Lisco's American Life

Li Feng went to the kitchen and started to prepare some food for the two of them with a happy mood. The rice noodles purchased from China were not finished yet, so she was cooking rice noodles with big bone broth.

At the same time, there are a few pieces of sauced meat, garnished on top of the steaming rice noodles, and garnished with green onions and coriander. It looks very beautiful.

"Come on, eat quickly, eat it while it's hot, it tastes best when it's hot."

Putting the cooked rice noodles on the dining table, the whole living room was filled with the aroma of bone soup.

"Wow, Mom, I love you."

Zhang Li saw that there were still big bones in his bowl, and he immediately exclaimed happily. The big bones with bone marrow still had a little bit of meat left on them. The fragrance was spread on the bones, and it looked mouth-watering.

.

This is Zhang Li's best. What she enjoys the most is the feeling of the bone marrow being sucked out of the bones. Coupled with the taste of being simmered for a long time, it is really delicious.

After Li Ke and Zhang Li devoured the rice noodles in their bowls, they had to burp. It seemed that they had to eat some for lunch, otherwise their stomachs would not be able to hold it.

Zhang You here was busy in the bedroom. He returned to his room as soon as he entered the castle and seemed to be preparing something.

After finishing all his own things, he packed it up properly, stuffed the things into his pockets, patted them with satisfaction, and felt the weight of the things.

Then with a smile, he walked into the living room.

"Sko, come here, I have something to do with you."

Zhang You first exchanged glances with Li Feng, nodded inaudibly, indicating that his matter was done, and then called Lisko.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

After the first shout came out, Lisko became a lot more casual, and he was not so embarrassed when shouting out. He looked at Zhang You's movements and walked over in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Li didn't understand what it meant yet. He looked at the interaction between his father and Li Sko and spoke with a puzzled look on his face.

"It has nothing to do with you. Are you full?"

Li Feng's tone was still very strict. She scolded Zhang Li and then asked. Seeing the other person holding his stomach with satisfaction, he stood up and cleared away the dishes and chopsticks for the two of them.

"Take this, take it."

Zhang You handed something over and stuffed it into his pocket before Lisko could see it clearly. Lisko felt that it was heavy on his body and took it out with a puzzled expression.

This is a red envelope. The style is the most popular in China, but it is a little different from the New Year red envelopes. The other red envelopes have the words Happy New Year and Good Wishes for Prosperity.

The red envelope says "Hundred Years of Happiness", so it should have been prepared in advance. After all, this thing is not easy to buy in the United States. Even if it is available, it is printed in English because it is in the United States.

Affected by the cultural impact of China, many foreigners now also like to celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival. Every year on this day, everyone spontaneously gathers in Chinatown to celebrate with the Chinese, buy some snacks, and watch the dragon dance and

lanterns,

The Spring Festival seems to have become not only a festival for the Chinese, but also a carnival for people all over the world.

Since we are going to participate in this festival, we cannot help but have a deep understanding of various customs, so many Americans have also followed suit, such as the custom of red envelopes and the painting of couplets.

Businessmen are the most opportunity-seeking group in the world. Seeing that foreigners are also celebrating the Spring Festival, they specially made American versions of door paintings and couplets. Most of the words are in English. This is for the convenience of Americans.

know.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Although Liske knew about these things, he still didn't understand the red envelope Zhang You gave him. It was out of season, and besides, he also received the red envelope from Zhang You during the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Li watched the movements of the two men and his father's expression. He understood something and looked at Lisko with a smile on his face.

"This is our custom that day. Since you have changed your story, you will have to pay a change fee. I also know that you are not short of money, but this is a little bit of our heart and represents our recognition of you, so we cannot refuse.

"

When Zhang You said this, his face was full of happiness. They had prepared this red envelope before departure and kept it under the bed. They had no chance to take it out. They originally planned to wait for the two of them to receive the certificate, regardless of whether the other party had it.

Without changing his words, he gave them all to Lisko.

After all, the other party is a foreigner, and the two elders cannot let them blindly cater to the customs of their own country.

Unexpectedly, Lisko gave everyone a surprise today, so it was justifiable to take out this red envelope at this time.

Lisko really never thought that he would have such a harvest today. He looked at the red envelope in his hand and saw that it was heavy. When he touched it, he felt that the thickness was about 10,000.

Of course, the denomination is RMB. If it were US dollars, wouldn't it drain the couple's wallet dry?

This is really the first time in my life that I have received such a red envelope. After all, it was my first time to get married in my previous life, so naturally I have no relevant experience.

Moreover, Zhang You and Li Feng are both retired now, and basically have no source of income. The only family expenses are pensions, which are about 10,000, and they should be able to save for a long time.

But living in the castle is much more convenient now. There is almost no expenditure. They don't need to buy food or daily consumption, and there is nothing to spend money on.

Li Ke glanced at Zhang Li with some embarrassment, wondering whether he should take the money. After all, although the money was nothing to him, it was still a huge expense for the old couple.

"Take it, we will be more filial and filial from now on."

After receiving the certificate in the morning, Zhang Li naturally assumed the identity of his wife and spoke to remind Lisko.

Although it was her first time, she still knew the customs around her. The customs in China were like this. A son-in-law had to pay a correction fee for the first time he changed his confession. This had been circulated for a long time, and she had naturally seen it before.

"Okay."

Li Ke thought for a while and put the red package in his pocket. Although he received the money, he could not let the old couple suffer. In the future, he asked Zhang Li to give Li Feng some household expenses every now and then, so he would make up for it.

After all, Zhang You has just said that this cannot be declined. If he keeps nagging, as if he looks down on the money, he will definitely hurt the other person's heart.

"Then I'll accept it, thank you dad."

Seeing Li Sike put the red envelope into his pocket, Zhang You was satisfied. He nodded. Now that he heard the other party calling him dad, it felt more pleasant.
