Chapter 47

On the way home, Li Han smiled and asked Dudu and Baobao, "Dudu, Baobao, did you have fun today?"

"Daddy, many of the kids didn't want to play with Dudu and Baobao," Dudu said, lowering his little head, a bit disappointed.

"Um, Uncle, the black kids took Baobao's ice cream," Baobao complained.

"Ice cream is so yummy, right, Baobao?" Dudu smacked his lips, his little tongue licking the corners of his mouth, a little glutton. "Yeah, it's so yummy, Uncle, can you make some for us?" Baobao and Dudu looked at Li Han with hopeful faces.

"Sure, Uncle will make some for you, but we won't give it to the naughty kids," Li Han said, not expecting that not only was he subtly excluded, but Dudu and Baobao also received the same treatment, which made him a bit angry.

"Really? Wow, that's great!" The two little ones exclaimed excitedly, and Li Han pinched their little noses.

"You two are such little gluttons." "Hehe, Uncle, can we make such a big ice cream?" Baobao spread her little hands, making a big circle.

"Dudu will help Daddy make it," Dudu said, not to be outdone.

"Dudu is such a good boy, we're home, let's get out of the car," Li Han said, carrying the two excited little ones back home. The family was sitting together watching TV, and when the sister heard the voices, she smiled and said to her mother, "Xiaohan, they're back."

Li Han led the two little ones into the living room, and the whole family was waiting for him. Li Han felt a warm feeling in his heart and showed a smile he hadn't shown all evening. "Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother-in-law, you haven't gone to bed yet?"

"It's still early, your father and I are watching TV. Were Baobao and Dudu well-behaved today?" Zhang Xiuying waved to the two little ones.

"Yes, Baobao and Dudu were very well-behaved," Baobao nodded her little head, and Dudu blinked his big eyes, saying he was very well-behaved.

"Mom, Mom, Uncle said he would make such a big ice cream for Baobao," Baobao ran to her mother and told her the good news.

"You little glutton, Uncle has important things to do, how can he have time to make ice cream for you?" The sister tapped Baobao's little nose, and Baobao giggled, wriggling in her sister's arms, saying, "No, no, ice cream is so yummy, right, Dudu?"

"Uh-huh, yummy," Dudu nodded his head vigorously, affirming.

"These two kids," Mom Zhang Xiuying said with a smile. "Did you eat ice cream somewhere? Why are you still asking for ice cream?"

"At the party, the ice cream tasted pretty good. Let's make some to try another day," Li Han said with a smile.

"This kid, how old are you, still eating ice cream?" Mom gave her son a disapproving look, and Brother-in-law Zhou Bin and the sister laughed. "Ice cream is too cold, why don't we make a cake instead?"

Dudu and Baobao pouted, and Li Han explained that fresh milk ice cream is not much different from a cake, and making it at home is safer. After he explained, the two little ones nodded their heads, looking sleepy.

Mom Zhang Xiuying said to the sister, "Baobao and Dudu are sleepy, let's go to bed, it's getting late."

It was already past ten o'clock. After tidying up and washing up, they went to bed. As Li Han lay down, Ronald's words about the purpose of the party at Xiao Wang's farm came to mind. He vaguely mentioned that Xiao Wang's farm planned to take advantage of the drought to merge or kidnap the small and medium-sized farms around Kemixing, using the drought to exploit the financial difficulties of many farms, and seize the opportunity to act as a guarantor, gaining both reputation and profit.

Li Han thought about it and fell asleep. After a while, his nose itched, and he scratched it, hearing giggles. He opened his eyes and saw Dudu and Baobao on either side of him, playing with his nose with their hair. "You two little rascals, get down."

"Uncle, Uncle, get up quickly, we're going to feed the lambs and clean the sheep pen, remember?" Baobao held Li Han's left hand, and Dudu held his right. Baobao was fine, but when Dudu pulled, Li Han almost fell off the bed, which startled him.

"Okay, okay, Baobao, Dudu, get up first, I'll get dressed." Li Han got dressed, tidied up, and went out. Dudu and Baobao were brushing their teeth by the water basin in the yard, competing to see who could make more and bigger bubbles. Li Han found it amusing, and the little ones never got tired of playing. After Li Han finished brushing his teeth, the two little ones were still not done, so he tapped their heads and said,

"Brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, or Aunt Daina will take the lambs out, and you won't be able to feed them."

The two little ones remembered that they got up early to help Aunt Daina feed the lambs and clean the sheep pen to earn money to pay off the loan. After washing up, Li Han dressed Baobao and Dudu in Mario outfits, equipped them with small gloves, and put the tools for cleaning the sheep pen in the pickup truck.

"Dudu, Baobao, get in the car, we're off." Li Han called to the two little ones who were busy packing snacks and milk bottles. "We're off." "Let's go, run fast, Xiao Milly." The two little ones climbed into the car with their little backpacks, fastened their seat belts, and Li Han started the car and set off.

In the early morning, George's farm was just waking up. Daina was busy preparing milk bottles to feed the lambs. Hearing that Li Han was leading Dudu and Baobao, she smiled and said, "Han, feeding the lambs isn't easy. Are you sure Dudu and Baobao can do it?"

"Dudu is very capable," Dudu patted his little chest. Baobao, though not understanding, mimicked Dudu. "No problem, Daina. I think Dudu and Baobao will learn. Is there anything else you need help with?" Li Han changed into boots and prepared to work, asking.

"Oh, we need to move some salt blocks onto the four-wheeler. It's too hot, and the animals need to replenish their salt," Daina said. Li Han helped load the salt blocks onto the four-wheeler, and hung buckets on both sides.

Back at the sheep pen, Dudu and Baobao had already started feeding the lambs with milk bottles. Dudu quickly learned how to feed the lambs, and the lambs were very obedient. Baobao was a bit flustered, and the lambs were not very cooperative, moving around and making her almost cry. "Baobao, let me help you," Dudu stepped in, and the lambs calmed down. Daina watched enviously, thinking Dudu had a special connection with animals, a good sign for becoming a legendary cowboy.

"Han, it's amazing. I swear, Dudu can become a legendary cowboy," Daina said excitedly to Li Han, who was walking over. "Yes, Daina, Dudu really likes animals. The salt blocks are ready. Is there anything else?"

"No, Han, I'll take care of everything," Daina declined Li Han's offer. "Okay, I'll go talk to Hutton. Please take care of Dudu and Baobao for me."

"No problem, Han, I will. Dudu and Baobao are the cutest little angels," Daina said with a smile.

Li Han left the sheep pen and went to the pasture, where Hutton was herding the cattle to the river. "Han, good morning." "Good morning, Hutton, do you need any help?"

"Of course, we need to move the cattle to the opposite pasture."

Hutton and Li Han herded the cattle across the river to the opposite pasture. As they reached the grazing area for the day, they slowed down on their horses. "Hutton, I have something to discuss with you. I plan to plant pasture grass on the fallow land of Dick, Dikla, and George's farms. What do you think?"

"No, Han, that's not a good idea," Hutton immediately shook his head. Montana was experiencing a severe drought, and planting pasture grass at this time was too risky. "Han, I don't think this is your idea."

"No, Hutton, this is my idea. Don't worry about the funding; Xiao Wang's farm can guarantee our loan from the bank," Li Han said with a smile, his face showing a confidence that Hutton found hard to understand.

"Han, this is crazy. I'm sorry, but this is a foolish idea," Hutton said, his face turning red with anger.

"Hutton, this is an opportunity. I think it's a good idea. I hope you can help me. Anyway, let's not talk about this now. How is the third pasture?" Li Han changed the subject, not wanting to argue about planting pasture grass.

Hutton's face improved, and he said, "It's hard to imagine, but the pasture grass in the third pasture is growing very well. I think it won't be long before we can move our cattle and sheep there."

"That's great news. Mr. Glasserman might feel ashamed of his actions," Li Han was pleased. The pasture grass, irrigated by the spring, was growing well, with deep roots and strong drought resistance. Li Han and Hutton discussed the cattle, and Hutton excitedly told Li Han that several cows were pregnant, a big surprise. Li Han gained a deeper understanding of Dudu's abilities. "Hutton, the farm needs to buy more sheepdogs to prevent wolves from harassing the cattle."

The sheepdogs purchased recently were not satisfactory, and Li Han nodded. Wolves could cause miscarriages in cows, leading to significant losses. The few sheepdogs they had were not enough to protect the entire herd, especially given the increased presence of wild animals due to the Glasserman ranch. "We need a good sheepdog."
