Lisco's American Life

Lisko's daily necessities have been almost consumed, and he plans to go to the supermarket in the town to buy some.

Driving a pickup truck on the road, Lisko listened to music and swayed his body.

"Look' if you had one shot' one opportunity

Hey! If you have a chance

To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment

You only have a moment's chance to seize everything you want to have

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Will you hold on tightly, or will you let it slip away?

His palms are sweaty' knees weak' arms are heavy

His arms were heavy, his knees were weak, and his palms were covered with sweat.

There's vomit on his sweater already' mom's spaghetti

Mom's spaghetti has been spat on my sweater.

He's nervous' but on the surface he looks calm and ready

He was nervous but he acted calm

To drop bombs' but he keeps on forgettin

Ready to blow up the crowd but keeps forgetting

What he wrote down' the whole crowd goes so loud

The crowd started to boo the lyrics he had written

He opens his mouth' but the words won'te out

He opened his mouth and couldn't even utter a single word.

He's chokin' how everybody's jokin now

He's "dumb" and everyone is laughing at him

The clock's run out' time's up over' bloah!

It’s time to finish the show! Σ(°△°|||)︴

Snap back to reality' Oh there goes gravity

Being knocked back to reality, my feet felt like lead.

Oh' there goes Rabbit' he choked

Oh! Rabbit is mute

He's so mad but he won't give up that Easy?

He was very embarrassed but he did not give up easily

Is he? No”

Listening to the dynamic rap, Lisko couldn't help but step on the accelerator. The car accelerated, and the wind passing by quickly blew Lisko's hair.

Liske held the steering wheel with one hand and couldn't help but put his hand out of the window. He remembered a movie he watched in his previous life, which said that putting his hand outside the car window and holding it empty could give him a special feeling.

The wind blew on his palms, and Lisko felt this special feeling.

"Woohoo~" Liske screamed strangely and burst into laughter.

The town was not far away. As Lisko drove faster, he quickly reached his destination. He parked the car and entered the supermarket.

"Hey, Li." The cashier at the door greeted Lisko.

This is a girl, her name is Manda, she is the eldest daughter of rancher Les, and she works odd jobs in the supermarket.

Generally speaking, for a large rancher like Les, who is worth a lot of money, as his eldest daughter, there should be no need to do odd jobs to earn pocket money.

This is the education method in the United States. No matter how rich the parents are, the children will still do other things to make money. First, they can use their salary to buy things they like, and they can buy birthday gifts for their family members. Secondly,

Parents deliberately cultivate their children's abilities, get exposed to society early, and understand the hardships of making money.

There are many ways to make money like this, such as cleaning other people's lawns, delivering newspapers and milk, some are also working as waiters in cafes and restaurants, and as oilers at gas stations. College admissions are also very interested in this aspect.

qualifications.

Lisko knew Manda because he had bought cookies made by her many times, and Manda was a very interesting person. Lisko had curiously asked her before, what was the purpose of her crazy money-making?

"It's to use as campaign funds for running for mayor in the future." Manda's face was full of seriousness.

"WHY?" Lisko was puzzled. How could any girl want to be the mayor?

"This way no one in the town will have any say in my life," she said.

And she also put a lot of effort into this. She made her own handmade campaign cards, and asked her brother to help her distribute campaign leaflets when she had nothing to do. Her campaign slogan was printed on them, "It's a random choice anyway, so why not vote for Manda."

"

The residents of the town also support her, but due to age restrictions, she cannot participate in the election. She is only fifteen years old.

Undeterred, she planned to run for office as soon as she became an adult. Everyone was very tolerant of children. Everyone seriously called her town mayor, including the current town elder, Dairis, who also regarded her as his successor.

.

She also carefully made plans after taking office. The first thing she did was to establish a fire brigade.

There used to be a fire brigade in the town of Garrison, but there was nothing to do all year round, so the short-sighted residents of the town voted to cancel it. The government had no choice but to move the fire brigade to Big Schenck, so Garrison now has no fire brigade.

Firefighting.

However, wildfires have been raging in recent years, so the residents of the town are a little worried. Garrison is backed by the Rocky Mountains. Although there have been no wildfires so far, it is a high-risk area. The town's finances are in crisis and it is not enough to build another one.

Firefighting, this matter has been shelved.

"Hey, Mayor Manda." Lisko waved, took the basket and went to pick out the items.

The supermarket in the town is not too small, and everything Lisko needs to buy here is quite complete.

"toilet paper,

drinks,

Toiletries,

There are also some snacks.”

Lisko bought them one by one according to the list he wrote at home. People like him basically don’t need to buy agricultural and sideline foods. He has meat and vegetables at home. Lisko also saw packaged vegetables with his own label on the vegetable counter.

.

Carrying the basket to check out, he arrived quickly. Because today is not a well-known discount day, there are not many people coming to the supermarket to purchase.

American aunts of Maggie's age are the same as those in China. When they buy things, they will choose the special discount days in supermarkets, and buy items that are about to expire, such as milk, bread, vegetables and meat, at a very low price.

Category, this also clears up the inventory of merchants, and also allows them to buy food at much lower prices than usual. This is how many families in poverty live.

Lisko specifically chose Manda as a toll channel.

"Hey, Manda, haven't you raised enough campaign funds yet?" Lisko took out his wallet.

"Hey, don't mention it. I was playing baseball last month and broke the window of my neighbor's car, which cost me a lot of money." Manda complained, her hands were still very nimble. This was her odd job.

Reasons for popularity.

Lisko smiled, her little face full of money-obsessed expression.

"Okay, Li, the total is fifty-seven dollars." Manda scanned the code and looked at the number displayed on the cash register.

Lisko took out a one hundred Franklin note and handed it to her, and she entered the amount of money into the cash register.

When I was in China, I always heard that Americans were very poor at mathematics. Lisko never had a good idea. It wasn't until he lived here that he discovered that Americans are not very bad at mathematics, but very poor.

Even though Manda is now a student and has already entered junior high school at the age of twelve, she still can’t figure out how much money she still needs to get back Lisko after deducting fifty-seven dollars from one hundred dollars. The emergence of cash registers has saved many cashiers.

personnel, otherwise the supermarket's accounts would have suffered heavy losses. If you enter the amount of money collected in the current cash register, it will automatically display how much money needs to be recovered.

Lisko said goodbye to the supermarket and put the purchased items into the back of the pickup truck. This is why Lisko likes to drive this one on weekdays. Generally, the things you buy every day can be placed freely, and there is a lot of space. Labor is very expensive in the United States.

, if you buy a lot of things and want the supermarket to deliver them to your door, then you really need to spend another amount of money.
