The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 50 Gifts
After three days of recuperation, Li Ming's slightly red and swollen left ankle has returned to its normal appearance, and there is no such piercing pain when he moves it with his hands.

In the game against the 76ers at home, he also went to the scene to cheer for his teammates. Finally, under the strong performance of Conley and Randolph, he successfully won the visiting 109ers 91 to 76.

During the intermission, some reporters even came to the sidelines to interview him, but everyone was more interested in his friends, more precisely, Wang Lele beside him.

Yes, in order to thank everyone for their relationship, he paid out of his own pocket and asked Daniel and the three of them to watch the tickets. The seat was Daniel's favorite front row ticket.

"Lee, this is so jealous, I'm going to go back and call my mother." This Daniel was like a child who couldn't grow up, dancing and calling every friend on the way back.

Li Ming suddenly thought of his father, who was always angry in his impression.I get angry when the food is salty, I get angry when I walk slowly, I get angry when I fall down on a bicycle, I always quarrel with my mother, no matter what I do, it is the fault of others, and I control my family's thoughts like a tyrant.

You can't wear any clothes, you can't dye your hair, you can't hang out with your classmates, you can't make friends, and boys can't do it either.It seems that I feel very safe in my own independent little kingdom.

Wang Ping was very quiet, always wearing a headset.Lele pinched his brother's ear for a while, and Li Ming's arm for a while. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Yes, these few days, Lele was almost always with him, taking care of his daily life, and even stayed at his home one night because of the rain.

Of course, he slept in Li Ming's room, and Li Ming slept in a slightly smaller room inside.

Seeing Daniel dancing, Li Ming, who was full of thoughts, suddenly had a bold idea.

"Daniel, tomorrow is Sunday, right?"

"Why, you hurt your feet, why is your brain not working?" Daniel hadn't been able to get out of his excitement.

"Do you guys have something to do tomorrow?" When he asked, they were a little dazed. Wang Ping also took off his headset and looked at him quietly.

"Do you mind if I go to your house for barbecue?" Li Ming turned to Daniel.

"What?? Are you kidding me?" Daniel couldn't believe his ears.

Yes, in fact, despite his excellent grades, he had barely been out of Memphis growing up, and he didn't even know what the restaurants in the next few blocks looked like, or what cheese tasted like.

As children of a black community, he and his siblings acted cautiously in everything they did, fearing that something might go wrong.

Even if a cat is lost in the next street, the police will be the first to knock on their door.

Although he and Li Ming are a little familiar now, they are just friends, because it is beyond imagination that Li Ming can give him a ticket because of his unintentional words.

Now that he wants to propose to be a guest at home again, he is a little at a loss and can't believe what happened in front of him.

"Wang, pat me, pat my head, and tell me where the moon is. I don't have a fever." Obviously he was happy in his heart, and he also accepted Li Ming as a friend from his heart.

"Okay, Daniel, Li Ming said that he will be a guest at your house tomorrow, and we will also accompany you."

"Oh, oh, then I'll call my mother. I'll call in the morning. She may have fallen asleep at this point."

"You told Auntie that we will arrive at about 11 o'clock." Li Ming said slowly.

"Don't, come earlier, you can call us." Daniel spread his hands.

Li Ming naturally has his own ideas about going later, but he just wants to keep it a secret from him.

"No, I can't get up in the morning." He just replied lightly.

"Oh, okay then." Daniel was a little disappointed.

After walking to the parking lot, Li Ming sent them back to the apartment one by one, and returned home alone, lying on the sofa thinking about what gifts to give to Daniel's mother tomorrow.

Daniel always talks about his mother. In his impression, this is a very independent and loving black mother. She is a mother worthy of respect. The gift should be down-to-earth and realistic. .

But he has never been to his home, and he does not know his specific situation.It seems that we still have to rely on Wang Ping's information.

He sent a text message to Wang Ping, because Wang Ping and Daniel lived in the same apartment, if he called him rashly, Daniel would know about it, so it couldn't be kept secret.

Soon, through Wang Ping's text message, Li Ming found some useful information, and Wang Ping volunteered that he and Lele would accompany him to Costco to choose gifts tomorrow morning.

That night, Li Ming slept soundly. He didn't have any stories about the game, didn't think about Lele, or even thought about his parents in a foreign country. This was a high-quality sleep.

As soon as the alarm rang at seven o'clock in the morning, Li Ming finished washing, stuffed two sandwiches indiscriminately, and went out.

Pick up Wang Ping first, and then turn back to pick up Lele. In order not to cause Daniel to change clothes, Wang Ping said that he would go to his sister's house to fix the water pipe.

Daniel didn't think much, turned around and continued to sleep.

"Daniel's mother has always wanted a big air conditioner so that the children can study and play games together, but he has been reluctant to buy it. The money has been used for Daniel's sister and younger brother to go to school." Wang Ping ate the hamburger Said.

"Oh, by the way, his sister seems to have always wanted a talking book." Wang Ping probably meant that kind of audio book.

Lele wrote these down in the notebook very seriously. Needless to say, her brother must have spoiled it to her in advance, so she volunteered to come out early in the morning.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, and the three picked out a high-power air conditioner, a small radio, two fairy tale-type audiobooks, a brand new range hood, and a 60-inch large color TV .Lele also picked out some practical household items.A total of 7600 knives were spent.

This money is a lot of money to Daniel and his mother, Mrs. Naniel, but to Li Ming today, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

It's worth it to win the heart of a friend just for the money.

Li Ming couldn't fit in his car, so he went to the registration area at the front desk to reserve a delivery car, and proudly paid a tip of [-] yuan.And a big note was left on each gift, which read: Dear Mrs. Nanier, a gift from a friend!

After finishing their work, everyone checked the time, and it was only [-]:[-].

"Or, let's go directly to Daniel's house. Give him a surprise, maybe he is still sleeping now, when he receives a call from his mother, I can imagine his expression." Lele always has some Weird idea, maybe this is a woman.

"I have no objection, anyway, it will be fine."

"I don't have any objections either, they've already come out anyway." Li Ming greeted them with a grin and got on the car.

"Let me drive, I know the way to his house." Wang Ping glanced at Li Ming.

"Okay." Li Ming just climbed into the co-pilot's seat when Lele pulled him to the back seat and sat down.

Wang Ping smiled slightly, and kicked the accelerator in the direction of Daniel's house.

"Wang^..." Daniel's two younger sisters rushed up when they saw Wang Ping getting out of the car.

Li Ming could see that the door of his house was open, and everyone was rushing to move things inside.

"Hi, Alice, hi, Meiya." Wang Ping touched their heads and smiled happily.

The two little girls greeted him eagerly, and when they saw Li Ming coming down from the back seat, they plunged their heads into Wang Ping's arms.

Yes, the first time I saw him, I was a little shy.

"Meiya, quickly bring the guests in." A rough voice came from inside.

Mrs. Nunnier trotted out to greet everyone with the things in her hand.

"Wow, you must be the Li Ming that Daniel often mentions. God, come on, child." She hugged Li Ming tightly in her arms.

"Thank you, child, you are an angel sent by God." She whispered in Li Ming's ear.Yes, he expressed his deepest gratitude to Li Ming for his generosity.

"Daniel hasn't called me yet. I thought you guys didn't come until 11 o'clock. You're not ready yet." Mrs. Naniel let go of Li Ming, straightened her apron and strode inside.

Her home is on a small street, about 600 meters away from the main street. It is a two-story house with many rooms, but it is a little old, and some places have fresh white paint.

There is a small lawn in the courtyard that has just been carefully pruned, and the rest is fenced.

A large lemon tree caught Li Ming's attention, and the fruit even protruded out of the road, making people feel unspeakably happy when they saw it.

"Everyone, come in, children, and welcome the guests in." Mrs. Naniel was already holding a hot cup of coffee, and the aroma was overflowing.

After a while, another car came, it was Daniel's sister's family.With red wine in their hands, they came over to greet the three of them with paper bags in their arms.

It seems that Daniel introduced his friends grandly, and today is more like a family gathering.

Daniel was the last one to arrive. He was sweating profusely and came back by bike.

"Come on, man, didn't you say it's 11 o'clock..." Daniel came up and punched Li Ming in the chest, and then they bumped shoulders, "Thank you, Bro!"

Apparently, Mrs. Nunnier told him about his gift-buying.

The whole party was carried out in a happy atmosphere. The men chatted about basketball and football, the children were playing and playing, and Daniel never put down the game controller in his hand.

Everyone was in a hurry to put the newly bought home appliances in place. Li Ming went outside alone to help Mrs. Naniel barbecue kebabs. He even learned a few prayers during the meal.
