Lisko’s American Life

"Wow~ This is very pretty. I see many middle-aged Chinese women will wear this." Mary took it, a little bit fond of it.

Lisko wiped some lubricant on his hands, and carefully helped her put it on, while explaining to her.

"This bracelet pays attention to round and thick strips, solemn and upright. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly ladies to wear. The bracelet is round and full. The outer circle, inner circle and ring circle can be described as three circles in one, which symbolizes a perfect career and life. Wearing it on On the wrist, it can show the gentle temperament of women, and it can also keep you safe."

"Is that so? Then I will definitely take it with me. This is the amulet that Sko gave me!" Mary raised her hand, seeing the effect of wearing it, and scratched Lisko's nose happily.

Bermer snorted nonchalantly, took out the newspaper next to him and started to visit absent-mindedly, turning his eyes to express his envy from time to time.

Mary and Lisko looked at each other helplessly and smiled.

As this person got older, his personality became more and more like a child.

"Teacher, there is also your gift. This is a jade pendant I chose. It was only worn by people with status in ancient China. The e-shaped pattern on this jade pendant is a bamboo. In ancient China, bamboo represented a person of literature. The ethos and integrity of bamboo, the symbol of bamboo's perseverance is also the code of conduct for literati to deal with people, "

Li Ke took out a white and moist jade pendant and handed it to Bermaner Guanxiang, while explaining to him,

"Ancient Chinese literati have loved admiring jade since ancient times, not only because of the preciousness of jade, but also because of the character of jade. The brilliance of jade is on the inside rather than on the outside. The graceful and self-possessed look, the open-minded and unrestrained demeanor, does not show the edge , without publicity, without great sorrow and joy, without paranoia and agitation, which symbolizes the state of life here presenting a mature and mellow."

Bermer suddenly came into contact with these unknown knowledge, and also showed a lot of interest. After Lisko asked how to wear it, he happily hung it on his waist. With a straight body, he kept changing positions in the mirror. It can be seen that the jade pendant is still very popular with him, not to mention it contains so many truths, which is even more in his heart.

Both of these items were bought by Lisko during his trip to China last time. They were authentic items bought in regular big-brand jade stores. Although they are not antiques, they are modern works of art. It cost Lisko a lot of money, but seeing Mary and Bermer like it so much, it was worth the money.

Lisko gave some small items that he carried with him, such as some small accessories made of inferior jade, and special fans, to everyone in the castle, and everyone liked it very much.

When Lisko was traveling, he specially purchased a lot of these things as small gifts for friends and visitors on weekdays. The special things of the mysterious ancient oriental country are still very easy to get, and they are very popular with everyone, so Lisko has always been a headache. The gift giving problem is solved.

In the United States, it is a very good custom for friends and relatives to give gifts to each other. Everyone will give something that is not necessarily of high value to show closeness. If you are a guest for a meal, you will give a bottle of wine or a home-made dish.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Lisko had a meal at the castle. Dinner was steak, fried chicken breast and a dish of salmon, fried chicken with mashed potatoes, and finally a clam chowder.

Mary's craftsmanship is still so good. Although there are cooks in the castle, Mary still likes to cook occasionally. She also likes to delve into delicious food when she is free. During the dinner, there is sometimes talk about Mary's delicious dishes.

Lisko served some clam chowder. He thought he would not be used to this taste, but he didn't expect the taste to be very good. It not only tasted of seafood, but also tasted of butter.

Grilled salmon is a traditional Native American dish cooked over an open fire over a cedar plank, infused with the smoky flavor of the wood.

Lisko cut a piece and tasted it, squeezed some lemons on it, with the aroma of lemons, and chose the fatty fish belly part on the fish belly, which tasted smooth but not woody, and had a special fragrance of spices and herbs.

"Okay," Bermer knocked on the wall of the cup, everyone stopped eating, looked at him, and waited for his words.

"Let's raise our glasses." Everyone followed his movements and raised their glasses together.

"Welcome home to Scott," he said after a moment of silence.

"Welcome home Scott."

"welcome....."

When the teacher said something that was not in line with his usual words, Lisko looked at all the people gesturing towards him, the cook, the gardener, the doorman, the maid, and Mary, his eyes were uncontrollably red, and he drank the cup with everyone. red wine.

After dinner, Lisko followed his instructor to the library.

The library was just a study room at the beginning. For Bermaner's work and research, materials and books were continuously added, and more and more books were added later, from the original one room to the two and three rooms behind.

When the castle was being built later, he deliberately reserved a large part of the space to build this library. Friends and colleagues all knew that he was collecting books, and they would buy a copy of any books they hadn’t seen before and give them back to him.

By the time Lisko was in school, the library had covered millions of books of various types, and the bookshelves were added and added, only you can't think of it, there is no such thing as this library, and Bermer specially gave this library Staffed by three maintenance staff, the library is also well known in American literary circles.

The library also collects a lot of rare copies of rare documents, which are usually bought at big auctions, which cost a lot of Bermaner's money and time.

Strolling in the majestic bookshelves, Lisko smelled the fragrance of books, and his soul was really shocked. From here, we can really see every step of human civilization development, ancient murals with rubbings, and the ancient history of the beginning of civilization. Text and pictures, records of every step of development, anyone who stands here will feel his own insignificance.

"Sco, I have included several of your books in the library." Bermer looked at his students standing obsessively in the sea of ​​books, and reminded him.

There are very few contemporary literary works collected in this library. His inclusion of three books by Lisko is the greatest recognition and praise for Lisko.

Lisko followed his instructor and walked slowly to the last bookshelf, on which a category was written by hand, and "Lisko's Works Collection" was written in strong handwriting

Lisko was really shocked when he saw it.

"I think you will become a great writer of a generation, so I specially made a bookshelf for a special person. Every book will be included here, and every step you take on the road to literature will be recorded here." Berman patted His shoulder, said with emotion.
