The Best Small Farm

   Chapter 1253 Festive Mosquito Net Donation for Bears

   "Grandma, Dudu is back." Dudu, carrying a small snack box, ran into the small building. "Grandma, dim sum."

   "So good."

   Zhang Xiuying took the dim sum with a smile and asked. "Why is it so late today?" "Dudu and Sister Baobao are selling pumpkins." The two villains said, put down their small schoolbags, and ran to the dining table, laying down on their feet to see. "Wow, so many dishes."

   Zhang Xiuying glared, followed by her son who came in, making a fool of yourself. The two little guys are a little older. They drive an ox cart every day, get up early and return late to sell pumpkins. The family does not lack such a little money.

  Li Han smiled. "It's delicious, Mom, what delicious dishes did you make tonight." "Jennifer, Lingna, now you can have a good time." Li Han said with a smile.

   Zhang Xiuying snorted and said with a smile. "Jennifer, Lingna, come in, it's cold, and I just made a few casseroles. You drink more soup and make up for it."

   Sure enough, Li Hanyi said, Jennifer, Zhang Xiuying, everything is put down. "Mom, Dad, come here, there's a lot of delicious food." Dudu waved his little hand and greeted his mother, and his father came over.

   "Go wash your hands and eat." Zhang Xiuying walked over. "There's still soup in the kitchen, I'll take it."

  Li Han saw his mother went to the kitchen, and smiled at Jennifer and Lingna, Lingna covered her mouth and chuckled. "Han, it's really interesting that Auntie is still your child."

   Relatively, Lingna rarely sees parents in the United States treat their children like this. Of course, these days, parents in the United States do not love their children less than they do in China.

  Most college students’ tuition and living expenses are paid by their parents. It’s really not much to really rely on their own tuition fees. Especially for children in the United States, protection is really more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than in China.

  Li Han and Lingna were talking kung fu, Dudu and the baby boy had washed their hands, placed the tableware and chopsticks, and sat down and waited obediently. "Dad, hurry up."

"coming."

  Li Han smiled and sat down. "Mom, Aunt Xu, it's time to eat." "Eat."

   At the dinner table, Li Han talked about Dudu and the baby, buying pumpkins. "Speaking of pumpkins, it's not bad around Halloween, especially when you carve little pumpkins."

"Uh-huh."

  Dudu said with a big mouthful of rice porridge. "Dudu and baby sister, we also carve pumpkins today." "But what about after Halloween?" Li Han said with a smile.

   Dudu all of a sudden, I don't know what to say. "Then, that Dudu buys a little pumpkin."

  Li Han said with a puffed mouth and said with a smile. "Dudu, sell a pumpkin to earn fifteen cents a smart. It takes more than 60 pumpkins to buy a mosquito net."

   "Dudu knows."

Dudu said, the little man snapped his fingers and counted Maria Mimizi's bento, pocket money, Michelle's apples and pocket money, and Dudu and the baby's pocket money. After all, you only need to buy forty pumpkins a day. Or, four or five carved pumpkins.

   "Dudu, look, Dad just asked you where the mosquito net will be sent." Li Han took the tablet, who wanted to be knocked by Zhang Xiuying.

"Have a meal."

   Li Han was helpless, bowed his head to eat, doodled the little man, full of curiosity, ate the rice porridge and steamed buns in big mouthfuls, pushing the small bowls and chopsticks. "Grandma Dudu is full." After saying that, she ran to Li Han's side.

  Li Han was helpless, he could only be full, took the tablet, came to the living room, and sat down. "Look, this is a small African village where you donate your mosquito nets. There are more than 500 children here. One mosquito net can only be used by four children. Here, more than 100 mosquito nets are needed. Toot, sell pumpkins and save pocket flowers. Money takes half a year."

   "Han."

  Lingna listened to what Li Han said, slammed abruptly, and reminded Li Han loudly that Dudu is a child and should not put so much pressure on her. "But Dudu's money has been paid for tuition."

   Dudu bulging small mouth. "Dudu has no money. Dudu, don't let such a child die from being bitten by a bad mosquito."

   "Pandora, don't cry, it's okay, Auntie and Mom will help you." Lingna glared at Li Han and wiped away her tears. "Um."

   "No." Jennifer came over and shook her head slightly. "Pandora, you have to know that in addition to this small village, there are many children without mosquito nets. Mom and Dad can only help one place, here or other children."

  Dudu looked at his mother. "Pandora can."

  Jennifer nodded, did not speak, sat beside Dudu, lowered her head, thinking. "Pandora thought about it, raised money, and Sister Lucy told pandora."

   "Lucy?"

  Jennifer was a little puzzled. "Um."

   "Lucy, the kid who donated all his savings at the last charity gala hosted by George W. Bush," said Li Han.

   "I heard it, but the name is not clear." Lingna said. "This child is in the limelight. Pandora knows him."

   "Mmmm." Dudu nodded vigorously. "Dad helps Dudu raise money."

   "It's not difficult to raise money, but, pandora, do you have anything to auction?" Li Han asked with a smile.

   "Dudu has a lot of dolls."

   "Guangguang is not enough, not everyone likes dolls?" Li Han touched Dudu's little head. "Do you remember the last time Dad taught you how to make a fan and keep bugs?"

   "Hmm." Dudu, nodding. "Dudu has raised a lot of bugs."

   "Han, what are you talking about?"

   "Hehe, Chinese gadgets." Li Han's novel.

   "Dad, I will do a lot better." Dudu said.

   "These little things are good for playing, making more, and selling them," Li Han said.

"Dudu and the baby can draw and write with a brush. It's better to do some small handicrafts with Chinese characteristics than pumpkins." Li Han said that in the United States these years, he knows a little bit. In the United States, The more national things are, the easier it is to be recognized and liked by everyone, and the easier it is to make profits.

   Aunt Xu came over with the fruit and listened to what Li Han said. "Little Han, Auntie can't help you much. Look, can paper cutting help Dudu and the baby?"

   "Paper cutting?"

   Li Han really didn't know that Aunt Xu could still do this craft.

   "It's not very good. When I applied for the certificate last year, I cut it. I see foreigners like it very much." Aunt Xu said.

   "Aunt Xu, you must be good at your craftsmanship." Li Han, when he heard it, was really interested.

   "I can't say it. It's not a good thing that has been passed down from my family. It's useless when it comes to the United States." Aunt Xu said.

   "Grandma Xu, what is paper-cutting?" Dudu asked, an angry villain.

   Aunt Xu said with a smile. "Wait, I'll get scissors, and Grandma Xu will cut a New Year's picture doll for you later."

  Dudu and Baobao are two villains, followed by Aunt Xu. Seeing Jennifer and Lingna's puzzled faces, Li Han explained with a smile. "Paper-cutting is a kind of Chinese folk art. Speaking of which, it relies on scissors and paper, or other paper like skin, leaves, or gold foil, to cut out patterns." Li Han doesn't know much about paper-cutting.

I only know that this is an ancient folk art, and its origin and spread are closely related to the festivals and customs in rural China. During New Years, festivals or wedding celebrations, the word '囍' is often pasted. People put beautiful and bright paper-cuts on the snow white. On the walls or bright glass windows, doors, lanterns, etc., the festive atmosphere is rendered very rich and festive. Paper-cut art is a traditional folk craft of the Han nationality. It has a long history and is enduring. It is a treasure in Chinese folk art and has become a treasure in the world's art treasure house.

  Aunt Xu came over with scissors and paper, and quickly used scissors to pick and turn around. Zhang Xiuying packed up and came over, see you. "Big sister can also cut paper?"

   "Grandma, will you be too?"

   "It's been a few years since I cut it." Zhang Xiuying clapped her hands and said with a smile.

   "Mom, you can also cut paper, why didn't I know." Li Han asked.

   Zhang Xiuying glared at her son. "This child, when you were a child, your grandma cut paper, haven't you seen it?" "I don't even remember this. Besides, Mom, you haven't cut it."

   Zhang Xiuying, said. "Since I gave birth to you, how can I have the heart to do this. When I was a child, I was afraid that because of you, I would lose my job. I would let you go home and grow up. My eyes are not very good, so I didn't fiddle with it."

   Speaking, Zhang Xiuying took it and saw it. Compared with Aunt Xu's big hands and rough feet, Zhang Xiuying looked more delicate, and the paper-cut style was different. After a while, a year doll appeared in Aunt Xu's hands, Dudu and Baobao, two villains, holding them.

   "God, this is an amazing art."

  Lina looked at Nian Doll and shouted loudly.

   Zhang Xiuying is a little more complicated, and Jennifer was surprised when she came out. "Dudu wants to learn." "Baby also wants to learn." The two villains, seeing them, even bothered the two grandmas.

   "Good, good, learn." The two villains said.

  The two little people immediately went to find the small scissors and took out the paper.

   Jennifer and Lingna were also interested and learned to cut the simplest double happiness word. Li Han could do this too. Zhang Xiuying sent Li Han to teach Jennifer.

"really interesting."

  Lingna smiled and held up the cut out happy word. It wasn't pretty, and it was a little crooked, but it already made Lingna excited. Dudu and Baobao, learn faster, two little people, even cut out the English letters.

"awesome."

  Lina praised it, took Dudu and handed it to cut paper, learning, and wanted to cut an English letter. "To say, it's your wives who cut the window grilles." Zhang Xiuying touched the heads of the two villains.

   Not to mention the two villains, Li Han doesn't even remember what his grandmother looked like, how many years. The two villains looked at their little heads, and Li Han smiled and patted the villains. "Study hard, cut a paper doll and stick it on the pumpkin tomorrow."

"Um."

  The two little people nodded vigorously. They were studying after nine o'clock in the evening, and they went to bed in a hurry. "Sleep well."

   Two little people, nodding their heads. "Dad, can you really sell a lot of money tomorrow?" "Of course." Li Han smiled and pinched the little noses of the two villains.

  The two little people got up early in the morning and put stacks of New Year dolls and window grilles cut by Zhang Xiuying and Aunt Xu into their bags, scissors and craft paper. "Is baby sister ready?"

   "Can go."

  The two little people packed up, packed their lunch, and set off. "The ox cart pumpkin is enough for today's sale." Li Han looked at the two villains, driving the ox cart early in the morning. You must know that the weather is only less than ten degrees in the early morning, and it is cold and cold.

   "How can you bear it like this every day."

  Zhang Xiuying said, and gave Li Han an angry look. Fortunately, Li Han had already told Zhang Xiuying yesterday. "It doesn't matter, Dudu and Baobao are both in good health. Besides, these days, I choose thick clothes."

   "You."

   Zhang Xiuying, snorted.

  Li Han shook his head helplessly, planning to go and see how the little bug Dudu was doing. Just running back against Lingna, they passed by together. "God, why are there so many bugs here?"

   "Hehe, Dudu is playing with the baby."

  Li Han smiled and took out the leaves and sprinkled them on top. "Han, these are the worms we talked about yesterday. What do you keep them for?"

   "Look at it."

Li Han took two fans, made of bamboo, broken into bamboo strips at one end, divided them with thin lines, and made fan bones, like a small round frying pan. into a fan handle.

  Li Han took it with a smile, sprinkled it with water, and put it on the plaque. "Hey, the worms have gathered on the bamboo." Lingna stared blankly, and the worms crawled over, and for a while the entire fan bone was covered with colorful threads.

   Less than half an hour later, Li Han came out with two fans. "It's too beautiful." "This is for you." Li Han smiled and handed one to Lingna, and the other to Jennifer who just returned from picking flowers in the garden.

  Lina told Jennifer about the scene just now, and Jennifer was pleasantly surprised. "This is silk thread?" "That's right, these colorful silkworms are raised and played with Dudu. Haha, the fan is an accident."

   Li Han said. "Speaking of which, this kind of fan is like a frying pan. Previously, it was pasted with oiled paper, stippled, and inscribed. It is considered a handicraft."

   "Originally, I planned, Dudu and Bao Bao, to do this, two little guys, they can draw and write with a brush, although it's not good, it's not childish."

  Li Han said with a smile.

   "That's a good idea. There are a few more items. I want to open a small craft shop." Lingna said with a smile.

   "The craft shop, it's hard to say, the craft car is pretty good." Li Han said with a smile. "This kind of silk fan may have one or two for several days. The price is too expensive and it is not suitable." Li Han said.

  Lina and Jennifer, look at the fan. "Han, the price is too expensive, but the quantity is too small." Jennifer can help sell it, of course, Jennifer is not required to come forward.

   It’s just a pity that there are too few, Li Han nodded. "It's an oil-paper fan. It's not difficult to make. It's not bad to paste paper-cuts, or draw some cartoons with Dudu and the baby."

  Bamboo, although Li Han farm does not grow much, it is always enough to make fans.

  Dudu and Baobao, two little people, drove an ox cart to the town. The residents of the town have become accustomed to seeing them these days. When asked about the pumpkins, there were not many, until the two villains put out paper-cuts, picked up small scissors, and cut the paper-cuts. They didn't have much time to attract a lot of people watching the fun.

   "It's an amazing skill." An old couple, looking at a piece of red paper, turned into a chubby little doll in their small hands, very surprised.
