NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

011. Lin Lei's eighteenth birthday (1000 flowers plus more, thank you for your support!)

"Mom, I'm back!"

Following Lin Lei's call, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron soon walked out of the kitchen.

She is Li Yangqing, Lin Lei's longing mother.

Although Li Yangqing is over forty years old, there is still a sense of agility in his eyebrows.

It can be seen that she was also a beautiful woman back then, but she was still left with traces of the vicissitudes of life.

Seeing that his son finally came back, Li Yangqing's tired face also showed a bright smile:

"Why did you come back so late, I heard that the finals were not over long ago?

Hungry, I specially prepared a cake, I wish you a happy birthday! "

While talking, Li Yangqing returned to the kitchen and carefully brought out a cake with 18 candles on it.

Looking at the cake brought by her mother, Lin Lei's heart was also full of warmth.

This big boy who was still strong and calm in the face of Kobe and those street villains, his eyes were a little wet unconsciously at this moment.

It turns out that today is Lin Lei's 18th birthday.

Lin Lei's life in the United States is not ideal. He spent all his life in China from birth to junior high school, where is his complete youth and childhood.

Dad and Mom ran a breakfast shop together and his life was not bad, everything changed a few years ago.

Lin Lei's father suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. There is almost no treatment for this disease in China, and he can only wait for death.

When there was no other way, Li Yangqing learned from his brother who opened a restaurant in the United States that some institutions in the United States have special drugs that are still in the development stage.

Knowing this news, she resolutely decided to sell all her family property and also save her husband, so the family came to the United States across the ocean like this.

But human beings are still weak in the face of diseases, especially the treatment methods that have not been put into clinical practice cannot be reimbursed, and the price is still very expensive.

It didn't take long for the savings of these years to be completely empty, and Lin Lei's father finally passed away.

What followed was not only the pain of separation of loved ones, but also a series of expenses that made the family even worse.

Not counting the lenders, the uncle alone owes $200,000.

Even so, Li Yangqing did not fall because of this.

She knew that her son Lin Lei had not yet grown up, and she was the only hope for the family.

So he stayed to work to pay off his debts, and used his meager income to support Lin Lei to go to school.

Although the vision is good, it is not easy for Chinese to study abroad.

Just one year's study abroad fee requires a year's income for a middle-class family, not to mention a heavily indebted family like Lin Lei.

In order to make Lin Lei go to school, Li Yangqing began to increase the workload, and she was responsible for all the dishes of the entire Chinatown restaurant.

This is also due to the high labor costs in the United States, so Li Yangqing's income has finally begun to grow.

However, the daily workload has reached an astonishing 18 hours.

For her mother's hard work, Lin Lei saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

After some weighing, he resolutely decided to give up his studies and work with his mother to pay off the debt.

Li Yangqing didn't agree with his son's decision at first, but he couldn't stand Lin Lei's insistence.

In the end, I had to reluctantly agree, and decided to pay off the debt and return to China to study again with my son.

So Lin Lei delivered meals all over the city during the day, and at night washed dishes with her mother to help her share the work.

It was finally Lin Lei's 18th birthday, and Li Yangqing felt that he wanted to give his son a coming-of-age gift.

Only then did he save money, buy him a ticket to the NBA Finals, and fulfill Lin Lei's dream of coming to Los Angeles for several years - to watch an NBA game with his own eyes.

Li Yangqing never thought that it was this decision that completely changed the fate of their mother and son.

Although the cake is small, it is full of mother's love. This is the sweetest cake Lin Lei has ever eaten.

"Son, go back to your uncle's house to sleep first. I have to deliver food tomorrow morning. I'll finish the dishes here soon."

After eating the cake, it was almost dawn, Li Yangqing felt sorry for Lin Lei, and planned to let her son go home to rest first.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lei heard the words, but shook his head with a smile: "Mom, from today onwards, we don't have to work so hard anymore."

"What's the matter? Silly child, mother knows you feel bad for me.

But if you don't finish brushing these dishes, it will be useless for the boss to open tomorrow at dawn! "

"You still don't understand, I mean, just leave the debt to me!"

Having said that, Lin Lei's expression was full of confident smiles.

"Humph~"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a cold snort suddenly came from the restaurant.

A middle-aged woman walked in, first glanced at the kitchen's plate, then came to Lin Lei and Li Yangqing, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"It's a big talk, if you really have money, pay back the ticket money first!

Really, obviously owes a lot of debt, and let my son watch the finals, isn't this pretending to be a big tail wolf? "

That's right, this middle-aged woman with a bad face is the proprietress of this Chinese restaurant!
