Fox in the Penalty Area

After half a day of recovery training, Qin Lin drove to the airport.

The reason why he didn't go home directly was because he was coming here to pick up someone, his wife and son.

Almost two months after he transferred to Flash Star, when the new semester was about to start, he finally completed the transfer procedures for his child with the help of the club.

And today is the day when his wife and children fly from Lingnan to Jincheng to reunite with him.

As Hu Lai analyzed before, Qin Lin has not decided whether to let his children come with him because he is not very optimistic about his prospects in this team.

So his plan at the time was to give the child to his father-in-law and mother-in-law first, and let his wife come to accompany him.

But on the one hand, the wife is reluctant to part with her son, and on the other hand, the wife is worried that her parents will not be able to take care of the child. After all, the elderly... always want to pamper children more. She is worried that if the elderly take care of them for a long time, they will develop some bad habits. In Lingnan, Qin Lin's wife has always insisted on taking care of the children by herself.

His wife didn't want to leave their children behind to come to Jincheng, and Qin Lin was worried that after his wife and children came, the team's performance would not be good and they would eventually be relegated, and he would have to find another home.

It would be fine if he was alone, he could go anywhere with a backpack and a suitcase.

But if you have a family and a mouth, this matter will be complicated.

It is precisely because of this concern that he has not made up his mind whether to let the child come with him.

It wasn't until almost half a month ago that he made a decision to let his wife and children come to Jincheng to reunite with him.

From now on, when he finished his training and returned home, it was no longer an empty house, but his wife and children were waiting for him.

Although it was a rented house, it made Qin Lin feel at home.

After learning of Qin Lin's decision, the Flash Star Club let out a sigh of relief, and of course actively cooperated with Qin Lin to help him find a school in Jincheng to accept his children.

They also knew very well that Qin Lin decided to let his wife bring their children to Jincheng, which showed that his confidence in Shan Xing had greatly increased.

This is a good thing.

After Qin Lin came to the team, he immediately became the absolute core force of the team, proving that he is still alive.

Such a player who is extremely important to the team,

With full confidence in the future of the team, the team's preparations and signings for next season will be much easier to carry out.

After making some simple and necessary disguises, Qin Lin stood at Exit No. 4 of the terminal building. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw his wife pushing a luggage cart and walking out with her son.

So he quickly raised his arm and waved it.

The wife also saw him, and the son dropped his mother and ran out from the exit passage, throwing himself into his arms: "Dad!"

"Hey, good son!" Qin Lin bent down and picked up his son who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, then went to meet him, and then hugged his wife.

The family of three finally reunited again.

Afterwards, Qin Lin put his son down, pushed up the heavy luggage cart, and took his wife and children to the parking lot outside.

After putting all his luggage into the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz G with Lingnan license plates, he got into the car and set off for home.

"I remember that I was not very optimistic about my prospects here before. Why did you suddenly make up your mind to let us come here?" The wife sitting in the co-pilot first turned around and asked her son to fasten the seat belt on the back seat, and then asked the husband.

"I found an interesting young man, I want to stay here to see more." Qin Lin smiled.

"Is it the one who said at the welcome ceremony that he grew up watching football?"

Qin Lin nodded: "That's right. That's a very interesting kid."

"Just a young man, can you be confident about your future in Shining Star?" The wife still couldn't understand.

"Of course not, but I want to take care of him as much as possible. He is talented, but his personality is a bit out of the ordinary. I don't want him to follow Zhang Qinghuan's old path." Qin Lin said while driving.

Hearing the name "Zhang Qinghuan", the wife knew who it was, and Qin Lin had obviously mentioned this person before her. She was a little surprised: "Can he compare with Zhang Qinghuan?"

"The two have different playing characteristics, but in terms of future achievements... If Zhang Qinghuan continues like this, Hu Lai will definitely be higher than him."

"I will have great achievements in the future!" said the son who had been sitting in the back seat without saying a word suddenly.

"Yes, yes, our family Qiqi is also very good!" The mother hurriedly turned her head and gave her son a thumbs up.

"You have to work hard enough." The father Qin Lin chose to put pressure on his son, "Do you know when Hu Lai started playing football?"

"When?"

"Sixteen years old. I didn't start football training until I was sixteen. After only three years of training, I was able to be the main striker in a professional team."

Qin Lin's son, Qin Qi, stared at the back of his father who was driving with wide eyes, but his father ignored him, and he turned his gaze to his mother, who nodded to him, "It's true, Qi Qi."

"Then he's much better than me..." Qin Qi said dejectedly.

Seeing this, my mother quickly comforted me: "It's okay, our Qiqi has been receiving football training since kindergarten. As long as we train hard and work hard, we will be very good in the future!"

Qin Lin, who was driving, raised his mouth when he heard his wife comforting his son.

This is what it feels like to have family by your side...

Although her husband said that there was no need to tell his son what he said, Xie Lan still called Hu Lai during the lunch break at work.

She has two things to tell her son. The first thing is of course to tell him that his father finally watched his game. This is a gratifying progress!

The second thing is to pass on what Hu Lixin said to his son.

Hu Lai reacted calmly to the fact that his father finally watched his game. He didn't really care whether his father watched his game or not, anyway, it wouldn't affect his performance anyway.

But it still surprised him that Dad specifically pointed out the problems he was facing now.

Because this is the same as what the coaches told him.

I didn't expect my father to still have a little vision...

He originally thought that after his father rejected football for so many years to the point of paranoia, his understanding of football had already degenerated to the point where he was no different from an experienced football blind...

As a result, he actually knew the problem he was encountering now after watching only one game of his own.

"Don't worry, mom. Dad is right. How can our coach not see this kind of problem? In fact, since this week, the coach has added targeted strength training to me, just to strengthen me in the penalty area. The ability to resist..." Hu Lai comforted the anxious mother.

"However, physical training is a long-term process. It doesn't mean that you can see the effect in a day or two. So don't pay too much attention to this matter. It's no big deal if I don't score in a game or two. I count it as the last round. No goals, but there is also an average scoring efficiency of one goal per game. Does mom know how terrifying this efficiency is? Many people can't even score one goal in two games. I can score one goal a game...Relax, son Awesome!"

In the face of such achievements, of course Hu Lai doesn't need to be humble. He even deliberately created a tall image in front of his mother. On the one hand, it is naturally to reassure her, and on the other hand... it is also to prove that he chose this path correctness.

As a child, who doesn't want to show off his achievements in front of his parents?

Xie Lan really doesn't know much about football, but since her son has said so, she thinks there must be no problem, after all, her son is really very good now.

Seeing that her son seemed to be in a good mood, she took advantage of the situation and said, "Oh, I was planning to go to Jincheng to look for it, but since the game started, our time has always been inconsistent. When I am free, I am at work. I rested and went to play games... Can I come home for the Spring Festival next year?"

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his mother to make such a request, and he knew why his mother had to ramble so much before revealing his real purpose.

Isn't it because I ran away from home and had a tense relationship with my father...

She must have hoped to ease the relationship between them by telling him that his father had watched him play, and then take advantage of the reason to go home for the New Year to bring the two of them together...

But unfortunately, I am going to disappoint my mother.

Hu Lai said embarrassingly: "But Mom, if there are no accidents, we should gather for winter training after New Year's Day to prepare for the new season. Everyone will not go back to celebrate the New Year..."

Xie Lan heard his son say this, with obvious disappointment and puzzlement in his tone: "Is this so? But it's only August now, how do you know what the arrangements will be then?"

"It's like this every year, Mom. Even if there is a difference in the date, it won't be too far apart."

When Xie Lan heard her son say this, she suddenly realized a problem. She exclaimed: "Isn't that going to winter training every Spring Festival?"

"Uh, it should be like this..." Hu Lai also realized that after embarking on the road of professional football, he lost the qualification to reunite with his family during the Spring Festival.

Unless he retired, the Spring Festival in his sophomore year was actually the last reunion with his parents...

And when he retires, how old will his parents be and how old will he be?

Think about the big brother Qin Lin who is still playing at the age of thirty-eight... Hu Lai feels that with his own playing style and the help of cheats, he might be kicked by the big brother Qin Lin for a long time.

At that time, I will probably have a wife and children, and my parents may be even more old with gray hair. Will my father's leg that hurts every time it rains, can he still move freely?

Like when he was in school, when the Spring Festival came, my mother would start busy in the kitchen a few days in advance, and the lively scenes of my father going to various New Year markets to buy and help will never be seen again.

Now that I think about it, the time I left without saying goodbye, I was running bravely on the road to pursue my dreams, but I also left behind those things I had been accustomed to...

At that time, he thought that what was waiting for him would be flowers, praise, cheers and a bright future, but he didn't know what he would lose.

There was a silence on both sides of the phone, apparently Hu Lai's mother, Xie Lan, also realized that on that night when she couldn't stop crying, something was changed forever.

After making up his mind, Hu Lai said, "Mom...Although we can't celebrate the New Year together, we have a one-month vacation after the season. At that time... I will come back at that time."

Xie Lan on the other side of the phone forced a smile: "Alright, let's celebrate the New Year earlier."

When he was about to drive home—Qin Lin used to call this rented villa a "rental house", but now that he has a wife and children, the "rental house" has finally been upgraded to a "home"——Qin Lin said to his wife Discussed: "After we tidy up the house, after a while, I would like to invite my teammates to our house as guests."

"Are you all invited? I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down at home..." His wife frowned.

"Of course it's impossible. We have more than 30 people in the first team... We must have a better relationship." Qin Lin said. "There's a garden behind the house, perfect for a barbecue party."

"Oh, that's no problem, it's up to you." The wife leaned lightly on the back of the seat, tilted her head and looked at her husband with tenderness in her eyes.

And their child, already reclining on the back seat, fell asleep early.
