Yunding Ranch

Chapter 170 Welcome Home
I don’t know, I don’t know, I’m startled when I understand.The price of professional outdoor products is far beyond imagination. Of course, this is understandable. After all, outdoor sports require professional equipment. Any negligence will be closely related to life. You must not be sloppy, and the price will naturally rise.

From tents to backpacks, from kettles to Swiss army knives, from flashlights to moisture-proof pads, from jackets to trekking poles... After the clerk's introduction, Lu Li bought a lot of things. The back of the car was already full. All kinds of flowers, these things can't be put down at all, so they can only be thrown in the back seat.

At this moment, the advantage of the pickup truck finally emerged: it can be loaded!It's like a monster!
After leaving the outdoor goods store, under the guidance of the clerk, Lu Li found a nearby supermarket and completed a big purchase with Song Lingyi. Then he headed towards Yunding Ranch in a mighty way. The whole car was almost destroyed. It was so crowded that Lu Li could even feel the wheels moaning and howling.

Before arriving in New Braunfels, Song Lingyi fell asleep groggyly. She has been exhausted all day today. Obviously, she needs a little rest.Therefore, Lu Li slowed down the speed of the car a little to make the car more stable and headed steadily towards his home. When he finally arrived at the ranch, he was almost half an hour later than expected.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and the whole sky is glowing with a magnificent blue-purple.

Rubbing his slightly tired eyes, he could see a dim yellow light glowing among the vast forests, grasslands and mountains from a distance. That hazy circle of light supported the whole world, as if on the edge of the boundless coast. The lighthouse seen above guides the way home, as if the exhaustion in the body has been relieved unconsciously, and the joy and happiness of going home are gently dancing on the tip of the tongue.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, vaguely, Lu Li can see the light bulb on the porch, the wattage is not high, and occasionally it's not very bright, flickering, almost drowning in the main house. Under the halo of milky yellow, not to mention, the sky has not yet completely darkened at this time, and the shimmering sky has scattered many sights.However, Lu Li still saw the light bulb at a glance, because Lu Huaijin was standing under the faint light.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly paced back and forth in the porch. His expression could not be seen in the distance, and even the lines of his figure could not be seen clearly, but the constant pacing back and forth had already revealed the anxiety and worry in his heart .

Behind Lu Huaijin, the lights were not turned on in the main house, but the lights could be seen in the sheep pens, cattle pens and stables behind. The sound of the sheep and the cows chirping further sets off the tranquility of the pasture; through the beech forest, two small figures can be seen busy on the other side of the valley. They should be Randy and Tony. Finishing work is being done; the busyness on the villa construction site has stopped, the whole day's work is over, the construction team has gone home, the sound of hammers and saws is missing in the air, it seems that all the noise has been settled one after another down.

Even if there was no smoke, even if there was no warm welcome, but such an ordinary scene made Lu Li smile involuntarily, and a faint warmth flowed in his heart.Although Lu Li strongly suspected that Lu Huaijin was waiting for Song Lingyi, not him.Thinking of this, the smile became even brighter.

The so-called harbor of home does not lie in the luxury of the house and the spaciousness of the land, but in the people who sit in the house and wait for you.

Lu Huaijin heard the sound of wheels running over stones, and stopped suddenly. Turning around, she saw Lu Li's iconic bird of prey. He was standing in front of the stairs in the porch, with his hands behind his back, watching the scene calmly. The car did not express too much, but just waited quietly.

The car turned into the ranch and stopped at the door of the main house.Lu Li could see Lu Huaijin standing at the stairs. He turned around and patted Song Lingyi on the shoulder, "Mom, we're home."

Song Lingyi rubbed her eyes and stretched her waist involuntarily, "Mom, if you feel tired, go back upstairs and sleep first, and I'll call you when I have dinner." Today's exercise is still a lot Not to mention Song Lingyi, even Lu Li himself felt tired.

"No need." Song Lingyi waved her hand nonchalantly, "Close your eyes and rest for a while, that's enough." She unbuckled her seat belt, turned her head and saw Lu Huaijin standing at the door, her face couldn't help showing With a smile, he joked, "Your dad must be hungry. I promised to cook something delicious for you tonight, but I haven't forgotten!"

Song Lingyi opened the car door and walked down, and then saw Lu Huaijin coming up to meet her, waiting for her at the gate of the garden.Compared with Westerners, they are still too reserved, they don't even hug each other, they just stand quietly and look at each other. There are still three or four steps between the two, but the surging momentum between them The soft breath has a refreshing and gentle taste.

Song Lingyi waved at Lu Huaijin, and shouted, "What about the other boys? Ask them to come out to help, the car is almost full."

Lu Huaijin's gaze fell on Song Lingyi, following him like a shadow, "Did you fall asleep in the car just now? Are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs to rest?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy." Song Lingyi opened the door of the back seat and replied with a smile, "How about you, how is everything this afternoon? Apart from reading, you didn't go for a walk in the vineyard? "

"It's okay." Lu Huaijin answered concisely, then walked forward, took the supermarket bag from Song Lingyi's hand, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't hold back after all, "Dad, are you sure you don't want to say hello to your son? I'm also very tired today."

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Lu Huaijin said without looking back, and strode back to the main house.

Lu Li felt a tightness in his chest, and then saw Song Lingyi's bright smile, "Why, you still act like a spoiled child to your father?" Lu Li shrugged helplessly, "I think even if I acted like a spoiled child, he wouldn't bother Yes. When he is at home, he still cares about my situation. After he comes here, does he not care too much?"

"Haha, do you need to care?" Kele's hearty laughter came over, and he ran out of the main house like a gust of wind. Lu Li directly raised his middle finger in response, which provoked Kele and Song Lingyi They all laughed, "I think my dad probably didn't see the pile of flowers behind him at all, and only my mother was in his eyes."

"Isn't this normal? He's your mother's husband." Cole shrugged and said lightly, "Ms. L, do these things need to be moved in? Or do some things need to be put in the warehouse?"

Lu Li opened his mouth to say something, but there was a loud noise from the main house, "Wow, wow. Lots of things! Great harvest!" Randy's noisy voice rushed over, breaking the The tranquility in the air, the garden that seemed quiet and peaceful a second ago, suddenly became lively, and then Tony and Jessica, did everyone chatter, "What did you buy?" "You are going to Camping? Great!" "What is this, a seed?"  …

The sound of discourse echoed in the ears, and the bustling seemed to be at a party.

The smile on the corner of his mouth involuntarily spilled out of his voice, Lu Li shook his head helplessly, then he also opened the car door and walked down, helping everyone carry things in one by one.

Song Lingyi put the things bought in the flea market on the table in the living room, and shouted loudly, "We bought some gadgets, I don't know what you like, you can look for yourself, if you like it, take it away. If not, Then wait for today's dinner."

"What? You bought us presents?" Randy exclaimed excitedly, celebrating like a child.

Teddy, who was standing by the side, also ran over to join in the fun, sniffing around a few packages on the coffee table, as if looking for his gift; even Tiaotiao ran down reluctantly, jumped onto the sofa, Raising his front paws, he looked at the chaos in front of him, full of curiosity and anticipation; fortunately, the two little guys, Grape and Grapefruit, seemed to be still busy in the sheep pen, otherwise the house would be full of noise at this time.

Song Lingyi touched Teddy's head, "These things don't belong to you, or did you say that you like collars? I don't think you will like them." Standing up straight, she looked left and right, "Cole, can you help me?" for a while?"

"No problem, please tell me if you have anything to do." Cole quickly came to the back of the sofa and gave a military salute, "Cole Grande is waiting for your instructions." Those witty words are also rare, and you can hear them, Cole's mood is also flying tonight.

Song Lingyi took out the bag of wind chimes, "You and Fourteen take this string of wind chimes to the porch and find a place to hang them." Then Song Lingyi handed the wind chimes to Cole, "Randy, this string can Could you please hang it on the balcony of my room?"

"It's my pleasure to serve the lady." Randy said grinningly, Song Lingyi looked at the messy things on the table, "Jessica, I'll leave you to tidy up these, I'm going to prepare dinner now. Tony, you can Follow me with that bag of things from the supermarket?" After assigning the task, Song Lingyi walked quickly to the kitchen, and Tony followed with the heavy bag in both hands.

Everyone in the room was mobilized.

Cole came outside the house and saw Lu Li and Brandon who were unloading the car—Brandon had obviously just finished working in the stables, so he came back, "Fourteen, come and help hang the wind chimes, what is the beginning of this string?" What does it look like?"

Lu Li put the camellia in his hand next to the garden, turned his head and saw Cole holding up the wind chime, through the glass of the main house, he could see the busy figures of everyone inside.

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly had an illusion, as if they were celebrating the Spring Festival in their hometown. Song Lingyi's voice echoed in his ears, "Lu Li, go and post the Spring Festival couplets..."
