Yunding Ranch

Chapter 402
"Dear Fourteen, happy birthday to you!"

The joyful singing merged into one piece, rushing towards Lu Li.

Only then did Lu Li realize that it wasn't just Cole, but also the bright smiling faces of Tony, Jessica, and Randy, as well as the stand-up singing of Liu Xiaoyan, Li Huainan, Lily, and Ronald, as well as the singing of Justin and Finley. Loudly echoed, as well as Brandon's stern singing and Jasmine's uncontrollable smile, Robert and Chloe's chorus, Adam's unscrupulous big smile, and Scarlett's soft singing with a sweet smile ,besides……

No, everyone, everyone in the room was singing, literally everyone!Moreover, everyone spoke in unison, and all eyes focused on Lu Li's shoulders, which proved beyond doubt that they did not have their own troubles and that the current development trend is correct.

After singing a complete birthday song, Lu Li still didn't come back to his senses. Holding a bowl of dumplings in both hands, he stood there in a daze, staring stupidly at the cake in front of him, and then at Ke Well, I have no idea what happened.My head was full of question marks, and I couldn't find an answer.

Shouldn't this be a party to celebrate Jasmine's successful production?Shouldn't this be a party celebrating Brandon's rise to fatherhood?Shouldn't this be celebrating the little princess' first birthday since she came into the world?Shouldn't this be a secret surprise party to play tricks on Brandon?

So what's going on now, what's going on here?Why is the painting style completely wrong?Why is he alone in the dark?Can someone come over and explain to him?
Cole pointed to the cake in front of him, and said loudly, "Quick, make a wish, this is your first birthday after arriving at the ranch."

"Uh..." Lu Li was stunned for a moment, but his head still hadn't come to his senses, but Tony, who was standing beside him, couldn't bear it any longer. He hopped over and grabbed Lu Li's shoulder, "November [-] Two days, it's your birthday, right?"

Lu Li finally came to his senses at this moment, and asked subconsciously, "Really?" He thought about it seriously for a while, and then remembered amidst the laughter of Cole, Tony and the others: Indeed, November [-]th was indeed his birthday.

However, he completely forgot!
It's real, no joke.He really forgot.

During the recent period, he has been completely dizzy, since Halloween, there is almost no time to rest.In addition to the ranch running at high speed, he is also busy writing a new manuscript, not the Artisan series, but a new idea.

Before the "New York Times" invited articles, Lu Li wrote a total of eight articles, two of which were shot down, and only six were successfully reprinted; unexpectedly, the article received a good response, with a very gratifying click rate and forwarding volume , For this reason, Joseph wrote him a special email to express his affirmation.

This gave Lu Li more confidence. He is now full of energy and motivation to start writing manuscripts. Every day, besides working on the ranch, after riding a chestnut for half an hour, he will sit on the porch to conceive, conceive. It was like a spring, so busy that it couldn't stop.Not to mention his birthday, he doesn't even have a clue what day it is or what day of the week it is.

Now that Cole reminded him, Lu Li remembered it.

Song Lingyi called him twice yesterday. He was busy in the warehouse, but he didn't answer. Later, he saw the missed call reminder and was about to call back. As a result, there was some commotion in the stables. Adam and Scarlett were in a hurry. Cole yelled at him to go help together, so that he forgot later.

If I guessed correctly, Song Lingyi called to congratulate him on his birthday.However, this year is just a small birthday, Lu Li officially turned 23, not a grand birthday, so Song Lingyi didn't call frequently.

Today is his birthday, that's a fact.Even so, Lu Li was still at a loss, not understanding how all this happened, "How did you know about my birthday?"

He doesn't remember saying that he once said it on the ranch. To be precise, he didn't celebrate his own birthday after coming to the United States. The only time was when he was 21 years old. Then he went to a bar to celebrate—the United States valued the age of 20 more than 21, because it was finally legal to drink.

Seeing Lu Li with question marks all over his head, Tony and the others thought they had made a mistake, so they all cast their gazes at Cole.

Cole remained calm, shrugged, and said with a smile, "I've seen your green card before."

It was only then that Lu Li suddenly realized that Cole was the one who handled many procedures at the ranch.It's just that he didn't expect Cole to write down such details.Afterwards, Lu Li turned his head and looked around. Even though he didn't speak, Cole understood the meaning of the look.

"Yes, everyone knows." Cole's words made everyone around him smile brightly, "You are the only one kept in the dark. I only passed Tony and Randy yesterday, We planned to hold a small party today, and we notified Lily and Uncle Li, but in the end, something unexpected happened, so the party got bigger and bigger."

Jia Siming laughed softly, "My sin." The birth of the little princess obviously disrupted the overall plan.

Cole also smiled, "To avoid you this afternoon, we re-planned and re-arranged, and it really took a lot of effort. Fortunately, we finally succeeded." Successfully tricked Lu Li.

"Yes, yes, your sense of smell is too sensitive!"

"When Cole and I were hiding in the warehouse before, you broke in suddenly, and I was really scared to pee!"

"Cole called me out like a secret agent, surreptitiously, I thought something happened."

……

Everyone laughed and talked about their experiences, even Adam and Scarlett were no exception.After this afternoon, after this party, the two of them integrated into the group of Yunding Ranch like never before. For the first time, the two of them got a glimpse of the daily life of the ranch, and the busy work rhythm finally slowed down temporarily.

Such happy times are always good.Especially at the surprise party, the two newborns who had just joined the ranch were not excluded, which really made both of them full of energy.

Lu Li froze in place like this, quietly looking at the group of people in front of him, full of enthusiasm and smiles, everyone was chirping and sharing the "thrills and excitement" of this afternoon, that cheerful and lively smile, In the faint halo of candlelight, a wonderful light burst out, as if it was enough to illuminate the entire night——

That was Cole. When Lu Li first arrived at the ranch, he kindly guided him, took over the ranch without any obstacles, and became his best partner.

That was Lily. She enthusiastically introduced Lu Li to the social stage of New Braunfels Township, which opened up the situation. She was like a mother, taking care of Lu Li in every way.

That was Liu Xiaoyan, who gave warm hospitality in a strange country; that was Chloe, a woman who showed off her cowboy demeanor heroically; pasture.

……

Every face is so familiar yet so strange, and the stories in his mind emerge one after another. Unknowingly, they make up his life and the Yunding Ranch.Now, they are like family and like friends, preparing a surprise party, singing birthday songs, reminding him of a life that even he himself has forgotten...

He is so happy and so lucky.This gift from Liz became the starting point for him to build a new life, and it also became the beginning of his new journey in life.He felt Liz's warmth like never before.It was the last way a mother remembers her son.

"Hey, Fourteen, aren't you crying?" Randy yelled nonchalantly, his eyes all focused on Lu Li in an instant.

The slightly red eye sockets, the slightly red nose tip, and the slight smile on the corner of the mouth, but it couldn't hide the thin layer of water mist under his eyes, he looked really embarrassed.

Lu Li didn't raise his hand to wipe his eyes, but calmly met everyone's gaze, spread his hands, and said in a strong nasal voice, "This is what you want to see, isn't it? Otherwise, why would you have a surprise party, and Did you spend so much time avoiding me? A surprise surprise at the last moment."

A faint warmth surged in his chest, which was the meaning of life and the meaning of life.People are always searching and confused, some people spend their whole life not finding it, but he is lucky.This piece of land, everything here, finally let him find it.

The self-deprecating ridicule made everyone laugh. Cole was the first to blow the whistle, and then whistles, cheers, and shouts sounded, and the surprise party officially turned into a birthday party. It was extremely joyful, "Blow out the candles! Blow out the candles Blow out the candles!" Everyone started applauding and shouting.

Lu Li lifted the dumpling in his hand and said with a smile, "At least, allow me to put down the main course?"

At this time, everyone saw Lu Li's funny appearance, holding a bowl of dumplings in both hands, facing the cake, but there were faint tears in his eyes. Coupled with his self-deprecating expression, everyone burst into laughter in an instant.This is definitely the most special birthday party ever.

Randy stepped forward with a stride, and stretched out his hand to receive it.Lu Li didn't say much, just handed it over, and then Randy started screaming, "Hot, hot!" The funny jumping appearance made everyone laugh, and Lu Li quickly grabbed it with his fingertips. The earlobe is touched, and the temperature cools down quickly.

But Lu Li didn't immediately stand in front of the cake, but stretched out his right hand towards Jia Siming, motioning for her to join.

Jia Siming didn't know why, but he still held the little princess in his arms, and shook his head slightly, "This is your moment."

Lu Li laughed, "Today is also her birthday. Her arrival is not an accident, but a blessing. Even if it is an accident, this is the most beautiful accident in my life."
