Lisko’s American Life

After getting permission, Goli opened the brocade box, and what came into view was a touch of golden yellow.

Inside is a long life lock in the shape of a bull's head, and on the back is written in Chinese, the words "Longevity for a Hundred Years".

"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 with health like a calf. The text behind it means longevity and longevity. It’s not about wishing him to live to be a hundred years old, but wishing him to grow up quickly and have a happy and safe life.”

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

"According to the Chinese saying, this is a talisman, a lucky object, which can ward off evil spirits, exorcise ghosts, dispel disasters, and pray for blessings. This thing is called the Longevity Lock, which can lock the meaning of life."

Moreover, the items were specially selected by Li Scott from Chinatown, and the whole thing is made of gold, which is also a considerable fortune, so that the baby can be used in an emergency when encountering difficulties in the future.

To be honest, when choosing a gift, Lisko was extremely entangled, not knowing what to give.

In the United States, regardless of the major or minor festivals, one must send a gift to one's friends, and people here especially like this custom of giving gifts to each other.

In recent years, Lisko has been troubled by this matter the most. Every time he gives a gift to someone, he must not repeat it, otherwise he will appear to be perfunctory, and the gift must be ingenious, which really took him a lot of thinking.

Later, he summed up his experience, and every time he gave a gift, he would go to Chinatown and give some gifts with Chinese customs. These foreigners especially like this mysterious thing, and they have never seen it 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, it doesn't seem like giving these gifts.

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

And Colt is even simpler. Some Chinese translations of the Art of War can be used for football formation training.

This convenient method also allowed Lisko to spend a few years well.

"Thank you so much, this thing is really great."

After listening to Lisko's explanation, Goli was really touched. As a new mother, everything that is good for the baby can make her look at it differently, and this gift is very unique. It also has such a good meaning.

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

And Maggie looked at the two of them with a smile on the side.

Lisko broke free from Goli's embrace, and wiped his face with disgust, the saliva that Goli left just now.

As good friends who grew up together, Lisko, Colt, and Golly are all very good friends, and these actions will not cause everyone's misunderstanding.

"By the way, and also, this is given by Zhang Li. You know, she has been very busy with her classes recently, so she can only entrust me to bring it together. Let me say sorry by the way."

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

In order to take care of Zhang Li, Geli specially invited Zhang Li to her bachelor party, and Zhang Li also sent peaches and plums. According to the custom, he prepared gifts for the other party.

The gift was arranged by Zhang Li, and Li Ke went to buy it. Of course Zhang Li paid for it herself, which represented her affection for Go Li.

Goli opened it again, and there was a jade ornament made of Hetian jade inside, shaped like a gourd, not big, only the size of a little finger, but it was also worth a lot, probably thousands of dollars.

And the shopkeeper patted his chest to assure that this is real Hetian jade, and the jade shop is also an old brand, and will not make shoddy behaviors.

"This thing is called gourd in China, which is a homonym for Fulu, which means that I hope he will live a happy life in the future and at the same time be able to make a difference."

Lisko was afraid that Goli, a foreigner, would not understand, so he explained it by the way.

Of course, this gift made Goli excited again, and at the same time, the idea of ​​wanting to understand Chinese culture arose in her heart.

In her opinion, Chinese culture is so colorful and meaningful at the same time.

Thinking that when he has time, he must ask Zhang Li for some knowledge in this area.

Moreover, most Americans have a mysterious impression of China with a long history, and more and more people are interested in China's unique characteristics.

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

Goli believes that if she buys gifts from mysterious China when she gives others gifts in the future, and if she explains the meaning, it will definitely outshine everyone else’s gifts and stand out in the limelight.

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

"Don't mess with me, this gift is from Zhang Li, you have to kiss her."

After speaking, he avoided it and fled directly, leaving only the hearty laughter of Golly and Maggie behind him.

Goli couldn't put it down holding the gift, and tried to put it on the baby. There was a golden longevity lock around the neck, and a jade gourd given by Zhang Li on the wrist. Experience the surprise together.

At the same time, he was also secretly carrying the moral explained by Lisko just now, and planned to show off in front of Colt.

Zhang Li's gift is also very particular, the baby will take the ornaments on his body to bite and play with, and the Hetian jade is not easy to be damaged, and he is not afraid of being bitten by the baby.

And this gourd-style jade ornament is not big, so it won't make the baby feel heavy, and it will be a burden to him.

The surface is smooth without sharp edges and corners, so that it will not scratch the baby's delicate skin.

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

It took Zhang Li a lot of thought to choose this gift.

Lisko fled to the gate, mounted his own horse, and drove to his pasture.

Waiting until he could no longer see Colt's house, he wiped his cold sweat.

This Goli really opened up a lot after getting married, as tough as a female hooligan.

And he can make any jokes, and he seems to like to see himself embarrassed.

Lisko was still a refined person in his bones, so of course he couldn't stand Golly's jokes, so he ran away nervously.
