Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 498: New Year's Chinatown

The next step is to go to the village where he is familiar with relatives to pay New Year's greetings. Li Ke is the person who receives the most attention. He speaks familiar Mandarin, which makes everyone more accepting of him, and they all admire Zhang Li's vision. .

United States, Colorado, Denver.

The construction team also got up early today. They got together with Wen Liang's family yesterday and had a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner.

The chef is Wen's wife. Her good dishes have been praised by everyone, and Wenliang's son is also very excited. This is the first time he has spent the New Year with so many uncles and uncles, and it feels extraordinarily lively.

Early in the morning, Wen Liang packed up all the things and waited for everyone to come to the door. Although it was in the United States, the etiquette that should be avoided was indispensable. Being simple does not mean not doing it. Mother Wen is the elder of everyone. The thoughts of her parents are pinned on her.

"Brother, here we are. Happy New Year."

Xiao Er took the lead, brought all the employees from China, clasped fists with both hands, and blessed Wen Liang.

The sound was loud and tidy, which startled the white family next to him. Originally, he was still watering the flowers in the yard, but immediately pretended not to see anything, and quietly returned to his room, locking the doors and windows.

"Darling?"

The wife was extremely puzzled and did not know what happened to her husband.

"Be quiet, do you know? The Asian next to us is the boss of the gang. I saw a lot of adult men just now, who came to say hello to him, and avoid conflicts with them in the future."

The man warned his wife carefully, then quietly opened the window a little, signaling his wife to look out.

Before Xiao Er and everyone else entered the house, the twenty or thirty yellow-skinned strong men in the yard really frightened his wife.

"Should we call the police?"

The wife said worriedly.

"No, we will receive revenge."

The man immediately dismissed the idea.

I have to say that this was a beautiful misunderstanding. In the following days, every time Wen's wife and Wen's mother saw their neighbors in the yard, the other party would smile very flatteringly. Although they did not understand the language, they could still feel each other. is afraid of himself.

This made Wenliang's family puzzled.

"Okay, I've cooked the dumplings, let's eat some, and then I'll take you to Chinatown, which is very lively today."

Wen Liang greeted everyone with a smile and walked into the house.

Although there were a lot of people, the warm living room was full, but the family didn't have any impatience. In this foreign country, it was very pleasant to have familiar people to gather together.

Wen's wife has been cooking dumplings since she woke up in the morning. Wen's mother helped in the house. It is not easy to prepare meals for thirty people.

Wen Liang brought the melon seed candy and chatted with everyone, while his son was sitting on the shoulders of Xiao Er, attracted by the higher vision, and was very happy.

"Auntie, happy new year."

Mother Wen walked out with the cooked part, and Xiao Er got up immediately and bowed respectfully with everyone. Respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.

"Okay, okay, everyone, I wish you all a fortune, come, red envelopes, Xiao Er help me send it."

Mother Wen was very happy, as if she had more than 30 sons, she took out the prepared red envelopes from her pocket and wrapped them up last night, one for each person.

"Auntie, if you can't do it, keep your money and spend it yourself."

Xiao Er immediately shied away, how could he charge a retiree's money, and there were so many people present, everyone had it, this was a lot of money.

"Hey, listen to Auntie, everyone is in the United States, don't forget the customs, your parents are in your hometown, I will give you red envelopes on their behalf, I wish you a lot of money, good luck and fortune, save enough money early, Reunited with family."

I really can't get rid of it, so Xiao Er can only accept it and distribute it to everyone. After wrapping the red package, some people have tears in their eyes. During this gathering, they obviously remembered their hometown. family.

"The dumplings are still being cooked. You eat them first, and the ones at the back will come up soon. You want to eat dumplings in the New Year. If you don't go home for the New Year, you can come to auntie's place to eat dumplings anytime.

Mother Wen said happily. Handed the dumplings in his hand to Wen Liang.

"Auntie is going to live a hundred years, and it must always be there."

Xiao Er immediately answered, making everyone laugh.

"A clever ghost, it's not good to live too long, you've enjoyed everything, let it be, if you live to be a hundred years old, you'll become a fairy."

Mother Wen tapped Xiao Er's forehead with her finger.

Wen's wife has been busy with dumplings, and they have guaranteed one bowl per person. These were made yesterday and prepared for everyone.

After eating, I was ready to go to Chinatown. It was very lively there today. After Chinatown entered the United States, it also affected many people.

We all know that this day is a major festival in China, so many Americans bring their families to participate in such a grand gathering, what a lion dance, and the smell of red everywhere.

Float parades, firecrackers, snacks, and many schools will arrange for students to participate in social practice on this day. The whole street is very lively, and it has become a carnival for everyone.

There is also a stage, where the Peking Opera, face changing, and the performance of classical musical instruments have allowed many Americans to deepen their understanding and nurturing of China.

The group drove ten cars, and they were blocked before they reached Chinatown. They had to park the car nearby and then walk into the street.

"Wow."

Wen Liang put his son on his shoulders and looked at the lanterns in the distance. Wen Jie, who saw this scene for the first time, was also shocked.

"Dad~www.wuxiamtl.com~ has a lion dance."

Feeling the excited son on his shoulders, Wen Liang's face also showed a smile, Wen's wife was beside him, looking at everything curiously, while the little Er supported Wen's mother and walked step by step.

There are all kinds of traditional Chinese snacks on the street, including Teppanyaki, Hong Kong-style desserts, and the characteristics of almost every province and city can be found here. Wen Liang skillfully walked to a Guangxi food stall and communicated with each other in dialect. .

"Fellow, happy new year."

The stall owner, a man in his fifties, heard Wen Liang's greeting and replied with a smile.

"Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, come, have something to eat, people in Guangxi don't want money today."

"That won't work."

Wen Liang hurriedly shied away, then ordered some fried rice candy and glutinous rice cakes, put the money on the stall and ran away as if to leave.

Everyone took snacks in their hands more or less, and walked and walked around. There were familiar blessings of "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy New Year", and many Americans also followed the customs of the country. in Chinese to bless each other.
