Because Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's current salaries are still very low, they have not bought a car, and they don't have a driver's license yet, so they take a car back and forth from Milan to Parma. Yan Tao, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", didn't say anything, but Ma Junqiang complained a few words, saying that he had become a professional player, and he didn't even buy a car, which is unique among the players in Serie A.

Zhang Shujie asked him, "Did you buy it?"

"Bought it. Ma Junqiang was a little proud, because he not only knew that Zhang Shujie and Li Mu didn't have a car, but also saw that Yan Tao should also have no car. Among the four people, he belongs to the family of car owners.

Li Mu asked, "What kind of car did you buy, Ferrari or Porsche?"

"I won't tell you!" Ma Junqiang pretended to be mysterious.

Yan Tao pouted: "Maybe I didn't buy a car at all." Even if there were, they were two toy cars. ”

Ma Junqiang glared at him, but did not speak.

Ma Junqiang does have a car, but his salary is not higher than Zhang Shujie's, and there is no hope of buying a better new car. He bought a second-hand car just to make it easier for him to go to the training ground.

When the group of four arrived in Parma, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu took the two directly to Feng Kai's house.

In fact, Feng Kai's family is not lively, the parents of this old couple have passed away, and the family, including them and their children, is only four people, counting Zhang Shujie and others, a total of eight. In order to welcome the arrival of the four teenagers, Feng Kai's wife Lucia closed the restaurant early today and returned home to prepare dinner.

The doorbell outside the courtyard rang, Lucia went to open the door, and when she saw that it was Zhang Shujie and them, she opened the door with a smile.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have already met Lucia many times and have known each other for a long time. At the moment, Lucia is wearing Santa's traditional costume, but fortunately there is no beard on that face, and the two in charge do not recognize her.

"Merry Christmas, Mrs. Fung. Zhang Shujie said hello. He uses Chinese, and Lucia and Feng Kai have been married for so many years and are very interested in Chinese culture, especially the Chinese language. It is no exaggeration to say that this Italian woman speaks Chinese more fluently than many Chinese.

If it was in China, Zhang Shujie could call her "auntie" directly, but this was in Europe, so he called Feng Kai's wife "Mrs. Feng".

Lucia smiled and responded in Chinese: "Merry Christmas children, you are finally not too late." ”

"It's okay. Rushed over before dark. Zhang Shujie and his three partners said as they walked into the courtyard.

"Zhang, the two of them are your friends?"

"Let me introduce you, this is Ma Junqiang, who plays in St. Truiden, Belgium, and is half of the main force of the team, and this is Yan Tao, who plays in Vidis, the Netherlands, and is still in the development team, but after the winter break, he entered the first team. Zhang Shujie looked at the two: "This is Uncle Feng's wife, Lucia." ”

"Mrs. Feng is good. Yan Tao and Ma Junqiang also said hello. The two were a little surprised in their hearts, and they couldn't imagine that Lucia spoke Chinese so well. It's also convenient, and two teenagers who don't know Italian don't have to worry about the language barrier.

Lucia smiled and led them into the house, where two "little Santa Claus" came out. The older boy was about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was less than ten years old, and these two children were the children of Feng Kai and Lucia.

The two bear children surrounded Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, obviously they were familiar with the two teenagers. Lucia kicked them away and led the four into the house.

The house is full of decorations, including Christmas trees, balloons, streamers, candles, and more. And around the room, there were actually a bunch of small soccer balls! This was obviously a careful dress-up.

The home is also home to a model of the nativity story, which is a must-have for every family in Italy and is indispensable for every Christmas.

Li Mu looked around and asked Lucia, "Why didn't you see Uncle Feng?"

Lucia smiled mysteriously: "He'll be here in a while, you go and get busy for a while, you can sit casually." ”

Li Mu and Zhang Shujie are more casual, and they have been here many times, and they will not be polite. Ma Junqiang and Yan Tao were a little restrained, after all, it was the first time to come, and the politeness of the guests still had to be there.

Less than two minutes after sitting down, a tall red figure appeared and shouted, "Merry Christmas, children!"

The sound was so loud that it startled the four of them, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a Santa Claus appear in front of everyone's eyes, and this "old man" still had a gentle smile in his eyes.

"Uncle Feng!" Zhang Shujie and Li Mu shouted together.

Feng Kai laughed and took off his beard, took out four Christmas cards, selected two and handed them to Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and the two thanked them.

Zhang Shujie opened the Christmas card, in addition to the exquisite pictures, there was also beautiful music, which feasted the ears of the two.

The other two cards in Feng Kai's hand were for Ma Junqiang and Yan Tao. But now he only learned the names of the other two guests who were coming today from Zhang Shujie, but he didn't know who the two were who.

Li Mu shouted to the two: "Yan Tao! Ma Junqiang!"

"Huh?" the two froze for a moment.

"Ahh

The two stood up, and Yan Tao said first: "Uncle Feng, my name is Yan Tao, I used to be teammates with Zhang Shujie on the school team, and I was an opponent with Li Mu, and now I am in the ......."

"Vidis, Holland. Well, I know, this one is for you. After Feng Kai finished speaking, he sent a Christmas card to Yan Tao.

"Thank you, Uncle Feng. ”

"Ma Junqiang!" Feng Kai said: "Come, this is for you!"

Ma Junqiang took it: "Thank you Uncle Feng." ”

Feng Kai's two bear children ran in again, and Feng Kai also gave them gifts. In fact, in Italy, only these children and the elderly can usually get gifts, and it doesn't matter if adults like Zhang Shujie want to or not. But Feng Kai thought that it was the first time to celebrate the festival together, so he also gave each of the four teenagers a share.

Feng Kai separated the two children, he looked at Yan Tao and Ma Junqiang, and asked, "You two, how do you feel outside?"

Ma Junqiang said: "Everything is okay and I am looking forward to being selected for the national team as soon as possible so that I can return to Chelsea. ”

Yan Tao also said: "I will enter the first team next year, hoping to play the main team as soon as possible, and then go to a bigger club." Of course, the national team also wants to enter. ”

Feng Kai smiled and nodded: "Yes, very ambitious." It's not easy for everyone to be abroad, and it's usually busy. It's Christmas today, just relax, and you should be in your own home. By the way, did you call your family?"

Ma Junqiang and Yan Tao have both fought, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have been busy for a day, and they haven't had time yet.

Feng Kai looked at the time: "It's past five o'clock in the afternoon, according to the Italian winter time difference, the Chinese time should be around eleven o'clock in the evening, you should be in time to play now." ”

The two quickly pulled out the phone and called their parents. Ten minutes later, the two hung up the phone.

Feng Kai looked at Zhang Shujie with a treacherous smile: "You don't seem to have greeted that girl named Wang Shihan yet, right?"

Zhang Shujie was a little stunned, how could Feng Kai know about Wang Shihan's existence?

Glancing at Li Mu beside him, Li Mu looked up at the ceiling, looking "none of my business".

Ma Junqiang was a little curious and asked everyone: "Who is Wang Shihan?"

Li Mu pointed at Zhang Shujie: "You ask him." ”

Ma Junqiang moved his gaze to Zhang Shujie's face: "Who is Wang Shihan?"

"She's ......," Zhang Shujie didn't know how to describe it.

"Your girlfriend?" Ma Junqiang snatched the words.

"This ......" Zhang Shujie was in trouble.

"What are you talking about? Yes, yes, no, no. ”

"I said, what are you asking for? It has nothing to do with you. ”

"Why doesn't it matter, brother, I'm worried about your life's events. ”

Zhang Shujie said disdainfully: "My problems have not been solved." ”

"Who said it didn't work? I know a foreign girl!"

"What? Why haven't I heard you say that? Who is it? Do you have a picture? Let's see. ”

"I talked for half a month, and I rolled two laps and then divided. Hey, don't talk about me, who is Wang Shihan, hurry up and recruit from the truth. ”

Zhang Shujie began to pretend to be stupid again.

Yan Tao sat on the sofa and listened to the music of the card: "Let me talk about it." Wang Shihan is Zhang Shujie's good friend. ”

Ma Junqiang was shocked: "Zhang Shujie, you kid actually learned to pick up girls, how did you know each other." ”

Zhang Shujie didn't answer, Yan Tao continued: "In a school, Zhang Shujie used to be the main force of the school team, and Wang Shihan was the accompanying reporter of the school team......

Yan Tao gave Ma Junqiang a rough idea of what happened, and Feng Kai on the side also listened to it with relish.

After finishing speaking, Ma Junqiang stared at Zhang Shujie: "It's quite romantic." Hey, do you have any photos of Wang Shihan? ”

Zhang Shujie called up the photo on his phone: "Look." Recent photos. ”

Ma Junqiang walked to his side, and Feng Kai also walked over. Even Li Mu and Yan Tao have passed, and they haven't seen Wang Shihan for a long time, I don't know if they have changed?

The background in the photo is Wang Shihan's boudoir, it is dark outside, but there are thousands of lights, and there are two lights in the room, which was obviously taken at night. Wang Shihan leaned his back against the windowsill, revealing half of his body, and judging from the long hair hanging down from his chest, he was almost waist-high. She didn't apply any powder on her face, she had a faint smile, and under her willow eyebrows and long eyelashes, her eyes were like a river of spring water, beautiful and moving.

"Tut-tut! It's so beautiful! I can't see that you kid still has the ability to hook up with such a girl. Ma Junqiang praised.

Feng Kai also patted Zhang Shujie on the shoulder: "Very good!

Ma Junqiang snatched the phone: "Is there anything else?"

Li Mu saw him snatch the phone into his hand, and said loudly: "Hey, don't take it away! I didn't see it clearly at the wrong angle just now." ”

Yan Tao is also protesting: "You can't eat alone!"

Ma Junqiang ignored it, and just said, "Don't you know each other?"

"Can't you read it if you know it?"

"Besides, we haven't seen her in years. ”

Ma Junqiang flipped through his mobile phone, there were really many photos of Wang Shihan in it, and even Li Mu, who lived under the same roof as Zhang Shujie, didn't know where so many photos came from. Some are in the boudoir, some are cooking in the kitchen, some are in the park, and some are in the football field of Yuying Middle School. Most of the photos are solo photos, and a few are group photos with Zhou Ying and others. Among them, the most amazing thing for the three is the photo of Wang Shihan wearing a long skirt.

Looking at the clothes, the shooting time was in the summer, Zhang Shujie said, this was filmed this summer. In the photo, Wang Shihan is wearing a white long dress, walking on the beach by the sea with her head bowed slightly, and the sea breeze blows her long hair, fluttering gently. That elegant temperament and beautiful face are in no way inferior to some movie stars.

Yan Tao exclaimed: "It's so attractive when you're only seventeen years old, and in a few years, when you mature a little more, you will become more feminine." ”

Feng Kai pulled Zhang Shujie aside and asked, "That girl from Wang Shihan is really your girlfriend?"

Zhang Shujie was hesitant, and Feng Kai said again: "I see that when Ma Junqiang asked you just now, your reaction was not quite right, you shouldn't have a certain relationship, right?"

"Not really. Zhang Shujie admitted.

"Did she send you these pictures on her own initiative? Or did you ask her for them?"

"She sent it on her own initiative, and I didn't ask her for it. ”

"Then I see, you need to hurry. Zhang Shujie, I didn't say you, judging from the photos, this girl is indeed amazingly beautiful, even I think so at such an age. I think there must be quite a few suitors behind her!"

"Yes. It used to be. ”

"Then you're in a hurry. You are in a foreign country, don't be naïve enough to think that distance produces beauty. After a long time, it will only make the feelings fade. ”

"But she's only seventeen years old, and she's still a high school student......"

"Isn't it going to be eighteen next year? She's going to college, right? College is a place to fall in love. You know what I mean?"

Zhang Shujie nodded: "Understood." ”

"Take advantage of it. ”

Zhang Shujie nodded again.

It's still early, and it's far from dinner time. Lucia was busy in the kitchen alone, and it was estimated that she was busy cooking food for eight people late, Feng Kai decided to help, Li Mu, Yan Tao, and Ma Junqiang wanted to go, but they were stopped by Feng Kai and let the guests into the kitchen, which is not hospitality.

Zhang Shujie went to the side to make a call, and everyone knew who he was going to call, so he went.

Lucia asked Feng Kai, "What were you talking about?" so loudly. ”

"We are discussing Zhang Shujie's emotional problems. That kid has such a good eye. ”

"Who does he have a crush on?"

"A girl named Wang Shihan. ”

"Beautiful?"

"Yes. ”

"You're tempted too?"

"My dear, what are you talking about? God can testify for me that I love you alone. ”

"I love to hear that. When the meeting is over, I will also go to him to see the photo of the girl named Wang Shihan. ”

Zhang Shujie finished the call, and when the three friends saw him full of spring, they knew that his transnational love phone was very successful, and there was a thief smile on his face. Zhang Shujie had to pretend that he didn't see anything.

After more than two hours, the meal was finally ready. This is a typical Western-style meal, everyone has been abroad for so long, and they have eaten a lot of Western-style flavors, but today the atmosphere is different, and everything is different.

Lucia really ran to Zhang Shujie to see Wang Shihan's photos, and Zhang Shujie flipped out his phone and showed it to her. Sure enough, as Feng Kai said, this Chinese girl named Wang Shihan is indeed very beautiful.

Li Mu asked Feng Kai: "Uncle Feng, do you have any wine?"

"Yes. What, you want to drink?"

"How can you do without alcohol at the festival?"

Zhang Shujie said: "Professional players can't drink. ”

Li Mu retorted: "It's okay to drink a little bit under special circumstances." What kind of celebrations do certain clubs do without drinking, do you drink juice?"

When Zhang Shujie heard it, he felt right: "Okay, then drink a little." ”

Feng Kai also said: "Then drink the red bar." ”

Lucia preserves the wine, fills everyone up, and cheers!

"Merry Christmas!"

Everyone drank it all!

Westerners will not be less enthusiastic about Christmas than Chinese are about the Spring Festival, but unfortunately these are the Spring Festival, which is the time when the major leagues are fighting, and it is impossible for them to return to China and their families. So for them, as soon as they reach the Chinese New Year's Eve, they will miss their families.

Lucia knows about the Spring Festival, and the number of Chinese from other places is increasing year by year, and many foreigners also know what the Spring Festival means to Chinese. In addition, her husband is a Chinese immigrant, so she is no stranger to the Spring Festival.

This Western-style meal was just the first course, and Lucia made a very moderate portion, and she seemed to be a lot busy, but in fact, she could only eat half full when she ate it. It's not that she's stingy, but that she and Feng Kai still have arrangements.

Later, they have to make dumplings. This is a Chinese tradition, to make the four teenagers feel at home.

Since you can't celebrate the Spring Festival, let's spend this Christmas together as the Spring Festival.

Everyone laughed while wrapping dumplings, and the two bear children made the most trouble, jumping up and down, causing several people to laugh from time to time.

Actually, this is the real home. There are parents, there are children.

Feng Kai asked Yan Tao if he had an agent, Yan Tao said that he didn't have it for the time being, and Feng Kai said that when he entered the first team next year, he would sign him and ask him if he was willing. Yan Tao naturally agreed.

Ma Junqiang can't do it, he already has an agent.

Late at night, close to midnight, everyone finished eating dumplings, they were full, and it was already late. Yan Tao suddenly pointed out the window and shouted, "Look, it's snowing." ”

Everyone turned their heads to see that the sky was covered with goose feathers and snow. Feng Kai looked at the time, it was almost midnight, so he shouted: "Let's go, let's go with fireworks!" and walked to the courtyard with everyone.

The two children became the protagonists, looking at them holding fireworks and lighting them, with happy looks in their eyes, Zhang Shujie recalled that he was not like this when he was a child?

Colorful fireworks exploded over the city, and the entire night sky was lit up, and the four teenagers took out their mobile phones to film the scene. The display of these fireworks also means that this year's Christmas has been spent completely.

This is the first time that Zhang Shujie, Li Mu and Yan Tao have personally felt the joy of Christmas, and Ma Junqiang is the same, he spent Christmas alone last year, his teammates are accompanying his family, and when he is alone, he feels that there is no fun at all.

A long time later, when Zhang Shujie announced his retirement due to injury and tears, Ma Junqiang's first thought was the fireworks of this night.
