It is a fun walk along the pasture, walking between the grass, occasionally passing through the dense grass, you can feel the gentle tickling of your ankles, the breeze blowing, carrying the anxiety and heat left behind by the sun, as well as the smell of dung/droppings, soil, plants, and gradually approaching the raging water vapor, the smooth surface of the lake is refreshing.

A heavy stomach, warm limbs, a cool breeze, slowly pacing, happy and comfortable.

I really ate too much tonight, and I walked for half an hour, which can be regarded as slightly relieving some of the swelling, and the regrets of the previous two months in Europe were all made up for in one night, and the sense of happiness was about to overflow.

After going around a long circle, Lu Li returned to the main house, first made a cup of light and greasy green tea, and then took his laptop, came to the porch, sat in the chaise longue, shook gently, listened to the jingling of wind chimes, and began to prepare.

The closing column of the Coomo Racecourse series has not yet been written, and the news of the auction has not yet been written, and he needs to finish it as soon as possible and publish it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you miss the opportunities of the "New York Times" and "Time Magazine", it will really outweigh the losses.

After turning on the computer, Lu Li sorted out his thoughts. What he said at the auction that day was just a moment of impatience, and after calming down and thinking about it, naturally he couldn't be so rough, and after thinking about it, Lu Li's hands flew quickly on the keyboard.

While beating and thinking, this work mode reminded Lu Li of his previous college days, when he picked up the teacup and drank a large sip of green tea, the hot tea ran down his throat and into his stomach, and the cold air of the night jumped gently on the surface of his skin, and as soon as his stomach warmed, the cold around him was also dispersed.

Full of wine and food, a cup of tea, a pool of moonlight, the sound of wind chimes, words flowing from under his fingertips, combined into an article, this is the life he dreamed of, no less, no more, that is enough.

Suddenly, a small figure jumped over and jumped into Lu Li's arms, which startled Lu Li, and when he looked down, he realized that it was actually Bucky.

"Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you today?" Lu Li looked at Bucky in his arms, he actually adjusted his posture and lay down in Lu Li's arms. This kind of Bucky is really a little uncomfortable.

Lu Li raised his hand and stroked Bucky's hair, "Man, are you planning to nest with me?" Lu Li laughed helplessly, he was really not used to such a state, a little guy lying on his knees, which would cause him to be distracted, which made his work suddenly difficult.

Bucky didn't care at all, adjusted a comfortable position, and actually squinted his eyes and began to fall asleep, which made Lu Li laugh dumbly.

Before he could say anything more, Teddy slammed open the screen door, then lay down at Lu Li's feet, gently rubbing his head against Lu Li's calf, letting out a low whine, coquettish.

Lu Li laughed, "What the hell is wrong with you today?" bent down, touched Teddy's head, and then looked at Bucky nested in his knees, and finally could only shake his head, "Okay, you guys just stay like this, obediently, don't interrupt my inspiration." I, uh, I'll try to see, get on with the work. ”

With a long exhale, Lu Li regained his composure and threw himself into work again.

Teddy and Bucky are indeed very well-behaved, the crisp wind chimes are constantly ringing, so that all the noise gradually settles down, and the company of the two little ones not only does not distract him, but makes him feel relieved for a while, and his work becomes smoother.

Picked up the teacup and took another sip, but found that the cup had bottomed out, he was thinking about whether to stand up and add hot boiled water, and then he heard an inquiring voice from the side, "Do you need me to help you add water?"

Lu Li raised his head and looked at it, and found that Brandon was standing at the door, he nodded and handed the cup to Brandon, "Thank you." ”

Brandon turned around and went into the room and came out again, the cup was filled again and placed on the low stool next to the chaise longue, Lu Li thanked him again, but he noticed that Brandon did not leave, and raised his head again, "What's wrong?"

"No, no, you keep working, I hope I don't disturb your work. Brandon waved his hand and said sullenly.

Lu Li heard something strange, he temporarily closed the laptop, and then put it aside, "My work is almost done, and there is only a little finishing left." Do you have time for a small talk?"

Brandon sat down on the porch railing diagonally opposite Lu Li, adjusting his expression, as if he was thinking about how to speak, but he didn't expect Lu Li to take the initiative to speak, "I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Brandon was stunned, but didn't think much about it, nodded towards Lu Li, and cast his gaze, indicating that he was listening.

"Next month is Jasmin's due date, and we all know that this is your first child and you've been looking forward to it. Lu Li said with a smile, "Why don't you take a period of vacation, stay at home with Jia Siming, take care of her, you have been running around with me in Europe in the past, although Jia Siming has not complained, it is estimated that she should be very dissatisfied with me behind my back." ”

Lu Li's ridiculous tone made the corners of Brandon's mouth tug slightly, he originally wanted to talk to Lu Li about asking for leave, but he didn't expect Lu Li to take the initiative to mention it.

"Moreover, you can also spend time with your children and experience the joy of being a father. Lu Li added, "So, you can rest and adjust for three months, after that, we still need you to come back as soon as possible, and the ranch can't do without you." ”

"Three months?" Brandon looked surprised and shook his head, "No, absolutely not. Now is the most important time for the ranch, not only does someone need to take good care of the jasmine, but then it is also the time for the ranch horses to conceive, how can I rest for three months in such a busy world. ”

Brandon stood up excitedly, the expression on his face visibly richer, "We all know that taking care of thoroughbreds is not such a simple thing, they are more sensitive and more emotional......"

"Brandon, Brandon. Lu Li interrupted Brandon's words, "Of course I know, these things are very troublesome, Kumo Horse Farm, I went with you, remember?" Lu Li didn't sound so worried, with a relaxed smile on his face, "The work of the ranch is important, and at the same time, life is also important. ”

"I know that for anyone to add a new member to their family, it's a big change. Lu Li's expression gradually became serious, "The work of the ranch will always be here, every day, every week, every month, and it will continue to change, but the changes in the family are different, and every change is different." You won't want to miss it. ”

Brandon wasn't good at talking, and he was full of emotion, but he didn't know how to express it, "But what about the ranch? What about thoroughbreds?" He also made a special trip to Kumo Horse Farm to train professionally, and now he casually handed it over to another cowboy?

"This is where you need your help, and I need you to introduce a reliable cowboy to take over your job for three months. Lu Li also had a preliminary plan in his mind, "We can rearrange the work of the horse farm, slow down the pace a little, just like a vineyard, don't complete the breeding in one go, you can do it in stages, take your time." ”

Brandon thought about it, but couldn't make a decision.

In the past half a year, Lu Li has always supported his work, never pointed fingers too much, gave him enough respect, and had opportunities for development. The next period of time was the busiest time for Cloud Peak Ranch, but he had to leave, leaving the heavy lifting to his friends, and putting aside the thoroughbred horses that had taken so much effort to bring to the ranch.

It's not fair to the land and the ranch.

Family is important to him, which is why he gave up the competitive cowboy in the first place, and it is also the reason why he entered the Tops of the Clouds, which he will not forget, but also because of the trust and support of Lu Li, but also because thoroughbreds are his ultimate pursuit in the professional field.

Career, family, Brandon encountered such a choice for the first time.

Brandon sighed lightly, "I see, I'll take a vacation." After hesitating, he still had no way to let Jia Siming be at home alone, this child, the two of them have been looking forward to it for too long, family and career, the priority is always family, "However, three months is too long." ”

This time, it was Brandon's turn to stop Lu from leaving, and he said in a puff, "I'll separate the vacation." I have four days off a week, three days of work, and I arrange my own time and come over flexibly. This way, I can take good care of Jia Simin, and the work here in the ranch will not be wasted. ”

Since there is no way to do both, the only solution is to work harder for himself.

Lu Li looked at Brandon carefully and shook his head helplessly, "Brandon, the three-month vacation is arranged by yourself, in fact, you don't need to work so hard at all." Of course, if you're willing to take care of work outside of your home, that's a natural welcome for me with both hands raised. ”

Regardless of whether Brandon agrees or not, Jia Siming is also a member of the Cloud Top Ranch family, and Lu Li will also communicate with other cowboys, and everyone will share Brandon's work, so that Brandon can accompany Jia Siming to give birth smoothly.

Brandon didn't care at all, still focused on his thoughts, "I'll introduce two cowboys to take my place." ”

"Two?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

Brandon nodded, "Now that the work on the horses is starting to increase, even if there is no Jasmin production, the ranch needs to be staffed." I was suggesting to you that my focus be a little more geared towards thoroughbreds and that I pass on the skills to the new cowboys, hoping to get the ranch on the right track. ”

After speaking, Brandon looked at Lu Li, "There should be no problem with the ranch's funds, right?"

Lu Li laughed heartily, "No problem. Always be ready. ”
