Chapter 108 Mom is Sick
Chairman Kamogawa looked at everyone's shocked expressions at his news with satisfaction, and continued with a smile: "Next, I will tell you the last piece of news.
In order to build momentum for the boxing championship match between Yingcun and Gaolang Wensawado, the Rookie King final between Luo Hao and Yamamoto Kazuo was selected as the warm-up match for this match.
The venue will be Ryogoku Kokugikan, Japan’s highest-level sports venue.”
He turned his head and looked at Luo Hao, "Haha! Kid, this time you are taking advantage of Eagle Village. That's Ryogoku Kokugikan, the holy land of martial arts in Japan!
Perform well and don’t let us down.”
Luo Hao's mood today was like a roller coaster, and he was shocked again by the news.
He recalled that when he first came into contact with boxing, the live video he watched was the match between Senior Takamura and Brian Hawke, which took place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.
Now, he actually has the opportunity to compete in that place, which makes him feel both excited and nervous.
Yingcun Shou can be said to be half of his guide. Although the two have never met before, Luo Hao is full of respect for him.
He was eager to meet this senior known as the Great Devil and learn more from him.
After the training, Luo Hao returned home happily.
He walked into the store shouting "Mom, I'm back!"
However, he called out several times but no one responded.
So he went into the kitchen to check.
I saw Li Yuexiu sitting on a bench, her hands leaning on the workbench, and she seemed to be asleep.
Luo Hao called out softly: "Mom!"
Li Yuexiu then slowly raised her head, and she did not look very well.
She gently tucked her hair behind her ears, trying to make herself look more energetic.
Seeing this, Luo Hao hurried to her side and asked with concern: "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yuexiu smiled and shook her head, saying, "Luo Hao is back. I'm just a little tired, so I'm just taking a nap here. Don't worry."
Luo Hao clenched his fists, looking a little excited, "Mom! Listen to me, my Rookie King finals will be held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan!
Moreover, as the warm-up match for the World Boxing Championship, the media attention will be very high!"
Li Yuexiu showed a warm smile and said softly: "Great, Mom is proud of you!
You must be fully motivated this time to win this game and bring glory to our Chinatown."
When Luo Hao heard his mother's words, he nodded vigorously, "Yes! Mom, don't worry, I will do my best." After that, he turned around and ran upstairs.
The next day, at the Kamogawa Boxing Gym, on the boxing ring, Coach Muronouchi was guiding Luo Hao to practice hitting the target.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"under!"
Luo Hao's fists moved quickly following the coach's instructions and his reactions were extremely sensitive.
"Bang!" The fist hit the target.
"Very good!" Coach Murunouchi nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Manager Yagi suddenly rushed out of the office. He looked panicked and shouted towards the ring: "Luo Hao!"
Luo Hao turned around immediately after hearing this and said, "Manager Yagi, what's the matter?"
Manager Yagi's face was covered with sweat, and he shouted anxiously: "The hospital just called and said that your mother..."
Luo Hao's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked anxiously: "What happened to my mother?"
Manager Yagi took a deep breath and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard that your mother suddenly fainted."
Luo Hao immediately took off his boxing gloves, turned around and ran to the hospital.
In the corridor of Tokyo Taketate General Hospital, a nurse was leading Luo Hao to the ward, "I just gave your mother an IV, she is still in a coma.
The doctor said she might need to be hospitalized for observation for a while.”
"Be hospitalized?" Luo Hao's voice trembled slightly when he heard the nurse's words.
The female nurse nodded and explained to Luo Hao: "I heard that she fainted while cooking in the kitchen. It might be anemia caused by overwork.
It seems that her long-term accumulated fatigue has overwhelmed her body, and she needs some time to rest."
"Crack!"
The nurse pushed open the door of a ward and Luo Hao walked in.
He looked at his mother who was still in a coma and fell into deep self-blame.
"Mom..." Luo Hao called softly, tears welling up in his eyes, "I'm sorry for making you so tired...
I fainted at work..."
Images of his mother working in the kitchen emerged in Luo Hao's mind, each one clear and vivid.
He recalled how his mother always urged him to go to the gym with a smile, telling him not to worry about himself and that he would be fine on his own.
Now, my mother was lying quietly on the bed, motionless.
Luo Hao clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, "Woo woo..."
He sobbed quietly, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I'm so selfish. I only think about myself and boxing is all I can think about." Luo Hao whispered self-reproachfully.
He sat by the bed, holding his mother's hand tightly, as if trying to draw a little warmth from the cold touch.
Time passed quickly, and the next day Luo Hao ran the shop by himself. He couldn't let his own shop go bankrupt when his mother fell ill, as his mother would be very sad if she knew about that.
"boss!"
Luo Hao heard someone shouting and quickly ran out of the kitchen with a little flour on his hands, "Uncle Lin, is there any problem?"
"Haha, it turns out that today's chef is Luo Hao! Is your mother not here?" Uncle Lin asked with a smile.
"Well, she's not here today." Luo Hao replied with a smile.
"Oh, no wonder the taste is different from before, what happened to your mother?" Uncle Lin shook his head slightly, seeming a little regretful.
Luo Hao stood aside, looking a little reserved. "My mother...is not feeling well, so she needs to rest for a while."
"Ah? Is she okay?" Uncle Lin asked with concern.
Luo Hao took a deep breath and tried to look strong. "It's okay. The doctor said she needs to rest for a while, so she can't work for the time being."
"Is that so? Then you have to take good care of her." Uncle Lin nodded, then looked at Luo Hao, "So you are the chef now, right?"
Luo Hao nodded, "Yeah, yes! I'll try my best."
"Oh, I wish my son could be as filial as you." Uncle Lin said as he lowered his head and slurped the noodles in his bowl.
Luo Hao felt a little bitter when he heard Uncle Lin's praise, "Uncle Lin, I'm actually not as filial as you say...
I was always busy with my own things and neglected my mother’s health.”
Uncle Lin raised his head, looked at Luo Hao's serious expression, and said with a smile: "Kid, you are already very good.
Every time your mother mentions you, she is very happy and proud. "
After finishing his noodles, Uncle Lin stood up and prepared to leave.
When he reached the door, he whispered, "It's a pity that it doesn't taste like before."
Luo Hao hurriedly followed, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, I will try my best to learn my mother's cooking method.
Please give me some more time."
"Oh, it's okay, you've done a good job." Uncle Lin waved his hand and turned to leave.
After Uncle Lin left, Luo Hao cleaned up the dishes while starting to think about his next task.
"I have to go to the wholesale market to purchase goods at night, and get up early tomorrow morning to make bone soup. Next, I have to prepare and cut all the ingredients, and also braise the meat..." Luo Hao planned silently in his mind.
“This workload is really daunting!
I feel dazzled.
Mom has to do such hard work every day and also wash my clothes!
I can’t complain anymore, I must do it well, I must…”
