Leonardo rushed over in a hurry, put it directly on Hugo's shoulder, and looked at the chicken wings on the table, "Is this already pickled?" It's ready to be taken out, right? ”

"Yes, yes, you can take it out." Jennifer hurriedly spoke, and then began to clean up the trivial things on the table, intending to let Leonardo take them out together.

Leonardo raised his voice and yelled outside, "The wings are ready!" Then a crowd of people rushed in, and Sandra Bullock actually ran in the front, as if the eldest sister was the eldest sister, and the group of younger brothers behind him were making a lot of noise.

Hugo looked at Sandra in complete amazement, but Sandra didn't have time to pay attention to Hugo at all, just laughed and shouted, "Hugo get out of the way!" ”

Hugo, who was already slow to react because of tiredness, was even more shocked by Sandra at this time, and did not react for a while, and then Leonardo hooked Hugo's shoulders and dodged back. I saw Sandra be the first to rush over, and then hugged Jennifer tightly from behind, protecting the chicken wings with his own hands, followed by Toby, Pedro, Alfonso, and Alex all had a sense of urgency.

Tobey Maguire? Hugo's surprise was not that Toby appeared here, but that Toby was not shy!

Then I watched Sandra hold a pot of chicken wings and ran out as soon as she slipped away, Pedro also grabbed another pot of chicken wings and followed, Toby fell behind, grabbed nothing, and simply took a knife and followed out. Hugo was dumbfounded.

Jennifer and Cameron couldn't help but laugh in place, Cameron looked at the table and found that they had forgotten the barbecue sauce, "Hey, didn't you just say that the barbecue sauce is not enough?" Cameron picked up the barbecue sauce and followed, and Jennifer also said hello to Hugo and followed.

Leonardo saw Hugo's shocked expression, but he clapped his hands and laughed, "Is it that after not coming back for a while, you find that many things are different?" ”

Hugo frowned slightly, and said with a stern expression, "During the time I was not at home, how many times have you opened a party in my house?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Leonardo just laughed, but did not answer, and only after laughing did he say, "Since it is a pie, let's enjoy it." When he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed a little bit of tiredness between Hugo's eyebrows, very subtle, but with an indelible fatigue, Leonardo couldn't help but move in his heart, and said with a little worry, "You just came back from a long trip today, do you feel tired?" If that's the case, go to the second floor to rest, your room has good soundproofing, and we can't make noise to you. ”

Hugo looked at Leonardo and shook his head, smiled and said, "If I'm not here, you won't overturn the whole house." ”

Leonardo, however, noticed that Hugo did not answer his question directly, stopped completely, and turned to look at Hugo worriedly. Although he didn't speak, he seemed to be trying to find clues in Hugo's expression, which made the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth gently release, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." Hurry up, or the chicken wings will be gone, and as far as I know, there is probably no stock in the refrigerator. ”

"Oh God!" Leonardo hugged his head with both hands and wailed in annoyance, then he punched Hugo in the chest and patted Hugo on the shoulder hard, "Wait until I grab two pairs of chicken wings for you!" Then he turned around and shouted, "Leave the wings behind!" "Just running towards the barbecue outside.

But at this time, the barbecue grill was already surrounded by a group, Leonardo stood on the periphery and was blocked, and then he watched him squeeze left and right, and squeezed in through the cracks, causing everyone to complain, and Hugo laughed when he saw this scene.

Hugo took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and joined in the joy of pie.

The party that welcomed Hugo's return finally tossed until the sun went down, and Steven, David and other "old bones" went back first, leaving a group of young people to continue the party, Hugo finally did not last until midnight, and was tired at eleven o'clock, and fell asleep on the sofa in the game room. Hugo naturally didn't know when this group of people had been partying.

When he woke up in the morning, Hugo was lying on the bed in his bedroom, Cameron was beside him, Hugo sat up, looked at the alarm clock, it was already more than nine o'clock, he slept very deeply, and he didn't even feel a little turmoil, and he didn't have any impression of who carried him to the second floor.

It's just that he slept for a long time, which made Hugo's head dizzy, and he sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and when his head was not so dizzy, he looked back at Cameron. At this time, Cameron was still sleeping sweetly, as if she felt Hugo's movement, she turned over once, hugged the pillow, adjusted her sleeping position, and then quietly fell into a deep sleep.

Hugo waited for a while, and found that Cameron was indeed not awake, so he slowly stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the whole person was much more sober.

In the past two months, Hugo has not been in great shape. Although it is said that during the filming of "Death Row Walk", he has already completed the adjustment and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the performance of the role; But Hugo's current control is still not enough, and the heaviness and darkness after entering the role are still haunting Hugo, even after the movie is completed, he has never been able to fully recover his previous state, and the whole person is not quite right, not only the quality of sleep is not good, but also often has nightmares.

That's why Hugo went back to Lanchez and lived a completely comfortable life for a while.

At Lanchez, Hugo and Adam get along very awkwardly, Adam hardly knows how to face Hugo, he can't sit or stand, and Adam can't smoke in front of Hugo, he seems to be in a state of anxiety all the time. Hugo wanted to communicate with Adam, but he didn't know how hard he should try, and his son and father always seemed to get along with each other a little more awkwardly, and every time he tried to talk, it would end up in silence. Except when watching sports.

But fortunately, the Taylor family's storage zài is a good bridge, and the two Lancaster fathers and sons often eat at Taylor's house, and with old Jack as a lubricant, they get along very happily.

Hugo's previous proposal was really taken care of by Adam, who walked around Cheyenne twice, discussed it with Old Jack a few times, and finally bought a ranch less than two miles from Lanches.

This 15,000-acre ranch used to be a professional cattle and sheep ranch, but because the area is too large, it is very difficult to manage, the previous rancher hired four staff to assist in the management, but the expenditure of labor costs and management fees is quite beyond the means. Ranches are the same as luxury goods such as villas, yachts, and luxury cars, and it is not difficult to buy, but the difficulty is the subsequent operation, management and maintenance, and in many cases, the later costs are not inferior to the purchase price.

After the previous economic crisis, the former rancher had been trying to make a move, but could not find a suitable buyer. Now the pasture can be sold below 10,000 acres, and the large pastures are hot potatoes, and few people are willing to take over.

In the end, Adam won it at a very low price of $400,000, and it also included the supporting equipment and professional equipment in the ranch, but the cattle and sheep owned by the previous rancher were not included.

When Hugo finished filming Lanchez on "Death Row Walk", Adam and Old Jack were busy planning the ranch. Since only a small part of the previous ranch had electrical and water pipes, and the houses inside were too old, they needed to be completely renovated.

Adam planned to divide the ranch into several different uses, raising cattle and sheep, raising horses, and opening a fish pond, which required the laying of electrical circuits and water pipes throughout the ranch, as well as the introduction of some advanced professional equipment, and the renovation project was really not small. In addition, Adam plans to build a two-story villa on the ranch, which can be used occasionally for horseback riding, hunting, or vacation.

During Hugo's stay at Lanches, he went to the ranch with Adam and Old Jack almost every once in a while, which cost a lot of money. Before Hugo returned to Los Angeles, 120,000 US dollars had been invested in the renovation of the ranch, and the villa had not yet been built, and most importantly, the horses, cattle and sheep had not been purchased, and professional managers had been hired, which was a huge expense.

But this is not a problem for Hugo, the most important thing is that Adam likes it. Watching Adam and Old Jack excitedly plan all aspects of the ranch, the joy and excitement cannot be hidden.

Hugo suddenly realized that in fact, Adam also had a dream, but he chose the latter between his dream and his family, he gave up his dream of owning a ranch, gave up his dream of becoming a competitive cowboy, and chose to stick to a narrow convenience store in Lanches, guarding this small family.

Everyone has the right to choose, but after making a choice, they need to be responsible for their choice, otherwise it is themselves who will betray.

Lena chose to chase her dream, but gave up on her so-called dream less than eighteen months later. What a great dream and what a wordless joke. What Hugo can't forgive is not Lena's abandonment of himself, but Lena's hurt of Adam. It turns out that Adam's persistence and hard work, Adam's renunciation and sacrifice, Adam's hard work and tolerance are so insignificant in Lena's world.

This made Hugo full of enthusiasm again, and now it is his turn to protect his father, and it is his turn to realize his father's dream and protect his father's happiness.

During this period of Lanches's life, it was simple and casual, quiet and peaceful, which allowed Hugo to enjoy the peace that he had not seen for a long time, and his mood gradually calmed down. The pressure on his shoulders and the darkness in his heart dissipated little by little in the bright sunshine of Rantchez and the gradual rejuvenation of Adam's face.

The calmness and comfort before the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins" finally came back after a long absence, and Hugo finally found his own rhythm again.
