With luggage in hand, Li Kaiming walked to a house.
He took a deep breath, then put his finger on the wooden door, and then clicked lightly!
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"coming!"
A female voice came from inside the house, followed by footsteps.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, they finally stopped at the door, "Who is it?"
Li Kaiming calmed down and then said in a low voice.
"It's me, Kaiming!"
There was silence inside the door for a moment, and then the door suddenly opened, revealing a middle-aged woman in a long skirt.
There are traces of time on her brows, but it can still be seen that she was a beauty when she was young.
Sun Lan's face was just embarrassed for a second, and then everything was normal and she smiled.
"Come in quickly!"
Then he turned around and shouted into the room, "Old Sun, look who's back?"
Sun Jianjun stepped on a pair of old slippers and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
As soon as he saw Li Kaiming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked quickly to the door, while the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
"Hahaha, what a boy! You didn't disappoint me!"
Sun Jianguo slapped Li Kaiming on the shoulder, with unconcealable relief on his face.
Sun Lan, who was next to him, urged, "The child has come all the way back, so why don't you just let him stand at the door?"
Only then did Sun Jianguo react and immediately got out of the way, "Come on, sit down!"
Li Kaiming looked around at the familiar house where he spent the first dozen years of his life.
After entering college and having a bad relationship with his aunt, he moved out.
Time flies, and when he comes back here, he is already a basketball genius that makes his uncle proud...
And my aunt seems to no longer look down on herself...
He followed his uncle and sat on the sofa. The moment his butt touched the sofa, the familiar feeling came back.
He immediately relaxed.
Sun Jianguo said to Sun Lan, "Kai Ming will come back today and cook something delicious tonight! Where can I make healthy and delicious food outside?"
Li Kaiming smiled, feeling a little warm in his heart.
That's how family members are. Everyone else only cares about your success. Only your family members care about whether you are happy or not, whether you are eating well or not...
Today is the fullest day that Li Kaiming has eaten since he went to college.
My aunt's cooking skills are very good, which is why their Chinese restaurant is famous in the local area.
At the dinner table, he and his uncle mostly exchanged experiences along the way...
Sun Jianguo looked at Li Kaiming who was talking eloquently across from him. Listening to the slightly relaxed words in his mouth, his expression became serious...
As Li Kaiming's guardian, he knows what Li Kaiming has paid for basketball since he was a child, and the latter's ability to perform better than before after a serious injury must have been a huge effort...
After dinner, while Sun Lan went to the kitchen to wash the pots, Li Kaiming and his uncle sat in the living room, talking.
Sun Jianguo glanced at Sun Lan who was busy in the kitchen, then turned around and lowered his voice and said to Li Kaiming, "Kaiming, I know your aunt has been bad to you since you were a child, but can you please forgive me for my sake?" she?"
Seeing that his uncle finally talked about this matter, Li Kaiming suddenly fell silent.
Before he walked in, he knew that his uncle would definitely say this.
That's why he hesitated.
From the bottom of his heart, he hated Sun Lan, especially after he ruptured his Achilles tendon, Sun Lan teased him in front of so many people in the hospital and asked him to serve the plate. At that time, he even wanted to talk to his old man. The uncle broke away from the relationship.
But after he calmed down, he still didn't do that and just chose to move away from his uncle's house.
Seeing Li Kaiming's silence, Sun Jianguo lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and puffed out a circle of smoke.
"Kaiming, I also know that the things Sun Lan did before were not good, so I tried my best to make up for you..."
Li Kaiming snatched the cigarette out of his mouth and put it into the ashtray, "The doctor said you can't smoke, why are you still smoking?"
Sun Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Sun Lan's voice suddenly came from the kitchen, "Old Sun, have you smoked again? How many times have I told you not to smoke..."
Li Kaiming raised his voice and turned back to Sun Lan in the kitchen and said, "It's okay, auntie, I've already strangled him!"
Upon hearing Li Kaiming's words, Sun Jianguo on the side immediately widened his eyes and stared at the former with some surprise in his eyes.
Then, the surprise disappeared and turned into relief and emotion...
Sun Lan in the kitchen also stopped washing dishes after hearing Li Kaiming's words.
There were tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
Li Kaiming hasn't called her "aunt" in how many years. She can't remember clearly...
And just now, Li Kaiming actually called her "aunt" affectionately...
Sun Jianguo laughed, and then patted Li Kaiming, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The day after returning to his uncle's house, Li Kaiming followed Sun Jianguo to their Chinese restaurant.
When he heard his old uncle bragging to customers that he was going to a restaurant today, he refused in his heart.
With his current popularity, restaurants today may be crowded. Did he become a monkey in the zoo not long ago?
But there is nothing we can do. The matter has come to this, and Lao Sun has let out all his words. We can't embarrass him.
So when Li Kaiming wore an apron and served tea and water as a waiter in the restaurant, the customers in the entire restaurant went crazy!
"What the hell? Is this the real Li Kaiming? Didn't this old man lie to me?"
"What old man? Call me uncle!"
"What kind of level is it to ask an NBA star to serve me tea and water?"
"I believe this should be the greatest courtesy I can receive in my life..."
Of course, in addition to serving as a waiter and serving food to each table, Li Kaiming spent more time taking photos with customers and signing autographs.
The most popular photos and autographs of the No. 1 pick can be directly posted online, and you can earn tens of hundreds of dollars no matter what.
No one would be unwilling to do such a business that is sure to make money without losing money...
In addition to the first wave of customers, Li Kaiming's arrival completely caused a sensation in the local area!
"Hey, have you heard that the NBA No. 1 pick actually works as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant?"
"WTF? You have nothing to do to experience life, right? These rich people are so disgusting!"
"You're wrong. This Chinese restaurant is owned by his family..."
"What? I'm going to take a look..."
Many local fans in Memphis drove to Sun Jianguo's restaurant after hearing the news.
The small restaurant was completely packed!
What's even more exaggerated is that the traffic near the restaurant was completely blocked due to too many vehicles!
The miserable Li Kaiming, after serving the first batch of lucky customers, directly transformed into an autograph machine and photo taker.
If those who took the group photo compared with each other, they would find that every smile of Li Kaiming is exactly the same.
He is simply the first generation of "Fake Smiling Boy"!
In addition to the nearby streets and police, there were also several other nearby restaurants that suffered because of his arrival!
Before the finals, the popularity of this place was unintentionally robbed by Sun Jianguo. Their customer flow was already pitiful, but the arrival of Li Kaiming today completely made their restaurant no longer open...
Even their old customers crowded into Sun Jianguo's restaurant with the mentality of watching the excitement.
All this makes these merchants' mentality explode!
Soon after, most of the nearby restaurants closed down, perhaps as a result of the ripple effects of the incident.
But that’s a story for another day…
