Chapter 55 Christmas
Evergreen trees covered with colorful decorations, red pointed hats, and the smiling old man with a white beard... When these factors are everywhere in life, it means that the biggest festival in the West: Christmas is coming. In Spain, Christmas celebrations are not only one day, but continue from December 22 to January 6. Moreover, January 6 is also a traditional Spanish festival: The Three Kings Day. Unlike other countries, Spanish children will not receive their Christmas gifts until this day.
Rejecting Dina's kindness and Tapia's invitation, Linsen chose Christmas Eve as in previous years. He planned to pass it like usual days, but when he returned to his residence, he was still invited by the enthusiastic old Cruz couple, because Linsen gave them two tickets to the VIP stands, and also gave them a beautiful game: defeating Osasuna four to two.
Originally, Old Cruz only maintained a general hobby for football, has developed into a Malaga fan vaguely. Now, when he met Linsen, the chance of Malaga appearing has become higher and higher. Linsen doesn't know if he should be happy about this, but it seems that Mrs. Cruz seems to be supporting Mrs. Cruz's addition of such a hobby.
Linson couldn't refuse the invitation because Old Cruz even waited for him at the door. However, when he walked into Old Cruz's Christmas-filled house, he saw a strange acquaintance.
"Why are you here?"
When the eyes were facing each other, the two spoke in unison.
I just wanted to introduce it, but I didn't expect that the two of them actually met Old Cruz was also a little surprised: Do you know each other?
Of course I know.
Lin Sen sighed in his heart that the world was indeed very small. The one who was helping Mrs. Cruze prepare dinner was a girl, Alyl and Cinderella's friend. To put it simply, she was a friend of her friend. Last time Lin Sen came to Malaga to discuss the signing of the contract, the two met at the Picasso Memorial Hall and had a meal together.
"This is my grandfather and grandma. I have been here for Christmas in recent years. Tell me, why are you here? Are you following me?" Ariel was obviously very surprised by Lin Sen's appearance. She asked with wide eyes, and she was still so weird in her words.
"Unfortunately." Linson shook his head and smiled, "I am Mr. Cruz's neighbor."
"You really, really sure you haven't followed me?" Ariel's eyes widened.
Lin Sen was a little amused, but he had to admit that it was indeed a coincidence. So he joked: "Please, Cinderella will be jealous."
"Ariel?" Old Cruz on the side heard the more he heard, and he looked at his granddaughter with confusion.
"Grandpa, don't worry, we're kidding." Ariel smiled at this time, and then briefly explained the process of the two. Old Cruz was relieved. Then, Old Cruz replaced Alice's dinner assistant, forcing Lin Sen to face Alice's various questions like a wild and wild one.
"You are so indifferent that you didn't even notify me if you changed your phone number. Cinderella was so sad."
"It's hard to imagine that after that you didn't take the initiative to call one of us? I asked Boya, and she didn't even receive any indication from you. Are you sure your orientation is normal?"
"I still don't believe it's a coincidence. Are you sure you don't know that your neighbor is my grandparents before you move in? Don't worry, I won't be angry."
...
Lin Sen scratched his head repeatedly, and it turns out that football is much simpler.
Lin Sen has always believed in the saying of fate, which is why he is still single now. He once had a girlfriend, a Chinese girl studying in the UK, and that was also fate. The two dated for more than half a year. Later, because Lin Sen left the UK, the girl returned to China soon. Gradually, the relationship that was not strong was fading. The last time they communicated was on the Internet, through msn, the last sentence was to take care of themselves. From beginning to end, neither of them said the word destined to be sad.
That was the only relationship in Lin Sen's memory, which was neither bloody nor soap opera. It started with a simple beginning and ended with a simple end.
For Alil, Linsen has a good impression, or in other words, he has a good impression of Cinderella and the other three. Alil is cheerful, Cinderella is easy-going, Boya and quiet, and is both good young people in the new century. Of course, the most important thing is that the three girls are all very beautiful. But when it comes to thinking, it is fake to say that there is no at all. The little devil in Linsen will occasionally remind him to use his eyes, but since Linsen held back last time, this time after knowing that the other party was the granddaughter of the old Cruz and his wife, he could not be so vulgar. In general, Alil is a friend of Linsen to Linsen, and at most it can only be considered as "knowing each other" at the level of "knowing each other".
Before dinner, Mrs. Cruze brought out a few portions of almond pudding. Linson knew that this was a small custom before Christmas dinner. Before eating something else, eat almond pudding first. If anyone eats that complete almond, he will be the person with the best luck in the coming year. Generally speaking, if there are children at home, parents will intentionally leave the portion with almonds for their children to make them happy.
"Go to see who is better luck." Ariel, like a child, turned his eyes and looked at the patch on the dining table, and said with hope, "You are a guest, you choose first."
"Are you sure?" Lin Sen's eyes flashed, and he pointed directly at one of them and smiled, "Then I want this one."
"Don't think about it?"
"That's it."
"Okay, I'll want this one."
After saying that, Alil directly picked up the one Lin Sen designated and smiled sly.
OK, I was fooled.
Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, and was a little amused and cried. He forgot that during the last meal, Alyl said that they were studying psychology.
While watching his granddaughter eat almonds from Lin Sen's designated pudding, the old Cruz and his wife looked at each other and smiled.
In their eyes, both Alyl and Linsen are children.
Christmas dinner, in other words, is New Year's Eve dinner, and what you want is family reunion and sharing food. The old Cruz and his wife only gave birth to one daughter, so since they got married, they basically depended on each other for Christmas. Perhaps considering this, after Ariel went to college, she would basically come to spend Christmas with her grandparents every year, so naturally, Ariel's parents would not object to this.
During dinner, not only did the old Cruz and his wife ask Lin Sen frequently, but Alyl kept asking Lin Sen for trouble, which made Lin Sen feel a little moved and helpless.
Lin Sen knew the intentions of the three of them very well, but he was simply considering that he was an "outsider" and did not want to "see him".
But in fact, this is really unnecessary, because although Lin Sen spent much longer abroad than in China, Christmas is still not as important as the Spring Festival in his mind. What's more, he has long been used to celebrating holidays alone, and he has long been very open-minded. It is precisely because he doesn't want others to help him feel sad about the spring and autumn that he rejected Dina and Tapia's invitation before, but unexpectedly, he still didn't hide.
However, Lin Sen was moved by the kindness of the old Cruz and his wife, and felt a little ashamed. Unlike Dina's friendship, it was not a colleague relationship like Tapia. The facts between Lin Sen and the old couple were limited to neighbors. Lin Sen thought that he had not helped the old couple too much, and some of them were mostly just a small task, but the old Cruz and his wife obviously cherished this "neighbor relationship" more than Lin Sen.
After talking about the topic of Old Cruz, he finally returned to Malaga.
Like many new fans, Cruz's interest in transfers is obviously much greater than tactics. He quickly asked about the great achievements of Malaga in winter transfers. Lin Sen could only smile and told him not to have too much expectations.
This is a fact. After failing to get the promise of staying at the team from Cork, Lin Sen has not yet been able to determine a more suitable replacement. This has even given him the helpless idea of "the most self-designed". He thought that if Cork really leaves by then, he would simply let Reus take the lead. However, in this way, Gundogan could only continue to "came" in the front midfielder.
In fact, Lin Sen is not without a candidate, but it is not very operational. In the position of the left winger, there are many potential stocks, and the future Belgian core Hazard of Lille, France's Lille team, and Pastorre, who has not yet entered Europe... These are all people who are very popular in this position in the future, but they have no choice but to do so. Malaga is still in a "naked" state in terms of budget. Even after selling Cork, it will only be 2.5 million. Moreover, with Malaga's current league ranking, Lin Sen has no doubt that if he likes someone, then Malaga will definitely not get any benefits in price.
At this time, Ellis, who was sitting next to him, enjoying the big meal, listened to her grandfather and Lin Sen chatting about her puzzling football, and suddenly made a sentence.
"By the way, Lin, after graduation next year, how about I'll work for you?"
Lin Sen, who was raising his glass to drink water, was almost choked when he heard this. He put down the glass, stared at Alyl with a smile on his face, and said, "Work for me? What do you do?"
"Of course I'm a psychological counselor." Ariel said for granted, "Can I still play football?"
Psychological…counselor?
Lin Sen was stunned, but his heart suddenly realized.
Not to mention, many football clubs are really equipped with such a position now, but that is a more specific branch: sports psychological counselor.
