245 Chaos in war
Jamie slept soundly last night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He thought he would not adapt to the tent environment, but he slept dreamless until dawn. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired physically and mentally after a long journey; It was because of last night's hot pot that he sweated three or four times, and then took a hot bath to completely relax, but this was the first time in nearly half a year that he had slept so deeply and had a good night's sleep.
I thought back to my last night's embarrassment, my clothes were completely soaked, and I could barely see the original color; His mouth was red, and his lips and eyes were red and swollen, as if he had been beaten by someone else; The hair was soaked with sweat and sloppy and messy on the forehead, and some people believed that they had not washed their hair for a month......
This kind of appearance is impossible in New York, and he can't even remember the last time he was so embarrassed, college? When you join a fraternity? That's already ...... Decade? Twelve years? Fifteen years? Memories have become so blurry.
But even in the time of the fraternity, the obsession with the supremacy of profit, the shame of suffering pranks, those mixed emotions occupy the head, and that is the memory that makes people want to delete. Last night was different, he laughed heartily and heartily, not minding his embarrassment, but enjoying it.
God, if his appearance is seen by those colleagues and competitors on Wall Street, he will be the laughing stock of others for the next year. However, the first reaction in his mind now was not to delete all the potential evidence, but to savor the meal of last night.
His tongue was still hot and painful, his lips didn't seem to be swollen yet, and even his fingertips could feel the numb texture. He could find a hundred reasons to complain about yesterday's dinner; But he didn't need any reason, he wanted to try again.
"Is this a poppy/poppy seed?"
He pointed to the small black particles last night and asked, this was the only explanation in his mind, and after speaking, he realized that this sentence was offensive and even contained the possibility of discrimination, he quickly explained, "I don't have any problem with drug use, in fact, I myself ...... I mean, I'm just curious what the hell this is. "I'm almost telling a secret that I can't tell.
Then he saw everyone laughing, but no one explained. In the end, Lu Li picked up two small black particles and handed them to him, "You will know if you taste them." New Yorkers always say that when we're unsure, we get it by experiencing it ourselves, don't they? Otherwise, it will always be a lie. ”
He tried.
That scene, that smell, is unbearable.
"Haha." Thinking of his ugliness, Jamie couldn't help but laugh.
At that moment, the pressure of life, the burden of work, the decadence of the economy, the congestion and busyness of New York, the fierce competition of peers, and the secret stumbling of competitors ...... All of this no longer matters, what matters is that he is truly alive and enjoying the joy of life, he, Allison, Taylor, Ambo, and Carmen.
He kind of missed days like this.
But what about the others?
Only then did Jamie realize that he was the only one in the tent, and Alison was not there. He unzipped the tent and went to the two tents next to him to look for Taylor, as did Ambo and Carmen. So, what the hell is going on?
"Hey, good morning, lazy bug, you're up." There was a cheerful call behind him, and before he could turn back, Carmen's crisp voice came over, "Daddy, Daddy, you're missing the foals!" Small biscuits, and ice cream. We just went to visit the two little ones together, and the little cookie can already stand up, and the ice cream has also recovered its health, but he looks a little envious, envious that the little cookie can walk. ”
Carmen rushed into Jamie's arms like a whirlwind.
Jamie touched Carmen's head, looked up, and cast a puzzled look, Alison smiled and explained, "Ambo and Carmen delivered two foals yesterday, and we just went to visit the two little ones. ”
In a simple sentence, the situation is summed up. Jamie looked surprised, "Wow, two little girls in our family have done a big job!" That's pretty remarkable, right? Jamie looked at Alison again, his face full of incredulous doubts: midwifery? What happened one afternoon yesterday?
There was a bustling sound behind him, Randy and Tony changed into special equipment, wore a big cowboy hat, and walked down with a smile, and behind them, Jessica, Cole and Li Yitong were also walking out one after another, and the group walked in the direction of the beech forest with a smile and a smile.
The two groups met their gaze, and Randy jumped excitedly, waved his hands, and said hello before continuing with the others.
Jamie waved his hand as well, he just took it for granted that the ranch was about to start another day's work, even though the overalls looked a little strange - everyone was tightly wrapped, with long sleeves, long pants and boots, which seemed a little ridiculous, even ridiculous, on a hot July day.
"Let's go, girls, if we don't hurry, we'll be late." Alison greeted, Jamie was even more confused, cast a puzzled gaze, Alison explained, "Today is the day of the harvest of the lavender field in the pasture, we plan to go over and experience it together, the girls are looking forward to it, what about you?" ”
"Experience?" Jamie didn't understand the situation, but Carmen and Ambo were already trotting in the direction of the main house, and Taylor followed after him, and the cheerful laughter was spilling down the floor in the sun.
"Yes, let's join the labor and help them harvest the lavender." Alison smiled and said, "I'll go back and change my clothes first, if you're going to go along, you'd better hurry." You have to start work before 10 o'clock, and I heard that it will last all day. With that, Alison didn't wait for Jamie to respond, and trotted all the way to catch up with the children.
Jamie stood still, dumbfounded - what was going on?
Looking down at his watch, Jamie realized that it was only a little after nine o'clock, and he had woken up so early on a non-working day. According to his previous habits, he had to sleep until at least eleven o'clock, but even if he slept until noon, he still felt that he could not sleep, but today he did not feel tired at all.
What's even more incredible is that Alison and they have already gone to see the foal and come back, so what time do they get up?
Jamie realized that he hadn't washed up yet, so he walked briskly towards the main house. Pushed open the room, and then saw Lu Li who was busy inside, "Good morning." Lu Li raised his head and saw Jamie and said hello, "Well, breakfast is on the table, but there are no more scrambled eggs, only fried eggs." If you need it, I can fry two for you right now. ”
Jamie noticed that Lu Li was already washing the dishes and chopsticks, "No, it's okay to fry eggs." He shook his head and looked left and right, "What about the others?" I mean, what about your parents? ”
"They went to the sheepfold to help, and there was a bit of work today, and there were not enough people." Lu Li explained with a smile that Brandon was in charge of daily work today, and Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin went over to help. If there are still not enough people, Brandon will call Chloe and Robert again. "I need to go over now, too."
Lu Li put all the dishes and chopsticks in his hand in the sterilizer, "After breakfast, you can just put the dishes in the sink." For the rest, you're at your own convenience. ”
Lu Li wiped his hands and walked in the direction of the door of the main house, passing by Jamie.
Jamie hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Fourteen. This made Lu Li stop, but Jamie couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and he still said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my rude yesterday." ”
Excuse? He can come up with countless excuses to excuse himself, which is what he does best - Wall Street people are masters of lying without blinking. But, when the words got here, Jamie didn't continue, because he knew that what he needed was not an excuse, but an apology.
Lu Li was stunned and nodded with a smile, "I accept your apology." Then, Lu Li didn't stop any longer and walked out of the house quickly.
Jamie stood still, thought about it, and his smile couldn't help but rise, and his mood seemed to become a little more relaxed.
"Fourteen! Fourteen! Wait for me! There was a rush of shouts from upstairs, and then Amber walked down quickly, followed by Carmen, and Taylor, followed by Alison's anxious voice, "Don't worry, Fourteen will wait for us." You three, wait for me, wait for me! ”
"Dad!" Ambo ran quickly, said hello with a smile, and then ran out like a gust of wind. This made Jamie a little stunned - was this the eldest daughter he knew? If extroverted, so lively, so light, this ......
"Ambo! Fourteen! Carmen ran along, but she wasn't fast enough to keep up. Taylor followed from behind, picked up Carmen, and then nodded to Jamie, "Don't worry, the ranch is big, but the lavender field won't run away, we will catch up with ......"
"But, but Tony and they're already working, and I want to hurry over too!" Carmen said as she breathed heavily, and the faint milky voice faded out of the door.
Jamie stood there, watching the backs of the children leaving, and he didn't want to leave. God knows that when he is at work, the most he hates is communicating with his children, because their shouting gives him a headache, it is like Voldemort's curse.
"Breakfast was cooked by Fourteen himself." Allison's voice came from behind him, "I can give you a warning, it tastes delicious, much better than my craft." God, I'm curious how Ling Yi educates children. Alison teased with a smile, imprinted a kiss on Jamie's cheek, and quickly followed, "Hey, hey, kids, don't forget me!" ”
Jamie stood in the doorway like this, and saw the children meet with Lan Li, and then Allison, and the group of people giggled towards the beech woods, and the figure disappeared into the golden greenery, and then he turned around, looked at the full breakfast on the dining room table, and walked over.
