Lisko’s American Life

With permission, Goli opened the brocade box, and what caught her eye was a touch of golden yellow.

Inside is a longevity lock in the shape of a bull's head, with the words "longevity and hundred years of life" written in Chinese on the back.

"This is a gift with Chinese characteristics. This year is 2009. According to Chinese research, it is the year of the ox, so it was made in the shape of a ox's head to bless him as healthy as a calf. It's not that I want him to live to be 100 years old, it's to bless him to grow up quickly and be happy and safe in his life."

Lisko guessed that Gori also 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 a longevity lock, which can lock life."

Moreover, the items were selected by Li Scott from Chinatown. The whole thing is made of gold. It is also a lot of wealth, so that when the baby encounters difficulties in the future, he can be emergency.

To be honest, Lisko was particularly tangled when choosing gifts, and he didn't know what to give.

In the United States, no matter the big or small festival, you have to give your friends a gift, and people here especially like this custom of giving gifts to each other.

In recent years, Lisko has been most troubled by this matter. Every time he gives a gift to a person, he can't repeat it, otherwise he will appear to be very perfunctory, and the gift must be ingenious, which really took a lot of his brains.

Later, he summed up his experience. Every time he gave gifts, he would go shopping in Chinatown and give some gifts with Chinese customs. These foreigners especially like this kind of mysterious things that they have never seen before.

And everyone knows that Lisko's ancestors are Chinese, and he is also very fascinated by Chinese culture. Now he has found a Chinese girlfriend, and it doesn't seem like giving these gifts.

For example, the rooster, Lisko's gifts he received in recent years, cover masks, fans, ink paintings, bamboo boards, flutes, meteorites, and clay sculptures.

And Colt is even simpler, something like a Chinese translation of the Art of War can be used for rugby formation training.

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

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

After listening to Lisko's explanation, Goli was really moved. As a new mother, all the things that are beneficial to the baby can make her look at it differently, and this gift is very ingenious. It also has such a good meaning.

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

And Maggie looked at the two with a smile.

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

As good friends who have grown up together since childhood, Lisko, Colt and Golly are all very good friends, and these actions will not cause misunderstandings.

"By the way, and this is from Zhang Li. You know, she has been very busy with her classes recently, so she can only entrust me to bring it with me, and 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, Ge Li specially invited Zhang Li at her bachelor party, and Zhang Li also gave her peaches and plums, and prepared gifts for the other party according to custom.

After Zhang Li arranged the gift, Lisko went to buy it. Of course, Zhang Li paid the money herself, which represented her feelings for Ge Li.

Goli opened it again, and there was a jade ornament made of Hetian jade. It was in the shape of a gourd. It was not big, only the size of a little finger, but it was not cheap, probably costing thousands of dollars.

Moreover, the shopkeeper patted his chest and assured that this is the real Hetian jade, and the jade shop is also an old brand, and will not do shoddy behavior.

"This thing is called a gourd in China, which is homophonic with Fulu, which means I hope he will live a happy life and make a difference in the future."

Lisko was afraid that a foreigner like Goli wouldn't 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 also arose in her heart.

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

Thinking about it, when I have time, I must ask Zhang Li about this knowledge.

And most Americans have a mysterious impression of China, and it has a long history, and more and more people are interested in China's unique features.

In duty-free shops in China's airports, the best-selling items are definitely fans, Chinese knots, brushes, and porcelain. Many Americans who have been to China will buy some as a surprise for their friends at Christmas.

Goli believes that if she buys gifts from mysterious China in the future when she gives gifts to others, and explains the meaning, she will definitely stand out compared to everyone's gifts.

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

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

After speaking, he couldn't avoid it and ran away directly, leaving behind only the hearty laughter of Gorrie and Maggie.

Goli couldn't put it down with the gift, and tried to put it on the baby, with a golden longevity lock on her neck and a jade gourd from Zhang Li on her wrist, and then happily hugged the baby and took pictures~www.readwn.com~ and passed it on to Ke Erte, let him experience this surprise with himself.

At the same time, he was secretly carrying the meaning that Lisko explained just now, intending to show it off in front of Colt.

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

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

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

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

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

Lisko fled to the door, mounted his horse, and hurried to his ranch.

When he couldn't see Colt's house, he wiped his cold sweat.

This Goli really opened up a lot after she got married, and she was sturdy like a hooligan.

Moreover, he can make any jokes, and he seems to like seeing himself embarrassed.

Lisko was still a refined person at heart, and of course he couldn't stand Gori's jokes, so he fled very nervously.
