As we entered December, the hot weather in Los Angeles turned a little cooler, but the excitement in the basketball arena in St. Lawrence continued.

After a slump in the first game of the new semester, the main players of the Turkeys slowly found their winning form from the court, and fought bravely in the next four games to win back-to-back games, and won a rare five consecutive games in December.

In 2003, the turkeys continued their ferocious firepower and strong momentum in the first month of the new year, losing only one away game in back-to-back situations, so so far this season, the turkeys have a 9-1 record with all home wins.

In these 10 games, Bai Xiaonian played in 9 games, as a top player on the bench, the existence of the Magic Sixth Man, who can contribute 11.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals to the team in an average of 16 minutes per game. Klay, as Evan's main rotation, averaged 7.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12 minutes per game.

Just when the St. Lawrence Turkey Team was united towards the continental championship, Bai Xiaonian's family ushered in a special day.

Chinese New Year on February 1, 2003

In the Bai family's small house in the United States, the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Goat is being broadcast live on the TV screen, and Yang Jun's oily image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is waiting for the moment when the New Year's bell rings. The original elegant room was hung with bright red lanterns, crystal chandeliers wrapped with five-colored lanterns, and long and short couplets with inverted characters were neatly pasted all over each door, using these details to add a traditional Chinese festival atmosphere to this small space far from Xichuan.

Bai Xiaonian's family sat around a table full of various traditional Sichuan dishes, and the hot Chinese New Year's Eve meal steamed with unforgettable nostalgia for the motherland and deep longing for family. In addition to Bai Sizhe's family of three, there is also a familiar petite figure on the table.

"Uncle Bai, this meat quack is delicious! You eat more. Zheng Ni could use chopsticks to point to the back pot meat in front of her and said sweetly to Bai Sizhe.

"Don't worry about your Uncle Bai, you can't die of hunger, little Nicole, you can eat more, you see that your little arms are so thin, don't be polite to us, it's like eating at your own house." Shangguan Qin said and sandwiched a piece of fine western Sichuan black bacon in Zheng Nicole's bowl, she loved this polite cute little girl very much.

"Aunt Shangguan, why is there no fish in the fish-flavored eggplant? Why are there no ants in the ants? "Nicole Zheng, who doesn't know anything about Chinese food, has really become stupid and sweet at this time.

Shangguan Qin smiled coquettishly, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this little girl was very cute, so she patiently explained to Little Nicole the method of each dish and the origin of the name of the dish.

Little Nicole was fascinated by Guanqin's explanation, and admired the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture even more, and her little face was cute because of happiness.

After today's short contact, she also received extraordinary courtesy from the Bai family, and with the enthusiastic help of Uncle Bai and Aunt Shangguan, little Nicole also truly integrated into the Spring Festival atmosphere of the Bai family.

Originally, in the United States, except for Chinese, few people would celebrate this festival that only belongs to the East, and Bai Xiaonian heard that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Nicole's parents were home alone on a business trip, so he invited Nicole Zheng to spend this happy night in his home.

Zheng Nicole, the little girl, originally refused to go to Bai Xiaonian's house to eat and drink, but I heard that there was delicious Sichuan cuisine in the Bai family's mansion, and this Korean girl who was deeply captured by Chinese food responded to it, which led to this special scene tonight.

Xiao Baibai was lying under the dining table without love, and the grief and indignation in a pair of sky blue eyes were clearly visible. A pair of small golden lotuses stepped on the small white soft hair, obviously this automatic environmental protection foot warmer is very useful to the owner of the little feet.

Zheng Nicole put her feet on Xiao Baibai's soft belly, thinking that she was good for the big dog of the Bai family, and just now she shared the best cold preserved eggs with him, and he must be very happy now! Right! Big dog.

Bai Xiaonian ignored Xiao Bai's pleading gaze. Turning his head, he stammered and said to Bai Sizhe and Shangguan Qin: "My dearest parents, you see how precious it is to miss relatives during this Spring Festival, and our family is reunited in a foreign country!" So you guys aren't..."

Bai Sizhe and Shangguan Qin were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this little guy was begging for red envelopes, and they didn't react for a while.

Shangguan Qin pursed his lips and glared at Bai Sizhe, Bai Sizhe immediately understood his wife's thoughts, and found two red envelopes stupidly, took out his wallet and put it in, looking for your biggest image of wife.

"Whoa! Stinky boy, take it, Mom and Dad are here to wish you to fulfill your own dreams and live happily in the days to come. Bai Sizhe handed a red envelope to Bai Xiaonian.

turned around and walked to Nicole Zheng, who was "caressing" Xiao Baibai, took out another red envelope and said: "Little girl, I wish you success in your studies, this is the heart of your uncle and aunt, don't refuse." ”

Zheng Nicole was stunned, as a Korean, she didn't understand why Uncle Bai gave herself money for no reason...

Bai Xiaonian patted his head, walked over and said to Zheng Nicole: "You just take it, this red envelope is a tradition of the Chinese Spring Festival, which can bless people with a safe year, in our country, this is called New Year's money." ”

Zheng Nicole nodded as if she didn't understand, hesitantly put away the red envelope, and thanked Bai Sizhe and his wife: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, little Nicole will study hard!" ”

Shangguan Qin and Bai Sizhe smiled heartily, this is why they like this little girl in their hearts, it is so cute.

When his parents shifted their attention to the TV again, Bai Xiaonian quietly pulled over Zheng Nike and said shamelessly: "Cough! Cough! Cough! What, you see that I still helped you fight for this red envelope, should I get a commission? ”

"Go away, look at your dead face, miser!" Zheng Nicole said speechlessly. ”

The little girl glanced at Bai Xiaonian, the big fool, turned around and continued to tease Xiao Baibai, especially when she just discovered that Chinese herbal tea is very good, just for the big dog to taste...

When the bell rang at 12 o'clock, Bai Xiaonian's family came to the garden of the house, looked up at the sky, and saw beautiful fireworks rising into the sky, carrying the dreams and hopes of countless Chinese people into colorful flowers, coloring the bright night sky of the City of Angels.

"Hey! Xiao Nianzi, how did you get this firework? It's so beautiful. Nicole Zheng tilted her head and looked at the beautiful fireworks and asked.

Seeing that Zheng Nicole, who was incarnated as 100,000 whys tonight, asked again, Bai Xiaonian's face was bitter, and his chemistry was rotten into slag... hurriedly made up nonsense and said, "Ahem! It is said that this firework contains a mysterious power, which was extracted by the ancient oriental alchemists, as the saying goes, the heavenly secret cannot be revealed, and the Buddha said: not to say. ”

Bai Sizhe on the side saw that Zheng Nicole was stunned by her son and laughed: "Little Nicole, don't listen to this little rabbit cub's nonsense, come to my uncle's side, my uncle will tell you..."

The figure of four people and one dog enjoyed the good wishes of this festival in the garden, and Bai Xiaonian was very satisfied with his decision to invite Xiao Nizi to come to his house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and it would not be bad if he could continue like this.

It's just that Bai Xiaonian didn't see the fireworks reflected on Nicole Zheng's face, and she was already in tears...
