Chapter 35: Gossip in the Vegetable Garden
"Uncle is back. The baby sat in his brother-in-law's arms, riding a horse for a walk, and saw Uncle Li Han coming over in a pickup truck from a distance, waving his little hands excitedly.
"Dudu, do you want to eat the ice cream that my uncle bought? Li Han opened the car window and stretched out his head, smiled and patted the big convenience bag on the side of the car and said.
"Baby wants, baby wants. "This girl, okay, don't move, little man, you go back first, I'll go around again." The brother-in-law was afraid that the baby would move and startle the horse, so Li Han nodded.
"Brother-in-law, I'll go back first. Li Han drove the pickup back to George's small building, outside the yard his father was watering the flowers and pruning the branches and leaves, and on the other side his sister Li Mei was feeding milk to the two little lambs, more than ten pounds of small wool and fluff were very cute, and the baby and Dudu had one as a pet.
"What about Dad, Sister, Mom and Dudu?" asked Li Han, casually placing the things he bought on a long chair on the side. "Xiaohan, I'm back, Mom and Dudu went to the small vegetable garden to plant vegetables. Li Mei stood up and said.
"This girl doesn't know who to follow, she loves to grow vegetables and flowers so much. Li Han took out the ice cream and handed it to his father and sister.
"Hehe, let me, it's like you must not follow me, it's too cold, you can eat." Li Pinghe put down the kettle and waved his hand.
"Dad, sister, I'll send things in first. Li Han bought meat, fresh milk, ice cream and some things in the refrigerator, changed into work clothes and walked out of the small building. "Sister, Dad, I'll go to the back to see Dudu and Mom. ”
"Go ahead, I'll pick up the flowers, by the way, bring this thing to Dudu to eat, I don't like to eat it very much. Li Pinghe handed back the fresh milk ice cream that Li Han had just handed over to Li Han. "Dad, I'll take it, I'll go first. ”
Li Han rode a quad bike to the vegetable garden in the grove behind him, and saw Dudu pouting his little ass from a distance and pulling the soil to find earthworms and snails. "Dudu, where's grandma?" Li Han didn't see his mother, and was a little curious.
"Dad, grandma has filled the water, and Dudu has planted vegetables. Dudu put his little hands behind his back, and two little turkeys jumped at his feet and pecked at his little leather shoes. "Dudu is so capable, so good, go play. Li Han wiped the mud off Dudu's face, and the little guy's little face became a little cat again.
"Well, Dudu catches small insects and feeds them to the chicks, and grandma said that the chicks eat a lot of insects and grow up to lay eggs for Dudu to eat. "Hehe, yes, feed a lot of bugs, and the chicks will grow up quickly." Li Han touched Dudu's little head, and the little guy smiled and rubbed his father's big hand.
"Well, come on, chicks. Dudu went to catch the little bugs, and the two little turkeys followed him, and Li Han almost forgot to give the ice cream to Dudu. "Dudu, look what Daddy bought. Li Han took out the ice cream and shook it in front of Dudu.
"Ice cream. Dudu cheered and took it, tore it with his little hand, and dug it with a wooden spoon and stuffed it into his small mouth, beautiful. "Daddy eats. The little guy didn't forget to dig a spoon and handed it to Li Han. "Okay, really good, okay, Dad has eaten, Dudu eat it yourself. Li Han lowered his head and took a bite and said with a smile.
"Toot toot, toot toot. Zhang Xiuying called twice and walked over with a bucket. "Grandma, Daddy buys ice cream, Grandma eats. Dudu ran to grandma, dug up a spoonful of ice cream, and handed it to grandma Zhang Xiuying. "It's so good, grandma doesn't eat it, let's eat it. "Oh. "Dudu deflated little mouth, Li Han said. "Mom, you taste it, it's good. "Well, it's delicious, Grandma. Doodoo blinked, his eyes widened in anticipation.
"Okay, grandma, it's delicious, okay, grandma Dudu has eaten. Zhang Xiuying lowered her head and took a bite, she was happy, showing a smiling face, and she nodded her little head and took a big bite of ice cream, Zhang Xiuying's eyes were slightly red and a little moist. "Mom, I'll help you carry water, you rest. ”
"It's okay, I'm not in my seventies and eighties anymore. Zhang Xiuying glanced at her son, the corners of her mouth showed a full smile, her son became sensible, her little granddaughter was very well-behaved, and it would be better if she had a daughter-in-law. "Xiaohan, what are you going to do about Dudu's mother?"
"Mom, I'll take care of this myself, don't worry about it. Li Han said while helping Zhang Xiuying water the vegetables he had just planted. "You kid, okay, I don't care about this, by the way, do you still remember our Aunt Wang next door?"
"Aunt Wang, is it Aunt Wang who quit her job as a teacher a few years ago and sells clothes?" Li Han put down the water scoop and said with some doubts. "But no, you don't know that your Aunt Wang has made a lot of money in the past few years, and this is not Xiaoxue going to be sent to the United States to study. ”
"Little snow, little slug?" Li Han thought of a little girl with a little snot, two pigtails, and big eyes.
"What a slug, she's a big girl now, but she's beautiful. Mother snatched the water scoop from Li Han's hand and glanced at her.
"Well, come to the United States, have time to come to Montana, I'll entertain her as an older brother. "Li Han didn't take it too seriously, he has been a neighbor for many years, and besides, Li Xue's little girl hasn't seen her for seven or eight years, maybe people don't remember her.
"You, you really don't remember Xiaoxue, this girl asked your brother last time. After pouring the water in the bucket, Zhang Xiuying clapped her hands and stood up. "By the way, Mom, it's time for Li Xue to go to college, which university are you going to go to?"
"University of Montana, or what else I said, it's not easy for a little girl to come to the United States, you have to take care of it more as an older brother. Zhang Xiuying carried a bucket and planned to fetch water.
"University of Montana, why did this girl think of this, isn't her grades very good?" Li Han took the bucket in Zhang Xiuying's hand, looking puzzled. "You kid, how good Xue'er's grades are, the first in the city, and the top few in the province. ”
"It's strange that such good grades don't choose a better school. Li Han took the bucket and turned to leave, still a little puzzled, almost going to the wrong place.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been tinkering in the small vegetable garden for a long time, and finally the vegetables planted today have been watered. "Mom, you go back first, I'll go to the pond in front of me. "Alright, let's go back with Grandma." ”
"Mom, toot I take it, it's okay. Dudu didn't want to go back, Li Han said when he saw it. "Well, don't stay too long, we'll have dinner later. ”
"Got it, Mom. "Dudu followed his father, and the two little turkeys followed Dudu closely, and the little turkey regarded Dudu as his mother, and when he was hungry, he looked for Dudu to eat. Li Han took Dudu's little hand and came to the pond, the small lake in the back mountain.
"Luckily, the lake is still well watered. "There is no problem with the water for the crops on the farm, Li Han is relieved, and when he comes home, his father is cooking. "Dad, why is it so fragrant?" "Hehe, you're not yelling to eat Zhenzi noodles, isn't this what your dad is doing." ”
Zhang Xiuying pulled Dudu to change Dudu's clothes, and the little guy spent an afternoon planting vegetables and dirty clothes. "Really, it's so fragrant, I haven't eaten it for a long time, it's weird. ”
"Uncle is a gluttonous cat. The baby said shyly
"Yes, yes, the baby is not a little gluttonous cat, next time I see my uncle buy you ice cream to eat." Li Han said with a smile and teasing the baby
"Hmph, uncle, big villain. The baby pouted.
"Baby's sister is bad, Dad is good. "Pouting like a little du, I'm upset, saying bad things about my father and my sister.
