This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 17 Christmas

Time passed to December 2004, 12.

Christmas is approaching, and Christmas is like the Chinese New Year, the most important holiday for Americans.

After the last game in 2004, the Flint Hill Brown Scorpions have achieved a horrible record of 14 wins and 1 loss, which has created a record for the Flint Hill School in the championship. It is worth mentioning that However, the only match that Flint Hill lost was because Zhou Lin was arranged by Jim to recuperate from his injuries - the match against Orton after high school.

In these 15 games, Zhou Lin averaged 32.6 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

The Christmas holiday for American students will start from December 12nd to January 22th.

So the school is on holiday, the team has also entered a rest period, and the players also take advantage of this holiday to go back and reunite with their families.

This will be Zhou Lin's fourth Christmas in the United States, but it is not much different from previous years.

The same thing is that Zhou Lin inherited the memory of Zhou Lin before, and the nostalgia remains.

It is said that during the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot, even though Christmas is an American holiday, but seeing the lights of thousands of houses and the atmosphere of family reunion, Zhou Lin also began to miss home.

The difference is that he seems to have found some sense of belonging brought by basketball in the United States.

He sent Merry Christmas messages to every member of the team, thanking them for their Christmas presents.

The mobile phone thing is also thanks to the Christmas gift Misha gave herself in advance, this Nokia mobile phone.

The teammates responded fiercely and shared some interesting stories about them.

There was also a thin snowfall here in Washington, Wang Hanxiang went out to clear the snow as before, and wanted to build a snowman, but he found that there was too little snow and it melted too fast, so he finally shook his head and gave up.

Every year during the Christmas and New Year holidays, the business of Chinese restaurants is not very good.

"Boy, how are you going to spend Christmas?"

Wang Hanxiang asked Zhou Lin a question.

"It's not our Chinese holiday, so how to celebrate it, it's the same as usual."

Zhou Lin replied casually.

"Then live alone. I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of you. By the way, I'll save your salary for you. But for this kind of life, if you need money, tell me in advance."

Wang Hanxiang said.

"You mean, you have a date for Christmas?"

Wang Hanxiang said proudly: "Ms. Mary invited me to my sister's house in Colorado for Christmas, and I plan to teach them how to play mahjong. Well, I agreed to the air ticket in the afternoon. Xiaolin, it is said that there are snowflakes in that place. But it’s getting bigger, when the time comes, I’m going to build a big snowman and go skiing.”

"Old Wang, have you not been home for many years?"

Zhou Lin asked suddenly.

"Go home, do you mean China?"

Wang Hanxiang nodded and said, "I was only in my early thirties when I left China, and I'm almost fifty now. I don't know how many times I can go back in this lifetime."

Wang Hanxiang told Zhou Lin his own story.

At the end of the 80s and 90s, China was in the midst of a wave of going overseas, and the country began to encourage entrepreneurship, and Wang Hanxiang took over a restaurant that was transferred from the country to private ownership, and he really made money, but was later cheated by a woman, and Wang Hanxiang, who was heavily in debt, did not want to be involved My parents and sisters sold everything they had to pay off their debts. In order to reverse the situation, they came to the United States to join an uncle, but they never expected that when they came to the United States, they would be squeezed by their uncle as cheap labor. The uncle and nephew soon broke up. He worked illegally in the United States for several years before he obtained his legal status, and later he opened such a small restaurant. In the blink of an eye, a young man in his prime is almost half a century old.

His parents have also passed away, and his brothers and sisters have their own families. Does he have a wife or daughter?

What's more, he boasted at the time, if he didn't make money and become a rich man, he would never return to China.

According to him, what's the point of returning home?

Whenever at this time, Zhou Lin would smile and say: "Old Wang, I still can't stand my self-esteem. In this way, when the time comes, I will make money and sponsor you a large sum, and then you can take your foreign wife and go back home." You can also show off."

Wang Hanxiang arrived in Colorado on the evening of the 24th, and he will not return until at least the New Year.

Zhou Lin originally planned to spend the New Years Eve alone, but he didn't expect that a big pickup truck would stop in front of the hotel early in the morning of Christmas.

"Misha!"

Zhou Lin didn't expect Misha to appear here.

"Merry Christmas, Zhou."

Misha reached out and hugged Zhou Lin.

"Merry Christmas, why did you come back?"

Zhou Lin asked.

Misha's home is in a small town in Warren County, about two hours' drive from Fairfax County.

But now Misha should be at home, spending time with her family, and Misha also told Zhou Lin that his father, Jason, would also return to Warren County for Christmas.

"Just you? No one else?"

Misha looked around. She had been to the restaurant a few times, but it was never as empty as this.

"Uncle Wang went skiing in Colorado, and I was the only one."

"Well, then go home and spend Christmas with me, anyway, I'm here to pick you up."

"That's not good!"

"You have other arrangements, or someone else has asked you out."

Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "That's not true, but..."

"Go, my father and I talked about you again, but this time he wants to get to know you better." Misha said: "I have been secretly sending him videotapes of your games."

There is no news from the University of Maryland for the time being. Even though Zhou Lin's name has occasionally appeared in public newspapers or the Internet, Zhou Lin still hasn't won the attention of many teams.

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Do you know what it means to bring a friend of the opposite sex home for the festival in China?"

"what?"

Zhou Lin smiled: "Only husbands, wives, or boyfriends and girlfriends will be taken home for the New Year. I don't want to be treated as the imaginary enemy of your little lover by your father. You know, he misunderstood us last time."

"uh-huh."

Misha showed a thought-provoking look and said: "It seems that you don't think that we can develop anything beyond friendship, but it coincides with me, I just think you are a genius and should not be buried .”

"Then do I need to bring any gifts?" Zhou Lin asked.

"Bring a little gift, maybe you can cook some Chinese food yourself."

Misha said casually.

Zhou Lin brought some ingredients from the restaurant, but did not buy them on purpose.

When he was in a host family before, the family had not yet settled down, and he bought expensive electronic products for the landlord’s family, but after coming to the United States for these years, he found that American gifts are not so expensive, and many Americans even brought If you buy an egg, you can go to the neighbor's house for a meal.

With a bang, the big pickup galloped away under the control of Misha.

I really went to see my parents!
