172 Welcome home
I don't know if I don't know, and I'm shocked when I understand. The price of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info professional outdoor products is far beyond imagination, of course, this is also understandable, after all, outdoor sports need professional equipment, any little negligence will be closely related to life, absolutely not sloppy, the price is naturally rising.
From tents to backpacks, from water bottles to Swiss army knives, from flashlights to moisture-proof mats, from jackets to trekking poles...... Under the introduction of the clerk, Lu Li bought a lot of things on the ground, and the rear body was already filled with all kinds of flowers, which could not be put down at all, so they could only be thrown into the rear seat.
At this moment, the advantages of pickup trucks are finally revealed: they can be loaded! It's like a behemoth!
After leaving the outdoor goods store, Lu Li, under the guidance of the clerk, found a nearby supermarket, and completed a large purchase with Song Lingyi, and then he moved towards the direction of Yunding Ranch, the whole car was almost crowded, and Lu Li could even feel the wail of the wheels moaning.
Before she arrived at New Bronfels, Song Lingyi fell asleep groggily, she had been tired all day today, and obviously, she needed a little rest. So, Lu Li slowed down the car slightly, so that the car became more stable, and steadily moved in the direction of his home, and finally arrived at the ranch nearly half an hour later than expected.
By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the whole sky was glowing with a magnificent blue-purple.
Rubbing his slightly tired eyes, he could see a dim light in the distance between the vast forests, grasslands and mountains, the hazy aperture of light supported the whole world, as if the lighthouse seen on the boundless coast, guiding the way home, as if the fatigue in the body was unconsciously relieved, and the joy and happiness of returning home gently jumped on the tip of the tongue.
Closer, closer, faintly, Lu Li could see the light bulb above the porch, the wattage was not high, and occasionally it was not very bright, flickering and dimming, almost drowning under the milky yellow halo of the main house, not to mention, the sky was not completely dark at this time, and the shimmering sky was even more distracted. However, Lu Li still saw the light bulb at a glance, because Lu Huaijin was standing under the faint light.
With his hands behind his back, he slowly paced back and forth in the porch, unable to see his expression in the distance, or even unable to see the lines of his figure clearly, but the constant pace back and forth had already revealed his inner anxiety and worry.
Behind Lu Huaijin, there were no lights in the main house, but the sheepfold, cattle pen and stables behind could see the lights on, even if the line of sight was blocked, no one could be seen, only the sound of sheep and cattle chirping could be faintly heard, which set off the tranquility of the pasture more and more; Passing through the beech forest, two small figures could be seen busy on the other side of the valley, presumably Randy and Tony, who were also putting the finishing touches on this time; The hustle and bustle on the villa site had stopped, and the construction team had gone home, and the sound of hammers and saws was missing in the air, as if all the noise had settled down one after another.
Even if there is no smoke, even if there is no warm welcome, it is such an ordinary picture, but the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth can't help but rise, and a faint warmth flows in his heart. Although Lu Li strongly doubted, Lu Huaijin was waiting for Song Lingyi, not him. When I think about this, my smile is even brighter.
The so-called harbor of home does not lie in the luxury of the house and the vastness of the land, but in the people who sit in the house and wait for themselves.
Lu Huaijin heard the sound of wheels running over the stones, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Li's iconic bird of prey, standing in front of the staircase of the porch, with his hands behind his back, looking at the car quietly, but without saying much, just waiting quietly.
The car turned into the ranch and stopped at the door of the main house. Lu Li could see Lu Huaijin standing at the top of the stairs, he turned around and patted Song Lingyi on the shoulder, "Mom, I'm home." ”
Song Lingyi rubbed her eyes and couldn't help stretching, "Mom, if you feel tired, go back upstairs and sleep first, and I'll call you when we have dinner." "The amount of exercise today is still very large, not to mention Song Lingyi, even Lu Li himself feels tired.
"No, you don't." Song Lingyi waved her hand nonchalantly, "Close your eyes and rest for a while, that's enough." She unbuckled her seat belt, turned her head and saw Lu Huaijin standing at the door, and couldn't help but smile on her face, joking, "Your dad should be hungry." I said I would make you something to eat tonight, and I haven't forgotten it! ”
Song Lingyi opened the car door and walked down, and then saw Lu Huaijin coming up and waiting for her at the gate of the garden. Compared with Westerners, they are still too reserved, they don't even hug, they just stand quietly and look at each other, there are still three or four steps between them, but the soft breath surging between each other has a refreshing and gentle taste.
Song Lingyi waved her hand at Lu Huaijin and shouted, "What about the other boys?" Let them come out to help, the car is almost clogged up. ”
Lu Huaijin's gaze fell on Song Lingyi, following him like a shadow, "You fell asleep in the car just now?" Are you tired? Would you like to go upstairs and rest? ”
"It's okay, it's just a little sleepy." Song Lingyi opened the door of the rear seat and replied with a smile, "What about you, are you okay this afternoon?" You didn't go for a walk in the vineyards other than reading? ”
"It's fine." Lu Huaijin's answer was concise and to the point, then he stepped forward, took the supermarket bag in Song Lingyi's hand, turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li didn't hold back after all, "Dad, are you sure you don't want to say hello to your son?" I'm also tired today. ”
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Lu Huaijin said without looking back, and strode back to the main house.
Lu Li only felt a tightness in his chest for a while, and then he saw Song Lingyi's bright smile, "What, you still seem to be coquettish to your father?" Lu Li shrugged helplessly, "I think even if I'm coquettish, he won't pay attention to it." When he's at home, he'll still care about me, but after coming here, won't he care too much? ”
"Haha, you need to care?" Cole's hearty laughter came, like a gust of wind, striding out of the main house, Lu Li directly raised his middle finger in response, causing Cole and Song Lingyi to laugh, "I think my dad may not have seen the large number of flowers behind him at all, and only my mother is alone in his eyes." ”
"Isn't that normal? He's your mother's husband. Cole shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "Ms. L, do you need to move these things in?" Or is there something that needs to be put in a warehouse? ”
Lu Li opened his mouth to say something, but there was a commotion in the main room, "Wow, wow." That's a lot of stuff! Great harvest! Randy's noisy voice crashed straight over, shattering the silence in the air, and the garden, which seemed quiet and peaceful a second before, instantly became lively, and then Tony and Jessica, everyone chattered and discussed, "What bought?" "Are you going camping?" That's great! "What is this, seed?" ……
The sound of chaotic chatter echoed in my ears, and the hustle and bustle felt like I was at a party.
The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but spill out lightly, Lu Li shook his head helplessly, and then opened the car door and walked down, and began to help everyone carry things in one by one.
Song Lingyi put the things bought at the flea market on the table in the living room, and shouted, "We bought some gadgets, I don't know what you like, you can see for yourself, and if you like it, you can pick it up." If not, then wait for today's dinner. ”
"What? You even bought us a gift? Randy shouted excitedly, celebrating like a child.
Teddy, who was standing next to him, also ran over to join in the fun, sniffing at a few packs of things on the coffee table, as if looking for his gifts; Even Jump Hop was unwilling to run down lonely, jumped on the sofa, raised his front paws, and looked at the chaos in front of him, full of curiosity and anticipation; Fortunately, the two little ones of Grape and Grapefruit seem to be still busy in the sheepfold, otherwise the house would be noisy at this time.
Song Lingyi touched Teddy's head, "None of these things are yours, or do you say, do you like collars?" I don't think you'll like it. He straightened up and looked left and right, "Cole, can you help?" ”
"No problem, please tell me something." Cole walked briskly to the back of the couch and gave a military salute, "Cole Grande is at your disposal. That playful remark is also rare, you can hear it, and Cole's mood is also flying tonight.
Song Lingyi took out the bag of wind chimes, "You and Fourteen take this string of wind chimes to the porch and find a place to hang it." Then Song Lingyi handed the wind chimes to Cole, "Randy, can you please hang this string on the balcony of my room?" ”
"It's my pleasure to serve a lady." Randy said with a grin, and Song Lingyi looked at the mess on the table, "Jessica, I'll get rid of you and tidy up these things, I'll go prepare dinner now." Tony, can you bring that bag of things from the supermarket with me? After assigning the task, Song Lingyi walked quickly to the kitchen, and Tony followed with a heavy bag in both hands.
Everyone in the room was mobilized.
Cole came to the outside of the house and saw Lu Li and Brandon who were unloading the car, and Brandon had obviously just finished working on the stables and walked around, "Fourteen, come and help hang the wind chimes, what did this string look like in the beginning?" ”
Lu Li put the camellia in his hand next to the garden, and when he turned his head, he saw Cole lifting the wind chimes high, penetrating the glass of the main house, and he could see the busy figures of everyone inside.
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly had an illusion, as if they were celebrating the Spring Festival in their hometown, Song Lingyi's voice echoed in his ears, "Lu Li, go and paste the Spring Festival couplets up......"
