0016 Fish & Chips
George Lee walked out of the house and began to walk towards the house called Charlotte, as Olson had said.
His house is located on Park Street, next to a large lawn and a golf course, which he bought because of the environment.
He didn't have long to walk, but he walked to the front of the house, which was full of cardboard boxes, and looked at the boxes, and sure enough, as Olson said, he had just moved in.
Although the door was not closed, he knocked on the door a few times out of courtesy.
"Come in, are you back so soon?" A man's voice came from inside.
George Lee didn't go in, but continued to stand in the doorway, speaking inside.
"Hello, I'm here to pick up my son, I heard he is playing at your house."
"Oh, here we are."
The man who spoke just now walked out, and George Li looked at the man, guessing that it should be Charlotte's father. The man is not very tall, but has a large belly, wears a plaid shirt and holds a hammer in his hand.
"Hello, George Lee." George Lee introduced himself and held out his hand.
The man quickly put the hammer aside, wiped it on his shirt, and reached out to shake it with him.
"Hello, my name is William Black, just call me William."
"Mr. Black, why didn't you see Sean?" Although George Lee really wanted to get to know that Charlotte Black, since he didn't see his son, he should still look for his son first.
"They went to my store to play, and as you can see, we just moved in, and the house was in a mess, so I asked my wife to take their children to my store to eat. They will be back in a moment. ”
"William, what kind of shop do you own?" Figuring out his son's whereabouts, George Lee's address to Mr. Black has also changed.
"Fish and chips. My fried fish is very famous in Wales. ”
"Oh, is it? The next time you have a chance, you must try it. Although George Lee doesn't like such things as fried fish, he still says so out of politeness.
Hearing that George Lee was interested in his fried fish, Mr. Black got excited and began to sell his shop non-stop.
"Do you know, my previous fried fish shop, although it tasted good, but business has not been very good."
"Why?"
"Maybe it's not a big name, we used to call it Fisher Fish & Chips, until I changed it to a louder name, George, you guess what. ”
"How could I possibly know." Lee found this Mr. Black to be a bit talkative.
"Charles, I renamed it Charles Fish & Chips, and business went up. ”
"That's great." George Lee just wanted to end the topic early and ask about Charlotte Black that he cared about.
"Do you know why, because the Prince of Wales is Charles."
"Uh, okay."
"Don't you think it's amazing?"
"William, I heard that your son has just joined Leeds United's youth team, and it just so happens that I am ......"
George Lee hadn't finished speaking before he was interrupted.
"I know, you're the manager of Leeds United, and your son Sean told us about it when he came. Mr. Black put the hammer down in his hand.
"yes, what else did he say, he is usually a very boring person, and he doesn't have many friends, so it's a good thing to be good friends with your son."
"Actually, I recognized you when I saw you just now, but I didn't expect you to be our neighbor."
"Yes."
"It's just that I didn't know that Sean was actually your son, because you see, your surname ......"
"Adopted son." George Li told the other party very directly.
"Okay."
"William, how did you recognize me?"
"Of course, because of Charlotte, I usually pay more attention to football. Also, because we often show football broadcasts and other football-related programmes in the store, I still know you as the manager of Leeds United. ”
"Well, can you tell me a little bit about Charlotte, I heard he was a star player in Cardiff before." In front of his father, George Li can only say something nice.
"Yes, Cardiff's coach must have been crying before, I tell you, you've found a treasure......" Mr. Black praised his son as if he were praising his fried fish.
"What position does he play?" George Lee didn't want to listen to the unnutritious compliments because he didn't get any useful information from them.
'He played right in Cardiff, he was very fast, he was arguably the fastest of any footballer of his age in Wales, and I had a track and field coach who invited him to sprint and I turned him down.......
George Lee could only hear that Charlotte was running fast from his words, and everything else was about this, but he was really embarrassed to interrupt a father's praise for himself.
It seems that we can only wait for the Wallace boy to come back and inquire from him.
Sean Wallace's temperament is more introverted, and he will definitely not say such a long paragraph, great is great, excellent is excellent.
"Charlotte's right foot is outstanding, I think it's completely comparable to David Beckham...... He also had a good left foot, because for a while his coach didn't allow him to kick with his right foot...... It seems that they also have a kid there because his left foot is too good, and the coach won't let him use his left foot...... What kind of weird training is this, do you use it at Leeds United? ”
"No, we don't." George Lee was a bit perfunctory, because he didn't hear Charlotte's technical characteristics from the passage just now, and if his right foot was really the same as Beckham's, Cardiff would not let Charlotte go.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
George Lee hurriedly turned around to see if Mrs. Black had returned with Wallace and Charlotte's two children.
But no, it's a girl in her 20s.
The girl wore a ponytail, a simple white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, a shoulder bag, and two books in her hand.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Helen, you're back." Mr. Black saw that his daughter was back and offered to say hello.
"Mom, where's they?"
"She took Charlotte and them to the store."
"This is ......" The girl was very curious when she saw the strange man who appeared at home.
"He's our new neighbor, Mr. Lee." After William Blake finished introducing George Lee, he began to introduce his daughter again, "George, this is my eldest daughter, Helen. ”
"Hello." "Hello." The two nodded.
"Helen is a medical student at the University of Leeds, she will graduate next year, she has been living on campus before, and this year we are going to open a shop in Leeds, so she is now on a day ......"
"Dad, you talk, I'll go up first." Helen obviously knew her father, and she would talk non-stop when she spoke. So chose to flee the scene.
"It seems that your daughter and son are excellent, William."
"Yes, my wife's three children and I are very good, Helen has always had excellent academic performance, Charlotte has shown a super high talent for football since she was a child, and as for Annie, my wife has always wanted her to learn to sing, but I don't think so, you know the entertainment industry......"
George Li heard from his words that he had three children, two daughters, and one son, all of whom were very good.
Of course, the last sentence needs to be verified, so he would love to see Charlotte now, he would love to call John Sheridan when he gets home, and of course he hasn't forgotten that he came here to pick up Wallace's kid.
"We're back." At this time, a little girl came in first.
He was followed by a boy of fifteen or sixteen and a woman of about forty.
The boy looks young, but he is already about 1.8 meters tall, and his body is quite sturdy.
This should be William Black's wife, daughter, and Charlotte Black, who George Lee has been looking forward to for a long time.
But George Lee discovered one thing, Wallace didn't show up.
"Where's Sean?" Mr. Black asked for George Lee.
"After I came out of the store, I dropped him off on the way back first." Mrs. Black said.
"Oh, it looks like George, you're running for nothing."
"It's fine." Knowing that his son had arrived home, George Li was also relieved.
"My dear, this is Mr Lee who is our neighbour and he is the manager of Leeds United." Mr. Black introduced Lee to his wife, and then called his son over.
"Charlotte, come and meet your coach and behave well under him in the future."
"Hello, Mrs. Black."
"Hello, Mr. Li, Charlotte will trouble you in the future."
"It's not a problem, I'm usually in charge of the first team, and Charlotte's training is done by the other two coaches. Of course, from your husband I know that your son is a very good player and I think he will be reporting to my first team soon. Out of politeness, George Li could only say this first.
"That's great."
"It's not too early, I'll go back, and my children are still waiting for me at home."
"Okay."
George Lee says goodbye to the Black family.
"When you have time to come to my store to eat fried fish, I'll treat you. It's right on the edge of Canal Park, across the Avenue des Princes. ”
George Lee was out of their house, and Mr. Black was still shouting at him inside.
^^^
George Lee returned home again.
Entering the door, I saw that Wallace had indeed returned home, working out in his room downstairs, and from the open door of the room, he could be seen lifting dumbbells non-stop.
Olsen was still eating on the couch.
George Lee walked through the living room and walked straight to the door of Wallace's room.
"You met a new friend today?"
Wallace stopped his workout and looked up at him.
"Did you say Charlotte?"
"Yes, can you tell me about him?"
"You've heard that he's on our youth team." Wallace guessed his father's intentions.
'Yes, I've heard he's the fastest player in all of Wales' youth squads.'
"No, it's not."
Sure enough, George Lee felt that this kind of good thing would not be spread on his and Leeds United's heads, and he was happy in vain.
That's when Wallace was heard to continue.
'He told me he was only second in Wales and that there was one guy who was faster than him, they were team-mates and good friends, but then he went to Southampton.
Sounds good, too.
"Did you play with him today, how was his technique?" George Lee asked Wallace again.
'Charlotte is very fast, he's very strong, he's got a good right foot, he can make some good passes, he's got a good left foot, and I'm curious how he trains.
George Lee thought that Mr. Black's words, though long-winded, were all credible, because Wallace never lied.
It seems that their fish and chips should taste good, but he doesn't like to eat fried fish.
"It's good, I hope I can see you in the first team soon, you can continue to practice."
After saying that, George Lee turned around and was about to leave, but he came back to ask Wallace.
"I'm curious, what's the name of the guy who is faster than Charlotte, did Charlotte tell you?"
Li had already thought about it, asked the name, and turned around and asked Sheridan to dig the corner.
"Seems to be called Bell, Gareth Bell."
"Oh~" George Lee got the answer he wanted.
At this time, Olsen also walked to the door of Wallace's room with a cardboard box, chewing something in his mouth.
"Hey, Sean, Charlotte's fried fish tastes really good, can you bring me with you next time you go to their house to play, I think the fries are just fried to be delicious."
George Lee glanced at the cardboard box in Olsen's hand, and sure enough, it read "Charles Fish and Chips".
"Why don't you eat some?" Lee asked Wallace.
Wallace replied, holding the dumbbells.
"I was recently asking Coach Colin about fitness, and he said that people who fit out can eat this high-calorie fried food."
After listening to Wallace, George Lee picked up a piece of fried fish from Olson's box and ate it.
It tastes really good.
