Yunding Ranch

Chapter 316
Walking along the pasture is a very interesting thing. Walking between the grass with your feet, occasionally passing through the dense grass, you can feel the slight itching of the ankles; The anxiety and heat coming down, as well as the smell of excrement, soil, and plants; along with the footsteps, gradually approaching the turbulent water vapor, the smooth mirror-like lake surface makes people feel refreshed.

Heavy stomach, warm limbs, cool breeze, walking slowly, happy and comfortable.

I really ate too much tonight. I took a walk for half an hour, which relieved a little bit of swelling. I made up for the regret of the two months in Europe in one night, and my sense of happiness is about to overflow up.

After making a big circle, Lu Li returned to the main house. He first made a cup of light green tea, then took his laptop to the porch, sat on the recliner, rocked gently, and listened to the wind chimes. Clink, and get ready.

The column of the Coolmore Racecourse series has not yet been written, and the news of the auction has not been written in time. He needs to finish the article as soon as possible and publish it as soon as possible.Otherwise, if you miss the opportunity of "New York Times" and "Time Magazine", then the loss outweighs the gain.

After turning on the computer, Lu Li collected his thoughts.What he said at the auction that day was just a moment of quick wit. After he calmed down and thought about it, he naturally couldn't be so rough. After thinking about it, Lu Li's hands flew quickly on the keyboard.

While typing and thinking, this working mode reminded Lu Li of his time in college. He picked up his teacup and took a big sip of green tea. The hot tea flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and the cold air of the night danced gently on the surface of his skin. As soon as his stomach warmed up, the cold air around him also dissipated.

A full meal, a cup of tea, a moonlight, the sound of wind chimes, words flowing from under his fingertips, combined into an article, this is the life he dreams of, no less, no more, this is enough .

Suddenly, a small figure jumped over and jumped into Lu Li's arms. This startled Lu Li, and when he looked down, he realized that it was actually Bucky.

"Hey, buddy, what's the matter with you today?" Lu Li looked at Bucky in his arms, and he adjusted his posture and lay down in Lu Li's arms.This kind of Bucky really makes people uncomfortable.

Lu Li raised his hand and stroked Bucky's smooth hair, "Dude, are you planning to sleep with me?" Lu Li laughed helplessly, he was really not used to this state, a little guy lying on his lap, this It distracts him, which makes his job suddenly difficult.

But Bucky didn't care at all. He adjusted a comfortable posture, narrowed his eyes, and fell asleep, which made Lu Li laugh dumbfounded.

Before he could say anything more, Teddy knocked open the screen door, then lay down beside Lu Li's feet, gently rubbing his head against Lu Li's calf, whining softly, coquettishly.

Lu Li chuckled, "What's the matter with you today?" He bent down, touched Teddy's head, then looked at Bucky who was nestled on his lap, and finally shook his head, "Okay Well, you guys just stay here, baby, don't interrupt my inspiration. I, uh, I'll give it a try and get on with my work."

Letting out a long breath, Lu Li regained his composure and started working again.

Teddy and Bucky are really well-behaved, and the crisp wind chimes are ringing continuously, making all the noise gradually settle down. The company of the two little guys not only did not distract him, but made him feel at ease. Work just got smoother.

Picking up the teacup, he took another sip, only to find that the cup had bottomed out. He was thinking about whether he should stand up and add hot water, when he heard a voice asking from the side, "Do you want me to add water for you?" ?”

Lu Li looked up and found Brandon standing at the door. He nodded and handed the cup to Brandon, "Thank you."

Brandon turned around and went into the room. When he came out again, the glass was refilled and placed on the low stool next to the recliner. Lu Li thanked him again, but he noticed from the corner of his eyes that Brandon didn't leave, and raised his head again. Come, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

"No, no, you continue to work, I hope I didn't disturb your work." Brandon waved his hand and said dully.

But Lu Li heard something strange. He temporarily closed the laptop, and then put it aside, "My work is almost done, and there is only a little finishing touch. Do you have time to chat?"

Brandon sat down on the railing of the porch diagonally opposite Lu Li, adjusted his expression, and seemed to be thinking about how to speak, but Lu Li took the initiative to say, "I have something I want to talk to you about. "

Brandon froze for a moment, but didn't think much about it. He nodded towards Lu Li and cast his gaze, indicating that he was listening.

"Jasmin's due date is next month. We all know that this is your first child. You have been looking forward to this day." Lu Li said with a smile, "Why don't you take a period of vacation and stay at home?" Spend time with Jia Siming and take care of her, you have been traveling with me in Europe in the past, although Jia Siming did not complain, it is estimated that she is very dissatisfied with me behind the scenes."

Lu Li's teasing tone made Brandon twitch slightly. He originally wanted to talk to Lu Li about asking for leave, but he didn't expect Lu Li to bring it up.

"Besides, you can also accompany the children and experience the joy of being a father." Lu Li added, "So, you can rest and adjust for three months. After that, we still need you to come back as soon as possible. The ranch is inseparable. open you."

"Three months?" Brandon showed a surprised expression and shook his head again and again, "No, absolutely not. Now is the most important period for the ranch. Not only does someone need to take good care of Jasmine, but it will also be the period when the horses on the ranch will be pregnant. , in such a busy world, how can I take three months off."

Brandon stood up excitedly, and the expression on his face obviously became richer. "We all know that taking care of Thoroughbreds is not that simple. They are more sensitive and emotional..."

"Brandon, Brandon." Lu Li interrupted Brandon's words, "Of course I know, these things are very troublesome. I went with you at Coomo Racecourse, remember?" Lu Li didn't sound so serious. Worrying, with a relaxed smile on his face, "The work on the ranch is very important, and at the same time, life is also very important."

"I know that adding a new member to the family is a major change for anyone." Lu Li's expression gradually became serious, "The work on the ranch will always be here, every day, every week, It happens every month, and it keeps changing; but family changes, it’s different, every change is different. You don’t want to miss it.”

Brandon was not good at talking, and he was full of emotions at this time, but he didn't know how to express, "But what about the ranch? What about the thoroughbred horses?" He also made a special trip to receive professional training at the Coolmore Racecourse. Hand it off to some other cowboy?This will not work.

"This is where you need your help. I need you to introduce a reliable cowboy to take over your job within the next three months." Lu Li also had a preliminary plan in mind, "We can rearrange the arrangement reasonably. Let’s take a look at the work on the horse farm and slow down a little bit, just like a vineyard, don’t complete the breeding in one go, you can do it in stages and slowly.”

Brandon thought about it carefully, but couldn't make a decision.

During the past six months, Lu Li has always supported his work and never pointed fingers too much, giving him enough respect and opportunities for development.The next period of time was the busiest time at Yunding Ranch, but he had to leave, hand over the heavy work to his friends, and put aside the thoroughbred horse that took so much effort to bring to the ranch.

This is unfair to Lu Li and the ranch.

Family is very important to him. This is the reason why he gave up the rodeo in the first place. It is also the reason why he entered Yunding Ranch. He will never forget it; but Yunding Ranch is also important, not only because of Lu Li's trust and support, but also because of Lu Li's trust and support. Also because thoroughbred horses are his ultimate pursuit in the professional field.

Career, family, Brandon encountered such a choice for the first time.

Brandon sighed softly, "I know, I will choose to take a vacation." After hesitating, he still couldn't leave Jia Siming at home alone. This child, the two of them have been looking forward to it for too long, family and career. The priority is always family, "Three months is too long, though."

This time, it was Brandon's turn to prevent Lu Li from speaking, and he said vigorously, "I'll separate the vacation. I have four days off a week and three days of work. I arrange my own time and come here flexibly. In this way, I Jia Siming can be taken good care of, and the work here on the ranch will not be wasted."

Since there is no way to have both, the only solution is for him to work harder.

Lu Li looked at Brandon carefully, and shook his head helplessly, "Brandon, you can arrange the three-month vacation by yourself. In fact, you don't need to work so hard. Of course, if you want to stay outside of your family, take care of it. Work, for me, is naturally welcomed with hands up."

Regardless of whether Brandon agrees or not, Jasmine is also a member of the Yunding Ranch family, and Lu Li will also communicate with the other cowboys to share Brandon's work so that Brandon can accompany Jasmine to give birth smoothly.

Brandon didn't care at all, and still focused on his own thoughts, "I'll introduce two cowboys to replace my job."

"Two?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

Brandon nodded, "Now the work on horses has begun to increase. Even without the production of Jasmine, the ranch needs to increase manpower. I wanted to suggest to you that my focus of work is slightly tilted towards Thoroughbred horses, and then put Passing skills on to the new cowboys and hopefully getting the ranch back on track."

After finishing speaking, Brandon looked at Lu Li, "There should be no problem with the ranch's funds, right?"

Lu Li laughed heartily, "No problem. Always be prepared."
