As soon as the school was out of the summer, Zhou Xiaoxiang packed up his things and went to France. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is not the first time she has gone abroad, her son invited her to go with her husband for the Spring Festival in Metz. But this is the first time she has gone abroad alone. Her husband has to continue to work because he can't take such a long vacation, and she, as a teacher, has a summer vacation to spend in France with her son.

Why not quit? Anyway, they don't need that much money now, and their son's income in a week is more than what they earn in a year. Mainly because Zhou Xiaoxiang enjoys the feeling of being envied and respected in school, and has become the center of other people's discussions. Whenever I hear other teachers say to themselves: "Teacher Zhou, I heard that your family scores goals again every day?" Awesome! She was very happy, and she had to be polite and polite: "He's all kicking blindly!" "My heart is as sweet as drinking honey.

When Zhou Xiaoxiang got off the plane in France, although she couldn't read the French signs, she could still understand the pictures, and she was able to find the exit with the flow of people. The last time she came, she still had a vague impression.

Picking up her luggage with her fellow passengers, she saw her son at the exit - his white bandaged arm was really conspicuous in the crowd.

Immediately afterward, she saw the Hollywood actress next to her son, her son's girlfriend, and maybe her future daughter-in-law, waving to her.

So she waved to them as well.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiang came out, Emily greeted her and gave her a hug first, Zhou Xiaoxiang was actually not suitable for this, but she greeted Emily for the first time in Sichuan, and now when she arrives in France, she must accept this hug greeting in line with the idea of following the local customs. "Hello!" Emily greeted Zhou Xiaoxiang in a Chinese dialect that was not quite pronounced.

"Oh, it's okay for you, it's good for you......" Zhou Xiaoxiang hurriedly responded.

Then Emily consciously took the box that Zhou Xiaoxiang put aside, and she exclaimed, "Wow, it's so heavy!" What are they? She used English, Zhou Xiaoxiang couldn't understand it, but fortunately her son translated for her.

Chu Zhongtian also carried the suitcase, which was indeed a bit heavy, and he was also surprised: "Mom, what is in your box?" Why is it so heavy? ”

"It's all condiments!" Zhou Xiaoxiang said, "I heard that I can't buy Sichuan spices here, so I simply brought them to you from Sichuan." If you want to stay here for two months, you won't be able to make authentic Sichuan food without seasoning! ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled bitterly, even if he made it, he probably wouldn't be able to eat it. Originally, if I didn't do any activity during this time, my body had already gained a little weight, and if I dared to eat it with my belly open, I would have to spend another month to lose weight when the injury was healed. But he didn't say it, because even if he didn't eat it, his mother would never be able to eat her own set of recipes.

Chu Zhongtian translated his mother's words to Emily, and Emily was very excited when she heard that it was a delicious Chinese food. She is not worried about gaining weight at all, because women are always unable to resist when facing food, even if they know that they will gain weight, they let go of eating.

Since I arrived in Paris, I can't remember to go back, Emily and Chu Zhongtian accompanied Zhou Xiaoxiang here for two days, and went shopping. Anyway, he has money now, and he doesn't care.

After two days in Paris, the three returned to Metz.

As soon as she arrived home, Emily poured water for Zhou Xiaoxiang like a little Chinese daughter-in-law, and served Chu Zhongtian's mother very thoughtfully.

Although it is still a little difficult for the two of them to communicate, they have to go through Chu Zhongtian's translation. But Zhou Xiaoxiang likes his son, a celebrity girlfriend who has no star frame at all.

Emily knew that Chu Zhongtian had been distressed about whether to transfer and leave Mace during this time, and believed that his mother would accompany him and let him withdraw from this emotion. He was going to leave in a few days, and if it weren't for his mother, he really wouldn't want to go back to work. My mom called me again and again, hoping that she would be able to go back to work again.

Just after settling his mother, Chu Zhongtian received a phone call.

The call came from Le Goff's daughter.

"My father wants to treat you to a meal, Mr. Chu." She politely extended the invitation.

"Tonight?" Chu Zhongtian looked at his mother who was helping to empty the suitcase with Emily and asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll go."

After Chu Zhongtian asked the specific time, he hung up the phone. Then he told Emily and his mother that he was going to an appointment tonight, and that dinner would be settled by the two of them.

Emily nodded to indicate that she understood, and her mother asked, "Who is the person who invited you to go?" ”

"A fan."

"Male or female?"

"Mom......" Chu Zhongtian was very helpless.

"I'm doing this for your own good, Emily is so good to you, if you mess around outside, I won't spare you!"

"Where is this...... Chu Zhongtian has a black line, and his mother's association ability is really strong.

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me if it's a man or a woman?"

"Man, and an old man." Chu Zhongtian spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"Then how did I hear that the voice on the phone was a woman?" Mom asked, confused.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect his mother's ears to be really smart, and he could hear this. He replied honestly: "That's the daughter of the old fan, the old fan has a heart condition, so his daughter takes care of him at home all the year round." ”

"Oh......" After listening to Chu Zhongtian's explanation, Zhou Xiaoxiang relieved himself.

The whole chat between her and Chu Zhongtian was in Chinese, and Emily couldn't understand it, so she kept sitting next to her and tilted her head to look at the two of them with a puzzled and curious face.

Zhou Xiaoxiang turned to her and said, "You too, your boyfriend wants to go out on a date, and you don't ask him who he is dating, what if he goes on a date with a woman behind your back?" ”

"Mom......" Chu Zhongtian was completely speechless, his mother was too powerful, right? Now start educating Emily. Besides...... "You say Chinese, she doesn't understand." ”

Emily really didn't understand, she only knew that Chu Zhongtian's mother was talking to her, and as for what she said, she didn't know. She kept a smile on her face, and after listening to Zhou Xiaoxiang's words, she turned her gaze to Chu Zhongtian, obviously waiting for Chu Zhongtian to translate for her.

"You translate for her!" Zhou Xiaoxiang commanded his son.

"This is also ...... this is really a new experience for Chu Zhongtian - to translate the advice of his mother asking his girlfriend to beware of going out and...... Why is it so awkward?

"Flip!" Mom is still very majestic, big and small Chu Zhongtian is afraid of his mother, not his father. Dad is a friend to him, and Mom is really an elder.

Looking at Emily's curious and expectant eyes, Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to translate his mother's words: "My mother said it...... Tell you to be careful that I go out on dates with other women under the pretext of dating, and ask me who I am going out on a date with in this case. ”

Emily covered her mouth and laughed, "Your mom is so funny. Isn't dating a normal thing though? ”

For foreigners, "dating" has a wide range of meanings, including meeting and partying. But for Chinese, "dating" basically refers to the kind of thing between men and women, most of which are related to love, and if it has nothing to do with love, it must be related to male and female love. So Chu Zhongtian's mother misunderstood the meaning of "dating" here, and Emily felt that it was not a big deal.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged at her, and then explained a little about the cultural differences between the East and the West.

She said to Zhou Xiaoxiang: "Ms. Zhou, don't worry, your son is very honest." There will definitely be nothing like what you said......" Speaking of this, she glanced at Chu Zhongtian and asked in English, "Did you say yes, Chu?" ”

"Ah, of course!" Don't dare to be sloppy on this issue, Chu Zhongtian replied categorically. "I'm not a playboy."

Emily smiled with satisfaction, and then motioned for Chu Zhongtian to translate to his mother.

Although Emily was kind enough to explain to Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian always had the feeling of "Wang Po sells melons and boasts" when translating this sentence.

It seems that either let your mother learn to speak English, or Emily learn to speak Chinese, or she will always let herself translate, so isn't it troublesome? Now it seems that it is difficult for her mother, who is almost 50 years old, to learn English, and the only way to make Emily work hard is to learn Chinese. Didn't she say that her mother was interested in exploring the Chinese market? At that time, it will be more convenient to be able to speak Chinese, and it can also increase the favorability of Emily in the Chinese market...... Teaching Emily to speak Chinese is also operational, and her mother is a Chinese teacher, and she started as a primary school teacher. According to her mother, she was assigned to teach the first grade in primary school when she just graduated, which started from Chinese pinyin, and the procedure for teaching Emily is similar, for Emily, who does not know Chinese, in the eyes of her mother, she is estimated to be a first-grade student.

Emily is going to stay here for another week, and during this week, I believe that my mother can give Emily some simple basic pinyin first. However, Emily may have to go through a difficult hurdle first, she must learn to pronounce "a" as "ah" instead of "eh...... There may be a period of chaos.

Chu Zhongtian told his mother and Emily about this sudden idea, and both of them were very interested in it. Emily has always wanted to learn Chinese, but Chu Zhongtian doesn't spend much time with him, and Chu Zhongtian is not a teacher and doesn't know how to teach Emily. He tried, but failed. There were a lot of things that he took for granted, but Emily didn't know anything about them, and if he skipped those parts and didn't talk about them, Emily wouldn't be able to understand them at all. For example, the Chinese word "of" is enough to make two people's heads bigger. After realizing that he didn't have the talent of a teacher, Chu Zhongtian stopped making this attempt, anyway, he could speak English and French, and he could communicate with Emily.

Teachers are also good teachers, Zhou Xiaoxiang heard that she was going to teach Emily to say Chinese, and she was very happy, she actually didn't want to just be a "nanny" here who cooks and cleans every day, and she can also play her professional expertise in a foreign country, which makes her feel very accomplished, full of fighting spirit, she even plans to start teaching Emily now, or Chu Zhongtian persuaded her, saying that at least she flew all day, go take a bath and take a hot shower, and relieve her fatigue...... ※※※ When her mother took a bath, Chu Zhongtian took her mother to the kitchen again, I told my mother about the use of all the facilities and the placement of the spices. Because he knew that his mother would definitely cook for Emily in the evening, she knew that Emily liked Sichuan food very much.

Sure enough, after Zhou Xiaoxiang knew this, he began to busily take out the Sichuan seasonings he brought from the box one by one and put them on the cupboard. The cupboards that used to be empty are now crowded all at once.

As he put it away, he muttered, "I wanted to bring you a jar of kimchi, but your father wouldn't let me bring it, and no one would eat it...... Am I not human? I know you're a professional footballer, so you have to avoid it, but it's okay to eat once in a while, right? ”

Chu Zhongtian could only look at so many Pixian bean pastes, hot pot fish seasonings, dried chili noodles, and Sichuan peppercorns from the side...... They were all put up, speechless.

He felt that his mother would be eager to move the whole vegetable market near his home...... However, Emily was very curious, and when she was helping Zhou Xiaoxiang tidy up together, she always picked it up and asked Chu Zhongtian: "What is this?" What is that? What is it? So what? ”

Live off a curious baby.

Sometimes, when Chu Zhongtian couldn't even answer, Zhou Xiaoxiang would use very broken English and Chinese, as well as gestures, to tell Emily the purpose of the object in her hand.

But her explanations are all the same. "Cook, eat, eat!" She made a gesture of digging rice into her mouth, then gave a thumbs up. "Make food! Fragrant! Good! ”

Emily thought that this was teaching her to speak Chinese, so she also repeated seriously: "Seven? Seven's? Foot Seven? Yet, After! ”

Chu Zhongtian was amused by the appearance of these two people.

It looks like their communication is going to get better.

※※※ Staying at home with his mother and Emily until half past five in the afternoon, Chu Zhongtian called Belmont and told him that he wanted to use the car and asked him to wait outside the house.

Then he said goodbye to Emily and her mother and went to the appointment.

This is the first time Chu Zhongtian has met with Belmont after the end of the season. Previously, he had either been examined and treated in Paris, or he had stayed at home honestly and never traveled anywhere, leaving the task of going out to buy to Emily.

So after seeing Chu Zhongtian, Belmont's first sentence made Chu Zhongtian realize that going to Mr. Legov's house today was probably not just a simple dinner.

"Hey, man. I heard that you are planning to leave Metz, is it true? ”

He took two newspapers for Chu Zhongtian, both of which were local newspapers in Metz, and the newspapers were photos of Chu Zhongtian, and the following headlines were similar, both saying that Chu Zhongtian might leave Metz and go to other teams.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian could say very simply: "It's not like that. ”

But he doesn't like to lie, especially this kind of lie that can be easily exposed. What if he does leave this summer? What would Belmont think of him? A villain who doesn't keep his word?

Chu Zhongtian has always believed that he is different from those professional players who have entered professional teams to receive systematic training since he was a child, his background is a fan, whether it is a fan of Sichuan Quanxing or a fan of Wimbledon, he has always felt that he is in the same group as those fans. He understands the feelings of the fans, they hate to lose, they don't like cowards who admit defeat early, in fact, sometimes if defeat is really inevitable, then as long as you fight hard until the last moment, the fans will still give you applause.

It's that simple.

Based on this feeling, Chu Zhongtian didn't want to give fans the impression that he had "betrayed them".

So in the face of Belmont's problem, he could only tell the truth: "It's just possible, Belmont." I didn't say I had to go. ”

"Hmm......" After listening to Chu Zhongtian's honest answer, Belmont didn't speak again. He didn't speak again all the way, he was unusually silent, and he didn't say anything until he said goodbye to Chu Zhongtian: "Goodbye, buddy." Call me when you go back and I'll pick you up. ”

Chu Zhongtian felt that a taciturn Belmont really made him uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that now he felt that the chattering Belmont was more normal. He wanted to say something, but the other party had already quickly formed a group into the car, started the car and left.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged, picked up the flowers and walked into the apartment he was once familiar with.

※※※The person who opened the door for him was Le Goff's daughter, and the two of them greeted her at the door, Chu Zhongtian handed her the bouquet, and then walked in. As soon as I entered, I saw Le Goff sitting on the dark red couch, watching TV intently. The TV screen showed the UEFA Cup final between Metz and Sevilla.

He thought it was strange.

"It's a game video." Le Goff's daughter whispered beside her with a bouquet of flowers. "In the last few days, my dad has been going to look at it every day."

After saying that, she went to arrange flowers, and Chu Zhongtian walked next to Le Goff.

"Are you all right, Monsieur Le Goff?" Chu Zhongtian greeted politely.

"Ah, it couldn't be better." Legov pressed the pause button, then turned back to greet Chu Zhongtian, who was standing. "Are you okay, Chu?" He pointed to Chu Zhongtian's right arm that was hanging up.

"It's recovering."

"What about a muscle strain in my left thigh?"

"I'm almost healed. Now I don't feel any pain when I exert my strength. ”

Le Goff nodded, indicating that he understood, and he asked: "So you can catch up with the new season of Ligue 1?" ”

Faced with this question, Chu Zhongtian didn't know how to answer. Didn't Le Goff know the news that he might leave Metz?

"I ...... I guess. Chu Zhongtian replied a little unnaturally.

Thankfully, Le Goff didn't dwell on the issue, pointing to the TV, "Would you like to watch this game with me, an old man?" ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Of course, very willingly." ”
