Lisko’s American Life

Before preparing to come to China, Lisko also considered whether there would be many changes to withdraw money from different places, so he took a lot of US dollars and distributed them to everyone to help bring them in.

To say that he really doesn't have much Chinese coins, but there are still a few stacks in the US dollar bag.

After all, this is not the time when mobile payment is rampant, and it is still necessary to carry cash.

After counting carefully, I got two red envelopes, one from Xiaoyu and one from his sister.

"Okay, when you're done with your work, hurry up and wash up. We have to get up and say New Year's greetings to our elders, so let's rest early."

Zhang Li sat on the head of the bed, wiping his hair while telling Lisko.

"it is good,"

Lisko really felt that he was drunk, and he was sleepy for a long time. After hurriedly washing up, he fell on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

Early in the morning, woken up by the sound of crackling firecrackers, Lisko rubbed his eyes that had not yet adapted to the light. Sleepy eyes looked at Zhang Li next to him.

She is already dressed and is getting dressed.

I put on the New Year's clothes I bought in Beijing. The lining is all red, because this year is Zhang Li's natal year. According to the Chinese custom, it is necessary to wear red. This means that the natal year is prosperous and prosperous.

Lisko also has corresponding new clothes, brought from the United States, to ensure that it is a new style that has never been worn.

"Happy New Year."

Zhang Li was startled by the sound behind him, saw that he was awake, and said with a smile.

"Happy New Year."

Lisko sat up from the bed, leaned on the head of the bed, and returned to his senses.

"Get up, my parents have already called once."

When Li Ke heard the sound, he also packed up and prepared to get up. The speed of men and women is incomparable. Zhang Li seemed to need ten minutes, but he directly put on his clothes and put away the sundries in five minutes. OK, go straight out the door.

Zhang You at the door has already woken up, and is breaking incense in the main room, preparing to burn it to the gods who are in charge of the Spring Festival in accordance with the custom.

"Uncle, Happy New Year."

Lisko snorted.

"Hey, get up, go wash your face, your aunt just got hot water, it's just right."

Zhang You also showed a big smile. On the day of the Spring Festival, almost everyone is happy. No matter what is unhappy, they will not think about it on this day.

By the time Zhang Li came out, Li Ke had finished washing up, and Li Feng had also prepared the morning meal, which was dumplings cooked in chicken soup. Eating dumplings on the first day of the new year is the custom of all Chinese people, and this place in Guangxi is also No exception.

Dumplings mean good luck in the coming year, chicken soup means peace, and of course desserts, rice cakes, the reason why this hand-made rice cakes are eaten on the first day of the new year is for a better and sweeter life in the new year.

"Auntie and uncle, happy new year, I wish you good health and all the best."

Before eating, Li Ke, together with Zhang Li, expressed the blessings of the younger generation according to the custom.

"Hey, alright, alright, everyone, come and take the red envelopes, one per person."

Li Feng's mouth turned into a flower, and she took out the red envelope from the pocket of her new clothes.

Li Ke was just about to shirk a few words, but Zhang Li took it over with a smile and counted it.

If this action is in someone else's house, it must be impolite, but here, it's all a family, and no one is going to reprimand it.

He had no choice but to take it, thank him, and stuff it into his pocket.

"And mine, take it too."

Zhang You also took out two red envelopes, as thick as ever.

"Wow, Mom and Dad, you are so generous."

Zhang Li opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the stack of red banknotes in the red envelope. There were sixty-six of them. It was the first time he had received such a big red envelope since he was a child.

"The main reason is that you have someone to support you now. My mother and I have nowhere to spend the pension, so it's natural to be generous. If it was just you, of course you wouldn't give so much."

Zhang You smiled and said the reason. Indeed, during their time in the United States, they did not spend any money, and because Zhang Li had Lisko's secondary card, he no longer asked for his family's necessities, and his family was much more comfortable.

"I'd better take advantage of Scoo's light."

Zhang Libai glanced at him and said a little unhappily.

"It's good for you. If you want me to say it, hold it and don't talk, or we will regret it later."

Li Feng's eyes widened, and she immediately caught Zhang Li's pain point, but she was really afraid of being asked to go back by her parents, so she left as if escaping.

The dumplings cooked in chicken soup are really delicious, and the dumplings are still stuffed with beef, which is not very tasty, but the rice cakes are not so delicious. Li Scott intends to eat the rice cakes after the dumplings are eaten.

"Sko, do you want to have a little more?"

Seeing that his bowl was empty, Li Feng spoke quickly.

"No no no, I'm full and can't eat."

Li Ke quickly stood up. Yesterday, Zhang Li told him about basic things. In addition to his own memory, he also had a basic understanding of the customs of the Chinese New Year. On the first day of the new year, it is not allowed to have leftovers. , which means bad.

If you have another bowl, you can't eat it yourself, the teacher or the leftovers, it will not look so good.

When the whole family finished eating, the door of the yard was also knocked on. It was Zhang Kui's family who came to pay their respects to their brother. As a young man, he naturally came to the door.

"Brother, sister-in-law, happy new year."

Zhang Kui held his fist.

"Happy New Year, come here, Xiaoyu, the red envelope is here."

When Xiaoyu and his sister heard the red envelope, they immediately walked forward and received the red envelope from the uncle and aunt. Li Ke and Zhang Li also handed over the red envelope they had prepared.

"Wow, it's money I don't know."

Xiaoyu opened it and looked at ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and immediately shouted in surprise. The red envelope contained unrecognized banknotes, and there were obvious 100 words on it. As a college student, after a little conversion, he knew that his red envelope probably There are four or five thousand dollars.

"Thank you brother-in-law."

The two brothers and sisters were overjoyed. It was indeed a surprise to receive a red envelope in US dollars, and it must be the only one to show off to the familiar friends in the village later.

"Haha, go to school well."

Li Ke patted Xiaoyu's head. The past few days of getting along with him made him like Xiaoyu's younger brother very much. He had no siblings in two lives and suddenly had a younger brother than himself. This is a very novel experience.

I can't help but love each other a little more, my sister is the same, but every time I talk, I always blush. I've been worried that he will pass out like Hinata in the comics.

It can only be considered that the two sides are not familiar with each other, so this is the case. After more contact, it will definitely improve.

The two also received red envelopes from Zhang Kui and their aunt, each containing 1888, which is considered a big deal.
