my golden age

Chapter 97 The First Spring Festival
On January 2006, 1, the arrival of the Lunar New Year gave Gao Fei a different feeling from that of New Year's Day.

After coming to the United States alone, this was the first time he was homesick.

He sat on the sidelines of the practice field and made long-distance calls home.

"The Spring Festival Gala is on the air, can you see it over there?" Mother Han Suya's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No." Gao Fei seldom sees the Spring Festival Gala, but he can hardly miss Uncle Benshan's skits, "Is Uncle Benshan out yet?"

"He hasn't come out yet, it may take a while."

The host's voice could be faintly heard on the TV. The familiar music of the Spring Festival Gala and the sound of firecrackers seemed to bring Gao Fei back to the simple and simple country.

"Before I knew it, I've been abroad for almost half a year." Gao Fei asked, "Mom, do you miss me?"

"People in rural areas go out to work after the new year and don't return home until the end of the year. You have only been away for five months, and we can often see it on TV. There is nothing to think about." Han Suya's name is very bookish, But with a straightforward personality, even if he often wants to fly high, he still needs to let his son rest assured to work hard in the United States.

"Okay." Gao Fei entered the sports school when he was very young, and he is used to his parents not being around, so he misses it a little. "In a few months, after this season is over, I can go home and stay for a while."

"Did you find an American girlfriend?" Han Suya didn't have many opportunities to communicate with her son, and never talked about relationship matters.

"Yeah, haven't I told you?" Gao Fei recalled mentioning it to his parents.

"No. We heard it from the commentators while watching the game."

"Really?" Gao Fei touched his forehead and said, "I didn't think that far, so let's do it first."

The voices of Ben Shan and Song Dandan appeared on the TV. Besides them, there was another voice belonging to Xiao Cui.

"Mom, has the skit started yet?"

Han Suya put her mobile phone next to the TV, and transmitted the newly arranged sketch to the other side of the ocean through the microphone.

"Second Wu next door, he trembles when he looks at me!" Gao Fei smiled like a child when Aunt Bai Yun spoke her lines.

After the skit was finished, Gao Fei said good night to his parents, and then hung up the phone that lasted for a long time.

"Gao, is tomorrow the Spring Festival with you?" Kobe will go to understand the culture of each international teammate's hometown, and know a thing or two about the Spring Festival.

"Yes. I brought some traditional gifts, which are already in your locker."

"Wow! I'm curious what the gift will be." Odom looked forward to the gift.

"This time the gift is not expensive, but it is very representative." After speaking, Gao Fei went back to training.

Since the dream dungeon, Gao Fei has worked harder.

This generation of stars is not his goal, but even these people can't win, and they can't get close to the goal at all.He has nothing yet, no reason to stop.

……

Odom took out the red Chinese knot from the locker and realized it was a gift from Gao Fei: "Gao, does this have any meaning?"

After Gao Fei patiently explained the meaning of the Chinese knot, he walked out of the arena, took a taxi, and headed to the restaurant in Chinatown.

"Boss, do you sell dumplings here?" Gao Fei asked in English.

"Of course, please come inside." The restaurant owner replied in Chinese.

Gao Fei sat on the chair next to the dining table, looking at the chopsticks in the bamboo tube, feeling inexplicably kind.

"What stuffing do you want?" the boss asked Gao Fei.

"Fennel eggs." Gao Fei's favorite filling is this kind, which is usually not eaten, except for the New Year's Day.

"You must have a lot of food, how many servings do you want?" The boss felt that the strong Gao Fei was like a hill, and it was hard to imagine why he was so agile on the court.

"One serving is fine. I have a special recipe, and many things can't be eaten indiscriminately."

"Since we make an exception, we have to have a good time. We have an old saying that one must enjoy life to the fullest, and it's New Year's Eve, so don't be so nervous." The boss patiently persuaded.

"Okay, three copies first." Gao Fei was persuaded by the boss.

After dinner, Gao Fei paced back to the apartment, sat on the wide platform next to the slanted window, leaned against the wall, and watched the scenery outside.

The TV was on, playing a TV program.

The night view of Los Angeles is beautiful, which attracts Gao Fei's attention.His thoughts flew out, circling Los Angeles.

After staying away from basketball, he is just an ordinary person, and the scene of the setting sun brings him beautiful enjoyment.

Ring Ring Ring!
Gao Fei walked to the coffee table, picked up the phone, and found that it was director James Gartner's call.

"Hello, Gao. I asked you to make a cameo before, but you were very busy, so I found a college player instead. I'm really sorry about this." James Gartner originally promised Gao Fei to make a cameo, but it didn't happen , Temporary replacement of actors, of course I have to say sorry.

"It's okay. You can tell me about the fact that I originally wanted to be a guest star because the schedule didn't take place. Maybe it will help the box office." Gao Fei knows that he is the All-Star ticket king, and his popularity must be very high. Maybe it can play a certain role in publicity .

"Great idea," James Gartner said, "I'll try it."

"What's the name of your movie?" Gao Fei suddenly realized that he still didn't know the name of the movie directed by Gartner.

"Paths of Glory"

"This name is very good. I will definitely read it when I have a chance."

"Thank you, happy new year!" Before hanging up the phone, Gartner congratulated Gao Fei in broken English.

Goofy smiled and hung up the phone.

Taylor has been busy with music creation recently, and basically has no free time.During dinner time, I called Gao Fei.

"Happy New Year's Eve, dear."

For those who are passionately in love, parting for a month is very tormenting.But there is not only romance in life, there are many things to pursue, such as the big stage, such as the championship.For these dreams, we had to give up staying together.

"Is your creation going well?"

"You know? Missing in love is very bitter, but it is like a source of inspiration, and my creation has never been smoother."

"Congratulations."

"I miss you." Taylor paused for a while, and a soft voice came from the other end of the phone.

When Gao Fei heard this whisper, a string in his heart was touched, reaching directly to his soul.His thoughts welled up from his subconscious, and the process from acquaintance to love with Taylor flashed past his eyes like a movie.

"Me too." The answer was simple, but the emotions contained in it were very complicated.

The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until Taylor was about to keep busy that he reluctantly hung up the phone.

Gao Fei put the CD into the player, played the music, and sat back by the window.

He suddenly thought of the All-Stars.

The All-Stars have always had a rule, which is to let the host players take more shots.Since both he and Yao Ming are starters and they are playing in Houston, why not let Dayao win the AMVP.

Once this idea appeared, it couldn't stop.He began to conceive of a suitable style of play. While ensuring the victory, how to let Dayao get the highest score in the Western Conference became the key.

"The pace of the All-Stars is too fast, and Dayao may not be able to keep up. You have to slow down the pace." Gao Fei rubbed his chin with his right hand, thinking to himself, "We need to discuss this matter with Phil."

Phil Jackson is the head coach of the Western Conference.Communicating with him in advance can ensure Dayao's playing time.
