“Mom, I’m back!”

With Lin Lei’s call, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron soon walked out of the back kitchen.

She is Lin Lei’s mother, Li Yangqing.

Although Li Yangqing is over forty years old, there is still a spirit between his eyebrows.

It can be seen that it was also a beauty billet back then, but it was still left by the years with traces of vicissitudes.

Seeing that his son finally returned, Li Yangqing’s somewhat tired face also bloomed with a bright smile:

“Why did you come back so late, I heard that the finals are not over early?

I’m hungry, I specially prepared a cake to wish you a happy birthday! ”

As he spoke, Li Yangqing returned to the back kitchen and carefully brought out a cake with 18 candles on it.

Looking at the cake brought by his mother, Lin Lei’s heart was also full of warmth.

This big boy, who is still strong and calm in the face of Kobe and those street villains, unconsciously has a little moist eyes at this moment.

It turned out that today was Lin Lei’s 18th birthday.

Lin Lei’s life in the United States is not ideal, he spent it in China from birth to junior high school, where there is his complete youth and childhood.

Dad and Mom ran a breakfast shop together at the time, and his life was pretty good, everything changed a few years ago.

Lin Lei’s father suddenly fell ill and was found to be in the advanced stage of lung cancer, a disease that has almost no treatment in China and can only wait for death.

When there was no way, Li Yangqing learned from his brother, who opened a restaurant in the United States, that some institutions in the United States had special drugs that were still in the development stage.

Hearing this news, she resolutely decided to sell all her family property to save her husband, so the family crossed the ocean to the United States.

But in the face of disease, human beings are weak after all, especially the treatment methods that have not yet been put into the clinic cannot be reimbursed, and the price is still very expensive.

It didn’t take long for the savings over the years to be completely empty, and Lin Lei’s father finally passed away.

Not only did it come with the pain of the separation of loved ones, but also a series of expenses that made the family worse.

Not counting the lenders, my uncle alone owes $200,000.

Even so, Li Yangqing did not fall because of this.

She knows that her son Lin Lei has not yet grown up, and she is the only hope for the family.

So he stayed to work part-time to pay off debts while using his meager income to support Lin Lei’s education.

Although the vision is beautiful, it is not easy for Chinese to study abroad.

Just one year’s study abroad expenses require a year’s income from middle-class families, not to mention debt-laden families like Lin Lei.

In order to let Lin Lei go to school, Li Yangqing began to increase her workload, and she alone shouldered the plates of the entire Chinese Street restaurant.

This is also due to the high labor costs in the United States, so Li Yangqing’s income has finally begun to grow.

However, the daily workload also reached a staggering eighteen hours.

For his mother’s hard work, Lin Lei saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

After some weighing, he resolutely decided to give up his studies and work with his mother to pay off debts.

At first, Li Yangqing did not agree with his son’s decision, but he could not stand Lin Lei’s insistence.

In the end, he reluctantly agreed, and decided to pay off the debt and return to China with his son to re-study.

So Lin Lei delivered food throughout the city during the day, and washed dishes with his mother at night to help her share the work.

Finally, it was Lin Lei’s 18th birthday, and Li Yangqing felt that he had to give his son a rite of passage.

This saved him money and exchanged a ticket to the NBA Finals for him, fulfilling Lin Lei’s dream of coming to Los Angeles for several years – to watch an NBA game with his own eyes.

Li Yangqing would never have thought that it was this decision that completely changed the fate of their mother and son.

Although the cake is small, it is full of mother’s love, and this is the sweetest cake Lin Lei has ever eaten.

“Son, you go back to your uncle’s house to sleep first, tomorrow morning I have to deliver food, the plates here, I will finish it myself quickly.”

After eating the cake, seeing that the sky was almost dawning, Li Yangqing felt sorry for Lin Lei and planned to let his son go home to rest first.

Who knew that Lin Lei heard this, but shook his head with a smile: “Mom, from today onwards, we won’t have to work so hard anymore.” ”

“What’s wrong? Silly child, mom knows that you feel sorry for me.

If you don’t finish brushing these plates, tomorrow at dawn, the boss won’t have to use it! ”

“You still don’t understand, I mean, just leave the debt to me!”

Speaking of this, Lin Lei’s expression was full of confident smiles.

“Hmph~”

Who knew that his words did not fall, and a cold snort suddenly came from the restaurant.

A middle-aged woman walked in, first looked at the plate in the back kitchen, and then came to Lin Lei and Li Yangqing, and said with some dissatisfaction:

“It’s a big deal, if you really have the money, pay back that ticket first!”

Really, obviously I owe a debt, and let my son watch what finals, isn’t this pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? ”

That’s right, this middle-aged woman with a bad face is the lady of this Chinese restaurant!
