Li Han pinched his chin and looked up and down, and nodded his little head with satisfaction, not bad, not bad, small top hat, floral little skirt, small leather shoes, what a beautiful little lady. Dudu pouted, unhappy, the little girl changed a lot of clothes, Li Han smiled and pinched Dudu's little nose. "Okay, Dudu is the most beautiful, did you bring a gift?"

Speaking of gifts, Dudu was happy, and nodded his little head vigorously. "Doodoo is ready. The gift was packed, Dudu carried it on her back, and took her father's hand to go out, Michelle invited Dudu to her birthday party, Michelle's ranch was not far from Li Han's farm, Michelle's grandfather Anderson, was a stubborn German, a hardcore Republican supporter, and very opposed to non-white immigrants, Li Han and Anderson only met a few times and were not familiar, and they were a little surprised by Anderson's invitation.

On the table, the United States is a country that advocates racial equality, and any racist behavior or speech in public will be condemned. But in reality, whites and people of color, especially newcomers, are very careful to keep their distance. The social circle is completely incompatible, this time Cider

PressParty is a gathering of the wealthy white class, a total of about 200 people, mostly farmers and ranchers, some good friends and the like, Li Han drove a pickup truck to the parking lot, and the ranch was trimmed and leveled on the lawn, about the size of two football fields, enough to park a car.

Li Han's pickup truck docked, Xiao Dudu hugged it, and the white wolf jumped down and followed Dudu, Dudu's big bodyguard. "Daddy, toot gifts. "Got it. "Li Han took the gift, it was some domestic gadgets, bought and loaded the space to bring it over, the mountain wood carved basket, like a plate, lifted a circle and fell, into a basket shape, the price is not expensive, there is a set of books, two small gifts.

Anderson, the owner of the party, owns a lot of ranches and apple orchards, more than 50,000 acres of land, and is one of the largest landowners in Kemixing Town, and the party is held on the ranch lawn. Li Han led Dudu over, and when Xiao Michelle saw Dudu coming, she ran over, and the two little guys hugged each other intimately.

Li Han handed the gift to Dudu and gave it to Xiao Mi Xue'er, Michelle opened it on the spot, and the wood carved basket was really beautiful and interesting, and Xiao Mi Xue'er liked to cheer very much. "Wow, it's so beautiful, thank you. "Well, Dad went back to Grandma's house to buy it, and it's a gift from Dudu. ”

Dudu gave the book Jane and a big foot, Michelle tilted her little head in confusion, and the big foot. "Dudu, this is a big-footed girl, chubby and so strange. Shujian and Bigfoot, nodded their heads and pulled their fathers. "Dad said it's okay, right, Dad. Dudu looked back at his father and said, "The little one adores his father."

The surrounding guests were very puzzled, but before Li Han could speak, someone explained for Li Han. "There is no greater misfortune than not being satisfied, and nothing is greater than wanting to gain, so contentment is always sufficient, contentment is always happy, and self-knowledge and contentment are always happy." ”

Liu Ming said with a smile while holding the whiskey, Li Han shook his head with a wry smile, no wonder Anderson invited himself, mostly for Liu Ming's sake. "Nice gift, thank you, Han, for a whiskey?" "Of course, Mr. Anderson. Li Han took the whiskey and nodded at Liu Ming. "It's a good place, Han, what do you think? Liu Ming took a sip of the wine glass.

"Of course, Anderson Ranch has been inherited for three generations, with a history of hundreds of years, and the houses here can be regarded as antiques. Li Han and Liu Ming came to register as visitors, Li Han's name was written on a sticker, pasted on his chest and greeted the guests, walked to a quiet small wooden bridge, there were some haystacks around it, Li Han and Liu Ming sat down, Liu Ming said with a smile. "Han, the apples here taste good, why don't you have some?"

Not far away, there were four or five large boxes on the lawn, filled with all kinds of apples, and on the side were big buckets, big juicers, Dudu and Michelle, Rem, and more than a dozen little ones were busy washing apples and squeezing juice. "Of course, I think that such a good apple must have a good price in China. ”

Liu Ming smiled and nodded. "Hehe, it's pretty good, you know there are a lot of rich people in China, and the price of good quality apples is a little higher, but they actually sell better, isn't it?" "Congratulations, this is really a good business." "Li Han really can't understand it, Liu Ming has his shadow everywhere, what a strange person.

"It's too boring to say this, Han, I'm going to open a horse farm, how about it, are you interested? Liu Ming put down the wine glass, Li Han looked up and down, and Liu Ming shook his head slightly. "There are enough horse farms in the United States, and I am not interested in this troubled water. ”

"No, no, Han, you misunderstood, I want to say that in the suburbs of Beijing, I have a small farm, maybe it can be converted into a horse farm, the horse farm has been quite good in the past two years. Liu Ming smiled and shook his head.

"The suburbs of Beijing, the place is good, but most of the Anderson Ranch is full of sheep, and there are not many Quartmar, I will build yì You go to Milton, or Laura Ranch, there are not many of them, you can go to the little flower hat to see." Li Han said that Anderson Ranch raises sheep, there are tens of thousands of sheep, meat sheep and sheep, hundreds of alpacas, grass and mud horse beasts, although there is a horse farm, most of the bloodlines are not very good, Liu Ming took the high-end route, and the purchase of horses is at least better Quart.

"Han, maybe you can try to raise some horses, what do you say?" Liu Ming shook the wine glass in his hand, and Li Han frowned. "I need to think about it. "For financial problems, I can give some or calculate the deposit, of course, the cooperation is not bad, I have no problem." ”

The more doubts Li Han had in his heart, Liu Ming's conditions were too good, Li Han didn't know that he had such great charm or energy. "What a tempting condition, well, upfront, a hundred quarts, I need a deposit of half a million dollars. ”

"Okay, no problem, Han, I think you should understand what I want. Liu Ming's eyes changed, and he shook his wine glass gently.

"No problem, I can't guarantee the best pedigree, but definitely the most comfortable horse to ride. Li Han knew in his heart that as long as he had a good head horse with a high IQ, it would definitely save time and effort in training.

"The faster you work together, the more toasts. Liu Ming smiled and raised his wine glass, Li Han touched it and drank the whiskey in the glass, stood up and said to Liu Ming. "I'm sorry, I'll go over first. "It's okay. Liu Ming said with a smile.

Li Han hugged Andre with a smile while holding a wine glass. "Uncle Andrey, how are you doing?" "Not bad, except for the damn pasture. Andre poured a glass of whiskey and patted Li Han on the shoulder. "Little Hank, yes, the new pasture is a success, congratulations. ”

"Thank you, I think the pasture will be fine, God will bless you. "Andre is a good person, Li Han chatted for a while and said. "Uncle Andrei, maybe I can help you. ”

André was in trouble, with withered pastures, insect infestations and droughts, and most small farms could not afford the increase in forage prices, selling cattle and sheep and even farms. "Thanks, Han, I'll fix it. "No, no, Uncle Andrei, it's in our good interest. ”

Li Han said that his other two neighbors, Glaserman Pasture Li Han did a good job, Dudu helped, most of the insects were eliminated, and the other two families sent people to sign a free rental grassland contract with Li Han, and for six months, Li Han undertook to remove pests and weeds. "Thank God, Han, I'm going to have a drink with you, that's great news. ”

"Andrei, you've made a noise, maybe I shouldn't have invited you over. Anderson was slightly displeased, and Andre said with a smile. "No, no, no, Anderson today is my lucky day, Han, it's my brother, hey. ”

Li Han looked at Anderson and really looked a little similar to Andre, but his personality was too different, and Li Han never thought of it. "I'm sorry, Han, Andre came with me, maybe it will help you. ”

"No, Anderson, Han has already solved the problem for me, we are about to have a drink, you have a drink. Andrei raised his glass. "Oh, Han is a nice young man, of course. Anderson looked at the young man in front of him, from a black worker to a good farm owner in just a few years, and it was worth a toast.

Li Han and Andre, the Anderson brothers had a drink, Andre was in a good mood and introduced his family to Li Han, Andre's son David, who is in college in New York, is a great young man, the youngest daughter is a blonde little beauty, eleven or twelve years old, curious to look at Li Han. "Oh, Han, is China fun?" "Of course, China is a great country like the United States, with 5,000 years of civilization and a vast territory. Li Han said with a smile.

Liss Oh, I asked again Is the Great Wall really long? Bruce Li didn't have much, Li Han answered one by one, Dolores was very happy, stretched out her little hand and said, Li Han shook it. "Han, we are friends, can you tell me more about China, David is reluctant to tell me this. ”

Li Han smiled and nodded. "Of course, oh, there's a little gift for you. Li Han took out a little foot and gave it to Dolores.

"Wow, that's lovely. "The chubby little foot pendant is very cute. "Thank you, Han. "It's just little feet. Dolores played with a teenage boy pouting.

Dolores was upset and pulled Li Han. "This is the most interesting gift I've ever received. "Thank you, I think I should tell you the story behind this gift. Li Han said with a smile.

Contentment and happiness come from the forty-fourth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, "What is the name and the body? The body and the goods are more, the gain and the death are the diseases, the love must be expensive, and the more hidden will be the death." Therefore, contentment is not humiliating, and knowing that it will not be destroyed, and it can last for a long time. Chapter 46, "There is a way in the world, but horses are dung, and there is no way in the world, and horses are born in the suburbs." There is no greater sin than desire, no greater guilt than desire, and no greater misfortune than discontentment. Therefore, the sufficiency of contentment is always sufficient. ”

Li Han translated, meaning, there is a way in the world, return the horse to the field to cultivate. There is no way in the world, and soldiers and horses gallop in the suburbs. There is no greater calamity than not knowing how to use a soldier, and there is no greater fault than the enemy's tricks to lure him. Therefore, the sufficiency of knowledge is the sufficiency of permanence.

"Wow, Han, is this really what the ancients said more than 2,000 years ago? That's great, Elmerton, do you hear that?" Doloris happily kissed the little foot in her hand, and pulled Li Han to continue listening to the story, contentment, many short stories, Buddhism and Taoism, and so on. "It's a good story, Han, it's a wonderful story. "Quite a few soft applause, yes, it's a good story.

You must know that many people do not know about China, the American people do not even know where Afghanistan or Iraq is, they are mysterious about China, and in recent years, they have more images such as money, and they do not even understand Chinese culture.

Li Han was distressed that Dolores followed him with a look of adoration, which was really happy and helpless, but fortunately, little Dudu came to rescue his father, Dudu washed the apples, squeezed a small bucket of juice, drank a big cup by himself, and brought a big cup to his father.

"Dad, the juice is delicious. "That's good, toot, this is Miss Dolores. "Oh, hello Sister Dolores. "Dudu is good, Dudu wants to call the little aunt." ”

Li Han shook his head helplessly, such a little girl, don't make trouble, Andre will kill himself. Liu Ming happened to come over and give Li Han a thumbs up. "Yes, I'm very discerning. ”

Li Han and Liu Ming were more familiar, and they snorted angrily at Liu Ming. "Han, let's have a beer. "German beer?" "Of course, it's rare that you forgot where the owner is from?"
