Chapter 93

Li Han and Dudu, the father-daughter duo, tinkered in the space all night. Early the next morning, Li Han brought Dudu to the beer shack to check on the malt in the space. It had fermented well, so Li Han took the little one to transport the malt. "Dudu, carry the small bags, Dad will carry the big ones."

"No, Dudu wants to carry the big ones," Dudu pouted, unwilling to comply. She was quite strong, running over to the large bag of malt and heaving it out of the space with great effort, not forgetting to call out to her father. "Dad, come quickly, Dudu is about to drop it."

Li Han really couldn't do anything about the little one, so he hurried out to help. Dudu's little face was red, but she looked quite proud. Li Han pinched her little nose. "Alright, help Dad carry the small bags, okay?" "Okay," she reluctantly nodded. Li Han started the equipment and poured in the malt. The father and daughter made several trips back and forth, and by the morning, all the ingredients were added. Li Han was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa. Dudu, mimicking her father, sprawled out with her belly sticking out, not at all like a little lady. Li Han tapped her head. "Sit properly." "Dad isn't sitting properly either," Dudu pouted, her nose wrinkled and her mouth jutting out. Li Han, helpless, got up and sat properly.

He really couldn't do anything about the little one. After getting up to stretch, he started preparing breakfast. Dudu helped by washing vegetables and learning to cut tomatoes and cucumber strips with a small knife. Her cuts were crooked but quite amusing, making Li Han laugh. Dudu got angry and refused to continue, fussing at Li Han. "Dudu, Aunt Daina is delivering milk. Go and get a small bucket of milk, and Dad will make you milk tofu." "Okay, Dudu and Little Black will go together." Dudu cheered, grabbed the playful Little Black, and ran out of the house with a small milk bucket.

Li Han re-cut the tomatoes and cucumbers, added cream and salad dressing, and tasted it. It was really good. Dudu filled the milk bucket, drank half of it while leaning on the bucket, and Little Black, mimicking Dudu, almost fell into the bucket, scaring her into hugging Dudu tightly. "Aunt Daina, Little Black is so timid." "Yes, the little one is too timid. Dudu, let Aunt Daina help you carry it."

"Dudu can carry it, Dudu is very strong," Dudu easily lifted the milk bucket, one hand around Little Black's neck, dragging the little bear along. Daina finally freed the poor little bear, but Little Black crawled back to Dudu.

Dudu continued dragging Little Black, whose belly was exposed, legs stretched out, and paws tightly gripping Dudu's arm. They dragged back to the house. "Daina, good morning, try the freshly baked bread."

Daina took a piece of bread, tore off a bit, and put it in her mouth, looking blissful. "Han, it's delicious." "Thank you, how about a cup of hot coffee?" Li Han brewed the coffee and poured a cup for Daina. Dudu raised her hand, eating bread and calling out, "Dudu wants coffee too." "Kids can't drink coffee, have some yogurt instead." Li Han smiled, wiped the bread crumbs from Dudu's mouth, and gave her a cup of yogurt. Dudu happily hugged the cup and drank the delicious yogurt.

Breakfast was simple, and Daina stayed to eat some. She took the extra milk back to make cheese or yogurt and feed the lambs. Li Han busied himself preparing lunch for Dudu. Later, Li Han and Dudu would go to the town center square to join the kindergarten parade. Dudu changed into a small dinosaur costume, chubby with a big tail, waddling as she walked. She practiced on the grass, wobbling and swaying, making Li Han laugh. Dudu refused to stop, insisting that Dad wear a big dinosaur costume. Li Han quickly surrendered, helping to modify the costume to make it lighter. Dudu happily swayed her little tail and climbed into the pickup truck.

At the town center square, Cynthia was already there, along with a few other students dressed in various dinosaur costumes. The little ones were familiar with Li Han, especially Michelle, who was the same age as Dudu. Both were carnivorous dinosaurs, with Dudu being a super T-Rex and Michelle a Giganotosaurus. The two little ones wagged their tails and giggled together. "Han, thank you for your hard work." "No problem, come on, kids, let's go."

Li Han loaded the little 'dinosaurs' into the car. Dudu and Michelle, along with Rem and Cimi, followed Cynthia closely. Cynthia's car was a GMC, a big vehicle. They transported about ten little dinosaurs to the entrance of the Chris Estate, where they prepared protest signs and held them up. Cynthia led the way, protesting against the estate's hunting of small animals. The protest was quite interesting, with some passersby stopping to watch or walking around.

The hunting grounds were already open, and Chris had done a good job. Whenever a bus arrived at the estate, the ten little dinosaurs would gather around, holding their signs. Many tourists were curious and often stayed to watch, but most still chose to enter the estate. By noon, three buses had arrived, mostly foreign tourists. Over a hundred tourists had come, and not a single one had turned back because of the protest. The little dinosaurs had worked hard all morning, but their signs seemed to have no effect.

At noon, the little dinosaurs ran to the shade, took off their costumes, and were drenched in sweat, their little faces red. Li Han brought out a cooler and prepared lunch. The Chris Estate sent over iced drinks and hamburgers, which were quite good, but Dudu didn't eat them. She was picky, so Li Han opened a lunch box and a food container, slicing beef thinly and adding sauce, stewing chicken soup, toasting cream bread, and preparing small ice creams and a plate of cookies. "Dudu, share with your classmates."

Dudu generously gave cookies to Michelle and the others. Li Han opened a bottle of cola and handed it to Cynthia. "The kids did a great job today." "Yes, they are all the best. Han, Dudu has great leadership skills."

A group of little ones surrounded Dudu, who didn't know what to say. Michelle, Rem, and Cimi listened intently, munching on cookies. After a short rest, they put on their dinosaur costumes again and walked around the Chris Estate. Li Han sent Cimi and the others back to the town square and took Dudu back to the small farm. After a bath, Dudu had a great day, learning a lot about protecting small animals and dinosaur knowledge.

Dudu counted out the top ten carnivorous dinosaurs on her fingers: T-Rex, Velociraptor, Deinonychus, Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Allosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Megalosaurus. She spoke confidently, describing their sizes and appearances, which was quite impressive.

"Dudu, take a bath and have some ice cream." "Wow, ice cream." Dudu cheered and ran into the bathroom, coming out a while later, clean and fresh. She put on her own pink shorts and a pink T-shirt, looking adorable.

Li Han handed Dudu a big bowl of ice cream, and she sat on the sofa, swinging her legs, happily eating. Li Han turned on the TV. "Dudu, watch TV, Dad is going to Aunt Daina's. Be good." "Okay, Dudu will watch TV and play with Big White and Little White." "Good girl, if you're sleepy, go to bed." Li Han patted Dudu's head and left, riding his four-wheeler to George's farm.

Daina, Hutton, and Jim were there, herding the cattle back to the fourth pasture, preparing to move them to a new one the next morning. "Han, come here, look at our farm's first calf, a healthy little one." Li Han stopped his four-wheeler and walked over quickly. "It's a heifer, Han, a good girl." The calf wobbled to its feet, and Li Han approached, extending his hand. The calf licked his hand. "Han, it likes you."

"Yes, a beautiful girl. Jim, Hutton, Daina, let's have a drink to celebrate the farm's first calf and a better future for the farm." Li Han was excited, petting the calf, which seemed to like him a lot, rubbing against his hand.

In the evening, Li Han brought out a large barrel of beer, grilled beef and chicken, and prepared a salad. The meal was abundant. Dudu poured a drink and raised a glass to toast with her father. Li Han smiled and ruffled her hair. "Let's toast to the farm's first calf and a better future for the farm."

"To the farm's first calf." "Dudu wants to toast too." Dad didn't wait for Dudu, so she finished her drink and poured herself a glass of milk, gulping it down. "Dudu toasts, I'm a big girl now." "Good, Dudu toasts." Li Han cut a piece of beef and put it on Dudu's plate. The little one had already eaten a large chicken leg, two glasses of milk, a glass of juice, and a small cake.

Li Han handed a beer to Daina, took a bite of grilled meat, and said, "Jim, is everything ready for the move tomorrow? Do you need any help?" Jim wiped the beer foam from his mouth, handed the cup to Daina, and said, "No problem, Han."

"Another round."

Dudu patted her belly, unable to drink any more, her face looking a bit sad. She hadn't grown up yet and couldn't drink as much as her father and Aunt Daina. She pouted, holding the playful Little Black, who was curled up, belly exposed, lying in her arms, whimpering and pawing at his belly, hungry. Dudu gave Little Black the full glass of milk and secretly poured another small one, planning to toast with her father again later.
