"Grandma, Dudu is back. "Dudu, carrying a small snack box, pedaled into the small building. "Grandma, refreshments. ”

"That's good. ”

Zhang Xiuying took the snack with a smile and asked. "Why is it so late today?" "Dudu and Sister Baby sell pumpkins. The two little people, as they said, put down their little schoolbags, pedaled to the table, and took a look at their feet on their stomachs. "Wow, that's a lot of dishes. ”

Zhang Xiuying glared, followed by her son who came in, messing around, how old are the two little guys, driving the ox cart every day, getting up early and returning late to sell pumpkins, and the family is not short of such a little money.

Li Han smiled. "It's so fragrant, Mom, what delicious dishes did you cook at night. "Jennifer, Lenna, now you can be blessed. Li Han said with a smile.

Zhang Xiuying snorted and said with a smile. "Jennifer, Lingna, come in, it's cold this day, just a few casseroles are stewed, you drink more soup and replenish your body. ”

Sure enough, Li Hanyi said, Jennifer, Zhang Xiuying, everything has been put down. "Mom, Dad, come on, so much good. Dudu waved his little hand and beckoned Mom and Dad to come over.

"Went wash your hands and eat. Zhang Xiuying walked over. "There's still a soup in the kitchen, I'm going to serve it. ”

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

Relatively speaking, Lingna rarely sees parents in the United States treating their children like this, of course, these days, parents in the United States are not less pampered with their children than in China.

Most of the college students' tuition and living expenses are paid by their parents, and they really don't pay the tuition fees by themselves. Especially for American children, protection is really more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than in China.

Li Han and Lingna were talking, and Dudu and the baby villain had already washed their hands. Set up the dishes and chopsticks, sit down obediently and wait. "Dad, hurry up. ”

"It's coming. ”

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

On the dinner table. Li Han talked about Dudu and the baby buying pumpkins. "Speaking of pumpkins, Halloween is pretty good, especially when you carve small pumpkins. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Dudu gulped down rice porridge and said. "Dudu and Sister Baby, I also carved pumpkins today. "But what about after Halloween?" said with a smile.

All of a sudden, I don't know what to say. "Well, buy a little pumpkin. ”

Li Han said with a smile when he saw his puffed mouth. "Toot toot. Selling pumpkins earns fifteen cents a smart one, and it takes more than 60 pumpkins to buy a mosquito net. ”

"Doodoo knows. ”

Dudu said, the villain broke his fingers, counted Maria Mimi's lunch, pocket money, Michelle's apple and pocket money, Dudu and the baby's pocket money, and counted it. Just buy forty pumpkins a day, or. Four or five carved pumpkins.

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

"Eat. ”

Li Han was helpless and bowed his head to eat. The little man, full of curiosity, gulped down the rice porridge and steamed buns, and pushed the small bowl and chopsticks. "Grandma is full. As he spoke, he ran to Li Han's side.

Li Han was helpless. I can only be fed, take the tablet, come to the living room, and sit down. "You see, this is Dudu's mosquito net donation to a small African village, there are more than 500 children here, one mosquito net can only be used by four children, more than 100 mosquito nets are needed here, Dudu, it takes half a year to sell pumpkins and save pocket money. ”

"Han. ”

Ling Na listened to what Li Han said, slammed it suddenly, and reminded Li Han loudly that Dudu was a child and should not put so much pressure on her. "But all the money has been paid for tuition. ”

Bulging and puffing out. "Dudu has no money, Dudu doesn't want such a young child to be bitten by bad mosquitoes and die. ”

"Pandora, don't cry, it's okay, auntie and mom help you. Lingna glared at Li Han and wiped her tears. "Hmm. ”

"Nope. Jennifer walked over and shook her head slightly. "Pandora, you know, there are many children in this small village who don't have mosquito nets, and mom and dad can only help one place, here or other children. ”

Dudu looked at her mother. "Pandora can do it. ”

Jennifer nodded, did not speak, and sat on the side, her little head down, thinking. Pandora thought of it, fundraising, and Sister Lucy told Pandora. ”

"Lucy?"

Jennifer was a little confused. "Hmm. ”

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

"I've heard it, but the name isn't clear. Lena said. "This kid is in the limelight, Pandora knows it. ”

"Uh-huh. Dudu nodded vigorously. "Dad helped Dudu raise donations. ”

"It's not hard to raise donations, but, Pandora, do you have anything that can be auctioned?" asked Li Han with a smile.

"There are a lot of dolls in Dodo. ”

"It's not okay to just do this, not everyone likes dolls?" Li Han touched his little head. "Do you remember the last time Dad taught you to make fans and raise insects?"

"Hmm. "Toot and nod. "Dudu has a lot of bugs. ”

"Han, what are you talking about?"

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

"Dad, I'll do a lot better. Dudu said.

"These little things, usually play, make more, take out and sell, but they are good. Li Han said.

"Dudu and the baby can draw, write calligraphy, this point is used, make some small crafts with Chinese characteristics, it is better than pumpkin. Li Han said, in the United States these years, I can understand something, in the United States, the more national things are, the easier it is to be recognized by everyone, like, and easier to get profits.

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

"Cutout?"

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

"It's not very good, but when I applied for a certificate last year, I cut it, and I saw foreigners like it. Aunt Xu said.

"Aunt Xu, your craft. Surely not bad. "Li Han, when I heard it, I really got interested.

"No, it's not a good thing from my family, and I came to the United States. It's useless. Aunt Xu said.

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

Aunt Xu said with a smile. "Wait, I'll go get the scissors, and Grandma will help you cut a New Year's doll in a while. ”

The two villains, Dudu and Baobao, followed closely by Aunt Xu. Li Han explained with a smile when he saw Jennifer and Lingna with a puzzled expression. "Paper-cutting is a kind of Chinese folk art, and it is said that it relies on scissors and paper, or other paper-like skins. Leaves, gold leaf, cut out patterns. "When it comes to paper-cutting, Li Han doesn't know too much.

It is only known that this is an ancient folk art, which is closely related to the festival customs of rural China, and the word "Xi" is often pasted on the New Year's festival or the wedding celebration, and people paste the beautiful and bright paper-cut on the snow-white wall or the bright glass window, door, lantern, etc. The festive atmosphere is rendered very rich and festive. The art of paper-cutting is a traditional folk craft of the Han nationality, which has a long history and endures. 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, quickly used scissors, picked and turned, Zhang Xiuying packed up, and saw it. "The eldest sister can also cut paper?"

"Grandma. Will you too?"

"I haven't cut it in years. Zhang Xiuying clapped her hands and said with a smile.

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

Zhang Xiuying glared at her son. "This kid, when he was a child. Your grandmother cut paper, haven't you seen it?" "I can't remember this clearly, 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, let you go to your hometown, and grow up, my eyes are not very good, and I didn't make up for these. ”

Speaking, Zhang Xiuying took it and saw it, compared to Aunt Xu's big hands and rough feet, Zhang Xiuying looked more delicate, and the paper-cutting style was different. After a while, a New Year's doll appeared in Aunt Xu's hand, Dudu and the baby, two villains, holding it.

"God, it's an amazing art. ”

Lingna looked at the Nian doll and shouted loudly.

Zhang Xiuying complicated the window grille, and as soon as she came out, Jennifer was surprised. "Dudu wants to learn. "Babies have to learn too. "The two villains, seeing it, are even more pestering the two grandmothers.

"Learn, learn. The two villains said.

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

Jennifer and Lingna also came to be interested, learning to cut the simplest double happiness characters, this thing, Li Han will also, Zhang Xiuying sent Li Han to teach Jennifer.

"It's funny. ”

Lingna smiled and held up the cut out happy words, which were not good-looking, and a little crooked, but this already made Lingna excited. Dudu and the baby, learning faster, the two villains, even cut out the English alphabet.

"It's amazing. ”

Lingna praised, took Dudu and handed it to the paper-cutting, learning, wanting to cut an English letter. "If you want to say, it's your wife who cuts the window flowers. "Zhang Xiuying, touch the heads of the two villains.

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

"Hmm. ”

The two villains, nodding vigorously, learned to go to bed at nine o'clock at night. "Sleep well. ”

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

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

"I can go. ”

The two villains, packed up, hurriedly packed lunch, and set off. "The oxcart pumpkin is still enough for today's sale. Li Han looked at the two villains, driving the ox cart early in the morning, you know, the weather is early in the morning, but it is less than ten degrees, and it is cold and cold.

"How can you stand it like this every day. ”

Zhang Xiuying, as she spoke, glared at Li Han angrily, but fortunately, Li Han had already told Zhang Xiuying yesterday. "It doesn't matter, Dudu and the baby are in good health, and besides, the clothes are thick these days. ”

"You. ”

Zhang Xiuying snorted.

Li Han shook his head helplessly, planning to go and see how the little bug was doing. I was running back with Lingna, and we passed together. "God, how can there be so many bugs here?"

"Hehe, Dudu and the baby are playing with each other. ”

Li Han smiled and took out the leaves and sprinkled them on them. "Han, this is what I said about bugs yesterday, what do you do with them?"

"Look at it. ”

Li Han took it, two fans, with bamboo, one end broken into bamboo strips, divided with thin wires, made into fan bones, like a round small wok, the handle of the whole bamboo, the front side of the fan bone, slightly folded, the back into a fan handle.

Li Han smiled and took it, sprinkled it with water, and put it in the plaque. "Hey, the insects are all gathered on the bamboo. Lingna watched stunned, and the insects crawled by, and after a while, the entire fan bone was covered with colorful silk threads.

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

Lena told Jennifer about the scene just now, and Jennifer was surprised. "This is silk thread?" "That's right, these colored silkworms, toot to play, hehe, the fan is an accident." ”

Li Han said. Speaking of which, this kind of fan, like a wok, was pasted with oiled paper, dotted paintings, and inscribed, which is considered a handicraft. ”

"Originally, I planned, Dudu and the baby, do this, two little guys, drawing, writing brush words can be, although it's not good, it's not childlike. ”

Li Han said with a smile.

"It's a good idea, and if you have a few more things, I want to open a craft shop. Lingna said with a smile.

"The craft shop, I can't say, the craft car is very good. Li Han said with a smile. "This kind of silk fan, there may be one or two for several days, the price is too expensive, and it is always not suitable. Li Han said.

Lena and Jennifer, looking through the fans. "Han, the price is so expensive that it's nothing, it's just that the quantity is too small. "Jennifer can help with the sale, of course, not Jennifer does not need to come forward.

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

Bamboo, although not much is planted on Li Han Farm, is always enough to make a fan.

The two little people, Dudu and Baobao, drove the ox cart to the town, and the residents of the town have become accustomed to seeing each other these days. There weren't many pumpkins to ask, until the two villains put out the paper-cuts, picked up the small scissors, and cut the paper-cuts, and it didn't take much effort to attract a lot of people who watched the excitement.

"It's an amazing feat. An old couple, looking at a piece of red paper, was very surprised that a chubby little doll appeared in their little hands. (To be continued......)
