Chapter 1: Foreign Land.

This relatively small farm covers an area of 168 acres (about 1000 mu), with a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house spanning 1769 square feet (about 160 square meters). The farm currently raises cows and horses, surrounded by a small stream, 3 ponds, and 2 wells. Additionally, there is a 40-acre original forest, making it a hunter's paradise, with 200 fully mature and economically valuable walnut trees. The house was renovated in 1988, and a second building site has been developed. When purchased, the wells and septic tank were already in place. The farm also includes 1 workshop, 4 cowsheds, and 2 stables.

After sleeping, this girl went crazy playing. She didn't have a moment of leisure all day, and kept pestering her father to make her a rocking chair. She was quite mischievous. Li Mei didn't have the same determination and perseverance as her brother. She was just an ordinary woman with a child, a husband, parents, and a troublesome younger brother. That was her entire life.

There are farms of all sizes throughout the state. There are hundreds of farms of all sizes around the small town of Comix near northern Canada, mostly small and medium-sized farms. Today, a protest group of no less than thirty people gathered in the town center square of Comix, which is rare for the small town. They held protest signs and shouted slogans. A young man holding a Jewish child in the corner of the crowd was particularly noticeable, with black hair, yellow skin, and obviously different from the white people around him. Especially the square Chinese characters held by the Jewish child, it goes without saying that this is a Chinese or Chinese-American. The demonstration lasted for three hours from seven o'clock in the morning until about ten o'clock. Everyone was hungry and saw that it was not early. The organizer announced the end of the protest. Everyone immediately took out their chicken sandwich and Coke and sat on the side of the road to have lunch.

Li Ping and Zhang Xiuying are also quite happy. Li Han is particularly fond of his little niece whom he rarely sees, and occasionally buys some toys to send back.

Li Han put down the cup, hesitated for a while, and dialed the home phone number. "Mom, it's me, Xiaohan. Are you still awake at this late hour?" Li Han hesitated just now, afraid of disturbing the rest of the two elderly people. It's already past midnight.

Today is not good. My little Milly is still waiting for me. Damn weather. On Sunday, David organized a rugby match. I have already promised. Willy, Mickey, come over when you have time. There's a party tonight. Li Han opened the roast chicken, and the chicken leg was handed to the drooling Mickey, a Jewish child. As for Milly, she is a three-month-old golden retriever that Willy gave to Li Han. The little guy is still young and most clingy when just leaving the mother or being left alone at home, it will whimper. The chicken leg was handed to the drooling Mickey, a Jewish child. As for Milly, she is a three-month-old golden retriever that Willy gave to Li Han. The little guy is still young and most clingy when just leaving the mother or being left alone at home, it will whimper. With drooping shoulders, lowered head, and weak body, it stands on its "territory". Even if a ball rolls over, it won't even look at it. It seems like "what's so fun about a ball". It sighs and tries to make itself sleep. At this time, only the love of the owner can give it tenderness. Li Han didn't bring Milly today, so he can't delay too much time.

Han, I will have Mickey help you capture it. We must let Hamilton know how powerful our Comet Baseball Team is. With a baseball cap on his head, a baseball bat in one hand, and a roasted chicken in the other, Willie stood up and shouted at the departing Han Li. Mickey waved a chicken leg to bid farewell to Han Li. Mickey couldn't speak, but he was very lively. He usually loved playing baseball with Willie. Of course, Mickey also loved Han Li's roasted chicken.

Okay. Li Han secretly made a mental note that before the baby arrives, he must also borrow a horse so as not to disappoint the child. After hanging up the phone, Li Han made a mental note not to worry his parents and sister anymore, and the farm needed to be properly rested.

What's the use of these protests? It's chaotic. Who knows if there are troublemakers causing trouble. It's not good to get hurt. America is not our home. In the future, discuss any matters with your father. And also... Zhang Xiuying said for about ten minutes, talking about some trivial matters. Li Han smiled, without defending or explaining much, just kept agreeing. Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I will take care of myself. You should rest early, don't worry about me, everything is fine. Talking about some trivial matters, Li Han smiled, without defending or explaining much, just kept agreeing. Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I will take care of myself. You should rest early, don't worry about me, everything is fine.

It's really damn weather, it's so hot that it's killing people. Damn Max, he betrayed us. By the way, Han, do you have time this afternoon? Mark and Tim invited us to play baseball together. Li Han took the Coke handed over by Willy, gulped down half a bottle, burped, and shook his head slightly.

Montana is located in the western part of the United States. It has a high altitude and deep valleys, with an average elevation of about 1000 meters. It is divided into two parts, east and west. The western part occupies one-third of the total area and belongs to the Rocky Mountains region, with dense forests. The eastern part occupies two-thirds and is part of the northern Great Plains. It has gently rolling and vast open land, sparse trees, and herds of cattle and sheep.

Since taking over the farm, Li Han has only gone back once in over a year. He didn't even go back during last year's Spring Festival. Two blizzards last winter caused heavy losses to the farm, with four cowsheds and stables collapsing. If it weren't for Li Han clearing the snow from the workshop in time, it might have suffered the same fate as the cowsheds. https://mhetushucom.com.

As long as half a month, that's great. By then, sister, I will take you, your husband, and the baby to have a good time over here. Li Han was excited. His parents could come to the United States for a while, which had been his long-awaited wish for many years.

Have you eaten, sister? Has the baby fallen asleep? Li Mei is four years older than Li Han and got married early. She has a three and a half year old daughter, the baby, a chubby little girl with big eyes, very cute. Because Li Han is not with the two elderly people, Li Mei takes the baby home whenever she has time. With the mischievous baby, the house is lively and bustling.

These two sudden snowstorms not only destroyed the cowshed and stable, but also caused nearly half of the chickens and ducks raised by Li Han to be killed or injured. In the past year, not only did he not earn a penny, but he also lost his year's worth of effort and several cowsheds in vain. Fortunately, due to financial constraints, he did not raise any cattle or sheep.

Li Han is quite lucky. The farm owner's son in New York owed a considerable debt due to the financial crisis and had no money to pay the inheritance tax. He could only transfer the farm, which was worth $300,000 at the time, to Li Han for $120,000 plus $100,000 in debt. Li Han took the opportunity to obtain a green card, but he didn't expect that running a small farm in the United States would be so difficult. Over a year has passed, and Li Han has not only failed to repay the $100,000 debt, but the farm operation has also become increasingly difficult. Today, Li Han got up early and rushed to the town to participate in the joint protest of small and medium-sized farmers against the government's unequal agricultural subsidy policies, hoping to get some attention.

"Okay, the baby is insisting on riding a big horse." Li Mei was quite happy. Her whole family were teachers, except for her little brother who used to be mischievous but now has become quite capable. He has opened a farm in the United States with thousands of acres of land. Just think about it, when Li Mei's colleagues heard that she was going to spend her summer vacation in the United States, they looked at her with envy. It's not easy to go abroad from a small county, especially on the side of the teacher's dormitory building. Who knows how many people envy her parents."

In the afternoon, your sister brought the baby over. The little one is very clingy, kept looking for his uncle to play with all night. He just fell asleep now. Xiaohan, hope you have nothing to do in the morning. You are not young anymore, you should be more sensible and not participate in any protests. Your dad and I saw a lot of protests on the news, it's chaotic.

Li Han tore off a chicken leg and handed the whole roasted chicken to Willy. "Thank you. I was worried that you might not like it. These are for you. I'll go back first. I must give a good lesson to the arrogant Hamilton and his gang."

Your sister is next to me, talk to her. Zhang Xiuying handed the phone to her daughter Li Mei who was next to her. "Xiao Han, have you come back? Have you eaten?"

It's a pity that this time Mark and Tim, the two main players, will definitely give Hamilton and his team a harsh lesson. With a powerful smack of his lips, he tore open the chicken wings without any politeness and stuffed them into his mouth. "Han, you made really good roasted chicken."

Your brother-in-law has already been there, the process is quite complicated, it will take at least half a month to finalize.

Li Han regrets a bit about telling his mother these things. Protests and demonstrations in the United States are actually not a big deal, happening countless times every day. Especially for Li Han, participating in this kind of activity is completely safe, just holding a banner for a few hours. "Mom, I know, I won't participate next time, so you and dad can rest assured."

The first call was from the bank. Li Han's application for a $50,000 loan was not approved, but a $10,000 loan was granted, which is considered a significant gain. A slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Han's mouth. Finally, it was approved. With $10,000, he can repair the machinery and have enough seed money.

In the morning, Li Han and Wili were both protesting. Speaking of protests, it was quite refreshing at first. Of course, now Li Han has become accustomed to it. If he doesn't protest every once in a while, he feels uncomfortable all over. Li Han has been in the United States for five years and in Montana for four years. He has been working on a farm all this time. A year ago, the farm owner Li Han worked for passed away, and Li Han used the $120,000 he saved to buy a small farm from the owner's son.

"Sister, has the visa been processed as we discussed last time?" Li Han has obtained a green card and can apply for family members to visit the United States.

After listening to his mother's nagging, Li Han sighed. He left home at the age of eighteen to make a living in the United States. It has been nearly five years. Not to say that he had nothing, but there wasn't much to be proud of. Besides fluent English and forgetting most of his hometown dialect, as for selling the farm and returning to China, Li Han had thought about it. Not to mention the farm debt, just thinking about what he could do with a hundred thousand dollars when he returned to China. Buying a house? In a small city, he could only afford a hundred or so square meters, let alone a big city.

Hehe, it seems that the protest still has some effect, not suffering in vain. Li Han finished the remaining sour plum soup in the cup. The second call was from Li Han's mother, mostly reminding him to take care of his health, not to tire himself out, to eat on time, always some trivial matters or things happening at home.

Leaving the power behind, Li Han drove his pickup truck back to the farm for more than ten minutes. He parked the car casually on the side of the road, went back to his room and took a cold shower. It was really hot. This summer was much hotter than before. After the shower, he felt much more comfortable. He opened the refrigerator and scooped a cup of iced plum soup, sat comfortably on the sofa, and turned on the answering machine. Li Han didn't have a mobile phone, not because of money, but because it was inconvenient to carry. There were phones available on both sides.
