Chapter 28

At Buda Airport, at the exit, Doudou hid behind his father, his little head peeking out curiously to secretly observe the grandparents talking to his father. Grandpa didn't have a white beard, and his hair wasn't white. He wasn't the white-bearded grandpa Doudou had imagined, so Dad had tricked Doudou. Zhang Xiuying and Li Pinghe looked at their somewhat tanned and thin son with a bit of concern. On the side, his sister Li Mei held the baby, while her husband Zhou Bin pushed the luggage.

Li Han smiled and gave Zhang Xiuying a big hug, calling her "Mom," which made Zhang Xiuying tap him lightly. "This kid, how old are you, and you still act so silly." "Mom, that's how Americans greet each other," Li Mei said with a smile.

"Hehe, Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother-in-law, welcome to America. Oh, look, how could Uncle forget to greet our cute little baby?" Li Han squatted down and greeted the curious baby, who had been away for a while and was a bit unfamiliar with his uncle, hiding behind Li Mei, peeking out with his little head.

"Doudou, quickly greet Grandpa and Grandma." The little guy was still a bit shy, but he would get used to it soon. Seeing the baby shy, Li Han smiled and pulled Doudou over. "Grandpa, Grandma, hello, I'm Doudou." Doudou greeted them politely.

"Such a good child, come here and let Grandma hug you." Zhang Xiuying glared at Li Han, then squatted down and picked up Doudou. "Hehe, Doudou is so cute. Baby, come over and see your little sister." Li Mei also pulled the baby over.

"Alright, Xiaohan, let's go home." Li Pinghe, seeing they were blocking the exit, said to Li Han. "Brother-in-law, let me do it." Li Han took the luggage cart from Zhou Bin and pushed it. Doudou got down from Zhang Xiuying's arms, still a bit unaccustomed, a little bold, but now a bit scared. The baby was the same. The luggage was loaded onto the car, and Zhou Bin sat in the front with the baby, while Zhang Xiuying and Li Pinghe sat in the back with Li Mei holding Doudou.

"Mom, Dad, if you're tired, rest a bit. Doudou, be good and don't cause trouble." Li Han started the car and turned to the two elders. "Not tired, I slept well last night." Zhang Xiuying played with her granddaughter, who was very energetic.

Li Mei was quite curious about America and looked out the window at the small town of Buda. Zhou Bin was quite interested in Li Han's pickup truck. The baby bit her little finger and secretly glanced at her uncle who had bought her many toys. Doudou talked to Grandma, and the little guy was very well-behaved.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to try?" Seeing his brother-in-law's interest in the car, Li Han patted the steering wheel and smiled. Zhou Bin was a bit tempted, but when Li Mei glared, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Forget it, just arrived in America, don't know the traffic rules yet. We'll try it when we get back to the farm."

"Hehe, that's fine, let's go back to the farm and rest first." On the way, Li Han chatted with his brother-in-law, and Li Pinghe, Zhang Xiuying, and Li Mei occasionally asked a few questions. It was their first time in America, and they were quite curious, and the scenery along the way was nice.

"Mom, look, this house is so beautiful." Passing a beautiful house, Li Mei pointed excitedly. "It is beautiful. The grass is so green. This little house is so pretty." Zhang Xiuying, who had lived in a teacher's assigned house all her life, nodded. A single-story house with trees and a lawn, with a few pots of flowers on the steps, and the surroundings were very clean. Li Han smiled and said, "Sister, Mom, this is a small town, and there are many such houses along the road, quite common."

"Common? Such a good house is common? It's much better than the houses in our county." Li Mei and Zhang Xiuying looked surprised. Li Han smiled and shook his head. Soon, Li Mei and Zhang Xiuying understood what Li Han meant by "common." Along the way, there were many such houses, and many were even more beautiful.

"The Americans live so well." Zhang Xiuying pouted and said.

"Mom, it's the same everywhere. In America, if you have no money, it's very hard, and if you have money, it's paradise. The God of America also wears a golden crown, not a cowboy hat." The pickup truck turned into the small town of Kemixing. Although Kemixing is considered a semi-farm, semi-ranch, it wasn't affected by the cows and sheep, and the town was very clean. The town felt like a clean, fresh-faced girl, with no buildings over three stories, no large-scale malls, ordinary small houses, and very clean streets with few pedestrians.

"So quiet." "Yes, not as lively as at home." Zhang Xiuying said. Li Pinghe and Zhou Bin looked around the town, and the baby was now more familiar with her uncle, peeking out the window from her father's arms.

"Kemixing Town has only about ten thousand people. There are usually few people on the streets, except during big markets and holiday parades." Li Han smiled and explained, pointing to the shops on the street. "This is a coffee shop, this is Mexican food, and this sells cowboy clothes and boots."

"Cowboy clothes?" Zhou Bin's eyes lit up. Li Han paused. "Brother-in-law, let's go back to the farm first. Tomorrow, after you rest, I'll take you around town. There's a gun shop over there. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see revolvers, shotguns, and Desert Eagles. Old Thomas is a good guy."

"Really? We must go and take a good look." Zhou Bin became even more excited. The baby clapped her hands. "Baby wants to shoot a gun." "Sure, Uncle will take you tomorrow." Li Han smiled and patted the baby's head, and Doudou, seeing this, pouted.

"Kid, is a gun a toy? It's dangerous. America is good in many ways, but this is not. You can't buy guns, no way." Zhang Xiuying glared at her eldest son and warned him.

"Don't worry, Mom. The people in the town are nice, and buying guns is for protection against wild animals and hunting." Li Han didn't stop in town and headed straight for the ranch. It was the weekend, and the central square would be quite busy. On weekends, there are small-scale entertainment activities in the square, such as small concerts, music performances, or just a few people performing after a simple makeup. The quality may not be high, but it adds to the town's atmosphere and creates a joyful ambiance.

Li Han often participated, with Will, Kadi, and other young people treating it like a party. Li Han and Will, Kadi, Harley, and Kelly even formed a band, with Li Han playing the drums, not very well, but having a lot of fun.

After about ten minutes, the group returned to the small farm. Zhang Xiuying, Li Pinghe, Li Mei, Zhou Bin, and the baby got out of the car and looked at the small house in front of them.

"Xiaohan, is this our home?" Zhang Xiuying asked. It was really nice, with a large, neatly trimmed lawn, green and lush, a white house among a few maple trees, a wooden fence around a small yard, flowers on both sides of the fence, and two small flower beds in the yard. On the other side of the fence, a chestnut-brown horse and a strong calf were leisurely eating grass.

"Yes, Mom, this is it. Come on, Doudou, show Grandma and Auntie to their rooms. Dad, Brother-in-law, have some tea and rest." Li Han smiled, carrying the luggage and leading the family into the house. Zhou Bin looked around the room, especially at the fireplace, which is rare in China.

"Really nice, Xiaohan." Zhou Bin looked around and nodded, a bit envious. "If you like it, Brother-in-law, why don't you quit your job and come live here in America?" "You kid, your brother-in-law is different from you." Li Pinghe glared at Li Han.

"Hehe, Xiaohan, I'll pass. Actually, it's pretty good at home." Zhou Bin took the cup of tea Li Han offered and sipped it, smiling.
