"Meow", Bucky's lazy but shrill voice interrupted the conversation between Lu Li and Li Huainan, and the two of them looked in Bucky's direction at the same time, and then laughed together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Huainan patted Lu Li's shoulder, pondered for a moment, and finally simply said, "Thank you." Then he turned around and walked in the direction of the main house, shouting, "Xiaoyan, let's go back." It's not early. Or is it that we are staying here tonight, there is enough space anyway. ”

This sentence immediately triggered a chorus of approval in the hall, which was extremely lively.

Following the sound, Lu Li could see a large group of people jumping up and down in the room, I don't know if it was his illusion, he felt that Song Lingyi was not only inviting Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan to stay, but also inviting everyone else to stay, and the eyebrows were dancing as if they were playing with their friends when they were young, but they had to be separated because it was getting late, so they begged their parents for their consent, hoping that their friends could stay.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, he liked such a mother, a mother who was getting younger and younger, and the traces of the years seemed to be going backwards little by little.

Teddy pushed open the door, trotted all the way out, accurately found Lu Li's position, circled around him twice, and then lay down at Lu Li's feet, that well-behaved and docile appearance made people laugh. Lu Li squatted down, rubbed Teddy's golden hair, and a faint temperature came from his palm, which used to be the temperature he was most afraid of, but now it has become the temperature that reassures him.

Lu Li walked to the swing next to him and sat down, and then Teddy followed closely and lay down beside Lu Li again. Lu Li gently shook the swing, the shaking was not violent, as if a leaf boat was swaying on the lake, and gradually the whole person relaxed, as if he had returned to his childhood, sitting on the swing carefree, staring at the soles of his feet, as if as long as he shook like this, he could spend the whole day, simply happy.

The only difference is that he has a golden retriever by his side - something that would not have happened in the past.

Teddy seemed to notice the change in Lu Li's mood, raised his head, and shouted "woo", Lu Li reached out and touched Teddy's head again, which made Lu Li lie down and expose his belly, looking at the childish and brilliant appearance, the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

I took out my mobile phone from my pocket, dialed the international call, and the phone rang for a short while, and then it was cut off. Lu Li looked at his mobile phone, stunned, and broadcast it again, but he didn't expect it to be cut off directly this time, he was completely confused, he didn't understand what happened at all, the third time he dialed, and the third time he was cut off.

Looking at the screen of your phone, is it because you have misremembered the phone number?

Lu Li recalled carefully, after he got Song Kongming's phone number, he never seemed to have called. Their relationship is actually good, when he was a child, he used to be jealous of his grandfather's love for Song Kongming, but that was just a child's naïve idea, and it would be fine after school.

The two of them are eight years apart, almost three generations apart, so the life development trajectory of the two is also different, after Song Kongming graduated from university, he returned to his hometown, honestly took the civil service exam, and then held this iron rice bowl until now, nearly nine years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Although there is a lot of age difference, Lu Li and Song Kongming still have a lot of common topics, such as basketball, games, and food. It's just that the two of them usually don't deliberately call when they have nothing to do.

The first thought in Lu Li's mind now was that Song Kongming had changed his phone number, so his phone would be cut off.

But after thinking about it, Lu Li reacted - if you make an international call, the number display is often strange, and there are countless fraudulent calls in modern society, and the number is also a series of strange numbers. Perhaps, it was for this reason that Song Kongming refused to answer.

Thinking of this, Lu Li switched the language of the keyboard, and then sent a text message to Song Kongming, indicating his identity, and said that he would call again in a while, and after waiting for about two minutes, he dialed it again, and the phone was finally connected, and Song Kongming's hesitant voice came, "Who?"

"Brother Kong Ming, it's me, Lu Li. ”

"It's really you. Song Kongming laughed, "I thought it was a liar." ”

"I guessed it. Lu Li smiled dumbly, "Is everything okay at home recently?"

Song Qining, that is Song Kongming's daughter, but Lu Li has never been able to remember how old she is, and he has never had a concept of the age of the child, because it seems that they have grown up in just the blink of an eye, and they have just been born in their memory, and they have already gone to school in the blink of an eye. If Lu Li is not mistaken, should Song Qining be six or seven years old, wait, or only four years old?

"She twisted her ankle this afternoon while dancing ballet, and she was coquettish at home. Song Kongming said with a smile.

"Ah, is she okay?" Lu Li was stunned.

"It's okay, it's okay. Song Kongming said again and again, "It's just a slight sprain." Your sister-in-law took her to the doctor, rub the medicinal wine, and rest and rest. What about you, why did you suddenly remember to call me? Aunt and Uncle are with you now, right? Are they all right?"

"They were nice. We just got back from New York, and they were there for three weeks, and I took them to the concert, to see the hockey game. Lu Li's words suddenly made Song Kongming's eyes light up, and the two of them talked in detail about the fun of watching the game on the spot, and even the trivial details such as the ticket price, location perception, and snacks on the spot.

Lu Li knew that Song Kongming couldn't refuse such temptation.

"Otherwise, you look at the time, summer or autumn, come here and play, and I'll take you to the game live. Haven't you always wanted to go to the NBA?" Like most die-hard fans in China, Song Kongming's favorite is the Los Angeles Lakers, just because he experienced the golden partnership era of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.

"Where do I have time. Song Kongming's first reaction was to refuse with a smile.

"You've worked for so many years and you've never taken a leave of absence, so it's not so difficult to take your annual leave in one go and then take it off for a while. "Lu Li's hometown is a small place, the system is not so strict, and it is not uncommon for county civil servants to take leave to go out for a month.

"I remember, Xiaoqi is going to start school next year, right? After going to school, it's not so convenient to go out again. Moreover, it is always good for the children of the new era to go outside and open their eyes. Haven't you and your sister-in-law been worried about her English? You can bring her here to practice speaking. My mom is now a slippery speaker and speaks better than me. ”

Lu Li's joke made Song Kongming chuckle, but this time he didn't directly refuse.

"Brother Kong Ming, sister-in-law will celebrate her Chinese New Year's Eve this year, right? When you got married, you didn't have a honeymoon trip, and now it's too late to make up for it." Lu Li's ridicule made Song Kongming a little shy, and he continued to strike while the iron was hot, "You guys come here, I'll eat and live...... And it also includes airfare. ”

As long as he can let his grandmother come over, Lu Li will do whatever it takes.

"Lu Li, let's talk about it, what are you planning?" Song Kongming also heard something abnormal, if it was said that it was normal to eat and live, he heard about Lu Li running a ranch in the United States, but with a ticket to book, this intention was too obvious.

This time, Lu Li didn't beat around the bush again, "I want my grandmother to come over and play." Grandma has always wanted to go outside to see, but she has never been able to achieve it, grandpa stays at home and is reluctant to leave, grandma will come out alone, and she will feel guilty and have fun, so ......"

"So you want me to convince Grandpa to let him hang out with Grandma?" Song Kongming said along the way.

Lu Li nodded, "Yes, if you come with them, you will say, you pay out of your pocket and invite your grandfather to play outside, he will definitely be willing." ”

Lu Li's grandfather is an extremely traditional man, and the greatest pride in his life is Song Kongming, and his three daughters are not worth mentioning to him at all - Lu Li's uncle and Song Kongming's father died in the year Song Kongming was born. Lu Li's grandfather's favorite thing is to show off Song Kongming's great achievements, even if others achieve better results, he doesn't care. Therefore, the only one who can convince Lu Li's grandfather is Song Kongming.

Song Kongming shook his head directly, "Where can this be, you pay out of your pocket, but the credit is mine, what is the reason." Song Kongming thought about it seriously, and he also understood what Lu Li meant, but it was undeniable that he was indeed a little moved, "I'll go back and discuss with your sister-in-law, it's definitely not okay in the summer, the new NBA season doesn't start until the end of October, then let's go over at the end of the year, look at the schedule, maybe we can go over the holidays." ”

"Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, you name it, and it feels good to experience Western festivals here. "Lu Li is like a salesman who works hard to promote Amway, extremely hard.

Lu Li's positivity and enthusiasm made Song Kongming laugh, "I know." I'll convince Grandpa. But what about the visa? Isn't it a hassle?"

"No, you can leave it to me. Lu Li said in a big way, "You see, my parents' visas are no problem, and you must be like this." It doesn't matter if you don't speak English, those visa officers can speak Chinese, you just tell the truth, everything will be fine. ”

Song Kongming nodded and thought about it repeatedly, "Okay, when your sister-in-law comes back, I'll talk to her." But I have one request. ”

"I'll definitely get tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers' home games!" Lu Li patted his chest and said with a ticket.

Song Kongming nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, isn't rugby very popular in the United States?"

"Rugby tickets, no problem, as long as it's not a Green Bay packer, you can buy it!" Lu Li's neat and neat got a positive response from Song Kongming, "I haven't been abroad since I was so old, and now I have your light, and I will also go abroad." ”
