Yunding Ranch

Chapter 463 Lunar New Year
There were indeed too many accidents today, but Fred?This was definitely an accident within an accident. Lu Li didn't expect Fred's visit at all, so that his brain couldn't handle it for a while, and he froze on the spot.

It was this brief daze that made Fred laugh out loud, "Why, don't you plan on welcoming your old friend back?"

"Jesus Christ, Almighty God, Fred-Damn-Carter." Lu Li finally came to his senses, without hiding his surprise, he strode forward, "Don't tell me, you just came back from Alaska." Seeing Fred's smug expression, Lu Li couldn't help but want to touch his forehead, "Shut up, I refuse to hear any adventure stories about Alaska, and I also refuse to hear any updates about your excellent work, you tell me, in the past You've had a terrible time these past few months."

Lu Li raised his hand and was about to punch his flour-stained fist, which made Fred step back again and again, "Your hand, your hand." But Lu Li didn't care at all, and directly punched Fred. De's shoulder, "Yes, I did it on purpose. You must accept the punishment."

"To tell you the truth, in the past few months, my life has been extremely bad. I can't eat enough, and I can't wear warm clothes. It's like fleeing from a refugee." Fred made a bitter expression, babbling As she spoke, the joy and excitement between her brows could not be concealed at all, or in other words, she had no intention of concealing it.

Lu Li rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Okay, I surrender." After finishing speaking, Fred immediately gave Lu Li a big hug and said enthusiastically, "Old man, long time no see!"

But Lu Li raised his voice and shouted, "I knew it! I knew you had a wonderful time!" Then, Lu Li lowered his shoulders, "Who am I kidding, you are living the best time of your life! Days. So, tell me quickly, what about Alaska? Is it deserted, and then there are glaciers and snowfields to no end."

Fred also laughed heartily, "Brother, can you let me take a breath first? Then let me eat something? I was serious just now. In Alaska, driving for three or 10 minutes may not meet a single person." , let alone bars, I often feel like my willpower is being tortured."

"Of course, of course." Lu Li deliberately showed exaggerated "sympathy", "Poor Fred, who was tortured in the primitive wilderness, and now he has finally returned to civilized society?" A joke is enough, Lu Li and Fred walked towards the main house side by side, "Have you seen a movie called 'Into the Wild' before?"

It's been a long time, but there is no barrier between the two of them at all. It seems that the two of them were still drinking and chatting last night, and they met again today.

That's what friends are.Some friends need to be in touch every day to maintain the relationship; some friends, even if they meet every day, they are still not close friends;In modern society, people can be called "friends", but there are still differences between friends.

Some friends, not family, are better than family.

……

Pushing open the door of the main house, a burst of warm air rushes in, chirping discussions, joyful sounds, and the sound of pots and pans. The atmosphere of the holiday is so strong that people can't help but relax. Indulge in it.

"Bonfire? Why do you light a bonfire outside? Is dinner going to be eaten outside?"

"What... is it called... a bonfire...?"

"It's fire. A camp fire."

"So, are we going to eat outside? Or inside?"

"I just watched, oh my god, there's an entire hearth full of prepared dishes, and my grandmother is so good, it looks like there's no end to it. I bet even the Italian table is not as good as tonight! "

"Woof woof, woof woof."

"Bucky! Teddy! Hulk! Don't make trouble! Now is not the time to throw the ball, you can play with the little ones, where are the little ones?"

"It's much more interesting than Christmas. Are there any special customs in Chinese New Year? For example, must eat food? Must play games? And so on."

"What are you talking about? I heard Lunar New Year."

"Yes, cousin, tell me about the Lunar New Year."

"Uh……"

"Hey! Who is this! Fred! How did you come here? Jesus Christ, Fourteen said not long ago, You went to Alaska, how did you come back? When did you come back? Come, come, come and meet us Tell me about your big adventure, every time Shisi sees your status update, he will chatter with us about your envy and jealousy, which makes us very curious."

Amidst the hustle and bustle of discussion, someone finally noticed the appearance of Fred and Lu Li, and immediately expressed their welcome.In an instant, all eyes were on Fred, and the chatter was endless, just like Lu Li's performance before, laughing and talking, "Alaska" immediately became the most discussed key among everyone. word.

Turning their heads, Fred and Lu Li exchanged glances.Lu Li shrugged and smiled, "I told you that this is your second home."

Fred bumped Lu Li hard with his shoulder, and laughed heartily. The smell of home was so intoxicating. He couldn't help but took a deep breath. The exhaustion of the journey seemed to have disappeared, and then He left his dirty backpack at the door, ignored Lu Li, showed a bright smile, and greeted his long-lost friends.

The crowd suddenly became lively, Fred was an acquaintance, and he met Zhang Wenyin and Song Kongming in a blink of an eye, and shouted that he must meet Lu Li's grandmother.The hall, which was already very lively, became even more noisy because of Fred's arrival, and it could even be called a noise public nuisance.

Fortunately, this is a ranch. The biggest advantage is that the neighbors are very far away, and the damage caused by the noise is limited.So, they can party, shout, and have fun.

Lu Li knew that Fred could get used to it right away without any worries, so he immediately put himself into his "work" again.Busy, busy, still busy.

Justin and Finley came later, followed by Robert and Chloe, and finally Sean, Edward and others also came. This was the biggest feast in the history of Yunding Ranch - Halloween activities are not counted, Everyone heard that Lu Li spent the traditional Chinese New Year here, and they all came over to experience different cultural fun together.

In a blink of an eye, nearly forty people gathered in the entire ranch, including quite a few children. It seems that at least four tables will be set up tonight. Compared with the wedding anniversary party of the McCartneys, it is only more lively than the wedding anniversary party of the McCartneys. Not possible.

Later, under the leadership of Song Kongming and Ke Er, they began to set up tables, two tables indoors and two tables outdoors.Although it is cold February, there are bonfires burning outdoors and the continuous heating of the fireplace indoors. The temperature seems to be no longer a problem. It doesn't feel cold outdoors either.

After the table was set up, the bonfire became more and more prosperous, and the aroma of roasted whole lamb began to permeate around the main house. The cold dishes that were prepared first were put on the table, and the Chinese New Year atmosphere in Yunding Ranch was getting stronger and stronger.

On the far side of the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese Lunar New Year has passed, officially ushering in the joy of the first day of the Lunar New Year; but here, on the strange land of North America, the Lunar New Year has not had time to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner, even if there is no Spring Festival Gala Even though the bonfire does not look like a Chinese style at all, the strong Chinese New Year atmosphere still makes people happy.

Song Qingyun took a shower early and changed into a red Tang suit, not only him, but also Song Kongming and Zhang Wenyin and his wife also changed into couple costumes of Tang suits; Yuan Qingzhu was still busy in the kitchen, but she was wearing red Tang suits today. A traditional gown, purely handmade, made every stitch and thread by her own hands. The curly Chinese charm makes people taste differently.

Even Cole, Brandon and others became curious, bustlingly discussing the meaning of "China Red", as well as the Spring Festival couplets posted at the door and the inverted "Fu", the whole Yunding Ranch seemed to be covered with a layer of The red that belongs to China makes people addicted to it.

However, this was a pain for Lu Huaijin.Because Song Lingyi was busy in the kitchen, and the English of the other young people was useless, everyone could only ask him.But the problem is that Lu Huaijin's English is not as good as expected, and there is no problem in daily communication. Suddenly, he discusses Chinese folk customs, historical origins and cultural phenomena at length, which is really difficult for others.

Lu Huaijin did ask Lu Li for help, but today Lu Li was so busy that he couldn't stop. He occasionally passed by twice to help Lu Huaijin, explaining terms or customs, but then he got busy again.So, all eyes fell on Lu Huaijin again.

It is said that people's potential is infinite, and today Lu Huaijin proved this point again.Normally, this middle-aged man who knows nothing about computers and smartphones, under the persecution of everyone, and with the help of Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui, Lu Huaijin actually started to use search and translation software, and began to help everyone Class begins.

What a historic breakthrough!

Lu Li just felt like a spinning top, he didn't know what he was busy with, but he couldn't stop at all.When he was at home during Chinese New Year before, he had never felt so busy, but today, for the first time, Lu Li felt that this is his home, and he is the master, inviting all his relatives and friends to come over.This feeling is quite subtle.

The jerky Chinese voice came to his ears, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year..." The familiar melody, familiar tone, Lu Li looked through the window, and then saw Cole and Brandon stumbling. I was reviewing the Chinese song carefully, and the picture in my memory became vivid and vivid in an instant.

Lu Li opened the window and shouted at them, "Remember to perform after dinner!" Then he laughed happily.
