"What's the matter, old John, early in the morning?"

Qin Xu looked at the old John opposite, if this old man had nothing to do, he wouldn't come to find him.

What made Qin Xu feel a little strange was that this old man, who had always been resolute and resolute, was actually a little embarrassed.

Looking at Qin Xu's puzzled eyes, Old John was stunned for a long time, but still asked:

"That's right, boss, what are your plans for Halloween?"

"Halloween? Is it Halloween?"

Qin Xu was a little surprised, time flies quickly, is this the end of October?

"Yes, boss, tomorrow is Halloween. ”

Seeing that Qin Xu didn't have any special reaction, Old John coughed twice on the side and reminded:

"Boss, how do we arrange the ranch for Halloween? Do you want to give the cowboys a holiday?"

"Giving ranch employees a day off?"

Qin Xu was in a trance, and suddenly sighed a little, when can he decide whether to give employees a holiday or not?

"yes,"

Old John nodded, he didn't know what his new boss thought, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Halloween is here, and the cowboys on the ranch are a little impetuous, and they are a little absent-minded in doing things. ”

Hearing Old John say this, Qin Xu came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Old John, according to the regulations, we should put it for a few days?"

"This... Old John was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to do, he was afraid that Qin Xu would say this.

"What's wrong?

Qin Xu was a little puzzled, labor and management have asked you to come according to the regulations, what else should you do?

Isn't it just a few days off? I'm not Yang Bailao, can I still treat you badly?

Seeing Qin Xu's somewhat displeased expression, Old John had no choice but to explain with a wry smile:

"Boss, according to the rules, we don't have a holiday on Halloween. ”

"What? How is this possible?"

Qin Xu opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at the wryly smiling old John on the sofa opposite, with a look of disbelief.

Are you sure you're not kidding, old man?

Even if Qin Xu doesn't know much about Europe and the United States, he knows that Halloween is in Europe and the United States, and it is the second biggest festival after Christmas, you tell me that there is no holiday?

Halloween is a festival about ghosts, especially in Europe and the United States.

For example, even though the festival is celebrated on October 31 every year, it is actually full of festive spirits from the beginning of October.

The most obvious is that all the shops will be decobwebs, witches, vampires, skulls, etc. Many people started putting jack-o-lanterns in front of their homes.

This is almost the same as the Spring Festival in China, which is almost the same as half a month.

On this day, many families will have a party, and the food and drink at the party will be made into a strange and bloody appearance

It's such a popular festival, and you tell me they don't have a holiday?

"It's true, boss, according to the U.S. Congress, there is no holiday on Halloween. ”

Although he was helpless, John could only explain with a wry smile:

"There are only seven national holidays in the United States: New Year's Day, President's Day, Anniversary, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Except for these holidays, the rest of the time depends on the state, or the boss your mood to decide whether to take a holiday, and there is no explicit rule. ”

Qin Xu was a little dumbfounded, wasn't he? What kind of festivals are these? Why haven't you heard of it yourself?

What about Valentine's Day? What about Valentine's Day, where all the big girls and little daughters-in-law in China are accustomed to heaven?

And what is Easter? Why don't you have a holiday on these festivals that you know?

"Boss, what Uncle John said is true,"

Eva on the side looked at Qin Xu's disbelieving eyes and interjected:

However, although there is no rule on Halloween whether or not to have a holiday, ordinary ranches will have two days off. ”

Qin Xu nodded, he understood what Eva meant, it was different from China.

The country is forced by the state to have holidays, and even so, in addition to government departments, those companies or private enterprises must try their best not to take holidays and have fewer holidays.

And here, although the state does not stipulate that those festivals should be closed, but when the time comes, those bosses have to take a holiday.

Although there is no explicit rule, it is all tacit.

It's like Christmas, and according to the rules of Congress, there are only three days off for Christmas.

But as far as Qin Xu knows, which company has a Christmas holiday for more than two weeks.

"Okay, as Eva said, the cowboys will have two days off. ”

Qin Xu thought about it, forget it, let's follow the rules.

He looked up at Old John, who was full of joy, and asked, "How many are you here today?"

"Boss, it's the thirtieth, tomorrow is Halloween. Old John replied.

"Well, then we will have a holiday starting tomorrow, just two days. ”

Hearing Qin Xu say this, Old John's weather-beaten old face couldn't help but show a smile.

It wasn't for himself, because his family lived on the ranch and didn't have a holiday, so it didn't feel like anything for him.

But that's really good news for those single cowboys. I'm sure those lads will be happy to hear it.

"Thank you, boss, I think those guys will be happy. Old John sincerely thanked Qin Xu.

"Thank you, it's all as it should be. Qin Xu waved his hand, and his face became serious,

"Old John, it's okay to have a holiday, but the person on duty must arrange it. ”

Old John nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, boss, I'll arrange this. ”

Qin Xu smiled with satisfaction, this old man was still very relieved.

When Old John left satisfied, Qin Xu looked back at Eva, "You, you didn't remind me during the holidays, I was caught off guard." ”

Eva shrugged helplessly. "Qin, I thought you'd know, after all, this is a big festival. ”

Qin Xu is angry, I don't go out every day, how do I know where to go?

"By the way, Eva, is there anything to be aware of on Halloween?"

Speaking of which, Qin Xu is really the first time to have this kind of festival, and it is still in the United States.

Just like Eva's thoughts, Qin Xu also has a lot of respect for this kind of foreign festival customs.

Believe it or not is one thing, but respecting other people's customs and habits, Qin Xu still understands this very well.

Eva thought about it for a while, and then she spoke: "Qin, it's nothing, but according to American customs, the average family always buys some pumpkins to entertain the children."

In front of the house or in front of the garden, there are strings of ghosts and gods of various forms, which are made of hollowing out pumpkins and carving various vivid grimaces on the outside.

And on Halloween night, there will be children dressed as ghosts, in groups of threes and twos, carrying small jack-o-lanterns, knocking on the doors of these nearby houses to ask for candy. ”
