Chapter 14: Send blessings

When Li Ziqiang brought a hard dish he cooked to the table, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law were pointing at the TV screen and saying, "Qing Qing!"
So he also looked up at the TV.
Sure enough, the daughter wearing a Paris Héger jersey was sitting in front of the camera lens, and said to the camera, "It's another Spring Festival, I wish you all auspicious Year of the Snake in Paris, all the best and good health!"
Seeing his daughter's good-looking appearance, Li Ziqiang couldn't help but smile.
It's been a year and a half since I went abroad to play football. My daughter has lived there alone. She has become more independent and has grown a lot. She looks generous in TV shots.
This really relieved him as a father.
Well, my daughter has grown up.
The shot belonging to Li Qingqing has not yet passed.
After extending holiday greetings to the Chinese fans in front of the TV, she also talked about her career prospects in the new year.
"I will continue to train hard in the new year and live up to everyone's expectations of me... I hope to help the team win the Champions League..."
The two old people and Li Ziqiang looked at the granddaughter on the TV screen with a smile, and saw how their daughter who had died for many years looked like in her.
The TV screen went black and a sentence was typed in the middle:
What else to say?
Then the shady disappeared, and Li Qingqing appeared in front of the camera again. She twisted her body and smiled happily: "Also? There is also the New Year's Day. There is another Chinese player who studied abroad like me. He was selected for the competition. List. I hope he can play... Come on, Hu Lai!"
She slapped her fists at the camera lens.
No, I take back what I just said, she hasn't grown up yet!
Li Ziqiang lowered his head, not wanting the two elders to see the changes on his face.
But his father-in-law suddenly asked: "Strengthen yourself, that Hu Lai seems to be your player, right?"
Li Ziqiang had to raise his head to force a smile: "Yes, Dad. He used to play in the Dongchuan Middle School football team."
"No wonder Qingqing would know him... eh, how about that Hu Lai...?"
"Huh?" Li Ziqiang didn't react.
How about what?
Looks? Ball skills? Or character?
"Didn't I see the media hyping him and Qingqing as the'golden boy and jade girl of Chinese football'? I just want to know what this boy is like. After all, he is on the same level as Qingqing. If he is not worthy of Qingqing, Isn't it a bad reputation to publicize it like this?" said the father-in-law, and the mother-in-law nodded next to him, obviously this was the second elder's idea.
There was a tangled look on Li Ziqiang's face.
He really wants to tell the second elder boy that there are 10,000 granddaughters who are not worthy of them, but as the most famous and most prestigious player in Chinese football, how can he be "not worthy"?
So he sighed and said, "Just a normal boy... mediocre appearance, personality... In short, it's not bad or bad, and it's not much better. Don't care about what the media say. Attracting attention, dare to say anything, what kind of "golden girl and jade girl", nonsense. Few people really care about this title..."
"Oh..." After listening to the son-in-law's explanation, the second elder turned to watch the TV.
Their granddaughter has disappeared from the screen and replaced with Hulay in Leeds training clothes.
The plain-looking boy grinned at them and said loudly: "The new year is here, and Hu Lai is here to wish all brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents all the best Shun the seven stars and shine in all directions to come to wealth, nine-nine, one-hearted, perfect Pepsi-Cola everything is auspicious and everything goes well!"
The two elderly people were taken aback, and the father-in-law murmured: "Improve your football team still teach cross talk?"
Li Ziqiang spread out his hands speechlessly: "He is such a person..."
The mother-in-law laughed happily next to him: "Oh, this mouth really says, this is the first time I have seen a crosstalk actor playing football..."
Li Ziqiang wanted to know that he should come to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law to accompany them on New Year's Eve yesterday, and to accompany his parents today, so that he would not be asked about Hu Lai by his parents-in-law...

"...I wish you all a good health, a good mood, a good study, a good appetite, a good future, a good life, a good life, and a good life journey, and a happy day!"
When Hu Lai on the TV screen said this in one breath, the relatives of Hu Lai in front of the TV suddenly said, "Okay! Well said!!"
With the applause, everyone got up from the sofa and chairs one after another.
"Hurry up to eat! After eating, watch the game!" Xie Lan's sister-in-law greeted everyone in the restaurant.
Xie Lan assisted her father and walked slowly with her mother. Others crowded around them.
On the night of the New Year’s Day, Hu Lai’s eldest uncle, Xie Lan’s eldest brother, fulfilled his promise, inviting all relatives to his house for dinner, and then watch the football after dinner, and arranged this evening to be suitable.
The large round table in the dining room was filled with vegetables, and besides, a square table was temporarily set up in the living room, which was also covered with vegetables.
Because there are not enough chairs, some people even have to eat while standing.
But no one cares.
After the men were seated, they filled up the wine, the women arranged seats for everyone, and the children ran to the sofa with their rice bowls, eating and watching TV.
The CCTV Sports Channel on TV is warming up for the kick-off game at 8:30.
A trailer for a documentary about Hu Lai’s transfer to Leeds City is being played, reminding viewers in front of the TV that this will be broadcast in the "Football Feast" program that will be broadcast on the second Thursday of the Chinese New Year. Ninety-minute documentary.
If Hu Lai can play in today's game, then watching his documentary tomorrow, the mood is just right.

"Hahaha, did you watch the video of Hu Lai's New Year's greetings on TV just now?"
"Looking at it, Guankou said it was good!"
"Crosstalk football real hammer!"
"Good fellow, I saw this scene as soon as I turned on the TV. I thought it was a box-sealing performance by Baiyun Club..."
Yan Yan bowed his head and typed a quick sentence on the phone, and then clicked to send, the original Weibo had such an additional forwarding:
"Is this not much better than yesterday's Spring Festival Gala?"
After posting his Weibo, he picked up his glass and got up and yelled: "Come on! Let's have a drink first, I wish Hu Lai can play today in the game!"
The people around the round table stood up and picked up their wine glasses: "It's done, it's done!"
Today is a dinner for the old members of their Dongchuan Middle School football team. When Yan Yan arranged the dinner, I really didn’t expect Hu Lai to be selected for this game. After all, this was scheduled before the Spring Festival holiday. After coming down, the restaurant rooms are also booked in advance.
If you wait until you know that Hu Lai has entered the big list, you won't even be able to name a few.
Yesterday, after knowing that Hu Lai would enter the competition list today, everyone was very excited and unanimously decided to cancel the original arrangement of going to sing after dinner and go to the bar to continue the second round of drinking while watching the game while waiting for Hu Lai to appear.
Although there is actually a TV in the dining room, but this TV is too small to watch.
It's still open now, to cheer up the old players of the Dongchuan Middle School team at the dinner party.
"Team Chu, just say a few words!"
"Yes, talk about it!"
In the warm invitation of everyone, Chu Yifan stood up. Although he has entered society, he still maintains a good figure as he did when he was in the team, and his appearance is worthy of the school grass of Dongchuan Middle School in those days, and he has never collapsed.
"Actually, I don't know what to say..." Chu Yifan looked down at the wine glass in his hand, which was filled with beer that had just been filled by Yan Yan, and the wine reflected his face.
"If there is no Dongchuan Middle School football team, maybe we have studied in Dongchuan Middle School for three years, and in the end we still don’t know each other. We are in different grades, different classes, and no one knows anyone... But now, we all It belongs to the Dongchuan Middle School football team. We have many memories together..."
"I still remember the first day when I went to work in the company, my leader heard that my high school was in Dongchuan Middle School, and asked if I knew Hu Lai and Luo Kai. I told him that I not only knew, but The captain of the two of them...I still remember the expression of our leader at that time, ha!"
Chu Yifan laughed, and everyone laughed together.
Many of them actually have similar experiences.
After that surprise, the envious eyes came from their leaders, teachers, colleagues, and classmates.
Yes, we have been teammates with Hu Lai and Luo Kai, are we proud? !
proud! So proud!
"So...thank you football! Thank you football for letting us meet! Thank you football for letting us meet Hu Lai and Luo Kai!"
Yan Yan stood up and said, "I discussed with Team Chu... I, my job in Jincheng is stable, and the development of Team Chu in Jincheng is also good. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com What if next? Some people who go to work and school in Jincheng have the same idea... We reorganized the Dongchuan Middle School football team in Jincheng. Let’s get together and continue to play and play in the community league. If possible, the goal is to participate in the city. League. Football brings us together. This fate is not easy, but it cannot be broken easily!"
Meng Xi slapped the table and stood up: "I'll sign up first! When I graduate from college, I will come back to Jincheng!"
Mao Xiao, who was sitting next to him, followed up and said, "I also fight to return to Jincheng."
Chen Rui said: "I'm going to college at Jincheng, and I can come and play football now! Just call me at that time, I will come as far away as possible!"
Others also responded, and soon this matter was approved, and the Jincheng branch of the Dongchuan Middle School football team was established in the private room of this restaurant.
In the lively boxes, the crowds are intertwined, the smoke is full, and everyone is full of red faces, talking and laughing.
The 50-inch TV on the wall is locked to the CCTV Sports Channel. The program for the big players to pay the Chinese New Year greetings to the Chinese fans has been broadcast, and now it is cut to the front signal of the game.
Outside the Flanders Stadium, the home of Leeds City, the fans of Leeds City have gathered outside the stadium, waiting to enter.
The most eye-catching is the dragon dance team invited by the Leeds City Club. The two dragons, red and gold, are running along the periphery of the stadium, and then meet in the square, entangled and played with each other, attracting many Leeds City fans Onlookers.
They took out their phones to take pictures and record this novel scene. There are also children standing next to the dragon dance team, asking their parents to take a photo with the Chinese dragon.
Two places thousands of miles apart, because of a player, they were tied together.
