Lisko’s American Life

That night, the 752 Ranch held a grand welcome party. Almost all the cowboys from the surrounding ranches attended the party, and even the person in charge of the 752 Ranch that Jimmy had always wanted to meet rushed back. At the party, he patted Jimmy on the shoulder affectionately to encourage him, and then left in a hurry, not knowing what he was busy with.

It was also at this party that Jimmy truly experienced the traditional Texas style. Not only did the young girl with wheat-colored skin show her charm unrestrainedly under the care of the bonfire, even the barbecue to eat And the beer seems to be a few sizes larger than other state capitals.

The whole party was full of laughter and laughter. Almost everyone rushed over to have a drink with Jimmy, expressing their warm welcome to Texas.

Originally, Jimmy came to a relatively unfamiliar environment, and all his emotions were still in a relatively rigid and confused state, but after drinking one glass of wine after another, he also let go of the restrictions on himself, and joined the carnival crowd with blurred eyes in the group.

And through this welcome party, Jimmy was fully integrated into the place. On the second day, he could call out the name and specific age of almost all the staff working on the ranch, and even had a corresponding understanding of the family background of the other party. According to my understanding, it is said that alcohol is the best way to shorten the distance between human beings. It seems that there is a lot of truth in the spread of this saying.

After that, Jimmy started a series of cowboy skills training and learning work at the 752 ranch. He left early and returned late every day. Before dawn, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room in confusion with the shouts of others. After a busy day, he slammed himself onto the bed with his tired body. Before he even had time to change his clothes, he couldn't resist the attack of exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

Although this kind of life is a bit boring, it is extremely fulfilling, because a large part of the time is spent on the ranch. If there are any necessary daily necessities, there will be a special person to go out to purchase. Jimmy has even lived here. Forget about the division of time.

Compared with the original Lee's Ranch, which was very loose, the 752 Ranch is really like a hell for Jimmy. Not only can he not keep up with the frequency of those veteran cowboys in physical strength, but even the comparison of skills is very different. of.

Jimmy didn't even dare to call himself a cowboy, because looking at the abilities of other cowboys, he seemed like a primary school student who hadn't stepped into the threshold.

Horse training, cattle training, lasso riding, saddled bronco riding, bull riding, barrel racing, etc., all of these are items that Jimmy needs to train. The process must be well understood, and there are too many things to learn.

Surrounded by such a busy and fulfilling life every day, Jimmy sometimes feels exhausted in his heart. Every time the thought of giving up arises in his heart, the cute little face of his daughter will appear in his mind , From time to time, he took out the photos stored on the back of the wallet, which gave him the courage to continue.

The happiest time every night is to contact Jasmine by phone, listening to his daughter humming and words that don’t understand the specific meaning, Jimmy’s heart is very satisfied, as if the physical exhaustion and pain can no longer defeat him up.

Although he used to be relatively stupid in learning, this point is highly recognized by everyone who has come into contact with Jimmy. This person seems to be like a rusty screw. It is always more difficult to use and learn than others, but he has a certain Jimmy is willing to bear hardships and stand hard work and tenacity, if others teach him once, if he fails to master or meet the predetermined training standards, Jimmy will practice repeatedly in private or during other people's rest time.

Relying on this attitude and character standards, Jimmy slowly kept up with the progress of everyone's training, and it also made all the other cowboys on the ranch look at him with admiration.

After living in Texas for a month, Jimmy spends day and night with these bold cowboys, and he can't help but carry some of the temper and character of these people. Anyone who knows him will find that the person in front of him There has been a huge change from before.

In the past, Jimmy always bowed slightly unconsciously because of excessive low self-esteem, as if he had lost his energy, and anyone who talked to him was full of submissiveness, but now he has lived on the ranch for a month, so he can't help it. He straightened his waist habitually, and his eyes, which were always looking at the ground, began to look down or look directly at him.

And the fair skin that was exposed outside gradually turned into a healthy wheat color as the sun shines, and the thin body has also undergone a big change from before. Compared with before, the arms and thighs swelled a whole lock up.

After this period of training, he has been able to follow all the cowboys to take care of all the things in the 752 ranch. Sometimes he can immediately understand what the leading cowboy wants to express with a slight signal, and he will take care of himself. The work inside is handled well.

In the past, Jimmy was not very good at lassoing. He tried to train many times when he was in Lee's Ranch, but every time he let the flexible calf escape from his own rope.

Now Jimmy doesn't even need to aim specifically, picks up the rope he carries with him, swings the inertia flexibly in the air, flicks his wrist according to the target, and can accurately tie the calf firmly.

This change makes Jimmy very happy to see himself growing and improving. For him, the biggest gain from participating in this training is to change the original perspective of seeing the world. If he encounters any problems before, the first One thought was how to escape, but now the thought is to go head-on and use my own ability to solve this problem.

Now Jimmy is no different from those old ranch cowboys, because they all have the same temperament and that kind of tough appearance, which also makes Jimmy gradually become the kind of tough guy he always dreamed of becoming.

I believe that when he really returns from his studies, returning to Li's Ranch will give everyone who knows him a big surprise. This place is like a huge forging furnace, slowly giving away the impurity-like things on his body. After being washed and refined, it becomes an indestructible piece of steel.
