Yunding Ranch

Chapter 214 International Long Distance

"Meow", Bucky's lazy but sharp voice interrupted the conversation between Lu Li and Li Huainan, the two looked in Bucky's direction at the same time, and laughed together.

Li Huainan patted Lu Li's shoulder, thought for a moment, and finally said simply, "Thank you." Then he turned around, walked towards the main house, and shouted, "Xiaoyan, let's go back .It's getting late. Anyway, we will also live here tonight, anyway, there is enough space here."

This sentence immediately triggered a burst of approval in the hall, which was extremely lively.

Following the sound, Lu Li could see a large group of people jumping up and down in the room. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that Song Lingyi was not only inviting Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan to stay, but also inviting everyone else to stay. It looks as if they were playing with their friends when they were young, but they had to separate because it was getting late, so they begged their parents for permission, hoping that their friends could stay.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, he likes this kind of mother, a mother who is getting younger and younger, the traces of time seem to be turning back a little bit.

Teddy pushed open the door, ran out all the way, found Lu Li's location accurately, walked around him twice, and then lay down at Lu Li's feet, his obedient and docile appearance made people smile.Lu Li squatted down and stroked Teddy's golden hair. There was a faint warmth in his palm. It used to be the temperature he was most afraid of, but now it has become a temperature that reassures him.

Lu Li walked to the swing next to him, sat down, and then Teddy followed closely, lying down next to Lu Li again.Lu Li shook the swing lightly, the shaking was not violent, like a small boat swaying on the lake, gradually he relaxed, as if he had returned to his childhood, sitting on the swing carefree, staring hard. It seems that as long as the soles of the feet are shaking like this, they can spend the whole day, purely happy.

The only difference is that he has an extra golden shepherd dog by his side—this was impossible when he was a child.

Teddy seemed to have sensed Lu Li's change of mood, raised his head, and yelled "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo". Lu Li reached out and touched Teddy's head again. Looking at that childish and brilliant appearance, the arc of the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed an international call. The phone rang for a while before being cut off directly.Lu Li looked at his phone, stunned, and broadcasted it again. He didn't expect to be cut off this time. He was completely confused and didn't understand what happened. The third time he dialed, the third time was cut off.

Looking at the screen of my mobile phone, could it be that I misremembered the phone number?

Lu Li recalled it carefully. After he got Song Kongming's phone number, he never seemed to call.Their relationship is actually good. When he was a child, he used to be jealous that his grandfather loved Song Kongming so much, but that was just a childish idea. It will be fine after school.

There is an eight-year difference between the two of them, which is almost three generations apart, so the two people's life development paths are also different. After Song Kongming graduated from university, he returned to his hometown, honestly took the civil service exam, and then held this iron rice bowl. Until now, nearly nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although there is a big difference in age, Lu Li and Song Kongming still have a lot of common topics, such as basketball, games, and food.It's just that the two of them usually don't make phone calls deliberately when they have nothing to do.

The first thought in Lu Li's head right now was that Song Kongming changed his phone number, that's why his call was cut off.

But after thinking about it, Lu Li came to his senses - when making an international call, the number display is often rather strange. In modern society, there are countless fraudulent calls, and the number is also a series of strange numbers.Perhaps it was for this reason that Song Kongming refused to answer the call.

Thinking of this, Lu Li switched the language of the keyboard, and then sent a text message to Song Kongming, identifying himself and saying that he would call back later. After waiting for about 2 minutes, he called again, and the call was finally connected. Yes, Song Kongming's hesitant voice came, "Who is it?"

"Brother Kong Ming, it's me, Lu Li."

"It's really you." Song Kongming laughed, "I thought it was a liar."

"I guessed it." Lu Li laughed dumbly, "Is everything okay at home recently? Is Xiao Qi okay?"

Song Qining, that is Song Kongming's daughter, but Lu Li has never been able to remember how old she is this year. He has never had a concept of the child's age, because it seems that they have grown up in the blink of an eye, and they have just been born in memory. , I went to school in a blink of an eye.If Lu Li remembers correctly, should Song Qining be six or seven years old, wait, or only four years old?
"When she was dancing ballet this afternoon, she twisted her ankle and she is acting like a baby at home." Song Kongming said with a smile.

"Ah? Is she okay?" Lu Li was taken aback.

"It's all right." Song Kongming said again and again, "It's just a slight sprain. Your sister-in-law took her to see a doctor, and she will be fine after rubbing the medicinal wine and resting. And you, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Auntie and Uncle is with you now, isn't he? Are they all right?"

"They're fine. We just came back from New York. They played there for three weeks. I also took them to a concert and an ice hockey game." Lu Li's words made Song Kongming's eyes light up. Personally talked about the fun of watching the game in detail, and even trivial details such as game ticket prices, location impressions, and on-site snacks.

Lu Li knew that Song Kongming could not refuse such a temptation.

"Otherwise, look at the time, come here in summer or autumn, and I'll take you to watch the game live. Don't you always want to go to the NBA?" Like most die-hard fans in China, Song Kongming is the most What I like the most is the Los Angeles Lakers, just because I have experienced the golden partner era of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.

"I don't have time." Song Kongming's first reaction was to refuse with a smile.

"You have worked for so many years, and you have never asked for leave. It is not difficult to take your annual leave in one go and then ask for a period of leave." Lu Li's hometown is a small place, and the system is not so strict. It is not uncommon to ask for leave to go out for a month.

"I remember, Xiaoqi will start school next year, right? After school, it will not be so convenient to go out again. Besides, it is always good for children in the new era to go outside to broaden their horizons. You and your sister-in-law are not always Are you worried about her English? You can bring her here to practice oral English. My mother’s spoken English is slipping now, she speaks better than me.”

Song Kongming chuckled at Lu Li's joke, but this time he didn't directly refuse.

"Brother Kong Ming, is your sister-in-law's 30th birthday this year? When you got married, you didn't have a honeymoon trip. Now it's time to make up for it." Lu Li's teasing made Song Kongming a little shy, and he continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Come here, I'll eat Cover...and even air tickets."

As long as he can get his grandma over, Lu Li will do whatever it takes.

"Lu Li, tell me, what exactly are you planning?" Song Kongming also heard something unusual. If it is said that food and lodging are included, it is normal. He heard about Lu Li running a ranch in the United States; This intention is too obvious.

This time, Lu Li didn't beat around the bush again, "I want grandma to come and play. Grandma has always wanted to go outside to have a look, but it has never been possible. Grandpa stays at home and doesn't want to leave. Grandma will feel guilty if she comes out alone. , did not have a good time, so..."

"So you want me to convince Grandpa to let him hang out with Grandma?" Song Kongming continued.

Lu Li nodded, "That's right, if you come with them, just say, you pay for it and invite grandpa to play outside, he will definitely be willing."

Lu Li's grandfather is an extremely traditional man. The greatest pride in his life is Song Kongming. The three daughters are not worth mentioning to him. Lu Li's uncle and Song Kongming's father, Song Kongming's father, died in the year Song Kongming was born. died.Grandpa Lu Li's favorite thing is to show off Song Kongming's great achievements in various ways. Even if other people have achieved better results, he doesn't care.Therefore, the only one who could convince Grandpa Lu Li was Song Kongming.

Song Kongming shook his head straight away, "How can this be so? You pay for it, but I get credit for it. What's the point?" I was really moved, "I'll go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law. Summer is definitely not an option. The new NBA season won't start until the end of October. Then we'll go there at the end of the year and check the schedule. Maybe we can go there for the holidays."

"Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, take your pick. It's a good experience to experience Western festivals here." Lu Li was like a salesman trying to sell Amway, working extremely hard.

Lu Li's positivity and enthusiasm made Song Kongming laugh, "I know. I'll go and convince Grandpa. But what about the visa issue? Will it be troublesome?"

"No, just leave it to me." Lu Li said broadly, "Look, my parents' visas are fine, and so are you. It doesn't matter if you don't speak English, those visa officers will say In Chinese, you just tell the truth, and everything will be fine.”

Song Kongming nodded and thought for a while, "Okay, I will tell your sister-in-law when she comes back. But I have a request."

"I'll get you the tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers home game!" Lu Li said confidently, patted his chest.

Song Kongming nodded in satisfaction, "By the way, isn't football very popular in the United States? Do you want to watch it?"

"Football tickets are also fine, as long as they are not from the Green Bay Packers, you can buy them!" Lu Li's straightforward response was responded positively by Song Kongming, "I have never been abroad since I grew up. Light, I will also go abroad for a trip."
