Lisko’s American Life

"Who said that you are too fat in the painting, how can I exaggerate that much." Lu Bo retorted aggrievedly, and kept saying, "I have lost a little weight,,,,, you are too exaggerated Oh,,,,, I haven't eaten meat for a long time,,,,," and so on, with laughter and the sound of the engine, I started to drive to the pasture.

Along the way, Yashin was full of praise for the scenery along the road, "The air here is very fresh, very quiet, and there are few cars. The road conditions in New York are terrible, and I am often late for work."

"Then you can consider staying for a few more days." Lisko extended the invitation jokingly.

"Forget it." Yashin shook his head, "How can I be like you, if I don't work for a day, the bank will take away my house and car."

The tone of ridicule reflects the hardships of life. Recently, the efficiency of their newspaper office is not good. If he hadn’t contributed to attracting Lisko, the leading young writer in the new era, he would be fired like those young people. .

It is also the first time for Lu Bo to come here since Lisko came back to live. His most usual job is to run around the world to discuss copyright cooperation. Of course, he will inevitably be entertained by clients, so his figure is like a balloon.

"Seriously, Lu Bo, you really have to lose weight. I'm really worried that you have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., and your life will be miserable by then." Lisko looked at Lu Bo from the rearview mirror , said worriedly.

"I don't want to either. I've been eating a weight-loss meal for half a month before I came here. I couldn't stand the salad every day, so I came to see you." Lu Bo's voice was also full of grievances.

"Let me give you an idea, work as a cowboy on my ranch for half a year, and eat meat for you every day, it will definitely make you lose weight, and even if it's not good, it can also make you gain muscle." Lisko joked.

"No, no, I can't breathe after climbing the stairs now, and I'll be exhausted in your ranch for half a year." Lu Bo quickly refused. Although he wanted to lose weight, he was not willing to exercise so much every day because he was pampered.

"You deserve to be fat." Lisko said bitterly, and the car had already driven into the pasture.

"Here we are," Lisko stopped at the entrance of the villa, beckoning them to get off the car.

"Wow, this lake is like a gem, your life here is really quiet, no wonder you don't want to live in New York."

As soon as Lu Bo got out of the car, he was fascinated by the scenery, the endless green pastures that had grown up, the cows were grazing leisurely on it, the blue lake in the middle of the pasture shone with the sun, and there was a long-growing lavender In the sea, the purple flowers are swaying with the wind, like the world in a fairy tale.

"Is there any ranch like yours nearby? Keep an eye out for me. I want to buy one too. When I have time to come over for vacation, I feel as if my soul has been washed by looking at the scenery." Lu Bo turned his head and said to Lisko seriously.

"Look at it later, I'll contact you if there is anything." Lisko hugged his arms and stood waiting for the two to finish watching.

Yashin had no time to talk, so he took out his camera from his luggage and kept taking pictures. This kind of beautiful scenery should be remembered as a souvenir, and it will be a good memory to look at from time to time in the future, and you can also show it to your family at home.

"Li, can I bring my wife and children to your place for vacation?" Yashin turned around and asked, he can't be as rich as Lu Bo, he can buy a ranch at will, but there is still money for the vacation, no matter how you say it The salaries of the editors of the top literary newspapers are pretty good.

"Of course, you are welcome at any time. We are going to start a tourism project here recently, and the nearby pastures are all getting ready." Lisko advertised the town.

The two entered the house reluctantly, but they were not in a hurry, they would not leave for a while, and they could watch slowly later.

Lisko put away his bags and made coffee for him.

I took the pumpkin pie that Willow sent over. Since Lisko gave her the dessert cake he made from time to time, every time she came to the door, she brought the pumpkin pie made by Catherine, and Lisko also accepted it. This is a good idea. The snacks are still okay to entertain guests. The soft and glutinous taste is accompanied by coffee, which is very popular. Brother Haas took a lot when he left.

Rube was holding coffee in one hand and stuffing pumpkin pie into his mouth in the other. Lisko knew why he was so fat.

"This is delicious, Li, did you make it?" Lu Bo said vaguely with a cake stuffed in his mouth.

"My ranch cowboy made it."

The three sat on the sofa for a while, and Yashin was more interested in the decorations on Lisko's wall. He looked at the paintings on it, listened to Lisko's introduction, and kept nodding his head.

Lisko recently spent a painting by himself, and he watched Yashin staring at it all the time.

"I drew this one, and the Chinese characters on it mean rebirth."

This painting is a stick figure. The valley is simply outlined with a brush. The valley has obvious ups and downs. At the lowest end is a monk in red cassock with folded hands.

"The meaning here is that you have to fall into the bottom of the valley that you have never experienced before you can see the peak that you have never reached. The water to the bottom is the scenery, and the person to the bottom is rebirth."

Yashin was amazed by the artistic conception of the painting, and even took a picture of the painting with a camera.

"Okay, I'll give you this painting when the time comes." Lisko was also very happy that his sketches were liked by others, and he was not stingy at all.

After chatting for a while, Yashin opened his mouth to say the purpose of this trip.

"Li, due to the recent development of the Internet, the sales of our newspaper have declined severely, so the editorial department hopes to invite you to come forward and publish some short stories in our newspaper." He wouldn't refuse, and he didn't want to embarrass his old friend, but he has been working in the newspaper since he graduated from university, and he regards the newspaper as his own painstaking effort, and he really doesn't want to see it go into decline.

Li Sko pondered for a while. Since he knew that the person who came was Yashin, he knew that he had no way to decline. He also had his own considerations. Literary newspapers still have a great status in the American literary circle, which is beneficial to his future development. .

The principle of despising literati is applicable everywhere. Lisko has made his debut for so long, and his bad remarks have been circulating all the time. This is what every writer will experience. Some people suspected that his book was written by a tutor, but because Lisko had many seniors, they were scattered before it was his turn to fight, so he never responded.

However, the Literary Journal has always been on its side, bearing the brunt of every debate, and Li Sko can't shirk this kind of favor.

And after sending charcoal in the snow, Lisko also gained a prestigious media promotion channel.

Lisko, who made up his mind, spoke.

"No problem, Literary News is my old employer, so I should help at this time."
