Looking at this McCartney in front of him, Lu Li simply nodded and signaled, when strangers in the big city touched their eyes, they all handled it like this, and Cole immediately nodded and signaled, but this McCartney did not react, just looked at them directly, and the mobile phone in his hand was gently fiddling - or, not sure if he was looking at them or thinking, the focus was a little unclear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It doesn't matter, though.

Lu Li didn't stop, turned around and walked outside the house, Cole followed, and after leaving the confines of the main house, Cole opened his mouth and asked, "What happened just now? Did you two quarrel?" Obviously, Cole was still not used to that kind of round-and-forth style of speaking.

Lu Li wrinkled his nose, "Don't count." But after a pause, recalling it in his mind, he nodded, "Yes." Lu Li obviously meant something by those words, "I just think that they finally came back, but they didn't want to talk to Ronald and Lily, they looked like strangers." I don't think that's good. ”

After saying that, Lu Li grinned and looked at Cole, "Am I nosy?" According to the style he has learned in New York over the past four years, he should keep his mouth shut, not only because this is McCartney's family matter, but also because he has limited knowledge of the situation, and maybe there is more inside information behind it.

However, he still didn't hold back just now.

Cole shook his head disapprerovingly, "It's okay, I agree with you." Lily and Ronald don't deserve such treatment. ”

"Huh, do you think you want to talk to Lily later......" Lu Li let out a long breath, but still didn't feel good, and the two of them walked towards the warehouse as they spoke.

In the room, Lawrence's hands were busy again, tapping quickly on the keyboard, and he was engrossed in his work. Suddenly, without warning, he stopped, closed his notebook, threw it aside, stood up and poured all the remaining whiskey down his throat, walked to the door, and picked up his coat.

"What, you're going to go out?" Joel McCartney was still leaning against the wall, with a hint of ridicule in his voice, but Lawrence didn't respond, and didn't seem to have any intention of responding, Joel wasn't surprised at all, but felt more and more funny, and teased, "You can't be because of that kid's words, right?"

They are all smart people, how could they not understand the metaphors and ridicule of Lu Li's words?

Lawrence chuckled, his tone was flat, but always with a hint of mockery, "It's because that kid just now has been accompanying them and distracting them." You've cleared your ears a lot this past year, haven't you?"

The corners of Joel's mouth rose slightly, but he didn't say anything more and didn't make any movements. The hall was quiet for a while, but this silence did not last long, the phone vibrated again, Joel simply picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and pushed open the back door and walked out as he spoke, and went back to his busy work.

"I remember two weeks ago, Brandon and Justin came over to help chop firewood, right? Or am I mistaken?"

"I don't remember clearly. However, when he met Edward the day before yesterday, he said that he had come to help chop wood. Now, it seems, he didn't come. ”

"The day before yesterday, the water heater at Dorothy's house was broken, and Edward and the others went over to help, but they probably didn't have time. I need to get some more today. By the way, the shops won't be open tomorrow, right?"

"What? Do you want to go to the gift shop? It's definitely not open on holidays, and even supermarkets and convenience stores are not open in our town. ”

"yes, I think those little dolls are funny. At this time, I will miss China. With us, you can find a store at any time. When I was in Europe, most of the shops were closed every Sunday, and there was no way to buy some daily necessities, so I had to prepare in advance. ”

……

As he walked close to the warehouse, Lawrence could hear very everyday conversations, the prosaic content of which seemed to have no nourishment, but was just meaningless small talk.

In New York, it is a waste of time for him to quickly lose attention in such a boring dialogue, and for New York, time is money, and every minute and second wasted is shameful. He's a lawyer, it's not too serious for him, it's barely bearable, and if you look at those Wall Street guys, even when they go to the bathroom, they're running at high speed, and this kind of nonsense will definitely be ignored.

Paused and listened carefully. Lawrence thought he would be moved, or missed, or something like that, but in fact, no. is, and he still doesn't like it.

However, it was Christmas Eve, and the kid was right, he could at least have a little time to himself, even if it was just one night. To be honest, he doesn't remember the last time he had a completely relaxing vacation, and he suddenly decided to put his work down for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

So, why not? At least, the conversation with that kid was quite pleasant.

Walking into the warehouse, Lawrence looked at the familiar but extremely strange scenes around him, and then looked down at his suit and leather shoes, life has changed a lot. Those changes, he thought he was fully aware of, but in fact they were not, the power of time is always unexpected.

Lawrence's footsteps hesitated slightly, the leather shoes rubbed against the straw on the ground, making a sound, Lu Li and Cole both raised their heads, and then they saw an absolutely unfamiliar figure, and their eyes showed surprise without concealment, not only surprised by Lawrence's appearance, but also surprised by Lawrence's next move-

Lawrence took off his coat again, tossed it aside, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, the usual habitual expression on his face, which looked a little out of place. He looked left and right, then picked up the axe next to him and flipped it in his hand, trying to get a sense of the weight, "Maybe I can help improve my productivity." ”

Lu Li and Ke Er exchanged a glance, their expressions were a little mixed, and there were some doubts in the shock, they were really confused about the current situation, but Lu Li still laughed and took over the topic, "Are you sure? Are you sure it's not to reduce work efficiency?"

Judging from the busy workload of lawyers, it is estimated that even basic exercises such as running and gym are difficult to do, not to mention "chopping wood".

Lawrence's eyes flashed slightly, "I've almost forgotten that I'm used to talking straight here." ”

Cole looked at Lawrence with a cold face, but Lu Li smiled even more happily, "I'm pretty sure that New York's speech is also straightforward." "In big cities, there is hardly any intersection between strangers and strangers, and if there is no relationship of interest, the lines are clearly drawn and then they do not offend each other. To be honest, their conversation was not straightforward, but emotionless and cold.

Lawrence was not angry, and walked to the side with an axe, "Your current style is still more suitable for New York, are you sure you don't have the idea of going back?" Fighting back like this, there is no edge, but it is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Cole wanted to refute something, but Lawrence didn't give him a chance, and immediately raised the axe - the suit was matched with the axe, and the movements of his hands looked a little awkward, as if he would be out of his hands, and the axe raised high looked like a murder weapon raised high. The attention of Lu Li and Ke Er was transferred in an instant.

Lawrence thought he had forgotten everything, these were memories from more than ten years ago, and he had no clue in his mind, he couldn't even remember how to catch the axe, but he didn't expect that after catching the axe, it would naturally be accurate, and the body's memory was still so clear, just like riding a bicycle, it was integrated into the blood, and he could never forget it.

Raise your hand, go over the top, fall, accelerate, afterburner.

"Split", the firewood was simply split in half, but after a long time, it was still a little rough, one of which was too small, and the other was unevenly large, and it looked wobbly when it stood up.

Lawrence tilted his head and said approvingly, "It's a passing grade, right?"

Lu Li and Ke Le exchanged glances, and then Ke said hesitantly, "...... This is our stake. "It's just to put it under the bottom and support the firewood, so that it is easy to control the height and angle, and it is also convenient to control the force.

Lawrence was stunned, then opened his mouth and let out an "ah", the empty end and regretful syllables, as if he wanted to justify, but he was helpless to express his approval. In this brief moment, a crack appeared in Lawrence's flawless image, and there was actually some ...... Comical.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Cole didn't mock Lawrence aggressively, but pointed to the remaining large piece of wood, "Can you chop it well? Those extremely serious words brought a hint of joy.

Lawrence pursed the corners of his lips and shrugged, "You'd better take two steps back, I'm not sure if my accident insurance covers a third party." There was a hint of humor in that rigidity, which was really different.

Lu Li and Cole made an inviting gesture, Lawrence grabbed the axe with both hands, rubbed it twice, and then spat twice into the palm of his hand - such a crude action, he had not done it for many years, and he inevitably felt a little disgusted at the moment, but he unexpectedly felt pleasant, which is absolutely impossible to happen in New York.

Grabbing the axe, he repeated all the movements again, starting and closing, all in one go, and with this crisp sound, the firewood was successfully split in half, and even Lawrence himself did not expect it, "Drink!" shouted, venting all his strength, refreshed.
