Chapter 18

Lisko's parting melancholy was also tempered by the explosive sales of this new book.

The next day, Lisko was browsing news about himself on Facebook.

"Lisko's new book is great. After I got the book, I read it overnight. It gave me a lot of insight. The country we live in, this era is in the midst of great changes, and everything is changing with each passing day. With the continuous progress of society, people's ideas are also changing, many people become confused and depressed, they gradually forget their ideals, lose their initial enthusiasm, and begin to yearn for mediocrity.

We are a group of children living in the new era. Naturally, we are used to confusion and troubles, but we should focus on our front, our path, and we should be a group of people with ideals and aspirations. If Holden didn't have his pure ideals, he would have fallen to the bottom, and it was his ideals that kept him alive. Ideal is the guiding light of people, it leads people to the future and to the bright. Our life has just begun, even if life makes our generation a little confused and hesitant, but everything is only temporary, otherwise it will pass. What we need most now is our ideal. "

"The protagonist is full of rebelliousness. He fights, skips classes, smokes, drinks alcohol, etc., all of which are typical rebellious characteristics of adolescent children. He hates school, as well as teachers, classmates and other people and things in school. He always It was because he hoped to escape from real life and go to his ideal world, but he was disappointed and hesitant to be hit by reality again and again, reminding him again and again that there was a gap between ideal and reality.

Indeed, there is a contrast between ideals and reality. Your ideals are often what you can't get in reality but desire to get. The worse the reality, the better the ideal. And ideals can only be realized through our efforts,"

"Holden, whether you are in the wheat field or in the wind and rain, please continue to watch. Watch for the sincerity that is not drowned by falsehood, watch for the simplicity that is not stabbed by vanity, watch for the love that is not smeared by vulgarity, watch. That dream that is not wrapped in money and fame, watch over all the pure and innocent children."

Lisko saw these heated discussions and realized that his book is really too popular right now, and Random House has also stepped up publicity, so the sales this time are likely to be beyond his expectations.

Just after posting on Facebook to thank the readers for their approval, a visitor came to Lisko's house.

"Lee," Rooster and Colt drove Bo's second-hand pickup to the front of the house.

Lisko opened the refrigerator, took two cans of their favorite beer, and threw them over.

"Why are you free to come to see me today?" Lisko poured a glass of water and asked them.

"Colt is looking for you," the rooster wiped the beer from his beard.

"Colt?" Lisko looked at him suspiciously.

Colt was a little embarrassed, he held the beer diligently, not knowing how to speak.

"He had a quarrel with Bo, and recently planned to propose to Goree, but Bo chased him out of the ranch." The rooster told Lisko bluntly, not seeing Colt's chirping.

"Have a quarrel with Bo? So you don't have a place to live?" Lisko probably guessed what Colt meant.

"No, there's a house outside our ranch, the one in the woods when we were kids, where Colt lives now."

Lisko recalled the house the rooster was talking about. It was built by Maggie after a quarrel with Bo when she was young, and it has been many years.

"Oh, I remember, but the house hasn't lived in it for a long time. It's still raining, and there are spider webs everywhere. Today's children regard it as a haunted house."

Colt finally spoke at this time, "Lee, I want to ask if I can come and work on your ranch? I want to marry Gorley, but I can't be without a job forever, so I can't support my family, Gorley's parents. I wouldn't want to marry her to an idle **** like me."

Lisko is a bit difficult to handle. The ranch has just enough staff now. If people come in, they will pay unnecessary wages, so other cowboys will have opinions. After all, when the contract was signed, Lisko stipulated that the ranch should remove expenses and then Divided into cowboys. Now the addition of people in has broken the rules set by themselves.

But Colt was his brother from childhood to adulthood. He seldom asked for help if he had any difficulties. If he refused, he would appear inhumane.

Colt saw Lisko's embarrassment, "It doesn't matter Li, in fact, I just asked, don't be too embarrassed, I have been out for so many years, and I have almost forgotten about the things in the ranch. If I come to work, I will have to start again. educational."

Rooster also has nothing to say. As the head of the ranch, Colt is his younger brother, and he really understands Lisko's difficulties.

Suddenly, Lisko raised his head, "Colt, where have you been working all these years?"

Colt was a little embarrassed. After all, he came back in a daze after going out for many years. He had always avoided this kind of thing on purpose.

"After I left home, I went to Florida as a defensive end for the Golden Eagles, played a season with no results before I was cut, and then went to various clubs as a backup until I Come back." Colt said, and then slowly relaxed, "I even went to the university to do sparring for others for a while, for a salary of ten dollars a day."

Lisko interrupted him, "That's it, would you like to go to Garrison Middle School to be a football coach?"

"Coach? I don't have a coaching certificate. When someone suggested me to take one, I was arrogant and thought I would definitely be able to make a mark in the league and be promoted to the first team, so I refused." Colt is a little bit in retrospect now. regrettable.

Lisko picked up the phone, played a number, and motioned to the next two.

"Principal Moss? I'm Lisko."

A hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone, "Li, how are you doing? I just read your new book. It's great. I'm planning to report it to the school board recently to list this book as a must-read in the school's recommendation. "

Lisko responded politely, "Really? Thank you so much. Come and sit with me when you have time? I have a custom Cuban cigar I brought back from my instructor, and it tastes very good."

"Of course, I will definitely not be absent if I have cigars. I also taste the custom-made high-end goods that writers enjoy privately. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Lisko exchanged a few words and then went straight to the topic, "Principal Moss, do you remember Colt from our school? The one who played football,"

Moss on the other end of the phone thought about it. "Remember, I was watching the Golden Eagles game at the time. I thought their coach was an idiot. He always put the pride of Garrison on the bench, and later heard that he was cut."

"Yes, it's that Colt, and now the school honor column has a photo of him leading the school football team to the top 30 in the national middle school football game."

"Bo's son, our school team has never played in Codorola since he left. When his grades were better, there must be universities willing to admit him, but he insisted on joining the club." Moss said in his tone. With regret, he has been the principal for twenty years and regards Garrison Middle School as his home.

"Colt was at home recently, and I was wondering if it is possible to bring a club-level ex-professional football coach to Garrison Middle School to save the school team we have already cut?" Lisko tentatively proposed his own Purpose.

"Of course," Moss agreed after thinking for a while, just as he wanted to cut the inactive coach from the school team.

"But there is a problem. Colt doesn't have a football coaching certificate. This is a problem."

"It doesn't matter, he can join first. I will find a relationship and arrange for him to take the exam directly after three weeks. He used to be a professional player. No one in our Garrison knows how to play the game better than him." Moss's attitude was very clear.

"Well then, I'll arrange for him to go to your office for an interview in the afternoon. I hope he can meet your requirements. I'm also waiting to see our Garrison Middle School play the state game again."
