The Best Small Farm Chapter 197

   Chapter 197 Picking up cow dung

   The next morning, Colt led little Maria to the small farm. Colt changed into neat casual clothes and was in better spirits than yesterday. Li Han and Colt signed a contract. The salary was neither high nor low. Thinking of Colt's family situation, Li Han paid a week's salary first.

   Colt is very grateful to Li Han for his generosity, knowing that what Colt lacks most now is cash, and even ten dollars is a pleasant surprise to him. Li Han's salary was Dinah's $1200 per month, four hundred a week, plus insurance. Of course, Dinah's dollar bonus was a lot. Li Han didn't know much about Colt, and the bonus depends on Colt's performance. As for little Maria wanting to earn three dollars to redeem her beloved tricycle, Li Han also agreed.

  Cow dung can be dry or wet. Modern equipment is used in the cowshed, which is not needed. However, the pasture needs to be cleaned up. The cow dung is transported to the septic tank or dung heap for treatment. After the treatment, it can be used as fertilizer for next year. "These are work clothes, put them on first, the farmer's cart is fine." Li Han handed Colt the overalls, rubber gloves and rubber boots.

"No problem, boss." Colt was in a good mood, $1,200 was enough for a family in a small town in Montana, especially during the economic storm, when many farm wages dropped below $1,000, Colt said. I felt that God must have heard my prayers and met such a good person. "No problem, I'll take you to the nearest septic tank first to get acquainted, Maria, you can play with your sister for a while, okay?"

  Dudu and Baobao were very interested in comparing themselves to the little girl Maria who was half a year younger. Maria was a little timid, she huddled behind her father and secretly looked at the two sisters who were the same size as her. Maria was holding a small doll in her arms. It was a little white, and the small clothes were a bit outdated and outdated. Li Han guessed that he might have bought it in a second-hand store. The business of second-hand stores has been much better recently. The economic storm has blown to Montana, and most of the ordinary people are financially strapped.

Colt squatted down and comforted Maria, who would be timid. Colt was a little reluctant to kiss Maria. Playing with the boss's children may lead to bullying. I feel wronged. I can't afford it. Colt knew Maria didn't want to stay, but this job was too important to him, to the whole family. Colt didn't dare to look back. He was so afraid that he couldn't control it. Li Han sighed and said to Dudu and Baobao. "You can't bully your sister, Maria, let's take you to play." Li Han and Colt drove the farmer's car to the septic tank, Li Han said. "There are a total of three septic tanks and biogas tanks. Usually, a company will come over to help check. Your job is to collect cow dung, dry cow dung, pile it up, and pile it up. By the way, if you have other work, I will inform you. To get acquainted with the farm today, I've already called Jem, and Jem is the farm manager and will tell you what to do."

   Colt nodded and said. "Yes, boss, I'll do it well." "You don't have to be so polite, just call me Han." Li Han took Colt for a walk. Here in the wheat field, the idea of ​​soil moisture, temperature, watering equipment, and walnut Lin cleans the weeds and has a lot of work. Li Han waited for Jem to come over and talk about it. Jem arranged better. "Han, Colt's work has been arranged." "Jem, how is Colt?"

"He's a good person, steadfast, Han, I'll go back first, the Black Lake is harvesting grass, it's amazing, but in two weeks, the Auram grass has grown well, and I want to come to the surrounding Auram Lake in ten days. The pasture can be harvested again." Jem said the pasture, with a smile on his face, there is no better pasture in the entire Kemising town than here, the pasture is good, the pasture is thick, and the cattle and sheep are fat and strong, this is every cowboy. dream.

"Maybe it's because of the rain a while ago. The drought has been so long. By the way, the beef that was killed the day before yesterday was brought over. Let's pack some and try it. The taste is not bad." Dinah is responsible for all the meat, and receives living expenses once a week. Li Han is much more relaxed. Dinah, Hutton and others also feel good. They can buy some dishes they like. High, but good food, and a beer every night that you don't need to pay for yourself. For Doles, Sarah, and Houghton, this place is like paradise.

  Li Han and Jem returned to the small farm. At the entrance of the living area, little Maria was looking timidly. "Didn't Maria play with my sister?" "Uncle, didn't Dad come back?" "Dad is going to work." Li Han led the timid Maria, and the little girl looked back in the direction of Li Han from time to time. "Don't be afraid, sisters are very easy to get along with." Back at the small building, Dudu and Baobao ran over and told Li Han that Sister Maria lost Piran, not Dudu, but Sister Maria herself.

  Li Han hid behind him and pulled Maria out, the little guy lowered his head and hugged the baby in his arms, his father went to work, and his mother went to work. Maria was a little afraid of unfamiliar sisters and uncles, as well as big dogs. She was afraid that the dog would bite Maria, and her mother and father were not there. Mom said, Mom and Dad don't work and have no food to eat. Maria needs to be sensible. The little girl held back her tears and whispered sorry, pitiful. "It's okay, sister Maria, sister Dudu will take you to eat pudding, it's delicious."

Dudu pulled Maria, who was hugging the little doll tightly. The little guy heard the pudding and widened his eyes. Maria had not eaten pudding for a long time. There was no money at home. There was only one cake for her birthday. Mom and Dad only had one bite. Maria finished eating, but it was delicious.

  The pudding made by Dudu and the baby. The kindergarten learned to put it in the refrigerator. It was just after making the pudding that the two little guys forgot about little Maria. "It looks good, it's the baby bear pudding box. Dudu and Dad bought it together."

  Maria nodded her head vigorously, so beautiful, Maria didn't even have it. The toot pudding was cut into pieces with a knife and shoveled into the small box, and the small spoon and fork were placed and handed to Maria. "Sister Maria, eat quickly, it's delicious."

  Li Han saw three little guys sitting side by side on the sofa, scooping pudding and eating, and came to the terrace with a coffee pot, and said to Jem with a smile. "Have a cup of coffee first, and I will talk to me about the recent farm during the break. I have been busy these days and have no time to chat with you."

  Li Han poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Jem, who thanked Jem. "Everything is good on the farm, especially the pasture condition is better than expected. It can be harvested again. Han, more than two-thirds of our pasture has not withered. This is really a miracle."

"Maybe it's the reason for the first year of the new grass planting, but this is really good news. In this way, more green forage has been stored recently. The cattle and sheep should not be returned to the cowshed first, but first stocked to save some green forage." Li Han said, I was very excited. I didn't expect that the grass seeds soaked in spring water would have such good cold resistance.

   "I've arranged the meeting, the coffee is really good." Jem praised with a sip of coffee. "Chris gave some away a few days ago, and I will bring some back for everyone to try. I heard that it is imported, and the taste is okay. Usually, I don't drink much."

  Jem thanked him, you were welcome, the beef was in a basket, and the coffee was in a box and handed to Jem. Jem put it on the pickup, waved his cowboy hat, and left the small farm without stopping. Li Han packed up the cups and coffee pot, returned to the small building, Dudu, baby, Maria has eaten up the pudding. "Dad, sister Maria has a bigger belly than Dudu, and she eats more pudding than Dudu." Li Han, who was washing the coffee cup, pulled Li Han mysteriously, squatted down, and whispered to Li Han.

"Haha, that's delicious pudding made by our family." Li Han glanced at it and smiled very happily with Maria, who was playing with the little wild boar. The little guy is very pitiful. Mom and Dad are unemployed. It is estimated that they haven't eaten for a long time. Have a snack like pudding.

   "Well, it's delicious, Dad, Dudu kept it for you, in the refrigerator." Dudu secretly told Li Han that the troubled Li Han could not laugh or cry. "Little brat, Grandpa Jem knows it's going to be sad." "But, but, did Sister Maria eat a lot, not enough for two little boxes."

  Li Han rubbed Dudu's little head, pinched his air and bulged his fleshy little face, puff, his bulging little face was pinched flat, making the little guy very unhappy and twisted his little butt. "Okay, Dad was wrong. Dudu is the best. After a while, Dad will eat the delicious pudding made by Dudu."

   "Well, Dudu go get it for Dad." Dudu Dengdeng ran to the refrigerator, pulled open the door of the refrigerator, took out the pudding box, and ran back with it. "Dad is cleaning the cup. I'll eat it later." "No, no, Dudu feed Dad."

  Li Han couldn't hold Dudu to stand on the kitchen table, he condescendingly scooped up the pudding and stuffed it into Li Han's mouth, feeding his father the pudding spoon by spoon. The mother and Aunt Xu, who happened to be picking vegetables, saw them, and Li Han was very embarrassed. "Grandma, grandma, Dudu made pudding, and Dad said it was delicious." "Really?" "Mmmm, Dudu kept it for grandma, in the refrigerator, Dudu went to get it."

  Li Han was stunned for a moment, shaking his head not knowing whether to laugh or cry, this little guy just said he was gone. "Still Dudu knows that honoring grandma is better than your father."

  Li Han shook his head helplessly, little flatterer, put away the cleaned cup, Dudu pulled grandma to sit down, and didn't want Zhang Xiuying to do it. "Grandma, Dudu feed you." "How many years have you been fed and eaten." "Grandma, Dudu feed, Dudu feed."

   Dudu acted coquettishly, and Zhang Xiuying laughed even more happily. This little granddaughter is usually too sensible, so she looks a little childish. "Okay, Dudu feed grandma." Aunt Xu was envious, and she said that my mother was very lucky, and my mother was even happier, hugging Dudu's sweetheart and calling.

  Dudu feeds grandma and eats the pudding, holding dad in one hand, sister Maria and sister baby in the other hand to the garage. "Dudu, baby, didn't forget what I told you yesterday." "Well, uncle, baby will pick up cow **** carefully and make it very clean."

"It's really good." "Dudu also knows that you need to use plastic shovels to load cow poo and sheep **** into a small trailer and transport it to the pile of poo." "Dudu is also good, Dudu, the baby wants to teach sister Maria." Li Hanrang Dudu changed Maria's clothes, a cowboy workstation with suspenders, pink plastic gloves, a small hat, and small leather boots.

  The kart was replaced with larger anti-skid wheels, a small trailer was hung, and Dudu drove Maria to the grassland and worked.
