Chapter 10 Going to the Portuguese Grandma's House

"Vito," Victor saw his mother who was about to leave his house, but now stood by the door.I heard my mother say to herself,
"Vito, tidy up your clothes before going to bed tonight. Tomorrow we will fly to grandma's house in Lisbon for a pleasant vacation."

"What?" Although Victor remembered that his mother had told him yesterday that he planned to go to his grandmother's house in Portugal for vacation.But now I hear my mother confirm that I will go to Portugal tomorrow.So, Victor couldn't believe it, and asked again,

"Is this true? Mom." Then, Victor remembered something, and continued to ask, "Then Mom, have you told Dad about this?"

"Yes, my little Vito." The mother who was standing at the door and was about to leave Victor's room walked to Victor's side again, and then told Victor with certainty,

"I have already told my dad that we are going to my grandmother's house in Portugal for vacation, and my dad agrees that we will go. In addition, my dad also said that if it is not because his supermarket is really unable to leave, he will choose to go to my grandmother with us. Home."

"Oh, that's really great." Victor was very happy, very excited.Then, Victor's mother kissed Victor's forehead.After saying goodnight to Victor, he left Victor's room.

Before going to bed that night, Victor hurriedly packed his clothes for the past few days in his suitcase.Then, he lay down on his bed with excitement.Call the system three more times.Victor did not forget to train in the system every day to improve his level.

However, after entering the training ground created by the system tonight.The "coach" created by the system is almost exactly the same as the coaches of thousands of ordinary English clubs and youth training academies. After showing himself his own attribute map first.

Victor was surprised.Below each of their attributes.As the system said before, the "progress bar," which represents growth, has different rises.Victor felt very surprised, so he pointed to his property map.asked,
"System, why did all my attributes go up today? Didn't I not train today?"

"It's like this," the system immediately resolved Victor's doubts, "Although you haven't started training today, you played a game against the Crewe Club youth team this morning. The team is not a weak team in your current grade. That's why the experience bar of your attributes has increased."

After listening to the system's explanation, Victor thought about it for a moment.Then he asked,
"In other words, if I can participate in more competitions, then there will be a lot of improvement?"

"In principle, this is the case," the system affirmed Victor's thoughts. "If you can join a professional football club, at your current age, you should be allowed to participate in the training and competition of the youth team. Facing different opponents, your performance on the field, as well as the situation of winning or losing, will affect You get a different experience."

Hearing these words from the system, Victor secretly strengthened his determination to find a way to join a professional football club.And Victor also felt more and more that he was helped by this system.Become a world-class football star like Zidane and Beckham.Perhaps it is not an unattainable dream.

But today's training will continue.Victor still chose the same as yesterday, short pass training.Still the same as yesterday, after hearing the number reported by the system, he kicked the football under his feet to the irregular figure marked with the corresponding number.And the three-hour training in the system ended very quickly.

When Victor chose to end the training, the football coach transformed by the system appeared in front of Victor again.And once again showed Victor the screen with various attributes of Victor.Victor also saw the progress bar below the "pass" data on his property map.It has accumulated a not-so-short section.

After waking up, Victor finished his breakfast at the dining table downstairs.Just with my mother, I took the suitcase I packed last night.Wait until the reserved car arrives.First go to London and after passport check from London.Boarded a plane to the capital of Portugal.

In Victor's memory, his grandmother's home was in a small town some distance away from Lisbon, Portugal.Unlike what Victor saw every day, the rainy weather unique to England.The weather at my grandmother's house is always full of sunshine.And the sky will always be blue sky with white clouds.And the sun hanging high.In addition, there is a large grape plantation belonging to my grandmother's family.

And grandma's house also has a very big house.Then the whole family lived together.There are not only a group of brothers and sisters of my own age, but also singing and dancing with my mother every time I go, and don’t forget the uncles and aunts who drink glass after glass of wine.

And Victor came into contact with football, and he was still at his grandmother's house.Follow behind my brothers who are a few years older than me, but not many.He ran crookedly, chasing the football in front of him, from the lawn where he played the ball to the streets in the town, and even to the square in the center of the runway.Then they ran from the square back to the street, and finally the footsteps of the older brothers who ran back home.

So, in fact, Victor doesn't like England's football flying around in the air.

The flight time passed quickly, and Victor put on his earphones.And wait until after Lisbon airport.Just out of the gates of the passenger arrivals area of ​​Lisbon Airport.I heard a very loud and energetic male voice shouting loudly,

"Bella! Vito!"

Victor and his mother looked towards the voice, and saw a typical Mediterranean-Latin man.He is not short, but he can be said to be a bit handsome.Black curly hair brushed back against the scalp.High nose bridge and brow bone.Wearing jeans and a shredded plaid shirt.

"Hi, Rafa!" Before Victor could recognize which uncle it was, his mother dragged the box excitedly and ran towards the man who was looking at him and his mother with a smile.

Then, after the two of them performed the face-to-face ceremony that is common in Latin-speaking areas, they had a quick conversation in Portuguese and English.At this time, Victor had already dragged the box to the two of them.

When Victor's mother saw Victor approaching, she immediately put her hand on Victor's shoulder, who was already much taller than herself.Then facing Victor, he said in Portuguese,
"Vito, have you forgotten your Uncle Raphael?"

After saying the name, Victor's memory immediately became active.Uncle Raphael, when I was a child, I remember going to my grandmother's house with my mother.Every time my mother sings and drinks with her group of uncles and aunts who are far or near.Uncle Raphael who always holds the guitar.

So, Victor immediately said with a smile on his face, also in Portuguese of course:
"Hello, Uncle Rafael. Long time no see."

"Hi, Vito." Uncle Raphael also gave Victor a face-to-face salute, and looked at Victor with a smile.Then he turned to Victor's mother and said,

"Ah, little Vito has grown so big now. I still remember when I was a child, after falling asleep at night, I carried him back to the house. He is just so big." Hand gestures for size.

However, the airport is not a place to talk so much, and the town where my grandmother lives is still a certain distance from Lisbon.So after asking questions like "why didn't Victor's dad come with you guys".Uncle Raphael put Victor and his mother's luggage in the trunk of the car he drove.Take Victor and his mother to Victor's grandmother's house.

After arriving at Victor's grandmother's house.Victor opened the door and got out of the car.I saw a group of people in front of me.Uncle Rafael who didn't wait to get out of the cab to go to the trunk to get the luggage.Victor took a closer look and saw that he had quite a few brothers and sisters, as well as a group of uncles, aunts, and uncles.And in the middle.She has the same brown hair as her mother, a little fat and short, an old lady with big earrings and a green dress.It's my grandmother.

"Grandma." Victor rushed up immediately.All of a sudden, he hugged his grandmother.After the hug, a face-to-face salute was performed.Victor's mother also hugged her grandmother and performed a face-to-face ceremony.After that, under the leadership of the grandmother, the family returned to the big house of the grandmother's house.

That night, there must be a grand gathering in the family.The next day, Victor didn't know what his mother and grandmother had said before.Grandma wants to go to grandma's room by herself, saying that she has something to ask herself.

Victor, of course, was going to his grandmother's room.When I got to grandma's room, I knocked on the door, and after getting permission, I walked into grandma's room.The interior of the house is simple.A bed, a dresser, and some chairs.On the wall, there are several photos.There is a group photo of the grandmother and the deceased grandfather.There are photos of grandma, grandpa and their own children when they were young.And some photos of the grandchildren.

"Vito, you can sit down wherever you want." After grandma greeted him, Victor found a chair and sat down.Just facing grandma.

"Vito," Grandma called Victor again.

"Yes, Grandma," Victor replied.

"I heard from Bella that a scout for an English professional football team invited you to join their team?" Hearing what grandma said, Victor understood.It turned out that my mother and grandmother had talked about this before.

"Yes, grandma." Of course Victor would not deny it, and then told his grandma in detail about Old John and the Crewe Club where Old John had played for his whole life.

After hearing Victor's introduction, grandma immediately muttered a lot.It means dissatisfaction. After all, in the hearts of the elderly, their children are always the best in the world.And the Crewe Club.Well, grandma thinks that Victor can directly play the main force in teams like Sporting Portugal and Benfica.

But that's not what grandma meant.After Victor smiled and listened to his grandmother's complaints, he suddenly heard his grandmother say,
"Vito, grandma supports your idea of ​​becoming a professional football player. Go ahead and do it, don't forget, grandma has a wine estate that will be part of you in the future."
