Lisco's American Life

After receiving permission, Goli opened the brocade box, and what she saw was a touch of golden color.

Inside is a longevity lock in the shape of a bull's head, with the words "Longevity" written in Chinese on the back.

"This is a gift with Chinese characteristics. This year is 2009. According to Chinese research, it is the year of the Ox, so it is made in the shape of a bull's head to bless him as healthy as a calf. The words behind it mean longevity, and

It’s not that I hope he lives to be a hundred years old, but that he can grow up quickly and live a happy and peaceful life.”

Lisko estimated that Goli didn't understand the meaning of this gift, so he explained it directly.

"According to Chinese people, this is a talisman, a lucky object, which can ward off evil spirits, exorcise ghosts, eliminate disasters, and pray for blessings. This thing is called a longevity lock, which means it can lock life."

Moreover, Li Scott specially selected the items from Chinatown, and the whole thing is made of gold. It is also a big fortune and can be used as an emergency resource when the baby encounters difficulties in the future.

To be honest, Lisko was particularly confused when choosing gifts. He didn't know what to give.

In the United States, no matter whether it is a big or small occasion, you have to give a gift to your friends, and people here especially like this custom of giving gifts to each other.

Lisko's biggest headache in recent years has been this problem. He cannot repeat the gift he gives to one person each time, otherwise it will appear that he is perfunctory, and the gift must be unique, which really takes a lot of his brain.

Later, he summed up his experience. Every time he gave gifts, he would go to Chinatown and give some gifts with Chinese customs. These foreigners especially liked this kind of mysterious things that they had never seen before.

And everyone knows that Lisko's ancestors are Chinese, and he is also very fascinated by Chinese culture. Now that he has found a Chinese girlfriend, giving these gifts does not seem out of place.

Just like the rooster, the gifts he received from Lisko in recent years included facial makeup, fans, ink paintings, bamboo boards, flutes, meteorites, and clay sculptures.

As for Colt, it's even simpler. Some Chinese translation of the Art of War or the like can be used in rugby formation training.

This convenient method also allowed Lisko to spend several good years.

"Thank you so much. This is really great."

After listening to Lisko's explanation, Geli was really moved. As a newborn mother, she can look at anything that is beneficial to the baby in a new light, and this gift is very unique and has such a good meaning.

Goli stepped forward again, gave Lisko a hug, and kissed him on the face to express her gratitude.

Maggie was looking at the two of them with a smile.

Lisko broke away from Goli's embrace and wiped his face in disgust at the saliva Goli had just left.

As good friends who grew up together, Lisko, Colt and Goli are all very good friends, and these actions will not cause anyone to misunderstand.

"By the way, and also, this is a gift from Zhang Li. As you know, she has been extremely busy with classes recently, so she can only entrust me to bring it with her. I want to say sorry."

Lisko took out another red box from his pocket. This box was not as big as his own, but the packaging was very delicate.

In order to take care of Zhang Li, Ge Li specially invited Zhang Li to her bachelor party, and Zhang Li also offered gifts to her. According to custom, she prepared gifts for him.

After Zhang Li arranged the gift, Liske went to buy it. Of course, Zhang Li paid for it herself, which represents her affection for Gao Li.

Ge Li opened it again, and there was a jade ornament made of Hetian jade inside. It was in the shape of a gourd. It was not big, only about the size of a little finger, but it was worth a lot, probably costing thousands of dollars.

Moreover, the store owner patted his chest and assured that this was genuine Hetian jade. The jade shop was also an old brand and would not engage in shoddy goods.

"This thing is called a gourd in China, which is homophonic with Fulu. It means that I hope he will live a happy life in the future and be able to make a difference."

Lisko was afraid that Goli, a foreigner, wouldn't understand, so he explained it by the way.

Of course, this gift made Goli jump for joy again, and at the same time, she also wanted to understand Chinese culture.

In her opinion, Chinese culture is so colorful and meaningful.

I think that when I have time, I must ask Zhang Li for some knowledge in this area.

Moreover, most Americans have the impression that China is mysterious and has a long history, and more and more people are interested in China's unique characteristics.

In duty-free shops at Chinese airports, the best-selling items are definitely fans, Chinese knots, writing brushes, and porcelain. Many Americans who have been to China will buy some as surprises for their friends at Christmas.

Ge Li believes that if she gives someone a gift in the future, if she buys it from mysterious China and explains the meaning, she will definitely be more popular than everyone else's gift.

After Lisko handed over the gift, he deliberately dodged it, fearing that Goli would come up for a kiss again. Seeing that Goli was eager to give it a try, his expression changed drastically and he stopped him directly.

"Don't mess with me. This gift is from Zhang Li. You have to kiss her."

After saying that, he couldn't avoid it and fled directly, leaving behind only the hearty laughter of Goli and Maggie.

Ge Li took the gift and couldn't put it down, and tried to put it on the baby. There was a gold longevity lock around her neck, and a jade gourd given by Zhang Li on her wrist. Then she happily held the baby in her arms, took a photo, and passed it to Colt so that he could be with her.

Experience this surprise together.

At the same time, I was secretly carrying the meaning of Lisko's explanation just now, and planned to show it off in front of Colt.

Zhang Li's gift is also very particular. The baby will take the pendant on his body into his mouth and play with it, while Hetian jade is not easy to be damaged and is not afraid of being bitten by the baby.

This gourd-shaped jade ornament is not big in size and will not make the baby feel heavy or a burden to himself.

The surface is smooth and has no sharp edges, so it will not scratch your baby's delicate skin.

Hetian jade has a cool nature, so it is most suitable for children to wear in summer to avoid the heat and cool down.

Choosing this gift really took Zhang Li a lot of thought.

Lisko fled to the door, mounted his horse, and rushed to his pasture.

When Colt's house was no longer in sight, he wiped his cold sweat.

This Goli has really opened up a lot after getting married, and is as tough as a female gangster.

He is also capable of making any kind of joke, and he seems to especially enjoy seeing himself in embarrassment.

Lisko was still an elegant person at heart, and of course he couldn't stand Goli's jokes, so he ran away very nervously.
