Lisko’s American Life

Now that Christmas is coming, the whole castle will naturally start to get busy. The women in the family start to prepare ingredients and food for the whole Christmas holiday dinner. Getting ready for Christmas presents.

Standing in the warehouse specially prepared by the Lisko family, whether it is Xiaoyu or Zhang You, it is the first time to set foot in this area that is relatively unfamiliar to them. The shelves in front of them and all kinds of high-end gifts make them It feels like you are in a supermarket.

"Brother-in-law, this is a bit too exaggerated. Did you just buy the whole supermarket?"

Xiaoyu wandered around the room very curiously, carefully observing the origin and price of every product and gift on the shelf. The various brand names printed on the product packaging boxes were enough to make him Feeling shocked.

Even the lowest-end gifts in the room will cost no less than 1,000 US dollars on the market. After converting these prices into currencies he is more familiar with in his mind, Xiaoyu's movements became softer, even The voice of speaking can't help but lowered, for fear that because his voice is too loud, these seemingly tall shelves will be in danger of collapsing.

"Many of these are before Christmas or other festivals. After receiving favors from others, throwing away those imminent products and funny gifts between friends, all the rest that can be used and given away are here. "

While explaining the origin of these gifts to several people around him, Lisko couldn't help but feel proud. In the United States, giving each other Christmas gifts is already a relatively close existence, and since he traveled to this world Since he was born, he has always been kind to many people in order to communicate with others and realize his own plans. These gifts also fully demonstrate the complexity and breadth of his network of contacts.

In other respects, these gifts can also be regarded as a symbol of Lisko's status and strength in this society. If it wasn't for the other party's attention to the strength and resources behind you, the relationship between the two parties would definitely only be maintained on the surface and would not continue to extend downward.

In this country of absolute capitalism and consortium control, if you want to gain some friendships and relationships worth making, you need to carefully select and discern.

And being able to reach a relatively equal relationship with Lisko and being very close, without exception, can improve his life and other places. It can be said that among those who give gifts to him Pick one, in their local area or in other fields, it may be an existence that can call the wind and rain.

If a family wants to go on steadily and smoothly in this society for a long time, the necessary alliance of interests is indispensable. A heart from one's own family is a witness to the relationship and friendship between the two parties.

Of course, at the family level, if I have received gifts from other families in previous years, but I have not received gifts from this family this year, I will definitely feel that I have been disgraced and despised by others. In the family circle, this is more like a signal of breaking off diplomatic relations, and the cooperation and contact between the two parties may break after that.

On this issue, both Eastern and Western countries seem to have the same attitude, as if they all regard this kind of face work as extremely important and precious.

If you put it in the previous Lisko, the preparation of Christmas gifts every year is very easy and fast. You only need to choose some gifts step by step, write your own business card, and hand it over to the logistics personnel to arrange delivery. The whole process took less than an hour.

Because he was a loner at that time, and he had no plans to start a family. According to the custom, giving Christmas gifts was just to maintain the friendship and relationship with others, which was more meaningful than intentional.

But now that Lisko had his own children before he got married, he couldn't be so perfunctory in this matter. In order to let the other party feel your sincerity, when choosing gifts, you should not only take into account the interests and hobbies shown by the other party all the time, but also let the other party feel your heart and sincerity from these gifts.

With such a change in thinking, choosing gifts and packaging has become a relatively cumbersome preparation work, and it is best for Lisko to do this by himself, and he needs to send a greeting card written by himself according to the target of the gift. , so that it can be regarded as a more polite thing.

Now in the warehouse of the whole family, in addition to the existence of Lisko, Zhang You and Xiaoyu, Payne is also always ready to help. This matter is also something that he, the housekeeper, needs to handle by himself, so his presence is naturally indispensable.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's hurry up and don't delay the family dinner later."

Because Payne has already made corresponding preparations, both the gift boxes and ribbons for wrapping gifts are neatly placed next to them, and the goods in the warehouse are also placed in different categories and functions. On the shelf, this work is relatively simple and fast. You only need to choose different gifts for packaging according to the importance of the gift to the guests.

Zhang You and Xiaoyu were in charge of wrapping and receiving gifts. Payne was next to them and put them in different places according to the packaged goals, and Lisko’s main job was to write one after another. greeting card.

Under Lisko's order, the three of them seemed to be a relatively smooth assembly line. The gift box was passed from one person's hand to another person's hand, and finally ended at Payne. The progress of the whole work has also been accelerated a lot, and the tacit understanding of cooperation has also improved.

After finishing these relatively tedious tasks, two hours had passed. Not to mention how tired the others were, Lisko's wrists that had not used pens for a long time felt exhausted just by writing these greeting cards.

After the label of the last gift was pasted, almost everyone had thin beads of sweat on their foreheads. At the same time, they stood up and beat their backs that had been numb and sore after bending over for a long time.

But looking at the fruits of everyone's busy work for such a long time, and the pile of gift boxes piled up at the door, everyone's face still showed a harvested smile.
