The time difference still has some impact. Early in the morning, everyone was in low spirits. Li Han waited for a while, and it wasn't until a little after nine that he woke up the family. Baby didn't want to get out of bed, and the family had no choice but to laugh at the little one until he finally rubbed his eyes and got up to chase Doudou. The two little ones had become familiar overnight, but for some reason, they loved to play and fight. They both wanted the same things, like Doudou's red basin. Baby would see it and want it, even pouting and whining to Uncle Li Han. Li Han tried to persuade Doudou, saying that the sister was a guest, but little Doudou wouldn't listen.

Li Han and Li Mei finally managed to get the two little rascals to wash their faces, but then they started arguing over brushing their teeth. "Doudou makes the most bubbles." "Hmph, that's not true, Doudou doesn't make as many bubbles as Baby." The two little ones brushed their teeth three times, and if Grandma Zhang hadn't seen it, they might have brushed even more. The sink was full of white bubbles. "These two kids," Grandma Zhang scooped some water to rinse it off. Li Mei pulled Baby aside to scold him, telling him to let his sister have her way.

Baby pouted, saying that Doudou was stronger than him, so he didn't want to give in. Li Han and Li Mei were helpless. They thought the two little ones had been getting along well last night, sleeping together and reading a book, but now they were throwing tantrums. "Sis, it's okay. Kids are like that, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Let them play on their own. Doudou, take Baby to see Niu Niu."

"Okay, Baby, let's go see Niu Niu, Doudou's Niu Niu." Doudou said, not forgetting to claim the Brahman calf as her own. Baby's eyes lit up, and he followed Doudou closely. Li Mei was worried they might get hurt, as the calf, though called "little," was actually quite large and had long horns.

"Sis, it's fine. Kids need to toughen up a bit." Li Han was busy making breakfast. The kitchen utensils were a bit unfamiliar to Grandma Zhang, so Li Han helped his mother. He hadn't eaten his mother's cooking for a long time and was a bit hungry.

Li Mei, seeing her brother helping her mother in the kitchen, was still a bit worried. She complained about her husband, Zhou Bin, driving the car so early in the morning. Li Mei was timid and deeply feared the calf's horns might hurt the two little ones, so she planned to call them back.

Baby was a bit braver than his mother but still didn't dare to touch the calf. He just followed Doudou closely. "Doudou, the calf is eating grass." "Xiao Bai loves to eat grass." Doudou nodded and squatted down to pull some grass to feed the calf. Baby imitated her, but Xiao Bai didn't eat it. Doudou patted Xiao Bai. "Xiao Bai, don't be picky." This was something Doudou had learned from her grandmother, as Baby didn't like green peppers, and her grandmother had said this.

Xiao Bai glanced at Baby, then extended his tongue to curl up the grass in Baby's hand. Baby was delighted, giggling and patting Xiao Bai, very happy. The two little ones, with their little bottoms sticking out, took turns pulling grass to feed Xiao Bai. Li Mei watched, feeling quite moved. Growing up in the city, she had never been so close to a cow before. However, Li Mei was quite timid and was scared to move when Xiao Bai looked up at her.

Doudou turned around and ran over, handing the grass she had pulled to Li Mei. "Auntie, feed Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai is very well-behaved, just like Doudou." "Doudou, you're blushing, praising yourself." "Baby, Doudou, you're both very well-behaved." Li Mei gave Baby a look, and Baby pouted, huffed, and turned to feed Xiao Bai, not speaking to his mother.

Doudou pouted and pulled Li Mei closer to the calf. Xiao Bai seemed to know Li Mei was timid and quietly ate the grass. Li Mei carefully reached out to touch him, feeling quite excited. Seeing that Xiao Bai was indeed as well-behaved as Doudou said, Li Mei's playful side emerged. She squatted down like Doudou and Baby, pulling grass to feed the calf. The three of them, one big and two small, surrounded the dwarf Brahman calf, which was quite amusing. Li Han, who had finished helping his mother with breakfast, called them to eat, laughing and holding his stomach, finding it quite entertaining.

Li Mei blushed, embarrassed, and stood up, giving Li Han a look. "Sis, if you want to feed the cows, we can go to my George Farm after we finish touring the town. There are about two hundred cows, more than ten horses, and over a hundred sheep."

"So many?" Li Mei hadn't asked about this before. She thought Li Han's small farm was already quite large, with a big circle of land and a large house, much bigger than a villa. "Is that a lot? Some people have thousands or even tens of thousands."

On the way back, Li Han told Li Mei about the farm. Li Mei was quite surprised that one person could raise so many cows and sheep. "Auntie, Doudou raises Xiao Bai." Doudou raised her hand proudly. "Doudou is so capable." Li Mei praised her and patted Doudou's head. Baby, standing nearby, was envious and pouted. "Baby wants to raise a calf too." "Okay, after we go to the farm, Uncle will pick a calf for you to raise." Li Han smiled, knowing that the little one loved to compete for things, regardless of size.

"Okay, Baby wants a bigger calf than Doudou." Baby looked up at Li Han with expectation. "Okay, let's eat first. Doudou and Baby, go wash your hands." Li Han didn't spoil the children too much. They could wash their hands and faces on their own. As for hand soap and other things, Li Han didn't buy them, thinking it unnecessary. Kids don't need so many things; a bit of dirt won't hurt them.

Li Mei was still a bit worried that the two little ones wouldn't play with water again. "Sis, it's fine. Usually, Doudou washes her hands alone and plays by herself. I'm busy every day and can't take care of her, but she's still healthy. Kids shouldn't be spoiled too much."

"You, Doudou is so young. Last night, I saw her trying to wash the dishes and almost cried. You didn't see how Mom wanted to give you a few slaps. Kids, where have you learned to treat them like this? They're not little maids in a landlord's house." Li Mei said angrily. Li Han smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had just taught Doudou to wash dishes, and last night, the little one had tried to move a chair to wash the dishes, which had made Zhang Xiuying very worried. Li Han had been criticized by the whole family. In America, it's not a big deal for kids to do what they can, like washing dishes, which isn't tiring.

Li Han didn't say anything this time. Doudou quickly brought Baby back, and breakfast was ready. Li Ping, who had been practicing Tai Chi by the pond, returned, and Brother-in-law Zhou Bin was excited, giving Li Han a thumbs up, saying the car was really good.

"Brother-in-law, if you like it, you can drive it. I can ride my motorcycle." Li Han's second-hand Harley was well-maintained, and he usually didn't ride it. Now that he had money, though he didn't want to damage it, he didn't treat it as a treasure anymore, keeping it in the garage.

"Xiao Han, forget it. I'm not familiar with the traffic rules here. I'll just drive around the farm. I haven't ridden a horse before." Brother-in-law Zhou Bin waved his hand, saying it was better to drive around the farm and follow the traffic rules when going out, as he wasn't familiar with them.

"Okay, after we go to the town and buy some things, we'll go horseback riding. Dad, Mom, Sister, you should try it. It's quite easy. I'll call Hutton and Dina to prepare." Li Han suggested.

"Your father and I are too old for that. We can't handle it." Zhang Xiuying gave Doudou and Baby each a piece of meat. "Mom, it's fine. The horses on the farm are very gentle. I'll have Dina take you."

"Grandma, Baby will ride the big horse with you." Baby waved his little spoon, excited. Baby wasn't very good with chopsticks and used a spoon to eat. Li Mei had scolded Baby for this, and the little one had almost cried. Zhang Xiuying had scolded Li Mei, and the issue of learning to use chopsticks was put aside. Baby had even fought with Doudou over it, as Doudou could use chopsticks.

"Doudou will ride the calf, and Grandma will come too." Doudou waved her little hand, still eating a piece of meat. The two little ones were always competing. "Okay, I'll go with Baby and Doudou. Baby, eat another piece of meat. Look how well-behaved Doudou is. Eat more."

Baby pouted, saying that Doudou had a big belly. Baby had just eaten a bowl of rice, while Doudou had eaten two bowls and wanted more. Doudou listened to Grandma and nodded, eating big bites. Her little mouth was oily, and after finishing, she jumped off the chair and ran to the pot to serve herself, something Baby couldn't do well. He needed his mother to help. Zhang Xiuying watched Doudou, who could dress herself, wash dishes, and serve herself, and almost cried. She glared at Li Han, wondering how he could be such a father to such a young child.

Li Han couldn't do much about this and gave his father, Li Ping, a look. This time, Li Ping stood on his mother's side, and Brother-in-law and Li Mei criticized Li Han. Li Han had no choice but to admit his mistake. Doudou was confused, scratching her head, wondering why Grandma's eyes were red.

"Grandma, don't cry. Doudou doesn't cry. Crying isn't for good children." Doudou imitated her father, reaching out to wipe Zhang Xiuying's eyes. "Okay, Doudou, Grandma won't cry." Zhang Xiuying said, then turned to Li Han. "You little rascal, quickly find a wife. Look at how pitiful a child without a mother is."
