February 9th, early morning.

Early in the morning, Luke received a New Year greeting message and a phone call. The first person surprised him, Chen Kelin from the Second Squadron.

However, looking back, it’s normal. Lao Chen is also Chinese, so he must also celebrate the Spring Festival.

In the morning, Luke received New Year's greetings from some friends one after another, which moved Luke a little. You must know that most of these friends did not celebrate the Spring Festival, and they may not even know about this festival before. They may be based on Luke's friend

I just got to know the Spring Festival.

"Jingle Bell……"

Luke's cell phone rang, he picked it up and saw it was Lilith Finn's number.

"Hi, I'm Luke."

"Happy New Year!" Lilith greeted in somewhat unfamiliar Chinese.

Luke smiled, "Happy New Year! Are you in Los Angeles?"

"No, I'm in New York. Have you come to New York?"

"How did you know I was in New York?"

"The last time I had a drink, someone told me that he would go to New York to celebrate the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, he forgot about it."

Luke smiled and said, "I remembered, I said, you seemed to have said that you would prepare a Spring Festival gift for me, right?"

Lilith hummed, "Since you have forgotten it, the gift is gone."

"To express my apology, how about I treat you to dinner?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to spend time with your family during the Spring Festival?"

"Does this show my sincerity?"

"OK, I'll give you this chance, see you tomorrow." After Lilith finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Luke was a little dumbfounded. Lilith hung up too quickly and didn't give him a chance to react. Tomorrow is the second day of junior high school, and Luke wasn't sure if he had time.

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.

Luke and his son went to bed late last night and woke up late today. After packing up, it was already past ten in the morning, and then they drove to Grandpa Luke's house.

Today is the Spring Festival.

After the family members meet, they greet each other and wish each other a happy new year.

The lunch meal is simpler, but equally hearty.

Steamed bowls and dumplings.

There are a variety of steaming bowls, both meat and vegetable, with more than a dozen types.

Dumplings also come in two kinds of fillings, three fresh stuffings and beef and green onion fillings.

This meal may not be a big deal in China, but it is definitely considered high-end in New York.

Luke had eaten at many restaurants in Los Angeles, but he had never tasted such an authentic steamed bowl. He was too full after this meal.

After lunch, the old man felt a little tired and sleepy, so he went back to the bedroom to rest.

However, the old lady was still energetic and encouraged everyone to play mahjong.

This can also be regarded as a must-have entertainment item during the holidays.

Soon, the mahjong table was set up, and Luke also played a few games. He was very lucky, and he played two casinos in a row.

On the other hand, the little fat guy didn't mess around at all and clamored to change positions again.

Luke simply stopped playing and gave up his seat to him. Not to mention that the little fat guy changed into Luke's seat, and he did something wrong the first time.

Sometimes it's really so evil.

Luke yawned and lay half-lying on the sofa to rest. It was quite interesting to watch his family playing mahjong not far away.

Will came over with two bottles of beer and handed one to Luke, "Brother, how long will you stay here this time?"

"I took a day off and stayed here in New York for five days." Luke took a sip of beer and asked, "By the way, when will my aunt's family come?"

"In previous years, I would come in the second grade of junior high school, but this year... I guess I won't be able to come."

"Why?"

"Before, my aunt also said that she would come in the second grade of junior high school. Later, Julia said that the university courses were tight and she would not come back to celebrate the New Year this year. So my aunt and uncle went to the city where Julia went to school to spend the New Year with her."

The university courses are tight, what a rip-off.

Luke looked at Will and asked, "Did Julia break up with that black man?"

"Who knows, this is a taboo topic now." Will showed an expression that you know.

Luke nodded. Since his aunt's family won't be coming tomorrow, he can keep the appointment.

"I heard from my aunt that you participated in bounty hunter training?"

"I originally wanted to tell you in person." Will shrugged, "Did they ask you to persuade me to change my career?"

Luke smiled, "Why do you want to be a bounty hunter?"

"I have a friend whose father is a bounty hunter, so he inherited his father's legacy and participated in bounty hunter training. He asked me if I wanted to go with him?

I went online to learn about bounty hunting and found that this industry is quite challenging and can add some practical experience, so I signed up and my friend even helped me get a discounted price."

Luke said, "So, you are participating in the bounty hunter training just out of interest, and you have not yet fully decided to join this industry."

"Uh... I don't know what to say either.

You should know that Chinese people are a disadvantaged group in the United States, and people feel that they are easy to bully. I have had a similar experience.

Therefore, I hope that I can become stronger, more confident, and be able to face other races calmly.

Whether I am a police officer or a bounty hunter, I will receive training in firearms and fighting skills, which will make me feel more powerful and confident in living on this land.

I really want to be a bounty hunter, firstly to make money, and secondly, I think this experience will make me stronger and able to protect my family like a real man.

??????????.??????

Instead of being bullied by gangs like before and not even having the ability to resist."

Luke patted him on the shoulder, "I don't know much about the bounty hunting industry, and I don't know whether I should advise you to leave this industry.

But uncle and aunt are very worried about your safety."

"I know, I will protect myself."

"It's good that you have your own ideas. If you need any help, you can contact me."

"thanks, I will."

"cheers!"

Luke picked up the beer bottle and clinked a drink with the other party.

night.

After dinner, Luke's family of three drove away.

While driving, Li Zhaofeng asked his two sons, "Did you have fun today?"

The little fat man smiled and said, "Of course, happy times always pass quickly, but the only regret is that there are no fireworks this year."

Li Zhaofeng said, “Last year, a friend of mine set off cannons in the yard, and the neighbors in the community thought someone was shooting, so they called 911.

After the police arrived, they questioned my friend and left a deep impression on him.

So, we didn’t buy firecrackers this year.”

The little fat man shrugged, expressing his understanding.

Li Zhaofeng asked, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Before Luke could speak, the little fat man said, "Will asked me to go out to play tomorrow."

"That's good. You young people should have more contact." Li Zhaofeng nodded and looked at Luke aside, "Are you going too?"

Luke said, "No, my friends in New York knew I was coming and wanted to treat me to dinner."

"OK, then you go out to play. Remember to come back for dinner in the evening. I will prepare delicious food for you."

The little fat man asked, "Still fried noodles?"

Li Zhaofeng smiled and said, "I also learned a new dish. Believe me, it will be delicious."

…

The next morning.

Luke was having breakfast when he received a call from Lilith, saying that she would send a car to pick up Luke shortly.

Luke is not very familiar with New York, so it is always good to have a car to pick him up.

At about 9 a.m., a pink Rolls-Royce parked outside Li Zhaofeng's house.

As soon as Luke opened the door, he saw this flashy luxury car. It was difficult to keep a low profile when driving this kind of car on the road.
