Chapter 227: The Taste of Home (3600)

"This is what we took a picture of Rong undergoing a medical check-up in Munich a little earlier. The Chinese genius in the picture is smiling happily, and it is clear that the results of the medical examination are good...... He flew to Munich yesterday and mentally he doesn't seem to be affected by the race and the long journey, he is in very good spirits......"

"Three days after the Copa Libertadores final, Bayern Munich announced yesterday that they have signed the Copa Libertadores champion for seven million dollars!"

“…… Wing was outstanding in the just-concluded Copa Libertadores with a number of key goals. Naturally, this performance has also attracted a lot of attention from European teams. As soon as the Copa Libertadores final ended, the São Paulo club received nine offers...... But to the disappointment of these European teams, what they were waiting for was not the news that Sao Paulo allowed them to negotiate a personal contract with the player himself, but the news that Bayern Munich had announced the introduction of Rong......

According to people familiar with the matter, Rong and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement as early as the middle of the season, and the two sides have initialed the agreement...... The reason why Sao Paulo FC announced that they would not accept any offers from Glory before the end of the Copa Libertadores final is also because they have already completed a transfer contract with Bayern Munich......"

……

In the just-concluded Copa Libertadores final, the Brazilian giants São Paulo defeated the Argentine giants Boca Juniors 3-1 at home, thus defeating Boca Juniors with an aggregate score of 5:1 and lifting the Copa Libertadores in the 2003 season...... In the two-legged final, it was a Chinese player who sang the leading role......"

"Rongguang, that's the name of the Chinese player. When did such a genius emerge in my country's football? This has attracted great attention from Chinese football......"

"Our reporter did not find such a name in the list of players registered with the Chinese Football Association, which means that this Chinese player who has killed all sides in South American football and even attracted the attention of European teams is not a registered player of the Chinese Football Association! This is really surprising......"

"In fact, we have also checked with professional football clubs in China, and there has not been a single case of transferring players to South American football, let alone a player called Rongguang who has transferred from China to Brazil...... It was as if the player had fallen from the sky. He came out of nowhere, and there was too much mystery about him......"

"Our correspondent flew to Brazil, but in Brazil we were not able to find the mysterious Chinese player...... The latest news, Bayern Munich has signed the Chinese player! It's simply amazing! The first Chinese player to join a giant club has set a record for such a mysterious figure that we don't know anything about! ”

"Glory! Who is he? Where did he come from? When did he start playing football? Why would he appear in faraway South America? How did he become a regular player in Sao Paulo? There are too many question marks in this player......"

"Our reporter has flown urgently to Munich, Germany, to interview the Chinese player...... But alas, we pounced on it again! ”

"Glory, where is he?!"

When Chinese and foreign media were discussing Rongguang, Rongguang had just walked out of the terminal of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

The people who have driven the Chinese media crazy for the past few days are looking around in a pair of shorts and a simple T-shirt, carrying a huge backpack, pulling an equally large suitcase in their right hand, kicking a large disproportionate travel bag in their left hand, and wearing a pair of sneakers.

There was no peaked cap with a low brim, and no wide sunglasses that covered half of his face.

He didn't hide anything, and he looked like any outsider who came to Shanghai to work.

In the crowd, no one recognized this star player as Glory Glory, who was the star player in South American football.

Although some people still hold newspapers that cover him in a big way......

He then lined up on the side of the road with other travelers to catch the airport bus to the city.

He would then change to two buses, walk another 1,650 meters, through a messy wet market, past the entrance of a middle school, past three traffic light intersections, around a garbage recycling station, and finally find his destination in a low-rise shantytown – the house where his parents and sister lived.

Why don't you take a taxi?

With the characteristics of the glory slamming the door, if it wasn't too far away, he might want to run away by himself......

Putting his luggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, Rongguang lined up to get on the bus, he chose a window seat, opened the curtains of the window, and turned his head to look out the window.

From the time he got in the car to the time he got off, he kept this position, and he didn't care who was sitting next to him.

The bus quickly filled, started slowly, and drove out of the terminal.

Accelerate on the viaduct and drive towards the city of Shanghai.

Rong Guang stared intently at the scene outside the car window, even if it was just some farmland houses.

A tall, but thin, long-haired young girl walks through the narrow alleys with plastic bags in her hands, passing pedestrians and bicycles.

She walked very vigorously with every step, as if she was jumping.

The long hair tied back in a ponytail swayed from side to side with her brisk steps.

"Xiao Mo, why didn't you go to work today?" One of the people passing by asked in surprise.

"I'm taking a leave of absence today, Uncle Li!"

"Hey, with so many delicious things in your hand, what are you doing here?" A chubby middle-aged aunt walked out of the room next to the alley, still wearing pajamas, looking like she had just gotten up, and she saw the things in the girl's hand at a glance.

"My brother is back today, and these are his favorite foods!" The girl raised what she was holding up and said with a smile.

The bright sun shone on her face, making her smile even brighter.

Glory holds his backpack in his arms, a travel bag at his feet, and a suitcase by his side. Although he sat alone in a single seat, his bloated luggage filled up the surrounding area, causing many people to look at him angrily.

But Glory still didn't notice the angry gaze.

He still did the same thing he did on the airport bus—he turned his head to look out the window.

The bus passes through the bustling commercial center and towers into the sky. The colorful billboards on those skyscrapers also dazzled him.

He even thought he was still in São Paulo......

Shanghai...... This city, which my parents have talked about many times, is really a bustling place!

The bus drove up a viaduct, and when you looked down from the viaduct, you could see a large area of low-rise old shantytown houses, red walls and green tiles, and clothes hanging on the roofs and alleys everywhere, which were also colorful and dazzling.

This scene and the bustling modern metropolis just now seem to be completely different cities......

This is also Shanghai......

My sister wrote in the letter that she and her parents lived in this kind of place.

This living condition reminded Rong Guang of the slums he had seen in São Paulo. Although it is still much better than the slum, Rongguang is still reluctant to let his parents and relatives live in this kind of place......

Now that I have money, I must buy them a good house to live in Shanghai!

Thinking of this, Rongguang hugged his backpack tightly.

In the backpack there is a wallet, and in the wallet there is a bank card.

This card is full of salaries and bonuses that Rong Guang earned from playing in Brazil for a year and a half.

It adds up to 1.5 million yuan.

With this money, Rongguang felt that he should buy a good house in Shanghai anyway.

When Rong Xiaomo was washing vegetables in the common kitchen of the rental house, her mother also returned home from work a little earlier than usual, and she didn't even change her clothes, so she came directly to the kitchen to help her daughter cook together.

The two of them were busy and laughing at the same time, looking forward to the return of their brother/son.

The pressure cooker sizzles on the gas stove, and the smell of rice fills the kitchen and wafts to the rental house.

After the vegetables were washed, her mother began to chop the vegetables, while Rong Xiaomo worked beside her.

Soon, Daddy's bicycle bell rang outside the house – and Dad was back.

When my father returned home, he began to clean up their cramped rental house.

A round table was propped up, and my father was vigorously wiping the stains on it, which he hadn't used for a long time, and the family of three usually ate on a small low coffee table. Obviously, such a small coffee table can't fit the dishes that are going to be put on the table today......

Four plastic benches, which are usually stacked on top of each other, are also placed around the table, and they are also wiped clean.

The dusty TV screen was also wiped down to reflect a smiling face.

The whole family is busy in order to welcome the arrival of glory.

From time to time, there will be laughter and laughter in the busyness.

All three had happy smiles on their faces.

Rong Guang walked through the narrow alleys with large bags and small bags, turning his head to look around, comparing the house numbers.

"One hundred and thirty-five...... One Hundred and Forty-One...... One hundred and forty ...... Number Nine. ”

He stopped in front of the one hundred and forty-nine.

Inside a narrow door frame is a patio.

Rongguang looked inside, and there was the sound of chopping vegetables, and the popping sound of something falling into the oil pan, crackling and lively.

He was still wondering if this was the place he was looking for, when he smelled a burst of aroma coming from inside.

It is the fragrance of diced spicy chicken, with a special aroma of chili peppers.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly moistened a little.

It's a familiar and unfamiliar taste, it's the smell of home......

Spicy chicken is my favorite dish, every year during the Chinese New Year, my mother will make it for herself, although there is only one chance a year to eat the spicy chicken made by my mother, but this taste glory will not be forgotten.

Spicy chicken is a home-cooked dish, and every family will make it, but the taste is different for each family, and this taste is only made by mothers.

Smelling this, Glory confirms that he is not wrong, this is his home!

He crossed the threshold with his luggage and shouted, "Dad, Mom, sister, I'm back!" Light Boy is back! ”
