Yunding Ranch

Chapter 213 Uncle Li's Entrustment
Tiaotiao tilted his head and stared at Bucky in front of him. Under the reflection of the moonlight, those bright eyeballs kept spinning, as if he wanted to go forward, but he was a little scared, even if Bucky lost his eyes. Jiao stood where he was, and he didn't dare to act rashly.Recalling the process of Tiaotiao's appearance, Lu Li felt that Tiaotiao's psychological shadow area should not be calculated.

In the night, the chirping of crickets came, like a violin nocturne, melodious and sweet.

The air between Tiaotiao and Bucky seemed to condense, which made Lu Li, who was watching, hold his breath and stare intently.Before he knew it, Lu Li's muscles tensed up, and his drowsy brain began to activate, as if he was enjoying the most interesting duel in the world, full of interest.

At this moment, it looked like Tiaotiao had finally made up his mind: going to attack!Then, Tiaotiao jumped forward suddenly, as if he was going to fight Bucky desperately, but before Tiaotiao could pounce on him, he saw Bucky fall back straight, his muscles stiff and motionless , looks like a mummy.

Jump was clearly taken aback by the surprise - how did Bucky fall down before he even touched it?What exactly is going on?Is there any conspiracy in it?The movement of jumping out was stopped, and then gently landed in front of Bucky, stiffened again, staring blankly at Bucky lying on the ground, hesitating for a moment, and finally decided not to confront directly, to avoid suffering, Turned around and ran away.

The running figure that was comparable to the speed of sound disappeared into the grass in the blink of an eye, and only a few blue cap flowers shook slightly, revealing her whereabouts.

Lu Li couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.It seems that Tiaotiao's psychological shadow area is really too big, and it can't be saved.

His eyes fell on Bucky again. In fact, Lu Li was also a little scared. He wasn't sure if Bucky was okay, but when he looked over, he saw Bucky's two front paws lazily itching, his head resting on the ground, lightly Twist lightly, it's nothing at all, just don't enjoy it too much, it makes Lu Li a little curious, what kind of smell is this catnip, and it has such magical power.

"Lu Li, what are you looking at?" A familiar Chinese voice came from behind him. Turning around, he saw Li Huainan walking over.

Lu Li chuckled, "My cat is sniffing catnip. It looks so funny." Lu Li simply explained, calling Li Huainan to come and enjoy it together.But Li Huainan waved his hand, as if he wasn't interested, and Lu Li didn't invite any more. Instead, he turned around and asked, "Why, are you going back?"

It was already late at night, and it took Li Huainan and the others more than ten minutes to drive back.

"Yes, your Aunt Liu is still inside. I was a little moved when I heard your mother talk about the fun in New York. Did you really go to the ice hockey game?" Li Huainan asked curiously.

Lu Li laughed, "Yes. Why, Uncle Li is also interested?"

"No, I'm just curious. Here, everyone talks about football, and then baseball." Li Huainan explained.

"If you are interested, next time I can act as a guide and take you to the scene to experience the atmosphere of the competition." Lu Li took the initiative to send out the invitation, "You and Aunt Liu can go to other cities to see and feel the difference from Texas. scenery."

Li Huainan's expression was a little moved, but he still didn't nod after all.

However, Lu Li knew that Li Huainan, like Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, had devoted their entire lives to their children. They were extremely generous to their children but stingy to themselves. This time, if it hadn't happened to Lu Li There have been relatively big changes, and Lu Huaijin has just undergone heart surgery, and his mentality has changed. It is estimated that they will still not come here.

Li Huainan said with a smile, "I have lived in the United States for a long time, and I feel that everything is the same everywhere, there is nothing special." That honest and hearty laughter, with a hint of shyness, Lu Li nodded in agreement, without deliberately refuting.As long as you have the right mentality, you can find your own happiness anywhere.

"By the way, I came to look for you because I wanted to trouble you with something." Li Huainan moved his shoulders a little cautiously, and seemed not used to asking for help from others.

Lu Li was not in a hurry, but just looked at Li Huainan intently, gave him enough time, and waited patiently.

"I want to say, during the summer vacation, can my kid come to the ranch to stay for a while, I mean, work here." Li Huainan's words were slightly messy, and he could hear that he was very nervous, "It's free, I It means working for free, you only need to provide him with three meals a day. Lu Li, I know this request is a bit sudden and strange..."

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li." Lu Li interrupted Li Huainan, motioning for Li Huainan to look at him intently, and then showed a big smile, "No problem. Of course there is no problem." Lu Li could see that Li Huainan seemed to relax He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Uncle Li, your family is welcome to come to the ranch at any time. Don't be polite to me, okay?"

Li Huainan laughed dryly twice, and gradually calmed down, "My kid, Li Yitong."

"One tube?" This wasn't the first time Lu Li had heard the story of Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan's son, but it was the first time he had heard his name. Something was wrong, could it be Mahjong?

Li Huainan laughed, "At the beginning we thought the name was very similar, the tung tree of Wutong, and it was very distinctive. After getting the registered permanent residence, we realized that the name has the same pronunciation as Mahjong." Recalling those old events, Li Huainan became more and more Relaxed.

"So, he came to the ranch just for vacation? Or what's the matter?" Lu Li's question was rather cryptic. After all, Li Huainan is Chinese, not as straightforward as North Americans.Li Huainan proposed this proposal without warning, and there must be something hidden behind it, but Lu Li is not sure how much Li Huainan is willing to say.

"Work, he is here to work." Li Huainan said affirmatively, "I want him to learn from you, you know, he has always wanted to stay in the big city, he didn't want to come back, he always felt that he couldn't stay here any longer. "

Lu Li was stunned, "Uh, he's still in college, or..."

"He's already working. He's 27 years old this year, much older than you." Li Huainan replied.

Lu Li felt a little embarrassed, "Uncle Li, staying in a big city has the benefits of a big city, and staying in a ranch also has the benefits of a ranch. I think, maybe, you can have a good communication with Big Brother Yitong."

Li Huainan was stunned for a moment, then realized what Lu Li meant, and shook his head again and again, "That's not what I meant, I didn't mean that."

For parents, they always hope that their children can stay by their side, hope that their children can return to their roots, and hope that their children can accompany them.Lu Li thought that Li Huainan hoped that Li Yitong would not stay in Los Angeles, but come back to Texas and stay with them, but Li Yitong disagreed, so Li Huainan wanted Lu Li to persuade him.

Lu Li knew that this was a hot potato, but he didn't think Li Yitong would listen to him, since the two had never met before.

Unexpectedly, Li Huainan denied it.

Immediately, Li Huainan also realized the ambiguity in what he just said, and couldn't help laughing, "I know, every child has their own ideas. When he went to Los Angeles, he also persuaded the two of us, and we both agreed. If he wants to If he can continue to stay in Los Angeles, it is one thing for us to want him to stay with us, but it is another thing for the child to have his own ideas and develop his own life after he grows up. We cannot protect the child for the rest of his life. Isn't it?"

Lu Li heaved a sigh of relief, then realized the little misunderstanding just now, laughed, let out a long and exaggerated breath on purpose, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said jokingly, "The muscles in my back were so stiff just now. Like marble."

"Hehe." Li Huainan was also amused, and then continued to explain, "However, in the past year, he has become more and more unhappy and lifeless. He doesn't like his job, but he can't find a direction. To be more precise, he doesn't know what he wants. He doesn't complain often, but on the phone, he is always unhappy. Your Aunt Liu and I are very worried about him."

Lu Li suddenly realized.

Anyone who stays in the same job for a long time, repeating the same job mechanically day after day, will gradually smooth out the edges and corners of his personality, and his life seems to lose its vitality. This is true all over the world. The same; but for Li Yitong, in a foreign country, besides the boredom of work, it is definitely not so easy to make friends, and life becomes more and more lonely.

Lu Li himself hadn't experienced such a stage yet, but he felt it in his heart.However, Lu Li didn't interrupt, but asked Li Huainan to continue talking.

"We thought, maybe he can use a period of vacation to work in a different environment, and his condition will be better." Li Huainan said uncertainly, and fell into a short silence after speaking, and then took a deep breath, "We always We will respect his choice, his decision. He is willing to come back to Texas, that would be great, we can take good care of him here; if he still wants to go to Los Angeles, we are also his strongest supporters, we just hope , he can be happy, he's only 27, isn't he?"

Li Huainan raised his head and looked at Lu Li, "You are doing very well. You always know what you are doing, and you can calm down and arrange your life in an orderly manner."

"Haha, Uncle Li, other people's food is always delicious, and other people's children are always good." Lu Li waved his hands repeatedly with a smile. He also struggled when he decided to come to the ranch, and he is still unwilling to give up on the reporter. Dream, he is not as free and easy as he looks on the surface. "I just feel a little better."

Li Huainan was amused by Lu Li's modest words, and he wanted to say something else, but Lu Li interrupted him and continued, "If brother Yitong is willing to come here for a while, change the working environment, adjust The pace of life, of course I welcome it with my hands up."
