Chapter 226 The taste of home
"This is a picture we took a little earlier. The picture of Rong undergoing a medical examination in Munich. The Chinese genius in the picture is smiling happily. Obviously, the result of the medical examination is good... He flew to Munich yesterday. From his mental point of view, he does not seem to be affected by the competition and the long-distance travel. His spirit is very good..."

"The South American Copa Libertadores final has been over for three days. Bayern Munich announced yesterday that they have signed the Copa Libertadores champion Rong Guang who played for Sao Paulo for $700 million!"

"...Rong performed well in the just-concluded Copa Libertadores, and he scored many key goals. This performance naturally attracted a lot of attention from European teams. As soon as the Copa Libertadores final ended, the Sao Paulo club received nine offers... But what disappointed these European teams was that what they waited 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 announced the introduction of Rong..."

“According to people familiar with the matter, Rong and Bayern Munich had reached an agreement as early as the middle of the season, and the two parties had already signed the agreement... The reason why the Sao Paulo club announced that they would not accept any offers related to Rong before the end of the Libertadores Cup final is also because they have actually completed the transfer contract with Bayern Munich...”

……

"In the just-concluded South American Copa Libertadores final, the Brazilian club Sao Paulo defeated the Argentine giant Boca Juniors 3:1 at home, thus defeating Boca Juniors with a total score of 5:1, and won the 2003 Copa Libertadores championship...In the two rounds of the final, it was a Chinese player who played the leading role..."

"Rong Guang, this is the name of this Chinese player. Since when did such a genius appear in our football? This has attracted the attention of the Chinese football..."

"Our reporter did not find such a name in the list of players registered by the Chinese Football Association. That is to say, this Chinese player who has made a big splash 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 inquired about professional football clubs in China, and there is no transfer of players to South American football, let alone a player named Rong Guang who has been transferred from China to Brazil... This player seems to have fallen from the sky. He popped up suddenly, and there are too many mysteries in him..."

"Our reporters flew to Brazil, but in Brazil, they were unable to find this mysterious Chinese player... The latest news is that Bayern Munich has signed this Chinese player! This is simply amazing! It is such a mysterious figure that we know nothing about who created the No.1 record for a Chinese player to join a wealthy club!"

"Glory! Who is he? Where did he come from? When did he start playing football? Why did he appear in distant South America? How did he become the main player of Sao Paulo? There are too many question marks on this player..."

"Our reporter has already flown to Munich, Germany in an emergency to interview this Chinese player... But unfortunately, we failed again!"

"Rong Guang, where is he?!"

※※※

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

In the past few days, the person who has made the Chinese media crazy is wearing a pair of shorts and a simple T-shirt, carrying a huge backpack, pulling an equally huge suitcase with his right hand, kicking a large disproportionate travel bag with his left hand, wearing a pair of sneakers, looking around while walking forward.

He didn't have a peaked cap with the brim pressed down very low, nor did he wear sunglasses wide enough to cover half of his face.

He has nothing to hide, he looks like any outsider who comes to Shanghai to work.

Among the crowd, no one recognized that this was Rong Guang, the all-powerful star player in South American football.

Although some people still hold the newspapers that are talking about him...

Then he lined up on the side of the road with other passengers, preparing to take the airport bus to the city.

Then, he will transfer to two buses, walk another 650 meters, pass through a messy vegetable market, pass the gate of a middle school, pass three traffic light intersections, bypass a garbage recycling station, and finally find his destination in a low-rise shanty town—the house rented by his parents and sister.

Why not choose to take a taxi?

With Rong Guang's stingy personality, if the distance wasn't too far away, he might even want to run away by himself...

Putting his luggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, Rong Guang lined up to get on the bus. He chose a seat by the window, 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 the car, he kept this posture, never caring who was sitting next to him.

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

Accelerate on the viaduct and head towards downtown Shanghai.

Rong Guang focused on the scene outside the car window, even if it was just some farmland houses.

※※※

A tall, but thin, long-haired young girl walked through the narrow alley with a lot of plastic bags in her hand, brushing past pedestrians and bicycles.

Every step she took was very powerful, as if she was jumping.

The long hair tied into a ponytail behind her swayed left and right with her brisk steps.

"Xiao Mo, why didn't you go to work today?" Someone among the passers-by asked in surprise.

"I asked for leave today, Uncle Li!"

"Hey, what are you doing with so many delicious things in your hand?" A fat middle-aged aunt walked out of the room next to the alley. She was still wearing pajamas and looked like she had just woken up. She could see the things in the girl's hand at a glance.

"My brother came back today, this is his favorite food!" The girl raised the things in her hands and said with a smile.

The bright sun shone on her face, making her smile extraordinarily bright.

Rong Guang held the backpack in his arms, with a travel bag under his feet and a suitcase beside him.Although he sat alone in a single seat, his bloated carry-on luggage took up all the surrounding space, causing many people to glare at him.

But Rong Guang still didn't notice these angry eyes.

He still kept the same action as he did on the airport bus—turning his head to look out the window.

The bus passed through the bustling commercial center, row upon row of high-rise buildings towering into the sky.The colorful billboards on those skyscrapers also dazzled his eyes.

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

Shanghai... the city my parents have said many times is really a bustling place!
The bus drives on a viaduct, and overlooking from the viaduct, you can see a large area of ​​low-rise old houses in shantytowns, with red walls and blue tiles, and clothes hanging on the roof and alleys can be seen everywhere, which are also colorful and dazzling.

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

This is also Shanghai...

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

This living condition reminded Rong Guang of the slums he saw in Sao Paulo.Although it is still much better than a slum, Rong Guang is still unwilling to let his parents and relatives live in such a place...

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

Thinking of this, Rong Guang hugged his backpack tightly.

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

This card is full of the salary and bonus earned by Rong Guang playing football in Brazil for one and a half years.

Add up to 150 million yuan.

With this money, Rong Guang felt that he should buy a nice house in Shanghai no matter what.

※※※

When Rong Xiaomo was washing the vegetables in the shared kitchen of the rental house, her mother got off work a little earlier than usual and returned home. She didn't even change her clothes, and went directly to the kitchen to help her daughter cook together.

The two were busy talking and laughing, looking forward to the return of their younger brother/son.

The pressure cooker was steaming on the gas stove, and the smell of rice diffused in the kitchen, and then drifted towards the rental house.

After the dishes were washed, my mother started to chop the vegetables, while Rong Xiaomo was helping.

Soon, Dad's bicycle bell rang outside—and Dad came back.

Back home, my father started packing up their tiny rental house.

A round table was propped up, and my father was vigorously wiping the stains on it. The table had not been used for a long time, and the family of three usually ate on a low coffee table.Obviously, such a small coffee table cannot hold the dishes that will be put on the table today...

Four of the plastic benches that are usually stacked are also placed around the table, and they are also wiped clean.

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

In order to welcome the arrival of the glory, the whole family got busy.

There will be laughter from time to time during the busy schedule.

All three had happy smiles on their faces.

Rong Guang walked through the narrow alley with big bags and small bags, turned his head to look around, and compared the house numbers.

"130 No. 140... 140 No. [-]... [-]... No. [-]."

He stopped in front of 140 Nine.

Inside a narrow door frame is a patio.

Rong Guang probed inside and saw the sound of chopping vegetables, and the sound of something falling into the frying pan. It was very lively.

When he was still hesitating whether this was the place he was looking for, he smelled the fragrance coming from inside.

It is the aroma of spicy chicken diced, with the special aroma of chili bursting.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became moist.

This is a familiar yet unfamiliar taste, the taste of home...

Spicy chicken is my favorite dish. Every Chinese New Year, my mother cooks it for myself. Although I only have the chance to eat spicy chicken made by my mother once a year, the glory of this taste will never be forgotten.

Spicy diced chicken is a home-cooked dish, and every family can make it, but the taste of each family is different. Only my mother can make this taste.

Smelling this smell, Rong Guang confirmed that he was right, this is his home!
He crossed the threshold with his luggage and shouted, "Dad, Mom, sister, I'm back!! Guangzai is back!"
