Lisco's American Life
358. Reiter
Leiter got up early in the morning, washed briefly, and then opened the refrigerator.
He didn't care when he saw the refrigerator was empty. This was the life of a single man.
Picking up a cup and a milk bottle, I looked at the expiration date on it and saw that it was already more than three days old.
But he didn't care at all and poured a glass directly.
Like many Americans, he believes that the shelf life is only set by the manufacturer, and it has no effect if it exceeds a few days.
I grabbed a raw egg from the fresh-keeping area next to it, peeled it open, and beat it into the milk.
This is his way of ensuring energy for the day, raw eggs and milk.
I drank it in one gulp and wiped the milk stains from the corner of my mouth.
Put on your own military green clothes and get ready to go to business.
Recently, rumors of a gun ban have been heard again, and many colleagues are secretly worried that for those who run gun shops, this proposal will destroy their own jobs.
Leiter has always ignored these rumors. Since the founding of the United States, such rumors have arisen many times, but they can be implemented every time.
Only when real government documents are posted in front of him will he think about it.
If guns are banned in the United States, who will ensure your personal safety? The police in the police station? But stop them, Leiter curled his lips in disdain, they are all a bunch of pot-bellied worms.
Who knows what these politicians are thinking, Leiter feels that instead of focusing on this matter, it is better to think more about how to curb the increasingly powerful drugs.
In disgust, he kicked away the drunkard and drug addict who fell at the door of his house.
He does not reject homeless people. He believes that these people have only temporarily lost their direction in life and will eventually cheer up. However, people who are addicted to alcohol and drugs are different.
They are all groups who have given up on their own lives and are hopeless.
Leiter shook his head and reached out to open the rolling shutter door. A layer of barbed wire appeared in front of the door, and there was an iron gate inside.
The reason why there are so many protections here is because the weapons displayed inside are all powerful guns. If someone comes over in the middle of the night and steals a few, and then commits a major crime, if the suspect cannot be found, Leiter will
To take the blame.
He heard that something like this happened in Texas a few years ago. The owner of a gun store was robbed and a lot of weapons were lost. Then the weapons were found at the scene of the bank robbery, and the store owner was arrested directly.
He was convicted, but his grievances have not been cleared up yet.
On the first day when Leiter accepted his father's property, his father repeated it again and again, so he was very impressed.
Now all the barbed wire fences outside were reinstalled by him. The barbed wires were military items purchased from some channels, and they were not easy for others to open.
Leiter patted it, checked the safety of the barbed wire, and nodded with satisfaction.
Looking inside the house, the walls are hung with powerful weapons, such as the M40 sniper rifle, the most commonly seen gun in movies and TV series, and the famous "Red Gun King" SVD, etc.
Every time a new action gunfight movie appears in Hollywood, Leiter's business is much better than before, because everyone wants to use the weapons used in the movie they just watched, imagining that they have some miraculous marksmanship just like the protagonist.
This group of people were so bewitched by the movie that when they used the gun, they didn't care about the price of the bullets at all. They just fired hard at the target. When they paid the bill, they held their foreheads helplessly and regretted it.
It will happen again next time, man is a forgetful animal.
Leiter's fingers touched the cold surface of the shelf, his expression was indescribably comfortable.
Since returning from the service, he has taken over his family's gun shop. Unlike others, he is not disgusted with such an ending. He has been a relatively taciturn person since he was a child and has few friends. His biggest hobby is shooting guns at his home.
Target practice in the store.
Although the gun is cold, it can give him an unparalleled sense of security.
This state lasted until his father passed away, and Leiter's last relative also passed away. He became completely alone, which made him even more reluctant to go out and wanted to live with these guns every day.
"Hey, Rhett."
Colt drove over in his pickup truck at a fast pace, with pieces of bread still stuffed in his mouth, and his hair was messy. It could be seen that he didn't sleep well.
"Colt."
Leiter's tense face instantly melted away. Ever since the last time everyone went to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, Leiter had entered Colt's circle of friends.
As a military otaku with few friends, Leiter didn't know how to express his emotions, but he was still very happy that Colt could be friends with him.
"Is there any water? I'm going to choke to death."
Colt gasped and tried to swallow the dry bread in his mouth.
Leiter picked up a bottle of water from the counter, which was provided to the customers who came to consume it. Shooting a gun also consumes a lot of energy and water.
Colt unscrewed the bottle and drank a swig before he came back to life.
"Did you hear? Goli gave birth to a boy."
Although Colt had dark circles on his face, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
He has been extremely tired and suffering recently. He has been running back and forth between home and school, and even the video updates have stopped. But every time he sees his son's smile, he is no longer tired and is full of energy.
Got motivated.
"I heard, congratulations, Colt, you became a father."
Leiter was also very happy for his friend.
When Colt gave birth to a child, he also gave him a gift, a crib, and it was a brand-name one. Leiter didn't care about this expense at all. After all, he didn't have much to do with money except for daily life, and there was still money in his bank card.
I have a lot of savings.
It can be said that Leiter has the largest savings among all young people in Garrison.
Except Lisko.
Compared to his friendship with Colt, this small expense is still affordable.
As for why Colt didn't remember to inform Leiter, it was because it was true that he had been too busy recently, and Goli had contacted him about these matters. He was not very clear.
He even thought that he had forgotten his friend Lei Te without notifying him.
"Go and have a look when you have time. I just came to see you." Colt patted Leiter on the shoulder. He knew that his friend was relatively taciturn, so he deliberately helped him in life, especially emotionally. He did this every day I would come to Leite's shop to sit and chat with each other after work and get off work, so that the other person would not be bored.
Leiter understood what Colt said, he nodded and motioned for the other person to go ahead and get busy.
Then he leaned against the door and watched Colt's car drive towards the school.
