Father Green

Chapter 93: The Rhodes Family

Now Jack runs a Southampton-themed bar near St. Mary's Stadium, which is considered good.

This is the only descendant of the Rhodes family whose temperament is very similar to the old Rhodes. The second child of the remaining two children, Gary Rhodes, is a doctor and is currently working in a hospital in London. The third child, Leo, is a doctor. Lawyer, working in a law firm in London.

Even Jack's son, Harry Lord, has a very respectable job as a designer for a luxury brand.Harry's temper is not at all like that of his father Jack, and Charlotte saw what a serious British gentleman is in Harry.

This made Charlotte doubt whether Harry was Jack's own.
In the third generation of the Rhodes family, only Harry is working outside, and the other children are still studying.Some are studying computer science at the famous Imperial College of Technology, some are studying clinical and pharmacy at Cambridge University, planning to inherit the mantle of their father Gary, and some are studying business school at the University of Edinburgh, planning to start a business in the future.There is another high school student in Southampton, and the youngest is David who is in the Southampton echelon.

So in Charlotte's view, except Jack, the eldest son who won the true inheritance of the Rhodes family, the other children are "failures" of the old Rhodes' education. After all, the rest of the children are too "educated". These did not inherit the "excellent tradition" of the Rhodes family at all.

The three daughters-in-law were preparing dinner in the kitchen, the eldest Jack and the second Gary were helping each other, and the third Leo was accompanying Old Rhodes in the living room.After all, old Rhodes is getting old, his legs and feet are not as sharp as when he was young, and he still has heart disease. He has never left anyone by his side.The second child and the third child basically live in London at ordinary times, so the old Rhodes is usually taken care of by the eldest Jack.

From Charlotte's point of view, maybe getting married and having children and taking care of his old father made the former football hooligan Jack a good man.

Harry, the eldest of the third generation, was playing with his younger brothers and sisters in the living room. As the only one in the third generation who was working, he was naturally not "spoofed" by these younger brothers and sisters.

As soon as Charlotte entered the door, it was as if she had returned to her own home. She greeted everyone familiarly. In the past six months, Charlotte has come to Rhodes' house a lot, and everyone is familiar with each other.

"Come on, kids, get your presents!"

"Here, Lisa, this is yours. This is for Morey, aha, this is for our little 'house'"

House Rhodes is the eldest son of the third Leo, still in high school, and the second youngest in the third generation.And his name is House, which also means "house" in Chinese, so Charlotte often jokingly calls him "Little House".

"Hey, Uncle Charlotte, how many times have I told you, don't call me that"

"So what, Jack, what are you doing? Hell, it's fish and chips again. God, can't you be a little creative? It's the holidays, and it's time for something big, Gary, please, Let me show you some Chinese food today."

"Hey, Charlotte, is that the pockmarked woman who made the tofu?"

"Damn Jack, I'm saying it for the last time, that's called mapo tofu!!"

"Uncle Charlotte, we want scrambled eggs with tomatoes"

“There is also twice-cooked pork”

"roast potatoes and beef"

"Okay, no problem. Jack, hell you are too much of a hindrance in the kitchen, go out. If you have nothing to do, go out and buy some Yorkshire puddings. Although York's football sucks, their puddings are still very good."

"Damn Charlotte, why don't you play? You know it's Christmas Eve! All shopping malls and supermarkets are closed after noon"

As a restaurant owner at home, Charlotte is naturally good at cooking.Soon a series of Chinese home-cooked dishes were on the table. With the Western dishes prepared by the three daughters-in-law of the old Rhodes family, the table was still very rich.

Charlotte usually doesn’t have time to cook, so she either eats out at home, eats work meals at the club, or goes to old Rhode’s house for dinner, so Charlotte has very little time to cook, and he also likes to cook occasionally. , but if he had to do this every day, he couldn't stand it.

After enjoying a sumptuous Chinese-Western meal, Charlotte's cell phone rang while talking with the third son Leo in the living room of Old Rhode's house.He made an apologetic gesture to Li Ao, then avoided the noisy living room and came to the yard to answer the phone.

"Merry Christmas! Uncle!" The sweet voice of the little loli came from the other end of the phone.

"Merry Christmas! Grace!" Charlotte smiled happily.

Although busy recently, every once in a while little loli Chloe Grace Moretz will still call Charlotte and send a text message or something.

Of course, most of the time, Little Lolita is talking about herself, while Charlotte plays the role of a listener.

"Uncle, how was your Christmas?"

"It's great, I'm a guest at someone's house, you know I don't have family in London." Then Charlotte told little Lori how she spent the festival today, and the Chinese and Western dinner on that table.

"I really envy you, uncle, I'm miserable." Little Lolita's tone was a little aggrieved.

Charlotte is used to this, and she likes to tell Charlotte about the unhappy times she encounters in her life, as if complaining to the uncle in her heart can make her feel much better.

"What's wrong?" Charlotte asked very cooperatively.

"I can't rest for Christmas. The company has arranged too many training programs, too much work, and a lot of homework. You don't know, there is some kind of association in the United States. Any child who fails the exam cannot Make movies, make commercials."

Little Loli started the complaining mode endlessly, and Charlotte cooperated from time to time, "This scene?!", "Your agency is too inhuman.", "That director doesn't understand anything!", "Arrangement There are so many homework, do your teachers know it?" and so on
Through these two months of chatting, Grace naturally told Charlotte that she is a young actress, but Grace herself didn't know that when she told Charlotte's name, Charlotte already knew who she was.
This year is the busiest year for Grace. The next film appointments include Martin Scorsese's "Hugo", the American version of "Let No One Enter", and two more action-packed "Texas Killing Fields". " and "Hick", the last two films alone required Glazer to have professional martial arts moves and military training.

Moreover, these films are all scheduled between this year and the middle of next year, which shows how busy Grace is.You must know that she is not yet 15 years old, and she still has a lot of studies to complete.
"Since you are so tired, why are there so many notifications? You must know that your body is the most important thing."

"Less contact? Uncle, you obviously don't understand Hollywood. If it weren't for my popularity and a few older brothers who have connections, they wouldn't necessarily want me. Once I turn it down, I don't want to get a film contract in the future. Of course, the most important thing The most important thing is that I like acting very much, uncle, you know? I have been making movies since I was eight years old. Although it is a small role that cannot be smaller, I still remember the feeling of excitement.”

The two chatted for a long time, and after talking to Charlotte, Grace's mood improved a lot: "But fortunately, my parents and four brothers came to see me and spend the holidays with me. This is the only thing I am happy about Christmas. thing."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to ask my brothers for gifts. Uncle, Merry Christmas. I will try to find you in London next year."

"Christmas." Before Charlotte could say Merry Christmas, the busy tone of "beep beep beep" had already sounded on the phone, obviously the other party had hung up.

What a windy little loli, Charlotte shook her head and smiled wryly.

Charlotte, who put away her mobile phone, returned to the living room: "By the way, Leo. Where did we just talk?"

Li Ao smiled: "It's about the manager."

After a good Christmas, the team resumed training on the afternoon of the 25th.Because of Christmas Eve, the team still rested in the morning, in order not to let the players get up early after a busy night.

However, such a half-day training is naturally impossible to have any high-intensity training, and snowflakes are still dancing in the sky, so Charlotte simply conducts two training sessions.The first class is mainly about physical recovery, most of which are indoor training.And Charlotte looked at the weather forecast. There may be rain and snow these days, so in order to let the players adapt to the weather as soon as possible, his second class is naturally outdoor training.

As expected, there was a light snowfall on the 26th.

For Westerners, a Christmas without snow is naturally boring, making snowmen and snowball fights is also one of their traditional Christmas games, unless you go to Australia for Christmas.

Today is the No.19 round of the English Championship, and the Premier League is also starting at the same time, so few British people stay at home today, and they basically take their families to the stadium to watch the game and cheer for their teams.

In this round of the league, Charlotte and his team are playing at home, which is good news for Southampton fans, because they don't have to go to other cities for away games.

The opponent of the game is the "Fox City" Leicester City team. This team will set off a huge storm in the 2015-2016 season after the tinker Ranieri takes office. A top league champion, but the current Leicester City team is naturally a steel wire in the dick.

Like Southampton this summer, the Leicester City team has also carried out large-scale recruitment, and the lineup should not be underestimated.But the results are very mediocre. Eighteen rounds of the league have passed, but they only scored 22 points, ranking near the middle and lower reaches of the league.

This is naturally unacceptable to their Thai bosses. Looking at Southampton, which has invested the most this season, it is already the leader of the league. Almost everyone concludes that this season's promotion quota for the Saints has been locked.

Then look at the Leicester City team, which has the second highest total investment after Southampton in the entire British Championship. If you don't work hard, you will enter the quagmire of relegation.

So just after the thirteenth round of the league, the Thai boss of Leicester City fired the famous Swedish coach Eriksson who had coached Lazio, the England national team and Manchester City.Then he re-signed the previous head coach Nigel Pearson. Pearson was the head coach of Leicester City before. Cheng chose the famous Swedish coach. He did not expect that the Thai boss would have to turn around when his grades were not good.
