The whole family was busy planting trees all day, and although they seemed a little tired, everyone was still very happy. It was a fun activity for the whole family, as everyone worked together to plant fruit trees and then started looking forward to harvesting more delicious fruits in the fall.

The children are undoubtedly happiest at this time, and the little ones are happy; Because planting trees is fun, and because the little ones are all working hard today, they are getting better and better, and now they are all amazing big kids. Of course, the little ones are looking forward to it now; Looking forward to the early arrival of autumn, when they can go to pick fruits, these are their own fruit trees, of course, it is worth looking forward to.

"Get dressed, bring your gifts, it's grandpa's birthday." Wei Da reminded the little ones and said, to be honest, it is also because the little ones are always lost, so this time needs to be reminded.

"Dad, we're all set. Grandpa would have loved our gifts, which we had been preparing for a long time. There were a lot of interesting gifts, which my younger siblings and I were able to exchange for with our pocket money. Xiao Li proudly held his small gift box, which was a gift he prepared with his younger siblings, and it was a lovely gift that he spent a lot of pocket money to buy.

Wei Da felt that Old Fox would be happy after receiving the children's gifts, but he probably couldn't cry or laugh; Although he and Angela did offer some advice, the little ones actually had their own ideas, and their gifts were really special. Because their gift to Old Fox was a lovely pair of cowboy boots, boots that looked young and fancy.

"Dad was going to go crazy, and the last thing he liked was the hippies. But I think he'll probably be happy now. Because it is a gift from the children to him; It's just that I can guarantee that these boots will only be worn by Dad at some special moments. Seeing her fat son running to find her brother and sister, Angela said with a smile; It's just that no matter how you look at it, it's all about schadenfreude, and it's clear that she finds the children's gifts interesting.

"Dad has always been glad when he saw the gift, it's not his birthday yet, and he doesn't need to worry about the children giving him such a gift. But my dad was a little worried, and he reminded me several times. In the future, children must pay attention to buying gifts, and they must not buy such fancy shoes. Wei Da is also gloating, the children's gifts are indeed very exciting. But sometimes you can't really afford these gifts, and it's a stressful gift.

"Dad, we need to hurry, two minutes of me talking to Grandpa is enough. Grandpa has already prepared the saddle for me. We're going horseback riding, we're going to ranch racing! Xiao Li, who was sitting in the co-pilot, urged his father, the little guy has no concept of time now, and the little guy opened his mouth to make people feel a stressful time, two minutes, and the plane couldn't arrive.

Although the fat son's mention is impractical, there is no way, Wei Da still needs to meet the little guy's requirements as much as possible; Anyway, Wei Da usually doesn't drive very fast. But his driving skills are not bad, and he basically rushed to his father-in-law's house at a relatively fast speed. There is no pressure on Weida to do this.

When I was in China, I was very particular about birthdays, especially for older people.

Those under the age of 50 or those with surviving parents cannot be called longevity, and only their birthdays are celebrated; Those under the age of 60 have their birthday on the day of their birth every year. On my birthday, I boiled eggs and ate noodles. The eggs are called "happy eggs", and the noodles are called "longevity noodles", which means that they wish "longevity and 100 years old".

Moreover, as soon as the elderly enter the birthday year, their children, relatives and friends will have an annual birthday celebration, commonly known as "birthday celebration". In particular, every ten years, that is, whole years, is the year of celebration, and the birthday celebration is the most grand; In many cases, the birthday of the old man will not be too heavy, because it will 'remind' Lord Yama that it can only be celebrated in those big birthday years.

The elderly in the United States actually don't care about this, birthday is a time worth celebrating for them, and they can enjoy the fun of pie with their relatives and friends. A lot of older people in the United States are relatively independent. standing, or that they are often disobedient to old age.

Old Fox is also a little bit now, although he will soon be sixty years old, but he has never been old, he has always thought that he is in the best condition. Old Fox loved horseback riding, he loved hunting, and he loved doing things that seemed exciting. Obviously, he feels that he is not old now, he can take care of himself, and he can protect his loved ones.

When I arrived at Old Fawkes's house, it looked like some people had already come; Angela's sister Christine is naturally coming back, although she lives in Mississippi, but on her father's birthday, she will definitely return to Texas, which is also something that should be done as a child, especially now that the economic conditions are good, this is even more unmissable.

"I never thought he was a real cowboy, no doubt about it. Maybe many of you have heard of him, and some of the things he does seem to fit the cowboy's personality well. But guys, I can guarantee that he never had cow dung on his boots, I can guarantee it! "Talking to his old friends, old Fox is also talking about his sons-in-law.

"Grandpa, it stinks when you step on cow dung, it's not clean." Xiao Li, who was sitting in his grandfather's arms, was very interested in this topic, but he felt that what Grandpa said was wrong, and that Dad couldn't step on cow dung, "Big Man and Pooh used to be disobedient and defecate openly, and I stepped on their poop several times, and I couldn't wear shoes." ”

"Ryan, cowboys with no cow dung on their boots aren't real cowboys, they probably just watched some movies or some novels. Those aren't real cowboys, only cowboys like Grandpa are real cowboys. Your dad, and York, though they often dress up as cowboys, but that's just fake. Old Fox was seriously talking to his fat grandson, and Old Fox was very serious about the topic of cowboys.

Weida shrugged his shoulders, it was obvious that a traditional cowboy like Old Fox often looked down on those bells and whistles; When it comes to cowboys in the American West, people think of Texas, which is not only the cowboy state of the United States, but also the home of cowboys in the world. In Hollywood films, American cowboys always give the impression of being powerful, bold, and chivalrous.

In the 21st century, the original cowboy was almost gone, and modernization sent the cowboy to the museum.

Tall and handsome cowboys galloping through the dusty wilderness, or the gleaming Lyford pistol pinned to their waists, or the hordes of men behind wooden fence gates taking off their cowboy hats and drinking, and the silent towns and windswept wind chimes are just a fragment of life in the West.

But one thing must be admitted, this is the artistic processing of film; Now there are indeed some rodeo jiàn, some rodeos and so on. But in reality, a lot of traditional cowboys like Old Fox don't approve of that, they don't think those people are real cowboys.

A cowboy is a person who takes care of cattle and horses on a pasture; They have to graze and trade cattle, repair fences, manage farm equipment, etc., which is quite hard work. The typical cowboy always wears a felt hat, riding boots, a dagger and a short spear at his waist, and his outfit is absolutely unique; This looks quite handsome, but it's more practical, like high-heeled riding boots that are mainly to prevent the foot from slipping out of the stirrups; Sturdy, durable denim is designed to prevent tearing through bushes.

Nowadays, many cowboy performances are rich in content, such as driving cattle into the fence, rope sets, horn repairs, etc.; But in the eyes of a cowboy like the real old Fawkes, it really doesn't make much sense, because those so-called cowboys don't know what a real cowboy is.

Being able to endure hardships is the most basic requirement of a cowboy, and a cowboy needs to be very brave, because you are likely to be unable to control the crazy herd. Of course, a cowboy also needs to be highly skilled; It takes a lot of grazing skills to wield a lasso on a galloping horse to accurately lasso the crazy cows.

So now, the low-level ranchers like Old Fox and the older cowboys, they actually look down on the so-called cowboys a lot of the time, because those cowboys are just in vain, and they don't know what a real cowboy is.

Just like old Fox often looked down on Weida, it is true that Weida has a huge family property and Weida has a large pasture; Although Wei Da thinks he is very good at riding, he often thinks of himself as a cowboy. But Old Fox never admitted it, he thought that Weida was just a guy who didn't understand the essence of cowboys, and he would often laugh at Weida.

Weida and York laughed, he did think he was more like a cowboy; But if he is really asked to be a cowboy, Wei Da will definitely be unbearable, and it will indeed be too tiring. So it doesn't matter if he's pretending to be a vassal or elegant, Wei Da feels that he's doing a good job now, and he's also happy to pretend to be a cowboy once in a while.

So the disdain of an old cowboy like Old Fox, Wei Da really doesn't care, it's not the first time he's been despised shì, when he has been despised more times, Wei Da has actually been used to it for a long time, these are not affected by him at all, and sometimes he will still be proud!
