Looking at the uninvited guest in front of him, Lu Li was actually a little dazed, and he didn't react for a while. He couldn't remember www.biquge.info he had booked a guest, and the ranch's resort business hadn't started yet.

But then Lu Li reacted, "No, it should be Uncle Li's son, he said that he would come to the ranch for a while." ”

This is the most plausible explanation, and there is an Asian face in front of him - Lu Li can be more certain, it looks like a Chinese/Chinese person. For Europeans and Americans, the faces of China, Japan and South Korea are all very similar and cannot be distinguished, but for Chinese/Chinese, there are still some differences.

Lu Huaijin suddenly realized, took the initiative to get out of the car, and greeted in Chinese, "Good afternoon, welcome to Yunfeng Ranch, I am Lu Huaijin, Lu Li's father." ”

Lu Li turned off the engine and walked down immediately afterwards - because the other party was standing at the gate of the ranch, and it was difficult for the car to drive in now. Lu Li thought that since there were guests coming to the door, it would be too late to greet the guests first, and then stop the car.

"Wang, Wang. The dog next to him barked at Lu Huaijin, but he was very petite, it looked like it was only as tall as a half-palm, the dog barked really didn't have much power, but there was some cute cuteness, brown hair, small ears, and the cocked tail was gently wagging it, it looked like the little cutie who followed us vigorously when he was playing in the field in childhood.

"Hulk. The owner standing next to him shouted in a low voice, this little guy is actually called Hulk, Hulk's Hulk? This contrast is cute, Lu Li really can't help laughing, so can he and Bucky have a good heart-to-heart talk?

The little one heard the call of his master, settled down a little, and returned to his master's feet, his tail wagging more and more, as if to say, "Look at me, look at me, am I obedient?

However, compared with Lu Li and Lu Huaijin, the master seems to have been used to it for a long time, he didn't buy it at all, didn't pay attention to his performance, and said in a tough voice, "Good afternoon, I'm Jack." ”

This is in English. Lu Huaijin used Chinese, this staggered response made Lu Huaijin and Lu Li stunned, Lu Huaijin looked at Lu Li, cast an inquiring gaze, Lu Li was also confused, the atmosphere became a little strange for a while.

Li Huainan's son Li Yitong is not American/Chinese, he was born in China/China, and he also has a Chinese/Chinese passport, and he came to the United States with his parents when he was very young, and now holds a green card. However, according to Li Huainan, in order to facilitate his work here, Li Yitong is applying for a change of nationality.

When Lu Li was in the Chinese/Guolong restaurant before, he happened to meet Liu Xiaoyan and Li Yitong on the phone, and Liu Xiaoyan was obviously speaking in Chinese. Now the person in front of him is called Jack, and he speaks English, Lu Li was a little unsure for a while.

"Hello, I'm fourteen, the owner of the ranch, may I ask who you are?" Lu Li stepped forward, skillfully took over the initiative, and asked tentatively.

Jack nodded, and looked at Lu Li quietly, "Didn't my father tell you, did I come over today?"

Lu Li didn't like the tone of his speech, and had a condescending feeling, "I'm sorry, you didn't introduce yourself in detail, and I don't know who your father is." Lu Li was born as a journalist, and he was very familiar with this kind of language confrontation, so he answered the past without humility or arrogance.

Jack was a little irritated and kicked his suitcase, as if he wanted to kick the dust off his feet, but who knows if he was throwing a tantrum, this action startled the little guy next to him, he whined twice, and stepped back, looking really pitiful.

Lu Li's gaze involuntarily fell on the little guy, but he was still not good at communicating with strange animals, not to mention, wasn't the owner of the little guy right next to him? Isn't it?"

This attitude is really debatable.

Lu Huaijin shook his head, he is a teacher, he can accept that the student's grades are not good, but he can't accept that the student is not polite. Lu Li's performance just now was appropriate, but the tone of the person in front of him was always not very friendly. It's just that he is not a person who oversteps his bounds, if the other party is really Li Huainan's son, he is not very easy to speak, otherwise it will be tantamount to accusing Li Huainan of having no way to teach his son. This made Lu Huaijin a little depressed.

Lu Li knew his father, and he just saw Tony coming out, raised his right hand and waved, and greeted, "Tony, we're back." Then Lu Li said to Lu Huaijin, "Dad, you can go and rest first, or you can take a bath first, and then you will have dinner after you come out?"

Lu Huaijin looked at Lu Li, then at Jack, then nodded, didn't say anything, raised his feet and walked over. Tony greeted him and walked over with a smile, "Mr. L, how was your harvest at the shooting range today?"

Lu Huaijin could feel the sunny breath on Tony's body, and couldn't help but relax a little, "Quite interesting......"

After seeing Lu Huaijin leave, Lu Li's eyes fell on Jack again, "So, you are Uncle Li's son, Li Yitong?" Lu Li's words were said in English, but when he said his name, the words were pronounced in Chinese.

Although it is just a face-to-face, it is still too early to judge, but Lu Li has come into contact with this type of person in New York.

They refuse to be with their fellow citizens, deliberately distance themselves most of the time, and integrate wholeheartedly into local life, refusing to even speak Chinese and giving themselves English names, just like countless African and Hispanic immigrants.

Such people can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is who really want to integrate into local life, after all, many of the older generation of Chinese/Chinese immigrants have lived here for decades, and they still stumble over English, or even can't speak English, and then they are completely isolated from the cultural circle, which is very lonely. Taking the initiative to speak English, taking the initiative to make local friends, and taking the initiative to adapt to the local culture are all worthy of recognition.

There is also an inexplicable sense of superiority, as if after leaving the country, they disdain to travel with other people in the country, as if after changing a passport, they suddenly become noble - some people have not even changed their passports, just studying or working here.

In Lu Li's view, integrating into the local culture does not mean abandoning one's original identity. He is Chinese/Chinese, and now he is temporarily living in the United States, both of these sentences are facts, and there is no need to deny the other because of one sentence.

No matter what type of Li Yitong in front of him is, Lu Li doesn't like the way he handles it.

"Jack, I'm used to being called Jack. Li Yitong said stiffly, looked Lu Li up and down again, and said coldly and stiffly, the impatience in his tone always lingered, "I won't stay, I can tell you in advance." ”

Lu Li only felt a burst of absurdity, and then chuckled, "That's really good." The ranch is now full, and if I recruit any more people, I won't be able to afford it. ”

The playful and witty words made Li Yitong stunned, and seemed to sting his pride, and he couldn't help but defend himself, "That's not what I meant." I mean, I'm not going to stay in Texas, whether it's my parents' restaurant or looking for some other job here. ”

Lu Li pursed his lips and nodded in affirmation, "That's good." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Yitong didn't like Lu Li's attitude, and there was always a hint of mockery in his gestures, he couldn't help frowning, and said loudly.

Lu Li shrugged, "I mean, Uncle Li's restaurant is doing well, there should be no shortage of manpower, and the economy of Texas has been good in the past two years, and if there is a lack of one or two talents, they shouldn't be too painful." ”

"You!" Li Yitong was really stung, his eyes widened, but he didn't know how to refute, which really made him angry, "I know their tricks, they just want me to stay, they just want me to come back, the previous method didn't work, now they have changed a method, trick me back, say anything about vacation, in fact, the purpose is not the same." If they didn't want me to stay, they wouldn't have let me get here. Otherwise, what am I going to do on the ranch?"

Lu Li and Li Yitong are not familiar, to be precise, they don't know each other, he doesn't want to draw conclusions easily, but he has talked to Li Huainan, he knows that Li Yitong has misunderstood what his parents mean, and he also knows that no matter what he says at this time, Li Yitong will not listen. Because for Li Yitong, he is a stranger, a stranger introduced by his parents, and his preconceived notions naturally think that he is in the same group as his parents.

However, Lu Li is not a nanny, and he has no intention of taking care of him slowly, and he is indeed not a psychiatrist, so he doesn't know how to enlighten Li Yitong. The corner of his gaze couldn't help but glance at the little guy who was spinning in place next to him again, Lu Li inexplicably remembered the grapes and grapefruit, he was a little curious, these three little guys got together, would they make a fuss?

Thoughts just flashed in his mind, Lu Li quickly came back to his senses, and continued, "To be honest, I don't know. ”

Lu Li spread out his hands and said with a nonchalant look, "I think, this should be up to you." If you want to come on vacation, welcome, I can provide a room here, as well as three meals a day, as for the cost, because of Uncle Li's relationship, I will give you a 7% discount. ”

Lu Li almost didn't pat his chest, but his generous appearance had an inexplicable sense of funny. Li Yitong couldn't help but feel a pang in his chest -- he actually asked him to pay? This guy must be crazy! No, he must be insane!

"If you want to come to work, I'm welcome too. Lu Li didn't care about Li Yitong's reaction, and continued, "Although I don't have a shortage of employees here, in the summer, if there are helpers, it's also good." Well, I'll pay you an hourly rate, eight dollars. The number of hours you work is how much you are paid. ”

"Are you/joking?" Li Yitong's foul mouth burst out directly.
