520 The Daily Life of an Old Cowboy
Stanley packed up his gear and put on his cowboy felt hat, and was in a good mood, this retired old guy really couldn't be idle, or now found a little bit of the feeling of youth.
It's clear that Stan is a man with little culture, and he's always doing some heavy manual work and doesn't make much money. Therefore, he needs to work hard, which is naturally a necessary ability, including hoping that the family will live a better life, he needs to work hard, and he can't even pick and choose, because he doesn't have such qualifications.
After working hard for most of his life, he has always worked diligently, but it is not uncommon for his wife to leave when he was still young. Fortunately, he has a son, but unfortunately his son is not good at reading, so he followed him as a cowboy.
Originally, Stan had given up hope, and he felt that if he worked hard, he could relieve the pressure of his son, who was not good at communication, and could give his grandson and granddaughter a slightly better life.
But everything changed in the first few years because he met an amazing, young and promising boss!
"Grandpa, are you going hunting again?" Jane saw her grandfather running over with a shotgun on his back, "Grandpa, Hao won't promise you, he is the best zoologist, he loves small animals, he will oppose such a rough behavior!"
Looking at his beautiful granddaughter, Stan scoffed, "My sweetheart, I'm hunting with him!" that kid is a good zoologist, but he's also a good hunter. Sweetheart, he loved hunting when he first came here, and I took him into the mountains to hunt in the first place!"
After thinking about it, I still need to leave a good image in my granddaughter's mind, "Sweetheart, hunting is fun for many people, this is not a game of killing." And you have to know that a lot of animals need to be controlled......"
Kendrick, who was next to him, immediately said, "But it's deer hunting season, and I know your goal is to be a cute deer!"
Be patient with your granddaughter, but not so patient with your grandson, and Stan is not light, and his granddaughter is okay with denouncing him, because his granddaughter loves small animals. But this grandson is now starting to develop in the direction of animal protection enthusiasts, this natural anger is not light, this is the son and grandson of the cowboy, and now he still has those inexplicable love!
Stan is still packing his last belongings in the living room, and his grandson and granddaughter are also checking his equipment.
But now, the quality of life of the two little ones has improved a lot, but their hands-on ability has not decreased. After all, it's because the Stan family is not educated or wealthy. More of them are just slowly rising from the bottom of society, so even if they live in a very good community now, it doesn't mean that they have completely changed.
At least, there are at least some things in the bones that can't be changed.
"Dad, Stan told you before he went to work, I want you to be safe. The daughter-in-law brought a good breakfast and reminded Stan, "He is not at ease with Hao, he thinks Hao is adventurous." He asked me to tell you that your current age has to be considered, and you can't go crazy with Hao. ”
Stan ate the omelette impatiently, "I know, you all think I'm a retired old guy and a piece of waste! I'm going to move out, I'm going to move soon so you don't see me!"
Again, it's the topic again, not to mention Stan's daughter-in-law, even Kendrick and Jane are speechless.
Jane, who has always been pampered by Stan, doesn't need to scruples, "Grandpa, do you want to live with Vivien?"
Kendrick is a big ghost, but in fact, he is not small, "Don't get married, or you will be miserable when you divorce!"
Stan slapped Kendrick on the head, speechless, "Where did you know that?!"
"Everybody should know this, everybody knows that divorce is a disaster!" Kendrick was not afraid of his grandfather, shouting loudly, "I knew this a long time ago, everyone knows that a rich man's divorce is a disaster!"
Stan was speechless, rather speechless, "We're not rich, we're just living well." Stan is still saving up for your college tuition, so that you can go to a good high school!"
Jane didn't believe it anymore and retorted, "I know, Dad makes a lot of money, and our college tuition is ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted by her mother, "Now that your college tuition has not been saved, the house we just bought is now our real house, not the bank's house!
Kendrick muttered a few words, looking like he still knew the situation, "We're not poor, Dad makes a lot of money." I also know that pensions are many. ”
Stan ate his breakfast with some pride, and at least his old friends weren't like him now, not like he didn't have to worry about pension money at all, he didn't need to worry about sleeping on the streets, he didn't need to worry about finding a gig job to support his family...... You can even go fishing once in a while, play golf, or go horseback riding at the horse farm.
For Stan, it was a life he would never have dared to imagine without working on the ranch, as he was long past the age of unrealistic fantasies, but now it was indeed his life, a good retirement, though sometimes boring.
"Children, read well. You see the power of knowledge, and if you don't study well, then you can only be a cowboy. But your luck won't be as good as my father and me, and you deserve a decent job!"
As soon as Stan finished speaking, Kendrick asked, "Grandpa, I want to be a zoologist." ”
Stan took it all and immediately said, "You study hard, I'll tell Hao." Trust me, that kid will give me face, he will help you!"
After a leisurely breakfast with his family, Stan is ready to go, putting his rifle in the passenger seat, throwing his backpack into the back car, and saying goodbye to the children, Stan rumbs off in his old pickup truck.
Gone hunting, to enjoy the joy of such a deer hunting season, and even Stan was a little sad.
When he was very young, he followed his father into the mountains to hunt, and during the most difficult years of his life, hunting was one of Stan's few hobbies and ways to relieve stress.
Although he became more experienced in hunting and more and more prey, Starr also felt the passage of time. Hunting in the mountains is not easy for him now, and sometimes he does feel that his body is overwhelmed.
So this is likely to be his last hunting trip, so he found Zhang Hao and proposed to go into the mountains to hunt together.
Obviously, Zhang Hao now has no original expectations and yearning for hunting, and he doesn't have so much curiosity. However, he does have some hobbies for hunting, which is indeed something that Zhang Hao likes very much.
It's also because this is Stan's suggestion, and although Stan does retire, he still goes to the ranch every once in a while. Zhang Hao actually likes the first employee under his hand, and between him and Stan, Zhang Hao also feels that it is not only the relationship between the employee and the boss, but also the feeling of forgetting the New Year, and getting along very happily.
It is true that I feel that Stan is getting older, and there may not be many opportunities to hunt together in the mountains in the future.
So even if Zhang Hao is indeed preparing for the Breeder's Cup now, when Stan proposes to go hunting in the mountains, Zhang Hao must have agreed without hesitation, because this is Zhang Hao's hobby, and because this is to go crazy in the mountains with his New Year's friends, which is their common hobby.
Driving to the ranch, Stan didn't care if Zhang Hao's house looked great, he did know that Zhang Hao was not a rich man when he first came here, and Zhang Hao seemed to be living a hard life at that time, maybe it was just the beginning of a little better.
This villa may be a good one, but Stan is familiar with the old house where Zhang Hao's family lived on the ranch......
Stan smiled and greeted the little ones at the sight of the white lions, all of whom were familiar companions, and full of anticipation, although as a cowboy, they must have to deal with sheepdogs and cattle dogs.
However, even as a cowboy with decades of experience, Stan has never encountered such an intelligent dog as the White Lion, who of course does not usually work as a cattle dog, and his partner is Goofy and Spike, two powerful hybrid Tibetan mastiffs......
White Tiger is pregnant, and this time she gets a smart puppy, which makes Stan look forward to it, not to mention Stan, but Jane and Kendrick are both looking forward to it, because they both know that the ranch dog is the smartest dog!
The little wolf saw Grandpa Stan and immediately ran over, and was very happy to be held by Grandpa Stan, who has a big beard, so it is interesting for Grandpa Stan to tie him with his beard, although the little wolf is struggling, but the little wolf likes this kind of game very much.
Dad's beard is not much, and he always shaves off......
"Little wolf, is your dad ready?"
The little wolf immediately replied loudly, very decisively, "Dad is not prepared, Dad is a big lazy pig!"
Stan isn't surprised at all, his boss is lazy and terminally ill, "Wow, that's not good news, he's still sleeping?"
The little wolf put his arms around Grandpa Stan's neck and said, "Dad sends my sister to study, DPA, the little wolf doesn't study, the little wolf herds the cow!"
Thankfully you don't wreak havoc on the cows, and it's clear that Wolf Wolf didn't help out in the cattle pen when he was a kid, and Stan knows that Wolf isn't a good cowboy......
