The busy day is finally over, Lu Li made a pot of good tea, sat in the old chair on the porch, and enjoyed a moment of leisurely time, the fragrance of tea can always cure the tiredness of the day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Teddy lay at Lu Li's feet, the soft golden retriever that made people want to rub it, the two little ones Yuzu and Grape whirled around the house wreaking havoc, but they didn't dare to approach the area where Bucky was, which looked like a sacrosanct realm.

Cole, Brandon, and the others also sat scattered in different positions on the porch, each holding a bottle of beer in their hands, and they were still used to beer compared to tea. In this regard, they have always continued the habits of the central region.

Fred pushed open the screen door and poked his head out, "What are you all doing outside?

Lu Li took a sip of tea and lay down contentedly, "This kind of moonlight always makes people nostalgic, isn't it? In New York, it is almost impossible to see the moonlight, because the bright lights push the night sky to a higher place." ”

Fred walked out, and Tony immediately shouted, "Close the screen door." "This will stop Grapefruit, Yuzu and Bucky from escaping.

This made everyone laugh, "Tony, if this goes on, are you sure you're going to sleep here tonight?" Randy said teasingly.

Fred closed the screen door with his foot, held the laptop in his hand, and handed it to Lu Li, "The two short films I shot today are inside, as well as the photos, I have selected them all and finished the post-processing." ”

"Short film?" Jessica kicked the railing on the porch, "is that the thing you've been talking about for dinner tonight? Not for me, God, should I be worried about sexism now, or should I be worried that everyone thinks all the men here are bent?"

In the face of Jessica's teasing, Fred laughed, "Don't worry, there are still opportunities ahead, countless opportunities." Say, who do you want to shoot with, you play the heroine, pick your colt. ”

Jessica squinted her eyes at the men one by one, and finally pouted in disgust, "It's really too difficult to choose, reluctantly, I'll choose fourteen, at least he looks more pleasing to the eye." ”

"Oh!" everyone cheered.

Lu Li smiled, but ignored them and opened the video file on the computer. The first was filmed in the vineyard and the second was filmed on the construction site, with Edward as the keynote speaker, introducing Fred to the progress of the project and the blueprints for the rest of the project. Ten members of the construction team all appeared, still continuing the style of the vineyard, half talk show and half documentary.

Lu Li had to admit that the effect was much better than expected, and the relaxed and lively atmosphere made people smile involuntarily. Even if it is not deliberately displayed, the scenery of the ranch is spread out in front of you like a picture scroll.

"Sure enough, as soon as the professional makes a move, I will know if there is one. Lu Li gave Fred a thumbs up, then opened his Facebook page and uploaded the content.

"Fourteen's Ranch Diary (1). It was under this name that he began to write articles.

"On Monday, May 4th, the weather was fine.

More than two months after arriving at the Cloud Top Ranch, life on the ranch gradually got on the right track, getting used to the meekness of the sheep, the simplicity of the cattle, the sensitivity of the horses, and most importantly, the intimacy of the pets - this is a huge step forward for a person with a phobia of animals, getting rid of the hustle and bustle of New York, and beginning to learn to enjoy a different type of life, and after really slowing down, life does take on a different look. Of course, I'm not disgusted with the rain, blizzards, and crowds in New York, absolutely not.

I thought that life would enter a stage of relative stability, but it is clear that a new life has just begun. In order to re-establish the vineyard on the pasture, we started the trellis construction work today, which is not an easy task, but at sunset, looking at the work that has been done for the day and the work that has not yet begun, I can see the blueprint for the future, but I can't see the end in sight, it's a wonderful feeling.

Making wine here in Texas was a bold idea, but Pinot Noir was an incredible choice.

I'm not sure what the wine will look like or taste like in the end, maybe too bitter to swallow, but that's the part to look forward to.

In the next few days, we will finish the trellis and then start the cuttings. In the next period of time, we should have no breathing room, is life too fulfilling? My imaginary ranch life should be sitting at the door basking in the sun, and then spending the whole day in a daze, teasing the sheepdogs, riding horses, and drinking a cup of tea...... If I go on, I'm going to start zooming in and listing the names of the foods. So, it's good that the meaning is there.

By the way, I'm going to watch the video of Teddy bullying Tony. ”

Lu Li finished editing this text, then attached the video, and clicked upload. He originally wanted to put the video on YouTube, but if you think about it carefully, the publicity effect of such a life-like video on YouTube is very limited, after all, everyone doesn't have much resonance, so he still forget it, and then opened the folder, began to select photos, ready to upload to the photo wall.

The worst thing about the Instagram is that you can only post one at a time, but that's fine, post one every day and keep it up to date, so the effect is even better.

I picked a photo of them working together to build the trellis, and uploaded it with the caption "Another Beginning After the Beginning". Lu Li was looking forward to seeing all the grape trellises crawling with vines, and then returned to Facebook, less than five minutes had passed, and there were already more than a dozen replies.

- Alice: The view is so beautiful! God, it's intoxicating!

- Vivien: The vineyard is actually being built?

- Marianne: Ahhhh

-Jessica: I also want to see the video of Teddy knocking down Tony.

-Cole: Me too.

-Edward: Me too.

- Chloe: Me too -- who is he? I just keep the formation.

-Randy: Me too.

-Brandon: I'd like to see a picture of Randy's splitting too hard causing his pants to crack.

- Randy: Brandon!

……

In just five minutes, Lu Li's Facebook is really lively, not only them, but even those Chinese/Chinese students who rarely contact on Facebook have also praised it.

In fact, Lu Li met a lot of fellow countrymen from China/China when he was in college, and in his freshman year, they also habitually held together. However, generally those who come to study abroad can be divided into two factions, one group is relatively wealthy, they quickly break away from the group, enter another level, and naturally do not have too much anxiety with Lu Li;

Unexpectedly, I posted a video on Facebook, and all the people who had not been in touch for a long time were blown up.

Lu Li didn't have time to reply one by one, raised his head and looked at the group of people in the porch, except for Fred who had the computer in Lu Li's hand, everyone left a message at the first time - at this time, everyone looked down at their mobile phones, tapping on the screen, this is completely the scene of New York, and it really doesn't match the ranch at all, "Hey, you guys, didn't you say that you almost don't use mobile phones?

"Please, fourteen, we live only in the middle, not in the Middle Ages. Jessica complained directly.

Randy shouted even more, "Forget it during the day, we're all working, and when we rest at night, we still have to look at Facebook or something, and keep in touch with friends." We're all young people, not middle-aged like Lily and them. ”

Lu Li thought about it carefully, and he did have a preconceived idea, "I thought that the entertainment here in central China was to watch sports games, such as rugby. Before Lu Li's words were finished, Randy raised his voice and asked, "By the way, how is Romo's injury?" I'm still looking forward to the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl this year." ”

"That damn patriot, although I don't like Seahawks, it's boring that this year it's a patriot to win. Jessica pursed her lips with a look of disgust.

Fred couldn't help but laugh, "It's good that Vivien isn't here, otherwise she would have blown up." ”

"Hey, hey, you guys!" Lu Li watched everyone talk more and more outrageous, and began to talk about rugby again, he really couldn't cry or laugh, "It seems that my idea is not wrong, your usual leisure activities are rugby, and baseball." ”

"Or else, do you want to watch Broadway like those sissies in New York?" Brandon snorted, disgusted.

Randy chuckled, "Or do you want to watch basketball like those losers in Los Angeles?" "In terms of business promotion, the NBA is indeed very good, especially in overseas markets, but in the United States, football is the number one sport, baseball is the national sport, and basketball is even ranked behind ice hockey, especially in the central region.

Lu Li didn't interrupt them this time, but sat next to them and quietly observed. Fred noticed Lu Li's silence, turned his head, and then saw the playfulness on Lu Li's face, and couldn't help but be curious, "So, did you get inspiration?"

Lu Li nodded, not only social networks, but also the way people are entertained, Texas and New York can show a huge difference, not to mention between the United States and China. Perhaps, this could be the subject of his next column.

The moonlight is just right, a group of people are sitting in front of the porch, drinking beer, drinking tea, chatting, so lively, the silence of the night is more and more charming in this noise. After a tiring day, everyone didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back to rest, gather together, and relax to their heart's content. This kind of life is so comfortable that people don't want to move.
