I had dinner with the Sassen family and felt so formal. Whether it was tableware or table manners, he had been to Western restaurants many times before and was familiar with the process. The family was also very talkative. The dinner for more than two hours ended easily. After staying for a while, An Feng said goodbye politely.

Joanna sent him out, but she stopped talking on the way, and finally asked, "Do you have time to come out tomorrow? I heard that there is a Thanksgiving parade in San Luis Obisburg."

“When?”

"It starts at 10 o'clock in the morning, it seems quite lively."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow?"

"No problem." Joanna nodded.

"By bye!" An Feng opened the pickup truck's door, turned the car out, and waved his hand at Joanna.

Joanna waved gently, then turned around and went back, and met Andy at the door. When Andy saw her, she asked, "Are you going to date?"

Joanna smiled: "Do you know what dating is?"

Andy looked up at Joanna and replied dissatisfiedly: "Aren't men and women going to the same place? Then kiss!"

Andy looked cute when she pouted in the air, and Joanna couldn't help but smile: "If I brought you with me, can three of them be considered a date together?"

"Don't it count?" Andy frowned and suddenly looked at her unexpectedly: "You want to bring me?"

"What, don't you?" Joanna deliberately looked stern.

"Checrow to death! I do!" Andy jumped happily, "Yeah! You're so good! I'm going to watch the parade with a mask! Snoopy! SpongeBob!"

...

An Feng went back to check the information. Thanksgiving Day is of great significance to Americans. Every Thanksgiving Day, the whole country is very lively. People go to churches to pray for gratitude according to customs. Disguised parades, drama performances and sports competitions are held everywhere in cities and towns, and schools are also on holidays.

The next day, An Feng called the permanent workers of the vineyard, asked about their well-being, and then made a brief speech: "I want to thank you for your work over the past few days, and keep the vineyard in order and always on the normal track. I am a boss who is quite unqualified and is not familiar with many things. Thanks to your reminders and help, I have avoided many detours. Thank you everyone!"

An Feng looked at them and continued, "In addition, although the harvest of the vineyard this year is quite good, in order to express my gratitude to everyone, I decided to take out part of the profit as your bonus! Let you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and the upcoming Christmas!"

After the words came, Old John took the lead in applauding, and the others also applauded with warm applause.

He took out the check book and filled out a cash check of more than 20,000 US dollars. He distributed it to seven people in total, and each of them could receive more than 3,000, which was very generous.

Old John took the check and raised it and Yang: "Thanks Bruce! We'll go to the bank later!"

They cheered and took out their glasses to toast An Feng. After chatting with them one by one, everyone left their own way. Although it was Thanksgiving, there was something to do in the morning and they could only start making big meals after noon. However, An Feng had other arrangements, so he would not participate.

I changed my clothes, just a simple long-sleeved shirt and jeans, and sat on the pickup toward the Sassen house. When I arrived, Joanna and Andy happened to go out. She was wearing a fashionable knee-length printed skirt, short boots, and a blue denim jacket in her hand, which was youthful and energetic. Andy's dress was also cool, with a cardigan and jeans on the shirt, and an Indian mask.

An Feng got out of the car, looked at her, and couldn't help but praise: "You are so beautiful today!"

Joanna smiled and turned to Kelly and said, "I'm leaving, Andy, I'll take good care of it."

"Have fun! Bye!" Kelly said that she and Frank were not going because they had to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner.

"Go off!" Andy ran to the car door in the back row of the Lapika, but unfortunately he was too short to reach it. An Feng smiled and opened the door for him. After Andy climbed up, he did not forget to turn around and say thank you.

Get on the bus and head to San Luis Obisburg, more than 70 kilometers away.

There were obviously more traffic on the road than usual. It seemed that everyone was rushing to watch the parade. There were many cars, but they were driving very regularly. Occasionally, they would slow down and say hello to the city with a good mood. There were more than ten minutes before the parade began. After stopping, they slowly walked towards the parade street. Andy took Joanna's hand and jumped all the way, and finally took An Feng's hand. The hairy child was in the middle, and the adults walked one side.

At first, they didn't realize anything wrong with shopping with their children. It was not until passers-by frequently smiled kindly at them that An Feng and Joanna reacted. They looked at each other and at the same time let go of Andy's hand. An Feng smiled and said, "Passenger has such strong imagination."

Joanna was also embarrassed: "The first generation of mixed-race shouldn't be like Andy."

Then they were silent. It was not until the parade music started that Andy, who was chattering, picked up the lively atmosphere again. He stood behind the crowd and saw not much. He begged his sister and brother, and Joanna looked at An Feng for help. He had to hold Andy and let him look around condescendingly.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Andy praised.

"It's started? What's it?" Joanna asked, and she put her toes on her feet.

"You stand in front of me!" An Feng turned around and said to her.

Joanna squeezed into front of An Feng, and her vision suddenly became wider. "What awesome! Bruce, you are so smart!"

This is also called cleverness? An Feng smiled.

The first one to arrive was the huge float dragged by the pickup truck, which was filled with various props and fruits. The most conspicuous one was the local feature: grapes. The SLO County Sheriff was standing at the front of the float with a smile on his face, frequently waving to the audience on the roadside. The sound of camera clicking kept ringing, and someone sent candy to the children behind the float.

Next was a team of students or workers, with all kinds of strange costumes all in the battle, and the sky was filled with huge balloons such as Spider-Man, Smurfs, etc. Almost all participants played freely, some showed balloons and some played roles, and if they were quick to move, they could take photos with them. Some were dancing Indian dances, and the misfortune of catching turkeys made the turkey fly into the crowd, causing a burst of hilariousness and screams...

After more than an hour of lively parade, the two took Andy to visit some Thanksgiving special gift shops and bought a lot of toys that children like. However, it always felt strange for young men and women to buy toys with a child. Several times the salesperson directly called their husband and wife.

In order to explain unnecessary, they bought some things and went home. On the way, Anfeng answered a call, which was from Katilina, who brought him holiday greetings and love words. Anfeng chatted with her for a few minutes, and after hanging up the phone, Joanna asked inadvertently: "Your girlfriend?"

An Feng was stunned for a moment, forgot what the friend should say, and he said, "Yes, her name is Katilina."

"Ahhh!" Joanna laughed, "You are so fast, Iron Man."

Somehow, the embarrassment between them suddenly disappeared. An Feng smiled and said, "Just just talk about myself, aren't you going to find a boyfriend?"

Joanna shook her head: "I haven't encountered anyone who feels it yet."

"That's right, it's a must-have if you don't feel together. What is the standard of your ideal boyfriend? That kind of man with European chivalry?"

Joanna smiled: "Have you watched too many movies?"

An Feng said: "Don't the love in the middle ages all unfolded like this? When the war came, the knights swear to protect the daughter of a certain nobleman to the death. Then, the war ended, the nobleman died, the knight married the daughter of a nobleman, was awarded a title, and lived a happy and fulfilling life until the next version of the knight's story came into being."

Joanna said: "I think the story is like this: the war has not come, but a certain nobleman is seriously ill. He has no children and only one daughter. However, the law stipulates that the hereditary title cannot be placed in a woman. So before the knight has risen, the certain nobleman has died. The title has left the distant relative, the daughter has passed away, the knight has disappeared, and the fairy tale ends. Finally, it is another version of the story of a certain nobleman, mainly based on distant relatives."

An Feng was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Joanna: "Is it so tragic?"

Joanna smiled: "Don't you think this is more realistic?"

"Can't that daughter be you?" An Feng said suspiciously, feeling that her smile was forcing her to hold on.

Joanna nodded: "It's me."

"I'm sorry." An Feng regretted her.

"It's okay, I've already seen it." Joanna laughed, "It's not a mess, at least it's a good time to change the environment."

An Feng thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are some female nobles, duchess and the like in the UK, and I thought they could be hereditary to women."

She shook her head: "No, some are just a few exceptions, which are granted by the Queen themselves, and most of them are lifelong titles, which disappear after death and cannot be hereditary."

An Feng was surprised: "Men and women are inequality? It sounds so bad!"

Joanna said: "The nobles are the products of inequality. This is a hundred years old and no one can move. Recently, someone will propose revisions, but it is not optimistic."

An Feng comforted her: "Don't be too pessimistic, maybe this will make you live happier? For example, I'm very happy. If you are a noble nobleman, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to sit with you, let alone learn your language and superb equestrianism."

Joanna said: "Your method of comforting people is terrible, but thank you. And you think of the nobles too mysteriously, it is actually just a title and a family symbol."

An Feng said funnyly: "But then again, it's probably difficult for American boys to chase you. If you want to take the first step, you will have to get a knight title first!"

Joanna covered her mouth and laughed.

...

In the evening, Anfeng attended the Thanksgiving feast of the Sassen family. Not only the Sassen family, but also Frank's other friends, the management of the winery, etc., were all present. A long table was filled with people. Before the meal was served, everyone shook hands and started praying, praying for a good harvest in the coming year, and thanking the reunion of relatives and friends.

Then the dishes were served, and the table was filled with a variety of rich foods, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin pie, cranberry, moss jam, etc. Finally, the owner Frank personally took out the turkey that had been roasted for four hours and cut it into thin slices for everyone. Raise the glass to celebrate in a lively atmosphere.
