanji stopped and picked up some walnuts to see. "The United States is a big place, a family grows thousands of acres of land, there is no machine, where can I be busy, I am still an old antique from decades ago, a new type of walnut machine, dozens of acres of walnuts in an afternoon have already been beaten. ”

The walnuts are loaded with a machine, pulled back and peeled first, peeling is easy, the machine is open, drying is even simpler, the dryer is busy at night, and I almost forgot about the beer house. I hurriedly took a shower, changed my clothes, and rushed to the beer house, where several guests were in front of the door. "I'm really sorry, I was busy harvesting walnuts today, I forgot about it, I invite everyone to have a drink. Li Han said to the three people waiting in front of the door.

A few people were very happy, Li Han sent a cup of morning dew alone, and the three of them ordered another cup of Youlan, sitting in a corner talking and chatting. Li Han began to be busy, the oak beer glass was hanging, there were quite a lot of people at night, most of them were Chris Manor tourists, there were not many people in the town, the price of beer was too expensive, and you could buy more than ten glasses of ordinary beer.

"Jennifer, Lenna, good evening. Li Han beckoned to Dudu, and Dudu ran over. "Dad. "Don't make a fuss, go back quickly. Li Han knocked on his little head, and Jennifer frowned.

"Well, goodbye Mom. Dudu said goodbye to Jennifer and obediently left the beer hut, and Li Han stipulated that Doodoo and the baby could not enter the beer hut. "Han, I don't think you should be just knocking on the doo. ”

"Oh, thank you, Jennifer, I know what I'm going to do again, I'm going to have a cup of Orchid. Li Han asked while pouring water for Lingna, Li Han always felt that Jennifer was going to snatch himself away, especially recently, Jennifer has more and more opinions about Li Han, especially on the issue of Dudu's education.

A few times it was unpleasant, Jennifer snorted. "A glass of orchid. Ignoring Li Han, he turned around and left, and sat down when he came to the seat where he often sits. "Han, Jennifer is actually a pretty good person, maybe you can talk about it, Jennifer really likes Pandora. ”

"I know, thank you, Lingna, do you want a glass of juice?" Li Han squeezed some watermelon juice, and the watermelons grown in the space tasted better than ordinary watermelons. "Thanks, I'll just drink water, I'll go first. ”

Lena paid the money and walked over to Jennifer with Yulan and sat down. "Jennifer, just now Han said a way to get closer, didn't Pandora like it very much?" "Lenna, I know, it's weird. Jennifer shook her head suspiciously, just now, the words naturally came to her mouth, and it seemed that she had an instinctive rejection of Dudu getting close to Li Han, it was really a strange feeling, and this feeling had become stronger and stronger recently.

Li Han thought about it here, Jennifer and Dudu were getting closer and closer, I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, I didn't want to argue with Jennifer, but Jennifer's tone always made her feel angry. (To be continued......)
