Yunding Ranch

Chapter 422
I don’t know when was the last time it snowed in Dezhou, but what is certain is that so far this year, this heavy snow has been holding back for too long, and after the gates are opened, it seems that it can no longer hold back.

This first snow was getting bigger and stronger, and the blizzard kept knocking on the car windows, but there was no sound of wind, only snowflakes kept falling, and the whistling sound was almost swallowed up by the open plain. The crazy snow and the peaceful scene have a strong sense of conflict, creating a unique aesthetic feeling.

Sitting behind the steering wheel was Cole. He didn't dare to drive too fast because he was worried about slippery roads; but he was also worried that if he drove slowly, more and more snow would accumulate and the tires would be in trouble if they got stuck in mud.Fortunately, the distance from the Black Mane Horse Ranch back to the Yunding Ranch is not far away. It usually takes 10 to 10 minutes by car. After controlling the speed, I saw the familiar scene in about [-] minutes.

Cole didn't drive to the parking lot, but parked the car directly beside the garden.From the parking lot back to the main house, there is a distance of four to 500 meters. Seeing that the heavy snow tonight does not seem to stop, walking is inconvenient, so I simply turned off the car next to the garden.

Cole turned his head and looked at Lu Li in the passenger seat. He was sticking to the window at this moment, watching the heavy snow falling all over the sky. Such a scene is quite rare even in New York.What's more, in the brightly lit city of New York, it's almost impossible to see the wonderful scenery in the snow, but it's just dark and just entering the forest; but the pasture is different, and the vast and distant plain can clearly see the large swaths of the sky. The large snowflakes are spectacular.

Cole's eyes were a little dark, he hesitated to speak, but he didn't know how to speak.

Lu Li noticed the quiet atmosphere and Cole's gaze. He turned his head, saw Cole's bewildered expression, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Are you planning to confess to me? I think it's better for us to be friends."

"Pfft." Cole was directly amused by Lu Li's teasing. It was obviously not a happy atmosphere, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, and he glanced at Lu Li helplessly, "I want to ask you, what are we going to do tomorrow? Don't go to Blackmane Ranch and apologize to Lawrence and Joel?"

Cole's words were a little difficult. He shrugged and tried to relax, but it was still difficult, "I just think...we had some misunderstandings before..."

Before that, they maliciously speculated that the reason why Lily never mentioned the two sons was because they had a closer relationship with Lily, and they took it for granted that the responsibility was shifted to the two strangers without any burden; but now, the truth of the matter The truth finally revealed, it was not what they had guessed, but that everyone had their own difficulties.

Cole couldn't help feeling a little strange, but he didn't know if it was for Lawrence and Joel, or for Ronald and Lily.

"There's no need for an apology. It was nothing at first, but after a special apology, it's more embarrassing." Lu Li shook his head, rejecting Cole's idea.In normal times, the best way to bring up such a misunderstanding is in a half-joking way, expressing apology and having an open and honest conversation, but after tonight, things are different.

"We have to learn a lesson from now on." It's not just Cole, but Lu Li is also the same. He slanders Lawrence and Joel in his heart, and even hints at it. , the reaction of Lawrence and Joel at that time was also reasonably explained.

"Before we really understand the situation, we can't judge others at will. Only we can understand our own situation and situation. It is always easy to criticize others condescendingly, but we can't really understand what the other person has experienced and what they are suffering. " Lu Li couldn't help but sigh a little. He knew these truths before, but he hadn't really experienced them, so he still couldn't empathize with them. "It's like allergies. Some people are allergic to peanuts, and eating them by mistake may lead to death, but others Not knowing why, but blaming him for sulking and throwing a fit for refusing his own peanut butter sandwich."

Everyone is a unique individual, different, this difference may be a good thing, it may be a bad thing, it may be a big thing, it may be a small thing.However, before everything is known, making judgments arbitrarily and drawing conclusions is not only irresponsible to the other party, but also irresponsible to oneself.Pride and prejudice hurt more than just one side.

François Guizot, the No.20 second Prime Minister of France, once said, "The reason why people speak with certainty is because they know too little." Lu Li knew this sentence before, but he didn't understand it until today. .

Cole didn't speak, just nodded silently.Thinking of Lily and Ronald, Lawrence and Joel, I can't help but fall silent. Even as bystanders, they don't know how to solve it, let alone the parties involved?
This Christmas Eve, because of the raging blizzard, there was a trace of waves in the tranquility.

"Come on, let's go inside." Lu Li's voice broke the brief silence in the carriage, "If you don't go in, you will probably be buried here."

The sarcasm made Cole chuckle, "You go in first, I'll go check it out."

Lu Li stopped opening the car door, "What? Is there any question?"

"No, just go and have a look. It hasn't snowed in Texas for several years, so I don't know how the flocks and cattle are. Besides, there are those delicate horses." Cole showed a "you know" expression ——The horses in the ranch have just finished mating, and now is the most delicate time, especially the thoroughbred horses.

Brandon originally planned to come to the ranch to be on duty, but after all, he still couldn't let go of these newly pregnant horses. He thought, live in Yunding Ranch with Jasmine and Victoria, and spend this holiday.But Lu Li resolutely rejected it. This was the first Christmas for the family of three. If Brandon lived on the ranch, he would have to take care of the horses from time to time, so there would not be much vacation time left.

Brandon didn't insist on it, but before going back, he told Cole repeatedly, lest the group of pregnant mares would not be taken care of properly.

Lu Li nodded, "Then I'll go there with you." Cole was about to refuse, but Lu Li immediately said, "Just stroll around and check. If you need help, I can help, and then we will come back to open the present together .Today is Christmas Eve, I am the only one at home, this atmosphere is not right."

Cole laughed dumbfounded, and didn't continue to refuse. The two got out of the car and walked towards the stables first against the blizzard.

The snowflakes are really too big. It was already spectacular when viewed through the car window before, but now it is even more exaggerated when you are in it, as if the pillow fight has finally lost control. Soft feathers are flying all over the sky, and the sight is tightly blocked. It didn't hurt on the face, but it was a little itchy. I wanted to sneeze but I couldn't. If I didn't pay attention, my feet would be caught by stones, and it became more and more difficult to walk.

When passing by the sheep pen, Lu Li suddenly realized, "Why don't we just drive over here?"

Cole couldn't help but pause, and thought about this question seriously, and then found that there was no answer.The two looked at each other, only to find that the snowflakes were so dense that they couldn't even exchange eyes. This was so funny, and with a poof, both of them laughed.

But when I go back to drive at this time, the road is not close.So, the two of them could only move forward one by one.

When he walked into the stable, a warm mist hit his face, and then he felt the stiff numbness of his cheeks and fingertips, like countless thorns, and he fainted bit by bit.Only then did the tense muscles realize that, hidden under the fluttering snow, the temperature kept dropping, and the cold in the middle of the night began to exert its power.

Raising his head, Lu Li couldn't help being stunned. The stable in front of him looked magnificent, with an evergreen mistletoe hanging above each compartment, tied with a red string, and paired with two red Sour fruit; a huge bell hangs upside down above the aisle in the center—it can even be described as a bell, and a half-person-high Christmas tree is placed below it, with a few bells simply hung; the door panel of the compartment Red ribbons were randomly wrapped around the top, and the simple decoration brought out the atmosphere of Christmas.

"Wow, Brandon arranged all of this?" Lu Li hadn't been to the stable for a few days, so he was really taken aback.

"Brandon, Adam, and Scarlett, they're busy together." Cole was not surprised, and walked down the aisle, and occasionally he could hear the restless neighing of horses, and Cole patted it skillfully their necks, and throw some carrots in.

Lu Li also took steps to check the safety measures on the roof of the stable and the surrounding area.While it's not certain if Blizzards and Rainstorms deal damage differently, it's safe to say they both have to be a bit more cautious.

Thoroughbreds are really difficult to take care of, and they are very restless in the snowy weather.Lu Li and Cole had to slow down and comfort them slowly. It took half an hour before they calmed down a bit.

After leaving the stable, he came to the cowshed. When he saw a golden bow with a diameter of about three meters in the center, Lu Li was stunned, and then laughed heartily, "This is Jessica's handwriting. very sure."

Not only the exaggerated and gorgeous golden bows, but also the thin green bows between the bullpens, and the piano version of famous Christmas songs flowing in the corners, flowing down like gurgling water.The entire cattle pen was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere, so the Angus cattle were uncharacteristically quiet.This is really too rare.

Cole has seen this golden bow many times, but every time it is still the same shock, "We each dress up the workplace according to our own style. This is really Jessica's handwriting."

"What about Randy and Tony?" This was the first thought in Lu Li's mind.
