Yunding Ranch

Chapter 126 Surprise Party
Lu Li skillfully parked the car at the gate of the ranch. There was a truck parked at the gate. There was a large amount of unloaded wood behind it, blocking the way. "The villa next to it is under construction, and it may not be unloaded in time." Lu Li looked at it. , and said to the back seat, "Let's get out of the car first, I'll let the construction team drive the truck away, and then go in and park it."

After the engine was turned off, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi got out of the car, and their eyes narrowed from the vastness at the far end to the picture frame in front of them. The two-story house on the left seemed to be old, and the smoked yellow walls were full of years. The traces of the weather and the track of the wind and frost, the creaking and shaking old chair with a vertical grain cushion, the green succulents on the window sill have obviously been carefully taken care of, and some moss that has not been cleaned can be seen in the gutters of the eaves... Every corner is filled with a strong breath of life, and a touch of warmth is naturally revealed, making the footsteps stop involuntarily.

The two-storey villa on the right is completely brand new, and the air still smells of new paint. The bright yellow wooden boards seem to have never been stained with dust. The brooms, wood chips and construction tools scattered on the porch have not been cleaned up. The breeze As the wind blows past, the newly installed windows are shaking gently, and you can vaguely see the furniture in the living room of the other party, which is still not arranged properly... Everything is brand new, but the simple and elegant design reveals a sense of simplicity, which is consistent with the The reinforced concrete of the city is completely different. Through the open windows, you can directly see the rolling hills and the sparkling lake in the distance.

"The space in the ranch is not enough, so it is being remodeled." Lu Li simply explained, "The one on the left is the main house. After leaving the ranch for a while, it feels like the place has been turned upside down, almost unrecognizable."

Taking a rough look, it seems that the work on the first villa has been basically completed, and I don't know how the decoration inside is done; tomorrow is the cowboy convention, and I don't know when Alice and her friends will arrive.After he settled down, he needed to make a call to Alice.

"Cole? Cole?" Lu Li shouted, but got no response. He walked to the door of the villa on the right and looked inside, "Edward?" No one in the construction team was busy, look Look at the time, it is more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunch time is over, why is no one rushing to work?Is it because the construction of the villa has temporarily come to an end, so they stopped working?

Lu Li quickly caught up with Lu Huaijin, "I guess they are busy, and there is no one there for now. The daily work on the ranch is very trivial, and they can't finish it. Or, even if they finish their work, they will find something to do by themselves." .”

Passing through the beech forest, Lu Li looked at the vineyard and wondered how the cutting work was going; the cows that were pregnant before didn't know what was going on, and the calf's pregnancy period was usually like this; Brandon's horse training work, whether his inspections to other ranches had any results; he looked around, but found that Teddy didn't show up, and felt a little lost for no reason. Every time he came back before, Teddy would run away before he got home. came out to meet him at the door.

In a trance, Lu Li realized that he gradually became Cole and the others, every inch of the ranch was imprinted in his heart, one trifle after another was constantly recurring in his brain, and he couldn't stop.

"Lu Li, is this a garden?" Song Lingyi stopped, looking at the small garden overgrown with weeds, Song Lingyi shook her head, "Why didn't you plan to tidy it up? You have been at the ranch for nearly three months, right?" Isn’t it a pity to leave such a small garden abandoned here?”

Lu Li stepped forward and put his arms around Song Lingyi's shoulders, "It's not the first day you know your son, that's why I need you."

Song Lingyi looked at her foolish son, smiled helplessly and shook her head, "You just won't grow up."

The mood of parents is always extremely contradictory. When their children were young, they hoped that their children would grow up quickly and get out of trouble; They still work if needed.

Lu Li chuckled lightly, "You will stay here for a while, you can take care of the garden slowly." Lu Li pushed Song Lingyi and walked towards the house, "Go back and have a rest first. , and then I'll take you to the ranch." Lu Li turned his head, behind him was Lu Huaijin with his hands behind his back, looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest, "Dad, what do you think of this place?"

"Your garden really needs to be taken care of." Lu Huaijin's words made Lu Li laugh heartily.

Pushing open the door of the main house, before Lu Li could speak, a large group of people appeared from behind the sofa, from behind the kitchen cabinet, from behind the stairwell, from the bathroom door, and from outside the back door. ...People are coming out of every corner, and the hall that was empty one second is full of people the next second.

Not to mention Song Lingyi, even Lu Li was taken aback, subconsciously took half a step back. "Ah!" Song Lingyi yelled reflexively. Lu Li immediately protected Song Lingyi behind him. Lu Huaijin, who was a step slower, also stepped forward and once again protected Song Lingyi behind him. He stood firmly behind Lu Li, vigilant. Concentrating on the scene in front of him.

"Dada! Welcome to Cloudtop Ranch!" Randy shouted excitedly in a loud voice. He was standing in the middle of the room, holding a banner in his hand, and the other end of the banner was led by Brandon. The banner was pulled up, and it read in Chinese, "Welcome to Yunding Ranch, Mr. Lu".

Mr. Lu... Apparently, they used Google Translate or something to translate "Lu" into "Lu".

But before Lu Li could respond, Edward who was standing next to him said, "Three, two, one!" Edward was holding two pink balloons in his hand, the pink color matched with Edward's muscles, There is really an inexplicable sense of joy, "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year to everyone! We sing and dance, and wish everyone a Happy New Year!"

Under the leadership of Edward, everyone sang in unison—in Chinese, but the suffocated Chinese couldn’t understand the pronunciation at all, and could only hear funny tones scattered down. The scene looked too funny, but Everyone was so serious and focused on singing, as if they were singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve.

Including Brandon.Brandon hid a small note behind the banner, peeking down from time to time, but the action was so obvious that the small white note could be seen directly.

Fred was the most active, holding two big balloons in his hand, he seemed to have scored at least double digits, and then sang loudly, and even shook his body vigorously, just like the sunflowers of the motherland.

Song Lingyi finally came to his senses at this time, walked up, and patted Lu Li on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Song Lingyi's puzzled expression. Lu Li laughed dumbfounded, and pointed to the banner in front of him. Song Lingyi immediately understood. When he came over, he couldn't help laughing, but he seemed to feel that he was a little impolite, so he covered his mouth, but his shoulders couldn't help shrugging.

Lu Huaijin didn't hold back her smile either, and shook her head helplessly—the completely substandard Chinese was really too rough, but their faces were sincere and serious, which was touching but also a little funny.

A simple song lasted only 30 seconds, but Lu Li could see the sweat dripping from their foreheads.After the song ended, Randy shouted again, "Welcome!" The awkward Chinese, although the intonation is not accurate, but the pronunciation is correct, the voice is loud, the face is red, and the expression is excited. It seems that as long as a little rhythm, it will be Dance with hands and feet.

Then Jessica took the initiative to greet her, and Chloe—the unexpected Chloe, Lu Li's eyes widened involuntarily. Without pausing, the two women walked up to Song Lingyi, first said in Chinese, "Welcome!" Then they opened their arms and stepped forward to give Song Lingyi a firm hug.

Song Lingyi was really taken aback. She was not used to hugging. She raised her head and glanced at Lu Li, and then saw the affirmative expression on Lu Li's face. Song Lingyi regained her composure, hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and hugged Jesse back. Card, followed by Chloe.

Seeing Song Lingyi's action, Randy was the first to rush over, yelling, "Mrs. Lu! Mrs. Lu!" Then he warmly gave Song Lingyi a hug. Lu Huaijin stood beside him and coughed twice. The situation is still somewhat uncomfortable.Randy heard Lu Huaijin's voice, raised his head, and said loudly, "Mr. Lu!" He strode forward with open arms.

Lu Huaijin subconsciously took two steps back, trying to dodge, but there was a table behind her, and Lu Huaijin had nowhere to retreat. Randy immediately gave Lu Huaijin a firm hug.

Lu Huaijin was really not used to it, and exclaimed, "Lu Li!"

Looking at his bewildered father, Lu Li burst out laughing and waved his hands. Not only did he not step forward to save Lu Huaijin, but he also said to Song Lingyi, "Mom, don't you plan to give Dad a hug?"

Song Lingyi was a little stunned, but seeing the playful light in Lu Li's eyes, and then at Lu Huaijin's wide-eyed eyes, she finally laughed heartily, stepped forward, and gave Lu Huaijin a hug. It was obvious that Lu Huaijin's The muscles of the body stiffened, and even the expression began to look unnatural.

Lu Li waved to the other friends beside him, "Come on, come on, let's hug together!"

Fred was the first to bear the brunt, then Tony, then Cole, and the rest of the people swarmed over, surrounding Lu Huaijin tightly and airtightly.

Lu Li was also about to step forward to join the group hug, but he didn't want to hear a movement at his feet. He looked down and saw that it was Teddy.Lu Li immediately showed a big smile, squatted down, and gave Teddy a firm hug, "Hey, buddy!"
