Chapter 12: Why are you here so early?
The Chinese surname Lin in Yaqi Town is a family of three, the old couple are over half a hundred years old, and the girl is only fourteen years old. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The old couple writes and sells paintings for a living, and the girl is in junior high school in a nearby town, and today weekend at home to help.
As both Chinese, of course, it is more cordial to meet.
Xu Yafei likes to socialize, and soon mingled with the Lin family's mother and daughter, talking and laughing.
"Mr Lim, I'm a new student in the Leeds United Academy and would like to rent a house in town. Look at ......" Xu Yifei was invited to the living room by the head of the Lin family, and as soon as he sat down, he bluntly explained his intentions.
"Leeds Academy freshmen? Haha, yes, really give us Chinese long faces! Lin Geng, the head of the Lin family, said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, you have won the prize!" Xu Yifei said politely.
"I have a few extra rooms in my house, but we don't have a rental business. However, since they are all Chinese, I will make an exception to rent it to you! Lin Geng is also very enthusiastic, "Let's go, I'll take you to the back to have a look." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Xu Yifei stood up from the stool and followed behind Lin Geng.
There are four empty rooms in total, which are connected. The décor is very basic and the facilities are far from complete, but they are cleaned quite cleanly. It can be seen from this that the three members of the Lin family are by no means lazy people.
"Mr. Lin, I want these four!" Xu Yifei was quite satisfied with the room. And it's close to Leeds United's training base, and there's a big grass area behind the room for him to train in the morning. In the town of Yaqi, it is estimated that there is almost no such ideal place to live.
"It's all going to be ......" Lin Geng was stunned for a while.
"Well, yes, in addition to the bedroom, I need a study, and a gym. The rest of the room was reserved for my sister, who occasionally came to stay. And in the open space in the back, I have to practice in the morning. Xu Yifei explained.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, don't worry, rent is not a problem!" Xu Yiwu added on the side.
"Good! Good! Renting out four houses at once, Lin Geng was also a little surprised.
After negotiating the price, downloading a rental contract from the Internet and signing it by both parties, Xu Yifei paid three months' rent in advance: £1,200.
There is a moving company to take care of the moving, but there is no trouble, but the big sandbag takes a little effort.
At the same time, Xu Yiwu called his father and invited two relatives to the Xu family villa to take care of Xu Yafei's life.
Everything was arranged, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the three brothers and sisters had dinner at the Lin family restaurant.
After a few words of explanation, he left another bank card, and Xu Yiwu drove his sister Xu Yafei back to Roseville.
"Jin Lao, how is it? Is there anything that is not in place? Walking into the gym that had just been set up alone, Xu Yifei asked in his heart.
"That's right, let's practice boxing! Well, it's a little cold, turn on the air conditioner to prevent a cold. ”
"Hmm!" With a promise from the bottom of his heart, Xu Yifei turned on the air conditioner and changed into a practice uniform.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Yifei finished his morning training outside, and when he came back with a football, he found that Lin Geng was writing hard.
Thinking that before the soul transfer, his father Xu Yulong also sold words for a living, and he had to practice words every day, Xu Yifei suddenly became excited, so he walked over to watch.
It can be seen at a glance that Lin Geng's handwriting is much stronger than Xu Yulong, even surpassing ordinary calligraphers.
"Wow, Mr. Lin, your handwriting is so good!" Xu Yifei couldn't help but praise.
"Oh? Do you also like calligraphy? Lin Geng finished writing a piece of rice paper, put down the brush and asked.
"Hmm!" Xu Yifei did not deny it, "I have learned, but the writing is not good." Mr. Lin, teach me! ”
"Oh? Nowadays, there are not many young people among Chinese who want to practice calligraphy, and even fewer outside of China! It's rare for you to have this heart, so I'll teach you! Lin Geng looked at Xu Yifei and felt that this little guy's attitude was not bad, and besides, the rent was also a lot, so he took out a copy of the notebook from the table and handed it to Xu Yifei, saying: "In this way, you first practice this "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", and lay a good foundation in regular script first!" ”
"Okay, thank you Mr. Lin!" Xu Yifei was overjoyed.
Lin Geng gave him another brush, a bottle of ink and a stack of Yuan book paper.
It was still early, so Xu Yifei practiced calligraphy for a while.
Because of the transfer of souls and the change of body, Xu Yifei's calligraphy level has dropped to a miserable level.
However, Xu Yifei is not discouraged, he is confident enough to improve his calligraphy level.
After brushing the brush, Xu Yifei prepared to go out to find a small restaurant to have some breakfast.
However, when he walked to the front living room, he was stopped by Lin Geng: "Xiao Xu, let's have breakfast with us." The more you are, the more pairs of chopsticks. ”
Lin Geng's wife Zhou Lihua and daughter Lin Xinya also unanimously stayed with him for dinner.
It is difficult to be gracious, Xu Yifei is not a hypocritical person, so he had breakfast at Lin's house.
……
Just after half past eight o'clock, Xu Yifei walked outside the gate of the training base.
"Young man, who are you looking for?" The old janitor at the training base asked with his head stuck out of the guard's room.
"Oh, I'm in training. I was selected as an Academy player yesterday. Xu Yifei explained.
"Oh? Just made the cut yesterday? The old janitor was still a little uneasy, "Why are you here so early?" ”
"Early? It's half past eight. Xu Yifei looked at his watch and said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's a rookie, everyone else has to come after 8:45, and now the entire training base is empty! Wait, I can't let you in without verifying your identity right now! The old janitor retracted his head.
Xu Yifei was helpless, so he had to wait outside the electric gate.
Sure enough, it took 15 minutes for a Mercedes to drive up.
"The British people's concept of time is really strong......" Xu Yifei smiled bitterly.
"Hi Uncle Jack, morning!" Leeds United youth manager Ronnie. Jepson rolled down the window and shouted at the janitor's room.
"Mr. Jepson, you're early!" Old man Jack hurriedly opened the electric door and smiled at Jepson in the car.
"Hey, Mr. Jepson, you're early!" Xu Yifei recognized the person and immediately rushed over.
"Oh, Xu, you've arrived early?" Jepson was slightly surprised.
"yes, I've been waiting for 15 minutes!" Xu Yifei spread his hands and said with a smile.
"You're early!" As soon as Jepson saw the situation, he knew that Xu Yifei must have eaten a closed door, smiled slightly, and said, "Get in the car." Uncle Jack just did what he had to do, don't blame him. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Jepson." Xu Yifei pulled the car door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"Huh? Is this kid really a freshman in the academy? Asian students, it's rare......" Old man Jack muttered.
"Uncle Jack, there will be a few newcomers coming to report today, this is their information, you take it! If they come, please ask them to come to Training Ground 1 to find me. As for the veterans, let them go to training ground No. 2. ”
The Mercedes drove over buildings, around a huge artificial lake, and parked in the parking lot next to the No. 1 training ground.
Stepping out of the car and taking a deep breath of air, Xu Yifei felt relaxed.
Soon, other students also arrived.
"Force!"
A whistle sounded, and Jepson gathered several teenagers together: "Your transfer procedures, we will complete it today." In the future, you can train here with peace of mind. Now, please follow me to the locker room and choose your jersey number......"
