147 The willows are bright
Thank you for the tip of "Samsara 9999"! ――
Amsterdam is not all prosperous, Cruyff was born in the slums of Amsterdam, the vicissitudes of life, the times have changed, the current situation of Amsterdam is very similar to the famous cities around the world, the gap between the rich and the poor is very large.
Qin Xiong took a taxi to the home address left for him by Georgia and got off the bus, and he got off the bus and took a look.
It's a neighborhood that's not around the years, and the old houses have a traditional and conservative vibe, far less populous and trendy than the downtown complexes.
At this point in time, there are few pedestrians on the street, and they are probably all reunited at home.
The community is very clean, and it can be seen that the people who live here cherish the surrounding environment more than those glitzy situations, and in the hazy night, it seems that the flowers and plants planted in front of the house exude a fresh smell.
The street lamps here also emit a hazy light, and what Qin Xiong can't understand is that the residents here will light candles or small lights in front of the windowsills of their homes, dotted with stars, illuminating the streets.
He walked slowly with his gift bag in hand, looking at the house numbers on both sides of the street.
After confirming where Georgia's family was, Qin Xiong slowed down even more, tidied up his clothes a little, and tried his best to look as flawless as possible.
He didn't want to leave a bad impression on others, even if it was just an unintentional mistake in appearance.
Georgia's home is a two-story building, which is not very good in the Netherlands, it can be seen that the house has also gone through the wind and rain for at least 20 years, in the small courtyard in front of the door planted with flowers and plants that Qin Xiong does not know, the flowers have withered, full of green, in the winter background, showing an alternative quiet beauty.
Qin Xiong pushed open the door of the small courtyard, walked to the door of Georgia's house, raised his hand and was about to ring the doorbell, but was attracted by the wind chimes hanging on the eaves in the upper right.
Suddenly, Qin Xiong was standing outside the door and heard a noisy sound coming from inside the room.
"Georgia! Why would you invite a stranger to your home? Oh, my God! What if he's the bad guy? ”
"As I said, he's not a bad guy! He's the best and best big brother in the world! Dad also knows him, sister, how many times do you want me to say it, how many times? He is my invited guest, please respect my friend! ”
"Georgia, you're only ten years old, you have to listen to the adults! If you are not a good person, you must be a good person! You're mad at me! No, I'm going to call Uncle Locke, and although the police should be off today, I have to ask Uncle Locke to keep an eye on our side of the house, in case a bad guy comes to the door, we'll be in trouble! ”
"Sister! You! I'm not a kid anymore! I've grown up! Why can't I invite my friends to my home? Sister, I hate you! ”
Although Qin Xiong didn't hear it very clearly outside the door, he roughly understood it.
It seems that Georgia took the liberty of inviting an adult strange man to the house, causing the family to be uneasy.
It's just that what makes Qin Xiong think deeply is why the sister in Georgia's mouth seems to be very familiar when she speaks!
The door suddenly opened.
Qin Xiong stiffened in place in embarrassment, he hadn't pressed the doorbell yet, he was standing at the door, looking really a little ill-intentioned.
Georgia came into view, there were tears rolling in his eyes, his expression was very aggrieved, it seemed that he was about to run away from home, he saw Qin Xiong outside the door, he was suddenly stunned, and then walked forward quickly, grabbed Qin Xiong's hand and was about to run out.
"Georgia, where are you going? Come back! ”
Qin Xiong was not moved, and Georgia shouted without looking back, "No! Sister, you don't respect me, I'll never come back! ”
He was like an aggrieved and willful child, shouting and trying to drag Qin Xiong away from home.
Qin Xiong still stood in place, not moving.
He was stunned.
Because he saw inside the house, it was supposed to be Georgia's sister, who was holding a phone in one hand, and it seemed that she was going to call Uncle Locke.
And Georgia's sister's footsteps chasing outside the door stopped instantly, her expression became incredible, and she stood in place sluggishly.
The two called each other together in a questioning tone.
"Qin Xiong?"
"Sylvia?"
Obviously, the two of them knew each other, but they used a questioning tone.
Immediately, they all turned their eyes to Georgia, who turned around at this time.
"Are you Georgia's friend?"
"You're Georgia's sister?"
Georgia wiped away her tears and stopped running, he faced his sister with dignity and said loudly: "Yes, he is my friend!" Sister, you don't welcome him, I hate you! ”
Qin Xiong patted Georgia's shoulder lightly and said in a deep voice, "Georgia, your sister's worries and worries are correct, never say such things to your sister again." ”
Georgia turned her head, clearly angry at Sylvia's criticism of him.
Today's children also love face, and their name is strong self-esteem.
Sylvia recovered from her nervousness and uneasiness, and she saw Georgia holding Qin Xiong's hand, and her mind was full of thoughts for a while.
Qin Xiong said that there would be a date tonight.
Could it be that this date was promised to Georgia?
It's not a beautiful woman, and it's certainly not a handsome guy.
Sylvia couldn't have imagined that Qin Xiong refused his invitation in order to fulfill his agreement with his younger brother!
She was suddenly stunned, sure enough, this is Qin Xiong's style.
Her heart was full of emotion, she stepped forward and took the initiative to apologize to Georgia, then straightened up and smiled at Qin Xiong: "It turns out that you said you had a date, but you were with him." ”
Qin Xiong glanced at Georgia with a soft gaze, nodded and said: "Well, I've known him for three months, and when I exercised by myself outside of training, he was mostly with me, and unconsciously, the relationship with him seemed to be two brothers, oh, Zeller They said so." ”
Sylvia sighed lightly and said, "I didn't know he knew you, in fact, except for holidays, I rarely go home, and I usually live in the school dormitory, well, to save time." Come inside and welcome to my house. ”
Georgia burst into tears and laughed, and enthusiastically pulled Qin Xiong into the house.
Qin Xiong walked into the house and remembered that Sylvia seemed to have said the night before yesterday that her family was a family of three.
Then, apart from the siblings, there should be only one person left.
Her home is warmly furnished today, with a fire burning in the fireplace, a small Christmas tree in the corner, with charms wrapped in sweets and small gifts, and the room is spotless, except that the furniture and appliances have not been changed in years, and even the television looks small and old.
Qin Xiong handed the gift bag he brought to Georgia and said some blessings, wishing him healthy growth in the new year and so on.
Georgia excitedly went upstairs with a gift bag.
Sylvia sat Qin Xiong on the sofa, she brought a fruit plate and asked Qin Xiong to cushion his stomach first, and in the other dining room, her father was preparing Christmas dinner.
Qin Xiong probably knew that there was no hostess in Sylvia's house, that is, the mother of the two siblings.
She then also took the initiative to tell Qin Xiong about the situation at home.
Her mother, who died ten years ago.
Not staying in the living room for long, Sylvia smiled and invited Qin Xiong to the dining room to prepare for Christmas dinner together.
Qin Xiong came to the dining room and saw Sylvia's father.
To his surprise, Sylvia's father was obviously in poor health.
He is skinny and wears a warm hat woven of wool indoors.
However, her father was very kind, and when he saw Qin Xiong, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and smile: "Welcome to my house as a guest, Georgia often mentions you to me, saying that you are his teacher and taught him to play football, thank you very much, young people nowadays rarely have patience with children, I can see that he has become stronger, and his will is tougher than before, like a little man." ”
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Slote, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't teach Georgia anything, just some of the most basic things."
Holding Sylvia's father's hand, Qin Xiong felt his heart touched, because he felt that what he was holding was the fleshless palm bone.
His health must be very, very poor!
Especially after saying a few words, the frequency of his gasping increased significantly.
Qin Xiong was an outsider, so it was hard to ask, but when he looked at Sylvia, his eyes changed slightly.
He finally understood.
Why is Sylvia so hard.
Why did Georgia say bluntly when she first met him that she wanted to be a big star and make money.
