Chapter 36

The two little ones started to play around, and the older sister quickly took Dudu and Baobao to feed the lambs, calming them down. Seeing everything was fine, Li Han went to help his father make the sauce noodles, which smelled delicious. Li Han ate two large bowls, his belly bulging. Dudu and Baobao, the two little ones, ate until their bellies were round, praising the taste. Father Li Pinghe said the water here was good, the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was fragrant, even better than what they made at home. Li Han chuckled, knowing that he usually used the water from the space spring, which made the dishes and soups taste even better.

"Xiao Han, I heard the water from the pasture has been diverted by someone else." After dinner, back at the small farm, Li Han brewed a pot of green tea and chatted with his father and brother-in-law. "It might be due to severe drought upstream, and the irrigation needs are high. It hasn't rained for days. I plan to use the pesticide sprayer to water the drier areas first. The areas near the small river don't need to be rushed."

"That's the only way for now. Why don't I help you tomorrow?" the brother-in-law said.

"Sure, tomorrow you can drive the pickup truck with a large water tank," Li Han said with a smile. "Dudu will carry water." "Baobao also wants to help Uncle carry water." "Good kids." Li Han patted the two little ones' heads with a smile.

"Then you should go to bed early," Li Pinghe put down his teacup and said. "Yes, Dad, we'll go to bed soon." After the two elders went to sleep, the sister took Baobao and Dudu to bathe. Li Han secretly signaled to his brother-in-law Zhou Bin and went to the makeshift shooting range behind the small building to indulge in some shooting. On the way back, Zhou Bin kept talking. "This thing is really powerful, one shot can knock down a cow." "Really? It's that powerful. I heard one shot can even knock down an elephant."

"Really? It's that powerful, but my wrist is a bit numb." The brother-in-law rubbed his wrist, and Li Han smiled. "It is a bit, but you'll get used to it with practice." "Xiao Han, let's try it again tomorrow night, it's really fun."

"Sure, I bought two hundred bullets this time, enough to play for a few days." Li Han finally got to try the Colt Python today, but its power was much less than the M500, though it was still quite good. The two sneaked back to the small building. Li Mei, who was drying Baobao's hair, gave her husband a disapproving look. "You, how old are you to still play around with Xiao Han?" "Hehe, Dad, Dudu said Uncle took you to shoot, she heard it."

Baobao giggled. The little one, Li Han chuckled. "Sis, is Dudu asleep? I'll go check. This girl still wets the bed at night, she needs to wear a diaper."

"Wow, Dudu wets the bed, but Baobao doesn't." Baobao opened her eyes wide and clapped her hands happily.

"Don't move, you're not as well-behaved as Dudu." "Hmph, Baobao is very well-behaved." "Good, you're the best. Don't move, Mom will dry you and put you to bed."

Li Han signaled to his brother-in-law and quickly left. Back in the bedroom, Dudu was playing with two little turkeys. Seeing her father, she quickly covered them with a blanket, pretending she hadn't done anything. "Dudu, put the chicks in the box." "But they'll be cold." "It's okay."

Li Han uncovered the blanket and put the two little turkeys back in the box. Dudu, in her little pajamas, jumped out of bed and followed her father. "Dudu will cover the chicks with a blanket."

Dudu found a small towel and covered the chicks, like a blanket. "Good, Dudu, go back to bed." "Okay." Dudu nodded obediently. Li Han opened the drawer and took out a diaper, but Dudu refused to wear it. "Dudu doesn't wet the bed anymore, Baobao laughed at me."

Dudu pouted, and Li Han, seeing this, gave in. "Okay, when you need to pee, tell Dad, and I'll turn on the light."

The diaper was put back in the drawer. Li Han pulled the blanket over Dudu, turned off the bedside lamp, and went to take a shower. He was quite tired and fell asleep soon after.

The next morning, the whole family woke up. Mom and Dad had already prepared breakfast: rice porridge, boiled corn, and Li Han's pickled duck eggs, with the yolks oozing oil. Dudu and Baobao, the two little ones, were drooling, eating with their mouths full of oil, and drinking a large bowl of porridge. Li Han, who rarely ate his mother's porridge, had two large bowls with simple side dishes. "I'll clean up the dishes with your father, Xiao Han, you go and work."

"Okay, sis, take care at home." Li Han said to Li Mei as he left. "Xiao Han, watch over Baobao and Dudu, don't worry about the house, Zhou Bin, drive slowly." "Got it, sis." "Yes, my dear wife."

"You, you're always so playful." "Wow, Mom's blushing." Baobao cheered, making Li Mei raise her hand to scare her, and she ran to hide behind her uncle. Dudu pouted, as she had wet the bed again last night and was teased by Baobao. Baobao was a big bad girl.

Dudu didn't talk to Baobao anymore. The two little ones, after a lot of fuss, got into the car and were as close as one person. When they arrived at George's farm, Hutton was already waiting. "Boss, good morning."

"Good morning, Hutton, the oil is here." Li Han and his brother-in-law unloaded the oil drums, and the water pump was ready. Hutton drove the pesticide sprayer, and the brother-in-law drove the pickup truck with four large water tanks, each as tall as a person. Li Han rode a four-wheeled motorcycle with two water tanks on the sides and two water buckets on the back, prepared by Dudu and Baobao, who were ready for a big job.

The cars couldn't get too close to the riverbank. Li Han and Hutton changed into rubber boots and pulled the hose into the river, placing the water pump in a good spot. The pesticide sprayer had its own water pump, making it easy to operate. Hutton filled the tank and drove off first.

The water tanks in the pickup truck needed to be filled with the water pump, which was a bit troublesome. Li Han started the diesel engine, and the sound of the engine roared. Zhou Bin held the hose and filled each tank. "Xiao Han, it's full, turn it off." "Okay, let's go."

When they reached the area of the pasture that needed watering, Hutton started. The pesticide sprayer sprayed water, working efficiently. "This thing is really convenient, it can cover over ten meters in one pass."

"That's just the small one. The big farms have even more powerful ones." Li Han pulled the stoppers from the large water tanks, and the water flowed out. Zhou Bin was ready with the hose, and Dudu and Baobao, holding the small red buckets, scooped water and sprinkled it around. Dudu, being stronger, sprinkled the water farther, while Baobao pouted and tried to mimic Dudu, her little face turning red from the effort.

Dudu didn't seem tired at all, running around with the small red bucket to water the distant grass. Baobao followed, but halfway, an accident happened. The water spilled, the bucket flew, and she fell. "Wow, waaah." The little one's overalls were dirty, and she cried loudly.

"Baobao, are you okay? Get up quickly." The brother-in-law ran over and picked up his precious daughter. "You're okay, don't cry. Look, Dudu, who is younger than you, doesn't cry." "Waaah." Baobao sniffled, and Dudu ran over to pick up the small red bucket. "Baobao, here's your bucket."

"Okay." Baobao took the small red bucket, wiped her tears, her face dirty like a little cat, and Dudu wasn't much better, her clothes covered in mud. "Come on, let's scoop more water." "Wow, there are fish in the water." Baobao, holding the bucket, called out happily.

"Really, there are fish." The brother-in-law looked and saw a finger-sized fish in the bucket. Dudu came over, and Baobao put the bucket on the grass. The two little girls surrounded the bucket, squatting on the grass, pointing and talking in their childish way.

In the morning, Li Han and Zhou Bin made seven or eight trips, and Hutton made four or five. They managed to water most of the highland pasture, and they would finish the rest the next day. On the way back, Baobao and Dudu were so tired they fell asleep. The two little ones, especially Dudu, had done a lot of work today. On the way back, Li Han drove the car, leaving the four-wheeled motorcycle at George's farm.

"Baobao and Dudu are asleep. The two little ones are tired. Let them sleep a bit before we wake them for dinner." Li Han took off their clothes and put them to bed. "Okay, Xiao Han, go take a shower and come out for dinner."

"Okay, let the brother-in-law go first, I'll take a shower later." Li Han said, taking off his wet clothes. "It was quite tiring this morning. Remind Michelin to install the equipment early to save some effort."
