Lu Li skillfully parked the car at the gate of the ranch, and a truck was parked at the door, loaded with a large amount of timber that had not yet been unloaded, blocking the way, "The villa next to it is under construction, and it is estimated that it has not had time to unload the goods." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Lu Li looked at it and said to the back seat, "Let's get out of the car first, I'll let the construction team drive the truck away, and then go in and park inside." ”

After the engine turned off, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi stepped out of the car, their eyes narrowed from the vastness of the far end to the picture frame in front of them, the two-story room on the left hand side looked like it was some years old, the smoky yellow walls precipitated the traces of time and the traces of wind and frost, the squeaky and swaying old chair had a vertical cushion, the green succulents on the windowsill had obviously been carefully cared for, and some moss that had not been cleaned could be seen in the music in the gutter of the eaves...... The rich atmosphere of life fills every corner, and the faint warmth is naturally revealed, so that the footsteps can't help but stop.

The two-storey villa on the right hand side is completely brand new, the air still wafts with a new smell of paint, the bright yellow wooden planks seem to have not been stained with a trace of dust, the brooms, sawdust and construction tools scattered on the porch have not been cleaned up, the breeze blows, the newly installed windows are gently swaying, and you can vaguely glimpse the furniture in the living room, which is still not placed...... Everything is brand new, but the simple and elegant design reveals a rustic one, which is very different from the reinforced concrete of the city, and the open windows can directly look out over the rolling hills and sparkling lakes in the distance.

"The ranch is a little inadequate, so it's being renovated. Lu Li explained simply, "This one on the left hand side is the main house. After leaving the ranch for a while, it feels like this place is turned upside down, almost unrecognizable. ”

On a cursory look, it looks like the work on the first villa is almost finished, and I don't know how the renovation is done, and tomorrow is the cowboy convention, and I don't know when Alice and her friends will arrive. Once he was settled, he needed to give Alice a call.

"Cole, Cole?" Lu Li shouted, but there was no response, he walked to the door of the villa on the right-hand side, and looked inside, "Edward?" There is no one in the construction team who is busy, look at the time, it is now more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunch time has ended, why is no one rushing to work? Could it be because the construction of the villa has come to an end temporarily, so they stopped working?

Lu Li quickly caught up with Lu Huaijin's footsteps, "It is estimated that they are busy, and there is no one for the time being." The daily work of the ranch is very trivial and they can't finish it at all, or even if they do, they will find things to do on their own. ”

Walking through the beech forest, Lu Li looked at the vineyard, I don't know how the cuttings are going there; the cows that were pregnant before don't know what the situation is, and how much the calves are usually pregnant; and Brandon's horse training work, whether his inspection of other pastures has achieved results; he looked left and right, but found that Teddy did not appear, and inexplicably felt a little lost, every time he came back before, before he arrived home, Teddy ran out to meet him at the door.

In a trance, Lu Li realized that he had gradually become a cole, every inch of the ranch was imprinted in his heart, and one trivial matter after another kept appearing in his brain, and he couldn't stop at all.

"Lu Li, is this a garden?" Song Lingyi's footsteps stopped, looking at the small garden overgrown with wild grass, Song Lingyi shook her head, "Why didn't you plan to tidy it up? It's been nearly three months since you arrived at the ranch, right? Isn't it a pity to abandon such a small garden here?"

Lu Li stepped forward and hugged Song Lingyi's shoulder, "You didn't know your son on the first day, that's why I need you." ”

Song Lingyi looked at her son who was playing Laipi, smiled helplessly and shook her head, "You just can't grow up." ”

Parents are always conflicted, when their children are young, they want their children to grow up quickly and get out of trouble, but when they are older, they want their children to grow up slowly, let them know that they are still needed, they still have a role.

Lu Li chuckled twice, "Next, you have to live here for a while, and you can take care of this garden slowly." Lu Li pushed Song Lingyi and walked in the direction of the house, "You go back and rest first, and then I'll take you to the ranch for a walk." Lu Li turned his head, Lu Huaijin behind him put his hands behind his back, and looked at the surrounding scenery with interest, "Dad, what do you think of here?"

"Your garden really needs to be taken care of. Lu Huaijin's words made Lu Li laugh heartily.

Pushing open the door of the main house, before Lu Li could speak, a large number of people appeared in the room, from behind the sofa, from behind the kitchen cabinets, from the back of the stairwell, from the door of the bathroom, and from the outside of the back door...... People came out of every corner, and the hall that was empty one second was full of people the next.

Don't talk about Song Lingyi, even Lu Li was taken aback, and subconsciously took a small step back. "Ah!" Song Lingyi shouted reflexively, Lu Li directly protected Song Lingyi behind him, and Lu Huaijin, who was a step slower, also stepped forward, protected Song Lingyi behind him again, and stood strictly behind Lu Li, looking at the scene in front of him vigilantly.

"Dada! Welcome to Cloud Top Ranch!" Randy shouted in a loud voice, and he was standing in the middle of the room, holding a banner in his hand, and the other end of the banner was led by Brandon, and the two men pulled up the banner and wrote in Chinese, "Welcome to Cloud Top Ranch, Mr. Lu."

Mr. Lo...... Obviously, they used Google Translate or something like that, translating "Lu" into "Lu".

But without waiting for Lu Li's reaction, Edward, who was standing next to him, said, "Three, two, one!" Edward was holding two pink balloons in his hands at this time, the pink color matched Edward's full muscles, and there was really an inexplicable sense of joy, "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! We sing and we dance, I wish everyone a happy New Year!"

Under Edward's leadership, everyone sang in unison - in Chinese, but the suffocated Chinese could not hear the pronunciation at all, and could only hear the funny tones scattered in fragments, the scene seemed really too funny, but everyone was so serious and attentive to sing, as if singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve.

Including Brandon. Brandon hid a small note behind the banner and peeked down from time to time, but the action was so obvious that the small white note could be seen directly.

Fred was the most energetic, holding two large handfuls of balloons in his hand, which seemed to be in at least double digits, and then singing loudly, and even shaking his body vigorously, like a sunflower in his homeland.

Song Lingyi finally came back to his senses at this time, walked up, patted Lu Li's shoulder, as soon as he turned around, he saw Song Lingyi's puzzled expression, Lu Li smiled dumbly, and pointed to the banner in front of him, Song Lingyi immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing, but he seemed to feel that he was a little impolite, so he covered his mouth, but his shoulders couldn't help but shrug.

Lu Huaijin did not hold back a smile, and shook his head helplessly - the completely non-standard Chinese was really too rough, but they looked sincere, extremely serious, touching and a little funny.

A simple song was only thirty seconds, but Lu Li could see the sweat oozing from their heads. After the song ended, Randy shouted loudly again, "Welcome!" Awkward Chinese, although the tone is not accurate, but the pronunciation is correct, the voice is loud, red, and excited, as if as long as a little rhythm, it will dance with his hands.

Then Jessica took the initiative to greet her, and Chloe - the unexpected Chloe, Lu Li's eyes couldn't help but widen, Chloe glanced at Lu Li, a smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth, but the steps did not stop, the two women walked to Song Lingyi, first said in Chinese, "Welcome!" and then opened their arms and stepped forward to give Song Lingyi a strong hug.

Song Lingyi was really startled, she was not used to hugging, she raised her head and glanced at Lu Li, and then found the affirmative expression on Lu Li's face, Song Lingyi relieved herself, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her hand to hug Jessica back, followed by Chloe.

Seeing Song Lingyi's action, Randy was the first to rush over, shouting, "Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu!" and then gave Song Lingyi a hug warmly, Lu Huaijin stood next to him and coughed twice, still a little uncomfortable with such a situation. Randy heard Lu Huaijin's voice, raised his head, and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Lu!" and strode forward with open arms.

Lu Huaijin subconsciously took two steps back, wanting to dodge, but there was a table behind him, and Lu Huaijin had nowhere to retreat, so Randy gave Lu Huaijin a strong hug.

Lu Huaijin was really uncomfortable, and exclaimed, "Lu Li!"

Lu Li looked at his helpless father, laughed after a sneer, waved his hand, not only did not step forward to save Lu Huaijin, but also said to Song Lingyi, "Mom, aren't you going to give Dad a hug?"

Song Lingyi was a little stunned, but when she saw the playful light in Lu Li's eyes, she looked at Lu Huaijin's round eyes again, and finally laughed heartily, stepped forward and gave Lu Huaijin a hug, it can be clearly seen that Lu Huaijin's body muscles stiffened, and even his expression began to become unnatural.

Lu Li beckoned to the other friends next to him, "Hurry, come on, everyone hugs collectively!"

Fred was the first to bear the brunt, then Tony, then Cole, and the rest of the people collectively swarmed over, surrounding Lu Huaijin tightly and impermeable.

Lu Li was also about to step forward to join the group hug, but he didn't want to hear a movement at his feet, and when he looked down, it was actually Teddy. Lu Li suddenly showed a big smile, squatted down, and gave Teddy a strong hug, "Hey, buddy!"
