The Best Small Farm

  Chapter 33 Vegetable Garden and Turkey

   About half an hour later, the open space in the woods was reclaimed, and the soil fertility looked pretty good. It’s no problem if you want to grow some vegetables.

   "Little man, how is the soil turning?" Brother-in-law Zhou Bin jumped off the tractor and asked.

   "Not bad, brother-in-law, how does it feel to drive this big guy?" Li Han said with a smile.

   "It's okay, this big guy is very useful." The brother-in-law patted the tractor wheel and said. "Little man, grow vegetables in such a large piece?"

"That's not necessary. Let's draw a circle and make a small vegetable garden to grow enough to eat." Li Han drove the tractor back to the garage, hooked up the carriage and carried his brother-in-law Zhou Bin to the storage room to transport some planks and saws. , hammer, nail and shovel, when driving the tractor back to the woods, they happened to meet Dudu and Baobao chasing Millie to play, and the two little guys ran over when they saw the tractor shouting with joy. "Uncle, the baby is in the car." "Well, Dad, Dudu is also in the car." The two little guys, Li Han stopped the tractor, and carried a little guy on the car.

"Sit down, let's go." There was a sudden sound of the motor, and the tractor came to the forest field with the two big, two small and four people and full of tools. The tools, planks, and wooden piles were transported down, but it was the turn of the two little guys. Worrying, the baby is unwilling to come down, and he has to drive, Dudu has a lot to follow, which makes Li Han quite a headache.

   "Baby, darling, come down and help Dad get the plank." Brother-in-law really has a way. When the baby heard that he could help Dad, he obediently jumped off the tractor, and Dudu said with a small hand. "Dudu also helped Dad get the wooden board."

The two little guys pulled the wooden board vigorously, where is the help? It was broken. He pouted Lao Gao with his little mouth, hummed his little **** and pulled a wooden board the size of Dudu, and his little face was red and tired. "This child is quite strong." Brother-in-law Zhou Bin said with a smile as he took his daughter over the wooden board.

"Dudu, Dad is enough here. Dudu and my sister catch earthworms and go back to feed the chickens." Li Han and his brother-in-law pulled the rope to draw out an area about an acre, and hit the four corners with small wooden stakes with a hammer. Busy sawing boards and making fences.

  The two adults were busy, sawing wooden boards into small pieces, and the two villains were playing in the field, looking for snails and earthworms, and went back to feed the chickens. Dudu asked Li Han for two small bottles. The two little guys squatted on the ground, pouting their little butts, looking for earthworms and small snails and stuffing them into the small bottles. It was lively and lively. Giggling, the baby started to cry when he saw the wriggling earthworms, he didn't dare to touch them, but after a while, the baby joined the fight for the earthworms, no matter how sticky and dirty his little hands were, he put the earthworms into the vial with his two little hands. inside.

   "Dad, look, look, look, the baby caught a big earthworm." The baby proudly raised his finger with a large earthworm and shouted to his father who was busy aligning the planks and sawing the planks. "It's really not small. No wonder the soil is so loose. It turns out that there are many earthworms."

"Maybe this was a place to dry cow dung before, but this old beauty is eaten as a delicacy." Li Han put the sawn boards together, stood up, and walked to Dudu and Baobao, two little guys with small faces , his little hands were dirty, his riding boots were full of dirt, his smiling face was like a little cat, and he was shaking the little bottle in his hand. "There are quite a lot of earthworms here." The bottle was almost full, and the chubby earthworms squirmed and protruded from the mucus.

"Don't talk about old beauty, many people in China are clamoring that earthworms are high in protein or something. Grinding earthworm powder to eat, the price is not cheap." The brother-in-law put the board away, put the saw aside, supported Li Han's wooden stake, and Li Han struck it down with a hammer. in the ground.

"This person has a better life. He always likes to think about strange things." Li Han took a sledgehammer and struck a wooden stake with three hammers. Brother-in-law took one, one after another, Dudu and Baobao This little guy caught a bottle of earthworms and started catching small snails. There were more snails in the grass, and two little guys ran into the grass to catch snails. "Don't go far, Dudu, grandma will come to call us for dinner." Li Han put down his hammer and rested for a while.

   "Isn't there any danger in the grass for Xiao Han?" My brother-in-law was a little worried, holding the stake with one hand, and asked. "It's okay, the farm here is quite a long time, and there is still a long distance from the mountains. Usually, you can see some white deer, rabbits, turkeys in the pasture, and big beasts rarely appear around the farm house."

  Brother-in-law was relieved, and the two worked together. After a while, they laid more than a dozen wooden stakes. It was getting late. Li Han planned to pack up, go back to eat, and come back in the afternoon to build a small vegetable garden. "These two little things have forgotten the time."

   Li Han and his brother-in-law walked along the grove for four or five minutes, and saw Dudu and the baby squatting in the grass, mumbling about the chicken eating. "Dudu, baby, stop playing, go back to eat." "Dad, look, the chick is so pitiful."

  Dudu and the baby were surrounded by the bird's nest. There were two meat **** in the bird's nest with a big mouth. Brother-in-law Zhou Bin frowned when he saw it, what an ugly bird.

   "It's a turkey, maybe it's our land reclamation that disturbed the mother turkey."

   "Uncle, can baby raise chickens?" Baobao and Dudu were still holding earthworm bottles in their hands. "Of course, but you have to take good care of them, like mothers, can you do it?" Li Han asked.

   "Well, Dudu caught a lot of earthworms to feed the chicks." Dudu immediately raised his chest and said, the baby also ensured to catch a lot of earthworms to feed the chicks, take good care of the chicks, and play with the chicks. "Okay, we'll take the chicks home, Dudu, baby, you can take care of the chicks on the way."

   "Little man, let me see." The brother-in-law looked at Baobao and Dudu. How could the two little guys take care of the chicks, they couldn't take care of themselves.

   "It's okay brother-in-law, the children like it, and Dudu and the baby are not too young, learn how to take care of small animals."

  Li Han and Zhou Bin, Dudu and Baobao walked back, Dudu and Baobao were holding a small turkey each, cautiously, for fear of disturbing the little guy in their hands. Back at the small building, my mother had already prepared lunch and was waiting. Li Han called Dinah and Houghton to introduce them. "Hulton, my mom and dad don't understand English very well." "It's okay, Han, thank you very much. Madam invited us to the family dinner."

"Hehe, it's just a regular meal, it's not delicious, come and taste it if it suits your taste." Li Han returned to the interpreter in front of the interpreter. At noon, Li Han had a round belly, not to mention Hughton and Dinah, Li Han's father The craftsmanship was handed down from my grandfather. Sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried lamb chops, stewed beef, various side dishes, not to mention how good the taste is, and also made a pot of herbal soup. Houghton and Dinah agreed to drink this soup Replenishing Qi and maintaining health can also prevent diseases. I am very surprised, let alone drink an extra bowl.

   "Speaking of this soup, it's really troublesome. It takes a lot of trouble just to bring the medicinal materials, and I almost didn't allow it." Li Heping said while pretending to be soup.

"Dad, cut it into pieces and pack it well, and you have to have an invoice to prove it. There are too many customs rules in the old United States." Li Han didn't say, Americans know Chinese medicine, what is pseudo-scientific, and whether there are plants or the like are prohibited privately. Carrying it, Li Han has a plan in mind. Herbs may also be planted in the space. Next time, I go back to get some seeds and pack them in the space.

After lunch, Hughton and Dinah thanked Li Han for inviting them over, and said goodbye after a few words. Li Han took a few steps and returned to the house. Dudu and Baobao were helping grandma clean up the dishes. The two little guys , what do you think about Bibi.

   "Xiaohan, I don't think Americans are very open?" said her mother, Zhang Xiuying. "Hehe, Mom, many Americas are quite quiet, especially Montana, which is relatively conservative." Seeing that his sister was looking for a cardboard box for a small turkey, Li Han walked over.

   "Sister, I will nail a wooden box and put some hay in a while, these two little turkeys are very pitiful." Li Han said when he saw the two little guys who kept calling.
