251 Holidays end
After all, he didn't eat hot pot that night, Lu Li personally cooked, made a table of dishes, and fulfilled his duties as the host. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
In the end, Jamie unbuckled his belt, his round belly almost exploded, and then he lay contented in the rocking chair on the porch, the look of enjoyment fell into Carmen's eyes, and the childish voice excitedly shouted, "Panda, panda." The shouts were cheerful in the night of the pasture.
Although they missed the hot pot, the Williams family still enjoyed their vacation.
For the next few days, he would follow Randy to the organic farm and collect vegetables, ride around the ranch and enjoy the mountains and forests, go boating on the lake, sunbathe on the lake and flip through a paper book, and sometimes go to the next ranch to take care of the two foals delivered by Carmen and Ambo......
Sometimes she learns gardening with Song Lingyi in the garden, sometimes she smears salt water on cheese with Lu Huaijin, sometimes she helps out in the cowpen and sheepfold and shares the work of the cowboys, and sometimes she sits on a swing under the oak tree and enjoys an afternoon of happiness, and coffee and dessert are the icing on the cake......
This vacation is a little different, not the kind of vacation that lies on the beach and relaxes completely, on the contrary, it is still a vacation of sweating, hard work, and exhaustion, but this kind of vacation is much more wonderful and exciting than the lazy and relaxing vacation of Lake Michigan.
Seven days, for the first time, Jamie really felt that seven days of vacation was too short.
One night before the end of the holiday, dinner at the ranch was hot pot, and Jamie looked like a child with excitement.
The next day, the Williams family reluctantly packed their bags and prepared to go back to New York, "Carmen, hurry up and get in the car, we're already late for departure." Alison shouted.
Carmen hugged Teddy tightly, her head just against Teddy, her hands rubbing Teddy's golden retriever vigorously, "I'll come back to see you later, and ice cream and cookies." The two little ones, now able to run, are starting to be naughty, but they are still very weak, and I will definitely come back to see them later. You've got to be obedient, okay? And Hulk, Bucky, you too, don't fight, you know?"
Teddy just sat there obediently, blinking his eyes, motionless, and let Carmen hold him tightly.
"Where's Hop Hop, and Hop Hop?" Carmen stood up and looked left and right, Bucky was lazily lying on the porch floor, Hulk wagging his tail and going around Bucky, but he couldn't see Hop Hop, "That little guy, I guess he ran into the woods again." Bucky, you remember to tell Hop Hop that I'll come back to see him. β
"Carmen!" Allison's voice called again.
Carmen quickly stood up, "Come on, come on." She hugged Teddy again, and then trotted all the way to the car, but then she ran down again, ran towards Lu Li who was standing next to her, and gave Lu Li a big hug.
"Fourteen, thank you for all this time as my boyfriend. I'm leaving today, and if you want to confess to Chloe, then you've got my permission now. β
Carmen's appearance as a little adult made Lu Li laugh dumbly, and then he watched Carmen pull Lu Li's sleeve, Lu Li bent down and looked at Carmen with a smile, and then heard Carmen say in his ear, "I think, there must be many people who like her, if you confess, you have to do it as soon as possible." After speaking, Carmen winked at Lu Li, then turned around, quickly got into the car, and shouted, "Fourteen, goodbye!"
Alison also waved her hand at Lu Li, showed a bright smile, and said with her lips, "Thank you." β
A thousand words can't compare to the weight of this one, this is the first guest to receive at the ranch, the unplanned guests, and at the same time the special guests to remember, whether it's Jamie, Alison, or three children, it's all new, strange, and fresh experiences.
After a short period of conflict and running-in, the ranch finally sent off the first batch of guests without the villa being repaired. A "thank you" is the best affirmation.
Lu Li stood in the doorway, watching the Williams family drift away, the rear of the car disappearing into the rising smoke and dust, and finally completely invisible, and then turned back to the ranch and began their daily life again.
The pasture is calm again.
The passage of time is always so clear and blurry in the pasture, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and the day of Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin's return to China has also arrived.
"I sent the noisy family away, and now you are going back, and the ranch will be very quiet, uncomfortably quiet. Cole said with a sigh of reluctance and regret.
"Don't talk about you, we probably won't be able to adapt to it. Lu Huaijin's tone was also a little heavy, and he raised his head to look at the house where he had lived for more than three months, everything was already so familiar, as if he had just adapted to it, but he was about to leave. He breathed softly, "Actually, the ranch has always been very quiet, and everyone is usually busy with themselves, and it is not noisy all the time, I think, after a while, I will get used to it again." β
"But after all, it's different. As soon as Randy said this, Song Lingyi, who was standing next to him, began to wipe his tears, which made Randy also teary-eyed, walked forward quickly, and gave Song Lingyi a big hug, "I'll miss you, when I go back, if you have time, remember to video with us." β
Lu Li, who was standing next to him, felt a little funny and a little sentimental, and said jokingly, "Hey, I'm the real son, okay?"
As a result, everyone laughed, and Jessica wiped the corners of her eyes in embarrassment, "It's just that, people who don't know still think you're the son." β
Randy choked up, "...... But...... Next...... I can't eat Ms. L's craft anymore...... Wow......" finally cried out with a "wow", which made Song Lingyi laugh, and the sad atmosphere of parting was immediately diluted, but Randy cried more and more sadly, "Even Fourteen is leaving, let's ...... We...... Next...... What to do......"
Randy was like an abandoned child, crying so much that he couldn't stop.
It is not only Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin who will leave, but also Lu Li, Tony and Brandon.
It had been planned for Tony to go to Burgundy to see for himself the Pinot Noir cultivation techniques, while Brandon would go to several famous horse farms to source breeders/horses. The plan was pushed back again and again, and the following months of August, September and October were extremely busy, and there was always no time to find it. Therefore, Lu Li made a decision and simply left together this time.
Lu Li would put his parents on the plane first, and then the three of them would go to London.
Jessica patted Randy on the shoulder, "Alright, alright, if you keep crying like this, they're going to delay the plane." β
Cole also couldn't help laughing, "If you really can't bear it, then you can send them to Austin Airport." Avoiding the fatigue of traveling, the group flew directly to Los Angeles, which was relatively fast, and Cole escorted them to the airport today.
Randy shook his head, "I hate parting at the airport." β
"Don't make it so sad, maybe, they will come over again for Christmas?" Lu Li said comfortingly, if nothing else, Lu Li's grandfather and grandmother, as well as Song Kongming's family, will come over in November or December, and the current itinerary and lineup have not yet been determined, Lu Huaijin and his wife, as experienced people, are responsible for leading the group and coming together, it is not impossible, and the specific situation will be discussed at that time.
Brushing Lala, everyone suddenly looked at Lu Li, and the eyes full of expectation were really stressful. Lu Li shrugged, "Even if it's not Christmas, it can be something else. Now the transportation is so convenient, it takes 11 hours to reach Los Angeles, and the round-trip ticket is not expensive. If you want, I can take you back to your hometown for the New Year. β
At this time, everyone's atmosphere became lively, chattering and discussing interesting things about the Chinese New Year.
Cole glared at Lu Li speechlessly for a whileβthe conversation began, and it was endless, "Okay, okay, we'll talk later." If we don't leave now, we're really going to be late. Let's go, let's go!" Cole walked out first, beckoning the army to hurry up and follow.
Looking at everyone hugging each other, Li Yitong stood next to him like an outsider, a little envious. At this moment, Song Lingyi came over and opened his arms, which made Li Yitong overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged Song Lingyi, and the concerned voice came from his ears, "If you have something, call Lu Li, he will definitely help; β
Li Yitong couldn't help but laugh and nodded again and again.
"Mom, hurry up, everyone is already in the car. Lu Li's voice came over, Song Lingyi followed quickly, Li Yitong's footsteps fell behind, and they walked out together, standing at the gate of the garden to watch everyone.
Suddenly, Li Yitong felt someone coming behind him, and turned his head to find that it was Lu Huaijin.
Lu Huaijin looked at Li Yitong, paused for a moment, and seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up, just patted Li Yitong on the shoulder, and then got into the car.
In the two weeks of getting along, he and Lu Huaijin have hardly talked alone, and the embarrassing memories when they met for the first time are the most of the two of them get along, but now, Lu Huaijin's simple comfort is so sincere, so heavy, and so warm.
Li Yitong couldn't help but have a sour nose, and inexplicably thought of his father.
After everyone got into the car, Cole didn't drag any mud and water, just started the engine and drove away. Li Yitong couldn't help but take a step forward, watching the car disappear at the end of his vision, and Jessica's voice came from his ears, "Get ready to get started." β
"Work now?" Randy's voice of protest came.
"What, you're still going to cry on the sofa like a little girl?"
"But at least it shouldn't be overdone. β
Listening to the battle between the two people, the smile on the corner of Li Yitong's mouth couldn't help but rise.
