Lisco's American Life

"Who said that, you are too fat in the painting, how can I be so exaggerated?" Lu Bo retorted aggrievedly, and kept saying, "I have lost a little weight,,,,, it's you who are too exaggerated."

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time," and so on. With laughter and the sound of the engine, they started to drive towards the pasture.

Along the way, Yashin was full of praise for the scenery along the way, "The air here is very fresh, very quiet, and there are very few cars. The road conditions in New York are terrible. I am often late for work."

"Then you can consider staying a few more days." Lisko joked and extended the invitation.

"Forget it." Yasin shook his head, "How can I be like you? If I don't work for one day, the bank will take away my house and car."

His tone of ridicule was filled with the hardships of life. Their newspaper office has not been doing well recently. If he had not played a role in wooing Lisko, a leading young writer in the new era, he would have been fired like those young people.

.

This is also the first time Lu Bo has come here since Lisko came back to live. His most common job on weekdays is to travel around the world to discuss copyright cooperation. Of course, he cannot avoid being entertained by clients, so his figure is like a balloon.

"Seriously, Lu Bo, you really need to lose weight. I'm really worried that you have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Then your life will be miserable." Lisko looked at Lu Bo in the rearview mirror.

, said worriedly.

"I didn't want to either. I had been eating a weight-loss meal for half a month before I came here. I couldn't stand the salad every day, so I came here to see you." Lu Bo's voice also sounded aggrieved.

"I'll give you an idea. Work as a cowboy on my ranch for half a year and feed you meat every day. It will definitely make you lose weight. Even if it doesn't work, it can also help you gain muscle." Lisko joked.

"No, no, I can't even breathe even climbing stairs. I will be exhausted after half a year on your ranch." Lubo refused quickly. Although he wanted to lose weight, he was not willing to exercise so much every day because of his pampered status.

"You deserve to be fat." Lisko said with annoyance as the car drove into the pasture.

"We're here," Lisko stopped at the door of the villa and asked them to get out of the car.

"Wow, this lake is like a gem. Your life here is really quiet. No wonder you don't want to live in New York."

Lubo was mesmerized by the scenery as soon as he got out of the car. There were endless green pastures that had grown up, and cattle were grazing leisurely on them. The lake in the middle of the pasture was blue and shining with the sun, and there was a patch of lavender growing there.

The sea and purple flowers are swaying in the wind, like a world in a fairy tale.

"Are there any ranches like yours nearby? Please keep an eye out for me. I want to buy one and come over for vacation when I have time. Looking at the scenery, I feel like my soul has been cleansed." Lu Bo turned around and spoke to Lisko seriously.

"We'll watch it later. I'll contact you if I have any questions." Lisko held his arms in his arms and stood waiting for the two of them to finish watching.

Yashin had no time to talk anymore, so he took out his camera from his bag and kept taking pictures. This kind of beautiful scenery should be remembered as a souvenir. It will be a good memory to look through it from time to time in the future, and it can also be shown to his family at home.

"Li, can I bring my wife and children to your place for vacation?" Yasin turned around and asked. He can't be as rich as Lu Bo. He can buy a ranch at will, but he still has money for vacation, no matter what.

Editors of the top literary newspapers have pretty good salaries.

"Of course, you are welcome at any time. We are going to launch a tourism project here recently, and the nearby ranches are making preparations." Lisko advertised to the town.

The two entered the house reluctantly, but they were not in a hurry. They wouldn't leave for a while, and they could watch it slowly later.

Lisko put away his luggage and made coffee to treat them.

She took the pumpkin cake sent by Willow. Since Lisko gave her the dessert cakes he made from time to time, she always brought the pumpkin cake made by Catherine every time she came to the house, so Lisko accepted it. This was a good idea.

The snacks can be used to entertain guests. The soft and glutinous taste is accompanied by coffee, which is very popular. Brother Haas took a lot when he left.

Lubo was holding coffee in one hand and pumpkin pie in the other, stuffing it into his mouth. Lisko knew why he was so fat.

"This is delicious, Li, did you make it?" Lu Bo said vaguely with the cake in his mouth.

"My ranch cowboy made it."

The three of them sat on the sofa for a while. Yasin was more interested in the decorations on Lisko's wall. He looked at the paintings on them and nodded while listening to Lisko's introduction.

Lisko recently took a painting by himself, and he watched Yashin keep staring at it.

"I drew this. The Chinese characters on it mean rebirth."

This painting is a simple drawing, using a brush to simply outline the valley. The valley has obvious ups and downs, and at the lowest end there is a monk in red cassock with his hands clasped together.

"The meaning here is that you have to first fall to the bottom of a valley you have never experienced before, before you can see the peak that you have never reached. When water reaches despair, it is the scenery, and when people reach despair, they are reborn."

Yashin admired the artistic conception of this painting and took a picture of it with his camera.

"Okay, I will give this painting to you when the time comes." Lisko was also very happy that someone liked his scribblings, and he was not stingy at all.

After chatting for a while, Yashin finally revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Li, due to the recent development of the Internet, the sales of our newspaper have declined seriously, so the editorial department hopes to ask you to come forward and publish some short stories in our newspaper." Yasin had a look of embarrassment on his face. He knew that he was speaking to Li Sko.

He wouldn't refuse, and he didn't want to put his life in trouble, but he had been working in newspapers and magazines since he graduated from college. He regarded the newspaper as his own hard work and really didn't want to see it decline.

Lisko thought for a while. Ever since he knew that the person coming was Yashin, he knew that he could not refuse politely. He also had his own considerations. Literary newspapers still have a high status in the American literary world, which would be beneficial to his future development.

.

The principle of literary contempt applies everywhere. Lisko has been out for so long, and his bad remarks have been circulated. This is what every writer will experience. Some people suspect that his book was ghostwritten by his mentor, but because Lisko’s senior brother

There were so many of them, they were scattered before he could even take his turn to fight, so he never responded.

However, the Literary Journal has always been on his side and has been the first to bear the brunt of every debate. Lisko cannot shirk this favor.

Moreover, after providing timely help, Lisko also gained a prestigious media promotion channel.

Lisko made up his mind and spoke.

"No problem, Literary Newspaper is my old employer, and I should help at this time."
