Chapter 24

"Dudu, this little guy doesn't know where he's gone to play." Li Han squatted by the flower bed, carefully observing the plants watered with the space spring water. In just a day and a half, the changes were truly significant. The leaves had thickened by a third and were tender, while the flowers had grown to the size of two fingers and were even more vibrant. It was truly a remarkable miracle.

The space spring water not only had effects within the space but also had a noticeable effect outside, although not as pronounced. Even so, it was astonishing. Li Han finally managed to calm himself down. Everything was not yet fully proven. Li Han thought about finding a flower pot, picked up a shovel, and went to the grassland, digging up a piece of soil from the pasture and placing it in the pot to bring back to the courtyard.

Li Han planned to conduct several experiments. He put corn, barley, and pasture grass in three separate pots. For comparison, he also prepared three more pots with the same corn, barley, and pasture grass, choosing two types of pasture grass: ryegrass and alfalfa. He added soil and fertilizer, sowed the seeds, and watered them with both space spring water and ordinary river water. The contrast was even more evident. After setting everything up, Li Han's mood gradually calmed down. When he was observing the flower bed, his heart was pounding with excitement.

Li Han returned to the living room, drank a large glass of iced water, and leaned back on the sofa, taking several deep breaths to finally calm himself down. If the experimental results were significant, Li Han would truly be in luck. With his years of experience managing a farm, he could see the enormous wealth potential. "No, I must stay calm. I absolutely cannot let anyone else find out. Where is Dudu? When he comes back, I need to have a serious talk with him."

At the same time, little Dudu was sitting in a big chair, swinging his little boots leisurely. One hand held a fancy little cake, which he was munching on, while the other pointed to the Brahman calf Xiaobai and the golden retriever Xiaomili. "Cake Grandpa, this is Xiaobai the cow. Xiaobai runs so happily. Xiaomili the puppy is very well-behaved. Xiaobai, Xiaomili, this is the white-bearded Cake Grandpa."

Dudu had seen his father introduce Aunt Daina and Grandpa Xiudun to Uncle Weili in the same way. He had learned and was now politely introducing his cow and puppy to the white-bearded grandpa. "Hello." The old man bent slightly and extended his hand to shake Xiaomili's paw. The Brahman calf Xiaobai mooed a few times, not paying much attention. Dudu pouted and patted the cow. "Xiaobai, you need to be polite." He then grabbed the cow's hoof and placed it in the old man's hand. The old man paused for a moment and smiled, shaking the cow's hoof.

"Pandora, do you need more?" Glasserman wiped his hands and took the milk pot from the butler, pouring hot milk for Dudu. "Mm-hmm." Dudu was not at all shy. Just a moment ago, the little guy had dragged a German shepherd and suddenly appeared in front of Glasserman, scaring the butler and servants who were far away. They knew the master's temper very well. However, they did not expect Glasserman to not drive away the suddenly intruding little girl or scold everyone.

Dudu ate two large pieces of cake and drank a big glass of hot milk, his belly bulging. After eating his fill, he giggled and jumped off the chair, reaching into the bag on the cow to pull out two large tomatoes. "Cake Grandpa, here, have some."

"Thank you." Glasserman smiled and took the tomatoes, handing them to the butler. Dudu pouted, and Glasserman gestured to the butler. "Wash them and cut them up, then bring them over." "Yes, sir."

The butler, Vessa, was somewhat surprised. Glasserman rarely treated people so kindly, usually being serious, stubborn, and even obsessive. After washing and cutting the tomatoes, Vessa brought them over. Glasserman took a fork and tasted them, somewhat surprised. "Vessa, did Mrs. Otto handle these?"

"No, sir, I just washed and cut them as you instructed." Vessa, with the rigor of a British butler, was even a bit stiff. Glasserman nodded. "You're not needed here, go on." "Yes, sir."

Pandora, from the moment Glasserman first saw her, felt very close. The slightly mischievous Dudu took Glasserman's glasses and examined him closely, whispering cutely, gesturing with her hands, pointing at the white beard, white hair, and the old man, occasionally glancing at the cake on the table, holding her guard dog. Glasserman had never seen such a cute and full of wonder girl before. He rarely felt the urge to play with a child, but this time, he did, leading to the current scene. "These are really good tomatoes, thank you, Pandora."

Dudu was delighted, proudly puffing out her little chest. The old man had praised her again. "Mm-hmm, Dudu planted them." "Really?" "Mm-hmm, Dudu plants vegetables." Dudu nodded vigorously, and Glasserman smiled, standing up and leading Dudu to a vegetable garden.

Dudu actually recognized all the vegetables and even knew how to use the garden tools to till the soil and water the plants. Glasserman stood by, watching Dudu plant with great joy, a rare smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Pandora was as pure as a newborn, her smile so beautiful, truly a little angel. Dudu was having a great time, loving to plant vegetables. The George Farm house was surrounded by vegetables, and Li Han had forbidden Dudu from approaching the seed room and planting vegetables around the house.

Dudu and Glasserman, one old and one young, squatted together, digging, planting seeds, and watering. Even Glasserman became Dudu's helper. After all the seeds were planted, Dudu reluctantly left the garden. Glasserman instructed Vessa, "Buy two more bags of vegetable seeds and turn this grassland into a vegetable garden." "Yes, sir." Vessa rarely saw Glasserman smile, especially since the lady's passing, when the old man had become even more stubborn and gloomy.

Glasserman instructed two maids to follow Dudu, as the little girl was about to go home. Dudu had promised to come back and help the white-bearded grandpa plant vegetables. Glasserman saw Dudu off, and Dudu politely said goodbye to Glasserman, the butler, and the servants. As she left, she said goodbye to the dogs, patted them, rode the calf, and led Xiaomili down the road. Vessa instructed two male servants to ride horses and escort Dudu. Glasserman stood at the door, looking at the bulldog and the sheepdog.

"Sir." Vessa called softly, and Glasserman nodded. "What a lovely little angel, Vessa, go back." "Yes, sir." Vessa followed into the estate, closing the iron gate. "Sir, the gate is open."

"Yes, sir, but the Kestrel Small Farm Association called, it seems they have something to discuss with you." Vessa stood by Glasserman's side and said.

"Vessa, don't worry about it. I won't underpay my land tax, and the president has no authority over my ranch." Glasserman didn't even ask what the matter was.

"Yes, sir." Vessa stood straight, and the Kestrel Small Farm Association's calls would no longer be answered.

Dudu was very happy. The cake from the white-bearded grandpa was delicious, and the milk was good. She had planted many vegetables, and the white-bearded grandpa had invited her to come back and plant more. Dudu patted her full belly happily, rode the calf, and led Xiaomili back to the intersection. "Oh no, Dudu is lost again."

Dudu took out the pendant around her neck, which her father Li Han had written on. She waved her little hand, and the two male servants following her dismounted. "Dudu's home." It had Li Han's address, phone number, and name. Dudu's green card had not yet been processed, and Li Han hoped to get it done as soon as possible, but due to some birth certificate issues, it had not been resolved. Li Han couldn't send Dudu to school, which troubled him a lot.

At the farm, Li Han had checked the clock several times. It was almost noon, and Dudu still hadn't returned. Li Han was getting worried and searched around the house. "That's strange, Dudu hasn't come back so late."

Usually, little Dudu would have a snack by ten o'clock. Li Han usually ate four meals a day, but now he added a snack at ten in the morning and a tea time at three-thirty in the afternoon. "Daina, have you seen Pandora?"

"Han, I'm really sorry, I haven't seen Pandora. Do you need me to help you look for her?" Daina really liked Dudu and had made her leather boots, a calf saddle, a leather water bag, and a bag for free. Dudu had even helped Daina drive the calf across the river the morning before. Daina seemed to see herself from over a decade ago, a little cowgirl.

"No, Daina, you're busy. I think Dudu will be back soon." Just as Li Han finished speaking, Dudu's laughter rang out, a clear and unique giggle. "Pandora." "Aunt Daina, Dad."

Dudu jumped off the calf and pounced into Li Han's arms. Li Han was caught off guard and fell onto the grass, laughing bitterly and rubbing his sore bottom, tapping Dudu's little head. "Get up." Daina laughed and helped Li Han up, while Dudu giggled and hugged Li Han's leg. "Naughty, Daina, I'm taking Dudu back."
