408 Tears welled up in his eyes
"Happy birthday to you, dear Fourteen!"
The joyful singing came together and surged towards Lu Li. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, Lu Li realized that it was not only Cole, but also the bright smiling faces of Tony, Jessica and Randy, as well as the standing singing of Liu Xiaoyan, Li Huainan, Lily and Ronald, as well as the loud echoing of Justin and Finley, as well as Brandon's one-glance singing and Jasmin's can't help but smile, as well as the chorus of Robert and Chloe, as well as Adam's unbridled smile, and Scarlett's smiling soft singing, and ......
No, everyone, everyone on the scene is singing, everyone in the real sense! And everyone is in unison, all eyes are focused on Lu Li's shoulders, undoubtedly firmly proving that they are not making trouble, and the current development trend is correct.
After singing a complete birthday song, Lu Li still didn't come back to his senses, he held a pot of dumplings in both hands, stood in place stunned, looked at the cake in front of him stupidly, and then looked at Ke Le in front of him, not knowing what was happening at all. My mind is full of question marks, and I can't find an answer.
Shouldn't this be a party celebrating Jasmin's successful birth? Shouldn't this be a party celebrating Brandon becoming a father? Shouldn't this be a celebration of the little princess's first birthday since she came into the world? Shouldn't this be a secret surprise party to tease Brandon?
So what's going on now, what's going on here? Why is the style of painting completely wrong? Why is he the only one in the dark? Can anyone come and explain it to him?
Cole pointed to the cake in front of him and said, "Quick, make a wish, this is your first birthday since you arrived at the ranch." ”
"Uh......" Lu Li was stunned, his head still didn't react, but Tony, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it, and ran over and hooked up Lu Li's shoulder, "November 12th, it's your birthday, right?"
Lu Li only reacted at this time, and subconsciously asked, "Is it?" actually thought about it seriously in his head, and then in the laughter of Cole, Tony and others, he remembered: Indeed, November 12 is indeed his birthday.
However, he completely forgot!
It's true, no joke. He really forgot.
Lately, he's been completely busy, and since Halloween, there's hardly been a break. In addition to the ranch getting into high gear, he is also busy writing a new manuscript, not a craftsman series, but a new idea.
Lu Li had written a total of eight articles in the "New York Times" before, of which two were shot, and only six were successfully reprinted; unexpectedly, the articles received a good response, and the click-through rate and number of retweets were very gratifying.
This gave Lu Li more confidence, and he now started writing manuscripts with full energy and motivation, and every day except for ranch work, after riding chestnuts out for half an hour, he would sit on the porch and think, thinking like a spring, and he couldn't stop being busy. Don't talk about his birthday, he doesn't even have a concept of what day it is today or what day of the week.
Now that Ke Er reminded him, Lu Li remembered it.
Yesterday Song Lingyi called him twice, he was busy in the warehouse, he didn't receive it, and then he saw a missed call reminder and was about to call back, but there was some commotion in the stable, Adam and Scarlett were a little scrambling, Cole shouted that he went over to help together, so that he forgot about it later.
If he didn't guess wrong, Song Lingyi called specifically to congratulate him on his birthday. However, this year is only a small birthday, and Lu Li is officially twenty-three, which is not a grand birthday, so Song Lingyi did not call frequently.
Today is his birthday, that's a fact. Despite this, Lu Li was still confused and didn't understand how all this happened, "How do you know my birthday?"
He doesn't remember saying on the ranch, or rather, that he didn't celebrate his birthday after coming to the United States, the only time he was twenty-one was when he was twenty-one, when his roommate, who lived with him at home, took him to a bar to celebrate—the United States valued twenty-one more than twenty, because it was finally legal to drink.
Looking at Lu Li, who was full of question marks, Tony and the others thought that they had made a fuss, and they all cast their eyes at Cole.
Cole was calm, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "I've seen your green card before. ”
Lu Li suddenly realized that when he went through many procedures for the ranch before, he was handled by Cole. It's just that I didn't expect Cole to write down such details. Then, Lu Li turned his head to look around, and even if he didn't speak, Ke Le understood the meaning of this look.
"Yes, everybody knows. Cole's words made everyone around him smile, "You're the only one in the dark." Originally, I would only have passed Tony and Randy yesterday, and today I was going to have a small party, and I also notified Lily and Uncle Li, but as a result, there was an accident, so the party got bigger and bigger. ”
Jia Siming chuckled, "My sins." "The birth of the little princess obviously disrupted the whole plan.
Cole also smiled, "This afternoon, we have spent a lot of effort to avoid you, re-plan, and re-prepare. Luckily, we finally succeeded. "Successfully deceived Lu Li.
"yes, yes, your sense of smell is too sensitive!"
"When I was hiding in the warehouse with Cole, you suddenly broke in, and I was almost scared to pee!"
"Cole was like a secret agent, sneaking me out, and I thought something was going on. ”
……
Everyone giggled and talked about their experiences, even Adam and Scarlett. After this afternoon, after this party, the two of them integrated into the group of Cloud Peak Ranch as never before, and for the first time, the two of them got a glimpse of the daily life of the ranch, and the busy work rhythm finally slowed down temporarily.
It's always a good time like this. Especially the surprise party, the two newborns who had just joined the ranch were not excluded, which really made both of them full of energy.
Lu Li was stunned in place, quietly looking at the group of people in front of him, enthusiastic and smiling, everyone was chattering and sharing this afternoon's "thrill and excitement", that cheerful and lively smile, in the faint halo of candlelight, burst out with a wonderful light, as if enough to illuminate the whole night-
It was Cole, and when Lu Li first arrived at the ranch, he gave him friendly guidance, took over the ranch without any obstacles, and became his best friend.
It was Lily, who enthusiastically introduced Lu Li to the social scene in New Bronfels Town, opening up the situation, and she took care of Lu Li in every way like a mother.
That's Liu Xiaoyan, who gave warm hospitality in a strange country, That's Chloe, a woman who heroically showed her cowboy style, and That's Tony, who bravely and fearlessly reopened the vineyard and worked together to establish Cloud Peak Ranch.
……
Every face was so familiar and so unfamiliar, and the stories in his mind came out one after another, and before he knew it, they formed his life and the Ranch on the Clouds. Now, like family and friends, they are preparing surprise parties, singing birthday songs and reminding him of the life he has forgotten......
He was so happy and so lucky. This gift from Liz became the starting point for him to build a new life and the beginning of a new journey in his life. He felt the warmth of Liz like never before. It was the last way a mother remembered her son.
"Hey, Fourteen, you can't be crying, are you?" Randy shouted blindly, his eyes all focused on Lu Li in an instant.
The slightly reddened eyes, as well as the slightly reddened tip of the nose, with a shallow smile at the corner of the mouth, but it couldn't hide the thin layer of mist under the eyes, and it looked really embarrassing.
Lu Li didn't raise his hand to wipe his eyes, but calmly met everyone's eyes, spread his hands, and said in a thick nasal voice, "That's what you want to see, isn't it? Why else would you want to surprise the party, and spend so much effort to avoid me? A surprise surprise at the last moment." ”
A faint warmth swells in the chest, which is the meaning of life and the meaning of life. People are always looking for it, they are confused, and someone can't find it all his life, but he is lucky. This land, everything here, finally let him find it.
The self-deprecating ridicule made everyone laugh, and Cole was the first to whistle, and then whistles, cheers, and shouts rang out in unison, and the surprise party officially turned into a birthday party, which was extremely joyful, "Blow out the candles, blow out the candles!" Everyone began to applaud and shout.
Lu Li lifted the dumplings in his hand and said with a smile, "At least, allow me to put down the main course?"
At this time, everyone saw Lu Li's funny appearance, holding a pot of dumplings in both hands, facing the cake, but with a faint tear in his eyes, coupled with the self-deprecating expression, in an instant, everyone collectively laughed. This is definitely the most special birthday party ever.
Randy stepped up with a lunge and reached out to receive it. Lu Li didn't say anything, just handed it over, and then Randy began to scream, "Hot, hot!" The funny jumping appearance made everyone laugh, and Lu Li quickly grabbed the earlobe with his fingertips to quickly cool down.
But Lu Li didn't immediately stand in front of the cake, but stretched out his right hand towards Jia Siming, motioning for her to join in.
Jia Siming didn't know why, he was still holding the little princess in his arms, and shook his head gently, "This is your moment." ”
Lu Li laughed, "Today is also her birthday." Her arrival was not an accident, but a blessing. Even if it was an accident, it was the most beautiful accident of my life. ”
