Chapter 507: Just Like That
*5,500 words, this chapter tonight, get some food, I haven't eaten dinner yet.
The barbecue grill was moved out and placed on the right side of the lawn, close to the small garden, which would not be an eyesore, and some distance from the main house, just so that the men could drink beer and get together to chat, after all, barbecue is generally a man's job.
Women, on the other hand, can laugh and talk in the main house or under the porch, showing their great cooking skills, without worrying about the smoke of the barbecue, which will have even a little adverse effect on the delicate skin!
Then, Qin Yi paced slowly in front of the house, personally felt the experience brought by the layout of the tables and chairs on the lawn, walked a few laps and stood still with his legs crossed, touched his chin, snapped his fingers, turned around and walked briskly towards the warehouse.
"What is he doing, looking for inspiration?" Amanda raised an eyebrow, curiously asked the ladies about it, and then shrugged her shoulders slightly ostentatiously: "Well, I do that sometimes, when styling people!" ”
"Yes, yes! God knows, Amanda also has bursts of inspiration from time to time, but usually the shapes designed at this time are very strange! ”
Sara grinned and dismantled her sister's stage, which made Amanda a little angry and threatened to hit her, but she giggled and ran away.
Susa and Chloe shook their heads amusedly, not saying anything, but in their hearts they agreed with Sara that Amanda always had a lot of strange ideas, the kind that put them into practice
But whether it was inspired as she said is completely unknown!
Even everyone is jokingly complaining in their hearts: Will a rough nervous girl like Amanda also be inspired?
God knows!
At this time, Qin Yi came out with a long table, three or five meters long, solid wood, which looked very weighty, but when he slipped it in one hand, it looked light. It showed extraordinary strength.
The temperature during the day is still a little high, so at this moment, Qin Yi is only wearing a white tight vest on his upper body, and he has been busy all afternoon, and he has already been wet with sweat, so he sticks to his body, unabashedly showing off his beautiful muscles, and even the angular six-pack abs are unobstructed, and the eyes of the ladies are fluttering.
"Hah, I have to say. This guy's muscles are so shapely! Chloe smacked his lips and admired it generously, this belonged to her, and naturally there was nothing to hide, "I like it!" ”
"Who doesn't love that!" Sousa pinched Chlo's cheek and replied amusefully, then clapped her hands and beckoned everyone to get back to work.
"All right, girls. Now is not the time to look at the muscular man, let alone discuss whether that guy's muscles are stylish or not, we have to work, do you want to be ridiculed by that guy? I can't finish it! Oh my. It's terrible to think about! ”
"Hurry up, ladies! I'm going to have a big meal later, I don't want to even wash the dishes by then! Chloe came to his senses and went with Susa to the kitchen.
Ladies don't want to behave too much. After all, no matter how stylish that muscle is, it also belongs to Susa and Colo!
At this time, the kitchen was empty, and Qin's mother, who was the most professional. I also took the two girls upstairs to take a bath, and when the two girls were driving an oxcart with Christine and Emma, they accidentally broke the watermelon, making a watermelon water, and they all became little flower cats!
And the ladies who walked to the kitchen, they could vaguely hear the childish but cheerful singing, this is the girls singing bath songs again, everyone will smile, and the cute smiling faces of the girls sitting in the bath playing with little dolphins and little yellow ducks come to mind
Qin Yi rearranged the round table, and then placed the long table at the door of the main house, which could be used to place all kinds of pastries at night, so that the venue was almost arranged, if you hung balloons and lanterns.
But these are relatively simple, and he has to ask the opinions of the girls and ladies, so he is not in a hurry to meet at this time.
Soon, the girls came out of the shower, changed into a beautiful little princess dress, bouncing, the lawn was lively again, Qin Yi called everyone out, combined with everyone's opinions, and finally got the venue right.
Prepare the ingredients and make the pastries
It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunset turned half the sky red, reflecting everyone's smiling faces in orange, and it was at this time that the first wave of guests finally came to the door.
It was Julie and his wife, who had been living on their own ranch during this time, but the children only came to the 8-year-old twin siblings, Knox and Vivian, and the rest were all in Los Angeles, so they didn't have time to come.
However, the arrival of the little brother and sister still made Angel and Betsy happy, the four little ones got together, and the sound of frolicking spread throughout the living area, and the festive atmosphere suddenly became very strong.
At the behest of the little ones, Qin Yi turned on the lanterns in advance, but it was not dark yet, and the colors were insufficient, but the flashes still made everyone smile more unconsciously.
It's just that the delicate Susa found that behind the smiles of Julie and Pete, there seems to be an inexplicable sadness!
Susa couldn't make up her mind, so she quietly told Qin Yi about her slight discovery.
"Did they quarrel?"
Susa asked, showing some curiosity, which made Qin Yi can't help but shake his head: It seems that no matter how steady and demure a woman is, she always has a gossipy heart!
However, he secretly observed and found that there was some awkwardness between Julie and Pete, and the intimacy shown in front of them was also a little excessive, as if they were acting to hide something.
When laughing and talking with Koloe, Julie, who has always been talkative, was a little silent and absent-minded at this time, which is not like her usual style!
What made him even more sure that the two quarreled was that in a few moments of turning, Julie's smile always became reluctant, and she couldn't help but show some sadness.
He touched his nose, but he couldn't make up his mind, because interfering in other people's lives is not a smart approach, if they don't talk about it, everyone is really not careful.
It's just that Julie is a very good friend of their family, so they don't care about anything, and they can't seem to say anything, so they have to tell Susa: "Don't worry about it today, I'll invite Pete to go fishing when I go back, and you and Chloe will talk to Julie alone." Get a good grasp of the balance and don't make everyone feel embarrassed! ”
"Don't worry, we women deal with this. It's so much better than you men! Susa gave him a blank look, indeed just like she said, in terms of specific implementation, Qin Yike is a layman to guide an insider!
Qin Yi laughed and didn't argue with her, but when she was unprepared, he grabbed her pretty face and kissed her fiercely, and then fled satisfied, leaving Susa softly and coquettishly.
The two hid to the side and conspired, and everyone found out. I just didn't know what I was discussing, Kolo didn't have any scruples, Qin Yi ran to entertain the guests, and she came to Susa's side.
Kolo came to ask, Susa naturally wouldn't hide it, anyway, although she has a lively temperament, she also knows how to be measured, and her mouth is strict, and she won't talk nonsense everywhere. So I told Chloe about the topic just now
Qin Yi couldn't control how the sisters planned, because as time passed, friends arrived one after another. He's going to be busy greeting.
Qin Yi's generals, Ryan, Susie and Hobbs, although they are busy, today is a special day. So I came back earlier.
Then came the old couple Walker and Viviera, and the Jones family and the Marcus family made an appointment and arrived at the same time. Angel's friends. They all came with their respective parents, and the whole lawn was completely lively!
Not long after, the elder Edward, whom he had met when he bought piglets at Edward's farm, also brought his grandson Pino and granddaughter Elba over.
These two little guys who are about ten years old have not been to the ranch to play these days, and they are already very familiar with Angel, so as old Edward greeted Qin Yi, they integrated into the children's team, eating pastries, playing games, and playing wildly everywhere!
These cheerful smiling faces make the adults who drink beer and brag laugh even louder!
Before the start of the party, Qin Yi introduced the origin and customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone, but he did not say anything more, and briefly summarized it, announcing the beginning of eating and drinking.
The barbecue work was originally given to Ryan and Hobbs, who belonged to the lineage and were really their own people, like Marcus and Jones, who were also guests, and it was always bad to keep the guests too busy.
However, today is a family banquet, so everyone seems very casual, and many of the barbecues are hands-on, so the atmosphere is more leisurely.
Barbecue, Chinese food, pastries, beer, pizza and cakes brought by everyone, all kinds of delicacies tempt adults and children!
Everyone regarded this party as a rare holiday, chatting while eating, children running around, and men chatting about fishing, sports, etc., mainly to show off their glory, such as catching a big fish more than a meter long
Of course, this is all bragging, but everyone has a lot of fun!
Women mainly talk about gossip, family, children, cooking, cosmetics, etc., and they also take out their men to complain and ridicule, and even share their sexual experiences without being shy
After hearing a few words, Qin Yi was frightened by the arrogant housewives and quickly ran away, causing the women to laugh for a while!
This made Qin Yi a little worried, Susa and Kolo, as hostesses, were surrounded by everyone at this time, so don't follow everyone to learn badly
Mother Qin was not with these housewives, but chatted speculatively with Susie and Viviera, the older ladies, who were in the kitchen, showing their skills and chatting about some experiences when they were young.
Because of the different cultures, they are all very curious about their experiences.
Of course, there are more surprises!
Or because of culture, some Chinese normalities are more strange in the United States, and vice versa, so they inevitably communicate with each other curiously, while shaking their heads to express their amazement and incomprehension.
But that doesn't stop them from having a good time.
Qin Yi interspersed with the crowd, trying to chat with everyone a few words, everyone was in a pile, sometimes a simple greeting such as "enjoy your night", "how about a toast", etc., even if he greeted several guests, so he didn't feel like wasting time.
During this period, it was indispensable to talk about the auction of cattle breeds, like Walker and Marcus, who were relatively close, so they had no scruples and persuaded him a little bit, but seeing that he was confident, he didn't say much, just when he had his own plan.
Anyway, he never makes a loss-making business, and everyone doesn't have much to worry about.
The main thing to talk about is the tourism conference, mainly to imagine what kind of development opportunities this event will bring to Augusta, and talk about this. Everyone is in high spirits, after all, the town is prosperous, and everyone can earn more dollars!
The night has completely fallen, the colorful lights decorate the whole lawn in colorful colors, enjoy the bright moon in the sky, enjoy the cool night breeze, everyone keeps pouring delicious beer into their stomachs, very leisurely.
A bonfire was raised on the purpose-built patio and soothing music was played, with some cheerful cowboys and girls. danced cheerfully, mostly cowboy dances, but there were also some old men and old women, holding hands shoulder to shoulder, and twisting slowly.
Kolo was full of interest and pulled Qin Yi to dance two dances, and then he was still unsatisfied.
So Qin Yi, who felt that he couldn't favor one over the other, pulled Susa to dance again, and the result was out of control. was dragged away by Sara, who couldn't help herself under the romantic night, and danced a song one by one, but she was tired and half dead!
Of course, it's psychological exertion. For a rough person like Qin Yi, dancing is really a tiring job, and it is not as meaningful as chopping wood, after all, firewood can still be placed in the fireplace to heat up
But see Susa and Colo. And his friends were so happy, Qin Da quickly changed his mind: Since everyone likes it, it doesn't hurt to dance. The right to cultivate sentiments!
I just don't know what sentiments this lazy guy can cultivate
Fortunately, the friends also have a sense of proportion, each danced a dance, and let Qin Yi be free, after all, Susa and Kolo are still watching from the sidelines, especially Kolo, who has a thief-like look, not to mention Ricky and Sarah, even the thick-skinned Amanda is embarrassed to occupy him for even a second!
However, there are so many beautiful women invited to dance, and the onlookers are envious, which makes Qin Yi quite complacent: You are better at fishing, better at balling, and better at hunting than me, but we are much more handsome than you, look, so popular with girls!
If the ladies knew about this cheeky thought, they wouldn't mind punching him in the eye socket: handsome? I really don't see it, at most it's not ugly!
But who made Qin Yi have space, surrounded by aura, so that he has a good affinity, coupled with a sexy muscle, it still makes him full of unique charm.
Not to mention these, Qin Yi, who was freed, had just poured a glass of beer, but saw Julie coming over again
"Hey, Yi, let's dance with my sister too!"
Although she was laughing, it gave people a sad mood, Qin Yi didn't know what was going on, let alone how to comfort her, maybe it was a good choice to dance quietly with her.
Julie poured a lot of beer tonight, and when she smiled with her sexy big mouth, she spewed out bursts of alcohol, which made Qin Yi a little helpless, is this beautiful lady planning to use wine to kill her sorrows?
Qin Yi took her hand and swayed her on the lawn at will, there were no standardized dance steps, but who cares, just be happy!
"You know what?" Changing from the sexy charm of the past, Julie smiled quietly and gently.
"I've got something bad going to me tonight! I'm sure you can see that acting doesn't play much of a role in this, but it's okay, with you, with Susa and Colo! I can tell from the look in your eyes that you're worried about me, but don't worry, I'll take care of it! ”
After saying this, Julie seemed to be a little more relaxed, but she didn't mean to talk in detail.
"Julie"
Qin Yi glanced at Pete, who was drinking a little farther away, considered his tone and words, hesitated, still didn't ask more, just shook her palm, "We are all your friends!" I mean, we're here if there's a need! ”
Julie smiled and nodded, although her eyes were still sad, but at least, the shadow of some strong women had returned, which was a lot more reassuring
The night was generally happy, except for the Julie couple who were a little worried.
Qin Yi could guess that there might be a problem with the relationship between the two, but there was no way but to watch the development of the situation.
It's just that poor Julie, who waited for ten years to achieve a positive result, and now she is facing such a test, is Hollywood's marriage so difficult to look forward to?
At nine o'clock, the guests who had eaten and drunk enough and had a pleasant evening were also leaving.
When they left, Sousa and Collo prepared a small gift for each guest, a pastry or trinket, which was not worth much, but just a heart.
After the guests left, the ranch, which had been lively all night, became quiet again, and under the bright moonlight, with a little ethereal mood, the family began to clean up the slightly messy grounds.
Ryan and Susie naturally stayed to help, Walker and Viviera were not in a hurry to leave, Hobbs went back first, because of the relationship between the Chinese tourists, there was also a celebration on the farm, and it was a sleepless event, and he had to go back to watch the point, so as not to have any accidents.
Angel and Betsy played crazy for a day, and they had already fallen asleep, but the girls who had not received the gifts were naturally unwilling to fall asleep like this, so they kept holding on, making Qin's mother feel distressed, and urged Qin Yi to quickly send gifts and let the girls go to sleep!
So, Qin Yi didn't delay any longer and took out the gifts that had already been prepared.
The two girls have beautiful clothes and toys, and they also like this one the most.
Mother Qin is a pair of jade bracelets, the emerald green and fluorescent bracelet is worn on the wrist, restrained and luxurious, coupled with the praise of the women, it makes Mother Qin smile!
Susa and Kolo are a complete set of jewelry, and the big gems, still red and blue, look dazzling, which makes the two girls full of happiness and the envy of others.
But this is not enviable, but the gift Qin Yi prepared for them is also satisfactory - a pair of peach wood bracelets for each person, which has a good calming effect and makes everyone very satisfied.
Of course, I feel satisfied, because such a gift is what they asked for
The gifts of Ryan and others, Qin Yi did not prepare them in particular, the same bracelet, although there is a suspicion of gold balm, but the peach wood beads produced in space and rich in aura have a really good effect, and everyone is smiling, as if they have a baby!
Qin Yi also received a lot of gifts, mostly ties, golf clubs and the like from ladies, the ties are not bad, the clubs are blind, Qin Yi doesn't know how to play golf, and he is not interested, but there are two pairs of fishing rods that are good, and he can go fishing in the Great Lakes region when he turns around!
However, Angel and Betsy received the most gifts, and the ladies each prepared two copies, which together could drown the girls
With so many gifts, the effect is also very good, successfully eliminating the drowsiness of the girls, sitting on the grass with a smile and opening the gifts, and the cheerful little appearance makes everyone constantly funny.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the Walkers took another cup of coffee, and then took their leave, but left Becky behind, because the little girl who had a good time was not happy to go, and pitifully expressed that she wanted to sleep with Sister Angel
The two girls often sleep together, and the adults can help them!
After returning to the bedroom and taking a shower, the young couple inevitably rolled the sheets, and after some exercise, when they were lying on the bed and chatting, they remembered Julie again, and Sousa and Kolo sighed at the vagaries of their feelings, and their mood was a little low.
Qin Yi had to hold on for a while to comfort them, which made them fall asleep happily
The bright night, quietly, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, or just like that. (To be continued.) )
