As soon as the Dudu pumpkin cart appeared in the parking lot outside the school gate, it immediately attracted the attention of many students. Dudu generously opened the pumpkin door to show everyone.
"Sister." Michelle walked over, leading her grandma with a small schoolbag on her back.
"Sister Michelle." Dudu greeted Grandma Michelle politely. "What a polite boy." "Oh, this is a pumpkin cart." "Well, it's a really big pumpkin. Dad and uncle helped make it."
"It's really beautiful." Michelle's grandma, Mrs. Anderson, looked at the purple-gold frame and yellow-red body with a crown. It was really a beautiful princess pumpkin car. "Well, does sister Michelle want to sit down?" Michelle nodded her head vigorously. "Catch the pumpkin and send Michelle's sister home." Dudu patted the big wild boar Hem Hem, and Big Hem Hem was not very friendly to the people around him, shook his head, and waved his big fangs wave.
"Oh, God, is this a pig?" "Yes, big hum, good boy, this is grandma." Dudu stroked Daheng, and Daheng hummed twice to the crowd watching the excitement and continued to eat corn on the cob.
Big Hem had a good meal today, gnawing on corn cobs and ignoring the noise around him, but he didn't like strangers approaching him very much. "Come with the teacher in the car." Cynthia rushed to the parking lot outside the school, and saw a group of people surrounding the pumpkin cart in the distance.
Cynthia quickened her pace, luckily she was fine, she beeped, and pulled Michelle and the baby into the pumpkin cart. "Is Teacher Cynthia coming up?" Cynthia shook her head and said with a smile. "No, the teacher will take you to the parking lot."
Cynthia talked to the gatekeeper, and the big wild boar followed into the school parking lot with a big grunt. Docked unmanned in a small yard. "It's fine here." Cynthia didn't dare to get close to the giant wild boar. The long fangs were shining coldly, and the small scarlet eyes were shining coldly. Cynthia didn't even dare to look at each other, Dudu and the baby. Michelle jumped off the pumpkin cart. Dudu took some carrots and other vegetables and handed them to Daheng, and patted him to undo the cover of Daheng. Cynthia had to step forward to help. I blamed Li Han in my heart, why didn't I drive my baby and me to school, and drove the wild boar and pumpkin cart, it was too worrying to say. Also time consuming.
Dudu waved his little hand to say goodbye to Big Hem, and followed Cynthia back to the classroom. Rem, a group of little guys surrounded Dudu, envious of Dudu's beautiful pumpkin cart, and the little guys from the tree house club clamored to go to the meeting after school today.
But Dudu asked for leave to participate in the pumpkin boat race in the afternoon, and a group of little guys were disappointed. On the side of the small courtyard, after eating carrots and corn, Heheng pushed open the iron gate, and ran out of the classroom following the smell of beeping. Many children were so frightened that they ran back to the classroom yelling.
The doorman didn't dare to get too close, and kept calling the office, looking for Cynthia, beeping. Baby, Michelle bought pudding and is sitting in the classroom eating pudding.
The window slammed, and Dudu turned his head to look. "Wow, big hum." Dudu immediately ran to the window and climbed onto the table. "Dahengheng, why are you here?" Dudu touched Dahengheng through the window, and played with it for a while.
Cynthia trotted all the way into the classroom, seeing Dudu and the big wild boar playing through the window, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she blamed Li Han a lot in her heart. Under the watchful eyes of Cynthia, Dudu sent Daheng back to the yard, and explained for a while while walking.
Finally, there was no more trouble. At noon, Dudu and the baby took time off to go to the small farm to prepare for the game in the afternoon. "Ms. Cynthia, aren't you going?" "Go back first, the teacher will go later." "Well, go to the competition place and wait for the teacher."
Back at the small farm, lunch is ready. The pumpkin balls are sweet and sticky and decorated with some rice wine. Go to the game site.
Li Hanting likes rice wine soup, it tastes sweet and has a little rice wine aroma, reminiscent of when he was a child, and there is some fruit in it. "Add more decorations for Dudu." "Well, do you want it, Dad?" "Mom will come over to cheer for Dudu in a while."
Dudu packed a large feeding bottle and a thermal rice bucket, and was ready to go, and the whole family was dispatched. I drove two cars to Chris Manor, handed over the VIP card, parked the car, and unloaded the two pumpkin boats. "Be careful when transporting, especially the small pumpkins on both sides, please."
The car that transports the pumpkin boat stops at the parking lot, and the pumpkin boat is delivered every half an hour. The number plate is marked, and the pumpkin boat is handed over to the staff. Li Han's family came to the electric car rental center, and happened to meet Li Yi and Lin Bo and his party when they were renting a car. Li Han greeted Li Yi and the others with a smile, and introduced his mother and elder sister to each other. Li Yi had met his mother and elder sister before, and the rest of them met for the first time, but they quickly became familiar with each other, familiar with the language, and the best way to communicate channel.
Dudu, Baobao and Xiaoxiao got together very quickly. "Miss, Dudu is participating in the pumpkin boat race, can you cheer for Dudu?" sister playing.
Wang Xuan laughed and joked about Li Handa pretending to be a farm worker the day before yesterday. A few aunts pretended to complain a few words. It was the first time for my mother and elder sister to hear about it. They laughed and followed everyone to complain about Li Han. How old is this child? It's so childish. Everyone is from China. I saw it abroad. I feel very close, especially my mother and a few aunts. After a while, they talked and went together. I heard that my mother got a driver within a few months after coming to the United States. Proof, quite surprised and envious. "Did you drive here by yourself today?" "No, you can't let go of the car after you drive it. It's not sure if you can get used to it when you return to China."
Mom said with a smile. "It's pretty good here, but there are fewer people, and no one usually talks to each other." "That's not true, the country is lively, but the environment is indeed better here. After all, there are few people. No matter how many years of development, polluting enterprises will go to Developing countries are doing quite well in environmental protection and transformation.”
A few aunts talked about what they saw along the way, there were good and bad. Of course, the overall environment is more comfortable than in China, and the travel is very good. After settling down, a few aunts have no idea. too lonely. The country is lively, lively for a lifetime, I really don't like to be quiet for a while.
"Everyone has their own advantages. My son is doing well here. We are an old couple. We don't have any relatives at home. Maybe we will come here to live more in the future." Mom said. "It's true, your child is promising. You two have a big farm at a young age, and you two are waiting to enjoy the blessing." "What's the blessing, this child is not obedient at all, what a girl you are. Granddaughter mother, Beautiful and sensible, but this child is dumbfounded."
Zhang Xiuying sighed as she spoke. Several aunts had seen Dudu's mother Jennifer and praised her. She was very happy. Li Mei, who was talking to Wang Xuan about children's education, smiled. Mom seems to really like Jennifer in her heart, and Jennifer is really nice, every time she goes out, she brings some gifts to Mom, and she gave her a set of valuable jewelry when she first came here. Better baby toys are given away by others. "Li Mei." "Ah, Sister Wang." "How long has your baby been in the United States, and I think he can speak English pretty well." "It's been about three months since I came to the United States twice, and my English is not bad. Now it's simple. I can understand the conversations, and there is no problem in class, and it is his father who taught her English when she was a child, and she usually has English conversations."
Zhou Bin is an English teacher, and his English is good. Li Mei's English was very good during college, and his family education is good. Besides, the baby is extroverted and lively, and Dudu speaks English together every day. After a few months, he can speak simple English. "It's good, my family is small, I'm really worried about the two of us." "Take your time, but you don't have any relatives here in the United States. If you don't come here by yourself, you want to send your child here. It's too early, Xiaoxiao is too young." .”
"That's what I thought too. I thought about sending her to a foreign language school and studying for a few years before entering junior high school." "That's okay. At that time, my English was good and the children were older. At least I would take care of myself when I was sent here."
Li Mei and Wang Xuan were talking about their children, while Lin Bo and others were discussing with Li Han about the pumpkin boat race. "Xiao Li, can a pumpkin be made into a boat? That person won't sink if he sits in it." "Hehe, the pumpkin boat is made of a big pumpkin, which is quite big and buoyant enough to support a person."
There are few activities such as the big pumpkin competition in China, and I don’t want to have a complete pumpkin month in October in the United States. "How big is that?" "It's at least 1.5 meters in diameter and about 1 meter high. It's better to make a boat. It's too small for people to sit on."
"Dudu and the baby pumpkin boat are about 1.5 meters tall, which is quite small." "There are so many big pumpkins, not to mention that American pumpkins are really big. I remember that there are several big pumpkin carvings placed at the entrance of the hotel. There is also one in the lobby of the hotel, I went first and saw the plastic, but I didn’t expect it to be real.”
Li Dawei said that there are small and big pumpkins grown in the United States, and there are many ordinary pumpkins that are as big as fists. Li Han didn't explain. After all, the big pumpkin was eye-catching and easy to be remembered. The car walked along the path to the water playground. "It's a pity that if the playground is open in summer, it would be nice to think about it."
On the side of the lake in the competition field, many sheds were built. Along the way, we saw pumpkin paintings and various small pumpkins piled up with various figures, animals, and pumpkins of various colors in red, yellow, white, green and black. More than 200 varieties of pumpkins were introduced, and the number even reached more than 20,000. Farmers from four or five small towns around Comixing participated. "Are you warming up for the Pumpkin Festival?" Li Yi said with a smile.
Li Han shook his head slightly. "Although it is not as lively as the Pumpkin Festival, there are not too many pumpkins. The Pumpkin Festival in Mixing Town has 10,000 to 20,000 pumpkins, but there are all kinds of shapes here. Compared with the Pumpkin Festival, there are fewer tricks, maybe These farmers are waiting for the pumpkin festival to be lively."
Li Han has participated in several pumpkin festivals, so he knows about them. "Well, I don't have all the information about the Pumpkin Festival here. Brother Li can tell me about it when he has time." I really can’t say good or bad.”
Li Yi could only nod in disappointment. After all, not long after he opened the Montana Tour route, Li Yi has already done a good job. "There are quite a few people in front." Li Dawei and Liu Daer said with a smile.
"The competition site is right in front of you. Find a place to sit first. I'll pick up Dudu and the baby pumpkin boat." Li Han said to his mother and sister with a smile.
