Chapter 167 Walnut City
After the Lake Yong battle, the Lakers once again ushered in a three-day rest period.During the Thanksgiving Day period, according to the usual practice, the NBA does not arrange games, and all players have a day off.
Thanksgiving is a traditional western festival, which is held on the fourth Thursday in November every year.Every Thanksgiving Day, every family in the United States will have a delicious meal based on turkey and pumpkin pie to celebrate the rare reunion.
Xu Tian is from the East and has never celebrated Thanksgiving, but he learned from Li Lang that he can do community care activities on this day, so he happily prepared for it.
Boss Jin's family has lived in the United States for decades, and they have already gone to do as the Romans do, but Alice wants to do caring activities with Xu Tian, leaving only Boss Jin and his wife at home.They had to do it themselves, preparing a turkey dinner for the family to eat in the evening.
Li Lang also wanted to personally experience the NBA care activities, so he was willing to be the driver of this trip, driving Xu Tian and Alice to Walnut City in Los Angeles.
Xu Tian had heard of several well-known Chinese settlements, including Hetao City and Fatty Ding Square, and Hetao City was inexplicably more attractive to him.As for why he likes Walnut City, Xu Tian can't give an answer, maybe it's just because of its unique name.
Walnut was once selected as one of the 100 best living cities in the United States, of which only 3 cities in California were selected, and Walnut ranked first.
There are more than 3 residents in Walnut City, of which Asian Americans and Chinese account for the vast majority, and whites are slightly more than African Americans, but only a small proportion.
This affluent city on rolling hills is quiet compared to its neighbors.Walnut hosts the annual Walnut Family Festival every year.On the first day of the festival, several streets in the city are closed in the morning, and local clubs and groups pair up for a parade.
Li Lang's speed was not fast, which gave Xu Tian the conditions to appreciate the beauty of Los Angeles.He leaned lazily on the back seat of the car, watching the tall buildings that kept moving backward and getting lower and lower, and he knew that he was getting farther and farther away from the bustling city center.
The residents of Walnut City didn't know that Xu Tian would come, and they were preparing Thanksgiving dinner according to the usual practice.
The car turned into the parking lot next to Lemon Street, and Xu Tian and Alice got out of the car.
Li Feng had just finished shopping for his parents from the department store. On the way back, he happened to see Xu Tian and Alice getting off the car. He drove the car into the parking lot in surprise.
Xu Tian looked at the trunk lid of the old-fashioned Beetle, which was raised high by various vegetables and meat, completely unaware that this car was coming towards him.It wasn't until Li Feng got out of the car that he realized it.
Li Feng probably knew that Xu Tian was related to his entry into the Bruins team, but he didn't have any definite news, and he didn't dare to thank him hastily. Instead, he asked a little awkwardly: "Xu Tian, why did you come to Walnut City?"
"Li Lang received the NBA's official caring event, and the location is in Walnut City." Xu Tian simply replied to Li Feng.
"Are you going to wait here?" Li Feng looked up at the cloudy sky, "It may rain today, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience here."
Li Lang saw Xu Tian talking to a young man who was about his height, locked the car and walked over, and after seeing Li Feng's face clearly, he asked curiously: "Aren't you a college student at UCLA? How did you come to Walnut City?"
"My family lives here." Li Feng looked at Li Lang with a smile, "I want to invite you to my house for lunch, do you have enough time?"
Li Lang looked at his watch and confirmed that there were still two hours before the appointed time, and jokingly said: "If you start cooking now, maybe it will be in time."
Li Feng didn't take this as a joke, excitedly took out the car keys from his trouser pocket, and said as he walked, "No problem, I'm sure I'll let you eat delicious Chinese food. Come with me!"
Li Lang and Xu Tian looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes, but now that they had spoken, they had no choice but to get back in the car and follow Li Feng's Beetle to his home.
Li Feng's parents are rich - this is Xu Tian's conclusion after seeing his house.
After Li Feng and Li Lang drove the car into the flat and open parking lot, Xu Tiancai had the opportunity to take a closer look at the elegant villa next to him.The flying eaves of the carved and painted buildings, the glazed tiles arranged in rows, and the modern large floor-to-ceiling glass windows make the whole building reveal a strong flavor of combining Chinese and Western styles.
For some reason, Xu Tian remembered the villa he had seen in the city center.
In the corner of the courtyard of Li Feng's house, there was a German shepherd dog with young red roots. At this time, it was sticking out its tongue and looking at Xu Tian. Maybe it knew that this was a distinguished guest, so it didn't even have the courage to bark.
Xu Tian looked at the shepherd dog for a while, then turned around to see Li Feng pulling out a small trailer similar to a luggage cart from the trunk, and walked over to help him carry the cold vegetables and meat.
Li Feng's father and mother were sitting in the living room, waiting for their son to buy the vegetables. They saw Xu Tian through the floor-to-ceiling windows by chance, and asked at the same time, "Is that Xu Tian?"
The couple looked at each other, then quickly got up from the sofa, and took the initiative to come to the courtyard to meet Xu Tian.
Li Feng's father is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. He looks at least seven or eight points like Li Feng. The first sentence he said when he walked out of the main entrance was, "Why didn't Billy call you today? It was called Billy in the past. The worst."
Billy was the collie in the corner.It heard the male master say its name, and looked at him with two round eyes, its big tail like a feather duster kept wagging from side to side.
Li Feng was pulling the small trailer, but he still did not forget to say excitedly: "Dad! Mom! Xu Tian is here!"
Hearing Li Feng's aggravated tone, Xu Tian was suddenly at a loss.He has always considered himself an athlete and doesn't like others to treat him like a star.
Li Feng's father wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked very gentle. He took the initiative to walk down the steps in front of the door, stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Xu Tian, and introduced: "Xu Tian, hello. My name is Li Wenjie." , is Xiaofeng's father."
Xu Tian shook Li Wenjie's hand and replied, "I'm Xu Tian."
Li Feng's mother was still standing on the platform and said, "Come in! Talk in the living room."
Only then did Li Wenjie realize his impoliteness, and hurriedly invited Xu Tian, Alice, and Li Lang to the living room.
Xu Tian originally wanted to help Li Feng move vegetables and meat into the house, but after he refused in every possible way, he went into the living room with Li Wenjie and his wife.
Li Feng's mother took out the Kung Fu tea set from the kitchen and placed it on the glass coffee table in the middle of the living room, ready to make tea for Xu Tian.
Xu Tian was very interested in such traditional things, but he didn't refuse.
