Lisko’s American Life

Li Feng went to the kitchen and began to prepare some food for the two of them with a happy mood. The rice noodles bought from China were not finished yet, and the rice noodles were cooked with big bone broth.

At the same time, a few pieces of sauced meat were placed on top of the steaming rice noodles, and there were shallots and coriander on the side, which looked very beautiful.

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

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

"Wow, Mom, I love you."

Seeing that there were still big bones in his bowl, Zhang Li immediately exclaimed happily. The big bones with bone marrow still had a little meat left on them, sticking to the bones, and the fragrance filled the air. 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 bone, coupled with the taste of being boiled for a long time, it is really delicious.

Li Ke and Zhang Li had to burp when they wolfed down the rice noodles in the bowl. It seemed that they had to eat some for lunch at noon, otherwise their stomachs would not be able to hold it.

And Zhang You here is busy in the bedroom. He has returned to his room since he entered the castle, and seems to be preparing for something.

After finishing all my work, I packed it properly, stuffed it into my pocket, patted it with satisfaction, and felt the weight of the thing.

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

"Sco, come here, I have something for you."

Zhang You first exchanged glances with Li Feng, nodded inaudibly, and signaled that his business was done, and then called Li Sko.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

After the first yell, Lisko became a lot more casual, and he was not so embarrassed when he yelled. He watched Zhang You's movements and walked over in a daze.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Li didn't understand what it meant, and looked puzzled at the interaction between his father and Lisko.

"It has nothing to do with you, are you full?"

Li Feng's tone was still very strict, he said something to Zhang Li, and then asked, seeing the other party covering his stomach with satisfaction, he stood up and cleaned up the two people's dishes.

"Here, you take it."

Zhang You handed something over, and before Lisko saw it clearly, he stuffed it into his pocket. Lisko felt his body was heavy, so he took it out to have a look with a puzzled expression.

This is a red envelope, the style is the most popular style in Huaguo, but it is a little different from the red envelopes for the Chinese New Year. Other red envelopes are filled with the words "Happy New Year" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

And this red envelope said "Hundred Years of Love", it should be prepared in advance, after all, this thing is not easy to buy in the United States, even if there is, it is printed in English because of the United States.

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

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

Since we want to participate in this festival, it is inevitable to have an in-depth understanding of various customs, so many Americans have followed suit in the custom of red envelopes and couplet paintings.

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

"Dad, what is this for?"

Although Li Ke knew about these things, he still didn't understand Zhang You giving him a red envelope. Now it's not a festival, and besides, he also accepted the other party's red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at the movements of the two, Zhang Li was observing his father's expression, but he understood something, and looked at Lisko with a smile on his face.

"This is our custom that day. Since you changed your mind, you will have to pay for it. I also know that you are not short of money, but this is a little bit of our heart, which represents our approval of you, so it cannot be declined. "

When Zhang You said this, his face was full of joy. They had prepared the red envelope before departure, and kept it under the bed. There was no chance to take it out. He didn't change his words, and took them all out to Lisko.

After all, the other party is a foreigner, and the two elders can't let others blindly cater to the customs of their own country.

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

Li Ke really never thought that there would be such a harvest today. He looked at the red envelope in his hand, it was heavy inside, and felt that the thickness was about 10,000.

Of course, the denomination is RMB. If it is US dollars, wouldn't it be draining the old couple's wallets.

It was really the first time in my life that I received this kind of red envelope. After all, I was married for the first time in my previous and present lives, so I naturally had no relevant experience.

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

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

Li Ke looked at Zhang Li with some embarrassment, wondering if he should take this money, after all, although this amount of money was nothing to him, it was still a big expense for the old couple.

"Take it, we'll be more filial and filial in the future."

After receiving the documents in the morning, Zhang Li also naturally assumed the identity of his wife, and reminded Lisko.

Although it was her first time, she still knew the surrounding customs. The customs in Huaguo were like this. The son-in-law had to change his mouth for the first time, and there was a fee for changing his mouth.

"Fine."

Li Ke thought for a while and put the red package in his pocket. Although he took the money himself, he still couldn't let the old couple suffer. Later, he asked Zhang Li to give some of his family to Li Feng every now and then, so he got it back.

After all, what Zhang You said just now is that there is no excuse. If he continues to babble, as if he looks down on this little money, it will definitely hurt the other party's heart.

"Then I'll take it, thank you Dad."

Seeing Lisko put the red package into his pocket, Zhang You was satisfied. He nodded, and now he heard the other party calling Dad, and it felt more pleasing to the ear.
