Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 6 Colt Returns

Lisko, who was rushing home in the morning, yawned profusely, threw his luggage into the living room, and went upstairs to catch up on sleep.

This sleep lasted until noon, when he was awakened by the cries of the rooster downstairs.

"plum!"

Lisko opened the window sleepily.

"Colt's back!" Rooster shouted excitedly from downstairs.

"Huh? When?"

Lisko became a little more energetic. He had the best relationship with Colt when he was a child. Because he was relatively taciturn, he was not very popular in school and was often bullied on campus. Every time he was helped by the school’s star football player Colt. , I haven't seen him for many years since I went out.

"Last night, Bo asked you to come to my house for dinner today." Rooster was also very happy. His younger brother had been away from home for more than ten years.

"Okay. I'll go after I wash up."

Lisko also lost sleepiness, got up and changed his clothes, threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and went downstairs after washing.

There was no one downstairs, and Jasmine was helping out on the ranch. Today's plan was to plant rye, and the dog Mag was downstairs, biting the blanket under her kennel and tearing.

Lisko reached out and hugged it, raised it to the front of his eyes and looked at each other. Hei Lulu's eyes looked very kind.

"Meg, Mag," Lisko called it, cultivating its perception of its own name.

Lisko stroked its hair, and carried it to the basement.

Several households in the United States have an underground storage room, and the one in Lisko's home is self-contained. When he moved in, he brought back various wines from his school collection.

Opening the wooden door, he walked down the stairs. There were many shelves inside, and a lot of wine was neatly placed on each shelf.

"Whiskey, red wine, white wine, and white wine. Champagne."

Lisko touched them one by one with his hands. Then smoked a bottle.

"Fort Latour 1990."

The bottle of wine had been given to him by his roommate, who was a wealthy heir to a huge family in Greece.

After looking at it, Lisko decided to take this bottle, went out of the storage room, went to the study room to open the cigar cabinet, and took a few Cubans that Bo liked very much last time.

When Lisko arrived at Bo's Ranch, it was already very lively. Colt was a star in the town, a rugby player who came from here, and everyone was looking forward to him entering a first-class club to contribute.

Lisko nodded and greeted everyone, handed the wine and Cuba to the cock beside him, then smiled and raised his fist.

"Hey Colt."

The two clashed fists, then hugged each other.

Colt was a little taller than Lisco, with curly blond hair, a beardless face, and sportswear.

"You really surprised me. I thought you would become a lawyer, a Wall Street financier, and a teacher, but I never thought you would become a writer." Colt was also very happy to see his long-lost playmate, but also a little Sad, from his point of view, Lisko’s younger brother, who had been running behind him all the time, has achieved so much now, but he has been out of work since being laid off by a third-rate club, and can only live by being a training partner for the school football team.

The rooster was very happy beside him, "Our invincible iron triangle has finally gathered, and the hunting season will be coming in a few days. Do you want to start our adventure again?"

"Of course." Both Lisko and Colt smiled. When they were in junior high school, the three of them would go hunting together in groups every hunting season. Their secret bases were two hunting and observation houses in the mountains, where they stayed So many memories and laughter.

The three of Lisko continued the meeting together, and the party began. Beau was showing off his skills, grilling the steak, and Maggie came back from the tavern on the day when the youngest son came back, and was mixing salad on the side. .

Lisko ate the steak, picked up the wine glass and touched Colt, "What are you going to do when you come back this time? It's better not to leave, Bo is getting old."

Colt hesitated to speak, "I'm still thinking about it."

Lisko knew that he was blunt, so he didn't refute, "Goli is getting married, and her fiancé is a lawyer."

Colt's expression darkened for a moment. For him, apart from missing his family and friends, what he wanted to see most when he returned home was Golly.

Back then, he packed his bags and ran away secretly without notifying Goli, regardless of his family's objections, for the club's solicitation. After so many years, he still feels ashamed of Goli.

"Is that so? I thought she was married a long time ago. I haven't seen her since I came back."

Lisko couldn't do anything about Colt's stubbornness, he had been like this since he was a child.

"She's very happy now. You should think about it carefully. You should know how well you feel about feelings."

"It's been so many years, and we are still friends when we meet."

After the fun, Rooster took Lisko and Colt to visit the ranch.

"The pasture seeds have been planted. It is the emperor bamboo grass. This pasture contains 17 kinds of amino acids. It is the most popular in recent years. It can be harvested 12 times a year. Two-thirds of the rye planting has been completed. It can be done tomorrow. In the end, Jasmine also set up a poultry farm, bought some chickens and ducks, and processed the vegetables that are suitable for the season.” When the rooster talked about his work, he talked eloquently and logically, and Colt felt a little surprised, as if not Get to know your brother.

"Rooster, you impress me, you really make a good cowboy."

The rooster felt a little resentful when he heard this, "I have been helping at home since I didn't go to school. You have been running for more than ten years, and I have taught Bo a lesson at home every day for more than ten years."

Colt was a little ashamed, he didn't think so much when he ran, "Sorry bro." He reached out and hugged the cock.

The rooster was silent for a while, and then patted him, "It's okay, you are my younger brother, and now our family is together again."

The two brothers reconciled as before, and went home with their arms around each other. Lisko felt amused by these two seemingly naive brothers.

When Lisko returned home, he went to the study and opened the wall cabinet. Inside were a revolver, a Glock pistol, and a Remington M887 shotgun. These things are standard equipment for ranchers.

Lisko took out gun oil and wiped each gun well, took aim with the Remington in his arms, then counted the remaining bullets, and took a rough look. There were about a hundred rounds left, enough for one hunting.

The voice of the United States to ban guns has been shouting for many years, but no action has been taken. In the past few years, not only the arms companies have promoted it, but the American people themselves have also opposed it. They have become accustomed to taking up arms to defend their families.

Lisko's gun license was obtained very early, and he occasionally went to the club to shoot targets. From the beginning, he was obsessed with it, but he gradually calmed down. When something is within your reach, you gradually don't like it that much. up.

When I first accepted the ranch, I bought a few and kept it at home. Behind the ranch is a deep mountain. Occasionally, there will be incidents of wolves attacking the ranch and biting people and animals here.

Lisko sat at the desk and read the latest news. By the way, he climbed the wall and entered the domestic network to look at it. Now the domestic network is developing rapidly. Fortunately, he received information from domestic companies. The companies arranged by Lisko have already invested. What is it like? The famous BAT, and some companies that I remember, the investment is going smoothly, and no company will reject an American investment company that can help you go public, and will not fight for rights, and hand over the share management to the existing manager.

Li Sko calculated that after ten years, he estimated that his assets would easily be among the top five in the rankings. Fortunately, when he started the company, he had already registered a shell in a place overseas, and the densely packed shares held each other, so it was difficult for him to People can find out the boss behind the scenes, conceive of no crime, and enjoy life in a low-key manner is the right way.

After fending off the agent's reminder again, Lisko drank the cheap tea he bought last time, lying on the rocking chair and flipping through a book.

Although many brilliant writers have disappeared from this world, more writers that Lisko did not know have emerged. Looking through some unfamiliar literary works, Lisko also found many particularly talented works here.

Lisko just flipped through it casually and got addicted to it. Before he knew it, the night was getting dark, and Jasmine didn't stop until he went upstairs to call him for dinner.

Dinner was fried pork cutlets, and Jasmine's skill was pretty good, mixed with thick soup, and Lisko feasted on it.
