The midsummer sun rises early, only nine o'clock, and it is already spilling down hotly, falling on the skin, there is a sharp stinging sensation, as if several seven-star ladybugs are slowly climbing on the arm, which makes people excited and irritable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking along the clear stream, through the leafy grape trellises, the endless green bathed in sunlight like a slowly flowing waterfall, naturally exudes a thrilling beauty.

"When are these grapes going to ripen?", "Do we all have to make wine?", "Is Tony alone taking care of such a large patch of grapes?", "Is the vineyard bigger or is the organic farm bigger?", "Can we go to the organic farm and pick vegetables?" Randy said it was fun. ”

……

The sound of chattering discussions, with the joy of an outing, ran energetically, as if jumping and dancing with the sun, rushing away in this vast green, and then saw the beautiful purple.

It was a deep and rich purple, standing out from the green onion, mellow and rich in a layer of fresh light waves, like silky smooth flowing water, gurgling under the breeze; large areas of deep purple gathered together, bursting out of light lilac, volatilizing and drifting in the air, as if the green oxygen was dyed with a layer of purple, and the river next to it, the forest in the distance, and the sky at the end were all covered with a halo of purple light.

In the boundless green and blue, all the way to the end of the world.

Pure, everything is so pure, it doesn't seem to be mixed with a single variegated color, purple, green, blue, black, distinct, but everything is so blurred, it seems to merge inadvertently, without distinguishing from each other. The clear and blurred rivers of color dye the whole world into a fairyland.

"Wow. The exclamation involuntarily overflowed from the mouth, making people hold their breath and keep their eyes on it.

Even Lu Li was amazed at this time. It wasn't the first time he'd been to the lavender field, but to be honest, it had looked really bleak before, and the malnourished color looked no different from the weeds, which was a real disappointment.

But now, like an ugly duckling transforming into a swan, the bright and thick purple of the spring breeze dyes the land into a different landscape.

The purple, simple purple, was enough to take away the breath.

"Wow. Even Alison couldn't help but exclaim, put her arm around Ambo's shoulders, and looked at Taylor, without the need for extra words, her eyes were enough to reveal the excitement in her heart.

Taylor put on a big smile, "Mom, that's what it's called a vacation." ”

The lavender field of the ranch is not large, only a little more than an acre, this is not a productive and profitable field, it is just a personal hobby of Liz, and after it has been preserved, it has become the most unique scenery of the ranch.

They had been to France before, and had seen more spectacular and magnificent lavender fields in Provence, but they didn't know if it was because of the change of mentality, but the lavender fields in front of them were flowing next to the vineyards, but there was an indescribable magnificence.

"No, we're not here for a vacation, we're here to live. Ambo corrected Taylor's statement and sprinted all the way to the lavender fields.

At this time, in the lavender field, Cole and the others had already begun to work, each wearing long sleeves and trousers, holding a sickle in their hands, bending down and starting to harvest lavender. Since the field is not large and has a special meaning in itself, they did not use mechanical harvesting, but did it purely by hand.

"Tony, Tony, what should we do?" Amber called out and stood next to the ridge, looking eager to try.

Carmen also followed, opened her hands, and walked cautiously on the ridge, passing through the dense lavender, palms down, feeling the lavender gently swaying under the sun, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose, "Hee-hee." Hee-hee. The laughter ran out like this, which made her steps lighter and lighter, as if she could feel the vitality flowing in her veins.

"Jessica, Randy, Jack, Cole!" Carmen called out one by one, then walked back again, "Tony, Ambo, Fourteen, Taylor, Mom!"

The bright cry elicited a gentle swaying of the lavender, as if in response to the cheerful call.

Tony came to the edge of the ridge and instructed Lu Li and the others to put on gloves to avoid being cut by the sharp blade, and then pointed at Randy, "He's the expert, you guys should learn from him." ”

Before the words fell, Tony saw Lu Li next to him.

Lu Li bent down, grabbed the upper part of the lavender with his left hand, aimed the sickle in his right hand at the root of the grass, cut it lightly, easily cut the lavender, threw it behind him, and stacked it neatly on the ridge behind him, and then continued to repeat the action just now. The whole action is smooth and skillful.

"Or, like Fourteen. Tony said with a smile, "Fourteen, why didn't you say that you used to do farm work before. ”

Lu Li raised his head and glanced at Tony, "Are we familiar with each other? We shouldn't be to the point where we share intimate topics, right?" The teasing tone made Ambo and Taylor laugh, and even Tony himself couldn't help but laugh.

"Fourteen, fourteen, what am I going to do?" Amber also couldn't wait to walk into the field, showing an eager expression.

Lu Li began to guide Amber carefully, and explained the safety matters, don't hurt yourself because of greed for speed.

Amber nodded, indicating that he understood, and then practiced according to the gourd, "Grab some with your left hand, yes, you can come up some more." Lu Li gave supplementary guidance, and after Amber got an affirmative look, he made a decisive move.

The sharp blade slid through the grass roots, making a "whoosh" sound, and inexplicably there was a kind of joy spontaneously, not only the joy of harvest, but also the joy of labor, which made An Bo laugh involuntarily, with a bright smile, raised his head, and then saw the similar arc of the corner of Lu Li's mouth, and captured the look of encouragement, which made her full of energy.

"And me, and me. Carmen also trotted all the way over, scythe in her hand, and her small palm wielded a scythe longer than her arm, and the sense of disobedience had an inexplicable comedic effect.

"Be careful, be careful. Lu Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Carmen's slender wrist, "You don't want to cut my pants." That's all I have to do with my workwear. ”

Everyone heard the deep meaning of Lu Li's words, but Carmen didn't hear it, "Is there only one thing?" Okay, I know." I'll be absolutely careful. That serious answer made Lu Li choke, but in the face of the child, he didn't know how to explain it, and he was stunned.

"Poof. Everyone burst out laughing.

"Come, I'll teach you. Tony volunteered to step forward and demonstrate Carmen himself. Taylor and Alison, who were next to them, also joined the ranks of the laborers.

After standing in the field for less than five minutes, the power of the sun was a little overwhelming. There is no shelter, the sun is unbridled, and even through the fabric, you can feel the hot and scorching ultraviolet rays, which are seriously tearing the skin's defenses. At this time, the effect of long clothes and trousers is revealed, although it is a little stuffy, but at least the risk of sunburn is avoided.

"Sing the mountain song, sing here and there, and ......" Tony couldn't help but start singing loudly, singing the kind of folk song that Lu Li sang before, but Tony's lyrics were fragmented, and the pronunciation was not standard, just humming the melody, and the melodious notes were slowly sprinkled in the lavender field.

Allison couldn't help but look up at Tony and chuckled. She could feel the exhaustion of her body just by listening to it once, and then humming along.

She hadn't done so much physical work for a long, long time, that she was a little unaccustomed to it, and there was a faint ache in her waist and knees, but she didn't want to stop, on the contrary, there was a faint joy surging in her chest, and with the penetration of sweat, the negative emotions seemed to seep out, and then the dry and refreshing sunlight penetrated her clothes, penetrated her skin, and melted into her blood little by little.

This kind of vacation is really different.

Jamie tried to find the location of the lavender field, but as he walked, he got lost, and he even couldn't tell the direction clearly, and after going around for a while, he saw the brilliant purple from a distance, and the brilliant colors were surging like waves, and in the green of the sky was like a crystal clear gem, which easily attracted all the hearts.

Between searching, roundabouts, and circles, it was as if Alice had entered a fairyland, and in that purple without a trace of variegation, Jamie's footsteps couldn't help but walk over.

The moving humming echoed over the lavender field, and Jamie saw Allison immersed in labor, her hair was tied into a ponytail, her forehead was sweating, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, humming softly, that cheerful and relaxed was really long gone; Taylor, who was not far away, laughed loudly and raised her head to joke with the others next to her, and Ambo was concentrating on harvesting lavender, and the skillful movements made Jamie feel a little strange......

And Carmen.

Carmen held a bouquet of lavender in her hand and wore a wreath of lavender on her head, jumping lightly from ridge to ridge, wearing a bright red long-sleeved T-shirt and dark blue sports trousers, she did not look like a child living in New York at all, but like she grew up in the countryside. However, the bright smile on her face and the cheerful steps made the sea of flowers in front of her become a foil, and it seemed that the sun was dancing on her fingertips and hair.

Jamie couldn't help but froze and stood still.

"Hey, what are you doing standing there? If you're going to come here and work, hurry up. The blunt voice made Jamie react from his dream.
