Chapter 253: During the Pumpkin Festival
Jennifer and Li Han were sitting opposite each other, both of them felt a little uncomfortable, always felt that the elder sister glanced at them from time to time, chatting as if they were good friends, which would make them a little awkward. Jennifer frowned slightly, while Li Han held the coffee and lowered his head to sip it.
Fortunately, after a while, Dudu, Bao Bao, and Maria came back with little pumpkins in their arms. Dudu saw Jennifer sitting on the sofa, and was taken aback for a moment. "Sister Dudu." The baby knocked on Dudu's body, pursed his mouth, and Dudu stopped without saying a word.
"Mom." Dudu cheered and ran over and jumped into Jennifer's arms, rubbing her little head non-stop. Dudu hadn't seen her mother for many days, and missed her very much. Jennifer put down her coffee cup, put her arms around Dudu, and looked at the little guy frowning slightly. Dudu was dirty, with black spots and white spots on his face. Jennifer didn't know that the baby could roll and play in the pumpkin patch just now. "Did Dudu pick pumpkins yet?" "Duddu picked a lot of pumpkins. Dad helped Dudu transport them back. Mom, Dudu picked a lot of pumpkins. Let's make desserts."
Li Han said with a smile. "Dudu heard that you came, and they made a fuss about picking pumpkins for dessert early in the morning." "Really?" Jennifer frowned, combing Dudu's somewhat messy hair. "What a beautiful hairpin."
"Aunt Dudu sent it to Dudu." Dudu raised his little head, lying in Jennifer's arms, unwilling to get up, the baby pouted, throwing away all the pumpkins of Dudu's younger sister, and the baby was so tired carrying two little heads. Li Mei smiled and took the pumpkin from the silly daughter's arms. Fortunately, it was not big, so she hugged it.
Maria lowered her head, put the pumpkin away, sister Dudu and baby sister pumpkin also moved to the side, and stood timidly by the side without saying a word. "Maria, come and sit with my sister." Li Han waved to the little guy, and Maria stood pitifully alone. "Doo, give the snacks to Sister Maria."
"Yeah." Dudu got up from Jennifer's arms and took a small cake for Maria to eat. Maria was a little shy, but Dudu's mother was so beautiful, and her clothes were also pretty. Maria was timid and looked a little pitiful, especially her clothes were so ugly.
Although Maria is small, she likes new clothes. My mother has no money, so it is very cheap to go to second-hand stores to buy them. Although they are not old, the style is not very good-looking. Dudu pulled Maria to sit next to Jennifer. Jennifer had seen little Maria a few times, a sensible little girl, and smiled slightly at Maria. "Han, is Maria's dad still working on the farm?" "Yes, Colt is doing a good job, and I plan to add some bonuses at the end of the month."
Li Han took a sip of coffee, and the three little guys appeared, and the atmosphere became much better. "Oh, are you working in the Pearl Flower Ranch?" Lingna said with a smile, and secretly looked at Jennifer, Li Han said with a slight smile. "Yeah, the rat problem is not over yet. I want to open up a isolation zone and plow it deeper again to prevent rats from coming over from the state grassland."
Lingna saw Jennifer nodded slightly. "I think it will pass, Han. The prices of farms and pastures have dropped recently. Jennifer wants to buy some. What do you think?" Lingna put down the coffee quilt after she finished speaking, and took a piece of cake to taste.
Li Han looked at Jennifer. "I think it's pretty good. Of course, the farms and pastures that have been sold recently are not too big, and they are seriously infested by rats." "Han, how do you think these farms should be transformed, maybe better."
Li Han was a little puzzled by Lingna's words. The meaning in Lingna's words was obvious, and she really planned to buy farms and pastures. The forage market next spring will be good. My idea is to plant new grass species and strive to renovate the new pasture before next spring. "
"This is not an easy task. The rat plague is too great, and the drought has not yet completely passed. The problem of grass seeding is very difficult. Han, what can you do?" clear.
Li Han couldn't laugh or cry, it was rare for Jennifer and Lingna to see their plan, Pearl Flower Ranch, no wonder. "I do have some skills in cultivating grass seeds. I think the grass will be produced two or three weeks earlier than other pastures."
Next spring, the price of forage will definitely rise. It is just a question of how much. With the increase of forage, a series of problems will follow, and the price of a good pasture will not be low. "That's really nice."
Ling Na didn't go on talking, didn't she see Li Mei looking at her with doubts on her face? Li Mei was really full of doubts in her heart. Jennifer didn't say a few words to Li Han, but Ling Na talked with Li Han very speculatively.
Jennifer and Lingna looked at each other and nodded slightly. As long as Li Han can renovate the barren and rat-infested, drought-affected grassland, if it can reach the level of Hanke's farm, the price will increase by at least 50% or even higher.
Fifty percent, for Jennifer and Lingna, this is a huge fortune. As for how to exchange seeds with Li Han, Lingna and Jennifer will discuss it when they come. Li Han is most short of funds now, and maybe he can buy farms and pastures in exchange.
Dudu leaned against Jennifer and put his arms around Jennifer. "Mom, the pumpkins planted have grown so big that they can't fit in the ox cart. Mom, do you want to see it?" Jennifer smiled and touched Dudu's little head. "OK."
Jennifer handed the gift to Li Han and stood up. "Let's go, take mom to see." "Auntie Lingna, isn't she going? She's getting old." Dudu held her mother's hand and looked up at Lingna with her little head up.
Lingna smiled and nodded. Lingna gave Dudu and Baobao two bear dolls as presents. As for Li Han and Li Mei, Zhang Xiuying did not give gifts, which is different from Jennifer. "Little Han." Li Mei patted Li Han who was sitting. "Go hang out with Jennifer."
Li Han stood up helplessly. "Jennifer, let's go, I will give you a big pumpkin when I go back." Jennifer said happily, Xiaowang Farm also grows pumpkins. "Han, you forgot, Xiaowang Farm grows hundreds of acres of pumpkins every year."
Li Han really didn't know. "That's it, but the pumpkins are really big." Li Han pushed the small stroller, and the two little ones, Bao Bao and Maria, sat on one side. Dudu will be with Jennifer, no stroller.
When you come to the vegetable garden, follow the vegetable garden path to the hillside behind the vegetable garden. The entire hillside is full of pumpkins, big and small, red and yellow everywhere. "Oh, God, there are so many." The density is so miraculous that Li Han didn't expect that there would be so many pumpkins left after the pumpkin seedlings withered. "Aunt Lingna grows it." Dudu climbed onto a big pumpkin and stood there.
"Mom." Dudu stood on the pumpkin and called Jennifer. Jennifer took off her shoes with a smile, walked over, and sat on the pumpkin. Unexpectedly, Jennifer had a little girl's innocent side. Dudu and Jennifer posed various Funny poses, took a lot of small photos.
Li Han stood aside speechless, but Ling Na wasn't surprised at all. "Han, Jennifer has more than one side." "I'm just a little surprised, Lingna, I want you to help me figure out a way, the pumpkins here are really too big, too many."
Three or five big pumpkins are enough, but Li Han has at least three or four hundred white catties of pumpkins here, and some even exceed five hundred catties. Although not many, there are dozens of them. To participate in the pumpkin festival, you don't need so much, three or four big pumpkins are enough.
Lingna smiled and pointed to Jennifer. "I think Jennifer will have a solution." Lingna looked around, it was a miracle, she had never seen such a dense pumpkin garden, and even many pumpkins were stacked on top of each other. At most, Lingna saw four stacks of pumpkin towers.
Li Han followed Dudu, the little girl had just met the baby, and Maria picked a lot of small pumpkins, all of which were round and beautiful red pumpkins. Li Han put down the stroller, Baby and Maria jumped out of the stroller, ran into the pumpkin field, picked the little pumpkins and put them in the stroller one by one. "Uncle, uncle, look, look, it's so cute." The baby held up a palm as big as Miller's little pumpkin figure with a big belly.
It's really funny, like someone who pats their belly and laughs. "Dudu saw it first." "But the baby picked it first." The baby snorted and refused to give Dudu, and Dudu pouted. "Sister Baobao snatched it away."
Jennifer put on her shoes, smiled and watched Dudu and Bao Bao arguing over the little pumpkin, Li Han had no choice but to separate the two little guys. "Dudu, there are still a lot of small pumpkins here, let's find better ones, it's okay for the baby to show my sister."
Li Han had nothing to do with the two little guys, saying that they were making a fuss, saying yes, it would be fine within two minutes. "Look at how well-behaved Sister Maria is, Maria, that's enough." Li Han took the pumpkins from Maria and put them away. Maria kept going back and forth between the pumpkin patch and the cart, picking off the pumpkins one by one and putting them into the cart. His face was red and his forehead was sweating. "Sister Maria, rest, Dudu comes and hugs you."
Dudu ran into the pumpkin seeds, squatted down and picked up the two little pumpkins with difficulty, the baby was not to be outdone when he saw the two little guys, Li Han really couldn't do anything about them. "Dad, can Dudu sell pumpkins?" Dudu put two small pumpkins into the trolley and asked with his head raised.
"Of course it's fine. We'll sell it when we finish the drawing." Li Han pinched his little nose. "Hold one at a time." Li Han and Dudu, baby, when Maria was loading the little pumpkin. Jennifer and Lingna came to the winter melon field to say hello to Zhang Xiuying.
Jennifer was polite, and Zhang Xiuying liked it very much. She pulled Jennifer and said a lot of words, Lingna's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help laughing. Jennifer is a little helpless. Jennifer seems to understand what Zhang Xiuying said, and the time for learning Chinese is still short. Just hearing the mention of Li Han, and thinking about learning Chinese family knowledge these days, Jennifer can guess something.
It didn't take long for Li Han's pumpkin field to come over with a small cart, followed by three little tails, each holding a small pumpkin with a novel shape. The baby pumpkin with a big belly, the baby pumpkin, and Maria's pumpkin that looks like a bull's head are all very interesting. Dudu ran to Jennifer's side and held up his little pumpkin to show to his mother.
"Mom, Jennifer." Li Han approached and saw Jennifer frowned slightly, and made a helpless expression towards Lingna with a wry smile. Lingna was really watching the fun. "Little Han, I've picked enough wax gourds, let's go, let's go back."
Zhang Xiuying said to Aunt Xu, and Aunt Xu went back first, while Li Handong melon was loaded into the cart and pushed, following behind her mother. Jennifer led Dudu and talked with Zhang Xiuying all the way. "Han, this is the first time I've seen Jennifer so embarrassed, it's really interesting." rs
