greenfield legend

Chapter 21
Although the atmosphere of Chinese New Year has faded in recent years, Chinese people still attach great importance to family reunion during Chinese New Year.

Xiao Xiao would always feel depressed during Chinese New Year in the past, because there would always be relatives who would compare him with his cousin.The results of each comparison can be imagined, how can a guy who can't even juggle the ball compare with the young genius of the youth team?And Xiao Xiao is much older than his cousin, so Xiao Xiao can only listen to the applause and praise of his cousin in boredom.

But this year, thinking about it, I can really have a happy new year, Xiao Xiao thinks of his grandfather's words, and strengthens his belief even more.To play football well, to become the world's most powerful football superstar.Only by getting ahead in this way can we spend the New Year happily in the future.

On New Year's Eve, Xiao Xiao's old villa was extremely lively.In addition to the usual grandma and uncle's family, uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts all gathered together.

At the dinner table, it is indispensable to talk about the children of each family, but this time the protagonist is no longer his cousin Xiao Kai, but Xiao Xiao, the head shooter of the Pearl Academy team who is in the limelight.

"Ah Xiao, you've grown up and are promising!"

"I was optimistic about Ah Xiao's success early in the morning. I heard that the most powerful player in Mingzhu Academy is our Ah Xiao, haha!"

"Work hard, A Xiao, you will definitely become a football superstar in the future."

The praises are endless, of course I don't know if they are sincere, but at least Xiao Xiao can hear it comfortably.He secretly glanced at the parents beside him, and also showed a rare smile, obviously proud of his son.

Xiao Xiao seemed to have really grown up a lot. He suddenly realized that the most sad thing for children must be their parents.On the one hand, I want to comfort my children so that they don't lose confidence in themselves; on the other hand, I have to face the comparison and ridicule of other families, and secretly lick their wounds.

"Brother and sister-in-law gave birth to a good son. He has been so sensible and obedient since he was a child, and now he is so good at playing football." The aunt looked at Xiao Xiao enviously and said.

"No way, this child has been worrying us all the time." Xiao Yingying seemed to be complaining to Xiao Xiao, but she was happy in her heart.Once upon a time, she heard others say Xiao Xiao at a dinner party.

Over the past seven or eight years, every time she had a reunion dinner, she silently watched other families as the protagonists, and listened to how wonderful their children were.Women are narrow-minded, but today it is rare to be the protagonist, and they talk a lot, so they are really proud.

Xiao Xiao didn't think too much, he just saw his parents happy.Of course, he also sneaked a look at his uncle and aunt, and saw that their faces were a little cold, he was very happy.

After the meal, the adults were all busy chatting, except for the children who had their own activities, all the others were sent to set off firecrackers or fireworks.In the past, Xiao Xiao could only set off fireworks with a group of seven or eight-year-old kids, but this year is different, he also has three buddies of his own.

While eating, Chen Sheng took the lead in sending himself a message. The content was a page full of plans for tonight, such as going to the municipal square to watch a football match, going to the street to ask for red envelopes, and finding a place to have a barbecue while setting off fireworks.

Xiao Xiao thought it was funny to praise that kid for thinking of so many activities, but he also felt warm in his heart, and replied a message saying that we will talk about it later.

But just after he sent a message back to Chen Sheng, both Yang Hao and Zhang Sheng sent messages urging him to come out to play, complaining that they couldn't stand the gossip of the aunts and aunts at home.

He didn't see Chen Sheng complaining about this, Xiao Xiao thought viciously, maybe a gossip guy like Chen Sheng fell in love with those aunts and aunts, maybe he would happily join them when he saw them gossip about others.

Suddenly Xiao Xiao thought of the old man again, and the old man who celebrated the Chinese New Year disappeared again.Still leaving without saying a word, Xiao Xiao felt a little lost at first, but remembering that the masters in martial arts novels are all straightforward, he felt that he was too hypocritical.It's just a pity that I didn't say Happy New Year to him.

※※※

Waiting for Xiao Xiao to arrive at the designated place, waiting for him, Chen Sheng and the others first greeted Xiao Xiao with old fists, as a punishment for his late arrival, and then discussed the plan for tonight.

Chen Sheng was in high spirits: "Ah Xiao, let's stay up all night today. Let's go to the street first, go to the supermarket to buy some food, and then go to the rooftop barbecue in the square. There will be a ball game at [-] o'clock in the morning tonight, so let's go to the ball game..."

"Look again..." Xiao Xiao didn't agree, he was not used to playing all night.

Chen Sheng's eyes turned to Yang Hao, and Yang Hao spread out his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do to help.

But Zhang Sheng shook his head: "It's Chinese New Year tonight, and my family asked me to go back early."

Unable to get support, Chen Sheng blinked and looked at the three of Xiao Xiao pitifully, and finally gave in with a sigh.

The street was decorated with lights and festoons, and the four of them walked all the way along the street to the Municipal Square, where they found a snack stall and sat down.

"Hey! Chinese New Year is getting more and more boring." Chen Sheng sighed all night.

Zhang Sheng asked the owner of the snack stall to grill some meat kebabs, and turned to Chen Sheng and said, "Go, it's just that you feel empty, lonely and cold. We don't have that much feeling."

"Chinese New Year is very good, just eat and drink, and everyone is happy." Yang Hao patted Chen Sheng heartlessly: "Don't you still think that it will be better if you go back to school? This is not like you at all."

"Hey, I was looking forward to the holiday every day before the holiday, but once the holiday is over, I want to go back to school again." Chen Sheng paused: "Of course I don't want to go back to school to study, but I want to go back to school to play football..."

"It's been so long since I haven't played football, my feet are really itchy." Yang Hao nodded: "But it's almost time to leave school, and we have another training camp before school starts."

"By the way, have you guys heard about it?" Zhang Sheng heard Yang Hao mentioning the training camp, and remembered something: "I heard that Teacher Dong will pay more attention to physical training this time..."

"What's the matter?" Chen Shengman asked indifferently.

Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes: "Then it is very likely that we will need to run a few more laps... Do you think Mr. Dong will come up with other new sports to help us exercise?"

"No way..." Yang Hao shuddered: "I ran thirteen laps of the field last time in the training camp, and I was so exhausted... This time, it seems that I just die..."

"Is the news reliable? You just gave us bad news on New Year's Eve, and this year won't be over." Chen Sheng said dejectedly, he tilted his head just in time to see Xiao Xiao Mimi smiling, and said dissatisfiedly, "Ah Xiao, why are you laughing. You don't have to laugh at us if you know your physical fitness is good."

Xiao Xiao still had a smile that had nothing to do with him, and he didn't hear Chen Sheng's words at all.

But Xiao Xiao can't be blamed, he really didn't hear it.Just received a message from the little girl Tang Jiayi, and chatted without saying a word.

Whether to choose to send messages with the beauty or chat with the three bastards in front of him, Xiao Xiao chose the former without thinking.Although he felt that he was not close to Tang Jiayi, but if the beauty took the initiative, Xiao Xiao, a promising young man who had gradually left his status as a dick and an otaku, would naturally not refuse the opportunity to come to her door.

Of course, the definition of delivery to Xiao Xiao, who is still very pure, means to take the initiative to chat with him.

"Huh..." Yang Hao gossiped around behind Xiao Xiao: "Damn, I was sending messages with my sister, no wonder I didn't say a word just now."

Xiao Xiao, who came back to his senses, put the phone in his trouser pocket before Yang Hao saw the content of the message: "Why, what are you talking about?"

"Hey! We're not doing anything, but what are you doing?!" Chen Sheng smiled maliciously.

Yang Hao hugged Xiao Xiao tightly, gossiping: "Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist. Say, are you sending messages to your sister Jiayi?"

Xiao Xiao scolded with a smile: "Go, children don't care about adults' affairs."

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Xiao Xiao's face, the three of Chen Sheng booed immediately.

While the three of them were eating and didn't pay attention, Xiao Xiao secretly sent another message: I'm playing with a bunch of bastards, we'll talk later!

※※※

In the end, the four of them wandered around the municipal square for most of the night, and then dispersed.

It was not past twelve o'clock when Xiao Xiao got home, and most of the people in the family were still chatting, only the old man and the child couldn't bear it and went to sleep.

Seeing Xiao Xiao came back, Xiao Yingying, who was talking happily with her aunt and aunt, pointed to the room: "Ah Xiao, go and help your dad post the Spring Festival couplets."

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry, it's still early!" The aunt stopped Xiao Xiao and said with a smile, "Ah Xiao, just now your mother praised you for playing football, why don't you come and show everyone."

Xiao Xiao was a little speechless, football performance?I don't know how my aunt came up with it.If I had known this before, I might as well go to barbecue with Chen Sheng and the others. I really regret it and I don’t know who to tell!
"Then listen to your aunt and go and get a football to play with." Xiao Yingying didn't know what her son was thinking, but she wished everyone could see him well.Even if her aunt didn't speak up, she still thought of an excuse to make her son show off to everyone.

"Mom, do you really want to play?" Xiao Xiao looked unwillingly at Xiao Yingying.

"What are you afraid of, it's all family." Xiao Yingying urged: "Hurry up, don't let the whole family wait for you."

Xiao Xiao lowered his head in frustration, moved his body, picked up a leather ball from the side of the shoe rack, and bounced feebly.

"Yo, it's really good." The aunt didn't intend to take a closer look, but after a few glances she said to her cousin who was lying on her lap, "Look, you brother Axiao is so good, you can learn a lot from him in the future."

"Look at what you said, Ah Shang will definitely be more promising than a bastard like me in the future." Xiao Yingying said a few words modestly, seeing Xiao Xiao's impatient look, she said again: "Okay, go find your father, remember to help him post Spring Festival couplets..."

As if Xiao Xiao, who had received the amnesty, immediately revived, he dropped the ball and ran away, fearing that his aunt would make some strange demands.

He is already 17 years old, and he still has to be played around like a child, Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly.

Come to think of it, this kind of Chinese New Year is really boring.Compared to dealing with those gossiping and curious relatives, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that it was better to deal with the guards who frantically tackled him during the game.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao has never been so looking forward to the arrival of the college league!
