It was late at night, and every family had gone to bed in the morning, and there was no sound except for the occasional car passing by the road below.

The fan is buzzing in the house and there is no air conditioning in the house. It's not that you can't afford it, it's that it's not too hot in the summer, especially when you sleep at night with the windows open. If there is a habit of evening blowing, it is still very cool.

Despite the cool breeze, Don did not fall asleep lying on the mat. He rolled over, and the bed was just under the window, with a clear view of the starry sky outside.

This is his home, or this used to be his home, and at this moment, he is lying on the bed that is only needed when the guests come. Today's day feels always weird.

"Tony?" Lying on the other bed, Don suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

"You didn't sleep."

"Can't sleep."

There was a sound behind him, and Don sat up from his bed.

"If you can't sleep, go out and blow the wind for a while."

Don looked back at Don, who was already standing in front of his bed, and then sat up.

The two men put on their coats and walked out of the house lightly.

"Where?" Don asked.

"Just go for a walk." Tang led the way in front, and the two climbed over the hill and saw the paddy fields and dams behind the hillside.

This is not a city that is still bright in the middle of the night, there are no neon lights in the forest, there are no street lights, surrounded by a dark low house, and a bright moon overhead. The moonlight is like frost, illuminating the ground. And don't worry about falling while walking.

"I almost forgot that natural lighting can be so bright." Don looked up at the full moon in the sky." I still remember when I was very young...... At that time, there was no bathroom at home, and they all went out to go to the public toilet, the kind of dry toilet. At night, it is also this time to urinate, and I dare not go to the dark public toilet alone, for fear that there will be a ghost inside, so I stand at the door of the house to pee. It was a sunny day. There was a moon overhead, and I was dazed and I saw the white and bright ground on the ground, and I thought it was snowing. As a result, I woke up the next day with nothing...... Before I went to college, I had never seen snow like with my own eyes. The moonlight looks like a layer of snow on the ground."

He pointed to the dam not far away: "When I was a child, I thought that the dam was very big and I could play football on it. Watch a movie. Now it seems...... It's so small."

"The paddy ......fields over there," he pointed a little farther away, "when we were in elementary school, there were no classes every Tuesday afternoon, and the teacher organized us to come here to fish for lobsters. The lobsters were caught and put in a small bucket, and finally roasted and eaten on the spot, without any condiments. A group of people had a great time......"

"On that hill farther away is the legendary mass grave. The dead are buried there, and we go there on our spring outing. The little ones are very timid and very big. What kind of land to play on the grave bag...... There is no fear of the dead. I still remember that one of my classmates was very fashionable and danced Michael to us, which was very popular with girls. Now that I think about it, it's just a space slide...... People would please the opposite sex at a young age, and at that time I just sat in the corner. In the memories of others. I might be the Forgotten Man."

Don stood next to him and didn't make a sound. Listen quietly to him as he tells of his past.

"I thought it was impossible to remember these trifles, but then I forgot them. I didn't expect to come back this time, and when I saw the familiar landscape, I thought about it all at once...... Memories are a wonderful thing."

He stopped talking and stood on the country road, looking at the dams and paddy fields in the moonlight in the distance. The crickets were louder.

"I don't think I said 'I'm sorry' to you yet?" Standing next to him, Don suddenly spoke.

Don looked back at him strangely.

"You were born here and grew up here. I know you'd love to call mom and call daddy. I'm the one who robbed you of all these things."

Don smiled a little: "It's not a robbery. We just swapped bodies. If you rob me of my land. Then I'll rob you of your land."

"I don't have any good stuff. It doesn't matter if you grab it. You've seen it too, in Eastwood Ground Cemetery...... If you mean you're succeeding right now, it has nothing to do with me." Don shrugged. So I owe you more...... I would love to have a warm home, and I'm sorry to take your home."

Looking at Don with a sincere face, Don was silent for a moment, and then said, "Actually...... I wasn't a homemaker before, and 'home' never felt so strong to me. Maybe it's because I got it so easily before, so I don't know how to cherish it. Now that it's gone, I feel different. If it weren't for that, without you, I might still not know how to cherish. Everything has a price, I know that cherishing it, the price is the loss of 'home'. Successful career, worry-free food and clothing, good wife and children at home, healthy parents and happy old age, and a harmonious family. I am a successful manager, a successful son, a successful husband, a successful father...... Envy of the world...... How is it possible to get what you want? It's impossible for me to take all the good things alone, right? ”

He said to Don with a smile.

"You're right, there is nothing perfect in this world, and if you gain something, you will lose something...... Tony, you're actually having a good problem."

"Huh?"

"I can't give you a successful career, I can't give you a good wife, but I think I can give you back a 'home' that you want to cherish."

"Huh?"

"Are you willing to be my big brother? Be my mom and dad godson."

Don was stupid.

"They were originally your parents, but after recognizing this relationship, you can ignore your mother and call your aunt. And...... We have such a tacit understanding, don't you think this itself is very much like a pair of brothers? We shared each other's memories, there must be you in my life, and there must be me in your life, and we have no secrets from each other, as if we grew up together from childhood to brother on earth."

After Don finished speaking, he looked at Don.

Tang En also looked at Tang and looked at it for a long time before he slowly spoke: "When I suddenly came to an Englishman from China, I cursed God and fate, thinking that it played a joke on me. I feel like the most unlucky person in the world. And then...... Now I think maybe we should have been linked together, it wasn't a random lottery, it was something that was decided a long time ago...... Do you believe that there is a pair of hands at work behind fate? Didn't believe it before. Now I believe it: why I swapped with you. Instead of with anyone else, such as the world's richest, the country's richest, and the movie superstar...... Why you, why me? ”

"It seems to be accidental, but it is inevitable. Everything has a cause and must have an effect, and there is an effect because of it...... Have you ever felt dizzy? ”

Don shook his head.

"That's what it means anyway, we are destined to be together by God. Otherwise, why would I be able to meet you in the sea of people when I go back to Chengdu? There are tens of millions of people in Chengdu, why did they meet you? So...... Hey, do you need any rituals to recognize godparents and godmothers? ”

Tang smiled and shook his head: "I don't need anything."

Hearing Tang say this, he nodded vigorously: "I don't pretend to be forced. It's not strong. I admit it."

After speaking, he sighed: "Go back to sleep, I'm sleepy."

"Jet lag reversed?"

"It's been reversed a long time ago, but it's fallen in Beijing!"

Don didn't get up until almost noon, and when he got up, Don had already come back from helping his parents.

"Up, huh? Is it okay to sleep on? Are you used to living there? Seeing Done, Mom asked.

Don nodded vigorously: "Okay, slept well. The place of residence is very accustomed! ”

Of course, he got used to it, this is where he lived for twenty years......

Don glanced at him, signaling that his preparations were in place.

At lunchtime, Don En mentioned his life experience, and then expressed his desire to recognize the second elder as a godfather*, and the two old men were not surprised. It seems that Don really told them about this in advance.

The second elder is very happy to be able to have a foreigner son. Readily agreed.

In this way, quite simply, Don became the son of his parents again, but this time with the word "dry" in front of it. Don didn't care about the details of the name, he was glad that he could finally call his mom "Mom" and his dad "Daddy".

Originally, he followed Tang back to China, just hoping to have a more reasonable reason to get close to his parents, so that he was very satisfied. Unexpectedly, the harvest is even greater than he expected, he has his parents again, and the lost land has been found again.

With such a perfect holiday, he has no luxury.

The next few days. Don can finally shake off all the baggage in his heart and live in his own home with a relaxed and happy mood. Go out and climb the mountains and rediscover your childhood time. Everywhere he went, there were still many people looking at him with curiosity, but he didn't care.

After staying at home for half a month, when it was time to say goodbye, Don decided to have a showdown with his parents. Tell him what he really does in the UK.

"Coach?" Dad wasn't a man who didn't know anything, he certainly knew what a professional soccer coach does, and he was surprised to ask. I didn't expect my son to be a coach in the highest level of foreign leagues.

Don nodded: "Tony asked me to help him, and I went ......"

Mom just sat on the side and didn't say anything.

"My son...... Dad turned his head to look at Donn, "can he really be a coach?" ”

Don nodded vigorously to prove that he was not lying: "He is very talented, and in two years he went from being a regular coach of our club's local youth team to an assistant coach of the youth team. I'm going to put him in the first team in the second half of the year and be my assistant."

After listening to Don's words, Dad turned his head to look at Don again: "I only know that you liked football very much when you were a child...... Didn't think you could do it as a job now. Then you are in Chengdu......"

"I resigned before I left...... I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

Donn sat next to him. Didn't say anything, it was a matter between Don and his dad. Even if Don himself knows about his father. I don't know what he will answer, agree or disagree? What if you don't agree? Do you want to convince him? After all, Tang Zhen is an excellent candidate to be an assistant coach, and Tang En must not be reconciled to lose a right-hand man like this...... Can I earn a lot of money a year as a coach to convince my father?

Dad was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Anyway, where you work, it's work, and there is no difference between being a coach or running sales. If you like the job. Of course it's better."

"Thank you, Dad!"

"You remember anyway. No matter what you do, you have to do it well."

"It's the ground. I remember, Dad."

Then he turned to Don and said, "You're older than him and familiar with that side. Please, take care of him."

Don smiled, "Don't worry, Dad."

"Take good care of yourself over there......" Mom, who had been silent, finally spoke, reluctant in her voice.

"Mom, there's a vacation every year. I'll come back to see you. I can also take you to England to live."

"It's okay to go abroad to play, just stay......" Dad waved his hand. I still like it here."

The second elder didn't regard football coaching as a great profession, and he didn't ask questions such as how much money he made a year, and in their hearts, this coach was completely no different from running sales in Chengdu...... This made Don feel more at ease.

He also had a problem, this time he made the right decision to follow Tang back to his hometown, which made him see a lot of things that he had inadvertently ignored before.

This is not a Chinese vacation, for him, it is home.

Bidding farewell to his parents, the town where he was born and raised, and his countless childhood memories, Don and Don embark on a new journey again.

Take a plane from Chengdu to Beijing and from here directly to Germany.

That's what they planned. And don't stay in Chengdu and Beijing to play. Tang En and Don are not interested in this kind of play, they are not women who like to go shopping, and there is no need to play in the mountains and rivers. Just when I was in my hometown. Don brought a lot of local products to Shania and Sophia, and this was the only time he went shopping in China after returning to China.

When they arrived, Don and Don only took a suitcase containing a change of clothes and toiletries. And when they left, in addition to the two suitcases they brought, there were also two major travel bags to make their hometown specialties......

The two of them will change their boarding passes, send their luggage away, and wander around the departure hall lightly.

As the World Cup is approaching, they can see some tour groups at the airport under the banner of "Go to Germany, see the World Cup", and the atmosphere of football is very strong even at the Tokyo International Airport.

"The number one sport in the world......" Donn shrugged. Those fans who go to Germany are cheering for other countries, and maybe only China has such a situation. Hey, Tang, you know what football is like in China for a few years, right? ”

Don nodded.

"It's pitiful to be eliminated without even making it to the top 10...... Played in the country for a few years fake a fake. Sadly pitiful Chinese football......"

Don silently listened to Don grumble. For Chinese football, he is definitely not as good as Tang En, and for Chinese football, he and the "foreigner" in front of him cannot be compared.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this unappetizing topic. When we get to Germany, we don't act together anymore, so I'm commenting on the BBc live matches and you mainly look at which players are brought in by us."

Tang nodded: "Hmm."

"Let's go, I think it's time to board."

Two people walked to the gate and waited.

It was at this time that Donn suddenly heard someone calling him by name.

He reflexively turned around. I saw a face that was quite familiar.

The one who came to interview him because the Forest team wanted to buy Chinese player Sun Jihai and was choked by him, and later met the female Ji of the land several times in various interviews - Tang Jing.
