Yunding Ranch

Chapter 233
"Carmen!"

Taylor looked at Carmen's voice and yelled helplessly, but found that Carmen didn't pay attention at all, so he could only look away, "Amber, I'm sorry, okay?"

Ambow pursed his lips and smiled shyly, then quickly followed.

Lu Li smiled at Taylor and said, "Hurry up and take your luggage up. I can act as a guardian for 15 minutes. But I must let you know that I have no experience as a babysitter."

Taylor raised his head happily and laughed, carrying his luggage and walking towards the main house.

Lu Li looked away, and then saw Alison looking at him with a smile on his face. He cast a puzzled look, and Alison lowered her eyelids apologetically, expressing her apology, and then raised her eyes again, "Are you A humorous guy. I mean, American humor."

"I thought no one in Texas knew how to appreciate my humor." Lu Li's joking words made Alison chuckle again.

Alison could feel that the young man in front of her was not the Asian type in her impression.In fact, after so many years of development, many Indian Americans have found their place in society, as have a few Japanese and Koreans, but the Chinese have never found their place.But Lu Li obviously wasn't.

She paused, then turned to look in the direction of the main house, "I apologize again for Jamie's rudeness just now. I'm glad you didn't just take out the shotgun."

Lu Li spread his hands, "We've been spotted." He seemed to be saying that he might really go back to get a shotgun.The two couldn't help but smiled at each other, and Lu Li pointed to the front, "I think we'd better hurry up and follow. The resort's facilities are not yet complete, and many safety facilities are not in place."

The last thing Lu Li wanted was for Fred's accident to happen.Today's unexpected visit by Alison's family still needs to be fully prepared.

The two walked forward, and soon saw the emerald-like lake. Carmen stood with his feet in the lake, and his crisp and brilliant laughter echoed on the lake for a long time, like the dense mist in the morning, even the opposite woods They were all startled.

Amber stood obediently by the lake, and said worriedly, "Carmen, be careful, don't run in."

"Amber, come down quickly, come down quickly." Carmen happily circled in place, opened her arms, embraced the empty sky, and listened carefully to the echoes echoing in the woods, the happy jump seemed to be transmitted through the air To every corner of the surrounding, "It's really quiet here! Don't you think?" Carmen put his hands next to his mouth, and shouted across the lake, "I...it's...Ka...men..."

The distant echo seemed to expand the width and dimension of the entire time invisibly, and the whole world became vast.

Carmen seemed to have found the fun, smiled contentedly, turned around suddenly, and the pearl white T-shirt fluttered in the wind, outlining a thrilling streamline, across the lake, "Mom! Look, here is like Not like Lake Como?"

Lake Como is located on the outskirts of Milan and is one of the famous landscapes in Italy. "Star Wars" filmed part of the scene in Lake Como that year.

Alison nodded with a smile, elegant and proper, "Like."

Ambo couldn't help but raised his voice and said, "I think this place is more beautiful."

"Thank you." Lu Li interjected and replied, that blunt response made Ambow's cheeks flush slightly, and he stood there extremely shy.

Lu Li and Alison walked to the side of the lake, looked at the quiet lake, but because of Carmen's mischievousness, there were waves of ripples, circles of shallow ripples, layers of colors changing from light to light. The young and immature Carmen is wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue jeans, with long golden hair casually draped over her shoulders, fluttering gently with the breeze, full of youthful vigor and unscrupulousness.

Such a scenery is really breathtakingly beautiful.

"Carmen, you just sweated in the car today, don't get too carried away. Otherwise you'll catch a cold." Alison said softly, "Amber, are you sure you don't want to go into the water? You can go in the house and ask Taylor to help out with the bathing suit."

Ambow shook his head, and said obediently, "It's fine if I stand here."

"Amber, Ambow, if you don't come down, you will regret it." Carmen yelled, "The lake here is really comfortable..." But before she finished speaking, Carmen looked down at her eyes. Feet, stunned in place, this cut off without warning, made everyone stunned, and Amber couldn't help calling, "Carmen?"

Unexpectedly, Carmen put her finger on her lips, "Shh!" she said softly, and then explained almost in a whisper, "There are fish here! Small, small fish."

Carmen couldn't help squatting down, looking at the fish swimming between her feet, put her hands together, carefully put into the water, trying to catch the fish, but because she was too impatient, she sped up all of a sudden, and then A large splash of water was stirred up, and the fish were immediately startled away.

Carmen pursed her mouth and looked at the large ripples under her feet with a depressed face. The dazed look made the surrounding people couldn't help but smile.

Just when Lu Li thought that Carmen would continue to catch fish unrelentingly, the next second, Carmen started running along the shoreline of the lake, with his hands stretched out, like a small plane flying at low altitude. Make a wonderful foley, "Woo... ho... biu, biubiu..." It sounds like a war.

Carmen also deliberately raised her knees high, lifted them high, and fell heavily, splashing a large amount of water, and almost all of her jeans were wet, but she was completely immersed in it, exhilarated. Lu Li's simplicity and innocence were brought into full play, and Lu Li couldn't help being envious, and wanted to follow Carmen and tread water together.

"Carmen, Carmen!" Alison called out, turned to look at Lu Li, and said apologetically, "I don't want to interrupt her, but if she's not careful, she'll catch a cold."

"Do you need to bring two bath towels?" Lu Li didn't comment on Alison's education method, it wasn't his job.

Alison nodded, "That would be great."

Lu Li waved to Carmen and Ambo, then turned around and walked towards the main house, and walked lightly into the master bedroom. Song Lingyi was still resting, and Lu Huaijin was sitting at the desk flipping through books. There is a quiet and warm atmosphere surging.

Lu Li glanced at Song Lingyi who was sleeping. He didn't explain the situation to Lu Huaijin, but just gestured with his eyes, then went to the bathroom to find two clean towels that hadn't been used before, nodded to Lu Huaijin again, and left immediately Yes, when I came out, I saw Taylor who had just left the guest bathroom, "I just put my luggage down, it's fine here, everything is fine."

Taylor pointed to the downstairs, "I met two other cowboys just now, I would like to ask, can I go to see the cowpen or the sheepfold?" Taylor smiled politely, "I have never seen a real cowboy. flock."

Lu Li could guess that they were no strangers to horses. Many middle-class families would learn to ride horses when they were on vacation.Cattle and sheep, however, are the peculiar products of ranching.

"Of course there is no problem. There are no special events at the ranch, just to experience the daily life here. So, if you have any needs, you can just talk to the cowboys directly." Lu Li nodded and was about to go downstairs when he remembered Another thing, "By the way, are you going to cook dinner by yourself, or will you eat it with us? If you cook it yourself, there are some ingredients in the refrigerator, and there is an organic farm next to it, where you can pick fresh vegetables."

"Uh, if possible, can we have dinner with you?" Taylor frowned and said apologetically, "To be honest, my mother's cooking skills are not that satisfactory."

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "I'm just offering a suggestion. We may have Chinese food tonight, but not everyone can adapt to it." Even without explaining, Taylor could hear the hint in this sentence: Jamie , Jamie may not like Chinese food.

Lu Li didn't continue the conversation, he quickly walked down the stairs and left the main house.He didn't see Jamie and didn't know if Jamie was hiding in the guest room or went outside to smoke.

When he came to the lake again, Lu Li saw a red wooden boat rippling on the lake. Alison was sitting in the boat, holding a transparent umbrella. He didn't know if it was just taken out of the trunk of the car, without a paddle. The oars, just let the boat sway gently with the ripples, looking like a crib.

"I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind my self-assertion." Alison saw Lu Li approaching, and said loudly, "I just feel that the beauty of this place can't be felt on the shore. You know, on the lake , you can feel a different tranquility, as if... I am just one person, only one person.”

The last half of the sentence, the voice gradually became quieter, Lu Li didn't hear it very clearly, maybe it was just his own speculation.

Carmen was still standing beside the lake, jumping on the spot, trying to shake the waves of the lake, and circles of ripples were sent out from under her feet, as if she wanted to make Alison's boat shake more and more.But her efforts had little effect, and the boat rocked slightly, causing Alison to throw her head back, lean back her umbrella a little, and bask in the sun.

"Mom won't let her board the boat together, saying it's too dangerous." Amber's voice of explanation came over.

Lu Li shrugged, "This is really selfish, isn't it?" The teasing words made Ambow chuckle.

Lu Li walked up and handed the towel to Ambow, "I think you can find a place to sit and stand here all the time. This is not the right way to go on vacation."

Amber smiled and nodded, then turned his head and shouted loudly, "Carmen, stop playing with water, or you will have to drink cough syrup at night."

"I'll play for a while longer." Carmen's immature voice said reluctantly, coquettish with a hint of milk, making people smile.

Ambow couldn't help laughing, "Then I guess, you're not interested in other activities on the ranch anymore, right?" The witty words revealed a trace of girlish liveliness.
