Lisko’s American Life

756. Jimmy's Call for Help

It was another peaceful morning, after Lisko had breakfast, he stood at the window with a cup of black tea and looked into the distance.

The ranch was very busy in the early morning. In addition to the sound of the cows and the whip of the cowboys, everyone drove the cows. When passing by the castle, the cowboys took off their hats to express their respect for Lisko.

This is already a regular program every morning. It has been a long time since the last virus incident. After David’s unremitting efforts, the ranch has returned to normal and can transport goods to customers.

Calculating the loss this time is really not small. Yesterday David reported the bill. It was originally a profitable ranch. After the last crisis, it was directly in debt of millions of dollars. The most cost was to maintain the farm. Orders, and beef and vegetables purchased at high prices.

Now that there is a loss, there will be a corresponding return. Now in many restaurants and chain supermarkets, the reputation of Li's Ranch is first-class. When the situation is the same, everyone is more willing to cooperate with Li's Ranch. After all The spirit of the other party's contract is very strict.

Compared with liquidated damages, most merchants still need long-term and stable supply channels to maintain their customer range,

The cowboys rode horses and drove the cattle to the foot of the mountain. The original grazing land was in another direction, but since David bought the Leys Ranch, David changed the grazing base after inspection.

At the foot of the mountain behind the Les Ranch, the grass is more lush, and few people come over, and they will not disturb the cattle grazing. The grass juice is fresher than other places.

He finished the cup of black tea in Lisko's hand, and was about to turn around and pour another cup. A cup of black tea in the morning can boost his energy for the whole day and make him feel extremely comfortable all over.

Suddenly, a car drove straight from the gate of the ranch to the direction of the castle. He squinted his eyes and carefully identified whether a friend had come to visit.

If it is a guest of the ranch, then the destination of the other party should be the cowboy dormitory in another direction, and if they come straight to him, it is designated as his friend,

The car was driving extremely slowly. At this speed, some people would believe that he had just got his driver's license, and as the car approached, it was obvious that it was an old pickup truck.

Lisko was extremely puzzled, turned around and went downstairs to see who this mysterious visitor was.

The car stopped slowly in front of the castle, and a young man got out of the car. He was wearing a cowboy hat and dressed in a neat cowboy outfit. When he saw Lisko approaching, he immediately took off his hat, bowed and saluted, Only at this time did Lisko see the other person's appearance clearly. Isn't this Jimmy? "

"gentlemen."

Jimmy's expression was not so comfortable. Anyone who looked at him would immediately realize that this person had something on his mind, but the etiquette was still in place. After greeting Lisko, he straightened up.

"Did you rest today?"

Lisko didn't have much emotion when he saw the person coming. Jimmy is a cowboy from his own ranch, but he obviously came back from the outside, and the cowboys who were working just passed by.

"Yes, I have some things to rest. I asked the boss for leave."

Jimmy answered Lisko's question with a hesitant look on his face.

Of course, Lisko realized that Jimmy had something to ask him, but the other party kept silent, and he didn't intend to ask. He just nodded and prepared to go back to the living room. Seeing his movements, Jimmy gritted his teeth and spoke,

"gentlemen."

"Is there anything else?"

Lisko turned his head and raised his eyebrows. Looking at Jimmy and asking.

"I need your help with something."

Jimmy's face turned pale and then red, and he squeezed his trouser legs in embarrassment, lowered his head, and dared not look into Lisko's eyes.

This sentence surprised him, because cowboys usually find David first if they have something to do, and basically David can help solve it, and will not report it to Lisko.

What Jimmy is doing now obviously offends David's authority, but although the other party is a little stupid at work, he still works very hard, and after working on the ranch for so long, he has gradually mastered his skills and become a A decent cowboy.

It stands to reason that he should know that his actions are not appropriate, but his face still has a stubborn look, which makes Lisko very curious. After thinking for a few seconds, he waved his hand and signaled the other party to come up, and followed him in. explain.

When Jimmy followed Lisko into the living room, he took the black tea he handed over respectfully with both hands. Only half of his butt was next to the seat. He waited for Lisko to finish a sip of tea before continuing to speak.

"Sir, I need your help and I hope you will allow me."

After such a period of psychological struggle, it was obvious that Jimmy had made up his mind, and Lisko raised his hand to signal him to continue talking, and he was listening quietly.

If it's something that can be solved easily, I don't mind helping out. After all, as the boss, Jimmy works very hard and is appreciated by him.

Furthermore, his father, Jimmy's grandfather, Old Dell, is also a good family friend. For the sake of the dead Dell, he will lend a helping hand.

"Sir, I,"

When it really came to a critical moment, Jimmy didn't know how to speak. Although he had made sufficient preparations on the road, facing Lisko's concerned eyes at this time, all his original plans fell through. Know exactly how to start.

"Looks like you're not ready yet."

Lisko continued to take a sip of tea, stood up and patted Jimmy on the shoulder, and then was about to leave, but at this moment, Jimmy thought of the little baby who was still in his car and the way the other party looked at him, and suddenly seemed like Possesses endless power.

"Sir, I have a daughter."

"What?"

Lisko almost spit out the tea he had just swallowed in his mouth, and shifted his gaze to Jimmy, carefully confirming whether the word spoken by the other party was the word baby, or he heard it wrong.

"Yes, that's right. I have a daughter, my own daughter."

As soon as the words were spoken, Jimmy's courage seemed to return to himself, looking at Lisko, and speaking word by word.

"You? Kid? Whose? When?"

Lisko suddenly became interested again, turned around and sat down, leaned forward, looked at Jimmy carefully, and confirmed once again that the other party was not joking.
