Yunding Ranch

Chapter 217 Back on track
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li sat on the swing again and swayed gently, his thoughts rippled like ripples.

Originally, Lu Li was just curious about the origin of the ring, but now, he began to imagine the story behind the ring.How did Albert escape from Europe to China, how did he get the Degas, and do the paintings in the ring space have other special meanings...

Following the clues, Lu Li could trace back to the source of the story in the 40s. The ring went through half a century of bumps and vicissitudes, and finally came to Lu Li's hands.But who knows?Perhaps before that, the ring has a more distant history.Even if it cannot develop the magnificence and magnificence of the entire Middle-earth story like "The Lord of the Rings", it still carries the power and dust of time.

From Europe to Asia to America, then, has it ever been to Africa and Oceania?

Raising his head, he looked at the bright moon in the sky, the full moonlight fell down, and he could feel a slight chill on his skin, and he shivered involuntarily.

Teddy lying next to him seemed to feel the coldness of Lu Li. He stood up and put his head on Lu Li's calf, rubbing his head lightly, protecting Lu Li with his warm body temperature. This made Lu Li look back and burst out laughing. Get up, bend down and hug Teddy's head, "Dude, I know, you've always been by my side."

After rubbing Teddy's golden hair vigorously, Lu Li stood up and stretched, "Let's go, buddy, it's time to go back and rest."

When he came to the side of the fence, he saw that little Bucky was still lying on the ground, motionless, showing no sign of getting up at all. The catnip this night made him happy; Lu Li had to go around and hug him up.Normally, Bucky would be mischievous and would not compromise at all, but today he was extraordinarily obedient, he didn't even twist, just lying obediently in Lu Li's arms.

Lu Li opened the door and walked into the room. He saw that everyone was still sitting in the hall. It was almost midnight and the atmosphere was still hot. "Hey, look who this is?" Lily shouted, holding a Holding a bottle of beer, his face was full of red, and he took the initiative to say hello.

"Wow, you've decided? Will you stay here tonight?" Lu Li said with a smile, "The guest rooms here are always kept clean, and the room in the house opposite... Cole?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Without waiting for Cole to answer, Jessica raised her voice and replied, "The place has been cleaned, and it is enough for us to take out the blankets. Guests are welcome to stay at any time."

"That would be great! If you need anything, just let me know." Lu Li's eyes fell on Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan, "If you want to experience life on the ranch, I would also welcome them with my hands up. Then he looked at Lily and Ronald next to him, "As for you, I believe you will find the most comfortable way to enjoy this night."

Everyone raised their hands at the same time, yelling, it was so lively.

Lu Li's eyes fell on Lu Huaijin. He was a little worried about his father's health. After all, he had just undergone an operation half a year ago.

Lu Huaijin didn't notice that he was describing the interesting stories of those second-hand bookstores with Brandon and Randy, and his emotions were high; but Song Lingyi noticed, she shook her head slightly at Lu Li, and then showed a smile, signaling that she would take care of him. Good for Lu Huaijin, let Lu Li not worry.

Lu Huaijin was not used to this kind of Lu Huaijin - impassioned, enthusiastic, eloquent, seemed to have endless things to say, and couldn't wait to share his thoughts, but his spirit was high and shining brightly.

Lu Li couldn't help showing a smile, nodded to Song Lingyi, then walked to the side of the stairs, and put Bucky down.Although Bucky sneaked into Lu Li's room every night, his nest was still here and hadn't moved.

The living room behind was still very hot, and everyone seemed to have no plans to go to bed. Lu Li also took a bottle of beer and joined everyone.Looking at the joyful father and mother quietly, you can occasionally faintly hear the tinkling wind chimes outside the window, and you can smell the warmth of home under your nose.

In the end, everyone chatted on and on until two o'clock in the morning, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, so they went back to rest one after another.From New York back to the ranch, it only took one afternoon and one night for Lu Li to complete the seamless integration. He is now more and more used to life on the ranch.

The next morning, Song Lingyi got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. Unexpectedly, Brandon still got up earlier than them as usual. Not only that, Liu Xiaoyan and Lily also woke up early, and they both planned to prepare breakfast. Use this to express your gratitude.

As a result, the three women bustled around in the kitchen, showing off their skills, making a variety of breakfasts to feed everyone on the ranch.The three of them even had time to sit down and ferment a batch of steamed buns, ready to steam them for eating.That leisurely time slowed down the pace of life again.

After returning to the ranch, Lu Li quickly started to get busy again.

After harvesting, organic farms can sow once or twice before September.After discussing with Lu Li, Randy and Lu Li decided not to worry about planting collard greens for the time being, but to adopt Ferguson's advice and plant lettuce.

Due to the short growth cycle of lettuce, it can be harvested once a month. Next, organic farms can harvest at least twice, and all harvests will be sold to HEB supermarkets. Profit is one aspect. The short-term cooperation with HEB has established a good Reputation is another aspect; Randy can go further and test the pest situation and the effect of temperature.

It is worth mentioning that, after all, organic farms have encountered pests.

After midsummer comes, all kinds of pests become active. Although they are not serious and have not yet reached the level of being called a "disaster", it still requires Randy to put in more energy and take good care of the vegetables.It can be seen that the space spring water has a certain deterrent effect on pests, but it cannot completely eliminate them.

This is a good thing, if the finished vegetables are too perfect, they will not look like organic farm crops, but more like greenhouse products; but on the other hand, Lu Li has to start worrying, if the pests are too rampant, the next crop harvest will also suffer affected.

Sure enough, new jobs appear every day on the ranch, and new worries appear every day.

After lunch, Lu Li took Grape and Grapefruit outside for half an hour toss the ball, while Teddy sat at the garden gate, quietly watching them play.When he returned to the main house, Lu Li saw Lu Huaijin walking towards him, and raised his voice to say hello, "How is the cheese making?"

Without even asking, Lu Li knew that Lu Huaijin was going to inspect the cheese again. This has become one of Lu Huaijin's regular schedules every day.

"Very good!" Lu Huaijin nodded in affirmation.

"I'm already looking forward to it now." Lu Li said with a smile, "We can take some out to taste before you go back. Maybe the taste is not mature enough, but at least we made it with our own hands."

Lu Li didn't have much research on cheese, but he knew that the quality, appearance and taste of cheese would be affected by the length of the fermentation period.However, Lu Li didn't taste the specific difference, so he didn't know anything about it. Now, they finally had the opportunity to find out slowly.

Lu Huaijin showed a bright smile and expressed his affirmation.

"What's your plan for this afternoon?" Lu Li asked proactively, "Do you want to arrange some outdoor activities? To prevent you from being too boring at home."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Lu Huaijin asked.

This surprised Lu Li, he thought that Lu Huaijin would refuse as usual.However, during this period of time in the ranch, Lu Huaijin is indeed trying to change, not a huge change, but at least trying to accept different things.This is a positive start.

Originally, Lu Li wanted to suggest that Lu Huaijin try to learn how to set a cow, and he can learn it himself. This is one of the basic skills of a cowboy; but after thinking about it, Lu Li recalled another thing, "Dad, how about Shall we go target shooting together? You know, shooting with all the different guns and trying moving targets."

Lu Li remembered that Lu Huaijin was interested in guns and shooting at the cowboy convention.But after the conference, he went to New York, and this matter has never been mentioned.

Sure enough, Lu Huaijin's eyes lit up slightly, but she tried her best not to show it, and coughed twice, "Where is the shooting range? Is it far away?"

"Not far." Lu Li did not expose his father's true thoughts, and took the initiative to introduce, "Justin, do you remember him? He owns a shooting range, and there are all kinds of guns to learn. You can find your own. Hobbies. The shooting range is less than a 10-minute drive from here."

"Twenty-ten minutes, that sounds good. Let's go and have a look this afternoon." Lu Huaijin nodded lightly, without being too excited, "I'll go back and change a pair of shoes, and then we'll go." Lu Huaijin walked steadily Walking towards the house, he raised his voice and shouted, "Ling Yi, Ling Yi? Lu Li and I are going to the shooting range. Do you want to go with us?"

Judging from the pace and back view alone, Lu Huaijin was still calm and calm, but that cheerful voice revealed the true emotions in her heart.

Lu Li's mood also soared.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Li and Lu Huaijin got into his Raptor and set off towards Justin's Sky Shield shooting range; Song Lingyi did not go together.

Song Lingyi has no interest in shooting, nor does she have any interest in guns, not to mention, she has already made arrangements. This afternoon, she and Jessica will go out for a stroll on horseback, and then go to the lavender field to get busy—it is already seven It's a month, and the lavender is gradually starting to turn purple, which is what Song Lingyi is most concerned about at the moment.
