Chapter 14 Neil's Way

Louis returned home with a look of despair and anger. He heard the sound of the TV in the house at the door, and it seemed to be playing a basketball video. Louis knew that Neil must be at home. Why didn't he go selling things with Nuana?Is it a lazy bed again?

He asked a few rhetorical questions at the door, then gently pushed the door open, and saw Neil watching the video while gesticulating, his eyes fixed on the TV, without any idea that his father pushed the door and entered.

Louis pushed open the door and approached Neil happily.

At this moment, Neil felt as if someone was staring at him, so he glanced in the direction of the door out of the corner of his eye, and the tall and tall figure of his father came into his eyes.

Louis saw that Neil found himself back. He was afraid that his negative emotions would affect his son, and he also made up his mind in his heart that he must not let him know that his school affairs are still in jeopardy. He has to think of other ways, but the resignation may not be possible Conceal it, but Louis believes that even if he tells Neil, Neil can understand him and compare what kind of person Na Mills is.

Neil stared at his father curiously for a while, then ran towards Louis to hug him, and asked unexpectedly, "Dad, you're back, aren't you going to work?"

When Louis was asked by his son, he was stunned for a while, lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then raised his head and looked at Neil again, staring at Neil with a guilty and incompetent expression: "Son, from today on, Dad has become a vagrant. , I can play with you every day, do you think this is good?"

"Dad, what do you mean, you didn't do it on the construction site?"

Louis pursed his lips, tears welling in his eyes, but now that he was a father, these tears must not be left in front of his son, even if he had to hide in a corner alone and cry, Neil must not be Corroded by the fickleness of the world, one must always have a hopeful and optimistic heart.

Louis was silent for a while, squatted down, and pressed his hands on Neil's shoulders, feeling a little unspeakably sad. He paused, pursed his lips slightly, and nodded slightly in response to Neil.

Although Neil is sometimes self-willed, he is still sensible at times. He knows how to read words and expressions. He saw his father smiling on the surface, but he knew that his heart must be uncomfortable. After all, on the night of Neil's birthday, he also witnessed his boss treat him All the insults, beatings and attitudes, I thought it was a good thing for my father to resign, so I stared at my father and smiled: "Dad, it's a good thing that you don't work for someone like your boss! Why do you even smile so unnaturally."

When Louis heard Neil say this, he seemed to have sensed his helplessness, depression and entanglement, so he shook his head vigorously and forced a smile: "Boy, do I have one?"

Neil responded with a silly laugh, "Of course, Louis."

"Boy, if you dare to call me by my name, no one is old or young, believe it or not, I will beat you."

"Father, I saw it on TV, calling my father's name by myself. In our country, he is regarded as a hero."

Like a child, Louis responded with a smile: "Hey...you can do it, you know that too."

After Louis responded, he asked him again: "Then your mother and I call you by your name, do you think you are a hero?"

"I guess it should be!"

Louis seemed to be intentionally encouraging his son to answer: "It is true, you are the eternal hero in the hearts of parents, and we also have enough confidence in you to become a veritable hero."

Neil was very moved when he heard this. It turned out that his parents, who sometimes bully him willfully, love him so much. He wanted to say something sincerely: "Dad, I'm sorry before!"

Louis hugged him and stroked his head. It seemed that Neil's words also put all the unbearable and sad things in his heart behind him, and he didn't think about anything. As long as the family can do well, it's okay if the job is gone. Look again, but if the health is gone, I am gone, and if it goes on for a long time, not only will I lose myself, but I will also lose my dearest and most beloved Nuana and Neil. What a dream.

Seeing that his father was silent, Neil was a little afraid that his father would become depressed, even smiling so unnaturally, I had to think of a way.

Suddenly he recalled yesterday when his father taught him a penalty kick at the court, he seemed to be very good at playing, and also professional, like a master.

And he thought about it again, he always wanted to earn twenty dollars by playing ball on the street to get his mother checked for illness, but no one taught him how to play. Let them each give one dollar a day, and they can teach together with him. If they improve their game skills and earn a little money, maybe it's okay.

When Neil thought of this, he smiled slyly, thinking narcissistically, he was so smart.

His faint laughter was heard by holding Louis. Louis let go of his hands, with a blank expression on his face, and asked curiously, "Boy, what are you laughing at?"

"Dad, I suddenly thought of a way to make money."

"What method can you do?"

"Just say you want to listen?"

"I heard you say."

"Yesterday afternoon, I saw that your penalty kick was quite accurate, and your shooting posture was also very good-looking. I think again, you can teach the children in the slums to play, and let them give you one dollar a day each, and you can even train with me. Now, isn't this a good way?"

Louis heard his son’s idea, and it was indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds, but the problem came, there was no training ground, so he shook his head and looked at his son and said, “Boy, this is a way to get the best of both worlds, but Dad is so poor, Where there is money to buy at least two rebounds, basketball may need more, and you don't know, if the quality of basketball is not good, it will hurt your hand."

"Dad, we can use the public courts and backboards in the ghetto."

"Hey... that's a good idea, but the venue is too bad and dilapidated. Is there any child willing to come and play?"

"Dad, I'm a child, I understand them, if they are really bored, they will be happy if there is a sport for him to entertain him."

"But what if his parents said that our father and son squeezed his children's money?"

"Dad, don't worry, as long as the children have fun, this kind of thing will never happen."

"But how can they be willing to give money to let me, who they don't even know how to play, teach them how to practice?"

"Dad, we can play on the street and show off your talents, but only if you teach me a few tricks and beat other kids on the street, and then those kids see that I'm your kid, they're all blown away, and Having witnessed your skills on the street, I believe they will be willing to give you money to teach you."

"Yeah, kid can do it. You are so young, you can do it all the time." After hearing this, Louis happily stroked Neil's head, kissed him on the cheek in relief, and replied in praise.

Neil just scratched his head stupidly, staring at Louis with a smirk.

At this time, Louis was lost in thought. Will Nuana agree to me as a basketball coach?Let Neil reach the school age and not go to school, so it is appropriate to take him to play streetball?But he really can’t think of a better way to go to school, but if Neil wants to become a professional basketball player in the future, he must be taught by someone who understands the game since he was a child. But being his father can make him pay attention to his health, then throw the ball into the basket, and standardize his shooting posture. These tasks have to be done from a young age, day after day, year after year. One human body, if I really choose this way, Nuana will not only have a heavier burden, she is already sick... Never mind, everything is the best arrangement, when Nuana comes back, I will be with him Discuss it, listen to her opinion, and then make a decision.

While thinking about it, Louis stared straight at Neil, and couldn't help sighing guiltily in his heart, boy, it's all your fault for your bad luck, you were cast into the wrong family, you should be born into that kind of wealthy white family for such a good child , you won’t suffer with your current parents, hey... I am also useless, let you not go to school when you reach school age, let you only talk about your dreams all day, but there is nothing you can do.
