In the midst of the large string of wind chimes, Song Lingyi seemed very happy, and when she noticed Lu Li's unknown look, she took the initiative to explain, "When your father was young, the first gift he gave me was a wind chime. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info used to hang in my room, but when I moved, I don't know where the wind chimes went. ”

Lu Li thought about it carefully, and remembered that there was indeed a string of wind chimes at his grandmother's house, "Is it the string of iron pipes?"

In fact, it is the most popular simple wind chime in the 80s and 90s, surrounded by a circle of iron pipes, and in the middle is a prototype iron sheet, when the breeze blows, the iron sheet hits the iron pipe, and then it can make a crisp sound. These wind chimes have almost no features and are prone to rust and are difficult to keep.

"Yes. Song Lingyi nodded, and the memories in her mind became clear again.

Lu Li couldn't help but think about it, imagining Lu Huaijin when he was young, his face was full of collagen, and he was green and got the appearance of selecting wind chimes in the store, he always thought that his father should be very wooden, but now it seems that it is obviously not so wooden.

"Actually, these are all waste. "When you walk into the store, you immediately enter a sea of wind chimes, not only made of wood, but also made of all kinds of materials, such as those made from used cans and broken beer bottles. Ruth enthusiastically introduced the guests as if they had brought them to their home.

Song Lingyi raised her head and looked around, and then her eyes were attracted by a wind chime next to her, "Can this also ring?"

It was a string of completely handmade ropes, red, blue, yellow, purple, orange, and green silk threads were woven together to form independent thick ropes, and the colored thick ropes of one willow and one willow were like dreamcatchers, one by one, the fishbone braids hung on a circular turntable, hanging down, and independently extending all the lengths of a palm, and then the ropes were all scattered, intertwined, Twisting and turning down to form a colorful web, the whole net was less than half a palm long, and then thousands of threads were scattered unattended.

As you can imagine, the breeze caresses the colours as if the paint is peeling off in the crystal clear water.

"Of course. Ruth chuckled, "You'll know just by touching it." ”

Song Lingyi raised her hand and shook it gently, and the sound of the jingle bell came out, but it was a little dull, she looked at it carefully, and then showed an incredible expression, "Is this a bell woven in?"

"Yes. Ruth gave a look of happiness, "This is made by Patrick. We drove from Miami, and the two of us took turns driving, and he made the wind chimes woven into the back seat, and we dismantled three discarded shawls and a linen plaid shirt. ”

"Wow. Song Lingyi couldn't help but sigh, even Lu Li was very surprised, walked to the side, looked at it carefully, and then heard Song Lingyi sigh again, "Wow!" Other than that, it seems that there are no suitable words to describe it.

"I want to buy a large wind chime. Song Lingyi only felt overwhelmed, she couldn't choose at all, and she liked every wind chime she saw in her sight, "Then hang it under the eaves of the porch, and the wind chimes can also be transmitted to the house, so that we can feel the strength of the wind." ”

"What area do you live in?" said Ruth cheerfully, "different areas have different styles, I'll pick you the right one and see if you like it." ”

"In fact, we live on the ranch, just outside of New Braunfels. Song Lingyi looked at Lu Li, and Lu Li explained.

Ruth nodded, she didn't ask too much, why Song Lingyi said just now that Lu Li was a reporter, and it was the first time to go abroad, but now she said that she lived in the ranch, but chose to respect their privacy. She walked around the house quickly, "In the case of the ranch, generally speaking, the wind is relatively strong, and the space is relatively empty, these large wind chimes will be more suitable, and these connecting wires are relatively strong and not easy to damage." Even if they are damaged, they are all pristine and can be easily repaired. ”

Ruth turned around and winked at Song Lingyi, "I can guarantee it here until we leave." ”

Song Lingyi couldn't help but wonder, "Then when are you going to leave?"

"I don't know. Ruth shrugged, "Actually, I'm just less than two months pregnant......"

"Oh! Congratulations!" Song Lingyi showed a happy expression on her face and sent sincere blessings, and Lu Li also congratulated her again and again.

"Thank you. Ruth laughed, "Now this little guy is holding us back. I talked to Patrick, and when he was born, we moved on, thinking about going in the direction of Seattle and possibly Alaska. While walking, looking at the place, which place you like, and then you stop and live for a while. ”

"So you just live on the road all the time?" Song Lingyi said curiously, which is completely different from their way of life. Chinese/Chinese people are particularly eager for a sense of security, the house is everything to them, everything will be concentrated on the house, after buying the house, they will settle down, take root, and are unwilling to change for a long time.

Ruth nodded, and brought the two large wind chimes next to him to the center of the room, and then put a hook on the protruding wall, "It's in our gypsy nature to wander. We always think that the soul is free and cannot be tied to one place, and the day we stop, that is, when life comes to an end. ”

Ruth showed the wind chimes to Song Lingyi, but Song Lingyi's attention was always on Ruth's words, "If life is stable, it is very beautiful, and it is also the pursuit of many people." But for us, once life lacks change and is completely calm, it will start to become boring, as if it has lost its vitality. Constantly walking on the road does not mean that we are unstable, but it means that we are pursuing change and looking for challenges, so that the long river of our lives becomes colorful and colorful. ”

Song Lingyi opened her mouth wide and looked at Ruth in disbelief. Although Lu Li's grandmother has always encouraged them to go outside to see more and appreciate the style of the world, they are still traditional in their bones, and they are eager to settle down and find their roots, Ruth's thoughts are undoubtedly a huge impact.

"I finally understand why my mom has been insisting that we need to go out into the world and see it. Song Lingyi said with a sigh, she looked Ruth up and down, and her smile suddenly bloomed, "It's like this skirt of yours, with a slight turn, all life flies, right?"

Ruth looked down at the hem of his skirt, and then spun in circles, the fluttering hem of the skirt suddenly came alive.

Lu Li raised his hand and called out in a loud voice, "Mom, Mom!" and then continued to encourage Song Lingyi.

However, Song Lingyi is still a little restrained, for Chinese, dancing in public without regard to it, and there is no music, is simply a show, except for square dancing, of course.

Ruth noticed Song Lingyi's shyness and Song Lingyi's impatience, she stopped, stepped forward, and grabbed Song Lingyi's right hand, "Dance, it's like no one sees it." This is our life, so why care about other people's eyes?" Then Ruth drove Song Lingyi to turn.

Ruth's colorful skirt flew again, but Song Lingyi was wearing loose cargo pants today - in order to make it easier to work in the garden, but when she turned around, Song Lingyi also let go of her hands and feet, and her smile and joy flew together, and that unique charm made people indulge in it.

In the end, Song Lingyi chose a large wind chime, about half a person tall, made entirely of discarded logs, some dark brown, some off-white, and dark red, each small embellishment has a different shape, there is no need for too much decoration and embellishment, it is already a work of art in itself.

Ruth insisted on giving the wind chime to Song Lingyi as a gift, but Song Lingyi insisted on being unwilling. Lu Li still came up with a compromise solution, this string of wind chimes was bought by Lu Li with money and was ready to be hung on the porch, and then Ruth gave a small one to Song Lingyi and asked her to hang it on the windowsill of the master bedroom.

This method was approved by Ruth and Song Lingyi.

"Patrick, can you get this big guy to Fourteen's car?" Ruth shouted out the door, the giant wind chimes were a hassle to put together, and they had to avoid knots, let alone transport, and since they were made of wood, they were not light.

"Okay. Patrick was also busy by this time, and walked over after packing his things, "Leave these things to me." Hey!" The last sound was to say hello, he saw Lu Li and Song Lingyi, raised his chin, and took the initiative to say hello.

"Thank you. Song Lingyi expressed her gratitude, "It shouldn't have disturbed your work, right?"

Patrick shook his head sullenly, "No. My work has come to an end for now. The words were very short, and he didn't seem to be very happy to speak.

However, Song Lingyi has long been used to it, and Lu Huaijin is like this. "Are all of those bracelets handmade? Do they mean anything special?"

Patrick shrugged his shoulders and paused for three seconds, letting the silence flow slowly before he spoke, "They can ward off bad luck and bring blessings." The function of each article is different. ”

As if to verify Patrick's words, Ruth held up her hands, "These are all woven by Patrick. ”

Song Lingyi nodded in amazement, "I noticed it just now, this is really beautiful!" She looked back at Lu Li, "What do you think?"

"I also think it's beautiful, you can buy some if you like it. Lu Li gave a positive response. "Maybe you can buy some for Dad. ”

Song Lingyi immediately burst out laughing and waved her hand again and again, "Forget it about your father, he is not this style, he will never bring it." ”

Lu Li pursed his lips, "If you bought it, he would bring it." If he bought it, it is estimated that Lu Huaijin would just nod his head to express his gratitude, and he would never bring it.

Ruth seemed to sense the unspoken meaning in Lu Li's words, winked at Lu Li, and laughed.
