The Best Small Farm

Li Han pinched his chin and looked up and down, nodded his head with satisfaction, yes, yes, a small top hat, a floral skirt, and leather shoes, she is really a beautiful little lady. Dudu pouted, unhappy, the little girl changed a lot of clothes, Li Han smiled and pinched Dudu's little nose. "Okay, Dudu is the most beautiful, have you brought a gift?"

Dudu was happy when he said the gift, and nodded his head vigorously. "Dudu is ready." After the gift was packed, Dudu carried it on his back, and went out holding his father's big hand. Michelle invited Dudu to her birthday party. Michelle's ranch is not far from Li Han's farm. Michelle His grandfather, Anderson, was a stubborn German, a die-hard supporter of the Republican Party, and he was very opposed to non-white immigrants. Li Han and Anderson had only met a few times, but they were not familiar with him, so he was a little surprised by Anderson's invitation.

On the table, the United States is a country that advocates racial equality, and any racially discriminatory behavior or speech in public will be condemned. But in fact, whites and people of color, especially new immigrants, still keep a very cautious distance. The social circle is completely incompatible, this time Cider

The pressParty is a gathering of wealthy white people. There are about 200 people in total, most of them are farmers and ranchers, and some good friends. Li Han drove a pickup truck to the parking lot. One part of the ranch was trimmed and leveled, about the size of two football fields. Enough to park the car.

Li Han's pickup truck stopped, Little Dudu hugged him down, White Wolf jumped off and followed Dudu, the big bodyguard of Dudu. "Dad, Dudu gift." "Got it." Li Han brought the gift, some domestic gadgets, bought and packed the space and brought it here, the mountain wood carved basket, like a plate, lifted it in a circle and collapsed, forming a basket shape , the price is not expensive, there is also a set of letters and two small gifts.

The owner of the party, Anderson, owns a large ranch and apple orchard, with more than 50,000 acres of land. He is one of the largest landlords in the small town of Comixing. The party is held on the lawn of the ranch. Li Han led Dudu over, and Michelle ran over when she saw Dudu coming, and the two little guys hugged each other intimately.

Li Han handed the gift to Dudu and gave it to little Michelle. Michelle opened it on the spot. The wooden basket was really beautiful and interesting. Little Michelle liked to cheer very much. "Wow, it's so beautiful, thank you Dudu." "Well, Dad bought it at grandma's house. It's a gift from Dudu."

Dudu sent the letter and a big foot, Michelle tilted her head in doubt, big foot. "Dudu, this is a big foot, it's strange to be fat." Shu Jian and the big foot, Dudu nodded their heads and pulled Dad away. "Dad said it was good, right Dad." Dudu looked back at his father and said, the little guy adores his father.

The guests around were quite puzzled, but before Li Han could speak, someone explained for Li Han. "There is no calamity greater than not being satisfied, and no fault greater than wanting to gain. Therefore, contentment is always enough, contentment is always happy, and self-knowledge of satisfaction is always happy."

Liu Ming said with a smile while holding the whiskey. Li Han shook his head with a wry smile. No wonder Anderson invited him because of Liu Ming's face. "Nice gift, thank you, Han, would you like a glass of whiskey?" "Of course, Mr. Anderson." Li Han took the whiskey and nodded to Liu Ming. "It's pretty good here, Han, what do you think?" Liu Ming held the wine glass and took a sip.

"Of course, the Anderson ranch has been passed down for three generations and has a history of hundreds of years. The houses here can be regarded as antiques. There are a few large ranches in Kemixing Town that have been passed down for hundreds of years. The scenery here has always been good." Li Han and Liu Ming came to the visitor registration, and Li Han himself He wrote his name on a sticker and stuck it on his chest to say hello to the guests. He walked to a quiet small wooden bridge surrounded by some haystacks. Li Han and Liu Ming sat down, and Liu Ming said with a smile. "Han, the apple tastes good here,

Would you like some? "

There are four or five big boxes on the lawn not far away, filled with all kinds of apples, next to it is a big bucket, a big juicer, Dudu, Michelle, Rem, and more than a dozen little guys are busy washing apples and squeezing them. juice. "Of course, I think the domestic price of such good apples must be quite good."

Liu Ming smiled and nodded. "Hehe, it's pretty good. You know that there are many rich people in China. The price of good-quality apples is higher, but they actually sell better, don't they?" "Congratulations, this is really a good business." Li Han really didn't like it. I understand, Liu Ming can be seen everywhere, he is really a strange person.

"It's too boring to talk about it, Han, I'm planning to open a racecourse, how about it, are you interested?" Liu Ming put down his wine glass, Li Han looked Liu Ming up and down and shook his head slightly. "There are already enough horse farms in the United States. I am not interested in this muddy water."

"No, no, Han, you misunderstood. I want to say that it is in the suburbs of Beijing. I have a large farm. Maybe it can be converted into a horse farm. The horse farm has been quite good in the past two years." Liu Ming shook his head with a smile.

"The suburbs of Beijing are a good place, but most of the Anderson Ranch is full of sheep, and there are not many Quarter Horses. I suggest you go to Milton or Laura Ranch. If there are not many, you can go to Xiaohuamao." Li Han said , The Anderson Ranch raises sheep. There are tens of thousands of sheep, mutton sheep and sheep, hundreds of alpacas, and grass-mud horse beasts. Although there are horse farms, most of them have poor bloodlines.

"Han, maybe you can try raising some horses, what do you think?" Liu Ming shook the wine glass in his hand, Li Han frowned. "I need to think about this matter." "I can pay some money, or count it as a deposit. Of course, cooperation is also good. I have no problem."

The more doubts in Li Han's mind, Liu Ming's conditions should be too good, Li Han didn't know that he had such great charm or energy. "It's really an attractive condition. Well, up front, one hundred horse quarters, I need a deposit of half a million dollars."

"Okay, no problem, Han, I think you should understand what I want." Liu Ming's eyes changed, and he gently shook the wine glass.

"No problem, I can't guarantee that the bloodline is the best, but it is definitely the most comfortable horse to ride." Li Han knew that as long as he had a good horse with a high IQ, it would definitely save time and effort in training.

"The sooner we cooperate, let's have a toast." Liu Ming raised his wine glass with a smile. Li Han touched the whiskey in the glass and drank it. He stood up and said to Liu Ming. "Sorry, I'll go over first." "It's okay." Liu Ming said with a smile.

Li Han smiled and hugged Andre while holding the wine glass. "Uncle Andre, how are you doing recently?" "It's not bad, except for the damn grass." Andre poured a glass of whiskey and patted Li Han on the shoulder. "Little Hank, yes, the new pasture is very successful, congratulations."

"Thank you, I think the pasture will be better, and God will bless you." Andre is a nice person, Li Han said after chatting for a while. "Uncle Andre, maybe I can help you."

Andre was in trouble, the pasture was severely withered, pests and drought, most small farms could not afford the rise in pasture prices, sold cattle, sheep and even farms. "Thanks, Han, I'll take care of it." "No, no, Uncle Andre, it's something that will benefit us both."

Li Han said a bit, his other two neighbors, Glasserman Grassland Li Han did a good job, Dudu helped, most of the bugs were wiped out, and the other two sent people to sign a free grassland rental contract with Li Han, six For months, Li Han undertook to remove pests and weeds. "Thank God, Han, I'm going to have a drink with you, that's great news."

"Andre, you're disturbing the guests. Maybe I shouldn't have invited you over." Anderson was slightly displeased, and Andre said with a smile. "No, no, no, Anderson today is my lucky day, Han, this is my brother, hey."

Li Han took a look at Anderson and Andre, and he was somewhat similar to Andre, but his personality was too different, which Li Han never expected. "Sorry, Han, Andre, come with me, maybe it can help you."

"No, Anderson, Han has already solved the problem for me. We are about to have a drink. You want a drink." Andre raised his glass. "Oh, Han is a good young man, of course." Anderson looked at the young man in front of him. In just a few years, he went from a black worker to a good farm owner, and it was worth a toast for it.

Li Han and Andre, the Anderson brothers had a drink. Andre was in a good mood and introduced his family to Li Han. Andre's son, David, was going to college in New York. He was a great guy. His youngest daughter was a blonde girl, eleven or twelve Years old, looked at Li Han curiously. "Oh, Han, is China fun?" "Of course, China is as great a country as the United States, with five thousand years of civilization and a vast territory." Li Han said with a smile.

Oh Liz, I asked again, is the Great Wall really long? Bruce Lee is not much, Li Han answered one by one, Dolores was very happy, stretched out her small hand and said, Li Han shook. "Han, we are friends now, can you tell me more about China, David doesn't want to talk to me about it."

Li Han nodded with a smile. "Of course, oh, I have a small gift for you." Li Han took out a little foot and gave it to Dolores.

"Wow, it's really cute." The chubby little foot pendant is extremely cute. "Thank you, Han." "It's just a little foot." Dolores pouted a teenage boy while playing.

Dolores was upset and pulled Li Han. "This is the most interesting gift I have received." "Thank you, I think I should tell you the story behind this gift." Li Han said with a smile.

Contentment and constant happiness come from Chapter 44 of "Tao Te Ching", "Which one is related to name and body? Which is richer in body or goods? What is sickness in gain or death? Very much love will cost a lot, and a lot of possession will lead to death. Therefore, contentment is not humiliating, There is no way in the world, but soldiers and horses are born in the suburbs. There is no crime greater than desire, no blame than desire, and no disaster greater than ignorance Sufficient. Therefore, knowing the sufficiency of sufficiency will always be enough.”

Li Han translates it, meaning, there is a way in the world, and the horses are returned to the fields for farming. There is no way in the world, and soldiers and horses gallop in the suburbs. There is no greater misfortune than not knowing how to use troops, and no greater fault than falling for the enemy's tricks. So the sufficiency of sufficient knowledge is the sufficiency of eternity.

"Wow, Han, is this really what the ancients said more than two thousand years ago? That's great, Emerton, did you hear that?" Dolores happily kissed the little feet in her hands, and pulled Li Han to continue listening to the story , contentment and happiness, many small stories, Buddhism and Taoism, and so on. After Li Han finished speaking, he found that there were many guests around. "It's a good story, Han, it's wonderfully told." Many applauded lightly, yes, it's a good story.

You must know that many people don't know China. The American people don't even know where Afghanistan or Iraq is.

Li Han was distressed that Dolores followed him with a face full of admiration, which made people happy and helpless. Fortunately, Little Dudu came to rescue his father. Dudu washed the apples, squeezed a small bucket of juice, and drank a large cup by himself. Bring dad a big glass.

"Dad, Dudu squeezed the juice, it's delicious." "Good boy, Dudu, this is Miss Dolores." "Oh, hello, Sister Dolores." "Good Dudu, Dudu wants to call Oh little aunt."

Li Han shook his head helplessly, such a little girl, don't make trouble, and Andre must kill herself. Liu Ming just walked over at this moment, and gave Li Han a thumbs up gesture. "Not bad, I really have a good eye."

Li Han and Liu Ming were somewhat familiar with each other, they winked at Liu Ming and snorted angrily. "Han, let's have a beer." "German beer?" "Of course, it's rare that you forget where the owner is from?"
