Yunding Ranch

Chapter 311 Open Your Heart
Grape and Grapefruit walked away at some point and were chasing butterflies beside the beech forest; Teddy and Hulk lay beside them and started licking their front paws; speak out.

The surrounding noise suddenly quieted down.

Lu Li didn't stand up in a hurry, he just lay on the grass, looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, the branches of the beech forest stretched out, with the sky as the background, he outlined a simple painting, it was wonderful; From the corner of the eye, you can vaguely see some outlines, the tough roof lines, soft mountain lines, sharp wood lines, intertwined with the lines of white clouds, leisurely and cozy.

In Burgundy and Fessard, Lu Li also saw similar scenes. The wild cranes in the clouds, the green mountains and green waters, were so beautiful that they all had their own characteristics.However, Lu Li still loves this piece of land.

Not because of how magnificent and beautiful it is here, but because it is a home, a home that belongs to oneself.

Holding a grass root in his mouth, crossing his legs, basking in the sun, listening to the trivial humming of grapefruit and grapes in his ears, and the faint sound of friends playing in the distance, every muscle in his body relaxed.It's been a long time, it's really been a long time.

"Fourteen, fourteen!" Tony yelled excitedly, from far and near, followed by Brandon's yell, "Come play football with us. Come on our team!"

"Who said, come to our team!" Tony protested strongly, and the two started to fight like this.

Justin's voice interspersed, "Are you sure? I think Randy is a better choice. Fourteen can only run, and the impact ability is too poor."

Lu Li sat up straight and looked at the bustling crowd. Everyone had already walked back one after another. The helicopter still stopped on the flat ground and did not leave. "What? Are you playing football? I can be a wide receiver." Lu Li said enthusiastically.

After standing up, Lu Li trotted out all the way, then kept waving his hands, "Throw the ball, throw the ball!"

Brandon picked up the football in his hand, took a few big strides, stepped forward, stared with the strength of his feet, twisted his waist, and then threw the football hard.

The rugby wobbled and spun in the air, high and far, full and tall parabola, long across the sky, Lu Li stared at the rugby while running back, stretched out his hands, steady on the ground Carry a football in your arms.

"Yeah!" Everyone raised their arms and cheered at the same time. This time, after running for at least 40 meters, Lu Li was able to catch the football accurately. Brandon threw it well, and Lu Li caught it even better. Everyone was excited It's too bad.

After Lu Li caught the football, he didn't stop. Following the inertia, he ran all the way to the helicopter, took his luggage, thanked the pilot, and most importantly, paid the fee.

"Is it troublesome to get a helicopter driver's license?" Lu Li asked curiously. Although buying a helicopter on the ranch is completely unnecessary, as a leisure activity, this is a very special attempt.

"Twenty hours of coach-accompanied training and more than [-] hours of flight time can be applied through the FAA." The FAA is the Federal Aviation Administration, the helicopter pilot said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with the test of a car driver's license." The difference is that the process is basically the same, pass the written test, pass the training, and pass the road test, that’s enough.”

Lu Li snapped his fingers to thank the other party, then closed the cabin door and took a few steps back.

After watching the helicopter leave, Lu Li yelled at his friends, "The quarterback is here, is anyone catching the ball?" Lu Li held up the football in his hand, and everyone started shouting busily. They all raised their hands and shouted loudly, "Fourteen, give it to me, give it to me!"

Lu Li took a few steps to run up and threw the football up into the sky.

It seems that throwing rugby seems to be a very simple sport, just like baseball, it is just throwing the ball, but in practice, because of the special appearance of rugby, the trajectory of flying in the air becomes wonderful.

Lu Li tried his best, and the rugby ball could only see the height but not the distance. It wobbled and fell, attracting everyone to rush over, playing a good game of tossing and catching, and once again turned into a sprint game—or rather , obstacle race.

Seeing everyone stumbling around, Lu Li couldn't help but raised his head and laughed loudly, nodding repeatedly, "It seems that it is more suitable for me to continue to be a wide receiver. This job of quarterback is not something anyone can do."

While laughing and laughing, the time for rest and play came to an end. After everyone helped Lu Li move his luggage back to the main house, they started preparing for the finishing work of the afternoon one after another.For them, this is the daily routine, it is really normal, everything is in order.

Lu Li was not in a hurry to go back to his room. Instead, he walked to the porch and took a look at the past. His eyes were full of greenery, bursting with vitality, which made people feel refreshed.Seeing a pot of strawberries placed on the railing of the porch, he picked them up and threw them into his mouth one by one.

Within sight, the garden is not deserted, it is still neatly manicured, the lush and rich blue reveals a surge of purple, grabbing the last tail of summer, and blooming wantonly; The sound of the wind chime, that handmade wind chime is still hanging in the memory, reminding Lu Li of Song Lingyi's memories of choosing the wind chime.

"Lu Li." A voice came from behind, calling out Lu Li's Chinese name, and without looking back, he knew it must be Li Yitong.

Turning his head, he saw Li Yitong. He was very different from the first time he met. A sky blue plaid shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbow, paired with jeans and riding boots, seemed to have fully adapted to life on the ranch; His fair skin has also been tanned, and his healthy bronze color makes his whole body clear, and the muscle lines of his body seem to be a little tighter.

Li Yitong stood where he was, a little cautious.

Although he has been at the ranch for more than two months, he is actually not familiar with Lu Li. He is still familiar with Cole, Jessica and others, not to mention Edward.However, Li Yitong will never forget that at the very beginning, Lu Li opened his arms and let him settle down here.

"What are you going to do now?" After Li Yitong opened his mouth, he didn't continue, but Lu Li asked.

Li Yitong looked at the whip in his hand, "I am responsible for driving the flock back today. Jessica and the others have all gone to help Tony. There is not much time left before the grape harvest. In the last few days, I will be the one in the evening. Come and drive the sheep back, with the help of grapes and grapefruits, the work is not difficult."

When he introduced his work, Li Yitong became familiar with him instead, which relieved his embarrassment and jerky a little, "I want to say..." Li Yitong collected his thoughts, and finally said the words, "Wait until the grapes are harvested , I’m going back to Los Angeles.”

Lu Li was a little surprised, he thought that Li Yitong was planning to stay.

Firstly, Li Yitong originally planned to stay for a month, but now two months have passed, and he still has not left; secondly, as Cole said just now, Li Yitong has fully adapted to the life on the ranch now, from his words , I can't feel Li Yitong's intention to leave at all—at least, Li Yitong didn't reveal such an intention.

Now that I suddenly heard Li Yitong's decision, it was inevitable that there was some deviation.

However, just like what Lu Li said to Li Huainan back then, staying in the ranch is neither the point nor the way out. Everyone has their own choice.The important thing is never to follow other people's decisions, but to choose the path that suits you.

In life, people are always used to follow the path of others, and go on like this in a ignorant and muddle-headed way. Only a very small number of people can understand what they want and can stick to it.

It is a good thing that Li Yitong can make up his mind.Therefore, Lu Li didn't say much, but seriously waited for Li Yitong's next post.

Seeing Lu Li listening attentively gave Li Yitong more courage. He let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face.

"I am here... very happy, and my life is very comfortable. Every day is very fulfilling and busy, and I hardly have time to think about what I have." Li Yitong scratched his head jerky, like a fledgling young man, the whole People seem to have changed, without the high-spiritedness and complaining anger of the past, the whole person seems to have been completely reborn, almost unrecognizable.

But this kind of Li Yitong is in line with his age - he is only a few years older than Lu Li, and he is still several years away from thirty.The previous appearance, on the contrary, carried too much.

Li Yitong chuckled twice, he didn't know how to express it, he just said whatever came to his mind, "But, when he relaxes occasionally, his thinking becomes clearer. It worked out."

Li Yitong finally understood that compared with the problems caused by racial discrimination, what is more important is his mentality and way of looking at and dealing with problems; Keep a fresh and exuberant heart.

When a person pays too much attention to the sight and opinions around him, he will gradually lose himself and lose himself.The ensuing confusion was like being trapped in a cocoon. I watched myself slowly suffocate and die, but I still didn't know the root of the problem.

Life is never easy and everyone has their own difficulties.If you just sit in the same place all day long, complaining about others, and not seeking change yourself, how can others provide help?Those who can help themselves should be themselves first, and only in this way can others lend a helping hand.

During the two months of living on the ranch, the real harvest is not the huge changes in life, but the subtle changes in mentality, and the whole person suddenly becomes enlightened.
