Chapter 20 Returning the Handwritten Letter
From that day on, Peel disappeared from their sight and went to nowhere. Even Porter and Anda never appeared on the court again.

And since that day, Louis has been a basketball master, responsible for teaching Smart, Saines, Paul, Jones, Neil and children to play. He can earn more than 20 dollars a day. Under his careful training, Neil His game skills are also improving day by day, and the other children are also playing more and more confidently. They dare to dribble for a layup, dare to face the high basket directly, and make a decisive shot. This move of Louis soon spread throughout the whole world. The slums spread, and many parents were willing to pay their children to teach them how to play, but Louis thought that there were too many people and he was afraid that one person would have limited energy, so he refused, but he promised those parents that he would let them play basketball every day. Come to the stadium in the afternoon to watch them play, or you can form a team to challenge the kids he taught, and teach them offensive and shooting skills.

For this, Louis attracted the attention of a large section of the ghetto.

In a blink of an eye, it was Neil's fifth birthday. On his fifth birthday, Louis bought a birthday cake for his son, and asked all the friends who practiced basketball with Neil to celebrate Neil's birthday.

The room was filled with bursts of lively atmosphere, you looked at your father, mother and partners, with a happy smile on your lips, and bowed to everyone present: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, and all the brothers present, I love you all!"

Everyone looked at him and shook their heads.

Nuana and Louis stepped forward to hug him: "Child, in the blink of an eye, you have been in this world for five years. During these five years, our family has encountered all kinds of hardships and difficulties. Our family has survived, but You also went to school early in front of us more than once. We feel very sorry for you for this matter. You will be five years old from today. If we can't help you with this matter this year, then we are indeed a failure. .”

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to blame yourself. Neil also has something wrong. He knows that it is not easy for our family to survive, but he still makes such harsh demands."

Smart, Seines, Paul, Jones and other children listened to this touching conversation, tears suddenly welled up and kept rolling in their eyes. Since they couldn't help, they dared not look directly The kind-hearted Louis and Nuana didn't dare to face Neil.

After a while, Neil fully understood the pain in his parents' hearts at the moment, so he forced a smile and said, "Mom and Dad, it's okay, as long as you can play ball, you can read this book or not."

Saines, Smart, Paul, Jones and the children also looked at the heavy expressions of Louis and Nuana, and wanted to ease the oppressive atmosphere in the room at this time, so they quickly changed the subject with a smile and said: "By the way, Uncle , Auntie, Neil finally survived until his fifth birthday, and you bought him a birthday cake, then we will light candles, cut the cake, sing birthday songs for him, and let him walk through this childhood and childhood happily. dividing line."

Nuana looked at the children, then at Louis and Neil, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the children are right!"

When the birthday song was sung from the children, Neil's face was filled with joy and happiness that he had never felt before.

Just when the room was covered with bursts of cheerful, heart-touching, beautiful, and blessed birthday songs, there were bursts of hasty knocks on the door.

The knocking on the door instantly ended all of Neil's happiness, the singing stopped abruptly, and the room fell silent.

Nuana looked at the children who suddenly stopped singing, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go and have a look, continue."

The children continued to sing the birthday song: "Happy birthday to you..."

Nuana opened the door, and it turned out to be the neighbor's uncle, so she hurriedly said with a friendly smile, "Master, do you want to come in and celebrate Neil's fifth birthday with us?"

"Oh... Unexpectedly, this kid is already five years old, and time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, he should go to school."

Nuana bowed her head in silence for a while, sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, time flies, but our life feels like years."

"Anna, it's wrong to think like this. Life is full of surprises and touches, but you just didn't pay attention to it. At my age, I haven't experienced anything. Be optimistic. You have to believe that God must have His will for such an arrangement. reason."

Nuana didn't expect the old man to come at this moment, and she didn't know why, but what the old man said was really meaningful, and Nuana didn't care about his intention of knocking on the door, she just nodded in response to the old man saying That's right.

"Okay, actually, I'm here to disturb you to celebrate Neil's birthday. It was a white man named Mills downstairs who asked me to tell you that he was waiting for Louis downstairs."

When Nuana heard about Mills, it suddenly occurred to her that it was that villain again. What was he doing here? Did he want to make our family worse?

After finishing speaking, the old man saw that Nuana was in a trance, quite ugly, with a heavy, pensive expression, he sighed lightly, and shook his head: "Okay, Anna, take my words with you, I'm going downstairs, I personally I think that although the white man doesn't look like a kind person, he might be able to help you with the difficulties in front of you."

"Master, are you really not going in? You guys are having a lot of fun."

"No, you have fun."

"Okay, thank you, then go slowly!"

Nuana didn't close the door, but hurriedly walked in front of Louis, with a dignified expression and a look of urgency, reached out and grabbed Louis by the side, and walked towards the bedroom.

Neil and the children present didn't know what happened. Since the adults didn't want them to know, they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they could only continue playing their cake-smearing game.

A few minutes after Nuana called Louis into the bedroom, the two came out together, smiling feigned joy at the cream-smeared children.

Afterwards, Louis closed the door and went downstairs to see Mills.

Mills kept looking toward the stairs, waiting for Louis, and finally 10 minutes later, Louis came down the stairs.

He hurried over, looked at Luis and said with a smile, "Louis, good guy, you can actually resign from me and become a basketball coach."

"Mills, you are not driven to a dead end by you, you are forced to make a living, and you have no choice but to make such a bad move."

"By the way, are you here today? If not, I have to go first, because today is my son's fifth birthday. As his father, I have to offer him my most sincere blessings." Louis continued.

"Oh... really? Unexpectedly, time flies so fast. It has been a year in a blink of an eye. Last year when he was four years old, you begged me to find him a school, but you stayed up late and worked overtime, and you couldn't have a good meal with him." Dinner, and today, the birthday song upstairs is very pleasant to the ear, full of children's laughter, it seems that it is different from last year, and it seems to be developing in the direction of happiness."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Louis listened to the words in his words, his face was full of confusion, and he had almost no patience for people like Mills, so he asked in a stronger tone.

"I came here today to tell you that your son can go to Wentz Primary School in the new semester. As for the tuition fee, the school will apply for a full bursary for him, and you can also go to Wentz Primary School as a physical education teacher and basketball coach. As for Salary package, five hundred dollars per month."

"Are you kidding me?" Louis said with a smirk, not believing Mills' words.

Mills did not answer his question directly, but took out a letter from the principal of Wentz Elementary School from his pocket and handed it to Louis.

Louis opened it and read it. He was very excited, but he was not overwhelmed by the sudden joy. He stared at Mills, looked him up and down, returned the letter to Mills, and said with a smile: " You go back and say thank you to the principal for me, but I can't accept his kindness and kindness, because back then, we were a family of three, just outside his office, and he always looked at our family with his back, especially contemptuous of us, You don't look down on us at all, you don't know how to respect us at all, and after a year, you suddenly asked us to send us a letter in your own hand, what kind of medicine you bought in this gourd, it's really hard to figure out."

"Louis, are you sure you want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? You have to think twice!" Mills stared at him, reminding him in a serious and solemn tone.

Louis looked upstairs, meaning that Nuana and Neil would both support his decision. In order to think twice, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then shook his head and refused.

"Mills, let's go, don't give it away!"

As soon as Louis finished speaking, Mills' expression was dull and unnatural. He felt that being rejected was very embarrassing, but he didn't say anything else. He just put his hands on his back and walked towards his car while thinking in his mind. No, I think you are a talent, my daughter has eyes for your son, I will not make such a self-defeating decision, to save face, you really take yourself seriously, but you refused , On the contrary, I think you have a good character. For my daughter, I will come again.
