Lisko's American life

Lisko hung up the phone and shrugged helplessly.

Packed the pudding and sent it home to Little Willow.

Early the next morning, Colt set off with the sleepy Lisko and the rooster. They are going to Fudge's ranch today for a field trip.

Fudge’s ranch is not very big, with its back leaning on the woods, just behind the Bo’s house. When they were young, the three of them used to play here.

When he reached the door, Colt knocked on the door hesitantly.

Soon, an old man with a white beard opened the door, still holding a shotgun in his hand.

The three of them raised their hands quickly.

Fudge looked at the three of them and did not put down the shotgun in his hand.

"Bo's little boy and Tem's son, what are you doing here? Did Bo an old and immortal conscience find that sending you over to apologize?"

"No, no, you put the gun down first, we want to buy your ranch." Colt swallowed, and plucked up the courage to reach out and move the muzzle of the shotgun down.

Fudge narrowed his eyes, put his shotgun away, and walked in.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Lisko felt that his back was soaked.

"Colt, FUCK" the rooster went up and punched him.

Colt knew he was wrong. In this case, the rancher should be informed a few days in advance. Random visits would really cause unnecessary misunderstandings. What's more, the target was a stubborn old man who had contradictions with Bo.

The three of them entered the house. The decorations here are very simple and it can be seen that the owner's family is very tight.

The yard is still surrounded by a stone wall. The whole house is made of wood. There is an iron bucket in the center of the yard with a bonfire made of wood.

The three followed Fudge's footsteps and came to the campfire together. He stared at the three and did not speak.

"Fudge, why do you want to sell the ranch?" Colt asked him first.

Fudge smiled, took the flask from his pocket, unscrewed it and took a sip.

"I have cancer, advanced stage, and I need money to settle the rest of my life."

"Cancer? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Colt didn't expect this answer either. He thought it was Fudge's daughter who came back to pick him up to enjoy the blessing, and the people in the town also passed it on.

"It's okay," Fudge waved his hand indifferently. He has lived more than sixty now, and slowly can't do anything. The ranch was bought by him in his early years. It is a pity that he is lonely and his only daughter is because of the death of his mother. He didn't have a good relationship with him, and he didn't want to inherit his shabby small pasture.

"Someone has asked the price for my ranch. It is Denver's Reese Company. If you buy it, decide as soon as possible. At the same price, I will sell it to you first. You are the real offspring of cowboys," Fudge also kindly reminded The three of them.

"Reese?" The rooster was a little surprised, because Danfoss is an agricultural company. They like to buy pastures by fully industrialized management. Under this model, they have slowly acquired a lot of large pastures, and their assembly line operations will be greatly improved. It suppresses the price of small agricultural by-products, so it is not very popular with traditional ranchers.

However, the Reese Company generally buys those contiguous large pastures. For the convenience of management, the roosters don't understand why they will buy Fudge's small pastures this time.

Fudge led the three of them around the ranch. The ranch is now very depressed. There is no cow. The only thing left is a scrawny old horse. This is Fudge’s partner. He famously said in advance that he would take it away. of.

The pastures are overgrown with weeds, and the pastures have already withered. If the pastures are to be replanted, the groundwater resources are still abundant because they are under the same water branch as the Liske’s pasture.

The area is more than 50 acres. One acre is more than 6 acres in China. It is as large as four or five football fields. It is only suitable for small batches of cattle and sheep, planting some vegetables, and going out to the ranchers. The annual profit is about About 20,000 US dollars, but the area is small and there is not so much expenditure. It is good for the cattle and sheep ranchers to graze themselves.

However, the huts in the ranch are very shabby. If you buy it, you will have to spend money to repair it.

Li Ske generally seems to be very suitable for Colt. The football coach’s job is leisurely, and he spends his drinking time around after get off work every day to take care of the ranch. In the future, he and Goli will get married and live, and both of them have jobs. , Take care of the ranch in your spare time, and you can save tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is very suitable.

After Lisko talked about his ideas to the backward cock, he was not as opposed to him as before. Although the concept of family affection in the United States after adulthood is relatively weak, it is good for the brothers to live next to each other. The three meet together. After deliberation, the tone always felt that it was not a loss to win.

Saying goodbye to the weird old man Fudge, the three discussed on the way back to the ranch. Lisko told Colt his thoughts, and his eyes were full of yearning.

"Of course, that's what I thought of when I bought this ranch. When the time comes, Goli and I can still go to school in the town. What a wonderful life. "Colt doesn't blush at all. What he thought was angry. But Bo's attitude towards him is that he wants to buy and vent his anger with Bobby.

The purchase of the ranch was ordered.The price that Fudge gave them was 200,000 US dollars. To be honest, the price was not high, but it was reasonable. Even if the relationship between Old Fudge and Bo was not good, he still watched the three of them grow up. Leave it to Colt who loves ranch life.

After the three broke up, they went home. Colt went to the bank to find out the reason for the loan. He should be able to get it done well with his qualifications. He now has a high-quality job, and it is easy to get a loan to buy a ranch.

When the rooster came home, Bo just soaked in the sun on the yard sofa at the door.

Since Bo’s body undergoes an operation, the rooster will usually go home to live and take care of his own ranch by the way. Bo’s ranch is also a little larger than Old Foggy’s, so Bo takes care of it by himself. Only Lisko’s ancestors were obsessed with land and bought land crazy to increase the area of ​​the ranch.

"Bo, I'm going to see the Mavericks." The rooster said hello to Bo and planned to go out.

"Do you know that Colt wants to buy a ranch?" Bo squinted.

The rooster stopped trying to go out,

"know"

"You want to lend him money?"

"Yes" the rooster answered calmly, he didn't want to get involved in the war between his brother and his father.

"He is a third-rate rugby player. He has left home since he was a child. Do you think he will take care of the ranch well? Your money must have been lost." Bo's words are full of disdain for his younger son. .

"He is my brother, if he needs it, I will lend him." The rooster was silent for a while.

"A man who didn't do a good job in rugby and found a job with Li's help now is going to be a rancher?"

The rooster didn't reply, opened the door and walked out. The door closed before remembering his words.

"I'm willing to let him try, he is the son of a cowboy."

The sound of footsteps went away, Bo was still sitting in a daze, expressionless, for a long time, the corners of his mouth turned upward.

"Boys."
