Lisko’s American Life

"Who said that, you are too fat, how can I be so exaggerated." Lu Bo retorted aggrievedly, and kept saying, "I have lost a little weight,,,,, you are too exaggerated. Now,,,,, I haven't eaten meat for a long time,,,,," and so on, with laughter and the sound of the engine, and began to drive to the pasture.

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

"Then you can consider staying for a few more days." Lisko joked and invited.

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

The tone of ridicule carries the hardships of life. Recently, their newspaper office is not doing well. If it wasn't for his credit for attracting Lisko, a leading young writer in the new era, he would be like those young people and be fired. .

It is also the first time for Lu Bo to come here since Lisko came back to live. His most usual job is to run around the world talking about copyright cooperation. Of course, he is unavoidable to be entertained by customers, so he looks like a balloon.

"Seriously, Lubo, you really want to lose weight. I'm really worried that you have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Then your life will be miserable." Lisko glanced at Lubo in the rearview mirror. , said worriedly.

"I don't want it either. Before I came here, I ate a diet meal for half a month. I couldn't stand the salad every day, so I came to see you." Lu Bo's voice was also aggrieved.

"I'll give you an idea. I'll be a cowboy on my ranch for half a year, and I'll give you meat every day. It will definitely make you lose weight. No matter how bad it is, it will give you muscle growth." Lisko joked.

"No, no, I can't breathe even climbing the stairs. I'll be exhausted in your ranch for half a year." Lu Bo quickly refused. Although he wanted to lose weight, he didn't want to exercise so much every day when he was pampered.

"You deserve to be fat." Lisko said, hating that iron is not steel, the car had already driven into the pasture.

"Here," Lisko stopped at the door of the villa and greeted them to get off.

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

As soon as Lu Bo got off the car, he was fascinated by the scenery. The endless green pastures had grown as far as the eye could see. The cattle were grazing leisurely on it. Sea, purple flowers swaying in the wind, like a fairy tale world.

"Is there a ranch like yours nearby? Help me pay attention. I'll buy one too. I'll come here for a vacation when I have time. Looking at the scenery, I feel like my soul has been washed." Lubo turned his head and said to Lisko seriously.

"Let's see later, I'll contact you if there is any." Lisko held his arms and stood there waiting for the two to finish watching.

Yashin had no time to talk anymore. He took out his camera from his suitcase and kept taking pictures. This beautiful scene should be kept as a memory. Looking through it from time to time in the future is a good memory. You can also show it to your family at home.

"Li, can I bring my wife and children to you for vacation?" Yashin turned around and asked, he can't be as rich as Lubo, he can buy a ranch at will, but there is still money for vacation, no matter how you say it. The editors of the top literary newspapers have 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 preparing." Lisko advertised the town.

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

Lisko packed his bags and made coffee.

I took the pumpkin pie sent by Willow. Since Lisko brought her dessert cakes he made from time to time, every time she came to the door, she brought the pumpkin pie made by Catherine, and Lisko accepted it. This is a good idea. It's okay to use it to entertain guests. The soft and glutinous taste is accompanied by coffee, which is very popular. Brother Haas took a lot of it when he left.

Lubo held the coffee in one hand and the pumpkin pie in the other and stuffed 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.

"It was made by my ranch cowboy."

The three sat on the sofa for a while, while Yashin was more interested in the decoration on Lisko's wall. He looked at the painting on it, listened to Lisko's introduction to him, and kept nodding his head.

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

"I drew this one, and the Chinese characters on it mean rebirth."

This painting is a simple drawing. The valley is simply outlined with a brush. The valley has obvious ups and downs. At the bottom end is a monk in red cassock with his hands folded.

"The meaning here is that you must first fall to the bottom of the valley that you have never experienced before. Only then can you see the peak that has never been reached. The water to the extreme is the scenery, and the person to the extreme is the rebirth."

Yashin was amazed at the artistic conception of the painting, and even took a photo of the painting with a camera.

"Okay, I'll give you this painting at that time." Lisko was also very happy that some people liked his sketches, and he was not stingy at all.

After chatting for a while, Yashin opened his mouth to reveal the purpose of the trip.

"Li, because of the recent development of the Internet, the sales of our newspaper have declined seriously, so the editorial department hopes to invite you to come forward and publish some short stories in our newspaper." He won't refuse, and he doesn't want to be embarrassed by his new year friendship, but he has been working in the newspaper since graduating from college, and regards the newspaper as his own effort, and really doesn't want to see it decline.

Lisko pondered for a while. Since he knew that the person who came was Yashin, he knew that he could not refuse. He also had his own considerations. Literary newspapers still have a very high status in the American literary world, which is beneficial to his future development. .

The principle of literati disparity applies everywhere. Lisko has been around for so long since his debut, and his bad remarks have been circulated all the time. This is something every writer will experience. Some people suspected that his book was written by his mentor, but because Lisko had so many senior brothers, he was disbanded before he could go into battle, so he never responded.

However, the literary newspaper has always been on his side, and bears the brunt of every debate. Lisko can't shirk this favor.

Moreover, Lisko also gained a prestigious media publicity channel after giving help in the snow.

Lisko, who had made up his mind, spoke up.

"No problem. Literary Newspaper is my old club. I should help at this time."
