Lisko's American life

Liske teased a few words on the phone, and his mood became happy. He never knew where to start on the huge farm. Now that he has a familiar childhood friend to help him, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Going downstairs, eating a sandwich made of jasmine and ham, drinking a glass of milk, Li Sike also felt full of energy.

He came to the study, opened his notebook, and looked at the words "Welcome to Writer li" in the boot animation. Lisko was also somewhat surprised by Apple's sincerity.

Opening the document, Lisko put his chin in his hands, thinking about how to proceed with his new book.

His first two books have already made him famous in the world of literary circles, but the time is short, he just touched the top of the circle, and now he needs a help that can make him stand firm. Let his background increase again.

He pondered for a long time, then reached out and typed the title of the book "The Catcher in the Rye".

Holden was a 16-year-old born in a wealthy middle class. After being expelled from school for the fourth time, he did not dare to go home rashly. He wandered for a day and two nights in the busiest New York City in the United States, staying in a small inn. Going to nightclubs, making casual girlfriends, drunk... he saw all the ugliness of capitalist society and came into contact with all kinds of people, most of whom were "fake" hypocrites.

Holden could hardly understand what was happening around him. He even wanted to escape from the real world and pretend to be a deaf and dumb person in a remote country. But it was impossible to do so. As a result, he could only live in Among the contradictions: he hates movies the most in his life, but he has to spend time in the cinema while he is bored; he hates sexual relations without love, but he calls prostitutes vaguely; he hates the vanity and vulgar girlfriend Sally, But she was obsessed with her beauty, and couldn't help but hug her.

Therefore, even though he could not get used to the world, he had to be depressed and frustrated, comforted himself with all kinds of unrealistic fantasies, deceived himself and others, and finally inevitably compromised with the real society and could not become a real rebellion. This can be said to be Holden’s The tragedy lies.

This book has a high status in the literary world. Anger and anxiety are the two main themes of this book. The audience is teenagers, which can resonate with them.

Liske’s first two books are aimed at adults. Starting from adolescence this time, he can expand his influence and stabilize his position, and the literary cultivation of this book can also bring him rewards in awards.

After Li Ske made up his mind, his fingers flew like flying. Thanks to the favor of crossing, he also read many world famous books when he was a young literary man. Now he recalls every word clearly.

Soon, time passed in the enrichment of the codewords. Li Ske looked at the progress and had already completed one-fifth of it. After all, he was copying, so he didn't need to think too much.

He stretched his sluggish waist, moved his muscles and bones, and was about to go out. Various diseases in his previous life have taught him a lesson. Good health is everything, but he is still very satisfied with his 22-year-old body.

He walked downstairs slowly, poured a glass of warm water, and saw Jasmine busy on the side of the yard.

"Hey. Jasmine, what are you up to?"

Jasmine turned her head, sweat stains on her forehead, "Boss, I'm growing some vegetables, lettuce, and carrots. I'm already done."

Lisko saw that there was really no need for help, so he got up and went to the garage to pick and choose, and drove a Chevrolet SUV to and from town.

In the town, the tavern is still so lively, Lisko just opened the door and met a bunch of greetings.

"Hey, Mark Twain."

"Welcome back, little cowboy."

"Lee, do you need a cowboy?"

A bunch of middle-aged American men with big belly speak one after another.

Li Sike waved to the surroundings.

"Everyone, a glass of beer, I treat you."

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

The drunks slapped the table as soon as they heard it, and Sco, who listened to this rhythm, wanted to shake his legs.

Maggie smiled and cursed, and then a glass of beer was delivered.

Then she first picked up a cup and handed it to Lisko, then raised the cup by herself.

"Respect Litum."

The bar suddenly became quiet, everyone raised their glasses,

"Jing Tem."

Liske drank it with everyone. Maggie’s beer was brewed from Bo’s farm with wheat. It was slightly bitter, but it was unexpectedly mellow. I heard that it inherited Maggie’s father’s craftsmanship. Secretly brewing wine to the gold prospectors on the West Coast.

Maggie greeted Lisko to sit down at the bar, and poured Lisko a glass of wine, "Sco, thank you for giving the rooster a job."

Lisko quickly replied, "No, no, no, I want to thank him for helping me, you know, if he doesn't help me, I might not have the confidence to run a ranch."

"Bo always treats him as a child, fearing that he will break free from his rein. He always treats his child as a cow in the ranch. So Colt is always reluctant to come back."

Li Sike didn't know how to reply to this kind of family affairs, so he had to raise his cup to respect Maggie.

After talking to the alcoholics in the bar for a while, Lisko got up and went out to the pet shop in the town. He plans to buy a pet and go back today. Living alone is a bit lonely.

The pet business in the United States is very developed, and you can buy all kinds of pets here.And many Americans treat pets as their family members.

Li Ske opened the door and saw Go Li who was busy at a glance. This was his junior high school classmate and Colt's first love.

"Golly."

Gory raised her head and suddenly smiled.

"Look at who this is, great writer Mark Twain. I heard that you're back a long time ago. How's it going? Has the town changed much?"

Lisko shrugged, "Nothing has changed. It's still so quiet and life is so slow. People are enjoying life. Unlike in the city, the most common people are white-collar workers running with their bags."

Goli came over and hugged him, "I heard you plan to settle here?"

"Of course, my ancestors are here. Have you been in contact with Colt recently?"

Ge Li suddenly had a dim look in her eyes, "I'm going to get married soon. The last time I contacted him was two years ago. I heard that he was about to enter the first team. After watching the news, he had a fight and was expelled from the club. There was no news. "

Lisko quickly changed the subject, "Are you going to get married? When?"

Goli smiled, "A few more months, we just discussed it and decided to get married,"

"Wow, very happy, what does he do?"

"A lawyer." Goli looked happy. "He works at the Schenck Law Firm."

Li Sike blessed her, "I came to choose a pet today, you know, I live alone, always a little lonely."

Speaking of her major, Goli started to be serious, "What do you like?"

"A dog. Be good."

Goli thought about it, went into the kennel and picked a small black and silver dog.

"This is a Schnauzer. It is a German dog. It is a cross between a German lion and a wire-haired Doberman Pin. It is most suitable for farmers. He was bred to the nursery and rat hunting. He is healthy, intelligent and loyal. , No hair loss, no body odor."

Li Sike was somewhat satisfied when he heard that he would not shed hair.He took a closer look. The dog had a cool appearance, big black eyes, and it looked lively, with the same ears, with sharp corners facing upwards.

Liske thought for a while, "It's called McGonagall."

As soon as Goli heard it, he started packing. Lisko then chose dog food, reins, kennels, and the dog breeding manual that Goli wrote to him. After paying five hundred dollars, Lisko hugged McGonagall as he wished. In his arms ready to go home.

On the way back, Lisko shook with music, McGonagall looked around, and it looked a little confused when he was still young.

Lisko got home, prepared the kennel and dog food, and gave him a bowl of warm water. Goli specifically explained that he could not feed milk and meat for the first two months.

McGonagall has just been born for more than a month, he sniffed the dog food in the rice bowl, and quickly ate it happily. Lisko touched his soft head, and he was in a much happier mood. He felt that his future life should be joyful. a little.

After busying with McGonagall’s affairs, Lisko went back upstairs and continued to work hard on codewords. The full text of the book "The Catcher in the Rye" is only 160,000 words. He intends to finish it in the next few days. Part of it has been finished. It was also sent to his own literary agent. The agent contacted Random House for publication. The specific royalties were also negotiated by them. The literary agent was also responsible for the various copyright authorizations of the writer. Li Sko felt that this was much more convenient than doing it himself. , What I paid is only a small part of the rake.
