Lisco's American Life

"Surprise"

"Happy birthday dad."

"Happy birthday, uncle,"

"Brother,"

After his eyesight adapted to the stimulation of strong light, Zhang You saw so many people suddenly appearing in the living room in front of him, and then he realized what had happened. He had a surprised look on his face and before he could restrain himself, he said that he had received many kinds of messages.

All kinds of blessings, and his pregnant daughter immediately stepped forward with a happy face and put the birthday greeting hat that had been prepared long ago on her head. In this process, Zhang You has been passively accepting,

After all, she hadn't gotten rid of that surprised look, and she hadn't had time to digest all the situations that were unfolding before her.

"What are you doing? You've already prepared it, right? You're acting out a story for me at noon? Hey, why are you all here? Xiaoyu, Heman, and Zhang Yong,"

Looking at the many familiar faces in front of him, Zhang You didn't know how to express this sudden surprise. It has to be said that the older a person gets, the less able he is to accept surprises, and even

Sometimes when the heart can't bear it, there will be some other kind of comfort. Until this moment, Zhang You still feels that his heart is always jumping wildly.

"It's been prepared for a long time. It's a surprise. I definitely can't let you find out. They're all here. My brother-in-law set out yesterday. He arrived here in the morning. Xiaoyu didn't arrive until almost noon. You didn't see us at noon.

Went to pick someone up."

Seeing his father's appearance at this moment, Zhang Li felt that the surprise plan he had made in advance was indeed shocking, and it also had a relatively perfect effect. At this moment, his father's mood must be both contradictory and contradictory.

I was confused. I originally thought that everyone in my family had forgotten my birthday, but I didn’t expect that everyone was creating a bigger surprise for me. This kind of impact made people feel excited all the time, and I still didn’t feel it for a while.

Way to calm down.

"Oh, you kid, I've told you, you don't need to make a fuss, but you still make it so exaggerated and wasteful. Let's just sit down and have a meal together. What's the difference between 60th birthday and 60th birthday? The older you get, the older you get.

quick."

Although it seems that Zhang You is full of complaints and complaints, the smile and happy expression on his face cannot be faked at all. This kind of duplicity ability also seems to be very superb.

A group of people pushed Zhang You back to the sofa in the living room. Before everyone could start reminiscing and chatting, Zhang Li immediately entered the next step of his plan. Sometimes this kind of emotional impact should be cumbersome and frequent.

Some people can maximize the effect. After his father accepts the current situation, the effect may not be as good as he imagined.

"Okay, okay, you sit down first. Next is the gift-giving process. I will put my gift at the end and let your son-in-law give it to you first. After receiving the gift, you can catch up on old times and chat while we eat.

"

Although after understanding the gifts given by everyone, he found that everyone's gifts were extraordinarily thoughtful, but Zhang Li thought that his gift might be the one that his father would like the most among so many gifts, and he was very confident.

Let others show you the gift first, and keep the surprise to yourself at the end.

Li Sk here kept smiling and watching, smiling as he watched his father-in-law interact with other people. When he heard his wife calling his name, he immediately took out the package that had already been packaged from behind.

The gift box, then stepped forward and handed it over with a respectful look.

"Dad, this is a gift from me. I wish you are as long as the moon, as high as the sun, as long as the Nanshan Mountain, and as long as the pines and cypresses. May you be able to carry on everything."

It has to be said that the way literati celebrate birthdays is very different from that of ordinary people. If it were an ordinary person, it might mean a dry blessing like the East China Sea, and the birthday would be over as long as the Nanshan Mountain. However, literati can always use some more beautiful birthday wishes.

Smooth words express the same meaning. From this sentence, we can fully see Liske's Chinese skills, which also shocked everyone present.

"Good, good, good, good kid, okay, okay, I'll accept it."

Originally, Zhang You thought of accepting the gifts for the time being and not opening them in front of others to save everyone's face as much as possible, because no matter whether the gift is valuable or not, it represents the other person's feelings, and everyone's consumption level

It’s also different. There is a feeling of comparison when unpacking it on the spot, which always makes people feel that it is not so elegant. But that and my daughter don’t think so. After living in the United States for a period of time, they have fully absorbed the habits and gifts of each other’s lives.

, the maximum effect can be achieved only by unpacking it on the spot.

"Dad, don't leave it alone, you open it. After dinner tonight, you have to pick out your favorite gift and compare it. We also have to compare each other internally whose gift is more thoughtful, not based on the expensive price.

To define, it depends on the degree of uniqueness.”

"Oh, it looks like this. It's going to be demolished."

Today Zhang You seems to have lost the ability to be independent. He obeys whatever his daughter says, and the smile on his face never stops. Just receiving such a huge surprise plan is already surprising.

Unexpectedly, there was also a gift-giving part, which made me feel even more valued. Being able to be accompanied by so many family members on my 60th birthday was very unforgettable and familiar to me.

After untying the outer packaging of the ribbon, a bright red satin box appeared in front of everyone. When the box was opened, almost all the older people opened their mouths involuntarily.

Because the box contains a specially processed ginseng that looks like a villain, it may be difficult for outsiders to understand the significance of ginseng to Chinese people. In almost all movies and TV dramas and in people’s popular science concepts, ginseng is

It is related to life extension, and the more human-like it is, the more expensive it is. Looking at the current shape, it must have taken a lot of effort to get it.

"This is a wild ginseng from the Changbai Mountains that is more than 300 years old. I bought it from an auction because I didn't know what to give as a gift. I picked this one after looking around. It's not that I have any other ideas, I just hope it can

Having this thing close by makes the elderly feel more at ease."

Seeing that everyone present was shocked by the high value of his gift, Lisko was quite satisfied and had achieved his original intention of giving the gift. Maybe giving ginseng to the other party on his birthday was not a good behavior. After all,

After all, ginseng is also a medicine. Who hopes to receive medicine on their birthday, but ginseng is different after all. Because of its rarity and price, people will subconsciously ignore the meaning of this action.
