"Hey, what are you doing standing there? If you're going to come here and work, hurry up. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The straightforward voice made Jamie stunned, looked down at his outfit, a little unsure, but before he could answer, another ridiculous voice sounded, "If you come here for sightseeing, remember to pay for it, now you even have to pay for watching lions in the circus, let alone us precious working people?"

Jamie looked over, and it was Tony who spoke, waving a bunch of freshly cut lavender in his hand, as if he was the civil rights leader who led the French Revolution, and then Taylor also straightened his waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and followed, "As precious as a giant panda?"

Before the words fell, everyone realized the joint meaning behind this sentence and collectively laughed.

Jamie stood nearby, a little confused - he was wearing a short-sleeved polo shirt and canvas midpants, and a pair of Nike running shoes under his feet. This casual dress is enough for the ranch, at least it doesn't interfere with his daily activities, but working in the fields?

Moreover, everyone is long-sleeved and long-trousers, and he is alone, showing all his arms and calves generously, as if welcoming the sun's exposure.

If he's in Lake Michigan, he'll either hide under a parasol and enjoy an afternoon of whiskey, or he'll be hiding in his vacation home and sitting in front of his computer at work. So, he doesn't need to worry about sunlight and ultraviolet rays at all. However, sitting in the main room just now, he inexplicably felt that the whole world was empty, and the room, which had always been comfortable and stable, was a little empty today.

At this moment, he realized how uncomfortable he was for outdoor life.

"Were you so slow to respond when you worked on Wall Street?" the voice came again, interrupting Jamie's train of thought, and following the voice, the voice was Lu Li, who was beckoning Cole, trying to carry all the lavender that had just been harvested to the cart outside the field, but Cole didn't have time to respond, Taylor took the initiative to come over and lend a hand.

Lu Li stood up straight and teased with a smile, "You know, for someone who wants to sunbathe, your preparation is really a little lacking. Then, Lu Li and Taylor put all the harvested lavender on the cart.

Jamie looked down at his fair skin, and every inch was clearly written with the glow of "otaku", which made him look more and more out of place with his surroundings. If it was a normal day, he would have just turned away, staying indoors is the most accustomed and familiar way of vacation, but today......

Jamie tried to take two steps ahead, but was completely confused, the field was really not his familiar territory. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked to the cart next to him, looking at the lavender that had just been placed, the rich purple was thick under his fingertips, exuding the dryness and heat of the sun, and the surging aroma lingered under the wings of his nose, and even washed a little, making his nose start to itch.

Before he knew it, Jamie reached out and touched the lavender, it was not as dry as expected, and there was some moist touch, as if the morning dew had not yet had time to dissipate. Different from dried flowers, or even different from the flowers purchased in New York, these lavender in the hand have a vigorous vitality, like an electric current, swaying in the fingertips.

Jamie just let go of his fingers.

"Rest assured, they don't bite. Lu Li teased, and Jamie himself couldn't help laughing, but then realized that his actions just now were a little embarrassing, so he restrained his smile and coughed lightly, trying to put on a serious and serious posture again.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li and Taylor stood there and looked at him like this, which made him a little uncomfortable, and put his hands into his pockets, but then took them out again. Even though they didn't say anything, the look in that look spoke for itself, and Jamie realized that his very act of standing in the field was already extremely embarrassed, like an ugly duckling who had broken into a royal ball.

The idea made Jamie try to relax a bit.

But God knows, he has forgotten how to relax - he must maintain a professional posture at work, at home he must maintain the posture of a father and husband, and in leisure time he must maintain an elite posture...... He wore a mask all the time, but it was just a different mask for different occasions, so much so that he couldn't remember what his real face was like now.

The first reaction in his mind was annoyance, looking at Lu Li in front of him, and Taylor, he wanted to be angry. He doesn't like the situation, the situation of losing control, being in an awkward situation, a situation of being at a loss. So, his defense mechanism, the first reaction is to want to condemn others and divert attention.

However, Lu Li and Taylor didn't stay, the two of them turned around and left directly, returned to the lavender field again, and began to get busy.

Jamie was left to his side again, he didn't even know if he was angry, ashamed, curious, excited, apprehensive, or what, the chaotic emotions couldn't be distinguished.

"Dad, Dad, come and see. Carmen trotted all the way over and grabbed Jamie's palm, "These were all cut by Ambo, and then all of these were cut by Taylor." Carmen walked between the piles of lavender and began to divide the credit.

"What about yours?" asked Jamie subconsciously.

Carmen held up a small bunch of lavender in her hand, "Which!" and handed it to Jamie, "I can give it to you if you want." ”

Looking at the small cluster of lavender, Jamie could feel a faint warmth, and he squeezed Carmen's little hand, "It's better for you to keep it." I decided to go and harvest some myself. Can you leave me a place? Keep my harvest. ”

"Of course!" said Carmen dryly.

Jamie tried to roll up his sleeves, but found that he was wearing short sleeves, so he could only drop his hands in amazement and walk into the lavender field, "Excuse me, do you have my tools here?"

Li Yitong had just picked up a bunch of lavender at this time, transported it to the cart, and stopped beside Jamie when he walked back again. He was a little hesitant, he knew that he could offer to help, and he usually did the same, but today he was inexplicably hesitant, not because he felt Jamie's discrimination yesterday, but because he experienced last night's harmony, he was a little ...... Afraid. It's like being close to home.

"You can use Carmen's. Li Yitong still said, "You must find a pair of gloves first, otherwise it is easy to get injured." Li Yitong began to guide, unexpectedly, Jamie was very cooperative, always listened attentively, and even took the initiative to ask questions, Jamie is like a curious baby, always has endless questions.

For others, it's just a two-step job, but for Jamie, it's a completely new business.

The scorching sun is in the sky, the passage of time gradually becomes insignificant, Jamie feels that every muscle in his body is protesting, this kind of physical work, is really not what he is good at, the slimy sweat really makes him feel uncomfortable, and the wet sweat is still dripping down...... Tired, he could clearly be harder to be tired, but the wonderful thing is that he didn't want to leave, he didn't have the idea of leaving at all, but was completely engaged and engrossed.

Standing up straight, the backache at the moment made the tiredness of the office look like a drizzle, and when he turned his head, Jamie saw the large expanse of lavender behind him-

Of course, it can't be compared to others, and the amount he harvested is not even half of Lu Li's, which really looks a little shabby. However, these are the fruits of the crops he harvested with his hands, little by little.

This is different from stocks and funds, this is not a series of numbers, even if you see as many as fifteen zeros of transactions, but after all, it is still a number, on the computer screen, there is no form, there is no sense of reality of a bunch of numbers, these are real, the real at your fingertips, you can feel the reality of sweat in the palm of your hand, and the reality of rubbing blisters.

Jamie looked at his palm, and actually grinded out two blisters, which were full of blood, shiny and shiny, and looked really scary.

This made Jamie stare at the blister for a moment, and then he couldn't help but chuckle, a ridiculous and cheerful smile. "Jamie, we're leaving, what about you?" Allison's voice came, and Jamie looked up, and then saw Allison pointing to the carts piled up, "We're going to the main house to dispose of these lavenders, how about you?"

Jamie looked around for a moment, only to notice that the entire field had almost been harvested. An acre, not too large an area, and the harvested lavender has not yet filled the fourth cart. There was still a small part left, and Randy was bending over to harvest, and beyond that, there was his row, which was less than three paces away.

"I'm here to harvest the rest. "Jamie decided to finish all the work and leave.

"I'll see you in the main house in a moment. Allison smiled brightly at Jamie, even though the sunlight was slightly eclipsed.

Jamie nodded to Alison and the children, then bent down and went on to get busy. He would never admit that he liked the feeling, in fact, he did hate sweating, and even more so he hated exhaustion, but he didn't want to leave. That's a contradiction, isn't it?

After carefully harvesting all the remaining lavender and transporting it to the fourth cart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood by and waited for Randy.

Randy sent all the rest of the lavender, and then he heard Jamie's stomach gurgling, but he said in surprise, "Don't worry, you'll have something to eat when you get back." ”

"Eat?" Jamie touched his stomach, a little surprised.

"Yes, it's half past twelve, of course, it's dinner time. Randy's words made Jamie stunned directly - why was it suddenly half past twelve?
