Lisko's American life

After the cows had eaten the grass for a few hours on the pasture, and after a good walk, the large group hurried back to the cowshed, and the morning work was completed.

"Sir, the fence of our ranch is a bit old. I saw a hole when I visited the day before yesterday." Lisko was unloading his harness and David followed in.

"It's been a long time. I remember that the fence was surrounded by my father when I was in college. It should be replaced." Lisko's eyes were full of memories.

"By the way, the cowboy will solve it as soon as possible today. I am here waiting for the interview, and then you arrange for the cowboy to change the fence and save the animals to run in." Lisko arranged his work.

"By the way, we will buy some horses. Our manpower will increase, and the number of horses will also increase. This time, if we can't buy the trained horses, we will buy a few and train ourselves."

The last time I bought horses from the ranch, they were trained by the trainer themselves. This kind of horse is docile, but has no characteristics. For cowboys, horses are still very important. Lisko observed that this kind of trained horses are not very good. Popular with old cowboys.

The horse you train has a high degree of tacit understanding when riding, and you know your intentions when you move the horse.

David received the task and quickly went down to arrange it.

Lisko made himself a cup of coffee in the kitchen and prepared a cowboy in the reception room for a while.

It is easy to find good cowboys in the small town, because when they are fine, they will gather in the only tavern, Colt.

And recently, many ranches are not profitable, and most of them are laying off staff, so people are still easy to find.

Lisko plans to hire two people to free up that part of David's work.

The character of the cowboys found in the small town is also guaranteed. Everyone knows the bottom line. The circle of cowboys is very small. Whoever works hard is more reliable. You will know when you inquire.

As soon as I sat down, I saw Uncle Dell, a veterinarian from the town, coming over.

"Hey, Dell, are any cows sick in the ranch?" Liske was a little puzzled. Whose cow is on Dell is sick. An adult cow can sell for $1,100. This is for the small ranch. A great loss.

"No, Li, I have something else to come here." Dale looked lonely.

"Bo is gone, I don't think I have many days." Uncle Dell sat across from Lisko and said dejectedly.

"I hadn't cared about it before, but as soon as Old Fudge and Bo left, my heart felt uncomfortable. You still can't realize the feeling of the death of friends who are not very close to each other in age."

"My grandson Jimmy, you know?" Dale was sad for a while, and finally said his purpose.

He said that Jimmy Liske knew that he was Dell’s only relative. Because his parents died when he was young, he has been living with his grandfather. He is only twenty years old this year.

However, he has a bad reputation in the small town, because he was expelled for drinking and fighting at school very early, and then he intensified, stealing things with a group of punks for a living.

After being caught by the sheriff, he was sent to jail for half a year. After he was released from prison, he couldn't find a job because of his experience. Lisko often saw him squatting on the corner of the town and smoking a cigarette idly.

"Lee, I want Jimmy to work for you. Although he has been tainted, but I know that his heart is not bad, but I can't educate him." Dell has always been cheerful, now because of his grandson, The face is blamed.

Li Sike pondered for a moment. He didn't know whether it was a good thing to take a criminal reform officer into the ranch.

"How do you know that I'm collecting people here?" Liske took a sip of coffee and decided to recruit people tomorrow morning. David probably hasn't left the ranch yet. Is Old Dale's information so well informed?

"It was the rooster who told me that I just came out of him. He gave his cows vitamins, which is much more generous than Bo."

Dell was joking.

When Bo was here, of course he was reluctant to fight that kind of expensive antibiotics. He believed that the older generation would fight nothing, and the cattle would still be healthy.

Rooster's thinking is different again. He knows that in order to save this money, there will be big losses in future accidents.

He thought about it again. The rooster has always lived in the town. If this person is really hopeless, he wouldn't recommend it. Lisko still recognizes the rooster's vision.

"I really have no other way. I am afraid that if I suddenly leave like Bo one day, what can he do."

Dale's face is still useful here in Lisko, after all, this is a person who has a good relationship with his father and is still watching him grow up.

"Let him come over and I'll see you." Li Ske felt that recruiting someone was not a trick. Although this is a novice, just throw it to the old cowboys and let it go.

"Okay, thank you, Li, I'll bring him over right away." Dell grabbed his cowboy hat in surprise and stood up.,

He went out, Lisko stood up and looked at his crooked back.

"Lee," Dale suddenly turned around, tears on his face.

"Thank you for giving him a chance." Dale put his cowboy hat on his chest and bowed to him.

Li Sike looked at this uncle who was inextricably linked with his father, and felt very uncomfortable.

Soon Jimmy was brought over. He was wearing his hat upside down, his yellow hair, and clothes that he hadn’t changed for many days, and his eyes were hazy, as if he had just woke up from a hangover, and he was very thin. .

"Dale, can you want to visit my bullpen and give us some suggestions for our current facilities." Lisko arranged for Dell to go out.

Dale also knew what Lisko meant. He didn't question him. He really went to the cowshed to watch the cows. For an old veterinarian, the cows are his relatives. He is extremely cautious about cows.

After Dale left, Lisko closed the door.

Jimmy was standing across the table, looking down at his toes.

"Sit down." Lisko motioned for him to sit down opposite.

After he was done, he began to speak.

"Old Dale is like my uncle. He has friendship with my father, so I respect him."

Lisko added some cold coffee to his coffee cup.

"Why did you get in?"

"Steal things." Jimmy replied indifferently. He had seen this kind of bridge many times, and every time he asked himself the reason, he would tell himself that he was sorry and couldn't hire.

"Can I trust you?" Lisko took a sip of coffee. Of course he knew why Jimmy went in. He asked just to see if this person was sincere.

"I don't know." Jimmy still didn't care.

"You know, your grandfather bowed to me just now, beg me to accept you." Lisko looked at Jimmy's eyes.

He was disdainful at first, his eyes were a little red at the back, and finally couldn't hold on to tears, covered his face with his hands and wept.

"He’s getting older, and only you are a relative, a character of my uncle, bowed to me for you. I don’t know what you think, and I don’t ask you how to do it. I will only give you one chance if you I can’t catch it, then I’m sorry.” Lisko felt that he was still a little saved. If he heard that his grandfather was still indifferent when he was humble and kneeled, then Lisko would definitely refuse him. Not the Virgin again.
