Lisco's American Life

After the cows ate grass on the pasture for several hours and took a walk, the large group rushed back to the cowshed, and the morning's work was completed.

"Sir, the fence of our pasture is a bit old. I saw a hole when I was inspecting the day before yesterday." Lisko was unloading the horse harness, and David followed in.

"It's been a long time. I remember that the fence was built by my father when I was in college. It's time to replace it." Lisko's eyes were filled with memories.

"By the way, the cowboy will solve the problem as soon as possible today. I will wait for the interview here, and then you can arrange for the cowboy to replace the fence and save animals from running in." Lisko arranged his work.

"By the way, I'll buy some horses. As our manpower increases, the horses will also increase. If we can't buy well-trained horses this time, we'll buy a few and train them ourselves."

The last time the ranch bought horses, they were all trained by the trainers themselves. These horses are docile but have no characteristics. For cowboys, horses are still very important. Lisko observed that these well-trained horses are not very

Popular with old cowboys.

Horses you train by yourself have a high degree of tacit understanding when riding, and the horse will know your intentions every time you make a move.

David received the assignment and quickly went down to make arrangements.

Lisko made himself a cup of coffee in the kitchen and prepared the cowboy who would come over in the living room.

It's easy to find good cowboys in this small town, because when they have nothing to do, they will gather at the only tavern, Colt's.

Moreover, many dairy farms have not been very profitable recently, and most of them are laying off employees, so people are still easy to find.

Lisko planned to recruit two people to relieve David of that part of the work.

The character of the cowboys found in the small town is also guaranteed, and everyone knows the basics. The circle of cowboys is very small, and you will know who works hard and is more reliable.

As soon as I sat down, I saw Uncle Dale, the town's veterinarian, coming over.

"Hey, Dale, are there any sick cows in the pasture?" Lisko was a little confused. Whose cow Dale went to means that his cow was sick. An adult cow can be sold for 1,100 US dollars. For a small ranch, but

A big loss.

"No, Li, I came here for other reasons." Dell looked lonely.

"Bo is gone, and I feel like I don't have much time left." Uncle Dale sat opposite Lisko and said somewhat dejectedly.

"I never cared about it before, but as soon as old Fudge and Bo left, I felt uncomfortable. You can't understand the feeling of a friend who is about the same age and very familiar with each other passing away."

"My grandson Jimmy, you know, right?" Dale felt sad for a while and finally stated his purpose.

The Jimmy Lisko he was talking about knew that he was Dale's only relative. Because his parents died when he was young, he has been living with his grandfather. He is only about twenty years old this year.

However, he did not have a good reputation in the small town because he was expelled early for drinking and fighting at school. After that, he became more serious and stole things for a living with a group of gangsters.

After being caught by the sheriff, he was sent to jail for half a year. After he was released from prison, he could not find a job because of his experience. Lisko often saw him squatting on the street corners of the town, smoking cigarettes with nothing to do.

"Li, I want Jimmy to work for you. Although he has had stains, I know that he has a good heart. It's just that I can't educate him well." Dell has always been cheerful, but now because of his grandson, he is full of joy.

His face was full of self-blame.

Lisko thought for a moment. He didn't know whether it was a good thing to accept a prisoner into the ranch.

"How do you know I'm recruiting people here?" Lisko took a sip of coffee and decided to recruit people only in the morning. David probably hasn't left the ranch yet. Is Old Dale so well-informed?

"The rooster told me. I just came out from him. He gave vitamins to all his cows. He is much more generous than Bo."

Dale was joking.

When Bo was here, of course he was reluctant to take those expensive antibiotics. He believed that if the older generation didn't take any antibiotics, the cattle would still be healthy and healthy.

Rooster's thinking was different again. He knew that in order to save this money, he would suffer huge losses if something went wrong in the future.

He thought about it carefully and realized that Rooster had always lived in the town. If this person was really hopeless, he would not recommend him here. Lisko still recognized Rooster's vision of people.

"I really have no other choice. I'm afraid what if I suddenly leave like Bo one day, what will he do?"

Dell's face is still useful here in Lisko. After all, he has a good relationship with his father and is someone who watched him grow up.

"Let him come here and let me see him." Lisko felt that it was not a good idea to recruit anyone. Although he was a novice, he could just be left to the experienced cowboys, so he relented.

"Okay, thank you, Li, I'll bring him over right away." Dell grabbed his cowboy hat in surprise and stood up.

When he went out, Lisko stood up and looked at his curved back.

"Lee," Dale suddenly turned around, his face already covered with tears.

"Thank you for giving him a chance." Dale put his cowboy hat on his chest and bowed to him.

Lisko felt very uncomfortable looking at this uncle who had a close relationship with his father.

Jimmy was soon brought over. He was wearing his hat upside down, with yellow hair, and clothes that seemed to have not been changed in many days. His face was sleepy, as if he had just woken up from a hangover, and he was very thin.

.

"Dell, would you like to visit my bullpen and give us some suggestions for our current facilities?" Lisko arranged for Dell to go out.

Dale also knew what Lisko meant and did not question it. He actually went to the cowshed to see the cows. For an old veterinarian, cows were his relatives and he was extremely cautious about cow matters.

After Dale left, Lisko closed the door.

Jimmy stood across the table, looking down at his toes.

"Sit down." Lisko motioned for him to sit down opposite.

After he was done, he started to speak.

"Dale Sr. is like my uncle. He has a relationship with my father, so I respect him very much."

Lisko added some cold coffee to his coffee cup.

"Why did you go in?"

"Stealing things." Jimmy replied nonchalantly. He had seen this scene many times. Every time he asked himself the reason, he would tell himself that he was sorry and could not be hired.

"Can I trust you?" Lisko took a sip of coffee. Of course he knew the reason why Jimmy went in. He just asked to see if this person was sincere or not.

"I don't know." Jimmy still had a very nonchalant attitude.

"You know, your grandfather just bowed to me and begged me to accept you." Lisko looked into Jimmy's eyes.

He was disdainful at first, then his eyes turned a little red, and finally he couldn't hold back the tears, covering his face with his hands and sobbing.

"He is old, and you are the only relative he has, a figure like my uncle. I bow to me for you. I don't know what you think, and I don't ask you what to do. I only give you one chance. If you

If you can't catch it, then I can only be sorry." Lisko felt that he still had some hope. If he was still indifferent when he heard that his grandfather went to beg someone to give him a job and humbly knelt down, then Lisko would definitely reject him and himself

Not the Holy Mother.
