Lisco'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 a sleepy Lisko and Rooster. They were going to Fudge's ranch for a field trip today.

Fudge's ranch is not very big. It is backed by woods and across the back of Bo's house. The three of them used to play here when they were children.

Arriving at the door, Colt knocked on the door hesitantly.

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

The three of them were so frightened that they quickly raised their hands.

Fudge looked at the three of them without putting down the shotgun in his hand.

"Boss from the Bo family and Temu's son, why are you here? Did Bo's old conscience find out and send you here to apologize?"

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

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

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

"Colt, FUCK" the cock went up and punched him,

Colt knew he was in the wrong. In such a situation, he should have informed the rancher a few days in advance. Visiting at random would really cause unnecessary misunderstandings, not to mention that the person he was dealing with was a stubborn old man and had conflicts with Bo.

The three of them entered the house. The decoration here was very simple, and it was obvious that the owner's family was very poor.

The yard is still surrounded by a stone wall, and the entire house is made of wood. There is an iron barrel in the center of the yard, and a bonfire made of wood is burning in it.

The three of them followed Fudge's footsteps and came to the campfire together. He stared at the three of them without saying a word.

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

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

"I have cancer, it's terminal, and I need money to settle the rest of my life."

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

"It doesn't matter," Fudge waved his hand nonchalantly. He has lived to be over sixty now, and he can no longer work. The ranch was purchased by him in his early years. Unfortunately, he is alone. His only daughter died due to the death of her mother.

She also has a bad relationship with him and is unwilling to inherit his dilapidated small ranch.

"Someone has already inquired about the price of my ranch. It's the Rees Company in Denver. If you want to buy it, make a decision as soon as possible. At the same price, I will give priority to selling to you. You are the true descendants of cowboys," Fudge reminded kindly.

Three of them.

"Reese?" Rooster was a little surprised, because Danvers Company is an agricultural company. They like to acquire pastures and manage them through full industrialization. Under this model, they have slowly acquired many large pastures, and at the same time, their assembly line operations will be greatly improved.

The price of small farmers’ by-products is suppressed, so they are not very popular with traditional ranchers.

However, Rees Company usually acquires large contiguous ranches. In order to facilitate management, Rooster has no idea why it acquired Fudge's small ranch this time.

Fudge led the three people around the pasture. The pasture was now very depressed. Not a single cow was left. The only thing left was a scrawny old horse. This was Fudge's partner. He had stated in advance that he would take it away.

of.

The pasture is overgrown with weeds, and the grass has long since withered. If you buy it and replant it, the groundwater resources are still very rich because it is under the same water branch as the Lisko family pasture.

It covers an area of ​​more than fifty acres, one acre is more than six acres in China, and is as big as four or five football fields. It is only suitable for raising cattle and sheep in small quantities and growing some vegetables to meet the needs of ranchers. The annual profit is about

It costs about US$20,000, but the area is small and there are not that many expenses. The cattle and sheep ranchers can just graze the cattle and sheep themselves.

However, the small houses in the ranch are very dilapidated, and if you buy them, you will have to spend money to renovate them.

Overall, I think Lisko is a good fit for Colt. He has a leisurely job as a football coach, and spends his time drinking every day after work taking care of the ranch. In the future, he and Goli will have a place to get married and live, and both of them have jobs.

, take care of the ranch in your spare time, and you can still save tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is very suitable.

After Lisko told his idea to the backward rooster, he was not as opposed as before. Although the concept of family affection is relatively weak in the United States as an adult, it is good for the two brothers to live next to each other. The three of them met to discuss together.

, the tone was that it was a good win.

After saying goodbye to the weird old man Fudge, the three of them discussed it 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 when I bought this ranch. When the time comes, my and Goli's children can still go to school in the town. What a wonderful life." Colt didn't blush at all. He was thinking about being angry at the time.

But Bo's attitude towards him was that he wanted to buy it to show off his anger against Bo Bi.

The purchase of the ranch was settled. Fudge quoted them $200,000. To be honest, the price was not high, but it was also reasonable. Even if old Fudge had a bad relationship with Beau, he still watched the three of them grow up.

Big, he still hopes to leave the ranch to Colt, who likes ranch life.

After the three broke up, they went home. Colt went to the bank to inquire about the loan. With his qualifications, he should be able to get it easily. He now has a high-quality job, and it is easy to get approved for a loan to buy a ranch.

When the rooster came home, Bo happened to be basking in the sun on the sofa in the yard at the door.

Since Bo's body underwent an operation, Rooster usually goes home to live and take care of his own pasture. Bo's pasture is a little bigger than old Foggy's, so Bo takes care of it alone on weekdays.

Only Lisko's ancestors were obsessed with land and frantically purchased land to expand the pasture area.

"Bo, I'm going to see the calf." Rooster said hello to Bo and planned to go out.

"Did you know Colt was going to buy a ranch?" Bo squinted his eyes.

The rooster stopped trying to go out,

"Know"

"You want to lend him money?"

"Yes" Rooster replied calmly. He didn't want to get involved in the war between his brother and his father.

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

.

"He is my brother. If he needs it, I will lend it to him." Rooster was silent for a while.

"A guy who didn't play football well and found a job with Lee's help is now going to be a rancher?"

Rooster didn't reply. He opened the door and walked out. He didn't remember his words until the door closed.

"I'd give him a try, he's the son of a cowboy."

The footsteps faded away, and Bo was still sitting in a daze, expressionless for a long time, with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Bad boys."
