As soon as the school was in summer, Zhou Xiaoxiang packed up her things and rushed to France. This was not her first time going abroad. Her son had asked her and her husband to go out for a trip with her during the Spring Festival in Metz. However, this was her first time going abroad alone. Her husband couldn't take such a long vacation and had to continue working. As a teacher, she had a summer vacation to come to France to accompany her son.

Why don’t you resign? Anyway, they don’t need that little money now. Their son’s income per week is more than their annual income. The main reason is that Zhou Xiaoxiang enjoys the feeling of being envied and respected in school, and has become the center of discussions among others. His son is famous, and he is also famous as a mother. Whenever he hears other teachers say to him, “Teacher Zhou, I heard that your family scores goals again every day? Awesome!” She is very happy and has to be kind and kind: “He is playing blindly!” She is already sweet in her heart as if she has drunk honey.

When Zhou Xiaoxiang got off the plane in France, although she couldn't quite understand the French signs, she could still understand the pictures. In addition, she could find the exit with the abortion. The last time she came, she still had a vague impression.

She picked up her luggage with the people on the same plane. She saw her son at the exit at a glance - her arm with a white bandage, which was really conspicuous in the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the Hollywood female star next to her son, her son's girlfriend, and perhaps her future daughter-in-law, waving to her.

So she waved to them too.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiang came out, Emily came up and gave her a hug. Zhou Xiaoxiang was actually not used to this, but she greeted Emily for the first time in Sichuan. Now when she was in France, she had to accept this hug with the idea of ​​following the local customs. "Hello!" Emily greeted Zhou Xiaoxiang in Chinese with incorrect pronunciation.

"Oh, you are good, you are good..." Zhou Xiaoxiang responded quickly.

Then Emily took the box that Zhou Xiaoxiang placed aside very consciously, and she exclaimed: "Wow, it's so heavy! What are they?" She used English, and Zhou Xiaoxiang couldn't understand it, but fortunately her son translated it for her.

Chu Zhongtian also carried the suitcase, which was indeed a bit heavy, and he was also surprised: "Mom, what are the boxes in your suitcase? Why are they so heavy?"

"It's all seasonings!" Zhou Xiaoxiang said, "I heard that I couldn't buy Sichuan cuisine seasonings here, so I just brought them to you from Sichuan. I have to stay here for two months. If I don't have seasonings, I can't make authentic Sichuan cuisine!"

Chu Zhongtian smiled bitterly. Even if he did it, he probably wouldn't be able to eat it. He hadn't been active during this period and his body had gained a little weight. If he dared to open his stomach and eat it, he would have to spend another month to lose weight when the injury healed. However, he didn't say it, because even if he didn't eat it, his mother could never eat his own recipe.

Chu Zhongtian translated his mother's words to Emily. Emily heard that it was delicious Chinese food and was very excited. She was not worried about gaining weight at all, because women always had no ability to resist when facing delicious food, and even though they knew they would gain weight, they would let go of it.

Since we arrived in Paris, we couldn't remember to go back. Emily and Chu Zhongtian accompanied Zhou Xiaoxiang here for two days and went shopping. Chu Zhongtian would buy whatever his mother liked without saying a word. Anyway, he had money now, so he didn't care.

After two days of playing in Paris, three people returned to Metz.

As soon as he got home, Emily poured water for Zhou Xiaoxiang like a young Chinese wife, serving Chu Zhongtian's mother very thoughtfully.

Although it is still a bit difficult for the two to communicate, they have to use the translation of Chu Zhongtian. However, Zhou Xiaoxiang likes his son, a celebrity girlfriend who has no star airs at all.

Emily knew that Chu Zhongtian had been worried about whether to transfer to Mess during this period. She believed that his mother would accompany him and could make him withdraw from this emotion. She would leave in a few days. If his mother hadn't come, she wouldn't want to go back to work. Her mother called one after another, hoping that she could go back and start working again.

Just as he settled his mother, Chu Zhongtian received a call.

The phone number was called by Legov's daughter.

"My father hopes to invite you to a meal, Mr. Chu." She sent the invitation politely.

"Tonight?" Chu Zhongtian asked, looking at his mother who was helping to empty the suitcase with Emily.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll definitely go."

After Chu Zhongtian asked about the specific time, he hung up the phone. Then he told Emily and her mother that he was going to go to the appointment tonight, and the two of them would solve the dinner themselves.

Emily nodded and said she knew, and her mother asked, "Who is the person who invited you to?"

"A fan."

"Male or female?"

"Mom..." Chu Zhongtian was helpless.

"I'm for your own good. Emily is so kind to you. If you mess around outside, I won't forgive you!"

"Where is this and what..." Chu Zhongtian was in a dark line, and his mother's association ability was really strong.

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me if it's a man or a woman?"

"Male, and it's an old man." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Then why did I hear the sound on the phone just now being a woman?" Mom asked in confusion.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that his mother had a very good ear, so he could tell. He answered honestly: "That's the daughter of that old fan. The old fan has a heart disease, so his daughter is at home all year round."

"Oh..." After hearing Chu Zhongtian's explanation, Zhou Xiaoxiang felt relieved.

Her chat with Chu Zhongtian was in Chinese throughout the whole process. Emily couldn't understand and sat next to her, tilting her head to look at the two people with a puzzled and curious look on her face.

Zhou Xiaoxiang turned over and said to her, "That's right. Her boyfriend is going out for a date, so he doesn't ask who he is dating with. What if he is dating with a woman on his back?"

"Mom..." Chu Zhongtian was speechless. His mother was too strong, right? Now he started to educate Emily. Besides... "You speak Chinese, she can't understand."

Emily really didn't understand. She only knew that Chu Zhongtian's mother was talking to her. As for what she said, she didn't know. She kept a smile on her face. After listening to Zhou Xiaoxiang's words, she turned her gaze to Chu Zhongtian, obviously waiting for Chu Zhongtian to translate for her.

"You can translate it for her!" Zhou Xiaoxiang directed his son.

"It's not bad..." This is a really fresh experience for Chu Zhongtian - a translation of his girlfriend's advice to his mother asks her girlfriend to beware of her going out for a mess... Why is it so awkward?

"Flip it quickly!" Mom is still very majestic. Chu Zhongtian is afraid of his mother, not his father. Dad is a friend to him, but his mother is really an elder.

Looking at Emily's curious and expectant look, Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to translate his mother's words: "My mother said...I told you to be careful that I would run out to date other women in the name of date, and in this case you have to ask who I would go out to date with."

After hearing this, Emily covered her mouth and laughed: "Your mom is so funny. But isn't it normal to date?"

For foreigners, "dating" has a wide range of meanings, including meetings and gatherings. However, for Chinese people, "dating" basically refers to the kind of things between men and women, which are mostly related to love. If it has nothing to do with love, it must be related to men's and women's love. So Chu Zhongtian's mother misunderstood the meaning of "dating" here, and Emily thinks it is no big deal.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged at her, and then explained a little about the differences in East and West cultures.

She said to Zhou Xiaoxiang: "Ms. Zhou, don't worry, your son is very honest. There will never be anything like you said..." At this point, she glanced at Chu Zhongtian and asked in English: "Did you say so, Chu?"

"Ah, of course!" I dare not be careless on this issue, and Chu Zhongtian replied firmly. "I'm not a playboy."

Emily smiled with satisfaction, then signaled Chu Zhongtian to translate it for his mother.

Although Emily explained it to Chu Zhongtian with kindness, Chu Zhongtian always felt like "Wang Po sells melons and boasts himself" when translating this sentence.

It seems that either let your mother learn to speak English or Emily learn to speak Chinese, otherwise you will always let yourself translate. Wouldn't that be troublesome? Now it seems that it is difficult to let your mother, who is almost fifty years old, learn to speak English, so Emily will work hard to learn Chinese. Didn't she say that her mother is interested in opening up the Chinese market? It is more convenient to speak Chinese at that time, and it can also increase the Chinese market's favorability for Emily... Teaching Emily is also operable. Her mother is a Chinese teacher, and she started from elementary school teachers. According to her mother, she was assigned to primary school to teach first grade when she just graduated. That started from Chinese Pinyin, which was similar to teaching Emily. For Emily, who doesn't understand Chinese, she is probably a first-year student in her mother's eyes.

Emily has to stay here for another week. During this week, I believe that my mother can give Emily some simple basic pinyin first. However, Emily may have to overcome a difficult situation first. She must learn to pronounce "a" as "ah", instead of "ah"... There may be a period of chaos.

Chu Zhongtian told his mother and Emily about this sudden rise, and both of them were very interested in it. Emily always wanted to learn Chinese, but Chu Zhongtian didn't get together for a long time, and Chu Zhongtian was not a teacher, so he didn't know how to teach Emily. He had tried it, but in the end he failed. There were many things he took for granted, but Emily knew nothing. If he skipped those parts and didn't say anything, Emily would be completely unable to understand. For example, the "天" in Chinese is enough to make the two people too big. After realizing that he did not have the talent of a teacher, Chu Zhongtian would not make such an attempt. Anyway, he could speak English and French and could communicate with Emily.

People who are teachers are also good at teaching. Zhou Xiaoxiang was very happy to hear that she wanted to teach Emily Chinese. She actually didn't want to be just a "nanny" who cooks and cleans every day. She can also use her professional expertise in a foreign country, which makes her feel very accomplished. She was full of fighting spirit and even planned to start teaching Emily now. Chu Zhongtian persuaded her to stay and said that at least she would fly all day long to take a bath and take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue...※※※When my mother finished taking a bath, Chu Zhongtian took her mother to the kitchen and told her mother about the use of all facilities and the placement of seasonings. Because he knew that his mother would definitely cook for Emily in person at night, she knew that Emily liked Sichuan cuisine very much.

Sure enough, after knowing this, Zhou Xiaoxiang began to busy taking out the Sichuan cuisine seasonings he brought from the box one by one and put them on the cabinet. The cabinets used to be empty, but now they are suddenly crowded.

While placing it, he was muttering: "I also want to bring you a jar of kimchi, but your father didn't let me take it, saying that no one would eat it if I brought it with me... I'm not a human? I know you are a professional player, so you should avoid food, but it's okay to eat it occasionally?"

Chu Zhongtian could only watch so many Pixian bean pasta, hot pot fish seasoning, dried chili noodles, peppercorns... they were all placed on it and couldn't speak.

He felt that his mother would definitely want to move the whole vegetable market near the house... but Emily was very curious. When she helped Zhou Xiaoxiang sort it out, she always picked it up and asked Chu Zhongtian: "What is this? What is that? What is this? What is that?"

It's a curious baby.

Sometimes when even Chu Zhongtian couldn't answer, Zhou Xiaoxiang would use very bad English and Chinese, and gestures to tell Emily what she was doing.

But her explanations were very consistent. "Cooking, eating, eating!" She made the move to scatter rice into her mouth, and then gave a thumbs up. "Cooking! It's delicious! Good!"

Emily thought that this was teaching her to speak Chinese, so she also repeated it seriously: "Seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-s

Chu Zhongtian was amused by the appearance of these two people.

It seems that their communication will get better.

※※※ Stayed at home with my mother and Emily until 5:30 in the afternoon, Chu Zhongtian called Belmont and told him that he wanted to use a car and asked him to wait outside the house.

Then he said goodbye to Emily and her mother and went to the appointment.

This was the first time Chu Zhongtian met with Belmont after the season. Before, he either was undergoing examinations and treatment in Paris, or stayed at home honestly and didn't go anywhere. All the tasks of going out for procurement were handed over to Emily.

So after seeing Chu Zhongtian, Belmont's first words made Chu Zhongtian realize that going to Mr. Legov's house today is probably not just a simple dinner.

"Hey man. I heard you were going to leave Metz, is that true?"

He took two newspapers for Chu Zhongtian, both of which were Mess' local newspapers. The newspapers contained photos of Chu Zhongtian. The titles below were similar, and they all said that Chu Zhongtian might have left Mess for other teams.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian could simply say: "That's not the case."

But he doesn't like lying, especially this kind of lie that is exposed. What if he really transfers and leaves this summer? What will Belmont think of him? A villain who doesn't say anything?

Chu Zhongtian has always believed that he is different from those professional players who have entered professional teams since childhood to receive systematic training. He is from fans. Whether it is fans of Sichuan Quanxing or Wimbledon Athletics, he always feels that he is in the same group as those fans. He understands the mood of the fans. They hate failure, and they don’t like cowards who admit defeat in advance. In fact, sometimes if failure is really inevitable, then as long as you work hard to fight to the last moment, the fans will still applause you.

It's that simple.

Based on this feeling, Chu Zhongtian does not want to give the fans the impression that he has "betrayed them".

So when facing Belmont's problem, he could only tell the truth: "It's just possible, Belmont. I didn't say I had to leave."

"Well..." After hearing Chu Zhongtian's honest answer, Belmont did not speak anymore. He did not speak any further along the way, and was unusually taciturn. He did not say until he said goodbye to Chu Zhongtian: "Goodbye, man. Call me when he goes back and I will pick you up."

Chu Zhongtian felt that a taciturn Belmont really made him uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, he felt that the chattering Belmont was more normal now. He wanted to say something, but the other party had quickly gotten into the car and started the car and left.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged, picked up the flowers and walked into the apartment he once knew very well.

※※※The person who opened the door for him was Legov's daughter. The two of them greeted her at the door. Chu Zhongtian handed her the bouquet and walked in. As soon as he came in, he saw Legov sitting on the dark red sofa, watching TV with concentration. The TV screen was the League Cup final between Metz and Sevilla.

He found it strange.

"It's a game video." Legov's daughter whispered beside her, holding the bouquet. "In recent days, my father has to look it out every day."

After saying that, she went to arrange flowers, Chu Zhongtian walked to Legoff.

"How are you in good health, Mr. Legov." Chu Zhongtian greeted politely.

"Ah, it's not better." Legov pressed the pause button, and then turned around to greet Chu Zhongtian standing. "How are your health okay, Chu." He pointed to Chu Zhongtian's right arm that was hanging up.

“Recovering.”

"Where is the muscle strain on the left thigh?"

"I'm almost healing. Now I don't feel any pain when I exert my strength."

Legov nodded and said he knew, and asked again: "Can you catch up with the new season's Ligue 1?"

When Chu Zhongtian faced this question, he didn't know how to answer. Didn't Legov know that he might leave Metz?

"I...I think so." Chu Zhongtian replied unnaturally.

Fortunately, Legov did not continue to get involved in this issue. He pointed to the TV, "Are you interested in accompanying me, the old man, to watch this game?"

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Of course, I'm very happy."
