"Here's the thing, last week I inherited a friend's estate, a ranch, in Texas. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition to the ranch, there is also a part of the money in the inheritance, which is used to operate the ranch. Lu Li thought about it again and again, but he still didn't tell the matter of the space ring for the time being, after such a secret was told, things would only become more and more complicated and troublesome, and it might even make the parents' lives unpeaceful.

"Legacy?" Song Lingyi's brows furrowed slightly, "Why do people leave the inheritance to you?" Isn't there going to be anything going on here? What about her own family? Isn't there going to be anything going on here? "Song Lingyi is just an ordinary citizen, who has been decent all her life, and when she suddenly heard this kind of pie in the sky, her first reaction was not joy, but worry.

Lu Li was not in a hurry, and explained all the causes and consequences of everything that happened after helping Liz unexpectedly, including the situation in Liz's family, and the reasons for his own speculation. "I'm not so sure that if I had the chance to meet her brother in the future, I would ask him personally, but that's the way it is now."

Song Lingyi was a soft-hearted person, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "She is also a mother." Song Lingyi completely empathized with Liz's feelings for Dylan, "I hope she will be safe when she leaves." ”

Even if she has never met, Song Lingyi is inevitably a little embarrassed, especially a few months ago, she had just experienced her husband's sudden illness, and she was even more concerned, "So, you mean, she left the ranch to you, so what are you going to do?" This is a place that carries the memories of her life, and I definitely hope that you can take care of it well, but you don't have any experience in running a ranch, so you don't know anything at all, isn't this ruining her mind? ”

Song Lingyi also felt in a dilemma for a while, even more worried than Lu Li, which made Lu Li chuckle, "Mom, everyone runs a ranch with professional cowboys, and I, a layman, is responsible for controlling the direction at most, and I still have to ask professionals for the specific situation." What is herding sheep, what is harvesting corn, how do I know that, now my grandfather may also know some farm work. ”

This explanation made Song Lingyi breathe a sigh of relief, but she still didn't completely relax, Lu Li continued, "However, I don't have enough experience myself, I thought about letting you and my dad come to the United States to see the ranch and give me ideas." If it doesn't work, we'll put the ranch in the hands of someone Liz trusts, and don't waste her life's work. ”

"That's right." Song Lingyi's tense heartstrings finally calmed down and nodded, she cared more about the emotional significance of this inheritance than the economic value it represented. Even if it's a gift, it's a gift from a friend, and you can't ignore the other person's heart.

"Wait, call your dad." Lu Huaijin listened to a rough idea on the side, had some understanding of the situation, and took the initiative to take the phone.

"Well, Lu Li, it's me." Lu Huaijin said into the microphone, "Are you okay?" You should also control your time at a part-time job, and don't sacrifice your health for a little money. Without jumping into the topic in a hurry, Lu Huaijin's first reaction was still concerned about his son's body, "I heard you tell your mother just now, so, are you planning to take over this ranch?" What about graduation? Have you decided on your plans for the future? ”

Lu Huaijin's words were unhurried, methodical, and full of deep concern.

"Well, I want to take over this ranch." Lu left Zong Mingyi and took the lead in stating his position, and then explained, "In the last half semester, I will concentrate on writing my thesis, and at the same time, there are still some part-time jobs in the internship unit, I plan to stay in the ranch, try to write for newspapers or websites as a freelancer, and at the same time take care of the ranch seriously, and really enjoy life." ”

Lu Huaijin lowered his chin slightly, regardless of whether the plan was mature or not, but at least Lu Li had thought it through, which made him feel a little relieved.

"However, I don't have the confidence to succeed now." This is the truth, whether it is a freelancer or running a ranch, this is all on paper, and it is still difficult to really implement, Lu Li does not have a clear concept of running a ranch, how much is invested, how much is output, what is the cycle of realizing benefits, and how long the auction proceeds of Degas's painting can be supported, all of which are still unknown, but at least he has a start. "I'm thinking now, at least try to see it until August, and give myself about half a year. If that doesn't work then, consider other ways out. ”

After the end of August, Lu Li was still a fresh graduate, and it was still the peak of job recruitment. Lu Li can still occupy a slight advantage.

"I hope you and your mother come to the United States to have a look, on the one hand, to help me take the helm, to see if my plan is mature enough, you can also help me come up with ideas, Liz left this ranch to me, if I don't do anything, just sell it, I think this will disappoint Liz's heart, at least I should try to see." Lu Li continued, Lu Huaijin's voice was not heard on the other end of the phone, and Lu Li was not sure what his father's reaction was, but he could only continue.

"On the other hand, it's also for you to come and relax. You are not in good health right now and need to recuperate, and it is good for you to go to the ranch environment and recuperate. Lu Li continued, which was also his main purpose, "Besides, you and your mother have worked all your life and have never traveled outside." Whether it's for the ranch, or for my graduation, or for a relaxing trip, I think you should all come here. Nowadays, traveling abroad has become very popular, and it is not as expensive as imagined. ”

Clearly organized and straightforward, Lu Huaijin knew that his son was a man who could speak well, which was also an important reason why he chose the journalism department in the first place, but he didn't expect that one day, his son would actually use it to convince himself, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's more, Dad, I still have some cash in this inheritance. You don't have to worry too much about the financial burden at home. Lu Li added.

Lu Huaijin's smile was slightly retracted, and he turned his head to look at his wife sitting on the sofa next to her, she was only forty-nine years old, and her sideburns had already been dyed with a few strands of gray hair. He knew that this had all appeared in the past six months, although Song Lingyi would always quietly pull out his gray hair and not let him worry, but he was lying on the hospital bed/, and everything was in his eyes.

They got married late, and they were the first responders to marry late and have children later, and when Lu Li was born, he was already thirty years old. Neither family is a wealthy family, the two did not have a grand wedding, let alone a honeymoon, in the blink of an eye, the son is about to graduate and enter the society, and they do not seem to be far from retirement age.

Originally, I was saving money to save a house for my son, at least not to worry about it in the future. Unexpectedly, a sudden heart attack disrupted all plans, and the years seemed to become cruel overnight, for him, for her, and for her son. "Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son", he really wants to hold his wife's hand until the end of his life.

"What's wrong?" Song Lingyi noticed her husband's warm gaze, and thought that there was a problem with communicating with Lu Li, and said in a low voice, "Lu Li has an idea in his heart, there is no need to worry, just communicate well." ”

Lu Huaijin's nose was slightly sour, but he still showed a smile to his wife, "No, Lu Li thought very thoughtfully." Lu Huaijin looked down at his wife's hand, because she was planning to make dishes and keep accounts at the desk all the year round, her right wrist was always sore when the season changed, because of the rubbing of medicine and wine, the skin color of that piece was darker and very obvious.

Lu Huaijin stretched out his right hand, held his wife's right hand, and rubbed it carefully. Song Lingyi looked at her husband puzzled, raised her left hand to cover the back of her husband's hand, and cast an inquiring gaze, Lu Huaijin shook his head, showed a smile, and then said into the phone, "Okay, then your mother and I will go on a trip." However, how to get the visa, you can help the two of us get it, what materials are needed, you say it. ”

Song Lingyi was stunned, she didn't know what was going on, she looked at her husband anxiously, and wanted to say something to Lu Li, but she didn't expect that Lu Li on the other end of the phone cheered happily, "No problem, no problem, of course no problem." Leave it all to me. I'll prepare a list of materials, and you can just follow that. Dad, that's it! ”

"Yes, it's decided." Lu Huaijin affirmed again, Song Lingyi in front of her became more and more anxious, and when Lu Huaijin hung up the phone, she said anxiously, "What's the matter?" How can you go to the United States? Your body can't bear it, and now you go out temporarily, what do your parents say? Lu Li is so busy with studying now, and he has to worry about the ranch, where does he have time to take care of us? If I leave my post now, the semi-annual bonus will be gone, and you haven't gotten the medicine for the next month. ”

Always worrying about things at home, always trying her best to take care of a large family, always hoping to do her best, but inadvertently forgetting herself, Song Lingyi is always like this.

Lu Huaijin clenched his wife's hands, "Don't worry, leave it to me." The simple words made Song Lingyi swallow the rest of the words, "Besides, even if I can't bear it, there is Lu Li, you should believe in your son, I believe him very much." This sentence made Song Lingyi laugh, but when she thought of the trouble she was facing now, she couldn't laugh anymore, she was really in a dilemma, "Lingyi, I still remember when we got married, you told me that you especially want to go to NMG, to see the prairie, to ride a horse, to drink goat's milk." ”

"When did that happen, the little girl is not sensible, and you are not sensible now." Song Lingyi glanced at her husband with disgust.

Lu Huaijin said seriously, "Since we haven't found time to complete this idea, let's go to the United States to experience it and see what the western cowboy is all about." We've missed so much in our lives, and there's always something to fulfill, isn't it? ”
