Chapter 640 Farm Life
The living room was quite clean. Li Han came to the kitchen, made some coffee with the coffee pot, and brought it over. "There is no juice, only Coke." Li Han handed Vida Coke, a bottle for Dudu and Baby, and a bottle for Maria and Eve. I seldom come here, and there are not many things in the refrigerator.
Dudu puffed his mouth, he didn't like to drink Coke anymore, so he took Dinah to find milk to drink and to see the ox cart. "Wait a while, Dad will go with you." Li Han held onto the little man Dudu, and had something to talk to Lulu about. "Lulu, the matter of Vader is waiting for Albert to complete the formalities. I will help you with the matter of admission."
"Thanks."
Lulu is very simple and honest, not very good at speaking, his wife can't understand the language, Li Han said a few words, nothing more, don't worry about work and so on, the farm needs people now, and there is a lot of work. Thousands of acres of wheat, corn, sorghum, and barley to grow, all of which require several people to look after. Grass planting requires manpower. Forty to fifty thousand acres of grassland needs to be replanted. A few dozens of people are busy. Usually the grassland needs people to take care of it. Weeds, small trees, shrubs, etc. need to be cleaned and watered from time to time. Just relying on Hugh for a few stops is not enough.
Lulu and his wife are responsible for the flock of sheep. Today, the flock has expanded a lot. There are thousands of sheep and some white-tailed deer. Li Han and Lulu talked, and Lulu's family settled down. Li Han took Dudu and Baobao, who were a little anxious to see the bullock cart, to the livestock area.
The livestock area is where the cattle, horses and sheep were raised on George's farm before, not too far from the living area. "Slow down." Dinah drove the four-wheel tractor over. There is a large carriage hanging, and there are more than a dozen little lambs in the carriage, which are estimated to be born not long ago.
Hay material is piled up in half of the compartment. There was a cow pot next to the lamb, and there was a milky smell. Eve held her nose and looked into the carriage. Tootoo and the baby, Maria didn't realize it at all, the three little people crawled in and played with the lamb. "Sit down soon, Aunt Dinah is driving."
Dinah hung the little cart over the carriage. Start the tractor and chug along the path. Headed towards the livestock area. Li Han and the small men sat on the haystack, opened the window, let in the air, this kind of old-fashioned wooden carriage. Guess George stayed young, a bit old and repaired.
After a while, I arrived at the livestock area. There was a group of lambs in the sheepfold. They were clean and white. Lulu was doing a good job. The lambs were playing in the grass. The pasture is not suitable for the flocks. You know, the flocks are more harmful than the cows. Grass. At this time, it might be released to eat grass roots.
"A lot of lambs."
On the green low slope, there are clusters of white clouds, and hundreds of lambs are grazing beautifully. Resting, playing, the little lamb is very naughty, jumping and chasing and playing, not afraid of the sound of the tractor at all, Dinah's big carriage is moved to the side and down. The tractor head is taken off the carriage, and a small bucket is attached. There are no carriages, and the feed on it is corn, sorghum and fish meal. "Aunt Dinah,
Do you want to feed the lamb? ""yes. Dinah took the feed bags down, two big bags, and put them in the cart.
"Help you."
Dudu pulled Dinah and raised her head. "OK."
"Baby helps auntie catch lambs."
Mary and Baobao carried the lambs and sent them to the sheep pen. More than a dozen lambs were too young to join the flock, and they had to wait for a while. "Let me push it." Seeing Li Han helping, Dinah smiled.
The sheep also need to be fed, Dinah said, and drove the tractor to the warehouse to pull hay hay, in order to make some fresh grass that Lulu drove a small lawn mower yesterday. Li Han pushed the small cart, and the baby sat in the cart, holding a plastic scoop, and sprinkled the feed pellets.
The father and daughter didn't send the feed to the trough at all as Dana said, they sprinkled it on the hillside at random, sprinkled it all the way, and after the feed was sprinkled, they looked back and followed a group of lambs, each of them looked like a white ball, with pure eyes , bleating and surrounded the father and daughter. "Dad, beep down."
"Okay, slow down."
Li Han stopped the cart, tilted it to one side, and waited for Dudu to come down. "Little lamb." Dudu climbed down, caught a little lamb, and smiled silly, which made Li Han amused. "Aunt Dinah is here." With a beep, he let go of the lamb and pointed at the Chutu tractor in the distance.
Li Han looked back. Dinah was driving a tractor, pulling a load of hay and fresh fodder, heading towards the sheep pen. "Dudu is going to help Auntie feed the sheep." Dudu ran towards the sheepfold, Li Han followed closely, and when they arrived, Dinah was picking fresh fodder with a wooden fork.
Baobao and Maria gave the little lamb to the two little people, pulling the hay on tiptoe, dragging it off and pedaling to the sheepfold, not to mention that there are really smart sheep waiting for the two little people to feed, Eve Seeing that it was fun, he even imitated Baobao and Maria to smoke fresh grass and stuff it to feed the sheep.
"Hey, too."
As soon as Dudu saw that it was okay, he ran over quickly, and Li Han put the cart aside. "Have all the feed been fed?" Dinah paused, Li Han took a hay bale, opened the hay and sprinkled it into the trough. "It's over, I'll help you."
Dinah thanked her. "Lulu told me yesterday that some of the sheep here can be sold." Dinah pointed to the sheepfold next to her. Last year, she sold some of the mutton sheep to the restaurant, and the price was not bad. Both Lulu and Dinah got a bonus .
"Let's talk to Albert about this, and Albert knows what to do."
Li Han doesn't plan to take care of these now, let him go to Albert. "That's fine, Lulu plans to take the sheep to the mountains in two weeks." "Isn't it too early?" Li Han dragged all the straw bales down, opened the hay and sprinkled it.
Dudu and the villains pulled a lot of fresh grass, squatted by the sheep pen, and fed the sheep with all their strength. "Lulu went to the mountain with Henry to see it yesterday. The grass is growing pretty well, but there are some weeds. The sheep just happened to get rid of the weeds."
Li Han nodded. The hillside pasture has been around for many years. There are many weeds and little pasture. The growth is good, but it is more troublesome. "Okay then, just let Albert say it." Dinah picked up the hay with a wooden fork, and when the buckets of hay were picked up, it was considered that the work was over.
Li Han took a few villains who hadn't played enough, and sat on a small trailer. On a few haystacks, the little guys were still grabbing fresh grass and spreading them all the way, and they really attracted a few little lambs, giggling all the way. Coming to the mobile home where Dinah lives, there are really cowboys, bold and uninhibited.
"Aunt Dinah is shy."
Dudu and the baby, Maria stretched her head to look around the room, they were all in a mess. "I'm too busy these days to clean up." Dinah's room is not too big, but it's quite complete. The bedroom, kitchen, and workbench are full of cowhide, buckskin, wolf skin, etc., and the finished saddle is hung on the wall. "Yes, this saddle is very nice."
Hughton, Doyle, even Henry, Gordon in Hawaii, and Sarah used saddles all made by Dinah. Machine saddles are made in large quantities, but they are not as detailed, suitable in size and comfortable as handmade saddles. "This is the mat on the bullock cart."
Dinah's cushion is made of cowhide, and it is stuffed to the brim. Li Han touched it, and it was nice to get acquainted with it. This thing has been used for decades without being worn out. "Father, show Dudu." "Okay, carry it." Li Han put the cushion on Dududu's body, and the little girl wobbled and almost bumped into him. Li Han took it down with a smile, pouting his mouth, looking at his father, Li Han smiled and squeezed his chubby face. "Hey, you can't handle such a cushion."
Dudu can move, Li Han, Dinah, and Eve move the mat out and put it on a small trailer. "Let me drive." Li Han put the musical instruments, beer, and beef on the pickup truck onto the trailer. Li Han got on the four-wheel tractor and said, Dinah nodded, and drove the tractor with the small trailer, There were a few small people in the car, sitting on the haystack, with a lamb in their arms.
The road is ups and downs, but fortunately, the hills are not high, and we arrived at the cattle farm in a short time. Outside the cattle farm, there are more than a dozen large tractors with large trailers. A group of cowboys are busy driving the cattle to the carts. The cowboys drive the cattle on horseback. The whole place was in a mess, the cows were neighing, and Li Han shouted for a long time, finally Henry came over. "Henry." "Han." Henry was directing the cowboys to be busy. "Where are these cows going?"
"Lady Lake Meadow, this is the second batch today."
Large trailers can hold more than 20 cows, and transport three to four hundred cows at a time. Li Han saw that they were all half-big cows, and it might be the first time to get on the trailer. He was not used to it, and kept barking, so the cowboys had to separate their hands to guard in front of the door.
"Then you go ahead, I'll take things to the lounge."
Li Han can't help here, and there are a few little guys in Dudu, eager to try one by one, Li Han should take them away as soon as possible, they are very messy and noisy. Li Han caught a few villains and put them in the car, started the car and left quickly, pretending that he didn't see the puffy pouts.
There will be no one in the cowboy lounge. Li Han’s beer is put away, the instruments are put on, and we’ll be working on it for a while. Speaking of which, Li Han and Willy’s bands haven’t been active for more than half a year. That day I asked Willy to go to Hamilton Social University Play around, recently I was honestly told not to participate in community activities.
While Li Han was busy with tuning, Dinah and Eve actually played billiards, Dudu and Baobao, Maria sat on the high chairs at the bar, poured Coke from a wine glass, and toasted like adults drinking , Li Han saw a villain gave his buttocks and hugged him down.
"Han, do you want to play for a while?"
With a beer in one hand and a cue in the other, Dinah stood by the pool table and watched Eve play, not to mention that Eve was quite handsome. "The drum kit is all set up." Eve asked as she stood up after hitting a shot. "It's ok."
Li Han shook his arm, he was quite tired, he finally adjusted it, he is quite powerful, let me be a little proud. "Help me play, I'll go play for a while." Saying that the cue was jammed, Eve ran to the stage musical instrument.
Billiards, Li Han used to play billiards when he was a child, but he didn’t play much these years, he glanced at it, was taken aback for a moment, and found himself playing well, Dinah turned out to be a master, the position was too good, this thing is really good for ordinary people Can't play.
