Chapter 062: German Summer
The summer of 2006 was still a summer of football. The World Cup was ignited in Germany, and the eyes of the world were on the distant continent of Europa.
In this World Cup, the Chinese team did not qualify, so the people of Hong Kong City are not as fanatical as they were four years ago, and no one comes to the wonton restaurant to watch the game. However, the young man who repaired the TV at a critical moment four years ago is still talked about by his neighbors.
And these discussions only made the Qiao family feel sad, because no matter how much they discussed, that teenager would not watch the ball game at home.
Qiao Lin has not yet had a summer vacation, so she doesn't dare to stay up late to watch the game, and she listens to the heated discussions among her male classmates every day, and she listens to it so much that she is itching. What's more, my brother is a big fan of German tanks.
Among the three children of the Qiao family, only Qiao Lu is not a fanatical fan, she belongs to the category of "can see the doorway, but will not go to watch it specifically";
When they were young, they didn't know much about foreign teams, and they couldn't receive so many stations, and they spent most of their time watching the games of the Taishan team. When he grew up, Qiao Nan fell in love with the German team, and he admired the rigorous and tenacious style of the German team the most, as well as the way of playing by relying on the overall battle;
In 2006, Italy's reputation in international football plummeted due to the "Phonegate" scandal, and many people were not optimistic about the team. The male classmates in the class kept discussing that coach Lippi had abandoned the conservative style of play in the past and let the stronger players directly confront the opponent, which was unimaginable in the past. As a result, after the opening of the World Cup, many people even predicted that the Italian team might become the favorite to win the championship this time.
Jolene didn't have the energy to focus on their tactics, she only cared about how well the players were performing, especially her beloved Prince Totti of Rome. Other than that, her main focus is, of course, Kaka. In 2002, the teenager who only played ten minutes has become the mainstay of the Brazilian team in a blink of an eye. Although she is not a fan of the Brazilian team, she also follows the dynamics of the Brazilian team because of Kaka.
When Jolene was a student, many of the boys in the class were fans of Kaka, which made her very happy. However, boys and girls definitely have different concerns. The boys prefer to analyze Kaka's technical characteristics, and Jolene pays more attention to whether Kaka's movements are handsome, whether he is injured, and his private life off the field. So while the boys were discussing, Jolene blinked and listened.
"This Brazil can't do it, look at what Da Luo has become fat, where can he still run?"
"I don't think the cooperation between Xiao Luo and Kaka is not good, Xiao Luo has already achieved fame and has no desire to attack, and Kaka has ideas about the World Cup, but he lacks organizational skills. ”
"Kaka is too young after all for the manager to have a strategy around him. ”
The boys were discussing hotly, and Jolene looked at this for a while, and then at that, scratching her head in disobedience, and really couldn't interject. After the boys stopped for a while, Jolene whispered: "No matter what, as long as you can score goals and assist, Kaka is a good Kaka!"
"Poof......
The boys laughed collectively, and they had to admit that the eccentric Jolene did bring a lot of fun to the boring high school life.
Of course, there are also girls who forcibly interject, such as Shen Chunxiao, who will use her unique and soft voice to easily blend into the boys' topic: "This is really a star-studded World Cup, especially the Italian team." I often wonder if I had to choose, whether I would support the depressed Italian team or the sad Argentina team. ”
Beautifulness and gentleness are almost the best ecstasy, as soon as Shen Chunxiao participated, the group of big men who were blushing and thick-necked just now immediately nodded their heads unprincipledly.
Jolene sighed silently - this year's Italian stars are dim enough, where is the "starry star"?
She suddenly remembered the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" she watched when she was a child, in which Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang for "dare to rap here"? She really wanted to use this sentence on Shen Chunxiao, she obviously didn't understand anything, she couldn't even say a few names of football stars, but she pretended to know everything. I don't know where a few ambiguous words seem to come from, and I dare to comment in front of a bunch of fans.
What's even more odious is that those big pigs' trotters actually meet her?
Hum!
Jolene grimaced at them.
On the day of Germany's first victory, Jolene sent a message to her brother: "Germany has won. ”
It took several hours for her brother to reply, "I already knew." This comrade, your information is not very timely!"
Qiao Lin crooked the corners of her mouth angrily, and pressed the keyboard harder: "It's you who saw it too late!"
"Someone told me two or three hours before you. Little comrade, keep up the good work!"
Jolene was very unconvinced, but after thinking about it, my brother has a girlfriend, isn't it normal for his girlfriend to tell him the results of the game?
Annoying!
Qiao Lin kicked the table opposite in annoyance, and Wei Chenglin, who was eating wildly, raised his head coldly and asked, "Sister Linlin, what's wrong with you?"
***
Wei Chenglin in front of him, perming the most fashionable ion perm, using yellow hair to show his flamboyant personality, and long bangs covering half of his eyes to hide the loneliness and helplessness of adolescence...... There was a skull of unknown material hanging from his neck, and his pants were torn with several holes.
Qiao Jianjun couldn't get used to his virtue for a long time, and almost sent him to Lao Dong's house by the ear and shaved his small flat head. Wei Chenglin stared at half of his eyes, and said with great melancholy: "Uncle Qiao, can you understand my loneliness?"
"What's that?"
"Forget it, no one understands. Wei Chenglin first looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, pondered for a while, and then continued to lower his head, hesitant and melancholy.
"It's so idle!" Qiao Jianjun kicked him in the ass, too lazy to take care of him.
***
Now, Qiao Lin and Wei Chenglin are sitting together to eat, and as soon as Qiao Lin is unhappy, Wei Chenglin is very nervous. His head resembles a yellow mushroom, and half of his eyes are hidden in his bangs.
When Qiao Lin saw it, she was even more anxious: "Cheng Lin, don't you have your hair piercing your eyes?"
"I'm used to it, occasionally my eyes hurt, reminding me that I'm alive. Wei Chenglin smiled tiredly, trying his best to pretend to see through the trivial things in the world.
Qiao Lin got goosebumps: "Cheng Lin, what's wrong with you? Don't be like this, it's scary." ”
Wei Chenglin sneered indifferently and continued to look down at the MP3. That's right, it's "watching" MP3s.
The high school entrance examination is approaching, and Cheng Lin's mother, Aunt Zhao, confiscated all his electronic products and banned all his pocket money, except for leaving him an MP3. There is an MP3 in the air, can Wei Chenglin do anything bad?
Adults are sometimes too naïve and completely underestimate children's imagination.
Wei Chenglin used this MP3 to download a large number of online novels. Qiao Lin was surprised and asked, how did he do it? Wei Chenglin said without surprise: "Divide the good novel into several parts, save it in TXT format, and then drag it into the MP3 'lyrics' folder, so that you can read it." However, the MP3 screen is too small, you can only read two or three lines at a time, and there is no bookmark function, so it is best to read it all at once. Otherwise, the next time you open it, you will have to turn it up again and it will take a long time!"
Jolene smacked her tongue in surprise and exclaimed, "How did you come up with these ideas?"
"Cut, what can stump me? My mother is so naïve that she thinks that everything will be fine if she doesn't let me go online? I have a way to deal with her!" When talking about these things, Wei Chenglin's eyebrows fluttered, where was he like the depressed and decadent teenager just now?
"Aunt Zhao has said that if you continue to mix like this, you will have to enter the juvenile detention center sooner or later! It is better to wait until you reach the age of seventeen, and then put you into the army to beat you for a few years, and see if you understand or not!"
Qiao Lin deliberately intimidated him, but Wei Chenglin didn't care at all, he proudly showed his right wrist, which had a very dazzling rose tattoo on it. He said: "This is specifically against my mother, as long as I have a tattoo, which army can want me?"
Qiao Lin couldn't help but sigh, if you can put all your energy into studying, or use it to play the piano, you must be great now! It's a pity that these words have been said to Cheng Lin countless times, and Qiao Lin has said them many times. She knew that it was useless to talk more, it would only aggravate Cheng Lin's rebellious mentality, so she stopped nagging.
It's Sunday noon, and the wonton shop has a lot of customers. After eating, Cheng Lin got up and said goodbye. Jolene asked him where he was going, and he smiled mysteriously, "Where else do you think I can go?"
"You're going to an Internet café again?"
“Bingo!”
Wei Chenglin smiled brightly, but Qiao Lin suddenly pulled down her face, buckled her chopsticks on the table, and asked, "You still have a few days to take the high school entrance examination, even if you don't go to the Internet café in the next few days, can't you?"
Wei Chenglin said with a hippie smile: "If you don't go for a day, you will die." ”
"Where did you get the money?"
"My grandmother gave it secretly, how could my grandmother let me have no money?" Wei Chenglin said very calmly, he didn't worry about Qiao Lin going to sue his mother at all. He also pointed to the young men who killed Matt like him outside, and said, "See, those are all my buddies! If I really run out of money, they won't stand idly by." ”
The teenagers were wearing leggings and T-shirts with exaggerated patterns. What's even more striking is their hair, colorful, like the colorful neon hanging on the trees during the festival.
When Jolene saw them, she just sighed, "What's so good about being with them?
"No, they don't look at them in school, but they're all very righteous! Wei Chenglin said, he was moved by his true feelings, and it seemed that he really regarded them as brothers.
"......" Qiao Lin was speechless for a while, her chest rose and fell in anger, and asked, "What about Sun Ruiyang?
Wei Chenglin lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether he appreciates the light and plays with me, where do I dare to climb him high now?
After saying this, Wei Chenglin quickly jumped out of the wonton restaurant, leaving Qiao Lin looking at him in a daze. In a trance, he was still the playful red panda he used to be, but in the blink of an eye, he had grown into a thin and tall young man.
"Chenglin, Chenglin, what are you going to do?"
