It's a holiday. Liu Mang wakes up much earlier than before. He gets up before dawn at around five o'clock. He carries a basketball and runs to the place where he used to play when he was studying. He practices ball one kilometer away. He comes back at around seven o'clock and takes a shower.

After bathing and changing clothes, I was going to go out to sell some breakfast, when little Loli Dinah came.

What is this little loli doing so early?

"Uncle, uncle, help Dinah hang this up quickly." The little loli held a box of bulingbuling light ribbons.

Liu Mang took the box and asked, "I don't know how to hang it!"

The little Loli put her hands on her hips and said coaxingly: "Dina is short, she can't reach her!"

What's there to be proud of?

It’s Christmas Eve!

Logically speaking, Liu Mang is not considered poor when he plays in the NBA, and the beautiful landlord is even richer. However, since it is an apartment, there is no room to put a large Christmas tree several meters high, which is indeed a bit regretful.

Do as the Romans do when you are in the country. Liu Mang is happy to join in the Chinese New Year celebrations. When foreigners come to China to celebrate the New Year, they also join in the fun and watch the Spring Festival Gala. They watch Uncle Benshan laugh with the people around him, even though he can’t understand what’s inside.

of stalks.

The fifth and sixth floors were hung with ribbons, and a small Christmas tree of adult height was placed in the middle corridor of the fifth and sixth floors. It was actually a fir tree still planted in a flower pot. The decoration was very simple, with some ribbons hung on it.

, Dinah hung up the card with her wishes, but didn’t allow the gangsters to see it, and finally placed a similarly bulling five-pointed star on the top of the Christmas tree.

All the arrangements are very simple, mainly due to my intention.

As for tenants below the fifth floor...

After Liu Mang entered the NBA, in order to avoid being harassed, the beautiful landlord thoughtfully installed a door at the stairwell between the fourth and fifth floors so that they could not control the tenants downstairs during Christmas.

Anyway, Liu Mang's suite on the fifth floor is rented out, and the rest is just a bunch of miscellaneous things.

Little Loli is very excited today!

After Liu Mang hung up the ribbons and put up the Christmas tree, Dinah took Liu Mang to the supermarket to buy things.

"Dina, what are we going to the supermarket for?"

“Christmas Eve shopping!”

"buy what?"

“Christmas Eve stuff!”

“I was asking what’s on Christmas Eve?”

"..."

"..."

A very embarrassing question arose, and Liu Mang saw it. The little Lolita was too young and didn't know what to buy. It seemed that there was only one mother in the family who was too lazy to die. She probably didn't pay attention to festivals or anything like that. No wonder she was so excited today...

There is a man in the family working as a coolie!

It seems that last year, when I was still studying, I didn't have much time to stay in the apartment. I spent Christmas Eve at school and with clubs, and I really didn't notice how pitiful this little loli was at home.

No wonder I’m so excited today!

But in this case, it would be very embarrassing. Little Loli is too young and doesn’t know what to buy for Christmas. She still calls the store to deliver the Christmas tree. Liu Mang is a foreigner, a foreigner who doesn’t celebrate Christmas, and doesn’t know about the United States.

How to spend Christmas Eve.

"Ask Levia to go shopping together?" Liu Mang gave a reliable suggestion.

"No, mom has nightmares and insomnia every night, please let her sleep more." Dinah was as sensible as ever, always so self-improving.

"Levia has nightmares every day?" Liu Mang remembered the scene where he accidentally woke up Dinah by wailing again, and Dinah held her head to comfort her.

"Well, my mother often has nightmares at night and is frightened to wake her up, crying all the time..." Dinah said, feeling a little disappointed.

What exactly has Levia experienced...does it have anything to do with the father Dinah mentioned before?

Liu Mang is a little bit intolerant! He can’t bear it either.

But this is a family matter, and it’s not easy to interfere with it.

Let's make Dinah happy!

Changing the subject is the best way.

"Dina, uncle has thought of it. Someone must know how to spend Christmas Eve!" Liu Mang immediately brought the topic back.

As expected, the child couldn't multitask, and he immediately became interested: "Who?"

"Your teacher Alexia."

"...Uncle wants to spend Christmas Eve with Teacher Aida. The bad uncle has a beautiful little girl like Dinah, and he still misses the teacher..."

Complaining is complaining, and contempt is contempt. Dinah still looks forward to Liu Mang dialing Alexia's phone number.

Why do you have expectations?

You may not necessarily be free on a big day like today!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are similar to Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Except for international students like Liu Mang and self-improving little lolita like Dinah, who would celebrate the New Year outside.

I don’t know what the beautiful landlady said last time when she went to meet the legendary Grandpa Dinah. It seemed that she was very happy when she came back, but she didn’t spend the “New Year” together.

Liu Mang didn't have much expectation that Alexia would come to visit the supermarket with him. Americans, or Europeans and Americans, were fine when they were students. In fact, after entering social work, they rarely visited each other during the holidays.

Either travel, or stay at home.

I thought about making a call to ask what I needed to buy, but unexpectedly Alexia was free!

Because she had to take the postgraduate entrance examination, Alexia did not go back to Chicago for Christmas and stayed in her apartment in Atlanta to study.

Ever since, Dinah saw Alexia becoming even more hostile!

…

"Dina, go play games with your uncle. Auntie doesn't need your help here. Be careful not to touch those knives to avoid getting hurt," Alexia said.

"Dina won't touch it. Dinah wants to learn how to make Christmas Eve lunch, teacher. When Dinah grows up, she won't have to bother the teacher. Dinah will cook it for her uncle." Dinah started to attack.

How could Alexia be willing to lose to a little lolita? She counterattacked decisively: "It's okay, auntie, I have a very good relationship with your uncle, and we will be very good in the future. I can always cook Christmas Eve lunch for you."

I can’t say anything about this adult! Dinah is so melancholy!

Among her classmates at school, Dinah has always been invincible, but now when she meets a truly mature woman, she is still invincible!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looks like you need to practice hard!

Looking to learn from her mother? It doesn’t seem very reliable. Her mother’s rule is that any problem that can be solved with fists and money is not a problem. Dinah looked at her small body and thought about her pocket money, but it seemed that she couldn’t do it!

So melancholy!

Dinah came to the living room and saw Liu Mang playing a red and white console game, which seemed to be called Tank Battle. Girls are usually not interested in this type of game, and little lolita was not interested either, mainly because the picture was not good-looking at all.

.

Dinah turned on the TV out of boredom. By coincidence, the channel she turned on was playing the famous American soap opera - Sex and the City...

The little lolita is not interested in the love affairs, intrigues, etc., but is fascinated by the dialogue skills of the heroines...

…

…

Christmas Eve, Christmas, everyone is very happy.

Dinah finally had a serious Christmas since she could remember. When the beautiful landlady got up, she was surprised that someone had prepared lunch. She and Alexia seemed to be getting along quite well, which made Dinah very depressed: This

Mom knows no difference between friend and foe!

I ate something simple for lunch the first day. I roasted a turkey in the afternoon and tasted it in the evening. It didn’t taste that good. That’s what I mean. Just like in China, there are always some things that are not delicious during the Chinese New Year, but which year’s New Year table is there?

It's the same thing as something that is not on the page but has some mistakes. That's mainly what it means.

Alexia seems to be very enthusiastic about showing off her home side.

On Christmas morning, Liu Mang, Levia, and Alexia all got up early and stuffed the socks that Dinah hung on the Christmas tree. They even bought a few more pairs of socks because Liu Mang had said they wouldn't give them to her before.

The totem toys that the little loli bought anyway were also given away.

In the afternoon, it is a regular activity for American basketball fan families to watch the Christmas game live!

The main highlight was the game between the Lakers and the 76ers. It was a pity that O'Neal did not play due to injury, but Kobe scored a triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Lakers to a home victory over Iverson, who scored 31 points.

of 76ers.

It was from these two years that Kobe gradually began to surpass Iverson.

…

…

The two days of rest pass quickly, and the happy time always fades away easily.

For Americans, after Christmas, the new year begins.

The Eagles' current record is 18 wins and 9 losses, a winning rate of 67%. If this winning rate is maintained until the end of the season, there will be more than 50 wins. The fans are very satisfied, but the players are not satisfied. When the opportunity comes,

Who wants to give up when this is in front of them? The Pistons lost to the Hornets when they returned to Detroit after defeating the Hawks. They are now only 1 game ahead of the Lakers.
