The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 152 151. Colt’s Baseball Dream

"Hey, brother."

"you are?"

"You are Colt, right? I am Lin Feng, and this is Jasmine."

"Lin Feng? Wait, I seem to have heard your name somewhere. Give me some time to think about it."

"Give me a hint, Lakeside Ranch."

Lin Feng met Colter on the top platform of an apartment in Billings. He had just returned from the team's training ground and was about to go to the top to take a breath of fresh air. As a result, he met a strange couple who knew him.

The big boy wearing a baseball cap and jacket in front of him fell into deep thought, and then screamed in surprise.

"Lakeside Ranch? You are the young rancher!" Colter was extremely surprised.

"Sir, it seems that your reputation has spread far and wide." Jasmine joked.

Lin Feng looked at him. This guy was wearing a pair of women's Martin boots. Although he didn't understand these, this was definitely a style that only girls would buy.

It feels weird.

"How is my mom doing at your ranch? Is she okay?"

"Great, why don't you ask your dad, David Hubbard."

"Him? He is a person who will never owe himself anything in life, so there is nothing to ask." Colter spread his hands.

Lin Feng told him the truth. Colter's mother asked him to come over to see how her younger son was doing. She also mentioned it during the previous horse racing competition.

Colter said with a smile: "Thanks to mom, I have a good life in Billings. She has nothing to worry about."

However, the Billings Broncos are just a team affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds, with meager wages and a semi-professional league.

"I can still succeed. I just need one chance, one chance to start. I have the ability to change the game." Colter said.

Lin Feng admires his confidence, but if this guy is really capable, why can't he play in the secondary leagues, and he is not too young anymore.

Lin Feng said: "Maybe you should go back and see your dad. He is almost sixty years old."

Colter shook his head, "Every time we meet, he always asks me to serve him coffee."

Jasmine: "Is this too much?"

"It sounds like nothing to you means giving in to me. He always said I wasn't a baseball player, just a lazy ass who dreamed of being a baseball player. What would you do if it were you, accept the ridicule calmly?"

Lin Feng still said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs.

No one else could intervene in the conflict between Hubbard and his son, not even Catherine.

But Colt was very friendly and invited them to sit in the bar downstairs and have something to eat.

I didn't know if this guy still had money to pay the bills, so Lin Feng didn't take action for fear of hurting his self-esteem.

It can be seen that Colter is a strong guy, and to put it nicely, he is motivated.

Lin Feng doesn't understand baseball, and he doesn't know how good he is, but having an innocent heart is a good thing after all.

We talked a lot that night, and Colter poured beer after bottle into his stomach. Finally, he promised to go to the ranch to visit his parents during his break.

Two days later, Colter showed up at Lakeside Ranch as promised.

He seemed to be in good spirits. He told Lin Feng that he had been selected for the Cincinnati Reds and was working hard to win.

"I know it's hard, but I want to try." Colter said firmly. "I don't want to escape anymore. I want to prove to myself and my dad that I can become a real baseball player." .”

Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder to express his support. It's not an easy road to walk, but Colter has taken another step. Call Uncle David.

"Go back to the wooden villa and give you a surprise." Lin Feng pretended.

David: "I saw Colt. To me, there was no joy, only surprise. The question was how he came back."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's normal for my son to want to see his father."

After speaking, he looked at Colt, who looked helpless.

After hanging up the phone, Colter said: "He doesn't welcome me, right? So you should understand how hard I worked to show up here."

Lin Feng spread his hands and said nothing. With Old David's temper, he might become tense if he stayed for a while.

Looking at the three hundred cows strolling leisurely in the distance and the lively lambs, Colter praised that the pasture was good and life here was very comfortable.

"You don't have to fight for a spot. To be honest, I also like this kind of life, but only after I am 70 or 80 years old."

As soon as Colter finished speaking, old David appeared out of nowhere.

"The premise is that you have enough pension, otherwise instead of enjoying life, you will have to work as a salesperson in a convenience store."

As soon as David finished speaking, Catherine stood behind him.

He quickly changed his mind, "Of course the job of a salesperson is also very good. You can deal with different people every day, and you also get a free lunch."

Lin Feng was amused, the old man's reaction speed was quite fast.

Theoretically, when a family of three meets, they should hug each other and look at each other's physical features, but this kind of thing probably won't happen between the Hubbards.

Colter was very enthusiastic towards his mother, but when it was his father's turn, he stood there with his hands in his pockets and swayed.

"Boy, shouldn't you take the initiative to hug me? Don't forget who brought you to this world." David said.

Colter glanced at him and turned to Catherine, "Thank you again, Mom."

Lin Feng stood aside and watched the three of them perform, and couldn't help laughing.

Going to the far cabin, Colt felt good about the living environment of his parents.

In fact, Lin Feng had always wanted them to move to a larger building, but the couple insisted on living here, saying that the space was small and easy to clean up.

Previously in Hot Springs Town, Catherine bought a second-hand RV to use as her home. A woman who is willing to live in an RV is quite unique.

As long as David didn't speak, the atmosphere could still be harmonious.

As long as the old man participates in the topic, it will inevitably turn into a debate.

Lin Feng was helpless and didn't want to worry about it.

They were left to have dinner at home at noon, and Lin Feng cooked the food himself.

During this time, my mother caught a cold, and he began to take care of the family's three meals a day.

Colter has been to Chinese restaurants and said he has eaten there many times with his teammates in Billings. He likes spicy food and has a liking for Sichuan cuisine.

It's a pity that Lin Feng can only cook Shandong cuisine and can't satisfy this guy's appetite.

Regarding Colter's baseball career, he painted himself as a high-potential player who could become a household name if given the chance.

Lin Feng felt that this guy must be bragging. If that was the case, the coach wouldn't be able to let him sit on the bench after so many years. At least he should have a chance to show off in the Broncos.

As it turned out, his father and his eldest brother were surprisingly unanimous in this regard, thinking that Colt was like a duck swinging a bat on the field.
