217 Commissioned by Uncle Li
Jumping tilted his head, staring at Bucky in front of him, his translucent eyes were shining in the moonlight, dripping and turning, as if he wanted to step forward, but he was a little scared, even if Bucky's eyes were out of focus and stood in place, he didn't dare to act rashly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info recalled the process of Hopping's appearance, and Lu Li felt that the psychological shadow area of Hopping should not be calculated.
In the night, the chirping of crickets was heard, like a violin nocturne, melodious and melodious.
The air between Jump and Bucky seemed to condense, which made Lu Li, who was onlookers, unable to help but hold his breath and watch intently. Unconsciously, Lu Li's muscles tensed, and his sleepy brain began to activate, as if he was enjoying the most interesting duel in the world, full of interest.
At this moment, Hop Hop looked like he had finally made up his mind: he was going to attack! Then, Hop Hop lunged forward, as if he was going to fight Bucky, but before Jump could pounce, he saw Bucky fall straight up, his muscles stiff and motionless, looking like a mummy.
Jumping was obviously frightened by the surprise - he hadn't even touched it, why did Bucky fall? What the hell was going on? Could there be some conspiracy in it? Jumping out of the action was retracted, and then landed lightly in front of Bucky, stiffened again, looked at Bucky lying on the ground in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to confront it head-on, to avoid a loss, turned around and ran away.
The sonic running figure vanished into the grass in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few blue-cap flowers to shake slightly, revealing her whereabouts.
Lu Li didn't hold back, and laughed out loud. It seems that the psychological shadow area of Jumping is really too large to be saved.
His eyes fell on Bucky again, in fact, Lu Li was also a little frightened, not sure if Bucky was okay, but when he looked over, he saw Bucky's two front paws itching lazily, his head against the ground, twisting gently, it was okay at all, he just didn't enjoy it too much, which made Lu Li a little curious, what kind of taste did this catnip taste like, it actually had such magic.
"Lu Li, what are you looking at?" came familiar Chinese behind him, turned around, and then saw Li Huainan walking over.
Lu Li chuckled, "My cat is sniffing catnip, it looks too funny." Lu Li explained simply, beckoning Li Huainan to come over and enjoy it together. But Li Huainan waved his hand, as if he was not interested, and Lu Li did not invite again, so he simply turned around and asked, "What, are you going to go back?"
It was already late at night, and it would take Li Huainan and them more than ten minutes to drive back.
"Yes, your Aunt Liu is still inside, and I was a little moved to hear your mother talk about interesting things about playing in New York. Did you really go to see an ice hockey game?" asked Li Huainan curiously.
Lu Li laughed, "Yes." What, Uncle Li is also interested?"
"No, it's just curiosity. Here, everybody says football, and then there's baseball. Li Huainan explained.
"If you're interested, I can be a guide next time and take you to the scene to feel the atmosphere of the game. Lu Li took the initiative to send out an invitation, "You and Aunt Liu can go to other cities to have a look and feel the scenery that is different from Texas." ”
Li Huainan's expression was a little moved, but he still didn't nod after all.
Lu Li knows, in fact, Li Huainan is the same as Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, their generation has dedicated their lives to their children, they are extremely generous to their children, but they are extremely stingy with themselves, this time, if it weren't for Lu Li's relatively big changes here, and Lu Huaijin has just undergone heart surgery, and his mentality has changed, it is estimated that they will still not come.
Li Huainan said with a smile, "After living in the United States for a long time, I feel the same everywhere, nothing special. The honest and hearty laughter, with a hint of shyness, Lu Li nodded in agreement, and did not deliberately refute. As long as you have the right mentality, you can find your own happiness anywhere.
"By the way, I came to you because I wanted to trouble you with something. Li Huainan moved his shoulders a little stiffly, looking unaccustomed to asking for help.
Lu Li was not in a hurry, just looked at Li Huainan intently, gave him enough time, and waited patiently.
"I mean, during the summer vacation, my kid can come to the ranch for a while, I mean, work here. Li Huainan's words were slightly messy, and he could hear that he was very nervous, "Free, I mean working for free, you only need to provide him with three meals a day." Lu Li, I know this request is a bit sudden, and it's also very strange......"
"Uncle Li, Uncle Li. Lu Li interrupted Li Huainan's words, motioned for Li Huainan to look at him intently, and then showed a big smile, "No problem." Of course there is no problem. Lu Li could see that Li Huainan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled, "Uncle Li, your family is welcome to come to the ranch at any time, don't be polite to me, okay?"
Li Huainan laughed dryly twice, and his emotions gradually calmed down, "That kid in my family, Li Yitong." ”
"One tube?" This is not the first time Lu Li has heard the story of Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan's husband and wife, but it is the first time he has heard his name, something is wrong, is it mahjong?
Li Huainan laughed, "At the beginning, we thought that this name was very similar, the tung of Wutong, and it was very distinctive. After I got the hukou, I realized that the name is the same as mahjong. Recalling those old events, Li Huainan became more and more relaxed.
"So, he came to the ranch, is it just a vacation? Or what's going on?" Lu Li's question was more vague, after all, Li Huainan was Chinese/Chinese, not as direct as North Americans. Li Huainan put forward this proposal without warning, and there must be a hidden story behind it, but Lu Li is not sure how much Li Huainan is willing to say.
"Work, he's here to work. Li Huainan said affirmatively, "I want him to learn from you, you know, he has always wanted to stay in the big city, he doesn't want to come back, he always feels that he can't stay here." ”
Lu Li was stunned, "Uh, he's still in college, or ......"
"He's already working. He's twenty-seven years old, much older than you. Li Huainan replied.
Lu Li was a little embarrassed, "Uncle Li, there are advantages to staying in a big city, and there are also benefits to staying in a ranch, I think, maybe, you can communicate well with Brother Yitong." ”
Li Huainan was stunned, then he realized what Lu Li meant, and shook his head again and again, "That's not what I meant, I didn't mean that." ”
For parents, they always hope that their children can stay by their side, that their children can return to their roots, and that their children can accompany them. Lu Li also thought that Li Huainan hoped that Li Yitong would not stay in Los Angeles, but return to Texas and stay by their side, but Li Yitong disagreed, so Li Huainan wanted Lu Li to convince him.
Lu Li knew that this was a hot potato, he didn't think that Li Yitong would listen to him, after all, the two had never met.
Unexpectedly, Li Huainan denied it.
Li Huainan immediately realized that there was ambiguity in his words just now, and couldn't help laughing, "I know that every child has his own thoughts. When he went to Los Angeles, he convinced both of us, and we both agreed. He can stay in Los Angeles if he wants to, and it's one thing we want him to stay around, but it's another thing when the kids grow up and have their own ideas and carve out their own lives. We can't protect our children for the rest of our lives, can we?"
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized the little misunderstanding just now, laughed, deliberately exaggerated a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said teasingly, "The muscles in my back just now were stiff like marble. ”
"Huh. Li Huainan was also amused, and then went on to explain, "However, in the past year, he has become more and more unhappy and lifeless. He doesn't like his job, but he can't find his way. More precisely, he didn't know what he wanted. He doesn't complain often, but on the phone, he's always unhappy. Your Aunt Liu and I are very worried about him. ”
Lu Li suddenly realized.
Anyone who stays in the same job for a long time, repeats the same work mechanically day after day, the edges and corners of his personality will be gradually smoothed out, and life seems to lose its vitality, which is the same all over the world;
Lu Li himself has not experienced such a stage for the time being, but he also feels it. However, Lu Li did not interject, but asked Li Huainan to continue.
"We thought maybe he could use a vacation and work in a different environment, and he would be in better shape. Li Huainan said uncertainly, and after finishing speaking, he fell into a short silence, and then took a deep breath, "We will always respect his choice and his decision." If he wants to come back to Texas, that's great, we can take good care of him here, and if he still wants to go to Los Angeles, we're his strongest supporters, and we just hope he's happy, he's only twenty-seven, isn't it?"
Li Huainan raised his head and looked at Lu Li, "You are doing a good job, you always know what you are doing, and you can calm down and arrange your life in an orderly manner." ”
"Haha, Uncle Li, other people's meals are always fragrant, and other people's children are always good. Lu Li smiled and waved his hand, when he decided to come to the ranch, he also struggled, and now he is still unwilling to give up his dream of being a reporter, and he is not as free and easy as he seems on the surface. "I'm just in a slightly better state of mind. ”
Li Huainan was amused by Lu Li's modest words, and he wanted to say something, but Lu Li interrupted him and continued, "If Brother Yitong is willing to come here for a while, change the working environment, and adjust the rhythm of life, of course I will welcome it with my hands raised." ”
