It turned out that Liao Minghua's parents were also born and raised in the Netherlands, people of their age did not learn Mandarin, Liao's mother can only speak Cantonese and Dutch, Liao's father is a small businessman, often go out to do business, but can Cantonese, Dutch, English, German and other Chinese.

After Ding Hongxing listened, he used the Dutch he learned during this time to say hello to Liao Minghua's parents, and Liao's father and Liao's mother smiled and greeted him in Dutch, this situation is a bit weird, obviously everyone is Chinese, but they have to communicate in Dutch.

But this is also a helpless thing, their ancestors came to the Netherlands from eastern Guangdong, in this environment, it is already a great thing to be able to maintain a Cantonese language, how can they still have the environment to learn Mandarin?

Liao Minghua's parents were very warm, and they warmly welcomed the three of them to their home for the Chinese New Year.

They asked Liao Minghua to entertain the guests, and then went to the back kitchen to prepare the New Year's dinner.

Liao Minghua made tea for the three of them and said: "Alas, I can't cook alone at home, and I have to ask my parents and sister-in-law to cook this New Year's dinner." ”

Liao Minghua has an older brother and a sister, his sister is married, he lives here with his parents and sister-in-law, it can be regarded as a big family, he is the youngest child in the family, and naturally he is the most favored, he has not done any housework, and it is normal that he can't cook.

Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "As long as you have a future interest, whether you can cook or not, your family will definitely not care." ”

Yan Xuelei nodded and said, "Yes, you are a graduate student at the best university in the Netherlands, and you will definitely be very successful in the future." ”

Liao Minghua said: "Who knows what will happen in the future?" My dad wanted me to inherit the family business, but I wanted to do my own business. ”

At this moment, a young man about thirty years old, who looked seven or eight points similar to Liao Minghua, walked into the living room, Liao Minghua shouted "brother", he nodded and agreed: "They are the guests you invited, right?" ”

Liao Minghua nodded, ready to introduce Ding Hongxing to him, but he said to Liao Minghua: "This one doesn't need to be introduced, this is the big star Ding Hongxing, right?" ”

Ding Hongxing stood up and stretched out his right hand to him and said, "I'm Ding Hongxing!" ”

The young man shook his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Liao Zhonghua, welcome to our house for the New Year." In fact, I went to the scene to watch you play, but it was too far away from the stands, and I couldn't see it very clearly, but today I finally saw it clearly, it turns out that you are so handsome, much more handsome than on TV! ”

Liao Zhonghua's humor made several people laugh at once, Liao Minghua introduced Yan Xuelei and Xia Yang to him again, they also shook hands, Liao Zhonghua said: "Actually, my brother organized the fan club, and I am also a member, but I opened a store by myself, so I rarely go to the scene to watch your games, but I still often watch your games live." ”

Liao Zhonghua's Mandarin also has a strong eastern Guangdong accent, but it can still be understood.

Ding Hongxing said: "Thank you for your support!" ”

Liao Zhonghua waved his hand and said: "It should be, this is the first time that Chinese have appeared in the Eredivisie, and they can still play so well, who do we not support?" Although I have never been back to China, I am still a Chinese, I will never forget jì, and I want to take my son back to China one day. ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said: "You should really go back and have a look if you have time, now that China is building better and better, you will definitely be very happy when you go back." ”

Liao Zhonghua said: "Well, I will definitely go back one day, okay, let Minghua sit with you, I still have to cook, I just heard my father say that I came out to say hello to you when the guests arrived." ”

After that, he went back to the back kitchen.

Liao Minghua said: "It has always been our family's wish to return to China to see, but it has never been realized, and we also want to see where our ancestors grew up!" ”

Ding Hongxing nodded silently, he could feel the feelings of Liao Minghua's family for the motherland, and sometimes, the feelings of these wanderers overseas for the motherland were far more sincere than those of many Chinese people in China.

Look carefully at the Liao family's house, but also retain a strong Chinese cultural color, is facing the door of a wall, there is a cabinet, the cabinet is placed on the Liao family's ancestral tablet, there is an incense burner in front of the tablet, there are a few lit incense sticks in it, green smoke is around, there is a shrine next to it, there is a God of Wealth inside, and the God of Wealth also lights a few incense sticks in front of it. The living room of the Liao family is full of antique Taishi chairs, there is a screen in front of the door leading to the back room, and there is a Bogu shelf on the other side of the wall, on which some knick-knacks are placed.

Now these Chinese-style furnishings are rare in domestic cities, which proves that the Liao family has never forgotten that they are Chinese.

After sitting for less than an hour, the Liao family's New Year's dinner will be opened, their family's customs are like this, generally around ten o'clock in the morning to eat the New Year's dinner, it is said that the earlier the New Year's dinner, the better the luck in the coming year, therefore, there are some people who start to eat the New Year's dinner early in the morning, and there have already begun to be intermittent people in the neighborhood are setting off firecrackers, of course, these are all Chinese eating New Year's dinner, and the Dutch natives will not set off firecrackers.

Liao Minghua took out a firecracker that had been prepared a long time ago, ran to the courtyard and put it, and the New Year's dinner officially began.

Liao Zhonghua's wife led his two-year-old son out, she was a Chinese woman in her twenties, dignified-looking, she looked very gentle, she also greeted Ding Hongxing and the three of them after she came out, Ding Hongxing took out a red envelope and handed it to Liao Zhonghua's son, he asked Liao Minghua before he came, knowing that his brother had a son, so he prepared a red envelope for the child, which was one hundred guilders.

Yan Xuelei and Xia Yang also took out the red envelopes they had prepared and handed them to the children, Liao Zhonghua did not refuse, and let the children accept it.

The ancestral home of the Liao family is from eastern Guangdong Province, and the dishes of the New Year's dinner are naturally based on Cantonese cuisine, such as white chopped chicken, roast suckling pig, roast goose, and old fire soup are naturally indispensable, and there are a lot of seafood, Amsterdam is originally close to the sea, and the seafood here will naturally not be less.

Of course, the Liao family has settled in the Netherlands for nearly a hundred years, and of course there are some Dutch-style dishes on this table, such as pancakes, herring, fried meatballs and other dishes that Aunt Vester often makes for Ding Hongxing.

In short, the dining table is a combination of Chinese and Western, dazzling and hearty.
