Lin Feng and Snyder were on their way home, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, their figures stretching long on the street.
Snyder stood at the door, a peculiar smile on his face, his eyes full of mischief and anticipation. He reached out, gently stopping Lin Feng, and said with a smile, "Guess who's waiting for you at home?"
Lin Feng looked at Snyder's beaming expression, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart. He knew that Snyder's smile must be hiding a surprise. Lin Feng's heart quickened, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation. He took a deep breath, then bravely pushed open the door.
The door slowly opened, and the living room lights instantly filled the entire space. Lin Feng immediately saw his mother sitting on the sofa, her figure appearing exceptionally soft and warm in the light. When his mother saw Lin Feng, a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on her face, her eyes full of longing and care for her son.
Lin Feng was deeply touched by this scene, his eyes moistened, and an inexpressible emotion surged in his heart. He walked quickly over and hugged his mother tightly, as if to pour all his longing and love into this embrace. He whispered, "Mom, why are you here? You've worked so hard!"
His mother gently stroked Lin Feng's head and said softly, "Son, Mom missed you. I know you've been working hard out there, fighting for your dreams. When I heard you were going to play for the National Team this time, Mom was truly proud of you. I specifically came to see you, wanting to share this joy with you."
Listening to his mother's words, Lin Feng's heart surged with emotion like a tide. He knew that this maternal love was his most precious treasure, and also the driving force for him to keep moving forward. He hugged his mother tightly, as if to pour all his gratitude and love into this deep embrace.
Snyder, standing nearby, witnessed the deep and touching embrace between Lin Feng and his mother, and his eyes also sparkled with a warm light. He stood there quietly, as if becoming the guardian of this warm scene.
As Lin Feng and his mother gradually separated from their embrace, Snyder stepped forward and said with a smile and a gentle tone, "Lin Feng, the club has already deposited your salary into my account. This time when I went back, I took the liberty of using your salary to pay off all the debts your family owed, haha, you won't blame me, will you? From now on, you and your mother can get rid of the pressure of those debts and embrace a brand new life."
His mother also heard Snyder's words. She widened her eyes, looking at Snyder, tears of gratitude sparkling in her eyes. She tightly held Lin Feng's hand and said with a trembling voice, "Is this true? Are all our debts paid off? Thank you so much, Snyder!"
Snyder smiled and shook his head, saying sincerely, "You don't need to thank me, this is Lin Feng's hard-earned salary. I just helped him deal with the debt issue. Now, you and your mother can get rid of those worries and live a better life."
Snyder looked at Lin Feng's grateful eyes, and a warmth also surged in his heart. He knew that everything he had done was worth it. He gently patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Lin Feng, you are my proudest player. I believe you will show your worth in the National Team and bring glory to the country. Work hard, don't disappoint me!"
After the excitement and joy gradually subsided, Lin Feng began to show his mother around the villa where he lived. They walked through each room, and Lin Feng meticulously introduced the style and lighting conditions of each one.
"Mom, this is the living room, spacious and bright. The floor-to-ceiling windows design fills the entire space with natural light," Lin Feng said to his mother, standing in the living room and pointing to the beautiful scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
His mother looked around, her eyes filled with admiration and praise. She gently stroked the sofa and furniture, and said with emotion, "Son, you've really grown up, and you have such a spacious and comfortable home. Mom is proud of you."
Lin Feng smiled, holding his mother's hand and continuing the tour. They walked through the spacious and bright dining room, the warm and comfortable bedroom, and the well-equipped gym. Lin Feng carefully introduced every detail to his mother, sharing snippets of his life.
When they reached a spacious and bright bedroom, Lin Feng stopped and looked at his mother seriously, saying, "Mom, I hope you can stay with me here. This room has excellent lighting and a large balcony where you can sunbathe, read, or plant flowers and plants. I want to live with you and take care of you."
Then, Lin Feng turned to Snyder, asking him to help book a return ticket for his mother. He said, "Snyder, my mother hasn't returned to our country since I went abroad in my childhood. I want her to go back and see the changes in our hometown. Please help arrange it."
Snyder nodded in agreement, stating that he would immediately book a ticket for Lin Feng's mother. He deeply understood Lin Feng's filial piety and care for his mother, and was willing to do his part for their family.
Afterward, Lin Feng led his mother into the villa's kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped, clean, and tidy. His mother looked at this unfamiliar kitchen, a hint of nostalgia and familiarity flashing in her eyes.
She gently stroked the kitchen counter and said to Lin Feng with a smile, "Son, it's been a long time since you've had Mom's cooking, hasn't it?"
Lin Feng stood beside his mother, his eyes sparkling with a warm light. He gently held his mother's hand and said softly, "Mom, I really miss your cooking. No matter how good the food I eat outside is, it can't compare to your taste."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, his mother's eyes sparkled with tears of emotion. She gently patted Lin Feng's hand and said with a smile, "Alright then, today Mom will cook and let you taste my skills."
With that, his mother turned and walked to the cabinet, taking out an apron from inside. She skillfully tied on the apron and began to prepare ingredients and seasonings. Her movements were practiced and nimble, as if years of culinary skill had been integrated into her bones.
Before long, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of cooking. Lin Feng stood by, smelling the familiar and comforting scent, his heart full of anticipation and gratitude.
Finally, after his mother's careful cooking, a series of delicious dishes, excellent in color, aroma, and taste, were successively brought to the dining table. The dining room lights were soft and warm, illuminating the colorful delicacies on the table, and also illuminating the smiles on Lin Feng and his mother's faces.
Lin Feng and his mother sat around the dining table, their figures appearing exceptionally warm and harmonious in the light. Lin Feng looked at the dishes in front of him, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of his mother's specially made braised pork, and put it into his mouth. The familiar and comforting taste instantly exploded on his tongue, making him close his eyes involuntarily to savor it.
Watching Lin Feng eat his food with a satisfied expression, Lin's mother looked at Lin Feng with a loving maternal smile. She felt that the value of this moment was priceless.
