Chapter 45: Family
After half a day of recovery training, Qin Lin drove to the airport.
The reason why he didn't go home directly was because he was here to pick up people, pick up his wife and son.
Almost two months after his transfer to Shiningstar, when the new semester was about to begin, he finally completed the transfer procedures for his child with the help of the club.
And today is the day when his wife and children flew from Lingnan to Jincheng to reunite with him.
Previously, as Hu Lai analyzed, Qin Lin did not decide whether to let the child come with him for a long time, because he was not very optimistic about his prospects in this team.
So at that time, his plan was to hand over the child to his father-in-law and mother-in-law first, and let his wife come over to accompany him.
But on the one hand, the wife is reluctant to have a son, and on the other hand, the wife is worried that her parents will not be able to take care of the children. After all, the elderly...... Always spoil the child more, she is worried that letting the elderly take it for a long time will develop some bad habits. In Lingnan, Qin Lin's wife has always insisted on taking care of her own children.
His wife was reluctant to leave her children to come to Jincheng, and Qin Lin was worried that after his wife and children came, the team's results would not be good, and he would eventually be relegated, so he had to find another home.
If he were alone, it would be better to say, carry a bag, pull a suitcase, and go anywhere.
But if you drag your family with you, it's complicated.
It was precisely because of this concern that he had not made up his mind whether to let the child come with him.
It wasn't until almost half a month ago that he made a decision to let his wife bring their children to Jincheng to reunite with him.
From now on, when he finishes his training and returns home, he will no longer be an empty house, but a wife and children waiting for him.
Although it is a rented house, it also makes Qin Lin feel at home.
After knowing Qin Lin's decision, the Shining Star Club was angry on the one hand, and of course actively cooperated with Qin Lin on the other hand, helping him find a school in Jincheng to receive his children.
They also knew very well that Qin Lin's decision to let his wife bring the child to Jincheng showed that his confidence in the shining star had greatly increased.
That's a good thing.
After Qin Lin came to the team, he immediately became the absolute core and main force of the team, proving that he was not old.
With such an important player for the team and full of confidence in the future of the team, the team's preparation and recruitment will be much easier next season.
After making some simple and necessary disguises, Qin Lin stood at Exit 4 of the terminal building, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw his wife pushing a luggage cart and walking out of it with his son.
So he hurriedly raised his arm and waved.
His wife also saw him, and the son threw his mother directly and ran out of the exit passage and threw himself into his arms: "Dad! β
"Eh, good son!" Qin Lin bent down and hugged his son, who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, and then stepped forward and hugged his wife again.
The family of three is finally reunited again.
Then Qin Lin put his son down, pushed the heavy luggage cart by himself, and walked to the parking lot outside with his wife and children.
After putting all his luggage into the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz big G with Lingnan license plates, he got in the car and set off for home.
"I remember that I wasn't very optimistic about my prospects here, why did you suddenly make up your mind to let us come over?" The wife sitting in the passenger seat first turned around and asked her son to fasten the harness in the back seat, and then asked her husband.
"I found an interesting young man and I wanted to stay here and see more." Qin Lin said with a smile.
"Is it the one I said before, and at the welcome ceremony, I said that I grew up playing football?"
Qin Lin nodded: "That's right." It was a very interesting child. β
"Just a young man, can you be confident about your future in Shining Star?" The wife still couldn't understand.
"Of course not, but I want to take care of him as much as possible, he is talented, but his personality is a little out of the ordinary, I don't want him to follow Zhang Qinghuan's old path." Qin Lin said as he drove.
Hearing the name "Zhang Qinghuan", his wife also knew who it was, obviously Qin Lin had not seen this person in front of her, she was a little surprised: "Can he compare with Zhang Qinghuan?" β
"They play with different characteristics, but if you want to achieve something in the future...... If Zhang Qinghuan continues like this, Hu Lai will definitely be taller than him. β
"I will also achieve high achievements in the future!" The son, who had been sitting in the back seat and had not said a word, said suddenly.
"Yes, yes, our family Qiqi is also very powerful!" When the mother hurriedly turned around and gave her son a thumbs up.
"You'll have to work hard enough." Qin Lin, who became a father, chose to put pressure on his son, "Do you know when Hu Lai started playing?" β
"When?"
"Sixteen years old. He only started training in football at the age of sixteen, and after only three years of training, he was able to play as a main striker in a professional team. β
Qin Lin's son Qin Qi stared at the back of his father who was driving with wide eyes, his father ignored him, he turned his eyes to his mother again, and his mother nodded to him: "It's true, Qiqi." β
"Then he is much more powerful than me......" Qin Qi said in frustration.
Seeing this, my mother hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, our family Qiqi has been receiving football training since kindergarten, as long as you train seriously and work hard, you will definitely be very powerful in the future!" β
Qin Lin, who was driving, heard his wife comforting his son, and the corners of his mouth curled.
That's what it's like to have family by your side......

Although her husband said that there was no need to tell his son what he said, Xie Lan still used the lunch break at work to call Hu Lai.
She had two things to tell her son, the first of course was to tell him that his dad had finally watched him play, and that was a welcome improvement!
The second thing is to relay what Hu Lixin said to his son.
Hulai reacted calmly to the fact that his father finally watched his game, he didn't really care if his father watched his game or not, anyway, whether he watched it or not would not affect his performance.
But Dad specifically pointed out the problems he is facing now, which still surprised him a little.
Because it's the same as what the coach told him.
I didn't expect my father to still have a bit of vision......
He thought that after so many years of rejecting football to the point of paranoia, his understanding of football had already degraded to the point that it was no different from a veteran football blind......
As a result, after only watching one game of his own, he knew the problem he was encountering.
"Don't worry, Mom. Dad is right, how can our coach not see this kind of problem? In fact, since this week, the coach has added targeted strength training to me, just to strengthen my ability to fight in the penalty area......" Hulai comforted his anxious mother.
"However, physical fitness training is a long-term process, and it is not a matter of one or two days that you can see results. So don't worry too much about it, it's not a big deal if I don't score in two games. Even if I didn't score in the last round, I still have an average goal per game. Mom knows how terrifying this efficiency is? A lot of people can't even do one goal in two games, I can do one goal at a time...... Relax, my son is awesome! β
In the face of such achievements, of course, Hu Lai does not need to be modest, he even deliberately creates his tall image in front of his mother, on the one hand, it is natural to reassure his mother, and on the other hand, it is ...... It is also to prove the correctness of choosing this path.
What child doesn't want to show off what he's achieved in front of his parents?
Xie Lan really doesn't know much about football, but since her son has said so, she thinks that there must be no problem, after all, her son is really good now.
Seeing that her son seemed to be in a good mood, she took advantage of the situation and said: "Alas, I originally wanted to go to Jincheng to find it, but since we started the game, we have always been at the wrong time." When I have free time, I'm at work. I rested and went to play...... Will you be able to go home for the Spring Festival next year? β
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his mother to make such a request, and he knew why his mother was talking so much before he said his true purpose.
It's not because he ran away from home and has a tense relationship with his father......
She must have hoped to ease their relationship by telling him that his dad had watched him play, and then take advantage of the excuse to go home for the Chinese New Year to bring the two of them together......
But it's a pity that I'm going to be disappointed in my mother.
Hu Lai was very embarrassed and said: "But Mom, if nothing else, we should gather for winter training after New Year's Day to prepare for the new season." No one will go back for the New Year......"
Xie Lan heard his son say this, and his tone was obviously disappointed and puzzled: "Is this so?" But it's only August now, how do you know what the time will be? β
"Every year, Mom. Even if there is a discrepancy in the date, it is not too far off. β
When Xie Lan heard her son say this, she suddenly realized a problem, and she exclaimed: "Isn't that going to winter training every Spring Festival?" β
"Well, that's how it should be......" Hulai also realized that after embarking on the path of professional football, he lost the eligibility to reunite with his family during the Spring Festival.
Unless he retires, the Spring Festival of his sophomore year of high school turned out to be the last reunion with his parents......
And when he retires, how old will his parents be and how old will he be himself?
Think about the Qin Lin boss who is still playing at the age of thirty-eight...... Hu Lai felt that with his own style of play and the help of plug-ins, he might be kicked by Qin Lin's boss for a long time.
At that time, I will probably have my wife and children, and my parents are afraid that they will be even older with gray hair, and my father's leg, which hurts on a rainy day, will he still be able to move freely?
Like when he was in school, as soon as the Spring Festival arrived, his mother would start to be busy in the kitchen a few days in advance, and the lively scene of his father running to various New Year's markets to purchase and help him will no longer be seen.
Now that I think about it, I didn't say goodbye to that year, and I was running bravely on the road of pursuing my dreams, but I also threw those things that I was used to farther and farther away......
At the time, he thought that flowers, praise, cheers and a bright future awaited him, but he did not know what he would lose.
There was silence on both sides of the phone, and it was clear that Hulai's mother, Sheeran, had realized that something had changed forever on that night when she couldn't stop crying.
Hu Lai made up his mind before he spoke, "Mom...... Although we can't spend the New Year together, we have a month's holiday at the end of the season, and when the time comes, ...... I'll be back then. β
Xie Lan on the other side of the phone forced a smile: "It's okay, when the time comes, let's celebrate the New Year in advance." β

When he was about to get homeβQin Lin used to call this rented villa a "rental house", but now because of his wife and children, the "rental house" has finally been upgraded to a "home" - Qin Lin discussed with his wife: "After we clean up the house, after a while, I want to invite my teammates to come to the house as guests." β
"Please? I'm afraid I won't be able to sit at home......" my wife frowned.
"Of course not, there are more than 30 of us in the first team...... Definitely please have a better relationship. Qin Lin said. There is a garden at the back of the house, just right for a barbecue party. β
"Oh, that's fine, it's up." The wife leaned lightly on the back of the chair and tilted her head to look at her husband, her eyes full of tenderness.
And their children, already reclining in the back seat, fell asleep early.
