Li Yitong felt embarrassed to be thrown to his grandmother's house, but because he was distracted, he tripped over a stone under his feet, causing the toolbox in his hand to scatter to the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, after experiencing the embarrassment and humiliation yesterday afternoon, Li Yitong has calmed down a lot now, although his cheeks are slightly hot, but that's all.

Bending down and quickly picking up all the scattered tools, Li Yitong straightened up again. He also thought that Lu Li would be watching him, but he didn't expect that Lu Li's eyes fell on Hulk and Teddy again, and the focused expression was with a faint smile, and the sun became gentle.

Li Yitong's day has passed for most of the day, and things are much more difficult than yesterday, every muscle in his body is still protesting loudly, but he has adapted to this intensity a little, and complains less than yesterday.

Early in the morning, when Brandon knocked on the door, he got up without much effort. I thought that I was so tired yesterday that the whole person almost fell apart, and I definitely couldn't get up today, but I didn't expect that he not only got up, but also recovered his energy well, which shows that after exhaustion, the quality of sleep last night was really good, and the whole person has always maintained a state of deep sleep, and he recovered in one night.

After that, he started his busy work. First, she helped Cole drive all the sheep out, and Jessica drove the herd to another meadow by herself; Then he went back to the sheepfold, picked up the work that had not been done yesterday, and patiently followed Cole to learn, the foreshadowing was indeed not as simple as it seemed, but it was not so difficult.

Immediately afterward, he followed Randy to the organic farm to harvest green manure, stirred the feed, and prepared it as an evening meal for the sheep; He was about to go to help Brandon clean the stables, and Brandon pulled all the horses out to let the wind out today, but before he could start, Brandon asked him to hand over the tools to the construction team, so he came over to run errands.

All morning, he had almost no time to rest, and the intensity of his work was even greater than yesterday, and he didn't even have time to communicate, so he was completely immersed in his work.

But, surprisingly, this kind of work made him feel more comfortable.

First, he doesn't need to communicate with others, which means that he doesn't need to please others, he doesn't need to worry about whether his Asian identity will be excluded and discriminated against by whites and blacks, he doesn't need to carefully prepare the topics of conversation and humorous digestion, he doesn't need to worry about whether his English accent will affect daily communication, and he doesn't need to worry about others sneering at "Chinese/Chinese people are like this" after work problems, and overturn the whole boat with a rod......

Second, the fatigue of the body occupied all the thoughts in the brain, and he had no time or strength to think nonsense, so he could only bury his head in hard work. He had to put all his energy into his work, keep his head down and keep learning, and make sure he didn't cause trouble. Interestingly, after working all morning, he forgot to smoke – you know, in Los Angeles, he smoked at least five cigarettes a morning.

Pure manual labor, pure dedication to work, in a trance, the estrangement between him and the others disappears, and they will have simple communication, but it is all about work, and only about work. This kind of straightforward and boring communication, before yesterday, he was afraid that he would be drowsy when he listened to it, but today, it made him feel a sense of security.

Looking at Lu Li in front of him, except for the unpleasant meeting yesterday, they had hardly had any communication, not even greetings, but now, Li Yitong magically felt that the distance between him and Lu Li had narrowed slightly.

In the process of work, they will always inadvertently mention Lu Li, "This is the result of Fourteen's last sheep shearing, and this sheep is still rejected by other compatriots", "Fourteen said, there is no need to rush, take your time, we have time", "Everyone suspected that Fourteen was a rich second generation, but the last time he was sprayed with milk, we knew that he was not", "There is no Fourteen for lunch today, and there is no Ms. L for Five, I suddenly feel uncomfortable, my God", " Last time, Fourteen said that he wanted to learn how to surf, but when I saw his horseback riding skills, I expressed concern......

The topic of Lu Li has always been endless, and Li Yitong can hear that they and Lu Li are friends, real friends. Although they are all employees of the ranch, they are also friends of Lu Li, and the sincere and simple friendship makes Li Yitong a little envious.

So, how did Lu Li do it?

What was his father's purpose in sending him to the ranch? Why did his mother insist that he stay on the ranch for a month? Is pasture the focus, or is it land-free? Why are Lu Li's parents so accustomed to life here, are they themselves a wealthy and wealthy family, and they have long adapted to foreign cultures?

Li Yitong's mind was full of question marks, wanting to know the answer, but he didn't know where to start.

"Horn", a dull horn sound came from the door, interrupting Li Yitong's thoughts, and also interrupting Lu Li's thoughts, Teddy and Hulk both stood up at the same time, looked in the direction of the source of the sound vigilantly, and then saw a yellow van.

The van was parked at the entrance, and it was really conspicuous. The big light bulb looks like the anthropomorphic eyes in "My Neighbor Totoro", the fresh lemon yellow looks like freshly baked butter bread, and every edge and corner is round and soft, as if there are no edges and corners at all.

Lu Li felt a little ridiculous, he was still making up the scene of the Disney animation in his mind just now, depicting the scene of Teddy and Hulk talking, and then the yellow van appeared in the next second, just like a fairy tale, wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence?

A man in a black tennis shirt and black trousers, poking his head out of the passenger seat, he looked about thirty years old, with short curly hair, a delicate watch on his left wrist, and a Wall Street elite air on his body, which really did not fit in with the bright yellow van.

"Excuse me, is this the Cloud Peak Ranch?" The man asked.

Lu Li took the initiative to greet him, "Yes." How can I help you? ”

The man looked left and right, because the villa at the entrance was still being built, so the surrounding circle looked very messy, the main house was very beautiful, especially the decorated garden, which was even more amazing, but the warehouse site that faintly entered the corner of the line of sight behind was still a mess.

This made the man's face show a look of disgust, looked back at the inside of the car, whispered a few words, and then saw two little girls, one big and one small, lying on the glass, looking around curiously.

The man turned his head again and said to Lu Li in a raised voice, "Is the master here now?" Although the question was asked in the polite language of "excuse me", his tone was unpleasant, the pride and criticality of giving orders, and inexplicably with a hint of provocation.

Lu Li glanced back at Li Yitong, just a glance, without any words, but Li Yitong's cheeks were slightly hot, avoiding his gaze.

"What, is there anything I can help with?" Lu Li still maintained his politeness and replied in a loud voice.

The man waved his hand impatiently, "You can't be the master of this matter, let the ranch owner come out and reply." ”

"You're talking to him right now." Lu Li replied directly without flinching.

The man's brow furrowed, "What's going on?" Is this an Asian-only ranch? His gaze swept back and forth between Lu Li and Li Yitong.

Lu Li didn't laugh angrily, "If you have an opinion about Asians, then I suggest that you better throw away the mobile phone in your hand as soon as possible." If I'm not mistaken, this should be made in China. ”

The words were neither humble nor arrogant, but with sharp counterattacks, and some black humor, which suddenly made the man a little embarrassed, "How do you speak." ”

"At least I'm talking about people." Lu Li only said half of the words, and it stopped abruptly, but left a large blank space for the man to fill in the blanks by himself, and this scene suddenly became embarrassing.

At this point, Brandon rode over and said impatiently, "Jack, why are you still here?" Hurry up and get the toolbox to the construction site. ”

Brandon is completely dressed as a cowboy, and it is also a typical Texan style, and as soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted everyone's target.

The man immediately raised his voice and said, "Hey, are you the owner of this ranch?" ”

Brandon frowned and pointed at Lu Li, "He's the master here." Then Brandon saw Lu Li spread his hands with an innocent expression, and then looked at the surprised appearance of the man opposite, Brandon said to Lu Li, "What's the matter with him?" Are you looking for trouble? ”

Lu Li shrugged, "I think, he thought I came to invade the Americas." ”

This is a satire on the race/racial discrimination of the Americans, who are originally outsiders, invade the lands of the Indians, and then drive the Indians to their own lands, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest. Now the Americans not only deny their own history of aggression, but also begin to discriminate against other alien populations, imbued with a sense of superiority that feels good about themselves.

As a journalist, Lu Li has always had stage fright for these battles of tongue. A simple sentence made the man's face change, and he opened his mouth to scold foul words, but Brandon kicked the horse's stomach and ran over quickly, "If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better get out now!" Race/ethnicity discriminators are not welcome at Cloud Peak Ranch! ”

Li Yitong, who was standing next to him, was completely dumbfounded at this time, he didn't expect Lu Li to fight back like this, nor did he expect Brandon to be on Lu Li's side.

The atmosphere was tense for a while, and then the door of the yellow van was pulled open, and a blonde lady in a long lake blue dress poked her head out, with a beige wide-brimmed straw hat on top of her head, she pressed the straw hat with her left hand, and walked down, showing a big smile, "Sorry, Jamie is just tired and doesn't speak a little politely." We're here for a vacation, and we also have guests, right? ”
