Yunding Ranch

Chapter 462
Just like that, Lu Li's big family settled down in Yunding Ranch.

English is still their biggest obstacle. Fortunately, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi are here for the second time, so there is no need for Lu Li to worry, and everything is relatively easy to arrange; Song Kongming and Zhang Wenyin are both trying to speak, Although the progress is not much, at least it will not be tied down.

The so-called communication, language is never a problem, but a heart that actively tries and communicates actively.The quiet and simple life on the ranch and the warm and friendly attitude of the cowboys made them adapt quickly.

Before coming to the ranch, they stayed in Los Angeles for a whole week, so that the day they arrived was already the 28th of the Chinese New Year, and there was only one day left before the Chinese New Year.So, after resting and adjusting for most of the day, they started to prepare.This time, the scale was obviously different. Due to the presence of Yuan Qingzhu and Song Lingyi, Lu Li stood aside and could hardly help. The two took over the entire ranch—no, it should be the entire kitchen.

Early in the morning, Yuan Qingzhu and Song Lingyi started to get busy, while Lu Li led the others to start cleaning, and posted couplets and the word "Fu" at the door; after that, he and the cowboys finished the daily affairs of the ranch, and sat around in the afternoon Together, start making dumplings.

When Lily and Ronald came over, the dumpling work had just started, and Ronald was the first to roll up his sleeves and yelled, "I want to help, I want to help!" Next to them were Li Huainan, Liu Xiaoyan, and Li Yitong.

Li Yitong specially asked for leave this time, just to come back to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Today is the [-]th of the new year. The three of them came here early in the morning to help with cleaning, food preparation, and... translation.Li Huainan and the others couldn't understand the situation of Yuan Qingzhu, Song Qingyun and others very well. When they first came to the United States, they all went through that period of time, and now they help out, and they empathize with them.

Seeing Ronald running wildly, Liu Xiaoyan yelled with a smile, "Late, you are all late. Could it be that you are lazy on purpose?" This is her way of welcoming, even Teddy and Hulk The two little guys also yelled, and Ronald touched their heads affectionately, smiling all over his face.

"Don't worry, we will make amends right away!" Ronald said again and again, seeing a series of strange faces beside the dining table, he said quickly, "Hello everyone, I am Ronald, and my black-maned horse ranch is here. Not far away, Fourteen and I are in frequent contact, he is a wonderful young man, Lily and I both like him very much..."

"Ronald, Ronald." Liu Xiaoyan stopped repeatedly, meeting Ronald's puzzled eyes, "They should only understand the first sentence, knowing that your name is Ronald, but they can't understand the rest .”

Ronald froze in place: After knowing Lu Li for a year, it was the first time he knew about the language barrier, and he was immediately stunned.

Lily, who was standing behind, walked straight towards Lu Li, gave Lu Li a big hug, and asked, "Where are the others? I still want to say hello one by one. Would you like to take me around."

Lu Li still had flour in his hands, and moved away, trying to avoid touching Lily. After hugging, he said with a smile, "You go directly, they are in the kitchen and garden, just say hello. If you don’t understand English, then you can tell your story, and you will eventually find a way to communicate.”

Lily laughed brightly, and patted Lu Li on the back, "By the way, someone is looking for you at the door, I hope it won't be too abrupt."

Lu Li opened his arms and made a gesture of warm welcome, "Of course not. Today is the Chinese New Year, just like Christmas, we welcome every visitor. Justin and Finley will come over later, By the way, Jasmine is currently on the second floor, coaxing Victoria to take a nap."

Lu Li looked left and right, but he didn't see a cloth for wiping his hands, so he simply walked towards the door with his hands full of flour, and he didn't forget to yell to Lily, "You do what you want. I think you're right here. It should be very familiar, no worse than me." This ridicule made Lili laugh out loud.

He walked quickly to the door, pushed the screen door open with his shoulders, and then saw three figures standing on the garden path, one standing on the steps of the porch, smoking a cigarette; the other two standing in a large blue hat Beside the flowers, they didn't speak, and seemed to be admiring the beauty of the garden.

It was Joel, Lawrence, and a stranger who looked a little older than Lawrence, with a neat beard, short clean hair, and a strong figure, taller than Brandon.Lu Li guessed that it should be Josh.

"Hey, guys, why are you here?" Lu Li was genuinely surprised, and he didn't hide his surprise at all. He spoke in an extremely slow pace for a while, and he didn't expect these two visitors at all.

"My mother said that there are delicious things here, is it true?" Joel was impatiently smoking a cigarette, smashing his mouth, spitting out the circles of his eyes very quickly.

We don't get along much, but Lu Li can guess that Joel is a typical knife-mouthed bean curd heart, and has an impatient personality, "If you put out the cigarette, then this is true; otherwise, I can only ask you to leave, the house There's a group of people who can't smoke secondhand smoke."

Joel glanced at Lu Li, smoking even more urgently, muttering words like "trouble" in his mouth, but he didn't complain to Lu Li directly, he threw away the cigarette butt in a blink of an eye, crushed it with the sole of his foot, completely extinguished it, and casually He said, "I'm going in." Then he opened the door of the main house and went straight in.

"Fourteen, this is Josh; Josh, this is fourteen." Lawrence introduced.

Lu Li's guess was right, Josh stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, "Nice to meet you, Fourteen."

Lu Li looked at his hands, which were covered in flour, and laughed dumbly, "My master is really rude." Then he opened his arms, stepped forward, and gave Josh a hug, "I know, I know, It’s not that popular in New York. But this is Texas, so you’ll have to live with it.”

Josh laughed, "You are just like Lawrence said, you are a humorous guy, and you have a New York style of humor."

"I'll take this as a compliment." Lu Li separated from Josh, and then he looked at Lawrence with a smile. Bringing Josh back together, of course, the biggest shock was that they came back with Lily and Ronald.

Even though Lily and Ronald went to New York to attend the engagement ceremony, as Lu Li and Lawrence said before: they need time, which breaks their lifelong belief, even if they are willing to attend the engagement ceremony, it does not mean that the shackles in their hearts are The smoke cleared.

However, today they appeared together in the Yunding Ranch, which was so unexpected that the turmoil in Lu Li's chest still hasn't calmed down.

Lawrence caught the surprise in Lu Li's eyes at once, and immediately understood the meaning, "They don't agree, but they can't object." Lu Li suddenly realized, and Lawrence said immediately, "After the engagement, Josh and I need a vacation. Knowing that Yunding Ranch is preparing for the Chinese New Year this year, I thought, what better holiday than this?"

"As far as I know, a month ago, Texas was the worst resort in history." Lu Li half-jokingly said, "But... I still welcome it. Chinese people and Texas people have one thing in common, hospitality."

Lawrence stepped forward and gave Lu Li a hug.He didn't say anything, just hugged her hard, but didn't let go immediately, just hugged for a long, long time.Without any words, the hidden gratitude was passed on to Lu Li accurately.

Josh, who was standing by, joked, "Should I be jealous in such a situation?"

This made both Lawrence and Lu Li laugh, and before Lu Li could answer, Lawrence said seriously, "Yes, you should be nervous." Then the two of them looked at Lu Li's bewildered and stunned face, and they both burst into laughter. laugh it out.

Lawrence pointed to the inside of the room, "Is there any work that we can help with?"

Lu Li came back to his senses, and looked up and down Lawrence and Josh's sports attire. Today, the two of them didn't choose suits, but came here in casual clothes. He originally planned to be polite, but after thinking about it, it became clear. He said, "Bonfire, the ranch needs to build a bonfire, and we are going to roast a whole sheep, which will take a lot of time. Can you two do it? I'll send a few more helpers out."

This is the truth. Originally, we waited for Cole and Brandon to finish their work before building. Now that there are helpers coming to the door, Lu Li doesn't mind starting a little earlier.

"Where's the firewood?" Lawrence rolled up his sleeves and got ready to work without saying a word. At the same time, he didn't forget to open the door of the house. "Joel, come out and help. If you don't help, you won't have food."

Lawrence left immediately, went around the garden, and walked towards the warehouse; immediately after, Joel came out cursing and rambling, and followed.Instead, Josh fell behind and stood there, looking at Lu Li blankly, not knowing what to do.

"A pure city boy?" Lu Li recognized it at a glance, and said with a smile. After getting Josh's nod of approval, "Don't worry, you will adapt. Even if you don't adapt, you will find your place."

Josh immediately showed a big smile, "Then I look forward to seeing it." After finishing speaking, Josh quickly ran over in the direction the two left, still yelling, "Huh, This looks so different from Texas in the movie. Are you sure we are on the right map?"

Watching the three of them walk around the garden, their backs gradually disappearing, Lu Li couldn't help but laugh. It seems that the New Year's Eve dinner tonight will be extremely lively.

"Wow, I haven't been here for more than half a year, and I don't know this place. Excuse me, is this still Yunding Ranch? Or, did I find the wrong place? It's like the first time I came here?"

Turning around, it was Fred.
