Lily, how long have you been here?
I came to China in June, so it has been 7 months.
Wow, that's a long time. But you haven't spent Spring Festival in China yet, right?
That's right, but I am going to stay in China this year to see how Chinese people spend their most important festival. In fact, I'm doing a business research about Spring Festival for my company.
Really? Maybe you can come to spend it with my family.
Can I?
My parents would be happy to have you. You will love it. Though we live downtown, we always spend Spring Festival in our hometown.
You mean in the countryside?
Yes, I believe you will learn a lot about Chinese culture this winter holiday. We will have a big family meal and eat things like fish and dumplings, and we give children lucky money in red envelopes.
That sounds interesting. I can't wait!
