The collective hug lasted for a while, and when it was released, Lu Huaijin's bookish face was dyed with two flushes, and he coughed twice uncomfortably, hiding his embarrassment. Fortunately www.biquge.info Song Lingyi always stood by Lu Huaijin's side, otherwise it is estimated that he would have fled at this time.

Song Lingyi quietly took Lu Huaijin's hand, slightly soothed his strong discomfort, raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him, and didn't know how to start...... The main reason is that English is not so fluent, and in the face of such a scene, it is natural to be a little flustered.

At this moment, Fred took the initiative to step forward and showed his friendliness with a smile, "Hey, Ms. L, you wore the hat we gave you!" Fred deliberately slowed down his speech, and his eyebrows fluttered to make the atmosphere even more relaxed.

Song Lingyi was stunned, didn't answer for a while, Lu Li stood up, and was about to relieve his mother, but Ke Er pulled Lu Li's arm, "Give them a little time." Lu Li reacted for a moment, and then understood.

Just like Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan, living here, daily communication is inevitable, and if you don't take the first step, then you will never be able to open your mouth. In fact, the same was true when Lu Li arrived in New York on the first day, wasn't that how the nickname "Fourteen" came about? However, Lu Li was still a little worried -- neither Lu Huaijin nor Song Lingyi's English was good.

After a moment of hesitation, Song Lingyi had already come back to her senses, "Oh, oh, yes, hat!" Song Lingyi pointed to the cowboy hats on their heads and said with a smile, "Thank you." Lu Li said, this is a gift from you. Song Lingyi's English is indeed average, and her pronunciation is not very standard, stumbling in one sentence, but at least, she is trying," uh...... Are you, are you Fred?"

With a simple sentence, Fred's whole body jumped, "You know me?

Looking at Fred's cheerful smile, Song Lingyi's nervousness was also relieved, and she nodded in affirmation, "Lu Li...... I mean, my son ......."

"Fourteen?" Fred asked, gesturing at Lu Li, who was standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"Fourteen!" Song Lingyi was a little surprised by the English name, obviously they had never communicated about this before, but she didn't rush to ask, and then said to Fred, "He mentioned you to me before, you are his colleague, in New York, right?" The words were a little broken, and the words were very simple, but the meaning was very accurate.

"Yes, yes. Fred nodded his head and jumped up and down, "Ms. L knows me!

Song Lingyi actually didn't have anything more to say, on the way from Los Angeles, Lu Li also introduced every member of the ranch to them, and the photos updated in real time on Facebook, combined with the previous story, already had a general image in mind. However, Song Lingyi's language is limited and she can't say such complex sentences—at least not in such a short period of time. So, that's it for the simplified version.

"Jessica, you're Jessica! The only cowgirl on the ranch, I'm not mistaken. After receiving Fred's encouragement, Song Lingyi's courage gradually came up and took the initiative to say hello.

Jessica stepped forward and gave Song Lingyi another hug, "Warm welcome! You know, before you came over, Fourteen kept mentioning you to us, and we are really looking forward to your arrival." ”

Song Lingyi was a little confused about these words, she understood part of it, but she missed part of it, probably the meaning was understood, but it was not so clear. She laughed a little awkwardly. Before she could speak, Jessica understood, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Fourteen said before that I have a strong accent and speak too fast, I'll slow it down a bit. ”

With a Texas accent, it takes time for even quite a few Americans to get used to.

Song Lingyi nodded, she understood what she said, but she needed a little time to think about the answer. At this moment, Randy rushed straight over, "Ma'am, ma'am, do you recognize me?"

Song Lingyi reflexively said, "Who?" She was still in her thoughts just now, when Randy suddenly ran over and interjected, and she really couldn't react for a while.

Randy's excited expression suddenly stiffened, and it was difficult to hide the disappointment, at this time Song Lingyi understood, but she didn't immediately let Randy go, but said further, "Who are you? I'm sorry, I mean, what's your name?"

"Oh. Randy covered his cheeks in annoyance and wailed in disappointment, "Ma'am!"

Seeing Randy's sad expression, Song Lingyi laughed out loud, and then stepped forward and gave Randy a hug, "Of course I know you, Randy." You're the one who talks the most, on the ranch. ”

Randy's disappointed expression turned into horror, and he looked at Song Lingyi in a daze, until everyone next to him laughed, and then Randy reacted, took two steps back, and shouted incredulously, "Ms. L! How can you be like this! How can you be like this!"

Tony, who was standing next to him, said, "It seems that Fourteen's sense of humor comes from you. ”

Brushing and brushing, everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Huaijin. But Lu Huaijin still stood in place with an expression of "I don't understand", and this indifferent expression made everyone laugh even more happily.

"Cole, thank you. Looking at such a joyful scene in front of him, Lu Li sincerely expressed his gratitude, "How did you know our arrival time?" and then ...... Ready for it all?"

"New Bronfels is a tiny, tiny place and we have friends everywhere. Cole's explanation made Lu Li laugh dumbly, "In order to show our warm welcome, we have been preparing for two weeks, and learning Chinese is really not an easy task." ”

Lu Li nodded, "I know that Chinese is not an easy language, and this is also where I am glad, I don't need to learn." ”

The United States has always been complained that it has no history, no culture, and language is part of it. In Europe, learning a language is a very common phenomenon, and the number of people who know seven or eight languages is just a basic introduction, but in the United States, almost no one knows a second language other than English, although in high school, Spanish or French are required, but they are only coping. Even the Americans themselves spit on this.

Therefore, Lu Li also knew how difficult it was for Ke Er and the others to learn a foreign language, "However, by the way, the song you sang just now is actually a New Year's greeting. Lu Li said lightly, and then saw Cole's shocked expression, which made Lu Li laugh.

"The truck at the door is also specially parked by you?" Lu Li remembered this matter.

"Yes, we've orchestrated all of this, you know, from the time you guys enter town, all of it. Cole's tone also revealed joy, "How is it, do you still like it?"

Balloons were stacked in all corners of the room, banners were placed on the back of the couch, and even two bouquets of flowers were placed on the coffee table in the living room, "Ahh

Cole took out the paper fireworks from his pocket, and then Tony, Fred and the others also took out the prepared paper fireworks from their pockets, "Bang, bang!" The paper fireworks were set off in a sloppy manner, but it was obvious that the moment had just been missed, everyone was not unified enough, and the atmosphere was not warm enough, but they were a little lazy and lazy, creating a sense of humor in vain.

This made everyone stunned and looked at each other. Even Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin were stunned.

Lu Li pursed his lips and nodded, with a look of disappointment and coldness, and said with disgust, "You better assure me that your well-prepared party is more than that. ”

"Haha!" everyone laughed collectively and complained to each other, "It's all you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have forgotten to pull!" "It's you, you're the first to hug you!" "It's not like this when we rehearsal!" ...... The playful sound made the whole house extremely warm.

Cole stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Good afternoon, I'm Cole. He also deliberately slowed down his speech, and his words became much clearer, "You guys must be tired all the way here, let Fourteen take you upstairs, and the luggage will be handed over to us." Cole turned his head to look at Lu Li again, "Today's dinner will be handed over to us, and we will prepare a Texan-style welcome party!"

Lu Li's eyes widened, "There's still a party today?"

"Of course. How can it be called a welcome ceremony without a party?" Cole said as a matter of course, "Lily and Ronald will come over in a minute, and then we will contact Justin and Finley...... And, of course, Chloe. We'll light the bonfire again tonight, the Texas way. I know, we're not great cooks, but we'll do our best, trust us!"

Lu Li wanted to say something, but Ke Er stopped him, "You guys go up and rest first, and leave the rest to us." ”

Lu Li smiled dumbly, "I have no intention of stopping you, and I have no intention of increasing my workload. He looked back at Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, "I just thought, maybe my parents want to see the ranch and let them take a walk around the ranch, just like the first day Fred and Vivien came." Provided that they are not tired. ”

Lu Li turned his head and was about to say it to his parents in Chinese, but Lu Huaijin opened his mouth and said in English, "We are not tired, we have only been driving for less than three hours today." ”

Song Lingyi also understood, "Riding a horse, didn't Lu Li say, are there horses in the pasture, there are also farms, vineyards and lakes, and ......" Her expression also became brighter, looking at the golden sunlight outside the window, the beech forest swayed slowly in the breeze, and there was a rustling sound.

A smile appeared on Cole's face and he spread his hands, "No problem, of course. I'm your best guide, and then I'll call Brandon, who's your best riding instructor. We will provide the highest quality service. Cole winked at Lu Li, "Don't worry, we'll be more careful." ”

Lu Li remembered the scene where Fred jumped into the lake again, and couldn't help laughing, "Yes, we have to be more careful." Lu Li decided, he should go horseback riding with him.
