Chapter 81 Welcoming another Red Country player to Glasgow!
After returning home, Chen Xiaoliang lay down again.
However, he did not have the energy to "take off his clothes if the enemy is embarrassed" today. He asked Helena to check the condition of his ankle. Now, whenever he exerted force, his left ankle would hurt, but it did not affect his walking.
Instruments of all sizes were working, and Helena was not idle either. She brought Chen Xiaoliang a bowl of cut fruit.
He just lay on the bed, and as long as he opened his mouth, the fruit would be delivered to his mouth...
It's more dreamlike than a dream.
But no matter how much I eat, it’s always grapes, lychees, mangoes and the worst thing is longan!
Seems to be very good for kidney...
Is it really good to take supplements like this late at night?
"Where did you get these longans? Do foreigners eat them too? Did you learn this during your exchange with the Red Country?"
Unexpectedly, Helena blushed and shook her head.
"Your parents bought it after they came... I made it for you..."
"oh……"
"What?!"
"who?!!!"
Chen Xiaoliang sat up from the bed in horror. He then remembered that he was so focused on playing the game that he forgot about his parents flying from Hong Kong to see him !
He invited me specially! The club sent me an invitation letter, my parents were so happy, and I got my visa as quickly as possible!
"Where are they?"
"Mr. Reese took them to the hotel. Your parents are very nice. They said they won't disturb your rest. Come back tomorrow."
Chen Xiaoliang let out a long sigh and loosened the quilt: "Damn... that's good, I was scared to death...
"Helena, you should eat too. Don't just give it to me."
Helena's face turned even redder: "I can't eat anymore...your mother gave me a lot of papaya to eat..."
Gift crab! Mom, what are you doing?
The next morning, Chen Xiaoliang's parents were picked up by David.
But his parents had a son in their old age, and are much older than David, who is 47. Fortunately, his family is well-off, and they both look healthy and energetic.
The three of them were naturally very excited to meet again after a long separation.
Chen's father and mother pulled Chen Xiaoliang aside and asked and looked at him.
Mother Chen kept sighing: "Oh my, our sons are all tanned. They have suffered a lot."
Seeing that the family of three was reunited, Helena felt it was inconvenient for her to be a third wheel, so she found an excuse to go out.
Seeing her leave, Chen's mother whispered, "Xiaoliang, she doesn't understand me speaking Chinese, right?"
Father Chen: "If you want to say something, just say it openly. Why are you always doing it in secret?"
Chen's mother: "How can you not be careful about your son's lifelong event? What's wrong with a few words from a mother? Really."
Father Chen couldn't resist and ran out to smoke.
"Xiaoliang, you are grown up now and have made a lot of progress. Mom shouldn't be involved in your affairs. It's just that you are still young, so don't act on impulse."
Chen Xiaoliang's forehead seemed to be covered with black lines: "Mom...what on earth do you want to say..."
"It's not that we can't accept foreigners. It would be nice to have a mixed-race child in the future. But the age... Mom also asked, 22 years old, 6 years older than you..."
"Mom, can you please stop imagining this? It's not happening!"
"It's nothing. Don't think I'm annoying. I've asked around. You're here alone now and she's the one taking care of you. This little girl blushes as soon as she mentions you. I've been through this before and I know exactly what's going on."
Chen Xiaoliang: “…”
Mother Chen: "Although we are from the south and our sayings are different , the saying still makes sense, right? A girl who is five years older than her mother is as happy as her mother. A girl who is six years older than her is not happy enough..."
"God damn it... Mom, that's enough!"
"Mom is not here, and she will take care of you, so Mom will feel more at ease."
"Mom, I am..."
Mother Chen: "You don't need to explain. Mom knows it well. You are still young and it is not time for you to get married. But some things can be prepared in advance. It is also good to have someone to help mom and dad take care of you.
Mom and Dad have also discussed this, and if you like it, we will definitely support you.
This foreign girl is pretty and tall. Your children will definitely be tall too, so you don’t have to worry about their foreign language skills in the future.”
Mother Chen lowered her voice and said, "I've seen her. She has all the necessary size. She will be able to give birth naturally and breastfeed the baby..."
Father Chen finished his cigarette and lit up another one. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay, my son didn't say anything. Why are you getting more and more outrageous?"
Mother Chen rolled her eyes at Father Chen and peeled a longan: "I see that foreigners don't eat vegetables and fruits every day. They just eat lettuce. We bought these at the Hongguoren Market when we arrived here yesterday.
You should pay attention to your own health. Eating more longan is good for boys.
Your father, when he was young, no one reminded him to take care of himself, so his body failed before he even got old. We originally wanted to give you a younger brother..."
Father Chen took a long drag on his cigarette outside: "Hey! Can you please stop involving me in your son's affairs?"
Mother Chen took her baby son aside and talked a lot. Although Chen Xiaoliang was speechless about what his mother cared about, he could also feel that this was the care and love after a long separation.
However, there was one thing that made everyone living here very happy. After Chen Xiaoliang's parents came, the kitchen became their main battlefield. David from Reise went to Gerrard's house every day. A group of foreigners had never eaten such delicious food in their lives.
After a day's rest, the next game was the 34th round of the league home game against the Irish.
However, the pain in Chen Xiaoliang's left ankle still did not go away, and the slight swelling did not subside even after alternating cold soaks and hot compresses.
Helena sent the test results of two consecutive days to the club's team doctor, who insisted that he go to the hospital for an MRI.
The end result was a slight tear of the lateral collateral ligament. Not to mention against the Irish, he would not be able to play in the second leg at Old Trafford a week later.
Once the tear turns into a rupture, you will have to sit in a wheelchair for three months after the surgery.
Although it was a minor injury, Chen's parents were still heartbroken.
Chen Xiaoliang himself was also very disappointed.
Old Trafford is the theatre of dreams where he wants to step on and run in his dreams .
He has been tinkering with the system these days to see if it is possible to get an injury recovery card.
After all, this thing is a miraculous item that can completely heal even broken bones in a very short period of time.
However, it is not so easy to obtain the magical item. Currently, only the league's monthly best player task rewards an injury recovery card. However, there are hundreds of players in the Scottish Premier League, and I often miss the league due to European war rotations, so it is almost impossible to win the monthly best player.
However, when God closes a door, he will often open a window for you.
Riise told Chen Xiaoliang that "442" magazine wanted to take a set of promotional photos for him and another Red Country player, and do a brief interview.
Although the remuneration is not high, 442 magazine is one of the most famous professional football media in the UK, and the players appearing on their pages will have a significant boost to their popularity and value.
It's like a third-rate writer being recommended by some website.
However, what interested Chen Xiaoliang was the Red Country player whose name even Riise couldn't say.
Could it be Brother Lei? Impossible, Reese knew Brother Lei.
Or someone I don't know who plays in another league? No, Riise clearly said that the other person had just come to England to play football.
Could it be that the Red Country has a new player?
It wasn't until the two met that the answer was revealed by a shy smile and a pair of sweet dimples.
Chen Xiaoliang was overjoyed!
