Yunding Ranch

Chapter 125 Playing All the Way

After going back that night, Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin took a hot bath, and then began to have a good rest.

I thought the time difference would not have much effect, but the next day, the two of them slept until noon, and then woke up slowly. It can be seen that after crossing the entire Pacific Ocean, the effect of day and night reversal still exists; not to mention, I didn't sleep well on the plane before, but I finally got a good night's sleep after landing.

Lu Li didn't wake up the two elders. He went to the supermarket to buy some simple ingredients and started cooking porridge when he came back.One is that it is not suitable to eat too greasy food due to the time difference adjustment; the other is that according to the domestic time difference, it is now considered dinner—or supper; of course, the kitchen utensils here are not complete enough, and the limited dishes that can be made are also one of the important reasons. What's more, this is someone else's house, and it's not good to use a lot of oil fume.

After Song Lingyi got up, she saw a plate of cold cucumbers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of fried pork slices with broccoli and carrots, and a plate of... pickled mustard, and she couldn't help smiling, "Ready So rich! Let me see the skills you have cultivated in the past few years abroad."

Every year when I go back for the winter vacation, my family feel sorry for him for his long journey and never let him do housework.This is the first time he cooks for his parents.

"I thought I'd made it for you guys before." Lu Li looked puzzled, took out the porridge and brought it to the dining table, "If I had known this was the first time, I would have shown my skills."

"What's a big show?" Lu Huaijin also went downstairs at this time, Song Lingyi pointed to the dishes on the table, "This is your son's masterpiece, how about it, are you ready to taste it?"

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi sat down and began to eat. Neither of them said much, but the plate soon bottomed out. Lu Huaijin added porridge twice, and Song Lingyi added once.That's the best kind of compliment.

"It seems that you have learned more than you imagined after four years of exercising outside." Lu Huaijin made a final comment, which made Lu Li smile, "Then be mentally prepared, there will be more surprises after arriving at the ranch Surprises are waiting." Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi couldn't help but smile at their son's embarrassing appearance.

After lunch, they did not go for a stroll to the scenic spots, but took a walk at the nearby University of California, Los Angeles.Lu Huaijin always had a special affection for the school. Instead of walking around, the three of them sat next to the playground and chatted with the local students who hadn't had their holidays for a long time.

Lu Huaijin obviously liked this afternoon very much, especially since Lu Li could act as an interpreter, building a bridge between him and the local students, constantly exchanging ideas about learning, culture, concepts, etc., which sparked a lot of sparks. Not to mention that Lu Li himself is a college student who has not yet graduated, and he can also express his own opinions, which makes Lu Huaijin completely excited.

The afternoon passed lazily, and at night he was still cooking at home. Lu Li bought a bunch of seafood. Due to the lack of seasoning, he just boiled them and sprinkled some salt, but the taste was very good.Song Lingyi began to watch local programs in the United States with great interest, while Lu Huaijin went to the study to explore again.

In the next few days, their lives maintained this unhurried rhythm, and they wandered around the city of Los Angeles. They went to some famous attractions, such as the Griffith Observatory, such as the Getty Center for the Arts, Take Venice Beach, for example.After staying in this city for five days, they slowly left the City of Angels and set off for Yunding Ranch.

They first went to Las Vegas and stayed there for one night.The casino city with every inch of land and every inch of gold is a holy place in many people's minds, but Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi don't like it, it's too noisy, and it's too noisy; so the next day, they went to the Grand Canyon National Park. It is not yet the peak tourist season, but the weather has begun to be a little hot, and it is really suitable to visit the national park.

The next stop was Phoenix, and then Yosemite National Park... They just stopped and stopped all the way. The original journey was only two days, but it took more than a week. When they entered Texas, the distance between the annual There is one more day left in the Cowboy Convention.

"The scenery here looks a little different." Song Lingyi looked at the wide pasture outside the window, and said briskly, "But I still like the place before, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and any place is full of scenery."

"A beautiful resort?" Lu Li looked at Song Lingyi through the rearview mirror and said, "It is the most beautiful national park in the United States. I remember reading a report before, and it seemed to be voted by all the tourists."

"I'll vote for it too." Song Lingyi nodded repeatedly, "What about you?"

The second half of the sentence was for Lu Huaijin, who also nodded, "I agree too."

This made Lu Li smile, because he knew that Lu Huaijin actually preferred Los Angeles, not because of the big cities, but because of UCLA.Lu Huaijin was always worried about not going to the library that day, and Lu Li promised him that he would visit with him when he went back.

"I heard before, isn't Yellowstone National Park the most famous in the United States?" Song Lingyi asked curiously.

"Yes, fame is the biggest. If you want to go, we can rest and adjust for a while, and then we can drive there. It's not far from here." Lu Li could clearly feel the lightness and joy in Song Lingyi's words.

During this trip, Song Lingyi had a smile on her lips all the time, and the clearness of her brows clearly revealed the relief in her heart; not only that, even Lu Huaijin felt relaxed, and the high sky and the vast nature can always make people re-examine For myself, even for a nerd like Lu Huaijin.

"Dad, Mom, look, that's the Chinese restaurant I mentioned to you before." Lu Li slowed down the car and pointed to the Chinese Dragon Restaurant not far away.

Song Lingyi patted Lu Li on the shoulder, "Lu Li, stop, stop. We've already passed by, of course we have to go over and say hello."

"Don't you guys want to go back and have a rest first? It's the same when you come over to say hello next time." Lu Li turned his car to the side of the road and asked.

"That would be too rude." Song Lingyi unbuckled his seat belt, "Lu Li, go to the rear of the truck. That black box contains a set of big red packaging boxes. Take it out."

"Isn't that a gift for me?" Lu Li's eyes fell on Lu Huaijin, and he nodded in agreement. Obviously everything was subject to Song Lingyi's decision.

Hearing her son's words, Song Lingyi couldn't help laughing, "Are you still thinking about asking for a gift? It's not your birthday, and it's not a special holiday, why do you want a gift?" Song Lingyi's words made Lu Li secretly touch his nose, and he also felt that he was a nurse. Sorry.

Lu Li opened the car door, walked around to the rear of the car, and opened the trunk. At a glance, he saw the huge red packing box, which was really not small in size, taking up one-third of the entire trunk.

"Lu Li, why are you here?" A voice called from the door, before Lu Li looked up, he stopped Song Lingyi and said, "Good afternoon, are you Master Li? I'm Lu Li's mother Song Lingyi, this is Lu Li's father Lu Huaijin .”

"Ah, are you coming to Dezhou?" It was Li Huainan who spoke just now, and he laughed heartily, "I heard from Lu Li before that you are coming, and he has been very happy for a long time. Finally, he is looking forward to your coming. Xiao Yan! Xiaoyan! Lu Li is here, and his parents are here too!" Li Huainan shouted into the dining room, and turned his head to greet Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, but then found that he was still holding a garbage bag in his hand, "Sorry, sorry, lunch time just ended and cleaning is in progress."

"It's okay, it's okay, we were the ones who were rude." Song Lingyi waved her hands repeatedly.

Lu Huaijin stepped forward directly, "Let me help."

"No, just two steps." Li Huainan quickly walked to the alley next to him and put down the garbage bag. At this moment, Liu Xiaoyan also came out. Before he arrived, the voice rang out, "Lu Li is coming." !" That clear and clear voice was naturally filled with enthusiasm, "Is this Brother Lu? And sister-in-law? I'm Liu Xiaoyan."

The four of them stood there and greeted each other politely. Lu Li stood beside him holding the gift box for a while, listening to their courtesies, finally couldn't help it, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Li, Aunt Liu, if you continue to be polite like this, I will lose feeling in my hands."

All four of them looked at Lu Li in unison, and couldn't help but chuckled. Lu Li raised the gift in his hand, "Uncle Li, Aunt Liu, this is a gift from my parents from China, I thought it was It was given to me, but..." Lu Li shrugged speechlessly, "Don't be polite to me, go ahead."

Liu Xiaoyan still wanted to be polite, but Li Huainan was very straightforward, "Thank you for your hard work, and I made a special trip from China to carry it. Why don't you come to the restaurant today and we will be the host and cook you an authentic hometown meal? Clean up the dust for you ?”

"Forget it today, just remember this meal. Come back another day." Lu Li replied on behalf of his parents, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

Before Li Huainan could react, Liu Xiaoyan was quick-eyed, and said quickly, "No problem, of course it's okay. My kid will be back from vacation next month, and when the time comes, bring him to your ranch as a guest. He showed how much fun it is to live here."

"Uncle Li, Aunt Liu, then we won't go in for tea today, and hurry back to settle down. Come over and chat slowly some other day." Lu Li said neatly, but Song Lingyi felt embarrassed and exchanged pleasantries again, and then Back in the car again. "It's less than 10 minutes' drive from here to the ranch, and we'll be there soon."

The car started up again, and the scenery outside the window gradually became familiar. Lu Li introduced, "Dad, Mom, look, that's Yunding Ranch, my ranch."

Looking at the past along the line of sight, an endless green is spread out in front of the eyes, and the mountains in the distance are looming in the layers of clouds and mist. Occasionally, groups of sheep can be seen falling on the ground, meandering and flowing. The stream reflects the sun, sparkling like a paradise.
