Lisco's American Life

227. Back to the pasture (thanks to Lao Niu No. 88 again

"No need for this, we can just stay in a hotel."

After listening to Liske's words, the old couple looked at each other, and Zhang You, the head of the family, spoke.

"It's okay, uncle. My house is relatively large, so you don't have to worry about any inconvenience. Moreover, my house is in the countryside, and the air is better. Staying in a hotel will add an expense, which is completely unnecessary. What do you think?"

Lisko had already prepared the draft. He knew that people of Zhang You's age had come from poor times, so the first tenet of life was frugality. For this reason, it was absolutely impeccable.

Zhang Li also tried to persuade her. The main reason was that the security situation in the United States was really worrying. Rather than letting her parents stay in a cheap hotel that was not as safe, she thought it would be better to accept Lisko's kindness. After all, the two of them were already together.

I made a lifelong promise in my heart.

"Mom and Dad, it's true that the United States is not that safe. My apartment is high-end and there are usually no problems. But the same cannot be said for hotels. You don't know the customs here. You might get robbed if you go out at night."

She was afraid that her parents would not be willing to do so, so she deliberately exaggerated the facts. In fact, most hotels in the United States are responsible for the safety of guests, otherwise how could they gain a foothold.

After Li Feng heard what her daughter said was so serious, her attitude became less firm. Anyway, it was the mother-in-law who looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. From the beginning to now, she has been quietly observing Lisko, and overall she is very satisfied.

, careful, no one can say that he is not handsome, and he is also very tall.

Zhang You was also a little embarrassed at this time. He frowned and thought carefully. The main reason was that he couldn't lose face. After all, he was not that familiar with Lisko.

"Really, uncle, it's nothing to trouble. How about you go and see first? Do you like it? If not, I'll find a hotel for you."

Liske looked at Zhang You's eyes sincerely, his eyes full of sincerity.

Zhang You couldn't say no.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you. Xiao,,,,"

"Just call me Xiao Li."

Lisko answered the call, then fastened his seat belt, told everyone else to fasten it as well, and started the car's engine.

The car began to move slowly, leaving the airport and heading towards Garrison.

"Is this an urban area? It doesn't look that developed."

Li Feng curiously stared out the window and looked at the surrounding buildings.

"Auntie, this is the urban area of ​​Denver, but Denver is famous for its tourist attractions and culture, so compared to urban areas in other states, there are not so many high-rise buildings."

While Li Sko was driving, he was also answering Li Feng's questions.

Li Feng understands that there are many cities in China that focus on cultural tourism, and high-rise buildings will destroy the layout of the entire city.

"Xiao Li, what is your main job now?"

Compared to the scenery, Zhang You was more interested in the basic situation of Liske.

"Uncle, I am a writer. The rest of the time I mainly run a ranch, just like a farm in China. My ranch produces beef cattle and vegetables, which are supplied to restaurants and supermarkets."

"Oh! It's covered with land."

Zhang You nodded with some understanding.

"Dad," Zhang Li was dumbfounded as he listened, "in the United States, land has permanent property rights, and people do not lease land. Ranchers still earn millions of dollars in income every year."

"so much."

Zhang You was a little speechless when he heard this, but he was still surprised when he heard about the permanent property rights of the land.

"It means that after you buy it, this land becomes yours? Can you pass it on to your descendants?"

"Yes, that's right, uncle."

"That's good. Land is a hard thing."

Zhang You felt a little emotional, as if it was engraved in his bones. Every Chinese has a deep attachment to the land. Maybe we are all farmers at heart, and this is also due to the rising housing prices in the country.

The car has already driven out of downtown Denver, and both sides of the road are covered with lavender.

"It's so beautiful here."

Even though Li Feng was getting older, her love for beauty remained unchanged. She opened the window next to her, took out the camera she brought specially, and took pictures of the sea of ​​flowers swaying in the wind.

"I must open my eyes to Lao Zhang and the others when I go back. This is so beautiful."

Li Feng looked at the beautiful scenery he took and muttered.

The community where they live has a special senior center. The Lao Zhang mentioned by Li Feng is the sister she met in the senior center. They often chat and play mahjong together and have a good relationship.

"Xiao Li, there is a car behind us. There are two people inside. They have been following us since the airport."

Suddenly, Zhang You looked serious. Although he was older and had been retired from the army for many years, he still had the keen observation skills he developed when he was a scout. Of course, this had nothing to do with the fact that there were fewer cars on American roads.

Hearing what Zhang You said, Li Feng became nervous, and she held her daughter's hand tightly.

"Ah?" Lisko was still looking at the road ahead attentively. When he heard the reminder, his first reaction was a little nervous. When he saw the license plate number behind him in the rearview mirror, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, don't worry, those are my bodyguards. They don't trust me to go out alone, so they follow us all the time. They are not bad people."

Lisko explained.

Zhang Li also looked back and relaxed when he saw the familiar black bulletproof commercial vehicle.

"Is it Charles and the others? Dad, I know that car."

"I see, let me tell you, why are you following us all the time? It turns out it was a false alarm."

Zhang You's tense body relaxed and he touched his nose awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, but uncle is very powerful. You can even observe this."

Lisko flattered him just right to lighten the atmosphere.

"Of course, I'm not just bragging. When I was in the army, I often competed with the top ones based on my skills. If my family hadn't forced me to retire, I might as well have been at the school level."

Zhang You's somewhat proud tone aroused Lisko's agreement. In contrast, his impression of Lisko also improved a lot.

The car continued driving and soon entered the small town of Garrison.

"We're in town now? It looks very laid-back here."

Zhang You looked at the many houses in front of him and looked around curiously.

"Yes, we're in town. We'll be at the ranch in five minutes."

Lisko greeted the familiar people passing by and responded.

"You are very popular,"

"My family has lived here for many years, so everyone knows each other."

When the car arrived in front of the ranch, a huge Chinese sign appeared overhead.

Zhang You felt a sense of intimacy when he saw the rare Chinese characters along the way.

"Here we are, uncle."

Lisko stepped on the brakes and looked back with a smile.
