Arriving at the edge of the forest park, the old man showed the way, and they drove into the forest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is a path inside the forest, which can accommodate a car, and a billboard is erected at the intersection that reads: Christmas Tree Logging Area.

The old man motioned to him to reduce the speed: "Drive slowly, let my presbyopia take a closer look, find the most beautiful Christmas tree, you come together for Christmas this year, I can't fool around like before." ”

Li Du smiled: "Have you been fooling around before?" ”

The old man shrugged and said, "Sophie didn't bring my son-in-law back to me, of course I have to fool her." No, I'm not fooling her, I'm protesting silently. ”

As he spoke, he laughed.

Li Du has a question that has been buried deep in his heart, there will only be two people, and he couldn't help but ask: "James, since I came to the United States, I have been discriminated against a lot ......"

The old man patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't care what those fools think, they are too stupid. ”

Li Du said: "It's nothing, I don't care what they think." However, the discrimination is real, they don't want to be friends with me, but I feel that you and your wife seem to be very nice to me? For my relationship with Sophie, I am even more happy to see it come true? To be honest, I was a little flattered. ”

When he first came to the United States, Li Du and his Chinese classmates would be warned at the reunion, saying that they should not be interested in white girls and black girls, even if they are willing to accept themselves, then their parents and family members are not willing.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin were the opposite, and from the first time they saw him and Sophie together, they both showed a positive attitude, and this anomaly made him wonder.

Hearing his words, the old man smiled and said, "So this is the case? What's so strange about this, you're a good guy, my wife and I think you're a good guy. Sophie, and I like you, so why aren't we happy to see it? ”

Li Du smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation and support. ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Seriously, my wife and I have made it clear since Sophie was in middle school, as long as she is willing to fall in love, as long as she finds a good child, then we will support her." ”

"But, you know, kids, our teenagers here have very chaotic private lives. In order to prevent Sophie from being hurt, we took her to church from an early age, so that she could listen to the Lord's teachings and discipline her with God. ”

"As a result, Sophie's child is so devout that she obeys God's instructions to be clean and self-loving until she becomes an adult, and not to have too much contact with the opposite sex, not even to date boys!"

Speaking of this, the old man not only waved his hand but also began to shake his head: "Can you imagine, until she graduated from college, she never dated any boys, and her mother and I once wondered if she didn't like men." ”

Li Du laughed and said, "This is a bit too much, right?" ”

The old man shook his head solemnly: "No, no, no, but at all, for a long time, we were really worried that she would choose to stay with a certain girl until you showed up......"

Speaking of this, he patted Li Du on the shoulder again and said, "So you know why we support you so much, right?" Because we're afraid she won't fall in love with any man! ”

Hearing him say this, Li Du couldn't help laughing, he really pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

After wandering around the edge of the woods for a while, the old man found a small fir tree, and he beckoned, "Come, young man, this is the perfect Christmas tree we have been looking for." ”

Fir and green pine are a bit like each other and are both perfect Christmas tree choices.

However, it is more difficult to find a fir to make a Christmas tree than to find a pine tree, because the fir is very long, and the limit can grow up to 40 meters high, and one person cannot hug it.

In this way, they grow fast and can grow very large, and by the time people find them, they often miss the height that is suitable for Christmas trees.

Finding the Christmas tree, Li Du took down the axe on his shoulder, found a cutting point and said, "James, you stand back, watch me cut it." ”

The old man smiled: "Don't worry, it's the first time you cut down a tree, right?" Then I'll have to teach you the trick. ”

Li Du asked, "Isn't it just to find a clearing and cut it down?" ”

The old man said, "It's not that simple, well, it's really simple, but you have to let me teach you, because I have long looked forward to the day when I can teach my children what my father taught me to cut a Christmas tree." ”

It is said that American parents do not have a tendency to favor sons over daughters, but in fact this statement is not true, it can only be said that most American parents like their children very much, regardless of gender.

But for both men and women, they want to have a child of the same gender as themselves.

In other words, dads like to have sons, and moms like to have daughters, and then they can instill some of their dreams and experiences into their children.

This is especially evident in the Southwestern United States, where many cowboys like to raise sons, and if they give birth to daughters, they will raise them as sons before they become adults.

The old man took the axe and said, "It is much more difficult to cut down trees with an axe than with a chainsaw, and many people choose to use a chainsaw, but then there is no fun and Christmas spirit of cutting trees." ”

Li Du nodded and said, "I agree, we should respect tradition." ”

He was honoring his future father-in-law.

This kind of remark made the old man very useful, and he smiled: "That's right, come, when you want to cut down a tree, first find the direction of a vacant land, as you just said." ”

"When you find it, you should first get two axes on the front and cut diagonally from the top and from the bottom. Then draw a horizontal line on the opposite side, this horizontal line is your target, and finally slash this horizontal line hard. ”

He explained it to Li Du again, and demonstrated it himself, and then handed the axe to Li Du.

Li Du has small insects to strengthen his body and energy, he can be called a humanoid beast, and his body contains terrifying energy.

Picking up the axe, he 'clanged' up a few times, and the fir tree quickly made a 'gaba' sound that made people feel sore, and it was directly cut down.

The old man was dumbfounded: "Your strength is so great, I'm going to teach you some more tricks." ”

When dragging the fir, Li Du once again showed his strength and explosiveness, dragging the fir alone and walking fast.

In fact, he is not alone, Meow, Ah Hao and Crisp Noodles are helping to push the cedar tree in the back, working very hard.

Bring the Christmas tree home, Sophie makes them hot coffee, and they can go to rest. Sophie and her mother come to tidy up the tree, hang lanterns and tie ribbons.

Next up is the Christmas Eve dinner, which is regarded as the most important dinner of the year in the southwestern United States, a bit like Chinese New Year's Eve in China, where the whole family gathers for a big meal.

Christmas is like the Chinese New Year, it is the most important holiday, but there will be no more big meals, at least not as solemn as Christmas Eve.
