Rural life in America

Chapter 511 The Daily Life of an Old Cowboy
Greg neatly packed up his equipment and put on his cowboy felt hat; he was in a good mood, this retired old guy really couldn't be idle, or he had found a little youthful feeling now.

It was obvious that Greg was a man of little culture, who had been doing heavy manual labor and not making much money.Therefore, bearing hardships and standing hard work is naturally a must-have ability, and it also includes wanting to live a better life for the family. He needs to work hard, and he can't even pick and choose at all, because he has no such qualifications.

He has worked hard for most of his life and has always been conscientious in his work; however, his wife left when he was still young, which is very common.Fortunately, he has a son, but it is a pity that his son is not good at reading, so he became a cowboy after him.

Originally, Greg had given up hope. He felt that if he worked hard, he could share the pressure on his son who was not good at communicating, and he could give his grandson and granddaughter a better life.

But everything changed in the last few years, because he met an amazing, young and promising boss!

"Grandpa, are you going hunting again?" Jane saw Grandpa running over with a shotgun on his back, "Grandpa, Hao will not agree to you, he is the best zoologist, he loves small animals, he will object to this Rough behavior!"

Looking at the beautiful granddaughter, Greg 'sniffed', "My sweetheart, I went hunting with him! That kid is a good zoologist, but he is also a good hunter. Sweetheart, he just arrived I liked hunting very much when I came here, and I took him into the mountains to hunt at the beginning!"

After thinking about it, I still need to leave a good image in my granddaughter's mind, "Sweetheart, hunting is a pleasure for many people, it's not a game of killing. And you have to know that many animals need to be controlled in quantity..."

Kendrick next to him said immediately, "But it's deer hunting season now, and I know your target is a cute deer!"

Be patient with the granddaughter, but not so patient with the grandson; Greg is very angry, and the granddaughter has no problem denouncing him, because the granddaughter likes small animals very much.But this grandson is now starting to develop in the direction of animal protection enthusiasts. This natural Greg is not light; this is the son and grandson of the cowboy, and now he still has those inexplicable love!

Greg is still packing the last luggage in the living room, and his grandson and granddaughter are also helping him check the equipment and luggage; these two little guys also suffered a little bit of hardship when they were young, and the lack of money at home really made the life of the two little guys difficult. Followed by embarrassment.

But now, the quality of life of the two little guys has improved a lot, but their hands-on ability has not declined.In the final analysis, it is because Greg's family is not educated or rich.Most of them just climbed up slowly from the bottom of society, so even if they live in a community with a good environment now, it doesn't mean that they have completely changed.

At least, at least there are some fundamental things that cannot be changed.

"Dad, Greg asked me to tell you before going to work, I hope you pay attention to safety." The daughter-in-law served a decent breakfast and also reminded Greg, "He is not at ease with Hao, he thinks that Hao likes to take risks. He asked me to tell You, your current age must be considered, you cannot go crazy with Hao."

Greg was eating the fried egg unhappily, very impatient, "I know, you all think that I, the retired old guy, have become a waste! I will move out, and I will move out soon, so that you will not See me!"

It's like this, it's this topic again; let alone Greg's daughter-in-law, even Kendrick and Jane are speechless.

Jane, who has always been favored by Greg, doesn't need to worry, "Grandpa, do you want to live with Vivienne?"

Kendrick is a kid, but in fact he is not young, "Don't get married, or you will be miserable when you get divorced!"

Greg slapped Kendrick on the head, very speechless, "Where did you know this?!"

"Everyone should know this, everyone knows that divorce is a disaster!" Kendrick was not afraid of his grandpa, and shouted loudly, "I knew this a long time ago, everyone knows that rich people Divorce is disaster!"

Greg was speechless, quite speechless, "We are not rich, we just live a good life. For your college tuition, so that you can go to a good middle school, Greg is still saving tuition!"

Jane couldn't believe it anymore, and retorted, "I know, Dad makes a lot of money, our college tuition..."

Before she finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted by her mother, "Now that your college tuition fees have not been saved, we just bought the house. Now it is our real house, not a bank house! Don't think that now We are rich, we have never been rich!"

Kendrick muttered a few words, and seemed to know the situation, "We are not poor, and Dad makes a lot of money. I also know that the pension is a lot."

Greg ate his breakfast with some complacency, and that was true; at least his old friends were not like him now, and unlike him, they didn’t need to worry about pension money at all, and he didn’t need to worry about sleeping on the street now, no No need to worry about finding an odd job to subsidize the family... maybe even go fishing, play golf, or go horseback riding at the stable once in a while.

For Greg, this is a life that he couldn't even imagine before working on the ranch, because he has passed the age of unrealistic fantasy, but now this is indeed his life, a wonderful retirement life, Although sometimes it's boring.

"Kids, study hard. You have seen the power of knowledge. If you don't study hard, you can only be cowboys. But your luck will not be as good as me and your father. You should find a decent job." Work!"

As soon as Greg finished speaking, Kendrick immediately asked, "Grandpa, I want to be a zoologist."

Greg took it all in, and immediately said, "You study hard, and I will tell Hao. Believe me, that kid will give me face, and he will help you!"

After enjoying a leisurely breakfast with his family, Greg was ready to set off; he put the rifle in the co-pilot, threw the rucksack into the back of the car, and said goodbye to the children, Greg drove the old pickup truck and set off rumbled.

Go hunting, to enjoy the fun of such a deer hunting season, even Greg is so sad.

When he was very young, he followed his father into the mountains to hunt; in the most difficult years of life, hunting has always been one of Greg's few hobbies and a way to reduce stress.

Although the hunting experience is getting richer and the prey is getting more and more; however, Star also feels that the years have passed.It is not easy for him to go hunting in the mountains now, and sometimes he really feels physically overwhelmed.

So this is likely to be his last hunting trip, so he found Zhang Hao and proposed to go hunting together in the mountains.

It is obvious that Zhang Hao no longer has the original expectation and yearning for hunting, and he doesn't have so much curiosity.But for hunting, he does have some hobbies, which is indeed something that Zhang Hao likes very much.

It was also because it was Greg's proposal. Although Greg did retire, he would still go to the ranch every now and then.Zhang Hao actually liked the first employee under his opponent; with Greg, Zhang Hao also felt not only the relationship between the employee and the boss, but also the feeling of forgetting the old friends, and getting along very happily.

It is also true that Greg is getting older, and there may not be many opportunities to go hunting together in the mountains in the future.

So even though Zhang Hao is indeed preparing for the Breeders' Cup now, when Greg proposed to go hunting in the mountains, Zhang Hao must have agreed without hesitation; because this is Zhang Hao's hobby, and also because it is It is their common hobby to make friends with Wang Nian and go crazy in the mountains together.

When we drove to the ranch, Greg didn't care if Zhang Hao's house looked great; he knew 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's just a little bit better at the beginning.

This villa may be very good, but what Greg is familiar with is the old house where Zhang Hao's family lived in the ranch...

Seeing the white lions, Greg smiled and greeted these little guys. They are all very familiar partners; they are also full of expectations, although as a cowboy, dealing with shepherd dogs and cattle dogs is definitely indispensable.

But even if he is a cowboy with decades of experience, Greg has never encountered dogs as smart as the white lions; The mighty mixed-breed Tibetan Mastiff...

White Tiger is pregnant, and this time he can get a smart puppy; this makes Greg look forward to it, let alone Greg, even Jane and Kendrick are full of expectations, because they all know that the dogs on the ranch are the best. smart dog!

The little wolf saw Grandpa Greg and ran over immediately, and was very happy to be hugged by Grandpa Greg; Grandpa Greg had a big beard, so it was very interesting for Grandpa Greg to prick him with the beard. Although the little wolf was struggling, the little wolf was very happy. love games like this.

Dad doesn't have much beard, and he always shaved it off...

"Little wolf, is your father ready?"

The little wolf immediately replied loudly and decisively, "Dad is not prepared, Daddy is a lazy pig!"

Greg is not surprised at all, his boss is a terminal cancer, "Wow, this is not good news, is he still sleeping now?"

The little wolf put his arms around Grandpa Greg's neck and said, "Daddy sends my sister to study, and my sister goes to school. Grandpa, the little wolf doesn't study, and the little wolf herds the cows!"

Herding the cows, you'll be thankful if you don't destroy them; obviously, the little wolf boy was a disservice to the cow pen when he was a kid, and Greg knows that the little wolf is not a good cowboy...
