Lisko's American life

Lisko lived in a small town hotel. There are a lot of things he needs to do next. Some time ago, Locke and his boyfriend both resigned because they agreed to go to Massachusetts to get married, because the state capital approved the state change the year before. Government law has become the first state in the United States where gay marriages are possible.

The rooster can't help it, it can't stop others from pursuing happiness.

After the incident, Rooster must follow his will and prepare to take over his own ranch. Colt has his own ranch and tavern. Lisko's own ranch does not know who to take over.

And the number of cowboys is not enough, at least two more people are needed, but cowboys are good, because the welfare of Li's ranch is famously good, and many people want to come in and work.

Lisko pulled out his black suit from the clothes under the pressure box. He touched it, his face was full of exclamation.

Since his father passed away, he bought this dress, thinking that he might not be able to use it for a long time, but he did not expect to use it again in just two years.

With a white shirt, black suit, and black leather shoes, Lisko also wore a black hat.

The overall shape is full of seriousness and condolences, with a small white yellow flower pinned on the chest. In the United States, yellow and white are the colors of condolences.

Colt was arranged to go to newspapers to register obituaries. In the United States, obituaries in newspapers are a profit method for many newspapers. When people who have subscribed to newspapers get the newspapers, they are not the headlines at first glance. , But the obituary column, because there may be people you know, you have to decide whether to go to the memorial service.

The form of obituaries generally has its own format. The obituary editor of newspapers is also a very good profession. This content is generally the life and achievements of the owner, his contribution to society and his children.

Bo lived on his father’s ranch in his early years. After graduating from school, he joined the army and went to the battlefield in Vietnam. After retiring, he took over his own ranch. Now he has two sons, Bo and Colt, and a daughter in his early years. However, he died of illness when he was just one year old. This is a taboo in their family, and no one mentioned it.

Funerals in the United States are generally divided into three steps. The first is to pay tribute. On the day before the burial, everyone pays tribute to the remains of the dead, expresses their condolences and misses, and visitors comfort their relatives and cheer.

The second step is to hold a memorial service during the burial. The pastor will reciting the eulogy, usually in the church, and relatives and friends will come on stage to share memories with the deceased, and children’s choirs will sing hymns. They don’t believe in religion, so the part of singing poetry is eliminated.

Finally, Bo'an will be buried in their family cemetery. The three sides of the south, east, west and west are buried their ancestors. The north is the place where suicide and guilty people are buried in the Bible, so it is vacant.

The format of the entire funeral was solemn and quiet. There was no howling and weeping. Everyone mourned and missed silently, and there was no banquet.

The surrounding cemetery is planted with water pine, each with lush branches, standing upright around the tombstone.

The entire funeral is very expensive, but Bo has bought all the insurances during his lifetime, including accidental death insurance. They cover all the funeral expenses. This insurance is very popular in the United States after 60 years of age. It's because people want to leave wealth instead of debt to their descendants.

Li Sike followed for three days, filling Bo's cemetery with soil and turf, and it was completely over.

"Rooster, Colt, let's sit down together."

Li Sike called the two who were leaving after the ceremony.

I drove to the place where Lisko currently lives, the only house with a living room in the hotel in the town.

Because there are ranches near Garrison, this kind of hotel is still a bit of business. In the United States, most people like to take time out for self-driving trips every year. There are really wolves sleeping in the wild here, and all the small hotels on the roadside are also Has not been eliminated.

Lisko took out the glass and poured some whiskey for the three of them. Because the next thing to talk about is a strategy that will be implemented for a long time in the future, it is better to drink some wine to ease the atmosphere.

"Rooster, are you going to take over Bo's ranch?"

Lisko offered wine glasses to both of them.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The rooster's expression contained self-blame. He thought he could work in Lisko's ranch for a long time. He didn't expect that his ranch could not be deserted because of unexpected circumstances.

"It doesn't matter," Lisko waved his hand and didn't care, because he knew that this matter could not be complained.

"So I'm looking for a big housekeeper again?" Liske had a headache. Ranch managers are not so easy to find. You should find someone you trust and whose character is guaranteed.

"Lee." The rooster drank the wine in his glass in one sip, followed his breath, and said what he was pressing in his heart.

"I always think you are incompatible with Garrison, you are a rancher, you should try to do it yourself."

"En?" Li Sike didn't expect the cock to suggest that to him.

"You can try to let David manage, then manage the finances, and at the same time try to let yourself understand the flow and situation of the pasture. You didn't care about it before, it's not good." After the rooster's suggestion was said Looking at Lisko, he was worried that Lisko would be angry because of it. After all, his tone meant a bit of responsibility.

"Yes," Colt also interjected, "You are the offspring of cowboys, but you don't seem to like ranch."

Li Ske frowned. He was thinking about professional things for professionals to do before. He didn't expect to lose his duty. It may be that his own thinking has not changed.

"Okay, yes. Then I will take over the ranch and David will manage the ranch." Lisko felt that their advice was very relevant. He is a rancher and cannot be indifferent.

And he is still a little eager to try, isn't life just to be good at trying different things to be exciting?

"Rooster, you are going to apply for an agent from the Animal Husbandry Association." Li Ske figured out some things.

In the United States, the Livestock Industry Association is an organization dedicated to serving ranchers. They investigate all the abnormal deaths of cattle and sheep.

The battle between ranchers is not so obvious. If anyone wants to mess it up, the loss may be all the cattle in this ranch, losing millions of dollars at a time. Therefore, the state has set up an animal husbandry association, usually by Cowboys in the ranch.

They will investigate the cattle and sheep that died abnormally, look for the murderer, and have the right to hand over to the police.

It is also a department with relatively large authority in the state.
