235 Family Vacations

The man in the passenger seat seemed to want to argue, but the woman raised her voice and said, "Jamie, if you don't shut that stinky mouth, I promise!

The concise and powerful words made the man choke, turned his head unwillingly, and did not continue to speak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

The woman rearranged her expression, looked at Lu Li again, and nodded apologetically, "As I said just now, we are here for a vacation. Sorry we didn't have an appointment, are there any rooms available?"

Brandon and Li Yitong's eyes were all projected towards Lu Li. After realizing his movements, Li Yitong's neck couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and he didn't quite understand himself.

Lu Li's mind is full of question marks, although the future goal of the ranch is to expand the vacation business, but now even the villas have not been built, so it is natural to launch corresponding publicity - Facebook is still only updating the daily routine, and there is no mention of the resort's related information. So, why would anyone come on vacation?

However, Lu Li had no intention of exploring, just shrugged his shoulders and said with regret on his face, "I'm sorry, we haven't started the resort business yet. ”

Out of the eye, the man's back muscles twisted, as if he wanted to express an emotion, but in the end it was dull.

The woman was stunned, obviously not expecting such an answer, "Isn't this the Cloud Peak Ranch?" The information was very accurate, but it made Lu Li even more puzzled, but then the woman's words answered his doubts, "Julia recommended this place to us, she thinks that this is a very suitable place for vacation, and it is not polluted by the tourism industry. ”

"Julia?" Lu Li thought for a moment, and a name came to mind, "Julia-Higgins?"

The woman nodded in affirmation, "We needed a short vacation, and we were going to go to Lake Michigan, but every year we went there, and the novelty almost wore off, so Julia suggested that we come here." ”

Without further explanation, the woman raised her head and looked at the pasture, although the entrance was an open space, which looked chaotic, but the beech forest in front of her was refreshing, and the sheep not far away were walking happily, like white clouds inlaid with gold edges, and a few brushstrokes outlined a wonderful natural oil painting.

At the far end of the line of sight, the lines of mountains and woods like ink paintings, which are like ink paintings, are undulating under the blue sky, and people can't help but start to think about it, depicting the thrilling underneath the lines.

"However, it was our mistake not to make an appointment in advance. The woman withdrew her gaze and explained with a smile, "It's just that Julia said she would say hello in advance, and the resort is currently only accepting private reservations, so ...... Looks like Julia is too busy to forget again, right?"

Just this sentence can be heard, women and Julia should be good friends, and they are very familiar with each other.

The woman's gaze fell on Lu Li, and she looked at it carefully, and her smile rose, "But if it's because of Jamie, I'm here to apologize again." ”

The subtext is that I hope Lu Li didn't deliberately refuse to let them stay because of Jamie's attitude just now.

Lu Li's gaze fell on the man named Jamie, paused slightly, and then laughed. Sure enough, he and Julia are friends, and the sharpness of the conversation is really impressive. "Trust me, if it were for him, I would have doubled your room rate and politely invited you to stay. ”

That's the best way to get revenge, isn't it?

"Huh. The woman laughed brightly, cheerfulness emerged from her eyes, and even glanced meaningfully at Jamie's back, the deep meaning between the gestures was really indescribable, which made Lu Li chuckle out loud.

Li Yitong thinks it's amazing, it's all magical.

Why was Lu Li able to handle men's provocation and discrimination so well? Shouldn't Lu Li be furious? Shouldn't Lu Li be indignant? Shouldn't Lu Li be furious? Shouldn't Lu Li be furious? Shouldn't Lu Li fight back forcefully? What is even more unbelievable is why the man fell silent? Why did the woman not only not tear her face with Lu Li, but also look like she was having a good conversation? Why was the atmosphere at the scene not only not tense, but also full of laughter?

"Is it true, then, that there is no vacation business here?" or ......" The woman always spoke with a kind of indifferent elegance, unhurried, but not arrogant, and there was a slight afterglow in her words, not offensive, but enough to make people understandβ€”"Or is there another reason, after all, Julia said something different?"

Lu Li looked at the woman, then at Jamie, who turned his back to him, and at the two little girls lying on the window, and at the big boy in the driver's seat, who looked like a student about his age.

To be honest, Lu Li didn't like the way the man spoke and the tone of his voice just now, and there was a disagreement that was difficult to hide in and out of his words. But this level is nothing to Lu Li.

In fact, discrimination is ubiquitous, even in China, just like people from Shanghai and Shanghai look at outsiders, or southerners who go to the northeast, and that invisible discrimination is always lingering, and it can even be said that it is everywhere in life. How much more do they now live in another country, in another land?

The real determining factor is actually one's own mentality, only when you regard yourself as a victim, only when you also discriminate against yourself, those malicious eyes can hurt yourself.

On the contrary, a strong and resolute soul can make all other malicious attackers small, and the strength of the heart is the real strength, if you want to avoid discrimination, if you want to avoid harm, if you want to win enough respect, the first step is to cherish yourself, respect yourself, know yourself, and insist on yourself.

Of course, this is only a small part of life, and if you encounter extremists, then the way to deal with it will naturally be different. Countering violence with violence is a wrong choice, but legitimate defense is indispensable. Lu Li is not Jesus Christ, and he has no intention of bringing the halo to his head.

Jamie's words just now couldn't hurt Lu Li at all, in his opinion, Jamie was just a megalomaniac who casually put his mouth out.

"I'm a genuine person. Lu Li's response was teasing, making the woman wonder, "Julia is not wrong, I do plan to start a vacation business, but as you can see, now that the ranch is undergoing repairs, we need more space to provide accommodation." Julia hadn't updated her messages in a while, and her information was a bit skewed. ”

The woman nodded in understanding, but couldn't hide her disappointment, and looked back at the children in the carriage, as well as at the silent Jamie, "So what do you recommend? You know, we drove all the way from New York, and we don't want to drive to Lake Michigan now." ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Li could still feel that they really needed to take a good rest, especially the two little girls in the back.

"If you don't mind living in a tent, then you can camp by the lake, and then upstairs in my house, there's a guest room. Lu Li kindly sent out an invitation, "If the fee is concerned, I will charge it according to the standard of a five-star hotel in Austin, and then for the sake of Julia's face, I will give you a nine-percent discount." Alternatively, you can go straight to Austin and find a five-star hotel, there are no resorts near New Bronfels. ”

The woman smiled widely, "I've been trying to experience the tent recently." That's a nod of yes.

As soon as these words came out, Jamie immediately turned his head and looked at the woman dumbfounded, "Are you crazy? We camp here for five hundred dollars? It's only a few hours' drive from Grand Canyon National Park, and there's even a free camping area!"

Austin's star-rated hotels naturally cannot be compared with Los Angeles and New York, the average price of a night is about 300, which can definitely be called good quality and low price; however, the environment and scenery of Cloud Top Ranch are irreplaceable, and the price will definitely be expensive as a resort in the future.

The woman glanced at Jamie lightly, "Then you can drive to the Grand Canyon National Park by yourself, where my children and I are on vacation." After saying that, the woman ignored Jamie and shouted to the two little girls in the car, "It's time to come down, we'll be staying here for the next week." Taylor, you drive over and park...... Uh, where is the parking lot?"

Lu Li pointed in the direction behind the villa, "You can see it when you drive over." ”

Taylor drove slowly into the ranch and drove towards the temporary parking lot next to the lake, and then the woman came over with the two little ones, "Sorry, please forgive our rudeness. I'm Alison, this is Ambo, and this is Carmen. ”

"Welcome to Cloud Top Ranch. Lu Li bent down and stretched out his right hand to the two little girls, solemnly welcoming him, Amber was the older one, but he seemed to be more shy, standing behind a little restrained, Carmen stepped forward and held Lu Li's right hand, "You haven't introduced yourself yet." ”

Lu Li smiled brightly, "Fourteen." ”

"Hahahaha, do you have a brother named Thirteen, or Fifteen?" Carmen's crisp laughter echoed over the ranch.

Lu Li blinked, "Shh, in fact, I also have a brother named Xiao Qi, and he doesn't like others to call him thirteen the most." Carmen's nonsensical answer made Carmen laugh, and even Ambo couldn't help but chuckle.

Alison stood elegantly in place, looking a little out of place with the surrounding scenery - although it was casual enough, in the ranch, it still looked too restrained, "Alison, why don't you go upstairs to the guest room first, put down your luggage, change into a comfortable set of clothes, and then enjoy the ranch leisurely?"

Allison's shallow smile had a hint of coquettishness, "That's the best thing to be." ”
