Lisko's American life
Chapter 8
Although he now has assets, carefree, and status, occasionally he still feels lonely alone.
The next day, Lisko got up and printed and packed the manuscripts, bound them in kraft paper bags, and drove to Garrison.
Parked the pickup at the entrance of the tavern, Lisko put the cowhide bag in the postbox on the side of the road and pushed open the door of the tavern.
Life in the small town here is always slow. Just after the morning, there are already drunks sitting in twos and threes in the pub, some discussing the ball game on the TV on the wall, some scolding politicians together, and a few wretched ones. Driving dirty jokes.
Maggie still wiped the glass at the bar as always,
"Morning, Maggie."
Li Sike stepped forward and gave her a hug, "Have you been home to live recently?"
Maggie took a bottle of beer from the back counter, "No, I have been separated from Bo for many years, and I think my RV is great."
After Maggie and Bo separated, she bought a second-hand RV in the backyard of the tavern.
"When Colt is back, won't you go back and stay for a few days?"
Liske declined the beer handed over and poured a glass of milk from the counter.
"No, Colt will come here if he wants to accompany me. I have an extra bed in my RV." Maggie smiled mischievously. "Did you not have breakfast?"
Liske had finished drinking the milk and wiped the milk stains on the corners of his mouth, "No, I came to town when I got up, and went to mail a document today."
"Then I'll make you a sandwich? It's the one you love most when you go to school." Maggie's eyes are full of doting, Lisko's mother passed away very early, and she often slept at Bo's house when she was a child. Eat less Maggie's breakfast.
Maggie put down the cup and went into the house to make breakfast. Lisko helped to greet the guests at the counter.
"Mark Twain, a glass of wine." Herman, the drunkard in town, shouted from the bar.
"Herman, you still owe five glasses of wine and you haven't paid." Lisko turned his head and looked at the ledger by the bar.
"In a few days, the relief money will be settled. First, get me a glass. A good day starts with whiskey." Herman raised his eyebrows.
Lisko shook his head speechlessly, poured a glass of whiskey, wiped the side of the glass, and stepped back in front of him, "I asked it."
Herman quickly took it, and drank half of it in one sip, "Thank you, I think I feel a lot better with a hangover now. I don't know who touched me by the road yesterday, but it chilled me hard in the morning."
Herman was also a good cowboy in middle age. He started drinking when he was old and not married. He found someone to get a certificate of disability. He received the subsidy from Zhouli every month. He was either drunk or drunk every day. On the way, many such drunks and homeless people in the United States do not know where to wake up every day.
Maggie quickly made the sandwich. Lisko poured another glass of milk, found a seat and sat down, took a bite and gave it a thumbs up in Maggie's direction.
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and a blonde girl walked in, with a bumpy figure that attracted everyone's attention. The drunks in the tavern whistled, the girl's face was cold, her glass-colored pupils swept around, and she walked to the bar. .
"A glass of whiskey."
She sat in the position and touched her long curly hair. She was wearing a plaid jacket with close-fitting jeans inside. Her wheat-colored skin was shining in the light.
Although it looks a little immature, Lisko recognized this sexy stunner at a glance, the heroine Megan Fox in "Transformers".
After watching "Transformers", Li Sike went to search for her information. She is probably only 20 years old this year. She has not yet played the role that made her popular. Now she is still a third-rate little actor.
On the one hand, Li Sike was attracted by her when she watched "Transformers". The motorcycle girl she played was wearing denim shorts, leaking a small waist and hips, and opened the front cover of the car in the dim sunset. Li Sike took a screenshot and made a computer screen display.She just doesn't know why she should work hard in Hollywood now in the small town of Garrison.
Lisko wiped his mouth after eating the sandwich, returned the milk glass to Maggie, took out a Franklin, and handed it to Maggie, "I'll take this glass."
He pointed to Megan who was drinking, and Maggie took the banknotes with smiles between her eyes.
Megan raised his head and glanced at this exquisite half-blooded guy, whose temperament was incompatible with this tavern.
"Meghan Fox." She raised her glass and shook it in salute.
Lisko took the beer that Maggie brought, and touched a glass, "I know you, "Hope and Faith", you are an actor."
Megan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the little third-rate little actor himself would be recognized.
"There are also "Holidays in the Sun" and "The Queen of the Youth Prom". Lisko said two more films she participated in.
"Oh my God, how did you know that I just played a small role without a name."
"You know, you are so charming, I saw you at a glance in the movie, I think you are more attractive than the starring. You will definitely become popular in the future." Lisko's rainbow fart went up one after another.
Megan's mood has been a little low and began to overflow. She did not expect that she would be noticed as a small supporting role. Recently, her acting career has become bleak. She is still considering whether to give up acting and return to her own. He is in the model industry.
"But you should shine in Hollywood, why are you in Garrison? Are you filming around here?"
Lisko asked suspiciously.
Talking about this, Megan's mood is a bit depressed, "I have been walking around recently, and my aunt lives here. I came to relax. Recently, my career is not going well. There is no company looking for me to film. I may have to go back and continue. Be a model."
Lisko picked up the bottle and clinked glasses with her, "Don't be discouraged, I'm sure you will have a chance soon."
Megan only thought he was comforting himself and accepted his encouragement somewhat happily. Only Lisko knew that soon the "Transformers" crew would notice her and ask her to act, and then she would walk into everyone His sight is very popular.
"My name is Lisko, I'm a farmer, are you going to visit my farm?" Lisko sent out an invitation.
Megan thought for a while, and carefully looked at Lisko's delicate face, and throbbed at him, "Okay, I happen to have nothing else."
Lisko bid farewell to Maggie and walked out of the tavern with Megan in a joke.
Pickup quickly drove back to the ranch, Lisko parked the car in the garage and took Megan back to the villa.
During the conversation on the road, I learned that Megan's uncle opened a farm machinery shop in Garrison. Lisko knew when he heard that the ranch had just opened up or bought the seeds at his house.
"What to drink? Water? Coffee?" Liske opened the refrigerator.
Megan looked around. Although it was a ranch villa, the decoration was exquisite, there were still some Chinese ink paintings on the walls, and the kitchen utensils were also very famous and expensive brands.
"coffee."
Megan touched the fabric of the sofa, "Are you really a farmer? The farmer can't earn so much money to buy these expensive decorations." Megan was a model before acting, and often shot some commercials, very easily I found the expensive price of home furnishings.
Liske watched her look around, "I'm still a writer."
Megan thought carefully about Lisko, a familiar name, and suddenly looked at him in surprise, "Are you the Lisko? Nobel nominated that?"
Authors and the entertainment industry have always been deeply involved. Lisko's two books were sold to Warner Hollywood for adaptation. It is said that Warner has invested a total of 30 million US dollars in the shooting.However, Lisko didn't pay attention to it after selling the copyright. Megan must have heard of it in the entertainment industry.
"Yes, but Nobel failed." Lisko took the ground coffee and handed it to her. "Try it. This is German Grant coffee from a friend."
Megan tasted it briefly, "Cappuccino, it's delicious."
Liske smiled and drank a little.
"I heard that two of your books have been produced, and the heroines are all played by Jennifer Connelly."
"I haven't paid attention to this issue. The best way to express a work is text. Adapting it into a film may expand its influence and lose the charm of text presentation."
Megan looked at Li Sike, a great writer in his twenties, with outstanding looks, introverted and golden, and his literary temperament is also very attractive.
