Lu Li regretted that his time in New York made him miss the earth-shaking changes in the ranch. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in this land, almost a day, missed three weeks, and missed countless wonders.

Luckily, though, this was only his first year at the helm of the ranch, and there was plenty of time to wait until he got bored. Therefore, what he needs to do now is to look forward to the fact that the ranch can become profitable as soon as possible, so that the future days will be a little longer, a little longer.

Chestnut took Lu Li back to the stable, he didn't break his promise, found a small bucket of carrots, handed it to Chestnut, let the little guy have a good meal, and then Lu Li walked back to the main house.

Due to the fact that the warehouse was under construction at this time, the back door of the main house was temporarily suspended for safety reasons, and Lu Li had to go back through the main entrance. When passing by the tall and burly oak tree, Lu Li's footsteps couldn't help but stop, although this tree was personally selected by him, but when he actually saw it appear in the courtyard, he could still feel the shock.

Standing under the shade of the trees, the scorching heat of midsummer seems to be blocked, but the dappled sunlight can be sprinkled on the shoulders without hindrance, and the faint warmth makes people feel comfortable and lazy, such an afternoon is the best time to lie on the bed and sleep well. Perhaps, the next step should be to hang a hammock under the tree.

Raising his head and looking up along the lines of the oak trees, he traced the shape of the leaves and the lines of the trunk with the golden lines of sunlight, but he was painting a different picture in his mind: if he could climb up to the treetops, if he could stand in the canopy, what would he see? What would it be like to see the pasture?

Just imagining it, the mood can't help but fly.

Walking along the blue vegetation like a rough carpet, the fragrance of wild grass is not strong or wonderful, but mixed with the smell of nature, which makes you can't help but dance in this deep blue sea. Lu Li had to admit that the abandoned garden before was really a tyrannical thing, but fortunately, Song Lingyi gave it life again.

Some people like the garden simply because they like the process of labor, even at home, they can work with the soil and plants, some people like the garden because they like to watch the colorful flowers and green lawns spread out in sight, and some people like the garden simply because they like the joy of farming and harvesting.

Suddenly, Lu Li had a wonderful idea that Cloud Peak Ranch seemed to be missing a piece of the puzzle all along. Until this moment.

A cow is just a cow, a meadow is just a piece of land where weeds and flowers grow, and a ray of sunlight is just a halo of light shining through the treetops...... But putting them all together, it's incredibly beautiful.

It's like a pasture, animals are just animals, vineyards are just vineyards, cornfields, lakes, beech forests, etc., everything seems to be just a part of the pasture, the taste of home, the blueprint of happiness, is never complete. But when they all come together, plus this garden, everything becomes complete.

He knew that this idea was ridiculous, because the garden and the ranch had no direct connection at all, but he just had such a feeling, as if he saw Liz busy here, and as if he felt Song Lingyi's hope here, the existence of the garden finally made the defect complete. It's like that lavender field waiting to bloom.

This naïve and novel idea made the footsteps become brisk, and walking on the path of swaying flowers, Lu Li felt that he had also become Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz". That's kind of ...... Girl's heart?

After realizing this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, and when he walked into the room, he heard the familiar voice in front of him, "What's the matter? What's so happy?" Lily's chubby figure jumped into view effortlessly.

Ronald stood right next to Lily, raised his right hand, and waved happily, "Welcome home!"

Lu Li also waved his hand at the two of them, "I just think, every time you came here before, were you complaining about my garden?"

One sentence made everyone in the room laugh - in addition to Lily and Ronald, only Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, Jessica and Cole should be back to work.

"You know, there's a saying in the United States, don't judge other people's gardens and lawns, or your life will be in danger. Ronald's deep voice has a kind of calmness that is unique to Texas cowboys, and his serious words reveal a touch of spooky atmosphere, which makes everyone stunned, not knowing whether this is the truth or a joke.

Lu Huaijin was the first to react, "Are you kidding?"

Ronald shrugged, "I'm serious. ”

Lily smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Yes, that's exactly what we said. You can criticize a person's private life, but not his gardening. Then she looked at Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin, who were stunned, "Although this is a joke, we are all willing to abide by it." ”

"In Texas, someone will even take out a rifle and aim it at your cheek. Ronald made a move to raise the gun, and then pulled the trigger in a void, which made Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi stunned, and the atmosphere froze a little for a while.

Lu Li's chuckle broke the deadlock, "You have to be glad that I'm a foreigner. This ridicule immediately made the ice and snow melt, and everyone laughed.

Ronald also patted Lu Huaijin on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, we're used to talking like this here." You know, guns are part of our lives. ”

Lu Huaijin nodded slightly, "It's like no guns are a part of our lives." ”

Such a cold and humorous response made Ronald laugh heartily, and the roaring laughter kept echoing in his ears, and even the resonance in his chest was so clear.

Lu Li walked towards them, and there were several burlap bags next to the dining table, neatly stacked with vegetables, vegetables that had just been collected yesterday.

H-E-B is willing to buy all the vegetables, but Lu Li is not willing to turn the organic farm into a commodity that offers trading. The original intention of developing the organic farm was to grow vegetables and enrich the diet of the farm, and at the same time become a part of the future resort experience of farm life.

The process of planting, nurturing and harvesting is what matters more than trading.

This time was no exception, they left a part of each vegetable, not only for the Cloud Peak Ranch, but also to call other friends to come and collect it. Take the Blackmane Horse Ranch, and then the Marshall Valley Ranch.

In just a few months together, they have developed a close friendship. Every time Lily cooks something to eat, she will send a copy to the Cloud Peak Ranch; Robert will often come over to help Brandon take care of the horses, Marshall Valley Ranch is indeed the number one horse farm in the neighborhood; Justin is a free labor laborer every time he needs help, and he is busy with everyone during the harvest of the organic farm yesterday; even Sean, Li Huainan and others are the same.

Texas is so big that you might not be able to see people for 30 minutes of driving, but it's also so small that any next-door neighbor would be willing to lend a hand. Lu Li felt that his way of opening Texas was a bit special, there was xenophobia, but it was more close, tough, but more bold, conflict, but more unity.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this sentence, Lu Li really felt it again. It's just that this time the neighbors are "near" in an atypical sense.

No one in the ranch near the town of New Braunfels would try to develop an organic farm, they were not very interested in vegetables in the first place, and even if they did, they basically chose corn and potatoes, as Liz had done before. So, now all of a sudden, there are fresh vegetables at Cloud Top Ranch, and they taste so good that even if they are all carnivores, they are happy to taste some healthy organic food.

No, Lily and Ronald were not polite at all, and came directly to the door to "divide the dishes".

Looking at Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi beside Lili, this is his "distant relative", when he thought of this, Lu couldn't help but wonder. But it has to be said that separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, they are indeed "distant" relatives. It's just that now they have come thousands of miles to Yunding Ranch and come here to meet him and spend this beautiful and happy time.

There are distant relatives and close neighbors, and in the vast land of Yunding Ranch, Lu Li feels unprecedented joy and happiness.

"Lily, don't bring the vegetables back today, stay and eat. Lu left the mouth and sent out an invitation.

"What's the matter with a party today?" Lily's voice revealed surprise, "but it's already afternoon, and it's too late to make temporary preparations?"

Lu Li looked at Song Lingyi, her mother laughed, and took over the conversation, "You guys stay and eat, we just came back from New York, but we brought a lot of stories, and we can't wait to share them." ”

Song Lingyi originally thought that Lu Li was planning to let her cook, but unexpectedly, Lu Huaijin added, "He prepared a small simple party, with traditional Chinese/Chinese characteristics, when our friends gather, if there is no special preparation, they will choose this way." ”

Song Lingyi looked at Lu Huaijin with a puzzled expression, and he explained, "Hot pot." ”

"Hot pot?" Ronald looked embarrassed, "That stuff doesn't taste good, sorry, to be exact, it's really hard to eat." ”

Ronald has always been a brave tryer of new things, what happened today? Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin both showed surprised expressions.

Lu Li was about to explain, but was interrupted by a voice behind him, "Oh, everyone is there?" When everyone turned around, it was Justin.
