Chapter 33: The Vegetable Garden and the Turkey

In half an hour, the open space of the forest was reclaimed, and the soil fertility looked very good, so it was no problem to grow some vegetables.

"Xiaohan, how is the soil turning?" asked his brother-in-law Zhou Bin when he jumped off the tractor.

"It's not bad, brother-in-law, how does it feel to drive this big guy?" Li Han said with a smile.

"It's okay, this big guy is very good. The brother-in-law patted the tractor wheel and said. "Xiaohan, such a big piece grows vegetables?"

"That's not necessary, let's just draw a circle and make a small vegetable garden to grow enough to eat. Li Han drove the tractor back to the garage, hung up the carriage and drove his brother-in-law Zhou Bin to the storage room to transport some wooden planks, took a saw, hammer, nail and shovel, and drove the tractor back to the woods. "Uncle, the baby is in the car. "Uh-huh, Daddy, toot is sitting. "Two little guys, Li Han stopped the tractor, and one of them held a little guy and put it in the car.

"Sit down and let's go. "The sound of the sudden motor, the tractor carrying the two big and the second small four people and full of tools came to the woods and fields, tools, planks, and stakes should be carried down, but it was the turn of the two little guys, worried, the baby was reluctant to come down, and he had to drive, and he had a headache for Li Han.

"Baby, come down and help Daddy get the plank. "Brother-in-law really has a way, as soon as the baby heard that he could help his father do things, he obediently jumped off the tractor, and said with his little hand. Dudu also helped Dad with the plank. ”

The two little guys can pull the plank hard, where is the help, complete trickster, Dudu pulls the top or the top of the long plank, brother-in-law Zhou Bin also sighed that the children who grow up in the United States are different, the strength is big, but the baby on the side is envious, the small mouth pouts Lao Gao, hums and hums the little butt and pulls the plank as big as Dudu, and the little face is tired and red. "This kid is very strong. Brother-in-law Zhou Bin took the girl with a smile and pulled the wooden board and said.

"Dudu, dad is enough here, Dudu and his sister catch earthworms and go back to feed the chickens. Li Han and his brother-in-law pulled the rope to carve out an acre of space, and the four corners used a hammer to hit small wooden stakes and the rope was tightened, and they began to busily saw the planks and make fences.

The two adults are busy, the planks are sawed into small pieces, and the two villains are playing in the field, looking for snails and earthworms, and going back to feed the chickens. Dudu asked Li Han for two small bottles, the two little guys squatted in the ground, pouting their little butts, looking for earthworms and small snails to stuff into the small bottles, lively and lively, every time they found a small earthworm, Dudu giggled happily, the baby began to see the wriggling earthworms scared and screamed, and did not dare to touch it, but after a while, the baby joined the fight for earthworms, regardless of the sticky and dirty little hands, the two little hands pinched the earthworms and stuffed them into the vials.

"Daddy, look, look, look, the baby caught a big earthworm. With a proud face, the baby raised the big earthworm with the thickness of his fingers and shouted to his father, who was busy aiming at the plank and sawing the plank. "It's really not small, no wonder the soil is so crisp and loose, it turns out that there are many earthworms. ”

"Maybe this was a place to dry cow dung before, but this thing is old and beautiful and eats it as a delicacy. Li Han put the sawn planks together, stood up, and walked to Dudu and the baby, the two little ones with small faces, dirty hands, riding boots full of mud, smiling like little cats, and shaking the small bottle in their hands. "There are a lot of earthworms here. "The bottle was almost full, and the fat earthworms were wriggling, protruding the mucus.

"Don't talk about Lao Mei, many people in China are clamoring for earthworms to be high in protein or something, grinding earthworm powder to eat, and the price is not cheap. The brother-in-law put the planks away, put the saw aside, and held Li Han's wooden stakes, and Li Han hit the ground with a hammer.

"This man has a better life, and he always likes to think about strange things. Li Han picked up the sledgehammer and hammered a wooden stake three times, and the brother-in-law took one after another, one after another, Dudu and the baby, the two little guys, caught a bottle of earthworms, and began to catch small snails, there were more snails in the grass, and the two little guys ran into the grass to catch snails. "Don't go far, Grandma will come and call us for dinner in a while. Li Han put down the hammer and rested for a while.

"There's no danger in the little man's bushes, right?" asked the brother-in-law, a little worried, holding on to the stake with one hand. "It's okay, the farm here has been a long time, and there is still a long way to go from the mountains, and usually you can see some white deer, rabbits, turkeys, and big beasts in the pasture, and they rarely appear around the farm houses. ”

The brother-in-law put his mind at ease, the two cooperated, and after a while, they laid more than ten wooden stakes, the time was not early, Li Han planned to clean up, go back to eat, and come back to get a small vegetable garden in the afternoon. "These two little things, play with the jì time. ”

Li Han and his brother-in-law walked along the grove for four or five minutes, and saw Dudu and the baby squatting in the grass, muttering chicken to eat. "Dudu, baby, stop playing, go back to eating. "Look, Daddy, the chicks are so pitiful. ”

Dudu and the baby surrounded the small bird's nest, the bird's nest had two meat balls, with a big mouth, and the brother-in-law Zhou Bin frowned when he saw it, what an ugly bird.

"It's a turkey, maybe we've reclaimed the land and disturbed the mother turkey. ”

"Uncle, can the baby raise chickens?" the baby and Dudu still held the earthworm bottle in their hands. "Of course, but you have to take good care of them, like your mother, can you do it?" asked Li Han.

"Well, Dudu catches a lot of earthworms and feeds them to the chicks. Dudu immediately puffed up his little chest and said, and the baby also promised to catch a lot of earthworms to feed the chickens, take good care of the chickens, and play with the chickens. "Okay, let's take the chicks home, toot, baby, you take care of the chicks yourself on the way. ”

"Xiaohan, I'll forget it. The brother-in-law looked at the baby and Dudu, where would the two little ones take care of the chicks, and they couldn't take care of them themselves.

"It's okay brother-in-law, the child likes it, and besides, Dudu and the baby are not small, learn how to take care of small animals. ”

Li Han and Zhou Bin, Dudu and the baby walked back, Dudu and the baby were holding a small turkey, cautious, afraid of disturbing the little guy in their hands. Back in the small building, my mother had already prepared lunch and waited, and Li Han called Dinah and Hughton to introduce them. "Hughton, my dad doesn't understand English very well. "It's okay, Han, thank you so much, Madame invited us to the family dinner. ”

"Hehe, it's just a homely meal, nothing delicious, let's try it and see if it tastes good. Li Han was in front of the translator, a meal at noon, eating Li Han's belly was round, not to mention Hughton and Dinah, Li Han's father's craftsmanship was passed down from his grandfather, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried lamb chops, stewed beef, all kinds of side dishes, not to mention how good the taste is, and also made a pot of medicinal soup, Hughton and Dina said that drinking this soup to nourish qi and health, and can also prevent diseases, they were very surprised, not to mention drinking an extra bowl.

"Speaking of this soup, it's really troublesome, it took a lot of work just to bring the medicinal herbs, and I almost didn't let me bring it. Li Heping said while pretending to be soup.

"Dad, cut it into slices and pack it, and you have an invoice to prove it, there are too many rules for this old beauty. Li Han didn't say, Americans know what Chinese medicine is, it is pseudo-scientific things, and there are plants and the like, but it is forbidden to carry them privately, Li Han has a plan in his heart, herbs may also be planted in the space, next time I go back to get some seeds back, put them in the space, the medicinal diet recipe passed down by my grandfather, it is good to keep it for myself.

At the end of lunch, Huton and Dinah thanked Li Han for inviting them over, said a few words and said goodbye, Li Han sent a few steps, and returned to the house, Dudu and the baby were helping Grandma clean up the dishes and chopsticks, two little guys, what to do and think about Bibi.

"Xiaohan, I don't think Americans are very open?" said her mother, Zhang Xiuying. "Oh, Mom, a lot of America is quite quiet, especially Montana, which is more conservative. Li Han saw that his sister was looking for a cardboard box to put a baby turkey, and Li Han walked over.

"Sister, I'll nail a wooden box in a while, and put some hay, these two little turkeys are quite pitiful. Li Han saw the two little guys who kept calling and said.
