Lakers fans can finally rest easy.In yesterday's game against the Warriors, Kobe accidentally injured his right knee and had to leave the game midway.But later, according to the inspection, it was found that his injury was not serious and he would not miss the following games.

"I'm okay. I feel much better today, and I'm in a good mood." The next day Chu Xiao immediately asked about Kobe's injury. The latter said that he had received an X-ray examination, and his injury would not affect the future. Even got in the mood to joke, "It's not going to make me miss Christmas."

If you ask Americans what holiday they look forward to the most, it must be Christmas.

Although Christmas is not a unique festival in the United States, it is only one of the traditional western festivals, but Americans attach great importance to this day. After Thanksgiving, they start to be very busy for Christmas, so they call it the most important, largest and most important festival in the United States. The liveliest festival is no exaggeration.

The custom of Christmas comes from the legend in the Bible. It is said that Jesus was born on this night. The celebrations will start on the night of December 12 and reach a climax at midnight, so this night is also called Christmas Eve. .Americans will gather the whole family to have a sumptuous dinner, and then sit around the fireplace to enjoy family happiness, and some people will gather in bars and clubs to celebrate joyously, while those devout believers are in brightly lit churches Participate in the service commemorating the birth of Jesus... In short, they will celebrate all night long, just like the Chinese welcome the Spring Festival on the night of New Year's Eve.

On December 2012, 12, Chu Xiao will spend the first pure Christmas Eve in his life in the United States. On this day, it is usually a day for family gatherings, and the league does not arrange games. During the "New Year" at home, even Dai Daier, who didn't go home for more than 24 days a year, went home. Chu Xiao originally wanted to agree to Kobe's invitation to spend Christmas Eve at his house, but Tracy declined: "I Remember to tell you, my parents want to see you."

"My God, am I going to meet my father-in-law?" Chu Xiao became nervous instantly.

"Look at how scared you are, it's just a quick get-together during the holidays." Tracy couldn't help laughing.

"But I'm not ready yet." In fact, Chu Xiao resisted in his heart and didn't want to go, because he didn't know how to deal with these American parents, but he seemed to have to, because Tracy said, "I've already talked to They said, they will take you home for dinner tonight."

"Ah~" Chu Xiao was helpless and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check online for the first time he met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, asking Tracy, "What do your parents like? Do you smoke? Do you drink? I Does your mother-in-law like to go shopping for beauty treatment?..."

"Oh, they don't lack anything, as long as you go." Tracy couldn't understand why he had to bring gifts, and said that he couldn't empty-handed things, but under Chu Xiao's insistence, they still brought a few gifts. Bao asked for Chinese tea from Han Shuai.

Trish's father was a university professor and her mother was a doctor, and their home was at UCLA on Sunset Boulevard at the foot of Beverly Hills.

Chu Xiao and the others set off from their residence in the afternoon and drove to Sunset Avenue. He was very familiar with this road, so he soon discovered that countless Christmas trees had been erected on both sides of the road, and the trees were full of toys, fruits, and lights. , making the atmosphere lively and extraordinary.

"Seeing how busy everyone is, it reminds me of Chinese New Year. Hey, I'm homesick too." Chu Xiao sighed while driving.

After entering Sunset Boulevard, the scenery becomes even brighter. The sunset slowly descends from Brussels’ Law Street, forming a unique sunset landscape. The Christmas trees dotted on both sides of the road are all lit up, setting off the whole road. A little bit of starlight, like a dream.

At this time, the school was on vacation, and there was no one in the huge campus, with empty playgrounds and classrooms, and a winding driveway extending to the residential area behind.

"Honey, why don't you park the car by yourself, and I'll take a shortcut and go home first, to find out the situation for you?" Tracy knew that Chu Xiao was very nervous, so she intentionally went home first and asked her parents to be kind to him, Be kind.

"You can find it, right?" Tracy asked a little worried when she got out of the car.

"I sent you off once before, of course I remember, go, I'll be there soon." Chu Xiao said confidently, and then drove to the parking lot by himself.

For the safety of the students, the school has always stipulated that vehicles entering the school are not allowed to enter the teaching area and the family area, and all of them are parked in the parking lot. Fortunately, the parking lot is not far from the family area. After Chu Xiao parked the car, he brought tea They walked to Tracy's home.He has never been to university, so he stopped and looked around along the way, feeling that the quiet campus is beautiful and novel, especially in the evening, the huge campus becomes more and more silent.

He walked quietly along the path leading to the family area alone, and he couldn't help feeling as if he was lost. This family area was built by the school for professors and experts. Look, every house is almost exactly the same. This time, because of the festival, many places have been decorated and modified. In addition to the darkness of the evening, Chu Xiao couldn't tell which one was Tracy's house, and she didn't dare to rush into it. enter.

Just as he was hesitating whether to call Tracy, he saw a person hurrying not far away, with a bottle of wine in his hand, who should have just gone shopping and was about to go home. When he came to an intersection and was about to turn a corner, Chu Xiao hurried up to ask for directions.

"Hello! Hello!" Chu Xiao yelled twice from behind, but the man didn't seem to hear him, and then turned into the next intersection.

"Hey!" Chu Xiao quickly chased after him, and then caught up with the man at the intersection, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Dude, may I ask..."

"Snapped!"

Before Chu Xiao finished speaking, the man turned around, picked up the wine bottle in his hand and smashed it towards Chu Xiao's head, then the bottle shattered, and the broken glass and full The fragrance of ground wine.

"You..." Chu Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect that this person would attack others, so he was not prepared at all. That's why he was tricked. But it was an elderly man, but he was more mature than Chu Xiao. Shocked, he kept backing away after beating someone and said, "Don't come here, I have a gun, and if I call the police, the police will come right away, I advise you to be sensible and get out of here."

"Hey, what did I do wrong?" Chu Xiao asked puzzledly while clutching his swollen forehead. Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the athlete has a strong physique. Otherwise, even if he didn't faint, he would still bleed More than that.

"You said you did something wrong." The man retreated to a safe area before continuing, "I saw that you were sneaky and not a good person, and you sneaked into the school to steal things during the festival, right? Because I couldn’t steal anything, I wanted to run up and rob me when I came back from buying champagne alone. Let me tell you, I’ve seen a lot of young people like you, doing evil everywhere, not doing business, are you going to leave? I You can call someone!"

"Hi, I think you have completely misunderstood me." Chu Xiao felt dumbfounded when he heard his explanation, "Old man, I just want to ask you the way, who said I was going to rob, look, I I still have two bags of tea in my hand, this is a gift from someone else’s house, so how could it be like stealing something?” After speaking, he shook the tea bag in his hand.

Seeing that Chu Xiao spoke very sincerely, and that there were indeed two packs of well-packaged tea leaves, it didn't look like he was acting, and the old man was a little uncertain, so he tentatively asked, "Really, really?"

"Of course it's true!" Chu Xiao was angry and helpless.

Seeing the old man's expression, he really believed it this time, but he still asked tentatively, "Then whose house are you going to? I will call the police if I can't tell the name, and you can't talk nonsense, because everyone here I know everyone."

"Er..." Chu Xiao thought for a while, and his thoughts were broken. He only knew that Tracy's father was a professor in this school, but he really forgot to ask their names, so he had to say, "I only know that his daughter Her name is Tracy, and as for the names of Tracy's parents, I really don't know."

"Tracey? Who are you?" The old man was surprised when he heard this.

"I'm her boyfriend." Chu Xiao said.

"No, no, oh, it's impossible." The old man was a little incoherent, and after a while he demanded, "Young man, take two steps forward and get under the streetlight."

"Ah?" Chu Xiao was a little puzzled, but he did it anyway.

"Oh my god, OH my god! It's really you!" The old man walked forward quickly, then held Chu Xiao's shoulder and said, "Oh my god, what am I doing, you are really Chu Xiao, I have seen you I didn't recognize you just now, oh my god, what am I doing, does your forehead still hurt?"

Chu Xiao was obviously very uncomfortable with the 180-degree turn of the old man's attitude. He couldn't help asking, "I'm fine, are you?"

"Hi, I'm Tracy's father. I know that you two are in a relationship, so I watched your game, but I didn't expect to hurt you when we met for the first time. Are you really okay?" The old man looked Looking at Chu Xiao's forehead, he asked again with concern.

"Ah, so it's uncle, hello! Hello!" Chu Xiao's attitude changed immediately, he didn't care about answering the injury, and suddenly became nervous again, and hurriedly greeted the old man.

"Hello! Hello!" The old man also hurriedly responded, "I knew you were coming, because there was no wine in the house, so I went out to buy a bottle of champagne, but I took you for a robbery, hey, It's so embarrassing."

"Uncle, it's okay, it's really okay." Chu Xiao comforted.

"It's good that you're fine, but it's a pity that this wine..." The old man couldn't help but sighed while looking at the wine on the ground, "I just bought it, it's a pity, and said that we will drink it together then."

Chu Xiao forgot the lump on her forehead, and volunteered, "Uncle, is there a supermarket near here, I'll buy another bottle right away."

"Forget it, forget it, you don't need to buy it. By the way, where is Tracy, why didn't you come with you?" The old man looked around and asked.

"She got out of the car and went home. I was going to park in the parking lot, so I got lost while walking." Chu Xiao explained.

"That's it, no wonder you've been looking around. I've been watching you for a long time, but I didn't expect to make a mistake and make a mistake." The old man said a little embarrassed, "Let's go, let's go home first, I guess her mother should Wait in a hurry."

In this way, Chu Xiao's first meeting with his father-in-law started with being beaten with a bottle.
