Lisko's American life
Chapter 123 Chapter 119, Remembrance of the Rooster and Colt (First Day 5)
"Golly is pregnant, I'm going to be a father." Colt looked excited when facing his brother.
"Really?" The rooster was also very surprised, this is the third generation of the Bennard family.
He hurriedly took off his gloves, took out the phone from his pocket,
"Tell Maggie right away," the cock tried a few fingers excitedly but didn't unlock the phone.
Although not his own child, he is a pro-uncle.
This news really swept away the gloom of the long-silent family.
"Maggie is already fighting." Colt stopped the cock who was still struggling with the phone lock.
The brothers hugged fiercely, then separated, grinning at each other.
"Hahahahaha"
The two brothers smiled, their voices gradually reduced, and the rooster lowered his head and raised his head again, tears streaming down his face.
The same goes for Colt opposite him.
"You said, if Bo was here, what would it be like to hear the news?"
The cock choked and said what the two brothers were thinking.
"He will definitely teach me severely, and then 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 be together."
"of course."
The rooster digs out the collection of whiskey on the bar in the house.
Since Bo left, he saw that some good whiskey would be bought back. As usual, he filled half a bottle in his jug and sealed the rest on the top of the wine cabinet.
This is the tacit understanding between him and Bo. Although Bo is gone, he will still keep this habit and share a bottle of whiskey with his cowboy dad.
The rooster brought three cups and motioned for Colt to follow.
Riding on horses, the two quickly rushed to their family cemetery.
"Bo, grandfather, grandfather." Standing in this graveyard with tombstones, the rooster whispered his intentions.
"Today we have a new member of the Bennard family. We don't know his gender yet, but our Bennard bloodline continues."
After a moment of silence, the rooster sat in front of Bo's tombstone, looking at the photos of neatly groomed hair and a cowboy suit, dusting off the dust in front of him, and there were flowers from the previous two days in front of the tombstone. Come out, usually the rooster comes over.
In contrast, Colt is a bit ashamed, he is usually carefree, and he didn't even think of visiting Bo frequently.
The rooster patted the open space next to him and motioned for him to sit down.
Unscrew the whiskey, the peculiar smell of wine comes out of the bottle.
"The wine is good," Colt was moved by his brother's intentions, his nose choked a little unconsciously.
"This is my habit." The rooster knew what his brother was upset, so he patted him to comfort.
The yellow liquor was poured into a small cup, three cups were set, and a cup was placed in front of Bo.
"Colt, come, cheers."
The rooster picked up his wine glass, gestured to Bo and Colt, and killed it in one bite.
Colt followed his movements and drank the same.
"Do you hate Bo?" The cock suddenly mentioned this matter.
Colt thought about it carefully. Since Bo left, although the two brothers are equally sad, they haven't sat down and talked together like today.
"Don't hate, it's better to be rebellious." Colt is very calm. The biggest contradiction between him and his father is that, of course, he ignored the opposition of his family and went to the rugby club selection alone and ran away from home for more than ten years. Not returning home.
He gave up his family for his ideals. Although he finally came back, the barrier has been buried. He knows that the cock has always been resentful to him, so after returning this time, he is also trying to compensate the family.
But before he could do anything, Bo left.
Since his return, Bo has actually forgiven him, but the character of the old cowboy doesn't know how to get along with this rebellious son he hasn't seen in more than ten years, and he will not express his love.
Rooster's grievance against him is that Colt abandoned his whole family. Rooster is a family-centered person, so he has been helping at home after graduation. He never thought of leaving Garrison to experience those prosperous big cities. .
Because he knew that if he left, Bo and Maggie would really be unaccompanied.
So this is why he has been resenting Colt so deeply.
"Actually Bo loves you very much." The rooster drank a glass of wine again and said to Colt.
"Although I have always been with him, I know that because he can see me every day, he is not worried about me. He is always worried about you, the little son who is wandering outside."
The cock often gets up in the middle of the night and hears Bo sighing, searching for Colt Club matches on TV, and occasionally the camera shots Colt on the bench, he will be pleasantly surprised.
I also found that Bo’s notebook posted all the news about Colt. He entered the state competition at school, was selected for the club, was traded, played scores, fights, and was expelled.
All the reports were trimmed neatly, and the rooster gave this notebook to Colt after the funeral and when he was cleaning things up.
"Look at the notebook." The rooster turned his head and asked his brother.
"Look," Colt's expression was melancholy. The news was a big shock to him. He always thought that his father didn't love him. He didn't expect that he had been paying attention to himself silently. This discovery made him think about himself and Bo. quarrel.
Makes him more distressed.
"I'm very jealous of you," the rooster said what he had always buried in his heart.
"You are loved by everyone. Maggie likes you. I always think I can do anything. I want to leave the tavern to you. Even if you give up your family, Bo is still the most worried about you." The cock drank again, and the whiskey had already seen you. To the bottom.
"Everyone thinks that I don't care about anything. I work in the ranch. Bo still won't praise me. Maggie's love for me is only a small part of yours."
Because he has never left the house, everyone pays less attention to him, and he has always been very mature and stable.
"But Bo left the ranch for you,"
Colt didn't understand his brother's thoughts a little. He never knew the rooster's inner thoughts.
"So he is my greatest support, my father." The cock lowered his head in pain, crying.
"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 cock. At this moment, the cock changed from its former stability and looked extremely fragile.
The setting sun shone, covering everything on the ground with golden gold. Faintly, Colt seemed to see Bo's figure. Looking at the brothers from a distance, the corners of his mouth still turned upward as before.
