Yunding Ranch

Chapter 121 Relax
After Lu Li arrived in Los Angeles, he went directly to the airport. This was his first time here. According to the landlord's text message instructions, he found a combination lock on the iron railing at the door. After opening the small box according to the combination, he found the key. to open the door.

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi went into the room first, and Lu Li moved the luggage in one after another, and asked loudly, "How is it? How does it feel? When I saw it online, the pictures looked pretty good."

The entrance is the stairs leading to the second floor, the hall, kitchen and dining room are on the left, and the study is on the right. There is also a guest toilet at the end of the corridor next to the stairs. The sunlight shines through the large windows facing the lawn in the front yard, reflecting the The whole house is bright and majestic, with green potted plants and a modern and simple design. The main colors of beige and gray are sometimes decorated with red and blue, which is generous and warm.

The second floor is where the bedrooms are located. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The log-colored staircase can vaguely glimpse the same decoration style upstairs. This is a typical American middle-class residence.

"It feels very similar to the style seen on TV, but it's more life-like." Song Lingyi's voice came from the kitchen, full of surprise and joy, "Are all these kitchen utensils usable?"

Sure enough, the first goal was to ask about family affairs. Lu Li laughed dumbly, "Yes, all of them can be used." Yang Sheng replied, "There is also a swimming pool and a small garden in the back yard."

"It's only May, and the water in the swimming pool is too cold." Song Lingyi complained, seemingly not interested in the swimming pool at all.

Turning his head, Lu Li saw Lu Huaijin who was pacing in the study, "Dad, why did you go to the study first?" Lu Li walked to the door and looked at Lu Huaijin who was full of interest.

"Occupational diseases." Lu Huaijin didn't mind at all, and carefully browsed the books on the bookshelf.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a good rest?" Lu Li said worriedly, "It's a long-distance flight, and there's still jet lag, so you can take a good rest at home today. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some food, and I'll cook. You and Mom Just relax—or take a shower first."

Lu Huaijin waved his hand, "I'm fine. I fell asleep all the way on the plane. In fact, I'm not very sleepy now, and I feel that my whole body is in good spirits." He pointed to the bookshelf enthusiastically, "There are all kinds of books here, popular Novels, classics, works of psychology, and even medicine. This master must be very knowledgeable."

"Why are you in the study again? Every time you see the study, you get excited." Song Lingyi's voice sounded behind Lu Li, and she also walked over, "How do you feel now? Didn't your feet swell a little on the plane? "

"It's okay." Lu Huaijin reluctantly left the bookshelf, "I want to go out for a stroll, what do you think?"

Lu Li was a little surprised, but before he could persuade him, Song Lingyi said, "If you're feeling well, I'd like to go out for a walk too. It just so happens that in a few hours, it's time to take your medicine. We'd better go out first." Have a meal."

In the western part of the United States, the time difference is relatively easy to adjust. Around [-] pm is dinner time, which happens to be lunch time in China.It's already early six o'clock now, if you take them out to sit outside, enjoy the breeze, and come back to rest after dinner, this is indeed a good arrangement.

"Is there any place you particularly want to go?" Lu Li nodded in agreement, and they drove out by themselves. If Lu Huaijin feels tired, just come back.

Lu Huaijin looked at Song Lingyi, "You decide."

Song Lingyi showed an eager look, and gave an answer that made Lu Li dumbfounded, "Avenue of Stars."

So, 10 minutes later, Lu Li brought Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin to the Avenue of Stars.

The so-called Avenue of Stars is no longer a simple road, but a well-shaped map composed of several streets, containing more than 700 stars, and it has become a world-famous Hollywood landmark. Visitors to Los Angeles will not miss this attraction.

Among them, the part located in the center of Hollywood Boulevard is the busiest and busiest area for tourists, because there are not only Chinese Theater and Dolby Theater here, one is the place where movie premieres are held, and the other is the fixed place where Oscars are held ; There are also landmarks such as the Captain's Theater and the Roosevelt Hotel that have accumulated many years of history.This also makes this part of the Walk of Fame highly visible, many of which are worn out.

It is very quick to get to the Avenue of Stars from the residence, but it is not an easy task to find a parking space nearby. After turning around several streets next door, I finally found a parking place in a shopping mall two streets away.The bustling and noisy city of Los Angeles was presented in front of Lu Li in an ingenious way.

"Oh, oh, this is Tom Hanks!" Song Lingyi looked at the stars under her feet and shouted happily. Obviously, the tedious search for a parking space just now did not affect their good mood.

At this time, the night had not yet fully fallen, and there were people coming and going on the street. Not far away, jugglers wearing Spiderman suits and Batman suits were taking pictures with passers-by; behind them were a few black people leaning on the corner, selling their own recorded CDs ; smiling young people gathered together in twos and threes, bending or squatting down, trying to capture the stars on the ground while taking selfies; tourists with cameras and backpacks were all over the place, occupying the entire street...

The hustle and bustle of the entire street seemed to gather the crowds of half the city, and the bustling noise was boiling under the dim lights in the evening.

Lu Huaijin followed Song Lingyi's side step by step, nodding her head lightly to express her sympathy.

In fact, Lu Li knew that Lu Huaijin probably didn't know any of these actors, but Lu Huaijin didn't say much, just followed by, responding to Song Lingyi's excitement.Finding stars that you are familiar with is the most interesting thing about the Avenue of Fame.

Lu Li followed behind his parents unhurriedly, looking at Song Lingyi who looked like a child, he couldn't help but smile.

"Ma'am, ma'am, do you want to take a photo together?" A man in an Iron Man costume came over and asked Song Lingyi courteously.

Although this was Lu Li's first visit to Los Angeles, he had heard a lot about the "scam" on the Avenue of Stars.

In fact, it is not appropriate to describe it as a scam. These street performers in costumes also use their own labor to earn remuneration. It is really not easy to stay on this street all day; however, they are indeed bullying , often bully tourists who are not proficient in language. For example, when tourists are taking selfies, they suddenly get into the camera. A street actor filmed, and several actors crowded in, and then everyone asked for ten dollars... As for bullying strangers, there are also situations where a lion asks for twenty or thirty dollars in one breath.

If the tourists refuse to pay, the street performers on this street are all sympathetic, and everyone will swarm up in one breath and ask for payment.Even tourists from other states in the United States come here, no exception.

Seeing that Iron Man approaching, Lu Li immediately went up to greet him, ready to stop him, but he didn't expect that Song Lingyi turned around and showed a bright smile, waved his hand to greet him, that bright expression He could clearly feel her happiness, which made Lu Li slow down a little.

Lu Huaijin took a stride, blocked between Song Lingyi and Iron Man, guarded his wife behind, and then asked directly in English, "Do you need any help?"

Iron Man took half a step back, expressing that he had no malice, opened his hands, and exaggeratedly said, "I am Iron Man, do you want to take a photo with me?"

Song Lingyi understood this sentence, and then muttered in Chinese, "I like Spider-Man better."

"Haha." Lu Li was caught off guard and immediately burst into laughter. He never knew that his mother had such a sense of humor, and he didn't even know that Song Lingyi knew about Iron Man and Spider-Man. There are many movies to watch.

"What?" Iron Man naturally didn't understand what Song Lingyi said, and asked with question marks all over his head.

Lu Huaijin said sternly, "I hope to take pictures with Spider-Man even more."

Iron Man's face was hidden behind the mask, but Lu Li could feel his bewildered expression at first, he simply covered his chest with his hands, looking injured, "I'm fine too, I'm an artist , All the armor is made by myself, which is much better than Spiderman's equipment."

"Hey, hey, are you talking about me?" Not far away, the big-bellied Spider-Man ran over. He didn't look light or young at all. His chubby figure was more like a fat Hulk. A red Spider-Man suit has been exposed, and a little white belly can be seen vaguely.

Needless to say, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he made Song Lingyi laugh happily, and even Lu Huaijin was full of smiles.

"Is someone calling me? I can take pictures anytime, anytime!" Spider-Man looked around and said proactively, "Ma'am? Are you calling me?"

Song Lingyi couldn't help nodding, "Yes, I want to take a photo with you." Then she looked around, "Lu Li, come quickly, come here, let's take a photo with this middle-aged and fat Spider-Man." It was spoken in Chinese, and the people around were confused, but both Lu Huaijin and Lu Li laughed.

Lu Li shrugged, even if these street performers can "cheat money", so what?Seeing Song Lingyi's bright smile, Lu Li felt that it was all worth it, so he strode forward, "Come on, let's take a selfie together!"

Song Lingyi took Lu Huaijin's arm, and Lu Li stood in front of the two of them, and then squatted down. Spiderman's height is limited, so he also squatted beside Lu Li, and Iron Man didn't give up, standing in front of Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi. Behind... Just before Lu Li pressed the shutter, why were there more figures behind him?
