238 Wanton childhood
"Other activities, what activities?" Carmen immediately looked up, looking at Ambo with a curious expression, the light in her eyes flashing with antiquity and excitement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The curvature of the corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but rise. The wanton and restless nature of the child is really special, with an impulse to break all the restraints around him desperately.
In New York, everyone is always trying to become mature, because the development of society is too rapid and too cruel, not to mention children, even adults, any slightest negligence, can be eliminated by society, so they have to fight, fight hard, peel off all the unrealistic fantasies in themselves, and then polish all the edges and corners, into the appearance they once hated. This is true even for children.
In the pasture, Lu Li was able to calm down, carefully appreciating the little ignorant, impulsive, and frizzy childhood, as if all the restraints had disappeared overnight, and the free air instantly swarmed into his chest, blowing his lungs out.
Look at Alison paddling quietly on the lake, look at Ambo smiling with her lips pursed, look at Carmen who can't resist her curiosity, and of course look at the sunny Taylor.
Lu Li suddenly understood why the family lived in New York, but the children were able to maintain that innocence and simplicity, and why Jamie was an arrogant racist, but the children were able to maintain the innocence and romance in their hearts. Not just because of Lake Michigan, not just because of Cloud Ranch, but also because of the Alison who enjoyed her moment of peace.
Perhaps, this is the reason why they made a special trip to Cloud Top Ranch for a vacation.
Carmen was still standing in the lake, but her movements had stopped, her eyes twinkling wide, and she looked at Ambo earnestly.
Amber looked left and right, then looked at Lu Li for help, and said in a loud voice, "Sir, there should be many activities on the ranch, right? Is there anything suitable for children to participate in? For example, mini golf?"
Mr. Lu Li felt that there were three black lines on his forehead, although Anbo looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, according to her age, there was nothing wrong with her calling Lu Li "sir", and she also showed enough politeness;
"Forget about miniature golf, you've played it many times in Michigan. However, how about shotgun shooting? Do you want to try it?" Lu Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he said mischievously, and sure enough, he saw Amber's stunned face.
This is the United States, not the United Kingdom, and they are not like those traditional aristocrats, who had the habit of going out hunting when they were young, and even if they were nobles, children under the age of ten should not touch hunting rifles...... Amber felt that she was a little overwhelmed.
Seeing Amboon's panicked expression, Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment, and then realized that he was actually scheming with a little pot friend, which seemed to be a bit of a victory. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Carmen's excited expression, and now it was Lu Li's turn to be depressed - if Carmen really asked to play shooting, then what would he do?
"Phew", the neighing of the horses came from behind, from far and near, Carmen's attention shifted instantly, which made Lu Li secretly relieved, fortunately, before things got worse, the savior came. Then Lu Li saw Amboon's mischievous eyes, flickering slightly.
It seems that this little girl is not as quiet and virtuous as she seems on the surface.
However, before Lu Li could continue to explore, Brandon had already come to Lu Li's side on horseback, and one turned over and walked down, looking at Ambo and Carmen, "I just came over to ask, are you interested in the foal?" I just received the latest news, there is a mare in production now, it is estimated that it will take thirty minutes to an hour before the foal can be successfully produced, if you want to see, now is a good opportunity." ”
It can be felt that Brandon slowed down his voice slightly, and seemed to add some gentleness than usual, which reminded Lu Li of Brandon's wife Jia Siming, who was also about to become a father.
"Our ranch?" Lu Li was a little surprised, he remembered that there were cows in the ranch that were pregnant, but he had not heard that the horses were pregnant.
Brandon shook his head, "No, from the Marshall Valley Ranch next door." Robert was busy for more than two hours, and just now Chloe called me and asked if I was free to go over and help. After speaking, Brandon looked at Lu Li intently, as if to say: When will our ranch be mated/breeded?
Lu Li chuckled, patted Brandon on the shoulder, and then turned his head to look at Carmen and Ambo, but before he could ask, Carmen said excitedly, "Can I go? Can I?"
Amber said helplessly, "If you get all your clothes wet, you won't work." ”
Carmen immediately put her hands firmly on her sides, pouted, and looked "I'm very well-behaved", but her eyes were still shining, and she looked at Amber with a pleasing look that was really undeniable.
Although Ambo is older than Carmen, she is actually still a child, and the excitement in her eyes has betrayed her true thoughts, but she still resists her excitement and says, "This needs to be asked ...... mother"
Before he could finish speaking, Carmen turned around and shouted, "Mom, can Ambo and I go and go and give birth to the foals?" ”
Lu Li opened his mouth, wanting to argue: When did he agree? But when the words came to his mouth, he still stopped, because he was really a little curious. It's been a few months since I came to the ranch, and I haven't witnessed the process of adding Ding. I don't know if it's going to be bloody.
Alison sat up straight and looked over, "Fourteen, it won't disturb your work, will it?"
Lu Li raised his right hand, waved it, and said with a smile, "My honor." ”
Alison nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'm sorry for you." Ambo, stay safe, if there's anything, just listen to Fourteen's arrangement, you know?" Then Alison looked at Lu Li again, "Thank you." ”
"Look at the foals, foals, foals!" Carmen finally ran out of the lake, but the red sneakers had turned into two small boats, and her jeans were wet and sticking to her calves, looking rather embarrassed, but she didn't feel it at all, just smiled, and seemed quite satisfied with her state.
Amber walked forward quickly, wrapped Carmen in a bath towel, and a breeze blew, and Carmen shivered, "You must change your wet clothes first, otherwise you won't be able to see the foal." Amber said categorically.
"But......" Carmen tried to plead, but Ambo shook her head firmly, "No, but." But Carmen was still unwilling and looked at Lu Li, "Then will we miss it?"
Lu Li replied with a smile, "If you continue to delay here, you will." ”
Carmen immediately became active, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's hurry up and change out of wet clothes!" As she spoke, she pulled Amber in the direction of the main house, and the two of them ran up with a click, and Amber didn't forget to turn his head and wave his hand to Lu Li to express his gratitude.
Seeing the backs of the two little guys, Lu Li said to Brandon at this time, and said uncertainly, "The production process shouldn't be over so soon, right?"
Brandon couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, it's not that fast, three hours is basic." ”
The two men walked in the direction of the main house, where Brandon waited for the two little ones, while Lu Li went to the stable to bring the chestnuts out. From here, the Marshall Valley Ranch is not far away, and it is more convenient to ride a horse than to drive. While this may sound fanciful, especially in a big city like New York, this is Texas, and Lu Li is used to it.
Taylor was in the bullpen, communicating with Jessica with great interest, and Li Yitong could be vaguely seen busy. Lu Li nodded and said hello to them, and then he took the chestnut directly, and on the way to the main house, he could catch a glimpse of Jamie walking in the beech forest, his figure walking between the faintly falling trees, but his expression could not be seen clearly.
Back at the door of the main house, after only a few minutes of waiting, you could hear Carmen's excited voice and cheerful steps, "Hurry, hurry, Ambo, hurry!"
Running to the door, Carmen saw two men on horseback, and then Amber also walked out. Amber looked at Lu Li, and before he could speak, Carmen raised his voice and said, "Fourteen, I want to be with you!"
"Of course there is no problem. Lu Li dismounted, helped Carmen to sit on the horse, and then turned over on the horse. It can be seen from Carmen's sitting posture that Lu Li's guess is correct, and they are indeed no strangers to horseback riding.
Immediately afterward, Ambo also sat in front of Brandon, and the two of them rode their horses and galloped towards the Marshall Valley Ranch.
Carmen's mood became joyful, and she began to sing loudly, "A little, two small, three little Indians......" The childish voice sang nursery rhymes, and the cheerful singing voice drifted in the wind, like a gust of spring/wind, and the corners that blew were dyed with a layer of tender green, and the changes in the whole world made people feel brighter.
Lu Li couldn't help but hum along with Carmen, "Four small, five small, six small Indians......" This harmony made Carmen more and more happy, and the bright laughter was mixed with the song in bits and pieces, fluttering together.
The Marshall Valley Ranch soon came into view, and with Brandon leading the way, they ran in the direction of the stables, and then saw Chloe walk out with a big smile on her face, "Hey guys, I heard the nightingale singing all the way away, now let me see, we have a new guest arriving today." ”
"Chloe, this is Carmen, this is Ambo, Ambo, Carmen, this is Chloe. Lu Li sat on horseback and made an introduction directly.
Carmen looked at Chloe, looked up at Lu Li again, looked back and forth again, and said without warning, "Fourteen, is she your girlfriend?"
