American Super Rancher

Chapter 419 Halloween Holiday

"What? Old John, it's early in the morning. What's the matter?"

Qin Xu looked at the old John who was opposite. If the old man had nothing to do, he would not come to him.

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

Looking at Qin Xu's puzzled eyes, Old John hesitated for a long time before asking:
"That's right, boss, what are your plans for Halloween?"

"Halloween? Is it almost Halloween?"

Qin Xu was a little surprised, time passed so quickly, is it already the end of October?

"Yes, boss, tomorrow will be Halloween."

Seeing that Qin Xu had no special reaction, Old John coughed twice and reminded:

"Boss, what are the arrangements for our ranch for Halloween? Do you want to give the cowboys a holiday?"

"Give the ranch staff a holiday?"

Qin Xu was in a trance, and suddenly felt a little emotional. When will he be able to decide whether to give his employees a holiday or not?
"yes,"

Old John nodded. He didn't know what his new boss was thinking, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Halloween is here, and the cowboys on the ranch are a little restless, and they are a little absent-minded when doing things."

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

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

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Qin Xu was a little puzzled, labor and capital let you come according to the regulations, what else?

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

Seeing Qin Xu's displeased expression, Old John could only explain with a wry smile:
"Boss, according to the regulations, we don't have a holiday on Halloween."

"What? How is this possible?"

Qin Xu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at Old John who was smiling wryly on the sofa opposite, with an expression of disbelief.

Old man, are you sure you're not joking?

Even if Qin Xu doesn't know much about Europe and the United States, he still knows that Halloween is in Europe and the United States. It is the second biggest holiday after Christmas. Tell me there is no holiday?
Halloween (Halloween) is a festival about ghosts, especially Europeans and Americans like this festival very much.

How much do you like it?To give an example, although the legal date of this festival is October 10 every year, in fact, from the beginning of October, everywhere is full of festive atmosphere.

The most obvious is that all the shops will be decorated with cobwebs, witches, vampires, skulls and so on.Many people began to put jack-o-lanterns at the door.

This is like the Spring Festival in China, which takes almost half a month to pass.

On this day, many people will have a party, and the food and drink at the party must be made to look weird and bloody

It's such a popular festival, you tell me they don't have a holiday?How can this be?

"It's true, boss, according to the regulations of the US Congress, there is no holiday for Halloween."

Although very helpless, John could only explain with a wry smile:
"There are only seven legal holidays in the United States: New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.

Except for these few holidays, the rest of the time depends on each state, or the mood of the boss to decide whether to have a holiday, and there are no express regulations. "

Qin Xu is a little dumbfounded, isn't he?What holidays are these?Why haven't I heard of it myself?
What about Valentine's Day?What about Valentine's Day, when all the big girls and daughter-in-laws in China are used to it?Americans don't even have holidays?
And what about Easter?Why are there no holidays for the few festivals I know?
"Boss, what Uncle John said is true,"

Eva on the side looked at Qin Xu's disbelieving eyes, and interjected:
"However, although Halloween does not stipulate whether to have a holiday, but the general ranch will have two days off."

Qin Xu nodded, he understood Eva's meaning, this place is different from back home.

In China, holidays are compulsory by the state, and even so, apart from government departments, those companies or private companies must try their best not to have holidays, or to have fewer holidays.

And here, although the country does not stipulate that those festivals should be holidays, when the time comes, those bosses have to have a holiday.

Although there is no explicit regulation, it is the default of everyone.

Just like Christmas, according to the regulations of Congress, Christmas is only a three-day holiday.

But as far as Qin Xu knows, no company has a Christmas holiday for more than two weeks.

"That's fine, just as Eva said, the cowboys have two days off."

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

Looking up at the happy old John, he asked, "What's the number today?"

"Boss, NO.30, tomorrow is Halloween." Old John returned.

"Well, let's have a holiday starting tomorrow, just for two days."

Hearing what Qin Xu said, Old John couldn't help showing a smile on his weather-beaten face.

It's not for himself, because his family lives on the ranch, and it doesn't make much sense to him whether he is on vacation or not.

But this is really good news for those single cowboys.I believe those boys will be happy after hearing this.

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

"Thank you, it's all right." 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 make arrangements."

Old John nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, boss, I will arrange these."

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

When Old John left contentedly, Qin Xu looked back at Eva, "You, you didn't remind me of the festival, I was caught off guard."

Eva shrugged helplessly. "Qin, I thought you would 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 for Halloween?"

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

Just like Eva's thoughts, Qin Xu also has great respect for this foreign festival custom.

Believe it or not is one thing, but Qin Xu is very clear about respecting other people's customs.

Eva thought about it for a while, and then said: "Qin, the specifics are nothing, but according to the American custom, the average family always buys some pumpkins to entertain the children.

At the door of the house or in front of the garden, there will be a string of ghosts and gods in different forms. These decorations are made by hollowing out pumpkins and carving various vivid grimaces on the outside.

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