MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 60 Old Forge Ranch

Lisko hung up the phone and shrugged helplessly.

Packed the pudding and sent it home to Little Willow.

Early the next morning, Colt set off with a sleepy-eyed Lisko and the rooster, and they were going to Fudge's ranch for a field trip today.

Fudge's ranch is not very big. It is backed by the woods, just behind the Bo's house. The three of them used to play here when they were young.

At the door, Colt hesitantly knocked on the door again and again.

Soon, an old man with a white beard opened the door with a shotgun in his hand.

The three of them immediately raised their hands in fright.

Fudge looked at the three of them, keeping the shotgun in his hand.

"Bo's brat and Tum's son, what are you doing here? Did Bo's immortal conscience send you over to apologize?"

"No, no, you put down the gun first, we want to buy your ranch." Colt swallowed, and summoned up his courage, he reached out and moved the muzzle of the shotgun down.

Fudge narrowed his eyes, put away the shotgun and walked in.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Lisko felt that his back was soaked.

"Colt, FUCK" the **** went up and punched him,

Colt knew that he was wrong. In fact, the rancher should have been informed a few days in advance in such a situation. Random visits would really cause unnecessary misunderstandings, not to mention that the object was a stubborn old man who was in conflict with Bo.

The three entered the house. The decoration here was very simple, and it could be seen that the owner was very poor.

The yard is still surrounded by a stone wall. The whole house is made of wood. In the center of the yard is an iron barrel, and a bonfire made of wood is burning inside.

The three followed Fudge's footsteps and came to the campfire together. He stared at the three without speaking.

"Fudge, why do you want to sell the ranch?" Colt asked him first.

Fudge smiled, took out the jug from his pocket, twisted it open and took a sip.

"I have cancer. It's terminal. I need money for the rest of my life."

"Cancer? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Colt didn't expect the answer either. He thought it was Fudge's out-of-home daughter who came back to pick him up for fun, and the people in the town said the same thing.

"It doesn't matter," Fudge waved his hand indifferently. He is now in his sixties, and he can't work anymore. He bought the ranch in his early years. Unfortunately, he is lonely and his only daughter is because of his mother's death. He also has a bad relationship with him and is unwilling to inherit his dilapidated small pasture.

"The price of my ranch has already been asked. It is the Reese Company in Denver. If you buy it, decide as soon as possible. At the same price, I will sell it to you first. You are the real descendants of cowboys," Fudge also reminded kindly. Three of them.

"Reese?" The rooster is a little surprised, because Dan Fries is an agricultural company, they like to acquire pastures and take care of them through industrialization. Under this model, they slowly acquire a lot of large pastures, and their assembly line operations will be huge. Depresses the price of by-products from smallholder farmers, so it is not very popular with traditional ranchers.

However, the Reese Company usually buys those contiguous large pastures. For the convenience of management, the roosters have no idea why they bought Fudge's small pastures this time.

Fudge led the three of them around the pasture. The pasture was very depressed. There was not a single cow left. The only thing left was a scrawny old horse. This was Fudge's partner. of.

The pasture is overgrown with weeds, and the pasture has already withered. If the pasture is purchased and replanted, the groundwater resources are still very rich because it is under the same water branch as the Liske family pasture.

The area is more than 50 acres, one acre is more than six acres in China, and it is as big as four or five football fields. It is only suitable for raising cattle and sheep in small batches, planting some vegetables, and going out to the ranchers. The annual profit is about About 20,000 US dollars, but the area is small and there is not so much expenditure. The cattle and sheep ranchers who raise them will just do their own grazing.

However, the small house in the ranch is very dilapidated. If you buy it, you will need to spend money to renovate it.

In general, Lisko thinks that Colt is a good fit. The football coach has a leisurely job. Every day after get off work, he spends his time drinking everywhere to take care of the ranch. In the future, he and Gorley will also have a place to marry and live, and both of them have jobs. , take care of the pasture in her spare time, and can save tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is very suitable.

After Lisko told the backward rooster, he was not as opposed to it as before. Although the concept of family affection in the United States is relatively weak after adulthood, it is also good for the brothers to live next to each other, and the three meet head-to-head Negotiating, in the tone, I feel that it is not a loss to win.

Farewell to the eccentric old man Fudge, the three discussed on the way back to the ranch. Lisko told Colt what he thought, and his eyes were also full of yearning.

"Of course, that's what I thought when I bought this ranch, when my kids and I can go to school in town, what a wonderful life." Colt didn't blush at all, he was thinking about it However, Bo's attitude towards him is that he wants to buy it and compare it to Bobby.

The purchase of the ranch was settled. Fudge offered them two hundred thousand dollars. To be honest, this price is not high, but it is also reasonable. Even if the relationship between Old Fudge and Bo is not good, he has watched the three of them grow up. Let Colt, who likes to live on the ranch, take care of it~www.novelbuddy.com~ After the three broke up, they each went home. Colt went to the bank to inquire about the reason for the loan. Based on his qualifications, it should be easy to handle. He now has Good work, and it's still easy to get past a loan to buy a ranch.

When the rooster came home, he happened to be basking in the sun on the sofa in the yard by the door.

Since Bo's body underwent an operation, the roosters usually go home to live and take care of their own pastures. Bo's pasture is a little bigger than that of Old Fogie, so Bo takes care of it alone on weekdays. Only Lisko's ancestors were very obsessed with land, and they purchased land frantically to increase the area of ​​the pasture.

"Bo, I'm going to see the calf." The rooster greeted Bo and planned to go out.

"Do you know that Colt wants to buy a ranch?" Bo narrowed his eyes.

The rooster stopped and wanted to go out,

"Know"

"You want to lend him money?"

"Yes" Rooster replied calmly, he didn't want to get involved in the war between his brother and his father.

"He is a third-rate rugby player. He has left home since he was a child. Do you think he will take care of the ranch well? Your money must have gone to waste." Bo's words were full of disdain for his younger son. .

"He's my brother, if he needs it, I'll lend him it." The rooster was silent for a while,

"A man who didn't do a good job in rugby and got a job with the help of Li, now wants to be a rancher?"

The rooster didn't answer, he pushed open the door and walked out, only when he closed the door did he remember his words.

"I'd like to let him try, he's the son of a cowboy."

The footsteps faded away, and Bo was still sitting in a daze, his face expressionless for a long time, the corners of his mouth upturned.

"Stinky boys."
