Brandon, as a guide, took Allison and the two children upstairs, Lu Li stood where he was, and soon saw Taylor striding over, "Excuse me, did we leave our luggage in the car, or ......"

Lu Li pointed in the direction of the upper floor, "You can put your luggage in the guest room on the second floor." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" and then half-jokingly quipped, "A tent is not the best place to change clothes." ”

This made Taylor chuckle, "For me, it doesn't matter. But Ambo has been getting shy lately, and she seems to finally understand why the boys' and girls' swimsuits are different. This little humor successfully made Lu Li laugh, and Li Yitong's chuckle came from the side.

Lu Li couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Li Yitong. Li Yitong suddenly became embarrassed, and quickly restrained his smile.

Taylor turned back to carry his luggage, and Jamie lingered in the front of the car for a while before finally coming over. His gaze paused for a moment on Lu Li and Li Yitong, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, lowered his eyes, concealed his true emotions, and walked quickly to the main house.

"Smoking is not allowed in the house. Lu Li shouted at Jamie's back, but received no response.

Li Yitong was simply dumbfounded - Jamie had just made racist remarks, but Lu Li was not only not injured, but also unfolded with ease...... It's not the kind of cynicism, sharp and humorous, straightforward and playful, and it seems calm and easy, it looks like it's ...... Real locals in general.

Li Yitong finally didn't hold back his curiosity, and blurted out when he asked, "How did you do it?"

He originally thought that this would be difficult, yesterday's first meeting was simply terrible, the two of them had not introduced each other properly so far, he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't want to tell a complete stranger what he really thought in his heart, but the short time they got along gave rise to countless questions, and he still couldn't hold back after all. After asking, he realized that it was much easier than he imagined. Although there is still a little bit of shame.

"How did you do that?" Li Yitong repeated his question again, and with the encouragement of courage, his words became calm and powerful, "I mean, how can you deal with the occasion just now like an American? Why can you talk and laugh like an American? Why can you fit in here like a local? You ...... How, exactly, did you do that?"

Lu Li was a little surprised by Li Yitong's opening.

They were strangers, absolute strangers, strangers who had nothing to do with him, and Li Yitong had some vague hostility towards him, he didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that Li Yitong was very repulsive to the ranch. Less than 24 hours have passed now, and Li Yitong has changed his mind? Lu Li doesn't think so.

"I didn't. Lu Li shook his head and said with a smile, but saw Li Yitong's incomprehensible expression, "I mean, I didn't live like an American, because I wasn't." ”

Li Yitong not only did not understand, but became even more confused.

Lu Li simply turned around and faced Li Yitong, "It should be said that we are all people from different regions and live on the same land. We have similarities, but we also have many differences. Seek common ground while reserving differences, and set the right mindset, then you will find that many things become simpler. ”

"What do you mean? I don't understand?" Li Yitong became more and more confused the more he listened, and slowly shook his head, his face full of confusion.

Lu Li smiled dumbly, "I mean, everyone has their own origin and background. It's as if I was born and raised in China, and my way of thinking and values are distinctly oriental, but a Chinese-American born and raised in the United States looks the same as me on the outside, but at the heart he is an American through and through. So, you can't ask me to think like an American, just like I can't ask a Chinese-American to think like a Chinese. ”

Li Yitong was stunned, but found that there was no follow-up, he couldn't help but stretch his neck, "Then what? But those racial discrimination still exists, if you don't learn their things, you will never be able to integrate into them." ”

"So you still don't understand what I mean, right?" Lu Li laughed softly, "You must first accept the differences between everyone, learn to accept your own specialness, and then respect other people's cultures, and find your own place in equal interactions." It's not you who fit into them, it's you who make up this society with them. Like the black people, who have lived in this land for centuries and still face serious discrimination, they are also an important part of the culture. ”

In Eastern culture, it is safe to eliminate individuality, maintain consistency, hide oneself in the masses, mediocre and ordinary, but in Western culture, it is right to maintain individuality, maintain edges and corners, find one's own characteristics, unique and shiny.

There is no right or wrong here, but two different cultures. This is why many Asians are at a loss in the West, because they need a sense of identity and integration, while Westerners can continue to go their own way in Asian countries because they are less eager to be recognized.

Discrimination is difficult to completely eliminate, but respecting oneself, believing in oneself, and insisting on oneself can be the first step in the fight against discrimination, and truly remove the burden of discrimination.

Raising his head, Lu Li could see the confusion and confusion on Li Yitong's face, and the thoughtful look always lingered between his eyebrows. He knew that Li Yitong had his own troubles, which were troubles that others could not understand and could not help, just like Fred, the answers they were looking for were actually in life, maybe all they needed was to slow down, calm down, and look for it.

Now, Lu Li somewhat understands the reason why Li Huainan left Li Yitong in the ranch.

"Why don't you send the toolbox to Edward first, and as for these advanced thoughts, leave them outside of working hours, okay?" Lu Li's serious words interrupted Li Yitong's thoughts, he avoided his gaze in a panic, and then bent down to pick up the toolbox and walked quickly in the direction of the construction site.

Seeing Li Yitong's slightly heavy back, Lu Li's mood couldn't help but settle down.

But at this moment, I saw a small figure in the corner of my eye, and I followed it, who was it if it wasn't Hulk?

Hulk's short legs swayed rapidly, his cadence crossed rapidly and looked busy, and his chubby little body looked like a rolling ball of meat. Compared with grapes and grapefruits, Hulk seems to be smaller, and the natural cuteness is really unbearable.

Hulk chased after him for a while, and finally caught up with Li Yitong's footsteps, and then he adjusted his cadence and walked side by side with Li Yitong.

Li Yitong noticed the extra figure beside him, and bowed his head to say hello, "Hey, buddy, it seems like it's been a long time since we last met." The familiar conversation made Hulk raise his head and look at his master intently, which made the smile on the corner of Li Yitong's mouth rise, and he almost forgot how to laugh.

"Fourteen, fourteen, fourteen,......" came Carmen's shrill cry behind him, echoing over the ranch.

Lu Li faintly felt a little tingling in his eardrums, if he remembered correctly, this should be the first group of children and guests he entertained after he came to the ranch, of course, this was also the first batch of vacation guests in the ranch, unplanned guests.

Without waiting for Lu Li to turn around, Carmen quickly ran in front of Lu Li and said excitedly, "Are there horses here? Are there tigers here? Are there black bears here? Are there cowboys? Is there horse racing? Can you ride sheep here? Is there bullfighting here?"

Lu Li opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Carmen couldn't hold back anymore and shouted again, "Is there a hot air balloon here? Is there an airplane here? Can you water ski here? Can you dive here? Is there a trampoline here?"

"Carmen!" Fortunately, Ambo's appearance cleared Lu Li, "You should know that this is not Disneyland." ”

"But when I was in Lake Michigan......" Carmen pursed her lips and spat in disgust.

Amber interrupted Carmen's words, "That's why we left Lake Michigan, looking for something new. ”

Lu Li spread out his hands, "Then you may have chosen the wrong place." It's a retirement home for the elderly, with just a few boring experiences or sitting in the house and playing bingo. ”

Bingo is a game of filling in the grid and is generally the preferred pastime for the elderly in the United Kingdom and the United States.

"Oh!" Carmen cried out in disappointment, making Amber chuckle.

In fact, the resort project has not started at all, and there is no itinerary at the moment. If you are an adult, they can experience the daily life of the ranch, but for the children, Lu Li really can't think of any special projects for a while - the cloud top ranch does not seem to be friendly to children at all.

"Don't worry about them. Allison changed her outfit, an off-white dress with lemon yellow shoes, less formal grandeur and more country leisure. "We can find something to do on our own. Allison looked around at the endless pastures, the view was pleasant, but she couldn't find a specific focus.

Lu Li's voice came, successfully relieving Alison, "I think, how do you feel about enjoying a moment of relaxation by the lake this afternoon?"

"The lake here is not the same as it is in Michigan. Taylor dragged his luggage and walked over head-on, "There weren't so many tourists, there weren't modern facilities, there weren't even slides, but ...... I love it here. Taylor smiled and said, "Carmen, why don't you go and take a look at the lake? I just saw a little red wooden boat, and you may ask Fourteen for advice to see if you can raft on the lake." ”

Before Taylor could continue to speak, Carmen screamed and ran away.
