Chapter 15 The Only Happiness

After the father and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, Louis looked at the clock on the wall. It was still very early at ten o'clock in the morning. Then he looked at Neil who was watching the basketball video and said, "Boy, it's still early, why don't we Go find mom."

Neil looked away from the TV, looked back and replied, "Yes, Dad!"

He jumped off the couch, put on his shoes, turned off the TV, and went to see Nuana with his dad.

When they came to the Nuana Pedestrian Street, they were pushed and shoved by pedestrians, some of them wanted to drink, some of them were busy, no one cared about others, those people who lived like the Neil family , his face was covered with gloomy clouds, and it was rare to find Neil and his father in the crowd. Even if life was not satisfactory, even if the family was black, they both had the same smiles as wealthy white people.

Neil and his father were not far away from Nuana, and Neil yelled at his mother: "Mom..."

When Nuana heard that it was Neil calling her, she looked in the direction from which the voice came. Unexpectedly, Louis was also there. Nuana's expression suddenly became serious, and she waved to Neil and Louis, and smiled forcedly.

Louis took Neil's hand and walked towards Nuana's booth, smiling and greeting the neighbors in the neighborhood: "Hi, long time no see!"

"Hi, long time no see, nice to meet you, Louis!" the neighbors in the neighborhood responded to Neil.

Suddenly, Tellson, a friend of Neil's since he was a child, smiled and asked Louis with concern: "Louis, you haven't gone to work at that construction site?"

Louis was silent for a while with a dignified expression, pursed his lips, and nodded at him with a smile.

"Actually, Louis, you can make a lot more money by selling strange things here than by laying bricks on the construction site." Tellson comforted him by looking at Louis with an unnatural expression.

"But what is strange?"

"Well, it depends on the situation."

Louis looked at the bewildered Tellson and smiled, waved to him and said, "Thank you, buddy, I'm busy, I'll go and help Nuana first."

"OK, all right!"

Neil, who was led by Louis, also smiled and waved to Tellson, "Uncle, goodbye!"

Tellson looked at the father and son, and glanced at Nuana who was selling daily necessities in the distance from the corner of his eye. He sighed and shook his head pityingly.

Louis and Neil came in front of Nuana, and Louis stared at Nuana with guilty and helpless eyes and shook his head.

Nuana understood what he meant, but Mills didn't agree to his conditions. Nuana was a little sad, but she still suppressed the tears, lowered her head to sort out her emotions, bit her lips, looked at him and said with a smile "Honey, it's okay. I can't bear that you continue to suffer like that. If you don't have the money, you can earn it again. But if you don't have it, our mother and son will be even more helpless."

Louis looked at Nuana, touched Neil's head and replied, "Yeah, this kid said the same thing, and you said the same thing. It's great to have you, I love you!"

"we love you too!"

At this time, Louis's heart was filled with warmth. It seemed that even though he had been wronged and suffered so much physical pain outside, he would be the happiest person in Alexandria when he returned home, with his wife and son. man.

Nuana looked at the goods that had been sold all morning in her pockets. There were only a few dollars, which was estimated to be enough for the family's expenses today. Then she looked at Louis and said, "My dear, what are your plans for the future?"

"Um……"

As if stuck by his wife, Louis wondered if he should talk to her about teaching golf to kids in the ghetto for a dollar a day each.

"What's the matter? Is it possible that you have been idle like this?" Nuana was stunned by Louis's silence and attitude, looked directly at him with some anger, and asked again.

"Actually not anymore, I just wonder if you will agree with me and Neil's idea?"

"You don't say what you think, how do you know that I disagree?"

Neil looked at his hesitant father, who was afraid that his mother would not agree, and wanted to intervene a long time ago, so he answered his mother before his father: "Mom, my father came home sad this morning. I think he is in a very bad mood. I gave him an idea."

Before Neil finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nuana, who asked Neil in a questioning tone: "You are a big kid? Are you able to come up with an idea?"

"Don't interrupt, just listen to me!"

"Okay, say it!"

"I gave him an idea. Yesterday afternoon, when Dad taught me penalty kicks, I could tell from his shooting posture and movements that Dad should be a good basketball player before. If he can teach the children in the slums to play , he can charge a dollar a day per child, and he can teach with me, isn't that a cool idea?"

After Nuana looked up and down on Neil, some couldn't believe what she heard, and some couldn't believe that the kid in front of her was her own son. How could he be so awesome that he could see that Louis used to be a basketball player? Master, Neil’s reminder brought Nuana back to her year. One day, Nuana’s good friend Ruili called her to watch the last game of the high school boys when they graduated from high school. From the beginning to the end, Nuana stared intently at every shot, every penalty, and every goal of Luis. She was deeply attracted by the drifting shots and difficult breakthrough layups, and even made a mistake. Nymphomaniac, the game is over, many people have dispersed, Ruili told her to go, she was still staring at Louis who was wiping sweat and drinking water by the side of the court, she still didn't want to leave, Ruili saw that she had already told that boy Louis Bewitched, he ran towards Louis, pulled Louis directly in front of Nuana, and said to Louis, "Boy, my sister is already obsessed with you, so I'll leave it to you. You can figure it out. I'll go first." Bye bye!"

Ruili then left, and Louis also looked at Nuana embarrassedly, but Nuana blushed and hurriedly dodged his gaze, when Louis saw that she had nothing to say and was about to leave in embarrassment At that time, Nuana stood up and kissed Louis on the cheek as if she had suddenly returned to her original position. After that, the two were together, and neither of them went to college.

Seeing that his mother didn't make a statement, and didn't know what he was thinking, Neil blushed at the moment. Neil looked at his mother, whose eyes were deep and glowing, with a happy expression on his face, then stared at his father, and pointed at his mother. Ask, "Dad, what's wrong with Mom?"

Louis guessed what Nuana was thinking, but he was embarrassed to tell Neil about that memory, so he smiled half-smile, blushing and shook his head at his son: "I don't know what's wrong with her, you can ask your mother yourself Heck!"

After hearing his father's answer, the little, silly Neil opened his mouth and asked, "Mom, mom... what's wrong with you?"

Nuana was taken aback by Neil's shout, and she came to her senses at this moment. Seeing that Louis and Neil were staring straight at her, she quickly turned her head to one side and asked, "You father and son are staring at me?" What are you doing?"

Louis just smiled and didn't answer his question, but the very young Neil said, "Mom, what's wrong with you, why are you blushing all of a sudden."

Nuana still didn't turn her head to look directly at the father and son, but kept rubbing her hands, hugging her belly, and then replied to Neil: "You little brat, what's wrong with mom, why don't you blush."

"It's obvious, but you still don't admit it, Dad, don't you think so?"

Louis also deliberately followed his son's intentions: "It seems to be a little blushing."

Nuana strengthened her tone, threatened the father and son, and signaled them to shut up: "You two, father and son, don't you want to enter the house?"

Hearing what Nuana said, she was immediately speechless and dared not speak out.

After a while, Nuana calmed down her previous shyness, and turned her head to look at Louis who was squatting aside: "Louis, I think Neil's idea is good, you can do what you like, and you can also teach me well." Teach this little giant so that he will be as good as you were in high school in the future, then you will be successful."

After hearing this, Louis was very grateful to Nuana, nodded to him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I still remember those memories in high school. I think I will try my best to become an excellent basketball coach in the future."

"Yeah, I also have enough confidence in you, but if this kid follows you, you let him get hurt and ruined, please be careful."

"I will keep your advice in mind."

Nuana looked at Louis and nodded with a smirk, then reached out to touch Neil's head.

Neil looked at his mother with his eyes, smiled silly and said, "Mom, you are so kind!"

Nuana didn't make a sound, just looked straight ahead, watching the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, feeling the only happiness that belonged to their family.
