Chapter 74 Thanksgiving

Robert is gone at last.

On the last day before Thanksgiving, Ron came to the police cafeteria before the police lunch bell rang as usual, but he didn't see the black writing of today's menu on the whiteboard.

Only then did Ron remember the time Robert said that day.

Walking through the automatic door, the police restaurant is empty, and the utensils in the kitchen are clean and neatly arranged, without traces of chefs and dishes—although these utensils are bought by Robert himself, and they can also be used in the new restaurant on, but Robert chose to keep them.

As for why there are no cooks and dishes, it is because the Orange County Police Headquarters has not found a chef who is willing to take over the police restaurant. After reviewing the food standard and selling price, most of the chefs who came to apply shook their heads and left.

After all, there are very few chefs like Robert who love to cook and hone their cooking skills. Most of them still have to think about their families and their own lives.

As a result, officers at the Orange County Police Headquarters will be subsisting on hamburger and hot dog sandwiches with coffee until the police cafeteria reopens.

"Meow~"

I won't be able to eat delicious dishes in the future!

Glancing at the small dinner plate with his name written on it, Ron called out sadly, letting the low voice echo in the empty police restaurant.

…………

Every year, the fourth Thursday in November is Thanksgiving, one of the most important holidays in the United States. The statutory holiday is one day, but whether it is a school, a factory, or an administrative unit, there are usually three days off.

The Orange County Police Headquarters is no exception. It told everyone to take a three-day holiday this week and return to work next Monday through emails and notices posted on the bulletin board.

When Ron returned to the dormitory, Lorraine had already packed his luggage. Seeing Ron coming in, he opened the pet backpack and motioned for Ron to jump in.

Lorraine's roommate, Fisher, had already gone back to her home in Florida.

Sometimes Lorraine can't figure out the thoughts of this black big man who retired from UFC. He is obviously rich, but he wants to be a policeman with no future, and he hasn't applied for the police in Florida. A California in the United States finally allowed him to pass the exam.

As for Christina, she still returned to her father in Santa Monica, Los Angeles—although they had been dating for almost a month, neither Lorraine nor Christina had the consciousness to meet the other's parents.

Moreover, Thanksgiving is an important holiday to spend with family members. Bringing each other home on this holiday means that the relationship between the two parties has been confirmed, and it is very likely that a series of follow-up matters will be prepared.

Both Lorraine and Christina are still immersed in the sweetness of love, and they don't plan to let things develop so fast for the time being.

…………

Jumping into the pet backpack obediently, Ron curled up warmly and slowly dozed off. In the past, when Ron woke up, he would be home.

But today was a little bit unsatisfactory, because Lorraine did not wait for the bus with its own hypnotic effect at the station, but a small carnival arrived.

"Hi Lorraine, didn't expect to see you here."

"Get in the car, I'm just going back."

Selena is driving the carnival, the owner of the puppet cat Shirley, and the current owner of the three kittens that Ron originally adopted, and Selena also exaggeratedly named the three kittens three names in the game .

"Thank you, Selena."

The neighbor relationship in the Fox Hill community is quite harmonious, and Lorraine and Selena also know each other. After thanking Selena, Lorraine put the suitcase in the car, and then got into the co-pilot.

Although she often stays at home and pets cats, Selena's driving skills are really good. She has surpassed dozens of cars along the way, including a Bugatti Veyron. In the end, it only took less than 15 minutes. Linna sent Lorraine and Ron home.

On the road, taking advantage of no one's attention, Ron quietly opened the zipper of the pet backpack, looked out from the back seat, and saw a handsome young guy driving a Bugatti Veyron, which was somewhat similar to a certain photo, Ron But I can't remember it all at once.

After being overtaken by the Carnival, the Bugatti Veyron followed the Carnival for a short distance until the Carnival turned into the Fox Hill community.

"Mum, I'm back!"

Opening the door, Lorraine shouted, and immediately a strong fragrance wafted from the kitchen and got into the noses of Lorraine and Ron.

"Stinky boy, what's your name, don't you see that mom is roasting a turkey?"

Following the fragrance, Aunt Susan poked her head out of the kitchen and reprimanded Lorraine severely, then she retracted her head and was busy with tonight's dinner.

Americans must eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day. It is said that there is an interesting saying that can be traced back to [-].

At that time, a group of British Puritans who advocated reform quit the state religion because their ideals and aspirations could not be realized, and established their own Protestantism.

This move aroused the hatred of those in power in Britain, and these Puritans who advocated reform were brutally persecuted and discriminated against.

Unbearable to bear the persecution and discrimination from the rulers, the Puritans first fled to the Netherlands, and after 62 days of drifting at sea on the Mayflower sailing ship, they finally arrived at the east coast of the United States, which is now the port of Plymouth, Rhode Island.

At that time, it was still an uncultivated wilderness, and turkeys and other wild animals could be seen everywhere. When the Pilgrims landed, it was already approaching winter, and there was a lack of supplies, lack of clothing and clothing, and the harsh environment threatened their lives at all times.

The kind-hearted Indians took pity on them and brought them food, daily necessities and production tools, and sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish and grow corn and pumpkins.

Therefore, when the next year’s harvest was harvested, the Puritans held a grand celebration to thank the Indians for their selfless help, and made the hunted turkeys delicious to share with the Indians.

Ironically, in the ensuing hundreds of years, it was the white people helped by these Indians that caused a devastating blow to Indian tribes throughout North America. Today, the number of Indians who once flourished in North America is only There are less than 200 million left, who live in tribes in the Indian Autonomous Region of the western United States.

But having said that, although there are not many Indians dancing and eating roast turkey with the Puritans, the custom of eating turkey on Thanksgiving has been preserved, and besides eating roast turkey, Americans will hold various activities, such as Cranberry races, corn games, pumpkin races, etc., to commemorate and thank some of the people and things in my life.
