October 26th, evening.
Lu Hedong moved the TV out of the supermarket and set up the table and chairs, ready to eat.
This was the supermarket he owned. He was originally from Xiangjiang. He had made some money from a small business in his early years. In addition, his children were studying and working abroad. His career was all abroad. He sold all his property and business and immigrated to San Francisco with his son.
Here, he started his old business. He rented a shop under the building, opened a supermarket, and lived a leisurely life like retirement.
As time passed, the little inferiority complex he felt as a new migrant in front of the indigenous Chinese gradually disappeared.
Because he realized that the old Chinese who lived here or were born and raised here were actually not as rich as him.
He was dressed fresh and bright outside, but he was indeed poor at home. His parents were also poor ordinary residents like the old men and women in Xiangjiang countryside.
His English wasn't very good, but after interacting with the local residents, he gradually became a noble person.
"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!"
When he finished setting up the table and was about to return to the supermarket to make a phone call and his son came down to eat, he saw three people walking out of the building.
The tall and especially young boy said goodbye to his parents and left in a taxi.
Lu Hedong knew that these three people had moved in in the past two to three months.
He just didn't know if she was a new migrant like him or a Chinese born and raised elsewhere.
During this period of time, he could always see this family coming in and out, touring this place, and always greeting others when they had something to do.
They shouldn't be rich.
Lu Hedong guessed confidently.
He had also been greeted by her many times, but he had never sat down and had a deep conversation with her.
He could tell from the ordinary clothes and attire of this family that they were similar to the ordinary aborigines here. They were probably the bitter type.
The son of this couple was tall and handsome. In the two to three months he had been here, he had become a rare sight in Chinatown and could always attract the attention of some girls.
But so what?
Lu Hedong curled his lips in disdain.
Wasn't it bitter?
Looking at how this kid usually came and went, he probably did some manual labor, right?
She was tired all day, just like a dog.
Why did they migrate here?
Tsk, he really doesn't know what to say. He's embarrassing us Chinese.
By 7 p. m., Lu Hedong's family had finished dinner. They cleaned up the dishes and lay comfortably outside watching TV.
He loved watching TV outside like this.
This way, people would know that this supermarket belonged to him and that he was rich, not poor.
Moreover, he liked to force his son to stay here and watch TV with him for a while.
When his neighbors came over to watch TV, he was very proud because his son was a doctor.
Even though he was just a doctor who had just completed his internship in a public hospital for two years.
However, no matter what, in America, doctors were well-paid and respected professions.
Who wouldn't give their son a thumbs up if they knew what his occupation was?
Every time they saw their neighbors or passersby, they would praise their son when they heard that he was a doctor from a big hospital.
In addition, his son was 1.8 meters tall and had decent looks. These neighbors wanted to make the decision and marry their daughter over. Their intimacy made him feel indescribably beautiful.
Now, as usual, he let his son watch TV with him. Even if his son switched to the local sports channel, he would still be happy.
Even if he couldn't understand it at all.
At this moment, the couple who had been upstairs for a while came down again and walked straight to him.
As soon as the woman walked in, her gaze was fixed on the television as if she had never seen television in her life.
As for the man, he looked hesitant and conflicted when he arrived. It seemed like he wanted to ask her something.
Was he here to brag about his son again?
As he thought of this, he immediately sat up straight and prepared to be praised.
However, what surprised him was that when the man made up his mind and stopped hesitating, what he said stunned him.
"Hello, can I watch TV here for a while?”
"Sure!"
No matter how lofty Lu Hedong was, he would not treat his compatriots coldly.
"Thank you!"
After getting his permission, the man beckoned the woman to sit down. The stool she was sitting on was deliberately placed outside by Lu Hedong, waiting for someone to come over and praise his son.
Just like that?
Lu Hedong was stunned again when he realized that the couple had been staring at the television at the same time after sitting down.
Aren't you going to ask what my son does?
Even asking for his name was good.
Why did it seem like they had never watched television before?
"Cough cough!"
Unwilling to give up, Lu Hedong stood up and walked behind the couple. He pretended to ask,"Do you want to change the channel?"
As he spoke, he pointed at his son and said with a smile,"My son likes to watch these kinds of nonsense. Maybe you won't like it.”
He had thought that by being so enthusiastic and mentioning his son, the couple would follow his words and start the process of paying attention to his son. Who knew…
The man didn't care that he was watching the sports channel. He said embarrassedly,
"No, we like to watch these too.”
“？？？”
Lu Hedong was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
You came here to watch sports at night?
You're not playing by the rules.
"Are you really not changing the channel?" Lu Hedong still wanted to salvage the situation.
"No thanks!" This time, it wasn't just the man who rejected him. Even the woman rejected him at the same time. That decisiveness almost made him vomit blood.
At this moment, his son said," Dad, stop arguing. The competition is about to start.”
Competition?
Oh, my son seems to like watching basketball games.
At the thought of this, his face turned red and he returned to his chair to lie down again.
Unexpectedly, his son asked him to be quiet, but he asked the couple curiously,"So you guys like to watch NBA games too?”
“NBA？”The man was stunned for a moment and immediately replied,"Yes, yes, yes. We like to watch it too.”
"Really? Which team do you like to watch? Is it our home team's warrior?" Lu Hedong's son continued to ask.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's this warrior.”The man still replied ambiguously, then said,"Before my son left, he told us to look at this.”
"Is that so?"
"What does your son do?"
Lu Hedong saw that not only was his son not praised, but his interest was piqued. He asked what his son did for a living. He was dumbfounded.
Son, what's wrong with you?
Don't change the guest of honor's position. Be more reserved, hey.
However, the three people in front of him did not see his gloomy expression. They were still immersed in their conversations and television.
Just as the man was about to answer, the Warriors were preparing for their first regular season match against the Suns on TV. The lineup of both teams appeared.
The man seemed to have noticed something. He subconsciously pointed at the Chinese players warming up on the TV and said,"Look, that's my son!"
"He plays basketball!"
"What?" Lu Hedong's son stood up in shock." He's your son?”
