Every cowboy on the ranch decorates the workplace according to their own style, and they mentioned this to Lu Li, but at the time he thought they were just talking, because there was no follow-up after that, and when Lu Li went to the gift shop to buy decorations, they didn't come up with a shopping list. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now it seems that they paid out of their own pockets and finished the decoration in their own style.

"What about Randy and Tony?" Lu Li suddenly remembered this, Brandon decorated the stables, Jessica was in charge of the cattle pen, and Cole was the sheepfold, so what about Randy and Tony? How to decorate the endless land of the organic farm? And Tony's vineyard, it was the winter break, and there was only a bunch of grape trellises.

Cole chuckled, "Randy made a scarecrow, I don't know if it would be completely drowned by the snow tonight, and Tony made a fake mistletoe, and he even moved a big Christmas tree over and dressed it up completely." But considering how fast the snow is falling right now, I don't know what tomorrow will look like. ”

"You mean, a complete Christmas tree?" Lu Li's mind added, and Cole nodded, "Thirteen feet tall, taller and bigger than the one in Lily's house." ”

As he spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the sheepfold, "I ...... when I passed by the vineyard the day before yesterday" Lu Li thought about it carefully, the large area of dense trees, and then suddenly realized, it seems that Tony was erecting the Christmas tree at that time, so what was he doing at that time, why didn't he notice? Or was it that the vineyard was next to the forest, so that he looked over from a distance and didn't notice the addition of a fir?

Before his thoughts could continue, Lu Li saw the sheepfold in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned, frowned slightly, and looked at Ke Er with doubts, "You're kidding, right?"

Cole couldn't help but spread his hands, "Why not? I think these guys deserve some gifts, too." ”

In the central aisle of the sheepfold, a small gift pyramid is neatly placed, which is not spectacular, about thirty or forty gifts are piled up, and it looks like the hall on the first floor of a large shopping mall. The brightly colored gift wrapping paper exudes a strong festive atmosphere under the warm orange light.

There is no excessive decoration, but it has a different feeling.

Lu Li stepped forward, picked up the top box of gifts, put it to his ear and shook it gently, "So, what is in here?

"The gifts given to Leilan sheep are naturally chosen to suit them, not what they can't use. Cole began to scrutinize his surroundings, he had already done it once when he went to McCartney's house, and now he just needed to make sure again, it wasn't a tedious task, "Tomorrow morning, I'll come and open the presents for them so that everyone can enjoy Christmas together." ”

"Wow, if Victoria grows up, she'll love it. You know, it's always a pleasure to open a gift. Lu Li couldn't help but rub his hands, even though he knew that these gifts were unusable for him, but the tearing and surprise of opening the gifts always made people unable to extricate themselves.

"If you like, you can come over tomorrow and help out. "But for now, we need to go back to the house, have a glass of eggnog, and start unpacking our gifts." ”

"That's what I can do. Lu Li nodded in affirmation, put down the gift in his hand, and left the sheepfold with Ke Er one after another, the snowflakes outside still did not weaken, and the snow had already begun to accumulate, and the footsteps became deeper and shallower, "Be careful...... Before Lu Li's voice could sound, he stepped into a puddle of water in the concave ground, and his shoes instantly turned into a boat.

"Haha. Lu Li was not depressed, nor annoyed, but laughed out loud, the same sudden change in the weather, compared with heavy rain, heavy snow always seems to be more childlike.

Lu Li, a native of the South, never saw snow a few times since he was a child, and later lived in New York, where it snowed every year, but he always remembered the black snow covered with cinders, the hard snowdrifts piled up on the side of the road, and the marshmallow-like snow in Central Park didn't last long.

Now, in the midst of the goose feathers and heavy snow, Lu Li's mood couldn't help but soar, "Cole?" He shouted loudly, and then he heard Cole also exclaim, "Oh!" It seems that Cole has also encountered some trouble, which makes Lu Li laugh even more happily.

But Cole didn't stop and patted Lu Li's shoulder, "Hurry, hurry." Then the two of them trotted all the way forward, Lu Li felt like a mischievous child, on a rainy day, stepping on puddles, and he deliberately fell heavily on his feet, constantly stepping in the thin snow, and the creaking sound made the mood more and more pleasant.

After passing through the warehouse, he pushed open the back door, and Lu Li broke into the warm room, and then all the blizzard and wind were blocked out of the door panel.

The firewood in the fireplace was still burning, but most of it had been burned, only half of the wood was left, and there was a large pile of fiery charcoal, the buttery light reflected the whole hall, outlining the outline of the Christmas tree, the long reflection was cast on the dark carpet, and the large space was narrowed by the heavy snow outside, as if the room was the whole world, quiet and peaceful.

"Wang", Teddy, who was originally guarding the front door, stood up as soon as he grunted, and ran quickly towards Lu Li, welcoming Lu Li's return with great enthusiasm;

Grape and Grapefruit followed Teddy, spun around in circles, and then shouted with Teddy, and the shouts changed from lively to noisy, even a little noisy, and in the midst of this noise, Hulk seemed to be disoriented, he kept wandering in the area near the door, wanting to come up, but he didn't dare to come up, and finally crouched down, staring at Lu Li and Cole, and shouting from time to time.

The beating fire flickered in the fireplace, and the light and shadow of the whole room were constantly swaying, and the room, which had been quiet and calm a second before, became lively and warm a second later.

Lu Li waved at Hulk and motioned for him to come over. Hulk immediately noticed this small movement, he stood up suddenly, and took a step forward, but hesitated again, stood firm, and didn't open his head, but between thoughts, he still didn't hold back after all, and rushed towards Lu Li quickly, turning back and forth between Lu Li and Cole's trousers.

Cole couldn't help but laugh when he saw this mischievous little guy, "It seems that he has now fully adapted to life on the ranch. The next time, when the master comes, he probably won't know him. ”

Lu Li raised his head and glanced at the room. While it's all so familiar, there's one piece of the puzzle missing. In the end, Lu Li found his target on the couch: Loki.

The little fellow curled up in a ball of yarn and lay in the corner of the sofa, and when he heard the commotion in the room, he opened his eyes, and then looked disdainful. When Lu Li's gaze fell, he raised his upper body, glanced at Lu Li with disdain, then changed his angle and lay down again, as if the noise in the whole room had nothing to do with him.

That's the last piece of the puzzle, and now it's all complete. Such a seemingly unremarkable scene, with a familiar imprint on every detail, is home, a haven of peace of mind, peace and comfort.

Lu Li lowered his head, touched Teddy's head, and then looked at his wet left foot, which was covered with snow that had not been kicked off, while the shoe on his right foot was basically surrounded by dirty snowflakes, and his socks were also soaked with a layer of moisture. He wore a pair of skateboard shoes today, it seems that this is the wrong choice, after entering the room, the slippery and cold soles of his feet gradually began to seep in, and even the whole person felt wrong.

But then Lu Li saw Cole's feet, both of which were soaked. Cole, who usually chooses leather boots, chose a pair of low-top cargo boots on a whim today, but the two boots are like boats with leaky bottoms, and even the original color is no longer visible, becoming wet black.

"Haha. Lu Li couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, even with it, Cole also laughed together, in the high and low barking of dogs, the atmosphere became more and more hot, and all the heaviness and troubles of tonight were temporarily put aside, buried in the mighty snow. It was a really heavy snowfall.

Lu Li took off his shoes and socks, and then walked into the house barefoot, and Cole also drew gourds in the same way, and the two of them were like children, walking around the house barefoot. Teddy and the others were like a series of little henchmen, following in the footsteps of the two men, scurrying around the room.

Without stopping, Lu Li walked straight to the Christmas tree, stepping on a cheerful step, the smile on his face rose high, and he sat down cross-legged on the ground, Teddy and Hulk, the two little ones, also lay down, and the two little ones, Grape and Grapefruit, kept running back and forth between the kitchen and the hall, and they were happy.

Sensing Lu Li's arrival, Bucky finally gave some response, he stood up and made a small circle on the back of the couch, as if he wanted to jump off, but after looking at Teddy and Hulk, he finally gave up, found another position, curled up, and continued to squint.

Lu Li stared at Bucky for a long time, saw him lie down again, laughed speechlessly, touched Teddy's head, and then began to rummage through the gifts in front of him, picking them up one after another, but he was reluctant to open them, and put them down one after another, "Didn't you say that the gifts couldn't be opened until the next morning?" Lu Li asked in a loud voice.
