Chapter 46: Happiness
After dealing with the media, Ricardo and his teammates took the bus back to the training base, took a shower and changed clothes, and dragged back to Uncle Paul's house with tired steps. It's late at night, but the streets are not quiet, and there are children playing football under the dim street lamps, and it is as lively as day.
Ricardo pulled out the key and opened the door somewhat mechanically. Now his mind is tingling, and he just wants to get some sleep quickly.
Playing professionally is still a huge burden on his body right now, and the occasional start is certainly good, but if he starts, he will definitely be unbearable, and it is easy for him to get injured due to excessive exhaustion.
But with my own training progress, in another half a year, I can barely withstand this kind of competition intensity.
It was pitch black behind the door.
Uncle Paul, they're all asleep, aren't they? Ricardo tiptoed into the house, closed the door gently, and just turned around to go back to his room, when suddenly the room became brightly lit, and Uncle Paul appeared with a cake in his left hand and a bottle of champagne in his right hand, smiling: "Congratulations, little Ricardo!" ”
Aunt Glena also followed behind Uncle Paul with a smile and whispered, "I said you must be tired, but Paul insisted on celebrating you." ”
A warm current flowed through the bottom of Ricardo's heart, and he showed a sincere smile: "Thank you! ”
"You deserve it, haha, scored the first hat-trick of your career, how does it feel?" Uncle Paul puts the cake on the table.
'It's not bad, I'm getting used to that feeling and there will definitely be more hat-tricks in the future. Uncle Paul, you have to get used to it, if you have to open a bottle of champagne every time I score a hat-trick, you'll be bankrupt in no time. Ricardo joked.
"No, someone paid for it," said Uncle Paul triumphantly, "and there was a fool who made a bet with me and lost 1,000 reais to me." ”
Upstairs, the door to Stella's room opened, and Stella walked out expressionlessly, wearing a cute pink pajamas with a bear motif, very short, revealing her long, slender white legs like the finest ivory. She leaned on the handrail and looked down, her voice a little cold: "When is it, you still haven't slept yet?" I have to go to school tomorrow. ”
Uncle Paul laughed: "Happy today, let's go to bed later, and celebrate his first hat trick for little Ricardo first!" ”
"Boring," Stella said, turning, "you guys, I'm going to sleep." ”
There was a "bang" and her door closed again.
Uncle Paul smiled a little awkwardly: "Don't take it to heart, little Ricardo." ”
"It's okay, I don't know her yet, she's such a character," Licardo smiled, pointing to the cake and champagne, "but unfortunately I can't eat any of them." ”
Stella's door opened again, and Stella appeared in a hurry, "What kind of character do I have, and what do you know about me?" ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, you can come down and eat some too." Uncle Paul greeted.
"I'm not a sweet-tooth, I'm going to be a model, I'm going to be in shape," said Stella, "and why should I celebrate this bastard." ”
"Stella!" Aunt Glena frowned, she liked Ricardo very much, and couldn't understand why her daughter was always hostile to Ricardo.
"Hmph, I'm going to sleep." Stella pouted her sexy little mouth.
"Leave her alone, let's celebrate." Uncle Paul put his arm around Ricardo's shoulders, and Ricardo only felt a huge force coming, and he couldn't help but throw himself into Uncle Paul's arms, almost suffocating by Uncle Paul's fat and the smell of wine.
"If only you were my son," Uncle Paul finally let go of Ricardo, expertly opened the champagne, poured it into three goblets, one of which was only a little in, and handed it to Ricardo, "I wish you all the best in your career!" ”
"Thank you!" Seeing that there was not much wine, Ricardo did not refuse, and drank it in one gulp. He actually likes to drink, but as a professional footballer, in order to maintain good condition, he almost didn't drink at all in his previous life.
Uncle Paul was about to pour him wine, and Licardo hurriedly covered the wine glass with his hand: "I can't drink it, Paul, I'm a professional player, and wine is poison to me." ”
Uncle Paul seemed a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. After that, he divided the cake and only gave Li Cara a little more.
"It's really surprising, I thought you had talent when I saw you playing in the youth team, but I didn't expect you to score a hat-trick in the professional game so quickly."
"Ricardo, you'll be just as good as your brother."
"Don't keep your face strained, you should be happy today, come, laugh."
"Little Ricardo, do you really not like my daughter? Hey, I think you're going to be a good match, it's a pity. ”
Uncle Paul didn't drink well, and he had drunk a lot of it in the bar before, and after a few glasses of champagne, he showed that he was drunk.
However, he had not lost his basic sanity, and after a quiet conversation and laughter with Ricardo, he let Ricardo go to rest.
Ricardo returned to his room and was about to go to bed, and before going to bed, he checked his phone and suddenly found a missed call from Ronaldo.
Ricardo suddenly lost all his sleepiness, hurriedly went back, and connected without two sounds, Ronaldo's voice was full of joy: "Little guy, good job, he scored a hat trick so soon." ”
Li Cardo smiled: "Hehe, I'm going to Serie A to fight side by side with you, how can I get into Inter Milan's eyes without two brushes." ”
"Keep it that way," Ronaldo said with a smile, "Fabiano told me about your contract and he will try to negotiate a good contract for you." Don't set the release fee too high, otherwise Inter won't buy you...... By the way, it's time for you to call your dad, he's been paying attention to your recent performance and he's happy for you......"
The original owner, Ricardo, did not have deep feelings for his father, who was an alcoholic and had a bad temper, did not let him have many happy childhood memories.
However, Ricardo did not want to talk about those unpleasant things, so he responded vaguely.
"Hehe, tomorrow the media in all of Brazil is going to explode. At 16 years and 4 months a hat-trick, Ricardo will drive all Brazil crazy. ”
"How is that possible?" Ricardo laughed, "After seeing your performance, do you think Brazilian fans can go crazy so easily?" There is a saying in China that once you have seen the sea, it is difficult to like an ordinary river; Once there was a dream love, it was difficult to fall in love with someone else. ”
This little compliment made Ronaldo very comfortable to listen to. The two chatted a few more words about family matters, then said goodnight to each other and hung up the phone.
It's already 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning in Italy, right? After putting down the phone, Licardo suddenly realized.
Ronaldo waited so late just to have a phone call with me and congratulate me......
A sense of well-being arises.
