Lisko’s American Life

Lisko stayed in the small town hotel, and he has a lot to do next. Some time ago, Locke and his boyfriend both resigned, because the two agreed to go to Massachusetts to get married, because the state capital passed the revision of the state last year. It became the first state in the United States to allow same-sex marriage.

The rooster can't do anything either, he can't stop others from pursuing happiness.

After the Bo accident, the rooster must be ready to take over his ranch according to his will. Colt has his own ranch and a tavern. Lisko's own ranch still doesn't know who to take over.

And the number of cowboys is not enough, at least two more people, but cowboys are a good idea, because the welfare of Li's ranch is notoriously good, many people want to come in and work.

Lisko took out his black suit from the clothes at the bottom of the press box. He touched it with a sigh on his face.

Since his father died, he bought this dress, thinking that he might not be able to use it for a long time, but he didn't expect to use it again in just two years.

A white shirt, a black suit, and black leather shoes, Lisko also wore a black hat.

The overall shape is full of seriousness and mourning, with a small white yellow flower pinned to the chest. In the United States, yellow and white are the colors of mourning.

Colt was arranged to go to the newspaper to register the obituary of the blog. In the United States, the obituary in the newspaper is a profit method for many newspapers. When many people who subscribe to the newspaper get the newspaper, the first thing they see is not the front page headlines. , but the obituary column, because there may be people you know, and you have to decide whether to go to the memorial service.

Obituaries generally have their own formats. Obituary editors in newspapers are also a good career. This kind of content is usually about the life and achievements of the protagonist, his contributions to society and his children.

Bo lived on his father's ranch in his early years. After graduating from school, he joined the army and fought in the Vietnam War. After retiring, he took over his own ranch. He has two sons, Bo and Colt, and a daughter in his early years. However, when he was just one year old, he died of illness because of illness. This was a taboo in their family, and almost no one mentioned it.

Funerals in the United States are generally divided into three steps. The first is to pay tribute. On the day before the burial, everyone pays respects to the remains of the deceased, expressing condolences and thoughts, while visitors comfort relatives to cheer up.

The second step is to hold a memorial service at the time of the burial, and the priest will give the eulogy, usually in a church, and relatives and friends will come to the stage to share the memories of the deceased, and the children’s choir will sing hymns. Of course, this is the form of Christians. I don't believe in religion, so I skipped this part of singing.

In the end, Bo'an should be buried in their family's cemetery, where the ancestors of their family are buried in the east, west, and west, and the north is the burial place for suicide and sinful people in the Bible, so it is vacant.

The whole funeral was solemn and quiet, there was no crying, everyone mourned and missed silently, and there was no banquet.

The surrounding of the cemetery is full of water pine trees, each with luxuriant branches, standing upright around the tombstone.

The whole funeral cost a lot of money, but Bo bought all the insurance before he died, including life insurance. They reimbursed all the funeral expenses. In the United States, they will buy this insurance after the age of 60. It is very popular. Because people want to leave wealth to their descendants instead of debts.

Lisko worked hard for three days, filling Bo's cemetery with soil and covering it with turf, and it was finally over.

"Cock, Colt, let's sit down together."

Lisko called out to the two who were about to leave after the ceremony was over.

I drove to the place where Lisko lives now, the only house with a parlour in the hotel in the town.

Because there are pastures near Garrison, this kind of hotel is still a bit of a business. In the United States, most of them like to take time for self-driving trips every year. There will really be wolves sleeping in the wild and camping here, and all the roadside hotels are also It has never been eliminated.

Lisko took out the glass and poured some whiskey for the three of them. Because the next thing to talk about is a strategy that will be implemented for a long time in the future, it is better to drink some wine to ease the atmosphere.

"Rooster, are you going to take over Bo's ranch?"

Lisko passed wine glasses to both of them.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The rooster's expression contained self-reproach. He thought he could work in Lisko's ranch for a long time, but unexpectedly, his family's ranch could not be abandoned. This was his ancestral property.

"It's okay," Lisko waved his hand and didn't care, because he knew that this matter could not be complained about.

"So I'm going to find another big housekeeper?" Lisko had a headache. The ranch manager is not so easy to find. You need to find someone you trust and whose character is guaranteed.

"Li." The rooster drank the wine in his own glass in one gulp and went with the flow.

"I always feel that you are incompatible with Garrison. You are a rancher, and you should try to come by yourself."

"Huh?" Lisko didn't expect the rooster to suggest that to him.

"You can try to let David manage, and then manage the finances, and try to make yourself aware of the flow and the situation of the ranch. You didn't care much before, so it's not good." Looking at Lisko, he was worried that Lisko would be angry because of this, after all, there was a sense of duty in his tone.

"Yes," Colt interjected, "you are the descendant of cowboys, but you don't seem to like ranches."

Lisko frowned. Before, he was thinking of professional things to do professionally, but he didn't expect to lose his duty. It may be that his own thinking has not changed.

"Okay, yes. I will take over the ranch next, and David will manage the ranch." Lisko felt that their advice was very pertinent. As a rancher, he couldn't be indifferent.

And he is still eager to try. Isn't life exciting only if you are good at trying different things?

"Rooster, you're going to apply for a job as an agent of the Animal Husbandry Association." Lisko figured out a few things.

In the United States, the Livestock Industry Association is an organization dedicated to the service of ranchers, and they investigate all abnormal deaths of cattle and sheep.

The battle between ranchers is not so obvious. If anyone wants to do something bad, the loss may be all the cattle in the ranch, and a loss of millions of dollars. Therefore, the state has set up an animal husbandry association, which is usually organized by Cowboys at the various ranches are in charge.

They will investigate the abnormal deaths of cattle and sheep, find the murderer, and have the right to hand them over to the police department.

It is also the most powerful department in the state.
