Lisko’s American Life

Lisko's daily necessities are almost exhausted, and he plans to go to the town's supermarket to buy some.

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

He was very embarrassed, but he did not give up easily

"Ishe? No"

Listening to the dynamic rap, Lisko couldn't help but stepped on the accelerator. The speed of the car increased, and the fast passing wind blew Lisko's hair.

Lisko held the steering wheel with one hand, and couldn't help sticking his hand out of the window. He remembered watching a movie in his previous life, and said that he could have a special feeling when he put his hand out of the car window to hold it.

With the wind blowing his palm, Lisko felt this special feeling.

"Woohoo~" Lisko let out a strange cry, laughing loudly.

The town wasn't too far away. With Lisko's speeding up, he quickly arrived at 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, the eldest daughter of the rancher Les, who works odd jobs in the supermarket.

Generally speaking, a large rancher like Les is very rich, and as his eldest daughter, he should not have to do odd jobs to earn pocket money.

This is the American way of education. No matter how rich the parents are, the children will still do something else to make money. First, they can use their wages to buy things they like, and they can buy birthday gifts for their family members. Second, Parents deliberately cultivate their children's abilities, get in touch with the society early, and understand the hardships of making money.

There are many ways to make money like this, such as helping others clean the lawn, delivering newspapers and milk, some also working as waiters in cafes and restaurants, and as gas workers at gas stations. University admissions are also very fancy in this aspect of qualifications.

Lisko knew Manda because he had bought many biscuits that she made by herself, and Manda was a very interesting person. Lisko asked her out of curiosity before, what is the purpose of earning money like crazy?

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

"WHY?" Lisko wondered, how could any girl want to be the mayor.

"That way no one in the town will dictate my life," she said.

And she also made a lot of efforts for this, made a handmade campaign card, and asked her brother to help her distribute the campaign flyer, with her campaign slogan printed on it, "Anyway, it's a random election, it's better to vote for Manda. "

The town residents also supported her very much, but due to age restrictions, she could not run for election, she was only fifteen years old.

Not discouraged, she plans to run for election as soon as she becomes an adult. Everyone is very tolerant of children. Everyone calls her the mayor of the town seriously, including the current town elder Dairis, who also regards her as his successor. .

She also seriously made her plan after taking office. The first thing she did was to establish a fire brigade.

There used to be a fire brigade in the small town of Garrison, but it was abolished by the short-sighted residents of the town. fire-fighting.

However, in recent years, the wildfires have been raging, so the residents of the town are a little worried. Garrison is backed by the Rocky Mountains. Although there have been no wildfires, it is a high-risk area. The financial crisis in the town is not enough to build it again. Fire, this matter is put on hold.

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

The supermarket in the town is not too small. Lisko has everything he needs to buy here.

"toilet paper,

drinks,

Toiletries,

And some snacks. "

Lisko purchased one by one according to the list he wrote at home. Like him, he basically didn't need to buy agricultural and sideline food. He had meat and vegetables in his home. Lisko also saw packaged vegetables with his own label on the vegetable counter. .

Carrying a basket to checkout, he arrived soon. Because today is not a well-known discount day, not many people come to the supermarket to buy.

American aunts of Maggie's age are just like Chinese ones. They choose the special discount days in supermarkets when they buy things, and buy items that are about to expire at a very low price~www.readwn.com~ such as milk and bread , as well as vegetables and meat, which also clears the inventory of the merchants, and allows them to buy food at a much lower price than usual. Many families living in poverty live in this way.

Li Scott chose Manda as the toll channel.

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

"Hey, don't mention it, last month I played baseball and broke the glass of my neighbor's car and lost a lot of money." Manda complained, her subordinates are still very quick, and this is also her part-time job. popular reasons.

Lisko smiled, her face full of money fans.

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

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

In the past, when I was in China, I always heard that Americans were poor in mathematics. Lisko never had a good concept. It was not until he lived here that he realized that the mathematics of Americans was not very bad, but very bad.

Even though Manda is now a student, she has already entered junior high school at the age of 12. She still does not understand how much Lisko still needs to recover after subtracting $57 from one hundred dollars. The appearance of the cash register has saved a lot of cashiers. staff, otherwise the supermarket's accounts must suffer heavy losses. The current cash register input the amount of money, and it will automatically show how much needs to be recovered.

Lisko bid farewell to the supermarket and put the purchases in the back of the pickup. This is why Lisko likes to open this on weekdays. Generally, the daily purchases can be placed at will, there is a lot of space, and labor is very expensive in the United States. , If you buy a lot of things and want the supermarket to deliver to your door, then you really need to pay another sum of money.
