While Chu Zhongtian was still feeling this change in life, the Spring Festival had quietly arrived.

He was busy with training and didn't remember what day this year's Spring Festival was, but when he was chatting with his parents at noon on the seventh day, his father reminded him: "The New Year is coming soon, you have a Chinese New Year in France. Didn't you say there is a Chengdu kid with you in Metz? You can have the New Year together."

It was not until this time that Chu Zhongtian realized that it was going to be celebrated in the New Year... It was not the first time he celebrated the New Year in a foreign country, but he never had any special feelings. It doesn’t matter if he is alone or many people.

But since his father mentioned it, he should have a good New Year so that his parents would not worry. Besides, he had just performed very well in the game against Lyon, so he should celebrate it well.

I haven't seen Wang Hao for a month. This kid is following Metz's U14 playing against the French U14 Youth League. His training, study and competitions have made him very busy and he has very little time.

If only two of us were celebrating the New Year, wouldn’t the atmosphere be too weak?

Chu Zhongtian thought about it and decided to call Lin Beiyao and invite her to celebrate the New Year together.

After receiving the call from Chu Zhongtian, Lin Beiyao learned that she was invited to celebrate the New Year. Lin Beiyao, who had already made arrangements, agreed without saying a word and did not tell Chu Zhongtian that he had made arrangements. Instead, after hanging up the phone, he turned down his friend's invitation.

Chu Zhongtian, who had called Lin Beiyao, thought who else could he call?

Wang Hao didn't have a cell phone, so if he wanted to notify him, he could only go to the youth training camp after training and tell him personally.

He looked through the name recorded in it with his cell phone. Mr. Merry returned to England and said that there was something to deal with.

Where is Frank Ribery and his wife? Well, they invited him last Christmas, and this time it was his turn to invite him back. He should have an invitation, but don’t worry, he can wait for the afternoon training to send an invitation to Ribery.

So who else?

Xu Xiaodi... is a reporter, but it doesn't matter. He is a friend of himself for the Spring Festival with his friends.

After dialing Xu Xiaodi's phone number, Chu Zhongtian invited him to come together for the New Year tomorrow night.

Xu Xiaodi was a little surprised, but also very happy. He didn't expect that as a reporter, he could get Chu Zhongtian's invitation to a party. This is the only one among Chinese journalists!

"But no interviews or photos are allowed." Chu Zhongtian made a request, "This is a private party, not a press conference."

Xu Xiaodi hurriedly agreed. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t let the report or take photos. This was originally just a private party, and it’s nothing if he didn’t report or not. The key is that he was invited to the party, which shows his status in Chu Zhongtian’s mind. This is the most important thing. He is closer to Chu Zhongtian than other reporters, and he will be able to get a lot of exclusive news more easily in the future.

After calling Xu Xiaodi, Chu Zhongtian continued to search, but not many people left his name on his mobile phone, and some people were not suitable for invitations.

He flipped down and suddenly a name jumped into his eyes.

Delphin Mathilde.

Since the two of them finished their last class in early January, they have never contacted each other again. He has not taken the initiative to call Mathilde, and Mathilde has never looked for him. They seem to have never known each other, separated from each other and disappeared in the vast crowd.

Do you want to call her?

Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a while and finally dialed the phone. However, when he picked up the phone and listened to the waiting voice inside, he was still a little nervous and wanted to hang up the phone again.

He didn't know why he had this idea. He wanted Mathilde to answer, but also hoped that Mathilde didn't hear it or the number changed.

Just as these two thoughts were in his mind, the phone was answered.

"Chu?" Mathilde's voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"I'm so glad you didn't change the number, Mr. Mati." Since you have already picked it up, then all the other messy thoughts should be thrown aside!

"Uh...what are you asking me for anything, Chu?" Mathilde's voice was a little abnormal.

"Are you very busy now, Mr. Maty?"

"No...no, I'm not busy."

"So will you have something to do tomorrow night?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Tomorrow night?" Mathilde nervously.

"Yes, tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, our traditional Chinese festival. I want to invite you to visit me."

"..." Mathilde was silent, not knowing whether he should agree to Chu Zhongtian.

"Teacher Mati?" Chu Zhongtian asked strangely.

"Ah? Is it tomorrow night? I... can I come."

"Then come to my place at 7 o'clock tomorrow night."

"Okay...thank you for your invitation, Chu."

"No need to thank you, Mr. Mati. I shouldn't I ask you?"

"Then I will definitely come on time tomorrow."

Chu Zhongtian hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. In fact, he was quite nervous, worried that his invitation would be rejected. He always felt that Mathilde seemed to be hiding himself on purpose, but why did he hide from him? Is she interested in him?

Chu Zhongtian was amused by his thoughts and seemed embarrassed.

Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian, you look down on yourself too much. What people hate the most is professional players, and they only take classes once a week. Why do you like you? Oh, just a hug after drinking too much, and giving a scarf can capture others' peace of mind. Then there will be no more otaku in this world who cannot find a woman!

He felt that his thoughts were boring, and he smiled and threw his phone aside. Everyone who should notify him was notified, and he wanted to think carefully about how to spend the year tomorrow.

I must buy vegetables by myself. When I go out to eat restaurants, it is expensive, but the Chinese restaurants here are few and expensive, and it is not authentic. It just so happens that the team will only train for half a day in the morning and there is nothing to do in the afternoon. He can go to the supermarket to see if there are any suitable raw materials.

In addition, the apartment needs to be decorated. I don’t know if Metz sells Spring Festival couplets and Fuji... If not, it’s okay to hang colorful lanterns and ribbons in the house.

All of these take time. After the evening training, I will go to the nearby supermarket to see if I can prepare something first.

※※※ During the afternoon training, Chu Zhongtian sent an invitation to Ribery to "come to my house for the New Year". Ribery was very interested in the "Chinese traditional festival" mentioned by Chu Zhongtian and asked a lot of questions about "New Year". From "What is the New Year" to "how to celebrate the New Year in China", he was like a curious baby.

In the end, he promised to take his wife to the appointment at that time.

After the training, Chu Zhongtian went to the youth training camp to find Wang Hao.

When he met Wang Hao, he was sitting on the steps at the stairs of the dormitory, opposite the card-style antonym of the dormitory building, and he would come here when calling his home.

Today, this kid was in a bad mood and was listless. He was not as happy as before when he saw Chu Zhongtian, and he did not take the initiative to say hello.

"What's wrong? I'm missing home?" Chu Zhongtian could guess. A child, no matter how good his performance in the team is now, would not make him feel better at this time, because this will be the first time in his lifetime to celebrate the Spring Festival without his parents' company.

Wang Hao nodded in depressedness. He had just called his parents until a newly bought phone card was called and he had no money. He was still fine when he chatted with his parents, but he became homesick as soon as he hung up the phone.

"Don't think about it, celebrate the New Year with me this year!" Chu Zhongtian patted his head.

Wang Hao looked up at him.

"I invited some friends and the training will be over tomorrow morning. I'll come to find you, go to the cafeteria to have dinner together, and then go shopping with me!"

"Okay!" Wang Hao heard that he could celebrate the Spring Festival with Chu Zhongtian, and that his friends were coming, so he became happy again. Children are children, and their emotions come quickly and go quickly. "Is Sister Lin coming?"

"Near come."

"What about 'Scarface'?"

"Come."

"That..." Wang Hao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where is Miss Mathilde?"

Chu Zhongtian glanced at him: "Come too."

Wang Hao laughed. "Okay, I'll help you!"

※※※I ate some fast food outside in the evening. Chu Zhongtian went to a nearby supermarket for a walk. There was definitely no such thing as Spring Festival couplets, Fuqunhua, and window grilles. Then he bought some beef, a fish, and other messy ingredients. Of course, it is impossible to buy all the things needed for Sichuan cuisine here, so he can only make them according to local conditions according to the existing things. Fortunately, when he left China, his mother considered that she could not eat authentic Sichuan cuisine in foreign countries, so she prepared a lot of Pixian beanban for him. As a result, except for entertaining Wang Hao and Jiang Ran, he rarely made Sichuan cuisine by himself. According to the food, he basically ate in the team restaurant at noon, and made some by himself at night. So far, there are still a lot left. With this "Soul of Sichuan cuisine", I believe that what you make tomorrow will have a bit of hometown flavor.

He had not had a small bag of flour and planned to make dumplings by himself.

When he returned home, Chu Zhongtian did not turn on the computer or the TV. He turned on a set of mini speakers and started cleaning with music. He prepared for the next day to welcome the guests. At the same time, he also cleaned up for the Lunar New Year and wiped out all the bad luck of the previous year.

When I woke up early the next morning, I found that it was snowing outside, and it was not small, so it was not an exaggeration to describe it as heavy snow. This made Chu Zhongtian feel very good - it snowed during the Spring Festival, which is really suitable for the situation. I had never seen such heavy snow in winter when I was in Chengdu. I stayed in London for four years and it rained in winter. This winter, at Metz, he suddenly saw all kinds of snow. Before today, four snows in this city located on the northern border of France had fallen. When he first saw the snow, he was very excited, and now he is much calmer.

I went to the team to train in the morning. Because the snow was too heavy, the training was changed to indoors, mainly for physical fitness and small courts. At noon, I had dinner with Wang Hao in the restaurant and continued to purchase. I braved the heavy snow and visited several stores in the center of Metz to play. I bought some decorations and went back to decorate the room. When I got home, I hung up the lanterns and strips with Wang Hao to decorate the room. The two of them were not short and it was not difficult to do such a job.

After a while of busyness, Lin Beiyao knocked on the door. The girl was wearing a cute red dress and a skirt. Her little face was red with cold. As soon as she entered the door, she held the gift she prepared, opened the exquisite outer packaging, and opened the lid of the box. Chu Zhongtian and Wang Hao found that there were a pair of Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" inside.

"I guess you can't buy this thing, hehe." Lin Beiyao looked at Chu Zhongtian and Wang Hao's surprise expressions and was very proud. "I wrote it myself. When I was in high school, I could be the leader of our school's calligraphy interest group!"

Chu Zhongtian opened it and saw powerful running scripts written on the red paper with a brush - as solid as a rock and green on the field, he shined in China, and never gave up his ambition and reputation throughout the world!

He was stunned for a moment. He thought it was a traditional Spring Festival couplet like "firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and always replace new peaches with old charms." Unexpectedly, the little girl brought it with her to make it up by herself.

And... "Huh? There is your name in the couplet, Brother Chu!" Wang Hao suddenly called out, and then pointed to the word "Zhong" in the first couplet and the word "tian" in the second couplet and said excitedly: "Look, Zhongtian! Haha! Sister Lin is really kind!"

Chu Zhongtian then realized that there was another mystery in this Spring Festival couplet. The little girl was so attentive that she would thank her for anything she wanted.

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

Lin Beiyao was embarrassed by Chu Zhongtian's thanks. She waved her hand and blushed and said, "No need to thank..." Her red face looked very enthusiastic. I don't know if the cold had not disappeared before, or because of shyness.

Wang Hao picked up the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" to post it, and Lin Beiyao also said, "I'll help." She chased after her.

Chu Zhongtian rolled up his sleeves and continued to work.

Not long after, Xu Xiaodi also came, and the gifts he brought were also very unique, not any material, but some songs.

"Switch on the computer quickly, Xiaotian. See what I brought to you?"

After turning on the computer, Xu Xiaodi plugged in a USB flash drive. Then he opened several mp3 files in it with a player, and then the song "Every street and alley, everyone's mouth, the first sentence when they met was congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations~~~~" sounded in the room.

When everyone heard the song, they were a little surprised, and then they laughed. The gifts they gave were really interesting. Lin Beiyao sent Spring Festival couplets and blessings, and Xu Xiaodi sent music that suited the situation.

Now, looking at the red Spring Festival couplets and the words "Fu" posted outside, and listening to the festive music, Chu Zhongtian felt that it was really a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

It feels good to spend such a year in a foreign country.

※※※When Chu Zhongtian was busy in the kitchen, Ribery and his wife Wahiba came with him, and they also brought gifts. As soon as they came in, they saw several Chinese people busy and were infected by them, so they took off their coats and rolled up their sleeves to help.

"Do you Chinese people celebrate the New Year like this?" while helping, Ribery asked curiously. "It's very lively. I think the New Year is quite fun!"
