Lisco's American Life

Recently, Lisko fell in love with billiards, and the billiards culture is still very famous in the United States. Colt helped Maggie manage the tavern, and Goli came to help from time to time, so he paid for several billiard tables and placed them

In the tavern, it won unanimous praise from the drunkards in the town.

He had already earned his money back just a week after buying it. Colt has also been very arrogant recently. He is really fed up with Beau and Maggie always treating him as a child in his twenties. Maybe this

It must also be the sequelae of him being away from home for so long. They always focus on the age at which Colt left.

Lisko tried to play a few games. When he was bored, he came to the tavern to play a few games and bet beer with a group of people. At the beginning, he always lost and invited everyone in the tavern to drink. Later, after he got used to it, he started to go back and forth.

, but the generous Lisko is still the most popular person in the tavern.

After hanging out in the tavern a lot, I always saw a lot of people and things, and Lisko gradually became infected with the atmosphere of fireworks. He was no longer so repellent, and he also learned about the conditions of many people in the town from the conversations.

.

Oss, the construction foreman who is now playing with Lisko, was Colt's teammate back then. However, he was not as lucky as Colt. He was selected by the club. Even if he has not yet played, he can easily do so with his qualifications.

Engaged in a career related to football coaching.

Os's father was an alcoholic, and his mother died early. When he was in school, he was very successful on the rugby team, but he didn't get ahead, and his grades were not good. He dropped out of school early, and he didn't have any skills. He could only follow others to do construction, and he still does it now.

In the town, he gathered a group of people to do the project himself, and he did all the decorations in Lisko and Colt's ranch.

People like Os are very common in the United States. They joined the varsity team in school. After graduation, they have no way out and have no skills. They can only wander around and do some other jobs. If they have a good attitude, they can deal with it calmly and find a job to make a living.

I, with a bad mentality, cannot accept the incomparable scenery in the school and the gap that no one cares about after leaving the school. The end is often not very good. Whether it is football or basketball, there are too many such people who can play and make a living.

is only a small part of the pyramid tip.

Lisko had read the report. In the news, this group of people was called straw dogs. Straw dogs were an ancient sacrifice made of straw to the gods. After the sacrifice, the straw dogs would be thrown away.

"Oss, how's the construction period?" Lisko picked up the powder and ground the club. He and Oss bet three beers on this round.

"It's okay. It will be completed next week. It's still very easy for Colt to build a house this time. Most of the original parts are now made of high-tech materials, so we can build it relatively quickly." Ossie took a look.

The ball was shot out in one shot, but it didn't go into the pocket. He punched in frustration.

Lisko smiled, confidently went over to hit the hole in one and threw down the club.

"Three drinks," he said with a smile as he watched Os go to the front desk to buy beer.

Recently, his skills have skyrocketed, and he is slowly winning back the wine he sent out. There are not many people in the tavern who can definitely beat him.

But now there are very few people who are willing to play with him. Even though they know it is a losing game, no one is so upset about it.

Aos came over with a beer and handed it to Lisko, and the two clinked glasses.

"One more game?" Lisko invited again.

"I'm convinced," Oss took a big sip of beer, the foam on his beard, and shook his head at Lisko.

"I didn't expect that the talent you learned when you were in school could still be used here. You can learn everything very quickly. I am no longer your match after only two weeks."

Aos felt a little emotional. Some people are really talented. You have worked hard for a long time, but you are still not as good as others.

"Isn't that true? How can we still talk about life after playing two balls?" Lisko looked at Oskar who was a little disappointed, and he started to joke and joke to ease the awkward atmosphere.

After all, Lisko was seen by others as a weak scholar, but he ended up defeating him, a famous athlete, in competitive sports.

"I heard you're married?" Lisko chatted with him.

"Yes, I just had a son." Ao Si's face was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

Although Liske and he are also classmates, their relationship is not that close. The relationship between them is just acquaintance and greeting each other. We have not talked much since we came back this time, so we don’t know much about his current situation.

.

"My son will go to school well in the future. I think he will definitely be a doctor in the future. He often likes to watch some medical programs." Oss proudly boasted to Lisko.

Of course Lisko would not argue with him. This was a father's expectation for his son. Who could tell what would happen in the future? Maybe his one-year-old son would really become a doctor.

In the United States, doctors and lawyers are upper-class professions that everyone admires and are respected in society. If a family has someone engaged in this profession, it really raises the family's class.

Financiers are not so popular yet, because this profession often carries high risks, while doctors and lawyers do not. They have income from clients. They use their solid knowledge to make money. Financiers are often speculative, and maybe the economy is not.

Due to the turmoil, there are more bankrupt financiers on the streets.

"Yes." Lisko clinked glasses again and came to the bar. Colt was cleaning the beer glass. He had nothing to do today and Sunday. The ranch hadn't started yet, so he was doing business here. Goli would usually take over for him on Saturdays and Sundays.

It's him here.

"Any news about Maggie recently?" Lisko put the wine glass on the table and chatted casually with Colt.

The last news from Maggie was half a month ago. At that time, she went to see the canyon rafting. She excitedly asked them to see the photos she took and sent back a few unique postcards.

"I heard that she went with a group of people to see the ancient ruins of the Indians, and she often forgot to tell us that she was safe." Colt said with some complaints in his tone.

However, Maggie's outing this time really seemed like a wild horse that had escaped the reins. She was still in this state a few days ago, but she had already crossed over to another place the day after tomorrow. It seemed that the enthusiasm that had been suppressed for decades suddenly burst out.

"I'm worried now that she will bring a man back when she comes back." Colt confided to Lisko a little seriously, "I called me a few days ago and told me that I met a French travel painter and it was very romantic."

Although Maggie and Beau have been divorced, they have often lived together in the past few years. Although this situation is very common in the United States, children generally do not interfere in their parents' love life, but people with a personality like Colt's

For children, I still want my parents to be together.

"No, I think Maggie has Bo in her heart," Lisko was very calm. He knew how nervous Maggie looked last time when Bo was sick and had surgery.

"I hope so," Colt had no hope for his mother's current unreliable appearance.
