Song Lingyi pulled the square scarf around her neck, then turned to look at Lu Li, "How is it?

Lu Li looked at it seriously, then gave Song Lingyi a thumbs up, turned back to Ke and shouted, "Look, does my mother feel a little cowboy like this?"

At this time, Song Lingyi wore a dark blue plaid scarf, and her off-white cowboy hat was slightly pressed down, she proudly puffed up her chest, and the smile on her face was less shy and restrained, but added a little boldness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cole also gave a thumbs up and nodded vigorously, "You look like Fourteen's sister now." ”

This compliment made Song Lingyi shy, covered her mouth and laughed, "Cole, I thought that Texas men would not lie." Even if it's a sweet lie, Song Lingyi is still very useful.

Cole had a serious look on his face, "It's true that Texas men don't lie. ”

This made Song Lingyi smile even brighter, turned her head to look at Lu Huaijin who was standing next to her, and proudly showed off, "How is it?

Lu Huaijin also showed a shallow smile in his eyes, nodded, and replied briefly but firmly, "Hmm." ”

This made the smile in Song Lingyi's eyes bloom, she looked at Lu Huaijin, and then walked in front of him, standing on tiptoe, "Why don't you tie the bow tie well." While babbling on, he untied the red checkered scarf around Lu Huaijin's neck and tied it again.

Lu Huaijin still didn't seem to be very used to red, and whispered, "Why don't we two change the color?" but Song Lingyi shook her head firmly, "You look good in this color, spirit!"

Cole, Tony, and Lu Li were standing next to them, and Tony held his forehead with a sad face, "Oh my God, should singles avoid it?"

Lu Li had a strange expression on his face, every time he looked at the two old men in the family showing affection, he felt that he had been hurt by 100,000 points, but this dog food, if he didn't want to eat it, he had to swallow it.

Ke Er chuckled, "This is really enviable, are they free to love and get married?" Lu Li chatted with Ke Er before, and mentioned that thirty or forty years ago, many marriages in China were still decided by their parents, especially in rural areas, and the atmosphere of free love was not strong.

"Hmm. Lu Li nodded, in fact, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi rarely mentioned the past, but he heard his aunt talk about a lot of interesting things, "Actually, my grandfather didn't agree to this marriage at the beginning, because my father is a poor scholar, you know, parents always hope that their children can live well." ”

More than 20 years ago, Lu Huaijin was a middle school teacher, and he was young at the time, less than 30 years old, and it was extremely difficult to promote his title, and his salary was very shallow. Although teaching was a respected profession, especially at that time, it was extremely difficult to live a life of poverty, not to mention being rich and rich, and even a slightly more relaxed life, and if you got married, it was likely to be a hard life for a lifetime.

Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin are in free love, before Lu Huaijin, Song Lingyi actually went on a blind date twice, and the other party was very satisfied with Song Lingyi, but Song Lingyi didn't like it, and finally fell in love with Lu Huaijin. I heard that at the beginning, it was Song Lingyi who took the initiative and kept hinting at Lu Huaijin, but Lu Huaijin was like a wood and did not understand, and insisted for more than half a year, when Song Lingyi was about to give up, Lu Huaijin reacted and took the initiative to launch a pursuit offensive.

Lu Li's grandfather resolutely opposed this marriage at the beginning, and later it was Lu Li's grandmother who made the decision. Lu Li's grandmother likes Lu Huaijin very much, she thinks that culture is more important than economic conditions, maybe Lu Huaijin has only been a middle school teacher all his life, but at least his talents, his knowledge, and his upbringing are trustworthy, not to mention, they are free to fall in love and get married, and Song Lingyi will live happily.

"My grandmother was actually very worried at the beginning, and she went to talk to my mother. You know, she said, this is just a poor middle school teacher who has nothing, and maybe even every meal is vegetarian. When you get married, your family can give you very little help, and you have to support the whole family alone, and even last most of your life. It's not something that can be done on impulse. ”

In a few simple words, Cole can hear the difficulty, in fact, even the current Texas has to face such a problem. The real rich areas of the United States are the two sides of the strait, and the economic situation in the central region is far from being developed, and they also have to face huge living pressures, and before getting married, the economic situation is also one of the criteria that must be referred to.

"And how did your mother answer?" Cole asked curiously.

The corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, "My mother said that she married Lu Huaijin, not his conditions." She believed in Lu Huaijin. ”

It's not an easy decision for anyone. Song Lingyi's determination, courage and wisdom are eye-catching. "Your mother was a great woman. Cole sighed softly.

Lu Li nodded in agreement, "My grandmother too." After her grandmother determined Song Lingyi's intentions, she persuaded her grandfather to agree to this marriage, and then she had Lu Li.

From Song Lingyi, you can see the brilliance of Lu Li's grandmother, which is really incredible for a woman who lives in the countryside and grew up with traditional education. Lu Li actually admires her grandmother very much, although she has no culture and can't even recognize all the words, but her vision, her heart, and her wisdom are impressive. Looking at the ring on his little finger again, Lu Li felt that the mysterious aura shrouded his grandmother seemed to be getting more and more.

"What are you doing standing here, let's move on!" Song Lingyi's voice interrupted the exchange between Lu Li, Cole, and Tony, and Tony immediately started joking, "Ms. L, we are just discussing, we should probably find a companion to play with." ”

This vague ridicule made Song Lingyi stunned, she didn't hear it, but Lu Huaijin reacted, put his arm around Song Lingyi's shoulder, and directly ignored Tony, "Let's go." Then he walked forward with Song Lingyi.

Tony looked stunned, "Did Mr. L dislike me just now?" Fourteen, is Mr. L disliking me?" The depressed expression made both Lu Li and Cole laugh.

After taking a few steps forward, Alice, Fred and the others appeared in sight, and the three groups of people smoothly merged and walked towards the sandy land in the center. But Song Lingyi's footsteps always couldn't help but stop.

"What do you think this burrito tastes like? Is it too spicy? I want to try that potato chip-like cookie, is there any of it?"

"Sushi is said here, Japanese sushi or what is sushi? Why does it look different, I think it looks delicious. ”

"Why is this teppanyaki beef so thick? Is it the same as what you eat in a Western restaurant? Or is it more like a Japanese teppanyaki? Can I try five ripe?"

"This is a fridge magnet? A fridge magnet for a cowboy to ride a horse? Can I buy a few to give back to someone? This is the gift for your Aunt Fangfang, fourteen, what do you think?"

"Roasted corn! There is actually roasted corn in Texas! Is this Mexican food, or is it Chinese/Chinese food? The corn we ate at the ranch last time was so sweet, how does the corn taste here?"

"Wow, is that the horse used for tonight's race?"

……

Eating and playing all the way, the bustling crowd scattered the large army of Yunding Ranch, Lu Li always guarded his parents' side, compared to his own play, this time Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin were the focus, only Ke Er stayed alone, and everyone else was scattered.

They walked all the way around the sand, the crowd became more and more turbulent, and the heat wave was no less than that of the Universal Carnival, and before they knew it, they had come to the competition area, and the horses, cows, and sheep for tonight's race had entered the fence. Even Lu Li is an eye-opener.

Compared to the animals on the pasture, the horses and cattle here are both larger and have different muscle structures, and the breed of sheep is also different, with huge horns that look more like rams, and the muscular lines of the body are hidden under the thick wool, but they are still not to be underestimated.

"These are all for competitions, professionally cultivated and screened. "You see, these horses have to be carefully selected, even from the time they are raised. Moreover, these horses have different uses, some can be used as obstacle horses, some are used to play polo, you see, the horses there are the horses that are going to race. ”

I followed Cole's line of sight, and then I saw a large group of heroic cowgirls, wearing jeans, the upper body of the denim shirt with the hem and open buttons, boldly revealing the bras full of patterns inside, the wild hair was carefully groomed, and the vigorous and heroic posture formed a beautiful landscape, so that all the passers-by couldn't help but cast their eyes.

"Hey, Chloe!" Song Lingyi's eyes were sharp, and she saw Chloe in the crowd at a glance, she was wearing a dark blue denim outfit today, with a sequined blue bra inside, wheat-colored skin and glowing lips, shining in the sun, as if the whole person had become strange and shiny, even in a group of cowgirls, it still made people unable to take their eyes off.

Chloe heard the call, turned her head, her hair was thrown up like a waterfall, and her gestures flashed with dazzling light, and then she saw Lu Li and his party, showing a bright smile, waving her arms high, "Hey, you're here!" She trotted over with brisk steps, the wind caressed, the tips of her hair fluttered, and the tassels on her jeans began to flutter, and then she enthusiastically opened her arms to greet her, and gave Song Lingyi a warm hug to meet her, and said happily, "Welcome to the Rodeo Conference!" ”
