Chapter 143: On the Bug Paradise

"Han, can you wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you." Cynthia was out of breath and chased after him. Li Han stopped, a little confused, what did Cynthia want from him. "Mom, get in the car first, and I'll be back after I talk to Cynthia." Li Han opened the car door, and Zhang Xiuying waved her hand. "Isn't it, about the baby and Dudu, please tell me well, I'll go to the supermarket ahead to buy some beef."

Li Han followed Cynthia to the bench not far away and sat down. "Cynthia, what's the matter, is Dudu and Baobao being naughty?" "No, Han, Dudu and Baobao are the best students, that's right, the kindergarten plans to have an outdoor observation class this week, but the kindergarten lawn has just been mowed , There are too few bugs in the lawn, I heard from Dudu that you have a piece of grass that has 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 said very happily. The outdoor observation class and insect class that were planned two days ago were postponed for a few days.

"You're too polite, tomorrow? I'll prepare some snacks for you." Li Han didn't care much about these things, it was still lively with a few more kids. "Thank you so much. If you have time tomorrow, we will go there and not disturb your work."

"It's okay, it's just a day, it's okay." Li Han and Cynthia agreed, 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 you come tomorrow, and I'll make arrangements."

"Okay, Han, thank you again for your generosity." Cynthia is a good teacher. After Li Han left school, he walked along the road to the supermarket to help his mother buy beef and some daily necessities. It was a rare time to come out.

Li Han went shopping with his mother and bought some clothes. Autumn is here. The weather is getting colder, it's good to add some clothes, the price is not expensive. "Mom, why don't you let Dad come over? You should quit your school job. The family is not short of such a little money."

"It's not that you don't know your dad's temper. He usually speaks very kindly, but it involves a matter of principle. It's useless to persuade anyone. Wait two years until your dad retires." My mother folded her clothes and put them away. , passing by a second-hand store.

Li Han paused and said to his mother. "Dudu and Baby's clothes are quite new, and they are too small to wear, so I can donate them to the store tomorrow. Maybe there are people in need." Li Han said, the owner of this second-hand store, Li Han is very familiar with it, is A middle-aged woman. Fat, not tall, Latino, and kind. Li Han used to come here often to buy some cheap items, and often met some kind-hearted residents donating clothes. Li Han got a lot of free clothes at that time. Some things are pretty good. Not much used, cheaper than new.

"That's okay, there are no children younger than Dudu and the baby at home, Xiaohan, tell mom the truth, is Jennifer Dudu's mother, I see it." Mom stared at Li Han, this matter, Li Han really didn't know what to say. "Mom, don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

Zhang Xiuying sighed,

Said. "Forget it, forget it, you can make up your own mind, you can't help it." Li Han laughed and cried, not being able to explain this clearly.

"Oh, Han, it's been a long time, how are you?" Heaney opened the door of the store, looking to buy vegetables.

"It's not bad, Heaney, how are you doing here? This is my mother, who just came to America and is learning English." Li Han followed Heaney into the store, and Zhang Xiuying followed in to look at the small store. There are quite a lot of things, clothes, shoes , all kinds of daily necessities, foreign ladles, everything should be there, and the grocery store is densely packed. Heaney greeted Zhang Xiuying and said with a smile, offering a 20% discount to her mother.

The price was marked on it, probably three or four dollars. Li Han picked out some tools, and the price was relatively new, less than a third of the price. "Jenny, some of my children's clothes are too small. I'll wash them and send them to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Han, you are really a kind person." Heaney put the tools in a box and handed them to Li Han. "I hope I can help those in need, Heaney, I'm leaving first." "Goodbye Han, goodbye Han's mother."

Zhang Xiuying was amused, but she could still understand simple English. "Xiaohan, are all the things in the store donated by the town residents?" "Some are, some are sold to Heaney, the price is very cheap, and they are not needed at home, so they can be thrown away. Most people wash them and send them over. Maybe someone needs them." .”

Second-hand stores are very common in the United States. It is not a shame to visit second-hand stores. There are also discount stores and various cheap stores. "People here are really environmentally friendly. It's much better than throwing away casually in China." "It's a pity to throw away what can be used. Maybe it can still be used if given to others."

Li Han put the beef and a big shopping bag in the car, opened the door, waited for his mother to fasten her seat belt, and drove back to the farm. Dudu and the baby were not there at noon. There are only two mothers in the family, and they have cooked two small dishes and stewed a pot of beef.

On the other side, Dudu and Baobao are having a big meal with Jennifer, snails and lobsters, Dudu's favorite food, and Jennifer likes snails and lobsters very much. "Eat more pandora." Jennifer did not forget another little guest when taking care of Dudu.

The two little ones like Jennifer recently here, big lobster, snails, and meat, as well as pudding and ice cream cake. Jennifer intends to teach Dudu and Baobao western food etiquette. The two little guys have finished their lunch in a good manner and are going to help their aunt clean up the dishes. Jennifer stops the two little guys. "Dudu, baby, come, sit here for a while, and leave this to Ira." "Oh." Dudu 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 big eyes and nodded his head from time to time. The baby pouted his mouth, and the baby couldn't understand what Aunt Jennifer said. Li Han is busy harvesting walnuts. He will be laying them down in the next few days. He has checked some garage walnut machines. The walnut machine is a very simple machine, with automatic induction variable frequency generator, picking rod, pay-off device, and picking rod. It looks like four to eight meters.

It can be freely adjusted and stretched, and is made of special material tube; the top is a mechanical head, made of beef tendon, which can rotate 360 ​​degrees to shoot down hickory nuts. Li Han, this is the teacher's walnut machine. It was pulled out from the tractor and checked. The machine head is rusty. It is decades old. No matter how well maintained it is, there will always be some mistakes. After checking, many places need to be repaired, so Li Han called Kaidi.

Not long after, Kaidi arrived in the maintenance car. "Han, this guy is quite old. Fortunately, there are still some used parts. It took me a lot of effort to find them." Caddy handed the parts to Li Han, and took down the tools casually. "The walnut forest is so big, it's too wasteful to buy a new machine, Caddy, please."

There are several kinds of walnut machine, but Li Han can't repair it, so he can only find a professional maintenance worker. Kaidi tools are much more advanced than Li Han's tools. After a while, the whole walnut machine was disassembled. Li Han cleaned the parts, Kaidi checked them, worked hard for more than two hours, replaced new parts, oiled them, and started the machine. "That's right, Caddy, thank you very much." After Li Han settled the bill, Caddy answered the phone. "Han, Yuri's walnut machine also needs to be repaired, I'll go there first."

Li Han sent Kaidi away from the farm, returned home, drove the walnut machine to the walnut forest on the hillside, and started the machine. After working hard for half an afternoon, my mother was amazed when she saw it. It was the first time she saw a machine beating walnuts. "The United States is really capable. It uses machines for everything. I heard people say that carrots are pulled by machines."

Li Han stopped the machine and picked up some walnuts to have a look. "The United States is a big place. A family grows thousands of acres of land. There is no machine. How can I come here? I am an old antique from decades ago. I have a new type of walnut machine. I have already harvested dozens of acres of walnuts in one afternoon."

The walnuts are loaded with a machine, pulled back and peeled first. Peeling is easy. Once the machine is turned on, drying is even easier. The dryer, busy at night, almost forgot about the beer hut. He hurriedly took a shower, changed clothes, and rushed to the beer hut, there were several guests in front of the door. "I'm really sorry, I was busy harvesting walnuts today and forgot, I'll treat everyone to a drink." Li Han said to the three people waiting in front of the door.

Several people were very happy, Li Han gave a cup of morning dew, and the three of them ordered another cup of orchid, and sat in a corner to talk and chat. Li Han started to get busy, the oak beer glasses were hanging, there were quite a lot of people at night, most of them were tourists from Chris Manor, the town was not crowded, and the price of beer was too expensive, you could buy more than ten glasses of ordinary beer.

"Jennifer, Lingna, good evening." Li Han waved to Dudu, and Dudu ran over happily. "Father." "Don't make trouble, go back quickly." Li Han tapped his little head, and Jennifer frowned.

"Well, goodbye, Mom." Dudu said goodbye to Jennifer, and obediently left the beer hut. Li Han stipulated that Dudu and the baby could not enter the beer hut. "Han, I don't think you should be beating the beeps at random."

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

Jennifer snorted a few times because of the unpleasantness. "A glass of orchid." After saying that, he ignored Li Han, turned around and left, and sat down at the usual seat. "Han, Jennifer is actually quite a nice 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, the watermelon grown in the space tastes better than ordinary watermelon. "Thank you, I'll just drink water, I'll go there first."

Ling Na paid the money, and walked to Jennifer with You Lan and sat down. "Jennifer, it was just a way for Han to show his intimacy, doesn't Pandora like it very much?" "I know Lingna, it's really strange." Jennifer shook her head in doubt. Han has a kind of instinctive rejection, which is really a strange feeling, and this feeling has become more and more intense recently.

On Li Han's side, Jennifer and Dudu are getting closer and closer. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I didn't want to argue with Jennifer, but Jennifer's tone always made him feel angry. (To be continued..)
