Chapter 233: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day is an ancient holiday created by the American people, and it is also a holiday for Americans to gather together as a family. Thanksgiving does not have a fixed date at the beginning, and is determined by the states of the United States on an ad hoc basis. It was not until 1863 after the independence of the United States that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving Day a national holiday, and in 1941, the United States Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as "Thanksgiving Day". The Thanksgiving holiday generally lasts from Thursday to Sunday.

In 1879, the Canadian Parliament declared November 6 to be Thanksgiving Day and a national holiday. In the years that followed, the date of Thanksgiving changed several times until January 31, 1957, when the Canadian Parliament declared the second Monday of October as Thanksgiving Day.

In addition to the United States and Canada, there are countries in the world such as Egypt and Greece that have their own unique Thanksgiving, but European countries such as the United Kingdom and France are insulated from Thanksgiving.

In other words, Luan Jiye has no game today, and he wants to participate in the team's activities today, which is to send warmth to the children in poor areas on Thanksgiving.

Therefore, the players of the Rockets gathered at the arena at five o'clock in the morning that day, Luan Jiye and Harden arrived first, this time the players prepared a lot of jerseys, of course, when the time comes, they will sign autographs for the children, and then there will be a lot of food, Luan Jiye can't wait to send them to those children, he really hopes to see the children's satisfied expressions, in that way, his own mood will be good.

After a while, the other team members also came one after another, and the big guys got on a bus together, and there were a lot of things for the children on the bus, and there were even a few mountain bikes.

The bus started to move towards a very remote place, and everyone started chatting, and Harden was the first to speak: "Guys, should we do a trip to China next time?" ”

"Okay!" Zhou Qi and Luan Jiye answered very simply, after all, that is where the two of them grew up.

"Okay, I miss Chinese food too!" Ariza said.

"Hahaha! You're just thinking about eating, aren't you? Paul laughs.

After chatting all the way, we finally came to a slum, where there was a simple basketball court, the baskets were all dilapidated, a few children were playing basketball there, and when they saw a brand new bus, they all looked at it curiously, after all, this thing was too new for them, they were afraid that they had only made motorcycles.

However, when the Rockets players got out of the car, these children all ran over shouting, there are people who love basketball everywhere, so when he saw the appearance of these children, Luan Jiye felt inexplicably sad, these children shouted their favorite stars, Harden walked in front, saw a black child, as if he saw an old acquaintance, picked him up, and said, "Hello!" Little Henry! Long time no see! ”

"Mr. Harden! I miss you too! The little Henry said.

There are also many children who saw Luan Jiye, and a few children immediately surrounded them, they all knew Luan Jiye, after all, Luan Jiye played an all-star statistic when he first came to the Rockets, which is all impressive.

The sound here quickly attracted the attention of more people in the slums, and when they saw that it was a football star, they hurriedly ran over, at this time, Harden said: "Okay, guys! Take out all the gifts! ”

When Luan Jiye heard this, he immediately took out a big bag, which was full of his own jerseys and sneakers, and the other team members also took out the gifts they brought. ”

As soon as they heard the signature, these children were even happier, and they rushed to come and Luan Jiye to get an autograph, Luan Jiye also patiently signed one by one, and now Luan Jiye has a smile on his face, the children can be satisfied, and he himself is very happy.

The children got the clothes of their favorite players, and they all quickly put them on their bodies, feeling like stars, Luan Jiye also took a few basketball signatures and gave them to a few children, and then they ate and drank, and began to distribute them to these hungry children, they really ate the last meal and didn't have the next meal!

At this time, Luan Jiye observed that there was a little white girl behind her, blonde hair and blue eyes, very cute, but her pretty little face was a little dirty, and her clothes were full of oil, she didn't come to snatch things like other children, Luan Jiye couldn't bear to see it, so she walked over and squatted down and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?" ”

"I.... My name is Halle Katie. The little girl said a little nervously.

"Katie, huh? Why don't you come and get the gift like everyone else? Luan Jiye asked.

"Because, I don't dare." Katie said.

"Why? Look at the other kids, it's okay! Luan Jiye said.

"But I just don't think I have the right to have those things." Katie said.

When Luan Jiye heard this, he stood up, returned to the bus, took some drinks and food, and deliberately took some more bread, and also took a dress and his own jersey for Katie, after getting off the bus, Luan Jiye stuffed all these things to Katie, and said, "Then, just when I borrowed you, how about it?" ”

Katie looked at Luan Jiye gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Luan!" ”

"Uncle? I'm wiping my ......" Luan Jiye thought to himself: "Little girl, my brother is only in his early twenties!" But Luan Jiye was just funny in his heart, and said to Katie with a smile: "What is your dream?" ”

"My dreams? It's a little unrealistic, and I want to be a drama actor. Katie said.

"What's unrealistic about that? Just like me, I used to think that my dream of playing in the NBA was also unrealistic! But it's also happening! Go for it! Believe in yourself, there's nothing you can't do! Luan Jiye said with a smile that Luan Jiye at this time was simply a warm man.

After the things were almost delivered, the Rockets also planned to rebuild the basketball court for them, and Luan Jiye also said goodbye to Katie, and encouraged her to stick to her dream before leaving! Katie also thanked Luan Jiye very gratefully, and then Luan Jiye took a photo with Katie with a snapshot, and after giving the photo to Katie, Luan Jiye followed the team.

In the evening, the team members held another dinner, everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures, Luan Jiye also sent a photo of himself and his teammates to Hu Hanying in China, and also played a game: "Happy Thanksgiving Day!" My sweetheart! ”

Hu Hanying received Luan Jiye's congratulations, but when he saw the word "Sweetheart", his face couldn't help but turn red, and he was even more looking forward to seeing Luan Jiye soon.
