Lisco's American Life
450. Christmas tree
"Hey, Lee, do you want to go cut down the Christmas tree together?"
Rooster and Colt stood downstairs, holding shovels in their hands, shouting to Lisko on the top floor of the castle.
This is a regular Christmas program for several of them every year, and it has been like this since Lisko returned to the ranch.
In the United States, many families also regard cutting down the Christmas tree needed for Christmas as a special task for the dominant member of the family.
Only by cutting down the Christmas tree yourself, in the eyes of other members, you are the head of the family, and are also regarded as a symbol of a man growing into a qualified parent.
Of course, Lisko would not refuse. He quickly came downstairs, picked up the coat hanging at the door, and went out.
"Hey cock, Colt."
Lisko stepped forward and patted the two of them on the shoulders affectionately. Because of Colt's identity change, he has rarely been seen outside recently. He has been running between home and school. He needs help from Rooster for the work in the tavern.
Done.
It can be seen that he has thick dark circles under his eyes. Although he looks very tired, his face is full of happy smiles.
"How's it going? Can you still tolerate it?"
Lisko asked Colt concernedly and received a positive nod from him.
He has met the rooster a lot recently. After the rooster has finished his work at home, he spends most of his free time at the Lee ranch. You can often see him and Willow chasing each other on the grass and laughing.
So Lisko also heard Rooster say that Colt's son was very noisy at night, and Colt couldn't get a good rest at night. He had to get up early the next morning to work, so he was very tired, and Rooster was very worried about him.
Can you bear it?
"Fortunately, although it's a bit hard, it's still bearable. This little bastard, when he gets older, I will definitely spank him hard."
Colt smiled and shook his head. Children are the cutest and most troublesome existences in the world. Every time he cried, he almost went crazy with irritation. But looking at his son's little face, his mind was filled with irritation.
The smoke disappeared.
Lisko looked at this son-slave who kept talking about his son with some disgust. Although he was disgusted, he also longed for this kind of life. When he could have a daughter of his own, Lisko would be truly satisfied. He
He often thinks about it, but because Zhang Li has no plan yet, he can only suppress his thoughts in his heart.
Taking the shovel handed over by Payne, Lisko followed the rooster and walked towards the forest where Garrison residents regularly cut down Christmas trees.
"Where's the cock? Has it become loose recently?"
Lisko tilted his head and asked about Rooster's relationship status. He and Catherine gradually became inseparable. This was visible to everyone. Everyone felt that a good life for the two of them was not far away.
"Of course, Willow has been calling me dad recently."
Rooster also had a look of joy on his face. He knew that Catherine had been emotionally hurt, and her previous emotional experience had always been a shadow for her, so he did not pursue the matter urgently, but chose to use his sincerity to slowly warm the other person's ice.
Sealed exterior wall.
He never asked Catherine to agree to any conditions for him. Maggie had urged him many times about marriage, but he never opened his mouth, just waiting for Catherine to truly accept him before making this plan.
As for Willow, he truly treats her as his own daughter. No matter how busy he is, he will insist on taking her to school. He often buys toys for Willow, takes her to eat sweets that are strictly prohibited by her mother, and attends parent-teacher meetings. These efforts finally pay off.
In return, when he sent Willow home a few days ago, Willow not only hugged him and kissed him on the face to say goodbye, but also called him daddy.
At that moment, he thought he had heard wrongly. When Willow shouted sweetly again, he became extremely excited, and for a moment he felt as if his heart had been hit softly.
From that day on, Willow changed her story, and of course Catherine heard it too. She just blushed and didn't correct her. Rooster knew that he was almost successful.
"It's great. Before we know it, we have become real parents."
Lisko squinted his eyes and remembered how when he was a child, he was led by his father, Rooster and Colt followed Bo, and the two families cut down the Christmas tree together. Every time Lisko and the three of them would have a snowball fight on the road, and the two fathers stood there.
On the side, he smoked a cigarette and watched with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, everyone has become an adult, and the happiness of childhood has disappeared.
Lisko shook his head and returned his thoughts to the current scenery. Every time it was a festival, thoughts of the past and present came rushing up, making him feel particularly lonely.
But this year is much better. I am accompanied by Zhang Li, Zhang You and Li Feng, plus the castle maid and Payne, Charles and Yu Qing. I am not at all alone like in previous years.
The small town of Garrison has a specially planted variety of Christmas trees, firs.
This forest has existed in Lisko's memory since he was a child. Every year, the town government allocates part of the funds to replenish saplings. Almost all the residents of Garrison cut down trees here. Their fathers and grandfathers
is also like this.
There is such a forest in many small towns in the United States. Most of the species are European fir. This tree is the most commonly used species as a Christmas tree because it does not drop leaves after being cut down, and its color is emerald green.
, very pleasant, and has a unique and pleasant fragrance.
The three of them kept walking. Although the journey was a bit long, they were not bored because they kept talking along the way.
We finally arrived at the woods. In winter, when the earth is all dry and yellow, only this forest is still green, which is very eye-catching on the ground.
"I must choose the most beautiful one."
When he arrived at the woods, Colt was full of confidence and ready to start selecting.
Lisko and the rooster also dispersed. This forest is planted every year, so it still covers a large area.
In the past, Colt and Rooster only had to cut down one. This year was different. Rooster, as the parent who inherited Bo's assets, had to put one in his hands. Colt also had his own little family.
Although the two families will have Christmas dinner together, two Christmas trees are still needed.
For Lisko, this job can be left to the butler, but cutting down the Christmas tree by hand has become his holiday tradition in the past few years. Even if he has a butler this year, he doesn't want to throw it away easily, so he does it himself.
The three people picked one by one in different directions. Lisko quickly selected his target, which was a Christmas tree that was taller than other trees because it was too tall and not suitable for other families.
So appropriate.
