Yunding Ranch

Chapter 466
The dark green forest slowly extends with the bleakness of winter. In the distance, you can vaguely see white snow covering the top of the hills, but you can't tell whether it is white snow or white clouds, but there is a thick layer of milky white around it. Connecting the sky and the earth, it is quiet but not dead, and the dormant vitality seems to be waiting to break out of the ground.

In a blink of an eye, half of February has passed.The Chinese Lunar New Year has passed, and the Lantern Festival is on its way.After a rough calculation, it seems that there is not much time left before Lichun.The days are always so fast, slipping through your fingertips inadvertently.

Yunding Ranch has been really lively for a while.

Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui became shepherds, following two little guys, Yuzu and Grape, waving whips and herding sheep every day.In the first two days, I woke up at six o'clock in the morning, eager to rush out immediately, but after the novelty wore off, I immediately became lazy. Cole taught two little girls to ride a sheep, and they became interested again. After establishing a relationship with the flock, I gradually became conscious, and my biological clock was adjusted, even more punctual than Jessica.

Song Kongming and Lu Huaijin ran to Justin's shooting range every now and then, indulging in the fun of shooting. After playing for three times, Song Kongming's shoulders were so sore that he couldn't lift them up, but Yuan Qingzhu drove him to herd cattle It’s called re-experiencing life—when Song Lingyi was young, in fact, there were cattle at home, and the three sisters all let the cattle go, but the family’s cattle and buffalo were not the meat of Angus cattle.

Lu Huaijin started making cheese again, and even Song Qingyun became curious. After watching it for two days, he finally satisfied his curiosity, then abandoned Lu Huaijin, and followed Randy and Tony to the fields all day long. Run, has shown a keen interest in organic farms and vineyards.In the final analysis, one grows and lives on the land, one lives on the land, and one cannot live without the land after retirement.

Zhang Wenyin even let go of her hands and feet, milking cows with Jessica, and then learning how to ride horses with Scarlett, and then taking care of the garden with Song Lingyi, and their women's army added Yuan Qingzhu, and called Lily, and went to Austin together Once, in a mysterious way, everyone kept tight-lipped about what they did.But you could tell they were having a great time.

This time, Song Lingyi took Lu Li, Brandon, Scarlett, Tony, Lily, Liu Xiaoyan and others together for a hike in addition to taking care of the garden.The whole itinerary took three days and two nights, and I really experienced the fun of exploring in the virgin forest.If it wasn't for the lack of time, Song Lingyi originally planned to go out for five days.

As for Yuan Qingzhu, her childhood was undoubtedly the most wanton.Two days ago, I took Lu Li to accompany me, took a stroll around the small town of Taomaso, and sat in the Sunset Bar in New Braunfels for two hours; then I got rid of the shackles completely, and yesterday I was with Lu Huaijin, Song Kongming and the two went to the shooting range to see and see. She didn't shoot targets, she just watched. Today she went to herd sheep with Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui, and tomorrow she called Lu Li and Fred and drove towards the Grand Canyon Park. Drive along Route 66 and enjoy the magnificence of the desert...

In addition to Lu Li's big family, friends from around Yunding Ranch have come to visit. There are non-stop activities every day, and those who want to participate can sign up at any time.Even if you don't participate, you can watch from the sidelines——

Edward led the young people of the construction team, and even held a darts competition at Yunding Ranch, which was the kind of darts thrown in the bar. He invited friends and greeted more than a dozen people, and everyone gathered together to throw darts.Let alone Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui, even Song Qingyun voted happily.

Such a day seems to be doing nothing, doing nothing all day long, but seems to have done countless things. Life is so fulfilling, and countless surprises are waiting for you from the moment you open your eyes.People always say that life is similar, but what it looks like depends on the individual, so everyone's life has a different look.

The days of Yunding Ranch were like this.

Lu Li got up early this morning, and he could hear Chen Taotao's skillful password outside the window, "Grape, grapefruit, right, right." These simple English words were no problem for the two little guys.Even Song Qingyun could say "Hello" now, let alone these young people.

Now every morning when he wakes up, he is used to the shouts of the boy scouts, and it has gradually become a part of Yunding Ranch. Even Lu Li has gotten used to it, and with these voices, he realizes that it is the beginning of another day.

After washing up, Lu Li went to the stables to help.

Recently, the thoroughbred horses have been particularly irritable, throwing tantrums every day, and even the original horses on the ranch have become restless, especially the male horses, which must be taken out for a walk.Brandon said that it was because they felt that the seasons were about to change, so they were extra sensitive, and after this period of time, it was much better.

So, after Lu Li got up in the morning these days, he helped the horse walk.

A stallion in a tantrum is especially vigorous and unpredictable.Without technology, accidents can happen all the time.This is completely different from Lizi, it's not a walk, but a daily job, Lu Li has to be careful, more careful.

After walking around for three times, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Lu Li's back, and he saw Song Qingyun and Randy not far away.

Song Qingyun was walking comfortably on the ridge with his hands behind his back, and Randy was walking beside him not far away. Song Qingyun was chattering, and Randy was also chirping. English, obviously no one can understand anyone, but they speak their own, but they are incomparably harmonious, singing together, back and forth, not lonely at all.

Lu Li pulled the reins, tried to slow down, greeted his grandfather, and asked about their recent harvest - not long after, the first batch of kale will be sown this year.

However, the steed under his crotch neighed twice, as if protesting against Lu Li's plan to slow down, a simple movement, as if complaining that he hadn't run enough.The footsteps slowed down a little, but he still ran forward. Lu Li couldn't help laughing, and only had time to raise his voice and shout, "Grandpa, Randy." Then he ran over quickly.

Song Qingyun raised his head, glanced at Lu Li's back, with his hands behind his back, looked at Randy with a smile, and sighed, "He's pretty good, isn't he?"

Randy didn't understand either, so he just raised his hand, waved at Lu Li, and then looked back at Song Qingyun, "Do you want to ride a horse too?"

"I used to work in the fields, but now my family has no fields, so I can't grow anything." Song Qingyun continued, "I never thought that Lu Li would actually start farming."

"The ranch next door, old people in their 80s and [-]s can also ride horses. If you like, you can ask Brandon to take you." Randy sat up and introduced, "If it wasn't so busy here, I would also like to ride horses every day." Ride, relax, relax."

"It's actually pretty good to farm like this." Song Qingyun raised his head to look at the sky, and then looked down at the land under his feet, showing a satisfied expression.

Lu Li had already gone far away, so naturally he didn't hear the conversation behind him.I walked past the organic farm, walked across the wooden bridge, ran along the plain between the beech forest and the valley, and ran for a while, startled the Leyland sheep that were grazing, and sat next to the sun Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui made the two girls complain dissatisfiedly, "Brother Lu Li/Uncle Lu Li!"

Lu Li laughed heartily. The sound of the horse's hooves finally slowed down beside the lake, disturbing the calm lake surface. Lu Li patted the big guy's neck and said teasingly, "Is it finally satisfied now?"

It's a pity that the big guys didn't intend to pay attention to Lu Li at all, and started walking along the edge of the lake without making a sound.

Lu Li got off his horse and led the horse towards the pier. Yuan Qingzhu, who was fishing quietly, did not look up, and concentrated on looking at the bait in front of him. He really had the demeanor of a fisherman.

After tying the rein in his hand to the stake next to him, Lu Li walked to Yuan Qingzhu's side and sat down cross-legged, "How is it? Did you gain something?"

"It's only started for half an hour, how can it be so fast." Yuan Qingzhu said with a light smile.

Lu Li raised his chin and looked into the water, "You won't learn from Jiang Taigong again, right?" Jiang Taigong was fishing without bait, "I told you, the fish fry in the lake have grown up now, if you don't If caught, it will become a disaster for fish."

"I know." Yuan Qingzhu nodded, his eyes still falling on the shallow ripples on the lake, "You have to remember that not everything will have results. Many times, even if you work hard for a long time, you may not be able to get results. Everything is bad, but if you only look at the result and forget the process, it’s not right.”

The corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, "Grandma, young people always have to go through bumps and bumps. Only after suffering will they know the truth."

Yuan Qingzhu laughed loudly, "So we just watched from the sidelines, watching you hit your head badly, knowing that you made a mistake, and then come to help you clean up the mess."

"That's why people say that an old family is like a treasure." Lu Li replied in response, causing Yuan Qingzhu to raise his hand, and nodded Lu Li's nose helplessly and with satisfaction.

Everyone has their own path to follow, and there is no absolute right choice.In Lu Li's generation, there are quite a few cousins. Some of them stayed in their hometown, passed the civil service examination, and lived a peaceful life; There are different development possibilities; some people find a blue-collar job, do the work of a worker, and earn a living in an ordinary way.

In Yuan Qingzhu's view, this is all very good.Life must go on after all.But only Lu Li, only Lu Li, a child, stepped forward, broadened his horizons, and opened up his own life.Not just Yunding Ranch, not just the life in the United States, but the vision and heart to look at the world.

People's hearts are always biased.Yuan Qingzhu saw her dream in Lu Li, and inevitably, she always preferred Lu Li more.
