Liu Xiu ran back and forth several times. Finally, she picked up all the shopping bags scattered on the floor and put them in the living room. Finally, she brought in the suitcase containing a few clothes from the door of the small courtyard.

After Liu Xiu finished his work, Qing'er ended his koala state.

"Mom went to buy groceries with Qing'er in the afternoon, received a call from the company, and went to discuss the design plan..."

"Mom said that my brother would definitely buy a bunch of gifts when he came back, but she didn't want to put them down and was too lazy to pick them up again, so she asked Qing'er to wait and open the door for her brother."

"Qing'er is waiting at the window upstairs. Strangers will never open the door. She waits for her brother to come back before going downstairs..."

The picture of Qing'er secretly observing appeared in Liu Xiu's mind. JPG He couldn't help but pick up Qing'er, put it on his lap and sit down, moving Qing'er's head.

Cheng Qing'er, 9 years old, is the daughter of Liu Xiu's uncle Cheng Fengwei.

With her uncle taking the lead, her aunt approving her, and Qing'er not knowing anything, she decided to learn bilingualism from an early age.

When Qing'er realized how miserable she was as a child, she was already able to speak bilingually fluently.

As a mixed-race lolita, with big eyes and a high nose, delicate Chinese skin, and thick hair... she is so cute.

"The oil in the pot will make it sticky..."

"No way, brother is trying to remove Qing'er's head."

"This is head-stealing!"

Qing'er said and slapped Liu Xiu's hand away, then moved her own hands from her chin to the back of her head, messing up her hair and biting a handful in her mouth.

"Pfft," Qing'er spat out the hair from her mouth, "This is head-stealing!"

"Oh," Liu Xiu nodded, "Brother has learned how to move it like this next time."

"Is that what I meant!"

"Isn't it?"

So angry! Ignore my smelly brother for now.

Qing'er jumped off Liu Xiu's lap and went to pack the shopping bag that Liu Xiu had casually placed in the living room.

Looking at the 23 shopping bags, 11 of them were written with Qing'er, 11 with Caroline, and 1 with uncle... After looking at the gifts for her father, Qing'er thought of the gifts her stinky brother had given her in the past two years. Her dad's birthday present..."a razor in trouble?"

But this time the packaging box looks much more upscale.

After putting away the gifts from her parents, Qing'er began to open her own gifts. When she saw the gift she had been looking forward to for a long time, she finally lost her temper after tinkering with it - "Fortunately, Qing'er's excavator was not broken, otherwise it would have Ignore my brother for five minutes!"

She is obviously a cute loli, but she doesn't like those dolls but likes various toys... This actually saved Liu Xiu a lot of money.

Although the prices of these toys are not cheap, after all, they have withstood Liu Xiutian's rain showering move without being broken, but in total they are probably not as expensive as a limited edition doll.

Qing'er was playing with toys, and Liu Xiu was lazily leaning on the sofa, watching a comparison of the differences in rules between the NBA and the NCAA.

This is what Bill Duffy has prepared. Players come in and out of the NBA every year, and agents need to compete for rookies. These things are naturally prepared.

Compared to looking up NBA rules online, this intuitive comparison is more effective.

Liu Xiu originally knew the rules of the NBA better, but after playing in the NCAA for a year and adapting to the rules of the NCAA, he is not that familiar with the rules of the NBA now. Moreover, he is familiar with the rules of more than ten or twenty years later, so there are always some differences. .

Make preparations in advance and the summer league adaptation period will be shorter.

Anthony has always been curious about one thing during the season - Liu Xiu is obviously becoming more and more lazy, but when thinking about how to assist his teammates and investigating opponents, he will be very attentive and prepare for this aspect with surprising efforts.

In fact, in Liu Xiu's opinion, it will be easier to do something if you are well prepared...

In the living room, the older one is reading information and the younger one is playing with toys. The picture is very harmonious.

Suddenly, Qing'er screamed and broke this harmonious scene.

"What's wrong, Qing'er? Did you break the toy again?"

"No way..." Qing'er looked at the excavator shovel removed from her right hand and said, "Qing'er will put it back together..."

Like other children, Qing'er always has an inexplicable sense of self-confidence when dismantling things... After reinstalling it, after a few attempts to install it but it didn't work properly, Qing'er suddenly reacted: "Brother, please don't interrupt, or you'll almost hurt Qing'er."

I forgot what I was going to say, it’s already 5:30, mom probably won’t have time to come back and cook, we will be hungry at night!”

"Then let's go out to eat."

"Do you have money?"

"I have it!"

"Yes, that's right! Qing'er hasn't congratulated her brother for being selected with the 13th overall pick!"

"You just remembered! How can I get the money to buy you a bunch of toys if you're not selected?"

"Will you be rich if you are selected... or not. Mom said that my brother still needs to save money to buy a house and marry a wife. Mom bought vegetables, let's cook them ourselves!"

Liu Xiu thought about it, nodded and said, "That's okay, what can I cook and eat by myself?"

"Qing'er and her mother bought potatoes together in the afternoon..."

"Then let's make mashed potatoes."

Qing'er was not happy anymore: "Then don't do anything meaty!"

"Good idea, what to cook?"

"Mom bought a steak. I heard it's very expensive." Qing'er's eyes lit up as she spoke.

Meat! Eat meat!

“What about the steak?”

“Goulash with potatoes!”

"Uh... OK, come on, the cutest Qing'er in the world."

Seeing the smelly brother taking out the small apron from nowhere, Qing'er's mouth became flat, and her nostrils dilated when she breathed out, as if two invisible white air spurted out.

Taking the apron, Qing'er turned around and walked to the kitchen angrily. Before entering, she turned around and yelled at her unfortunate brother: "Other people's daughters are all careless, other people's sisters are all babies, but yours is a baby."

nanny!"

…

At 7 o'clock in the evening, when Caroline returned home, she found a table of food had been prepared.

My husband, who was on a business trip, was supposed to come back tomorrow and rushed home in the evening to celebrate his nephew being selected by an NBA team.

Watching the steak she bought turn into beef stew with potatoes... only her precious daughter and genius nephew could do it.

Although fried steak meat is not suitable for beef stew, it tastes okay.

It just hurts a little. This steak is so expensive...

Caroline, Liu Xiu's aunt, is a professional fashion designer. She works in a small clothing company. Her income is not huge but it is decent.

Cheng Fengwei, Liu Xiu’s uncle, is engaged in the machinery maintenance and care industry.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Qing'er made a large table of Chinese food from a bunch of ingredients that were originally intended for Western food.

Qing'er's cooking skills are probably a genetic talent. Cheng Fengwei was originally a chef and inherited his father's business. Liu Xiu's grandfather was also a chef. He came to the United States with the intention of promoting Chinese food culture...I found that although Chinese food in the United States is popular,

The higher-end ones are all expensive, but American Chinese food and real Chinese food are not the same thing.

Fortunately, I was young at the time, in my early 20s, and switched careers to study mechanical repair. I actually liked the job and the income was decent, but I often needed to travel for business.

Apart from being sumptuous, the dinner was not much different from usual, except that my uncle and aunt were nagging me a lot more than before.

My uncle and aunt didn't talk to Liu Xiu about income. They kept telling Liu Xiu what he needed to pay attention to in various aspects. After leaving college, he really entered the society. Both of them were imparting their experience in getting along with colleagues.

Liu Xiu was very touched by this aspect. Although his nephew was equal to half his son, Liu Xiu didn't think it was natural.

He didn't say anything pretentious, he just responded and asked if he didn't understand something. Although he had several years of work experience in his previous life, American culture is different, and it's always good to learn more, even if it may not be useful.

After dinner, Liu Xiu received a gift from his uncle and aunt - a customized suit.

Before he went to the draft, his aunt had given him a custom-made suit.

After washing, he lay on the bed. It was late at night, Liu Xiu was not sleepy, and he did not want to enter simulation training. His mood was very complicated.

The chat with his uncle and aunt tonight made him truly realize that he was about to enter society again.

He is very excited to have become a professional player, but people always worry about gains and losses. There are many differences between professional basketball and college. In college, although there was the utilitarian idea of ​​becoming a professional athlete, playing basketball is really just a hobby.

Pure things.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu felt relieved.

'I always cherish my college time again, but it's a pity that it ended in less than a year... Now that it's like this, it's better to enjoy the time when you just entered the society...'

'How can I repay my uncle and aunt for taking care of me... buy more toys for Qing'er! She even dismantled the excavator into parts...'

…

…

After Liu Xiu became a professional player, his uncle and aunt became more nagging at home, but outside, Liu Xiu felt the high spirits of the two of them. In the next few days, many guests came to the house, all of whom were friends of his uncle and aunt, or who were nearby.

Neighbors, both of them almost blew him to the sky, which was completely different from the constant nagging when no one was around.

Liu Xiu, who has experienced the ups and downs of human relationships, knows that these are the real elders in the family, and they must be respected with heart and practical actions.

Although they were only a dozen years older than him and both were less than 40 years old, their uncle and aunt had already transformed into elders after having children.
