Yunding Ranch

Chapter 238 Reappearance
Jamie was distraught and in a terrible mood.The failure of investment, the setbacks of life, and the difficulties of the economic situation pushed him into a desperate situation step by step; the burden of the family, this is a sweet burden, but it weighed him down. They have a happy life, but they want to live a happy life. It's not easy to keep going.

This is life, which always has countless helplessness and countless confusions.Not everything can be answered, and not everything can be judged right or wrong. Maybe an exit can be found, maybe not, but life must go on after all.

He took a deep puff of the cigarette, but found that the cigarette butt had already been extinguished, so he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and a deep voice came from his ear, "If I were you, I would pick up the cigarette butt. "

Jamie raised his head, and then saw a young man dressed in cowboy clothes, he vaguely remembered that his name was Cole.

Jamie frowned tightly, showing anger in his eyes, but before the anger was vented, Cole raised his eyebrows and said mercilessly, "If this beech forest catches fire, even if you can afford it, But things are different in the end, so, believe me, you'll want to mess with this beech forest."

The cold and blunt words made Jamie stunned, and finally lost under Cole's gaze, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt, and put it in his palm.

Only then did Cole nodded in satisfaction, "Also, it's time for dinner."

Jamie looked up at the bright moon above his head. It was only seven o'clock, and it was already dinner time?Is it too early?Dinner time in New York is usually eight or nine o'clock, and now he is not hungry at all... But before he had time to speak, he lowered his head and found that Cole had already turned and left, leaving only a tough back.

"Grumble."

There was a rumbling sound in his stomach, which made Jamie bow his head in embarrassment.I ran a long way today, I only ate half a sandwich for lunch, and I didn't even drink a glass of water in the afternoon. Now, all the hunger pangs are accompanied by the words "it's dinner time".

Fortunately, no one else was around.

Jamie touched his head irritably, messed up his hair completely, and walked quickly towards the main house.

Pushing open the door of the main house, a burst of pungent and spicy smell came in the air, which made Jamie stop and frowned, "What the hell is this smell?"

The main house was quiet, not even the little guy Carmen made any noise, which made Jamie's voice so clear that everyone could hear it.

"Food." This was Lu Li's answer, concise and clear, but not humane.

Jamie was immediately irritated, "You call this food?" He was still worried about his "swearing" and being heard by the children, which didn't seem good, but the burning anger immediately burned his rationality He walked over with a big stride, and then saw the strange-shaped thing on the table——

A large pot, a large pot of red oil, with complete peppers and small black particles floating on it, densely packed and really scary, the pungent smell is coming from here; a small pot, milky white soup water , floating two long onions, mushrooms, red dates and other strange things, and even a tomato.

"This... what kind of rubbish is this?" Jamie directly accused, "It's just two big pots..."

"Jamie-Williams!" Alison slapped the table and stood up, sternly yelling, interrupting Jamie's subsequent words, a huge burst of energy instantly made the entire restaurant quiet.

From the corner of Lu Li's vision, he could see Carmen and Amber lowering their heads, but Taylor looked at Jamie and then Alison with complicated eyes. The deep expression on his face was really indescribable.

"If you continue to be rude, please leave immediately. We are guests here, and the host entertained us with the greatest enthusiasm. You can either accept it or leave!" Alison's words were very simple, with almost no redundant explanation , simply gave the order neatly, "Jamie Williams, you have already been rude enough today!"

Jamie stared at Alison with sharp eyes.

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi were a little surprised. This was the first time they had come into contact with the family conflicts of the American middle class. They hadn't heard of this afternoon's episode, and they didn't know the ins and outs of the matter. But facing the confrontation at this time, both of them felt a little bit He looked at Lu Li worriedly.

Lu Li nodded slightly, signaling to the elders to be calm.

"Carmen, do you know that 70 years ago, no Americans liked to eat pizza at all?" Lu Li did not intervene in the quarrel between Alison and Jamie. There was no way to start, so he chose to find another way.

"Ah? Really?" Carmen turned her head and said softly, as if she and Lu Li were whispering.But in such a quiet environment, the voices of the two people clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Of course it's true." Lu Li said with a smile, "Pizza was introduced to the United States a long time ago. The gluttonous Italians crossed the Atlantic Ocean and came to this land to start a new life... "

"Like Jack's little dance partner in 'Titanic'?" Carmen interrupted, which made Lu Li stunned, and then heard Jessica's laughter, which made Lu Li laugh too, nodded, expressing Affirmed, "Yes, it's like his little dance partner's family."

"However, at that time, pizza was just street food for Americans. No one liked it, and it was only spread in the Italian community." Lu Li continued, "Later, because of the war, countless American soldiers went to Europe to protect their families. Weiguo. When they returned to the United States, they also brought back their pizza stomachs. You know, pizza is the most common food in their daily life. It is convenient and fast..."

"And it's delicious." Carmen interjected again, and Lu Li laughed again, "Yes, it's delicious. Then, a large number of soldiers returned to their home country, and pizza became popular. Only then did people realize that fresh People need to open their hearts to accept things, and at least give different foods a chance to know whether they like it. If we assume from the beginning that we don’t like it, or even hate it, then we will never be able to discover the beauty of the New World.”

"So we don't know how delicious pizza is?" Carmen said suddenly, then nodded vigorously, and her smile burst into bloom.

"So, are you ready to try new things?" Lu Li pointed to the two hot pots on the table and enthusiastically introduced them.

"I am willing!" Carmen said enthusiastically, and the joyful emotion infected everyone at the scene.

Amber then said loudly, "I am willing!" In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on it, which made Amber a little shy, but she still tried to maintain her composure, "I mean, this thing doesn't look very good Same, but maybe the same as pizza?"

"Don't worry, you will never regret it. This thing is a hundred times better than pizza!" Tony said with affirmative thumbs up.

Randy sitting next to him also nodded repeatedly, "It will make you unable to stop."

"Really? Isn't the stomach about to explode?" Carmen's words made everyone laugh. Carmen didn't know why, so Taylor patted Carmen's little head lightly, "Don't worry, it will explode in your stomach." Before, I will remind you."

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became cheerful, and Jamie, who was standing next to him, became out of place.

Alison didn't talk to Jamie at all, just sat down and asked Jessica beside her, "Excuse me, how do I eat this thing? Will it be troublesome? Why don't I have a clue?" Then Jessica was enthusiastic began to explain.

Song Lingyi looked around, then stood up, and said to Jamie, "Sir, why don't you sit down and join us? Dinner hasn't started yet, and we are waiting for you."

Hearing Song Lingyi's voice, Lu Li immediately became nervous.If Jamie dared to speak ill of Song Lingyi, he swore that he would knock Jamie's teeth out on the spot.

Jamie also did not expect that Song Lingyi would be the first to extend an olive branch to him.

Jamie froze on the spot, but finally said nothing. He lowered his head, walked to the only vacant seat and sat down. Alison was on the left and Brandon was on the right.

Seeing Jamie's actions, the tense atmosphere in the kitchen completely disappeared, and the joyful mood began to spread.Song Lingyi also breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down again, noticing Lu Huaijin's concerned gaze, she smiled and patted the back of Lu Huaijin's hand to indicate that she was fine.

However, Jamie's mood was still tense, and it was hard to say that he could relax. He frowned and looked at the two... hot pots in front of him.Of course he knew that this thing was a hot pot. Although it was far from the hot pot in their impression, it was still not difficult for well-informed New Yorkers to recognize it.

He has no interest in hot pot, not at all.Even though Lu Li said so much just now, he knew that Lu Li was ridiculing him, alluding to himself, and even including his behavior in the afternoon, but he didn't care, he didn't need a young boy to educate him, if Not because of Alison, he didn't want to be here at all.

Leaving, his only thought now is to leave, he needs to be quiet, to be quiet.

"Gululu", the hungry cry came from the stomach again. "...Well, maybe we can go to rest after dinner is over." Jamie told himself.

However, looking at the chopsticks in front of him and looking left and right, there were no knives and forks.Jamie picked up the chopsticks, and looked at the table in front of him. It was full of dishes, and the plate could hardly fit, but...he didn't know what to do, there wasn't any dish he wanted to eat, There wasn't any single food that he thought was worth trying.

"Dad, you should go to the side to get the sauce first." Carmen's voice crossed the dining table and rang cheerfully, "There are a lot of sauces there, you can choose according to your own preferences."
