Lisco's American Life

It was as if Xiaoyu encountered bad luck today. Liske stood behind him and watched for nearly half an hour. He never won a game, and what followed was a breakdown in his mind.

Xiaoyu was so happy helping Liske play just now, but now he was in so much pain. Both of them held back their strength and made up for all the pain they had just suffered.

Li Sko observed that Xiaoyu's forehead was red and seemed to be a little swollen. When he picked up the newly dealt cards again, he threw them away angrily and spoke.

"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore. I haven't won a single game this afternoon, so maybe I'm not suitable for playing cards."

He gave up, and the other two people did not continue. After putting away the cards, they patted his shoulders comfortingly.

"We thought about cheating at first so that we could regain our position, but it turned out that you are so bad today, so there is no need to cheat."

Xiaoyu was very hurt and looked at Liske helplessly. He didn't know how he could take over his position and keep losing.

Because the card table was broken up, everyone started looking for other things to play. I don’t know who suggested it, and said that they should set off some firecrackers. This idea was unanimously approved by everyone.

Everyone dispersed and went home, took apart the firecrackers set off during the New Year at home, picked the biggest ones and stuffed them into their pockets.

Xiaoyu took Lisko back to his home. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the utility room, which was specially used to store New Year supplies.

"Eh? Why are you going?"

Father Zhang looked at his son's movements and was a little confused.

"Set off the cannons."

Xiaoyu moved very quickly and installed the things in three strokes. However, before Liske could say hello, he was dragged away by Xiaoyu. He could only show a helpless smile to his uncle.

"This boy."

Zhang’s father didn’t say much. He had been struggling in school for a year and naturally went crazy during the New Year. However, considering that Xiaoyu’s grades were pretty good and he could get a scholarship at school, so for his daily entertainment

, Father Zhang does not have too strict rules.

As for Lisko, he had long heard from his brother about his background and that he was also an upper-class person in the United States. His son could have a good relationship with such a person and play together, which made him feel more at ease.

Ink is black, this proverb has been passed down from ancient times, and it is not groundless.

Gathering under the big tree at the entrance of the village, he looked at the crowd around him. They were still the same group who had just played cards. Everyone had their pockets bulging. It was estimated that many houses would be half-burned by the firecrackers tomorrow morning.

It went out.

"Let's go fry the fish."

Xiaoyu waved his hand, high-spirited, and led a group of people towards the pond on the east side of the village.

Lisko had never participated in such activities. In his previous life, he was alone and lived in an orphanage. Although there were entertainment activities in the yard, it was impossible to set off firecrackers.

Every Spring Festival, he would lie on the window sill and watch the groups of children running around with firecrackers outside. Their cheerful laughter could not even be blocked by the walls and penetrated his ears.

After graduation and working, because I am older, I no longer have the opportunity to play these things.

Unknowingly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he followed the crowd to the front of the pond.

"Are there any fish in here?"

Lisko stretched his head, looked at the quiet pond, and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I caught a big one a few days ago. There are quite a lot of fish in here."

A boy next to him was explaining and looking at Lisko curiously, a little hesitant to speak.

Xiaoyu took out the firecrackers he had brought and gave half of them to Lisko. At the same time, he also sent a lighter.

"Brother-in-law, when you play with these, you should throw it faster. The fuse of this cannon is relatively short. If you throw it slowly, it may explode."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Shankai took it with great interest. The firecrackers were bigger than a thumb and looked quite powerful. In fact, Lisko had thrown grenades too often, but he was still very interested in firecrackers. This was even more of a confrontation.

The obsession I had when I was a kid but couldn’t get what I wanted.

Leiter was a gun seller, and grenades were not a rare thing for him. Lisko had played with them many times.

Pick up the lighter, press the switch, the flame comes out from the fire outlet, light it against the fuse, and immediately throw it into the pond. Tiny bubbles appear on the water, and then there is a "crash", and a dull sound comes from the water.

The pool water was lifted up as high as a person.

"Brother-in-law, you threw it too fast. I meant to throw it earlier, but you threw it too early."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he showed him a demonstration by lighting a firecracker, holding it in his hand for about two seconds, and then threw it into the pool with quick eyes and hands.

"bang".

It does sound louder than Lisko's.

Under the leadership of the two people, everyone started their own fish frying operation, and the sound of firecrackers kept ringing. As for whether the fish was fried or not, it didn't matter, as long as the process was enjoyable.

When Lisko finished throwing away all the firecrackers in his hand, he didn't see any fish. He couldn't help but doubt that there were fish in the pond, and they might be hiding in the depths and hibernating.

After continuing to play for a while, Xiaoyu took Lisko home, because he still had things to do later. Visiting the graves of deceased elders is something that adult men in the family must do.

When Liske returned home, Zhang You had already prepared things and took a rough look. The basket contained ghost coins, fruits, cooked meat, small hanging firecrackers, golden paper folded ingots, and yellow

Something like tissue paper.

Because he and Zhang Li were not married yet, it was not convenient for them to go together. Zhang You did not bring it up, and Li Ke was happy and did not go along.

Xiaoyu, Zhang You and Zhang Kui left the house with solemn expressions. Li Ke, who had nothing to do, went to the kitchen to help Li Feng and Zhang Li wrap rice dumplings. Time passed bit by bit.

When Zhang You came back, it was already half an hour later. Liske returned to his room and dealt with unread emails. Although he was in China, he could receive notifications of all the company's events, including major ones.

Without his approval, things still cannot be effective.

Li Feng then started to prepare dinner. The New Year's Eve dinner is the most important family dinner of the year. Of course, it should be as sumptuous as possible. Although there are only four of them at home, Li Feng is still prepared to prepare a full table.

to express expectations for the new year.

The aroma wafted out from the kitchen, which made Lisko's stomach, which was not very hungry at first, start to growl. He could only take a handful of Zhang Li's snacks to appease his restless stomach.
