Lisko’s American Life

119, Memories of Rooster and Colt (Day 5)

"Goli is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father." Colt looked excited when facing his brother.

"Really?" The rooster was also very pleasantly surprised, this is the third generation of the Bannard family.

He hurriedly took off his gloves, took out his cell phone from his pocket,

"Tell Maggie right away," Rooster tried a few times with his fingers excitedly but failed to unlock the phone.

Although he is not his own child, he is his uncle.

This news really swept away the gloom of the family that had been silent for a long time.

"Maggie is already fighting." Colt stopped the cock who was still struggling with the phone lock.

The two brothers hugged each other fiercely, and then separated, looking at each other and grinning.

"Hahahahaha"

The two brothers were laughing and laughing, their voices gradually decreased, the rooster lowered his head, and raised his head again, tears streaming down his face.

The same is true for Colt across from him.

"Tell me, if Bo was here, what would it be like to hear the news?"

Cock choked up and said what both brothers were thinking.

"He will definitely teach me a lesson and teach me to be a good father." Colt sniffed hard, as if his father was right in front of him, looking at them.

The rooster was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly.

"I'm going to see him, do you want to go together?"

"certainly."

Rooster dug out the whiskey collection on the liquor cabinet in the house.

Since Bo left, he would buy some good whiskey when he saw it. As usual, he filled half a bottle in his flagon, and sealed the rest and put it on the top of the wine cabinet.

This was a tacit understanding he had with Beau before, and even though Beau was gone, he would still maintain this habit of sharing a bottle of whiskey with his cowboy daddy.

The rooster brought three cups with him and motioned for Colt to follow.

The two rode on horses and quickly rushed to their family cemetery.

"Bo, grandpa, grandpa." Standing in the cemetery with gravestones engraved on it, the rooster whispered why he came here.

"Today, our Bannard family has a new member. We don't know his gender yet, but our Bannard's bloodline continues."

After a moment of silence, the rooster sat in front of Bo's tombstone, looking at the photo with neatly groomed hair and a denim outfit, brushing off the dust in front of him, and there were flowers sent two days ago in front of the tombstone. Come out, usually the cock does not come less.

In contrast, Colt was a little ashamed. He was usually careless, but he didn't think of visiting Bo often.

The rooster patted the open space beside him, motioning him to sit down.

Unscrew the whiskey, and the unique smell comes out of the bottle.

"The wine is good," Colt was very moved by his brother's intentions, and his nose choked unconsciously.

"This is my habit." The rooster knew what his brother was sad about, so he patted him to comfort him.

The yellow liquid was poured into small cups, and the three cups were placed, and one cup was also placed in front of Bo.

"Come on, Colt, here we go."

The rooster picked up his glass, motioned to Beau and Colt, and killed him in one gulp.

Colt followed his movements and drank the same.

"Do you hate Bo?" Rooster suddenly mentioned this matter.

Colt thought about it carefully. Since Bo left, although the two brothers are equally sad, they haven't sat down to have a good chat like today.

"I don't hate, it's better to be rebellious." Colt is very frank. The biggest conflict between him and his father is that, of course, he ignored the opposition of his family and went to the rugby club selection by himself, and ran away from home for more than ten years. Not going home.

He gave up his family for his ideals. Although he finally came back, the estrangement has been buried. He knows that the rooster has always had resentment towards him, so after returning this time, he is also trying to make up for the family.

But before he could act, Bo left first.

After he came back, Bo actually forgave him, but the old cowboy's character didn't know how to get along with his rebellious son whom he hadn't seen in more than ten years, and he couldn't express his love.

Rooster's resentment towards him is that Colt abandoned the whole family. Rooster is a family-oriented person, so he has been helping at home after graduation. He never thought of leaving Garrison and going to those bustling big cities to experience .

Because he knew that if he left, Bo and Maggie would really have no one to accompany them.

So this is why he has always had a deep resentment towards Colt.

"Actually Bo loves you very much." Rooster said to Colt after drinking another glass of wine.

"Although I have been with him all the time, I know that because he can see me every day, he is not worried about me. He is always worried about you, your little son who is wandering outside."

Rooster can often hear Bo sigh when he wakes up in the middle of the night, and search for the Colt club’s matches on TV. Occasionally, the camera will glance at Colt on the bench, and he will be pleasantly surprised.

Also found Beau's notebook with all the news about Colt, his state play at school, his club picks, his trades, his grades, his fights, his expulsion.

All the reports were neatly cropped, and Rooster gave the notebook to Colt when he was cleaning up after the funeral.

"Look at the notebook." Rooster turned to his brother and asked.

"Look," Colt said with a melancholy expression. This news hit him hard. He always thought that his father didn't love him, but he didn't expect that he had been silently paying attention to him. This discovery reminded him of the relationship between himself and Bo. quarrel.

Make him more distressed.

"I'm jealous of you," the rooster said what he had been keeping in his heart.

"You are loved by everyone. Maggie likes you. She always thought I could do anything. She wanted to leave the tavern to you. Even if you gave up your family, Bo still worried about you the most." The rooster drank another glass, and the whiskey had already seen Bottom.

"Everyone thinks that I don't need to care about anything. I work on the ranch in a respectful manner, and Bo still won't praise me. Maggie's love for me is only a small part of yours."

Because he has never left home, everyone pays less attention to him, and he has always been very mature and stable.

"But Beau left the ranch to you,"

Colt didn't understand what his brother was thinking, he never knew what the rooster thought in his heart.

"So he is my greatest support, my father." Rooster lowered his head in pain, weeping uncontrollably.

"Brother, you still have me and Maggie, our family is still there, and your nephew or niece."

Colt stepped forward and hugged his brother's rooster. At this moment, the rooster changed from its usual stability and looked extremely fragile.

The setting sun had passed, covering everything on the earth with golden yellow, and Colt seemed to see Bo's figure vaguely, looking at the two brothers from a distance, the corners of his mouth were still upturned as before.
