Chapter Forty-Six: An Awkward Gathering
Back at the farm, my sister took the two little ones to change clothes and take a bath, and was complained by my mother that she was not afraid of being hot when she wore such thick clothes on a hot day. My sister will be more distressed than my mother, where can I refute it.
"Sister, change your clothes and eat watermelon, I just bought a watermelon. Li Han put the watermelon in the pool and ate it for a while, and the lettuce left in the ox cart Li Han mentioned that the house was sprinkled with some water, and it was a little dry in the afternoon.
"These old beauties are so stingy, they don't want to buy a handful of vegetables. Mom looked at the rest of the lettuce and pouted. "Mom, most people in the United States recognize the organic logo, and it's hard to say that if there is a problem with the vegetables sold by the two little guys, Dudu and Baobao. Li Han explained, a little unbearable to hit Dudu and the baby's enthusiasm, but in fact, who can't help it.
Li Han cut the watermelon, thought about the fruit and cut some to make a fruit smoothie, cool to relieve the heat, sure enough, Dudu and the baby prefer the cold and cold fruit smoothie, the mother and sister stopped a few times, and the two little guys patted the little belly and put down the little fork.
"These two children, little man, this watermelon tastes very good. "My sister just took care of the two little ones, and she brought a piece of watermelon to eat. "This is an organic watermelon, with no pesticides sprayed, and it tastes a little better than usual, but the price is higher. ”
Most of the watermelons that Li Han ate before were genetically modified, or ordinary watermelons, but he didn't have the money to buy high-priced organic watermelons, you must know that more than 75% of the United States are genetically modified crops, and most of the people eat genetically modified crops are made into food and snacks. Li Hanyi explained that his sister and mother couldn't believe it. "This old beauty also eats genetically modified food?"
"Hehe, most people don't pay much attention to these, only the rich care about whether they are genetically modified or not, and many ordinary people don't know much about it, or even know what genetically modified is. "But Mixing Town is relatively wealthy, and most of the people are not eating genetically modified food.
"I didn't expect the difference between the United States and China. Sister sighed, Li Han smiled, there is a difference, but most ordinary people really can't say that there is any difference. "Sister, I'm going to attend a charity party in the evening, Dudu and the baby I'll take over to play together, sister, you help the baby and Dudu change clothes. ”
"Aren't you eating at home?" said Mom.
Li Han took a piece of pineapple, stuffed it into his mouth, and said. "Let's eat some mats first, these parties really don't have anything to eat, drink and talk. ”
Mom pushed the fruit plate in front of her and said. "Don't drive at night, it's dangerous to drink and drive. "I see, Mom. "The fruit is really good, Li Han ate another piece. "Mom, you eat too. ”
Zhang Xiuying took the fruit plate handed to her son and put it aside and said. "I've eaten, and your dad and your brother-in-law will come back in a while, let them eat." "There's still it in the refrigerator, so let's cut it when my brother-in-law and dad come back." ”
Li Han talked to his mother, his brother-in-law and father came back, and his mother handed the fruit plate to his brother-in-law and father. "It's hot outside, and the fruit tastes good. The brother-in-law ate a slice of apple and said.
"Yes, it's good, little man, are Dudu and the baby back?" asked Dad as he ate the fruit.
"When I came back, my sister took them to change their clothes, and I took them to a party in the evening. Li Han helped his brother-in-law and father pour a cup of herbal tea, this afternoon is very hot, this will go out for horseback riding, brother-in-law is really capable, within two days to take my father to love horseback riding, every afternoon to go out for two laps.
Li Pinghe took his son's hand to Lai Herbal Tea and took a sip, frowned slightly and said, "Party? ”
"No, this is the largest farm in town, I may want to discuss the management of farm irrigation, talk, drink, it's okay. Li Han explained with a smile that there are many kinds of parties, and most of the parties on Xiao Wang's farm are very dull.
The brother-in-law smiled and said, "Isn't this like a party with our teacher, eating, and talking about things?" "Yes, brother-in-law is really like this, in fact, it is still a party held by young people, or a celebrity, a school party, and the nature of business is similar to that of a domestic wine table." ”
"What's good, those parties in the movie can't move at every turn, it's too messy. The brother-in-law pouted, after all, Li Han has participated in a few more hilarious parties, which is somewhat excessive, not good or bad, after all, marijuana is not prohibited in some states in the United States, and even many people feel that marijuana is better than cigarettes, and the moderate amount is not addictive, how good, it is still a plant, of course, organic or not, Li Han didn't inquire too much.
Li Han and his brother-in-law were talking, and my sister changed clothes for Dudu and the baby, and my sister and mother brought a lot of clothes this time. "Baby, toot, dress like a little princess. "Sister, just change into a little skirt, go play for a while and come back." ”
Li Han was a little helpless, and he didn't participate in any award ceremony, wedding, or dress up so gorgeously. "Well, let's change it after dinner, I think it's pretty good. "That's good. Mom said, Dudu and the baby, the two little ones, pouted. "But grandma, it's really long, it's so hot. "Yes, it's a hot day, it's changed. When Li Han saw that his mother heard her granddaughter say that it was hot, she immediately changed her words, crying and laughing.
Dinner was eaten a little earlier, and Li Han, who had changed into casual clothes, led a dress to Xiao Dudu and the baby to Xiao Wang Farm. The farm estate is brightly lit and you can see the waiters coming in and out from a distance. Li Han reported his name, and the waiter led him into the manor, and the party was on a huge lawn, with long tables, food and drinks, and there were more than a dozen waiters back and forth. Li Han took a look, not only the farmers of Kemixing Town, but also the surrounding towns.
There are some guests in the living room, it seems that guests from other places, Li Han did not bother without fun, and asked for a glass of red wine from the waiter who walked by, Li Han came to the food area and made some desserts for the two little guys, which tasted good, and Dudu and the baby liked it very much. "Dudu, baby, play here for a while, don't run around, you know?"
"Hmm. Dudu Guang ate the cake, very happy, obediently nodded his little head, Li Han arranged for Dudu and the baby to sit on a corner bench on the lawn, and walked to Andre and Ronald. "We, little Hank, are here. ”
"Uncle Andre, Uncle Ronald, good evening, Wilson. Li Han smiled and raised his wine glass, saying that Xiao Wang Farm is really willing, red wine tastes good, and such a good red wine rarely costs dozens of dollars or even hundreds of dollars.
"Han, how do you feel? Okay, I think you're excited to participate for the first time. Wilson said with a smile.
"Yes, Wilson, the wine here is really good, do you want a drink?" Li Han said lightly, Andre and Ronald smiled, Wilson invited Li Han to drink and talk about the pasture, Jack can spread it, Wilson's name of miserliness is getting louder and louder.
"Thanks, Ronald, Andre, Demir seems to have come to me, I'll go first, Han, have a nice day, of course, I think Hank will remember this wonderful evening. "Thank you. Li Han smiled and sent Wilson away, as the party continued, Li Han felt more and more uncomfortable, and it was not good to be vaguely excluded from the circle.
Marbury walked up to Li Han and patted Li Han on the shoulder. "Han, don't you feel a little uncomfortable, it's okay, have a glass of wine, maybe you feel better. Marbury and Li Han stand outside the mainstream circle, not to ignore it, but to be unclear and uncomfortable, values or mainstream thoughts, the two of them are unconsciously excluded, usually do not feel, but at this time they feel particularly obvious. Li Han began to lose all his little pride, and he was still an outsider, so he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Li Han's clothes were pulled, and he looked down to see that it was the baby. "Sister Dudu and the white-bearded old man left," the baby pointed to the living room and said, Li Han was slightly stunned. "I'm sorry, Uncle Marbury, I'll leave for a moment. ”
Marbury helped Li Han with the wine glass, Li Han led the baby into the living room quickly but didn't see Dudu, thinking about whether he had gone upstairs, Li Han was a little eager to go up to the second floor, but was stopped by two tall waiters. "Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" "Daddy. Dudu ran over from nowhere, and the little girl was holding a small plate with delicate snacks in her hand.
"Dudu, are you okay?" Li Han didn't see the old man the baby said, so he was curious, and asked this Dudu, and Dudu only said Grandpa Whitebeard Cake. "Let's go. Back on the lawn, Dudu shared his own snacks for the baby sister to eat, Li Han and Marbury stood behind everyone, the auction began, compared to the Harley charity auction, it was much more advanced here, hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars are common, Li Han originally wanted to buy one or two, tried to bid several times and failed, and gave up.
"Han, it's okay. "It's all right, Uncle Marbury, there's good wine here. Marbury said with a smile, the auction was over, everyone chatted, Uncle Ronald, Andre joined.
