On November 8, 2011, Zhang Xu's parents' plane landed on time at Brussels International Airport. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a nervous heart, Zhang Xu picked up the plane with Nicola.

Originally, Zhang Xu didn't plan to let Nicola come, but Nicola explained that your parents want to scold you, and if she is an outsider, you won't behave too much.

Zhang Xu also felt that what Nicola said made sense, so he agreed.

It's just that Nicola is dressed up too beautifully, not only beautiful but also elegant, revealing an aristocratic style from the inside out.

"You're nervous?" Seeing Zhang Xu's tangled face, Nicola couldn't help but smile and asked jokingly.

"Can you not be nervous? I'm so worried that my father will skin me! As soon as he thought of his father's thunderous appearance, Zhang Xu trembled.

"Hehe, Zhang, you look so cute now!"

Nicola kept teasing Zhang Xu, but her heart was also nervous, and a hand of sweat appeared slightly in the palm of her right hand.

In the past two days, she has checked a lot of information about Chinese customs and understood one thing, that is, in China, parents have a great say in the marriage of their children, and in China, the most difficult relationship to deal with is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

As soon as she thought of the words mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Nicola couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhang Xu, and her cheeks showed a hint of red.

Therefore, she is also worried that Zhang Xu's parents will be dissatisfied with her, and she is even more worried that she will not have a good relationship with Zhang Xu's mother. For this reason, she deliberately dressed up carefully before picking up the airport, just to leave a good first impression in front of Zhang Xu's parents.

At 4:30 p.m., Zhang Xu's parents appeared at the pick-up gate.

"Mom, Dad! Over here! Over here! Zhang Xu waved his right hand vigorously at his parents and greeted him loudly.

When his parents came to him, Zhang Xu hurriedly and diligently helped with his luggage.

"Humph!" The father snorted dissatisfiedly in his nostrils, but still handed the luggage to Zhang Xu. While handing over the luggage, the mother generally supported Zhang Xu's body and looked at her son carefully.

"Thin! It's black! But it's sturdy! You must have suffered a lot, kid! As she spoke, tears welled up in her mother's eyes.

"Alright, everyone, let's go!" The father patted his mother's shoulder, and then glared at Zhang Xu: "Bastard, don't you hurry up and lead the way?" ”

"Oh, okay, Mom, Dad, go this way!" Zhang Xu was startled by his father's roar, and hurriedly dragged his luggage and prepared to leave, even Nicola forgot to introduce it to his parents.

"Hello uncle and aunt!" At this time, Nicola intervened in time and greeted Zhang Xu's parents generously in a not very proficient Chinese.

"Huh?" The parents looked at the blonde girl in surprise, not knowing who the other party was, and after looking at it, they turned their eyes to Zhang Xu.

The parents actually saw Nicola next to Zhang Xu, but there were more people at the airport pick-up gate, and they thought that this beautiful girl was here to pick up others, so they didn't care at all, and they didn't expect that the other party was coming to pick up the airport with their son.

"Who is she?" The mother asked curiously, "Is it the female ...... you talked about?"

"No, no, no!" Zhang Xu hurriedly denied: "She is a classmate of mine in college, and recently, she has been playing here recently, so she came with me." ”

"Humph! College classmates? What kind of college classmates can accompany their parents who pick up their classmates? You kid, huh! At a glance, the father saw that Zhang Xu and Nicola were a little indistinguishable, and couldn't help but snort.

"My name is Nicola! Uncle and aunt, you have worked hard all the way, let's hurry to the hotel! Nicola enthusiastically took her mother's arm and walked towards the exit.

This time, Nicola spoke in English, and her mother couldn't understand it at all, although she didn't understand what the other party was saying, but she could feel Nicola's enthusiasm.

As he walked, he turned back to his father and said, "Old man, I think this girl is not bad, don't always keep a straight face and frighten the children!" I'll talk about it when I have something to do! ”

"Humph!" Father snorted, but his face finally softened.

Seeing that his father's face was finally better, Zhang Xu suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten, and he quickly pulled the suitcase and walked in front to lead the way.

Along the way, Nicola kept asking questions, asking questions about the cold and warmth, and behaved extremely enthusiastically, even more filial than the new daughter-in-law.

But it's a pity that she speaks all in English, and she speaks quickly, and her parents, who only speak a little English, can't understand what she's saying at all, and can only feel that this beautiful girl is very enthusiastic.

At the beginning, Zhang Xu also translated a few sentences casually, but later he was also shocked by Nicola's enthusiasm, so he simply stopped translating, and walked away with his head down.

At this point, the parents can see that although Zhang Xu flatly denied that he had nothing to do with this girl, the two must have a relationship that is different from or beyond the friendship of classmates.

Speechless all the way.

When he came to the Voluvo district, Zhang Xu arranged for his parents to stay in the hotel closest to his club, and Nicola also stayed in this hotel.

"Uncle and aunt, you guys talk to Zhang for a while, I'll arrange dinner, and we'll have dinner together when we come back, okay?" After her parents sat down on the couch in their hotel room, Nicola asked understandingly.

After Zhang Xu's translation, his parents hurriedly said thank you.

"You're welcome, Zhang and I are classmates, it's okay!" Nicola waved at her parents, then winked at Zhang Xu, left the room, and closed the door of the room.

"What is this girl's relationship with you? Girlfriend? As soon as Nicola left, her mother couldn't help but ask.

"Definitely!" The father immediately came to an arbitrary conclusion: "This bastard boy not only looks forward to his parents, but also abducts a foreign girl to be his girlfriend!" Hum! ”

"It's not my girlfriend!" Zhang Xu smiled bitterly and distinguished: "It's just college classmates, parents, don't guess." ”

"Humph! It's strange to believe you! The father suddenly sank his face: "What is this called, Ni, Nicola will not say it for the time being, you can explain to us, why you don't read good books and go to Belgium to play football?" Well? ”

Speaking of business, her mother also straightened her face and stared at Zhang Xu to see how Zhang Xu would answer.

"Mom, Dad, I haven't given up on my studies, I'm still a student at the University of Paris VI, and my academic performance has always been at the top of the school!" As he spoke, Zhang Xu took out the transcript that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to his parents.

The parents looked at the report card suspiciously, and the comments on it were incomprehensible, but the big "A+" on it was still understandable. Obviously, what Zhang Xu said was not wrong.

"Okay," my father's face softened a little, "It's good that you haven't given up your studies, so what's the matter with you playing football?" What reporters did you listen to, you tried out everywhere, found about 70 clubs, and no one wanted you, and finally settled in this White Star team? ”

"Mom and Dad, you all know, I love football, I love football, and I always wanted to be a successful professional footballer! And in Europe, the paradise of football, I think I can pursue my dreams without affecting my studies! Now it seems that I'm doing a good job too, right? Zhang Xu thought for a while, and after organizing the language, he replied seriously.

"Xu'er, so many clubs don't want you, have you suffered a lot of grievances?" My mother could imagine the scene at the time of the trial, and she couldn't help but ask distressedly.

"Mom, a man, what's the point of being wronged? Besides, aren't I fine now, too? A lot of first-division teams want to buy me! Zhang Xu raised his head a little proudly.

"Look at you! Hum! The father snorted coldly, and suddenly beat Zhang Xu's erect chest again.

"Okay, my son has also fulfilled his dream, and his studies have not been delayed, isn't it good? Before you came, you were worried that your son had abandoned his studies, but now it seems that your son is not wrong, what a good thing! When the mother saw that her father still had a straight face, she immediately said a few words unhappily.

"Who knows if his report card is real or fake? No, I have to go to their school and ask their professors. Yes, tomorrow! It seems that his father still doesn't believe Zhang Xu's transcript, and decides to go to the University of Paris VI tomorrow to ask Zhang Xu about the real situation.

"It's fine, but it's not that I don't believe my son, I just want to see where my son is studying." The mother looked at Zhang Xu lovingly, with a doting look on her face.

"Tomorrow?" Zhang Xu thought about it, and it seemed that he could only ask for leave from head coach Matsu.

Fortunately, the next game was postponed to November 20 due to the national break, so there was a very free time to spend with my parents.

I believe that after my parents come into contact with their professors, they should believe that they have not delayed their studies. Then ask your parents to visit the club, see the team's training, meet with head coach Matsu and assistant coach Philippe, and their team-mates, and maybe your parents will change their way of thinking about football.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Nicola knocked on the door of the room and politely invited Zhang Xu's parents to dinner.

At dinner, the mother pulled Nicola to sit together, asking East and West, but Nicola couldn't understand, Zhang Xu could only translate for the two of them.

"Hello Nicola, you're also studying at the University of Paris VI?"

"Nicola, what are you studying?"

"Acting department? Is it dance or opera? ”

"Movies? Are you a movie star? ”

......

When his parents heard that Nicola was a movie star, they didn't have any special feelings, but they just explained to Zhang Xu: "The entertainment industry is mixed, it's not a place for girls to stay, if possible, it's better to leave the entertainment industry as soon as possible." Go back and persuade Nicola not to delay yourself! ”

"Okay!" Zhang Xu replied weakly, as far as he knew, Nicola just wanted to make a breakthrough in the film industry, so she came from the United States to Paris VI University to study performing arts, and it was almost impossible for Nicola to give up her film career.

Besides, you care too much about Nicola, you just treat Nicola as a daughter-in-law! Zhang Xu muttered dissatisfiedly.

Yes!

Zhang Xu suddenly reacted, his parents' eyes were full of appreciation and satisfaction when they looked at Nicola, isn't this just looking at their daughter-in-law's eyes?

Now it's a big deal!
