Hulai started the league game against the capital Tamron and also scored a goal.

But he also failed to help the big rotation Twinkle win at home.

After three high-intensity games in eight days, Zhao Kangming made a large rotation of the starting lineup of the flashing stars, and the tactics were also adjusted to defensive counterattacks.

Focus on defense and strive not to lose.

In the end, the shining star drew 1:1 with the capital Tenglong at his home stadium, which was considered to have completed the set goal.

Originally, many media and fans in the capital were still looking forward to reuniting with Zhang Qinghuan in the game.

However, Zhang Qinghuan did not enter the 18-man squad at all in this game, and Zhang Qinghuan, who started in three consecutive games, got the opportunity to rest.

This makes the fans of the capital Tamron regretful, but they can't complain about the Shining Star Club. After all, this is also a normal arrangement.

After the race, Hu Lai, who had just boarded the bus, received a call from his mother.

Mom rarely calls him at this time, and he's pretty weird.

After answering the phone, what his mother said made him even more strange: "Ready for some autographs? ”

His mother rarely asked him for an autograph, and although it was strange, Hu Lai still agreed: "No problem, I'll ......sign it for you when I go back."

"Uh, son, it's a bit much......"

"How much is a little more?"

"Thirty ...... No, thirty-five copies......"

"Mom, are you going to sell autographs?"

"Whew, how do you speak! It's not me who wants it, it's your dad! ”

"My dad? So why did you call me? ”

"Your dad is thin-skinned......" Xie Lan complained as she explained the specific reason to Hu Lai.

Only then did Hulai know that his father had gone to apply for an E-level coaching certificate, and now that he was almost finished, he wanted to use his signature as a gift for his classmates and the staff of the training center.

"This ...... No problem, thirty-five is thirty-five, I'll go back and work overtime......" Although Hu Lai couldn't complain about his father's practice of using his own signature to settle relationships, he still agreed.

"By the way, Mom, how can I give my dad the signature after I sign it?"

"He studied at a training base of the Jincheng Football Association in Pujin County......"

"Okay, I see, Mom. I'll send him when the time comes. ”

After hanging up the phone, Hu Lai said to Wang Guangwei beside him: "Lao Wang, will you accompany me to Pujin tomorrow morning?" ”

Wang Guangwei listened to all the words next to him, and naturally knew what Hu Lai was going to do, so he nodded and agreed very simply: "No problem." ”

"Is there any use for an E-level coaching certificate?" Hulay asked again.

Wang Guangwei shook his head: "It's completely useless, it only means that you have the qualification to coach, but you don't recognize this in many places." ”

"Then why are you here?"

"But if you want to take the D-level coach certificate, you need an E-level certificate. In the same way, to take the C certificate, you need a D certificate. Your dad wants to be a coach......"

"He's a soccer coach?" Hulay thought about it for a moment and couldn't imagine what it would be like for his dad to become a football coach.

He hadn't heard his mother talk about it before, and if he hadn't asked him for an autograph, he would probably have been kept in the dark.

So he sighed.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Hu Lai's sigh, Wang Guangwei asked strangely.

"It's nothing, it just feels like I'm not my own...... "Hulai said wistfully as he looked out the window.

Wang Guangwei: ???

The next morning, the players who participated in the Tenglong League in the capital did not have to go to training, but Hu Lai still went out early in the morning, and Wang Guangwei drove him to the training base of the Jincheng Football Association in Pujin County, south of Jincheng.

After parking the car in the parking lot of the training base and charging it by the way, Hulai called his father out on the phone.

It was the first time he had seen his dad again after a short stay at home at the end of last season.

Although the last few games have been related to his dad, the two have met for the first time this year.

After Hu Lai introduced Wang Gangwei and himself to each other, Hu Lixin stretched out his hand to his son: "Did you bring the autograph?" ”

"Bring it." Hulai handed his father a non-woven bag, full of the names he had signed overnight when he had returned the previous night.

After Hu Lixin checked it, he nodded: "Okay, you go back, be careful on the road." ”

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Oh no, Dad...... We've come all the way here, and we're letting us go when we give you something, isn't it? Hu Lai stopped Hu Lixin and pointed at Wang Guangwei again, "People who don't know still think that the relationship between the two of us is bad......

Wang Guangwei was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to hide in the car directly.

If he hadn't seen Hulai's father there, he would have slapped him on the face.

Hu Lixin looked back at his son and said calmly, "I'm doing this for your good." ”

"Good for me?" Hu Lai smiled, "Dad, I've heard you since I was a child, and it's still a familiar flavor and a familiar formula......

Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people suddenly appear at the entrance of the parking lot, and after seeing them, he became excited.

"Sure enough, it's Hulai! Hulai! ”

"Hulai!!"

"Wow, there's Wang Guangwei!"

"Earned it, earned it!"

Hu Lai looked at the group of people who rushed up with a scream, and was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously thought that he had traveled into the world of Resident Evil......

When the crowd rushed up, Hu Lixin gave way to the side, let them run in front of him, and then surrounded Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei.

"Hulai, Hulai! I'm a fan of yours, can you sign me? ”

"Hulai, can I take a picture with you? I adore you...... All four of us in the dormitory are your fans! ”

"Wang Guangwei, I also went to school in Jiaxiang, we are still alumni!"

"Can Wang Guangwei take a photo with you? My buddy is your fan! ”

The two of them were instantly overwhelmed by more than thirty people.

In the crowd, Hulai tried to reach out, as if to ask his father for help.

But his father just took out his mobile phone outside the crowd, filmed the scene, and sent it to his wife.

And wrote: "My son arrived, and he brought his signature." ”

Soon Xie Lan replied, "Wow! So many people? I knew that I wouldn't let him sign, wouldn't someone be able to sign on the spot? As a result, for your sake, he came back from the game yesterday and signed very late...... Let me tell you Hu Lixin, your son is concerned about your affairs! Don't keep keeping a straight face with him......"

"I don't have a face, I'm smiling."

Hu Lixin put down his mobile phone, looked at his son, who had already begun to take photos with the fans one by one like a prop man, and laughed.

Laughed a lot.

"My day, I'll tell you about Hulai, when the crowd rushed at me, I almost wanted to hide in the car - I really thought it was your father's ambush axeman......"

While driving, Wang Guangwei still recalled the experience just now.

"Axe hands like words! What do you think of our father-son relationship? ”

"Didn't you say it was bad?"

After Wang Guangwei said this, Hu Lai did not answer him.

This made Wang Guangwei a little concerned, not knowing if he was joking to stimulate Hu Lai, he secretly glanced at Hu Lai, and saw the latter sitting in the co-pilot's seat, looking at the highway in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

Hu Lai suddenly asked, "Lao Wang, how do you and your father usually get along?" ”

Wang Guangwei didn't expect Hu Lai to ask this question, and he didn't answer it for a while.

"How do you get along? Get along normally......"

"Did your dad beat you?"

"Before, when I was very young."

"Then your dad always has a straight face for you?"

"That's not ......"

"Is your dad happy that you're a professional footballer?"

"Happy is happy, but not much happy...... After all, I was only in the youth team at the time. ”

After he finished answering, Hulai stopped asking again, and continued to look ahead in a state of distraction.

"Do you think your dad is cold to you?" Wang Guangwei tried to ask Hu Lai.

"No, he used to be very enthusiastic about me, and he slapped me back then......"

Wang Guangwei just wanted to say when he heard the first half of the sentence, "Isn't that good?" As a result, he almost drove the car out of the shrimp catcher (Note 1......

"Is that how 'enthusiasm' is used?"

Hu Lai didn't care about Wang Guangwei's protest and continued: "But in fact, I can understand him, because I now know why he is like that, he is really hurt by football and sad. It's just that I thought that after I beat Wang Xianke down, I would be able to untie his knot to some extent and make him ...... My attitude towards me has changed a bit. But I'm probably thinking too much......"

"You do think too much, Hulai. I don't know your dad, but I know my dad. After we were promoted last year, I went home and met my dad, and you know what my dad said about my performance in the team? Wang Guangwei said.

"How do you evaluate it?"

"Not bad." Wang Guangwei said with a smile, "I have helped Shining Star to be promoted to the Chinese Super League, and after 20 years, Anton Football finally has a Chinese Super League team...... Even the media outside praised me, and my father gave me two words: 'Not bad'! ”

"That's fine, my dad didn't even say the word 'good'."

"People are different...... Later, my mom secretly told me that my dad had been attending various gatherings of colleagues intensively during that time, and others praised me, so he smiled and waved his hand and said, 'It's okay'. I immediately understood that my dad could say 'yes' to me, which was already a high evaluation. So Hulai, if your dad doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he is unhappy, he may just not know how to express it. After all, as you said, his relationship with you for so many years was not very good...... If you want him to become what you want him to be, I'm afraid it's not realistic. ”

Seeing that Hu Lai was silent, he continued: "When my mother told me about my father's reaction behind my back, she also said that in terms of feelings, men are the kind of people who are very awkward, obviously there are a hundred in their hearts, but they only say ten at most. She also gave the example of how my dad never said 'I love you' to my mom, but my dad really loved my mom...... So I guess your dad has a hundred in his heart, but maybe only one can say it......"

Hu Lai listened quietly to Wang Guangwei's words until the mobile phone in his hand vibrated to remind him of the new news.

He lowered his head to unlock the screen and saw a photo sent by his mother on WeChat, which was taken when Hu Lai took a group photo with a certain student, Hu Lai looked at the mobile phone in the hand of others, smiled, and was photographed by his father.

This is who he sees in his dad.

In addition, there is another sentence: "Son, your father said thank you." ”

Hu Lai typed words on the virtual keyboard of his mobile phone with both hands and replied: "Tell him, what else is polite to your son?" ”

Then he put away his mobile phone, nodded and said, "Well, Lao Wang, you are right. My dad never said anything like 'I love you' to my mom. ”

"Right? So, our fathers are all the same in this regard. ”

Wang Guangwei saw that Hu Lai seemed to be enlightened by himself, and his mood improved, and he turned on the car radio.

On Monday morning, the second Ring Expressway was sparsely trafficked, the roads were smooth, and singing came out of the radio:

The speed is seventy miles, and the mood is free and easy-

I hope that the end is the Aegean Sea, and I am running with all my strength and my dream is on the other side -

Note 2: The song is from Huang Zheng and Yu Quan's "Run". By the way, this song is older than Hulai......
