In this way, Lu Li's family settled down in the Cloud Peak Ranch.

English is still their biggest obstacle, fortunately, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi are coming here for the second time, there is no need for Lu Li to worry, everything has become relatively simple, Song Kongming and Zhang Wenyin are both trying to speak, although the progress is not much, but at least not to be constrained.

The so-called communication, language is never a problem, but a heart that takes the initiative to try and communicate. The quiet and simple life of the ranch, and the warm and gracious attitude of the cowboys, made them quickly adapt.

Before coming to the ranch, they stayed in Los Angeles for a whole week, so much so that on the day they arrived, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and there was only one day left before the Lunar New Year. So, after resting for most of the day, they began to prepare. This time, the scale was obviously different, due to the presence of Yuan Qingzhu and Song Lingyi, Lu Li stood directly aside, almost unable to help, and the two of them took over the entire ranch - no, it should be the entire kitchen.

Early in the morning, Yuan Qingzhu and Song Lingyi began to get busy, while Lu Li and the others began to clean up, posting couplets and the word "Fu" at the door;

When Lily and Ronald came over, the dumpling work had just begun, and Ronald was the first to roll up his sleeves and shout, "I want to help, I want to help!" Only then did he see Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan, who were already sitting at the table, as well as Li Yitong.

Li Yitong specially asked for leave this time, just to come back for the Lunar New Year, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and their family of three came over early in the morning to help with cleaning, help prepare food, and help ...... Translation. Li Huainan couldn't understand the situation of Yuan Qingzhu, Song Qingyun and others, when they first came to the United States, they all experienced that time, and now they are helping, and they are even more empathetic.

Seeing Ronald rushing over, Liu Xiaoyan shouted with a smile, "Late, you're all late." Could it be that she was deliberately lazy?" and that's how she welcomed them, and even Teddy and Hulk shouted at each other, and Ronald touched their heads affectionately, smiling.

"Don't worry, we'll atone for our sins right away, right away!" Ronald said again and again, seeing a series of unfamiliar faces at the table, and said quickly, "Hello everyone, I'm Ronald, my black-maned horse ranch is not far away, I have a lot of contact with Fourteen, he is a great young man, Lily and I like him very much......"

"Ronald, Ronald. Liu Xiaoyan stopped again and again, and met Ronald's puzzled eyes, "They should only understand the first sentence, knowing that your name is Ronald, they can't understand the back." ”

Ronald was stunned: after knowing Lu Li for a year, he knew for the first time that there was such a thing as a language barrier, and he was directly confused.

Lily, who was standing behind her, walked straight towards Lu Li, gave Lu Li a big hug, and asked, "What about the others?" I still want to say hello one by one, do you want to take me around." ”

Lu Li still had flour on both hands, moved away, tried to avoid touching Lily, and after hugging, he said with a smile, "You go directly, they are in the kitchen, and in the garden, just say hello." If you don't understand English, then just say yours, and you will eventually find a way to communicate. ”

Lily smiled brightly and patted Lu Li's back, "By the way, someone is looking for you at the door, I hope it won't be too abrupt." ”

Lu Li opened his arms and made a gesture of warm welcome, "Of course not." Today is the Lunar New Year, just like Christmas, and we welcome every guest who visits. Justin and Finley will be over soon, and by the way, Jasmin is on the second floor right now, coaxing Victoria to take a nap. ”

Lu Li looked left and right, but didn't see the cloth for wiping his hands, so he simply walked in the direction of the door with his hands full of flour, and didn't forget to shout to Lily, "You take care of yourself." I think you're familiar with this place, no worse than me. The teaser made Lily laugh.

He walked quickly to the door, pushed open the screen door with his shoulder, and saw three figures standing on the garden path, one standing on the steps of the porch, smoking, and the other two standing beside a large field of blue-hatted flowers, without speaking, as if admiring the view of the garden.

It was Joel, Lawrence, and a stranger, who looked to be older than Lawrence, with a neat beard, neat short hair, and a strong build, taller than Brandon. Lu Li guessed that it should be Josh.

"Hey, guys, why are you here?" Lu Li was really surprised, and he didn't hide his surprise at all, and the pace of his speech was extremely slow for a while, completely unexpectedly these two visitors.

"My mother said there was something delicious here, is it true?" Joel said with an impatient expression, gulping down on his cigarette, smashing his mouth and spitting his eyes very quickly.

We don't get along much, but Lu Li can guess that Joel is a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, and he is an impatient personality, "If you put out the cigarette, then this is true, otherwise, I can only ask you to leave, there is a group of people in the house who can't smoke second-hand smoke." ”

Joel glanced at Lu Li, smoking more urgently, muttering something like "trouble" in his mouth, but he didn't complain to Lu Li head-on, and in a blink of an eye, he threw away the cigarette butt, ran it over with the soles of his feet, completely extinguished, and said casually, "I'm in." Then he opened the door of the main house and went straight in.

"Fourteen, this is Josh; Lawrence made an introduction.

Lu Li's guess was accurate, and Josh took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his right hand, "It's nice to meet you, Fourteen." ”

Lu Li looked at his hands, which were covered with flour, and smiled dumbly, "My master is really rude." Then he opened his arms, stepped forward, and gave Josh a hug, "I know, I know, this is not very popular in New York." But this is Texas, and you're going to be it. ”

Josh chuckled, "You're just like Lawrence, a humorous guy, and New York-style humor." ”

"I would take that as a compliment. Lu Li and Josh separated, and then he looked at Lawrence with a smile, and the surprise in his eyes still did not dissipate: he did not expect Lawrence to come back again, let alone Lawrence to come back with Josh, of course, the biggest shock was that they came back with Lily and Ronald.

Even though Lily and Ronald traveled to New York to attend the engagement ceremony, as Lu Li and Lawrence said before: they need time, which breaks their lifelong faith, and even if they are willing to attend the engagement ceremony, it does not mean that the shackles in their hearts will disappear.

However, today they appeared together at the Cloud Peak Ranch, which was really unexpected, so that the turbulent waves in Lu Li's chest have not calmed down so far.

Lawrence immediately caught the surprise in Lu Li's eyes, and immediately understood the meaning, "They don't agree, but they can't object. Lu Li suddenly came to his senses, and Lawrence immediately said, "After getting engaged, Josh and I need a vacation, and I just learned that Cloud Top Ranch is preparing for the Chinese New Year this year, I thought, is there a better holiday than this?"

"As far as I know, a month ago, Texas was the worst vacation destination in history. Lu Li said half-jokingly, "But ...... I welcome it. Chinese and Texans have one thing in common, hospitality. ”

Lawrence stepped forward and gave Lu Li a hug. He didn't say anything, just hugged it hard, but didn't let go immediately, just held it for a long, long time. There was no need for any words, the thanks hidden in it were still accurately passed on to Lu Li.

Josh, who was standing next to him, joked, "Should I be jealous in the face of such a situation?"

This made both Lawrence and Lu Li laugh, and before Lu Li could answer, Lawrence said seriously, "Yes, you should be nervous." Then the two of them looked at Lu Li's blank and stunned face, and both laughed.

Lawrence gestured to the inside of the room, "Is there any work we need help with?"

Lu Li came back to his senses, looked Lawrence and Josh up and down in sportswear, today the two of them did not choose a suit, but came over in casual clothes, he originally planned to be polite, but after thinking about it, he said directly and clearly, "Bonfire, the ranch needs to build a bonfire, we are going to roast a whole sheep, it will take a lot of time." Is it okay for the two of you? I'll send a few more helpers. ”

This is the truth, originally I waited for Cole and Brandon to finish building it, but now that a helper is sent to the door, Lu Li doesn't mind starting a little earlier.

"Where's the firewood?" Lawrence didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and got ready to work, while not forgetting to push open the door of the house, "Joel, come out to help, if you don't help, you won't have anything to eat." ”

Lawrence then departed, skirting the garden and heading toward the warehouse, followed by Joel, who came out swearing, babbling. Instead, Josh fell behind, standing in place, looking at Lu Li blankly, not knowing what to do.

"Pure city boy?" Lu Li saw it at a glance, and said with a smile, after getting a nod of affirmation from Josh, "Don't worry, you will get used to it." Even if you don't fit in, you'll find your place. ”

Josh then smiled widely, "Then I'm looking forward to seeing it." After saying that, Josh ran over quickly in the direction the two of them left, still shouting, "Whew, this looks so different from Texas in the movie." Are you sure we're right on the map?"

Seeing the three people bypassing the garden, the back gradually disappeared, Lu Li smiled dumbly, it seems that tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be extremely lively.

"Wow, I haven't been here for more than half a year, and I don't feel like I know you here. Excuse me, is this still the top of the clouds ranch, or am I in the wrong place, like when I first came here?"

Turning around, it was Fred.
