Lisko's American life

Li Sike's parting melancholy was also diluted by the hot sales of this new book.

The next day, Lisko browsed news about himself on Facebook.

"Li Ske's new book is great. I read it overnight after I got the book. It gave me a lot of insights. The country we live in and this era are undergoing tremendous changes. Everything is changing with each passing day. The development of society is constantly progressing, and people’s thinking and concepts are also changing. Many people become confused and depressed. They gradually forget their ideals, lose their initial enthusiasm, and begin to yearn for mediocrity.

We are a group of children living in the new era. We are naturally accustomed to confusion and troubles, but we should concentrate on seeing what is ahead of us and our way. We should be a group of people with ideals and aspirations.If Holden does not have his pure ideals, then he will fall to the end. It is his ideals that keeps him alive.Ideals are the guiding lights for people. They lead people to the future and to the bright.Our life has just begun. Even though life makes our generation a little confused and hesitant, everything is only temporary, and it will pass away. What we need most now is our ideals."

"The protagonist is full of rebellious colors. He fights, skips classes, smokes, alcohol, etc., are typical rebellious characteristics of adolescent children. He hates school, as well as all the people and things such as teachers and classmates in school. I hope to escape from real life and go to my ideal world, but the disappointment and hesitation of being hit by reality again and again reminds him that there is a gap between ideal and reality.

This is indeed the case. There is a contrast between ideals and reality. Your ideals are often what you can't get in reality but you want to get. The worse the reality, the better the ideal.The ideal can only be realized through our efforts."

"Holden, whether you are in the wheat field or in the wind or rain, please continue to watch. Watch the sincerity that has not been drowned by falsehood, watch the simplicity that has not been stabbed by vanity, watch the love that has not been smeared by vulgarity, watch The dream that is not wrapped in money, fame and fortune, watch all the pure and innocent children."

Li Sike saw these heated discussions and realized that his book is really too popular now, and Random House has also increased its publicity, so this time sales may really be beyond his expectations.

I just posted a Facebook page to thank the readers for their approval, and visitors came to Lisko’s home.

"Lee," Rooster and Colt drove Bo's second-hand pickup to the house.

Lisko opened the refrigerator, took two cans of their favorite beer and threw them over.

"Why come to me in time today?" Lisko poured a glass of water and asked them.

"Colt wants you for something," the rooster wiped the beer from his beard.

"Colt?" Lisko looked at him suspiciously.

Colt was a little embarrassed. He held the beer slowly, not knowing how to speak.

"He had a quarrel with Bo. Recently he planned to propose to Goli. Bo drove him away from the ranch." The cock didn't see Colt chirping and told Lisko directly.

"Have a fight with Bo? So you have no place to live?" Lisko probably guessed what Colt meant.

"No, there is a house outside our ranch, the one in the woods when we were young. Colt lives there now."

Liske recalled the house the rooster said.It was built after Maggie quarreled with Bo when she was young, and it has been for many years.

"Oh, come to think of it, but that house hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and it's still leaking rain. There are spider webs everywhere. Now children treat it as a haunted house."

Colt finally spoke at this time, "Lee, I want to ask if I can come to work on your ranch? I want to marry Goli, but I can't stay without a job, so I can't support my family, Goli's parents I wouldn't want to marry her to an idle trash like me."

Lisko is a bit difficult. The ranch has just enough staff. If you add people, you will have to bear unnecessary salaries, so other cowboys will have opinions. After all, when signing the contract, Lisko stipulated that the ranch should be removed. Divided into cowboys.Now when someone comes in, he has broken his own rules.

But Colt is his own brother from childhood to adulthood. He rarely asks for help if he has any difficulties, and he will appear unkind if he refuses.

Colt saw Lisko’s embarrassment, "It’s okay Li, in fact, I just asked, don’t be too embarrassed. I have been out for so many years, and I have almost forgotten about the things on the ranch. If I come to work, I still have to restart. educational."

There is nothing to say about the rooster. As the head of the ranch, Colt is his younger brother. He really understands Lisko's difficulties.

Suddenly, Lisko looked up, "Colt, where have you been working for so many years?"

Colt was a little embarrassed. After all, he came back dingy after many years of going out. This kind of thing has always been deliberately avoided.

"After I left home, I joined the Florida Golden Eagles as a defensive end. After playing for a season without any results, I was cut, and then I turned to various clubs as a substitute until I Come back." Colt slowly relieved as he said, "I even often go to college for a while to do sparring for others, for a salary of ten dollars a day."

Liske interrupted him, "That's it, would you like to go to Garrison Middle School as a football coach?"

"Coach? I don't have a coaching license. At first, someone suggested that I take one. I was arrogant thinking that I would definitely be able to score in the league and be promoted to the first team, so I refused." Colt now thinks about it somewhat. regrettable.

Li Ske picked up the phone, broadcasted a number, and motioned to the next two.

"Principal Moss? This is Liske."

There was a hearty laughter on the other side of the phone, "Lee, how are you doing? I read your new book, which is great. I'm planning to report it to the school board recently and list this book as a must-read for the school recommended by the school. "

Lisko responded politely, "Really? That's really thankful. Come and sit here? I have custom-made Cuban cigars that I brought back from my instructor. They taste very good.

"Of course, I will definitely not be absent with cigars. I also taste the custom-made high-end goods that literary artists enjoy privately,"

Liske greeted a few words, and then went directly to the topic, "Principal Moss, do you remember Colt in our school? The one who played football,"

Moss on the other end of the phone thought for a while."Remember, I still followed the Golden Eagles game at that time. I think their coach is an idiot. He always puts Garrison's pride on the bench. Later I heard that he was cut."

"Yes, that's the Colt. Now the school honor column has photos of him leading the school football team to the top 30 in the national middle school football game."

"Bo's son, our school team has never played Cordorola since he left. He did a little better that year. There must be a university willing to admit him, but he insisted on going to the club." Moss said in a tone. With regret, he has been the principal for twenty years and regards Garrison Middle School as his home.

"Colt was at home recently. I wonder if it is possible to bring a former club-level football coach to our Garrison Middle School to save the school team we have already laid off?" Lisko tentatively proposed his own. purpose.

"Of course," Moss thought for a while and agreed, just as he wanted to lay off the ineffective coach from the school team.

"But there is a problem. Colt doesn't have a football coach certificate. This is a difficult problem."

"It doesn't matter. He can enter the job first. I will find a relationship to arrange for him to take the test directly after three weeks. He used to be a professional player. No one in Garrison knows how to play games better than him." Moss has a very attitude. clear.

"Well, I will arrange for him to go to your office for an interview in the afternoon. I hope he can meet your requirements. I will also wait to see our Garrison Middle School play the state game again."
