MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 64 pub chat

Recently, Lisko has fallen in love with billiards. It is still very famous in American billiard culture. Colt helps Maggie with the tavern, and Gorley comes to help from time to time, so he bought a few billiard tables and put them in In the tavern, it has won unanimous praise from the town alcoholic.

Just bought it a week ago, and he has already made his money back. Colt has been very arrogant recently. He is really fed up with Beau and Maggie always treating him as a child at the age of 28 or 19. Maybe this is the case. It's also the aftermath of his being away from home for so long, they always focus on the age when Colt is gone.

Lisko has played a few games with common sense. When he is bored, he will come to the tavern to play a few games, and bet beer with a group of people. At the beginning, he always loses and invites the whole tavern to drink it again. , but the generous Lisko is still the most popular person in the tavern.

I hang out in the tavern a lot, and I always see a lot of people and things. It also makes Lisko gradually get a touch of fireworks, and he is not so rejecting people. I also know the situation of many people in the town from the conversation. .

Os, the construction foreman who plays with Lisko now, was Colt's teammate back then, but he was not as lucky as Colt. He was chosen by the club. Even if he didn't play it now, he could easily get by with his qualifications. Working as a football coach.

Oss's father liked to drink alcohol, and his mother died early. When he was in school, he had a great time on the football team, but he didn't play well, and his grades were not good. He left school early, and he didn't have any skills. He pulled up a group of people in the town to contract the project by himself, and he did all the decorations in Lisko and Colt Ranch.

People like Os are very common in the United States. They entered the school team at school. After graduation, they have no way out and no skills. They can only wander and do other jobs. I myself, with a bad mentality, can’t accept the incomparable scenery in the school, and the gap that no one cares about outside the school gate, often ends up not very good, whether it is rugby or basketball, there are too many people like this, who can play and make a living. is only a fraction of the tip of the pyramid.

Lisko has read the reports. In the news, this group is called the straw dog. The straw dog is an ancient sacrifice to the gods.

"Os, how's the construction schedule?" Lisko picked up the flour and ground the club. He bet three beers with Os.

"It's okay, it will be completed next week. Colt's house is still very easy to build this time. Most of the original parts are made of high-tech materials, so we can do it faster." Oss took a look. The ball was hit in one shot but was not pocketed, and he threw a punch in annoyance.

Lisko smiled, and confidently made a hole-in-one and threw down the club.

"Three glasses," he smiled and watched Os go to the front desk to buy beer.

Recently, his skills have skyrocketed, and he has slowly won back the wine he exported. There are not many people who can beat him steadily in the tavern.

However, very few people are willing to play with him now. They know that it is a losing game, and no one is so obsessed with it.

Os came over with a beer, handed it to Lisko, and the two clink glasses.

"Another round?" Lisko invited again.

"I'm convinced." Oss took a gulp of beer, the suds stained his beard, and shook his head at Lisko.

"I didn't expect that the talent you learned when you were in school could still be used here. You can learn anything quickly. I'm no longer your opponent in two weeks."

Os was a little emotional, some people are really talented, you have worked hard for a long time, and you are not as good as others.

"Isn't that true? Playing two **** can still talk about life?" Lisko looked at Oss a little lost, and laughed and joked to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

After all, in the eyes of others, Lisko is a weak scholar-type person, and as a result, he also defeated him, a well-known sportsman in competitive sports.

"I heard you got married?" Lisko chatted with him.

"Yes, I just had a son." Oss' face was filled with joy from his heart,

Although Li Ke and him are also classmates, the relationship is not that close yet. Everyone's relationship is only based on knowing each other and saying hello when they meet. I haven't talked much since I came back this time, so I don't know much about his current situation. .

"My son will go to school well in the future. I think he will be a doctor in the future. He often likes to watch some medical programs." Aos proudly bragged to Lisko.

Of course Lisko wouldn't argue with him. This is a father's expectation for his son. Who can tell what will happen in the future? Maybe his one-year-old son will really be a doctor.

In the United States, doctors and lawyers are the upper-class occupations that everyone envy, and they are also respected in society. Any family who engages in this will really raise the family class up.

Financiers are not so popular, because they often carry high risks in this profession, while doctors and lawyers do not. If there are clients, they will have income. They use their solid knowledge to make money, financiers It is often speculative, and when the economy is turbulent, there will be more bankrupt financiers on the streets.

"Yes." Lisko clinked his glasses again and came to the bar. Colt was wiping his beer mugs. He was fine on Sunday, and the ranch had not yet started, so he was open for business here. It's him here.

"Is there any news from Maggie recently?" Lisko put the wine glass on the table and chatted casually with Colt.

The last time Maggie got news was half a month ago. At that time, she went to see the canyon rafting, and she excitedly called them to see the photos she took, and sent a few special postcards back.

"I heard that she followed a group of people to see the ancient ruins of the Indians, and she often forgot to report our safety." Colt's tone contained some complaints.

But Maggie's going out this time is really like a wild horse that has been off the reins. She was in this state a few days ago, and the day after tomorrow, she has already crossed over to another place. It seems that the enthusiasm that has been held back for decades suddenly burst out.

"I'm worried now that she will come back with a man when she comes back." Colt confided to Lisko a little seriously, "I called me a few days ago and said I met a French tourist painter, very romantic."

Although Maggie and Beau have been divorced from the branch, they have often lived together over the years. Although this is very common in the United States, children generally do not interfere with their parents' emotional life. For children, I still want parents to be together.

"No, I think Maggie has a lot in her heart." Lisko was very calm. He knew that Maggie was nervous when she had surgery last time.

"Hopefully," Colt had no hope for his mother's unreliable appearance.
