On the evening of February 1, Ding Hongxing returned home, and Lu Chaohui had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ding Hongxing and Lu Chaohui had a meal, and while eating, Lu Chaohui asked: "Hongxing, there are still more than ten days to go before the New Year, what are your plans for the New Year?" ”

Ding Hongxing put down his rice bowl, Chinese New Year's Eve is February 18, at that time, it is a very intense period of the Premier League, the schedule is very intensive, it is impossible for him to return to China for the Spring Festival.

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we take my parents to Manchester for the New Year?" ”

The reason why Ding Hongxing only said his parents, not Lu Chaohui's parents, is also because Lu Chaohui's parents are both national cadres, and Lu Zhongmin is a leading cadre, it is not so simple to want to go abroad in that era, and Ding Yuejin is the manager of the enterprise, it is much easier for him to go abroad, the last time he was in the Champions League final, he went abroad, and Shen Shuzhen is basically a housewife now, and she has no restrictions.

Of course, Lu Chaohui also understood this, she nodded and said: "That's what I think, my parents are at home and my brother is with them, your parents are just a son like you, let's take them to Manchester for the New Year." ”

Lu Chaohui's reasonableness made Ding Hongxing very happy, and after thinking about it, he said, "Huihui, do you want to go back to Guicheng for the New Year?" ”

Lu Chaohui said: "I am still in Manchester to accompany you and your parents during the New Year, but I want to go back to Guicheng in two days, one to accompany my parents, and the other to take your parents over before the New Year." ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "It's good for you to arrange it like this, it's okay, then why don't you go back tomorrow?" ”

Lu Chaohui said: "Then you won't have anyone to take care of you when I go back these days." ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Didn't I always be alone when I was in the Netherlands? It's okay, I'll take care of myself. ”

Lu Chaohui said: "You have to cook something nutritious to eat alone, don't always try to be convenient, go to eat fast food, if you don't want to do it, you have to go to a restaurant to eat something good." ”

Ding Hongxing smiled: "Well, I know, I'll take care of myself." ”

The next day, Lu Chaohui flew back to the capital from Manchester, Ding Hongxing had called Yang Tianxiong in advance and asked him to arrange everything, Lu Chaohui flew directly to Jiangcheng at the airport, Zhao Hai had already sent a driver to pick her up at the airport, she rested in the hotel for one night, and returned to Guicheng the next day.

When Lu Chaohui returned to Guicheng, Lu Zhongmin and Zou Xiaofeng were of course overjoyed, but when they heard that Lu Chaohui could not celebrate the New Year at home, they were still a little disappointed, but they were also very reasonable and agreed with their daughter's idea of celebrating the New Year in Manchester.

Lu Chaohui went to Ding Hongxing's house again, she said that she wanted to take Ding Yuejin and his wife to Manchester for the New Year, Ding Yuejin and his wife did not hesitate too much, and agreed, now that they have such conditions, how can they not want to celebrate the New Year with their son? They are also extremely satisfied with Lu Chaohui, this future daughter-in-law flew back to China from the United Kingdom all the way to pick them up to the United Kingdom for the New Year, where to find such a good daughter-in-law?

Although Ding Yuejin and his wife agreed to go to Manchester for the New Year, Ding Yuejin has not had a holiday yet, and he can only leave around the 15th, so Lu Chaohui set off on the 15th.

When Lu Chaohui told Ding Hongxing the good news, Ding Hongxing was also very happy.

The traditional Chinese New Year is coming, but the Premier League is still in full swing, on February 3, Manchester City hosted Queens Park Rangers, Ding Hongxing was not able to score in this game, but he revitalized the team's attack, Quinn, Larsson, Kinklaze, Lake scored respectively, Manchester City won 4-2 in a goal shootout, it is worth mentioning that Lake scored his first goal for Manchester City after returning from injury, after the goal, he rushed to the fan stands, Kissing the Manchester City emblem on his chest provoked a burst of cheers from the fans.

However, there was also bad news for this game, which was that Smitchell strained his thigh in the game and will be sidelined for about a month, and he was replaced by Makelelele, who played a decent role in defence.

And Stam also entered the starting lineup for the first time in this game, although the run-in is not very in place, the cooperation between him and Hyypia is not tacit enough, Manchester City also conceded two goals for this reason, but his personal strength can be seen to be far stronger than Funk, as long as he and Hyypia form a tacit understanding, Manchester City's defense will be upgraded a notch.

Funk has no opinion on Stam taking his starting position, he is already a veteran in his thirties, and it is basically impossible to play 38 games in the fierce Premier League, in fact, after more than 20 fierce games, he already has some minor injuries and illnesses, and now that Stam is playing the starter, he can just adjust his physical condition and see the ability of Stam on the field, and Funk is also ready to play as a substitute for this compatriot in the future.

After playing this game, Ding Hongxing made a suggestion to Mu Shengli, that is, let Mu Shengli bring his family to Manchester for the New Year, so as to share the joy of family, Mu Shengli has been in the UK for more than half a year, and has always focused all his energy on the team, and has not met with his family once, if the Spring Festival is also spent by him alone, this is too lonely for an old man in his fifties.

Mu Shengli has actually been thinking about this problem, he has been hesitant about whether to let his family come to Manchester for the New Year, Ding Hongxing's suggestion made him make up his mind, and he immediately called his family and asked them to come to Manchester, England for the New Year.

On February 10, the last matchday before the Chinese New Year, Manchester City played Everton away in the league, and after this game, there will not be a FA Cup fifth round match until the 20th.

As a result, Manchester City drew 0-0 with Everton in a dull game between the two sides, with perhaps the only bright spot being a long-range shot from several of City's midfielders.

The players on both sides did not seem very excited in this game, probably because the recent schedule has been too dense, most of the season has passed, and the main players of each team have entered a period of exhaustion at this time, and the next games require them to grit their teeth.

Despite a draw, Manchester City continued to lead the table.
