Chapter 317 I Heard You Are Awesome
Looking out of the prestige, Smith with the same silver-white hair had a kind smile on his face, and he walked slowly to the kitchen leaning on crutches, hale and hearty.

Smith is an atypical Portuguese man. In the Portuguese society where men are superior to women, Smith does not have the patriarchal ideas of traditional Portuguese men. He is more like a combination of a romantic Frenchman and a gentlemanly British man.

He takes good care of his wife and is responsible for family affairs. Therefore, Smith is regarded as a "wonderful flower" without a man's image in the local area.

However, in Xu Zangyi's view, all this does not hinder Smith's image of an open-minded, enthusiastic, and funny old man. More importantly, he really loves his wife.

"Mr. Smith, Madam made mapo tofu, it tastes great!" Xu Zangyi praised.

"Chinese food? It's great!" Hearing the words Mapo Tofu, Smith's eyes lit up and he walked quickly to the dining table.

Portuguese people appreciate Chinese food very much. In their opinion, Chinese food is no less than French food. In addition, Portuguese people think that Portuguese food is not inferior to French food. Compared with Chinese food, Chinese food is very precious.

Portuguese look at French food, just like we look at Korean food, full of disdain.But why are so many people chasing Korean kimchi?It's not just because it belongs to someone else's house.

The kimchi produced in Sichuan and Sichuan should not be too delicious and easy to cut.Besides, 90.00% of the kimchi on the Korean market is produced in China. If the language is changed, the taste will be different?The taste is not bad, the bad thing may be the heart!
"It looks very good!" Looking at the spicy and delicious mapo tofu, Smith moved his index finger and said anxiously: "Honey! Quick! Get me a spoon!"

Seeing Smith's anxious look, Mrs. Smith couldn't help laughing, and said, "Is that an exaggeration?"

"Of course! I swear this is the best Chinese food I've ever seen! Darling, you don't know how eager I am to try your mapo tofu! It's amazing!"

"Thank you dear!"

After being praised by her husband, Mrs. Smith was overjoyed and kissed Smith while passing the tableware.

Caught off guard, Xu Zangyi ate a mouthful of dog food...

Soon, Mrs. Smith put all the dinner dishes on the table.Like the Chinese, the Portuguese attach great importance to the last meal of the day - dinner.

Mrs. Smith has prepared six dishes of grilled, grilled, steamed, meat, vegetarian, appetizer, and solid. The main course is roast turkey, and the side dishes include vegetable salad, mapo tofu, and steamed fin fish, the national dish of Portugal. Dry, of course, seafood is indispensable.

Portuguese people love to drink, just like the name of their country. Wine is indispensable at all times, and it is also indispensable for the most important dinner.

Today's main course is turkey, and Smith took out his favorite red wine.The main course of dinner in Portugal determines the type of wine pairing. White wine should be paired with seafood dishes; red wine should be paired with meat; rose muscat wine should be paired with cold dishes.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Smith picked up the square towel in front of the table to wipe off the oil stains around his mouth, drank the last sip of red wine in the goblet, and leaned back contentedly, what a pleasure!

"Thank you very much for your dinner, Mrs. Smith! I'm done!" Then Xu Zangyi also put the last vegetable on the plate into his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth to express his gratitude to the hostess, and was about to get up and go back to his room.

"You're welcome! Have a nice evening!" returned Mrs. Smith.

"Thank you!"

"Oh! By the way! Yi! If you don't mind, can you go out with me?" Just as he left the dining table, Smith called Xu Zangyi back.

"Of course! Sir!" Xu Zangyi didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.

Walking with the old man is Xu Zangyi's wish all these years, but it's a pity that the elders in his family never gave him such a chance.Coming to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Smith made Xu Zangyi feel what it was like to have grandparents. Xu Zangyi was very happy to walk with Smith.

Putting on the equipment, the grandpa and grandson left the house.The temperature in Portugal in March is still quite cold, but Mafra by the sea is much better, and there is no wind on the sea today, so it is very suitable for walking.

With a bright moon and few stars, accompanied by the crashing waves, the two walked side by side on the beach of Ericeira. The bright moonlight seemed to cast a hazy veil on them, and the time was quiet.

"Before you know it, it's been half a year since you came to Ericeira! Time flies so fast!" Smith started talking.

"Five months and 20 days! Sir." Xu Zangyi reported a set of accurate figures.

"Five months and 20 days? You remember really clearly! It's good to be young, and you can put a lot of things in your mind." Smith sighed, and then said: "But I think you can focus on other things, Counting the days is supposed to be what we old men are supposed to be doing."

Xu Zangyi glanced at Smith, not understanding what he meant.

"You should learn to enjoy life! Child! Don't let the things of the past become your burden." Smith stopped, his wrinkled eyes glowed with deep love, and patted Xu Zangyi's shoulder.

"No...Mr. Smith...I..." Hearing this, Xu Zangyi couldn't help laughing. The little old man of feelings came out for a walk in the evening, so he was worried that he hadn't integrated into the life of Mafra, so he came out to enlighten him.

Could it be that in the eyes of the old man, he is a boring gourd?No matter what, Xu Zangyi is still very grateful to Smith in his heart.

He said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Smith! I am fine here, I like it very much, I am not unhappy."

Hearing what Xu Zangyi said, Smith didn't smile, but his face was a bit dignified.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Smith?" Xu Zangyi asked with concern.

When Xu Zangyi asked, Smith seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and said, "Oh! I'm fine, I was just thinking about you, are you really okay?"

"Of course! I think it's very good!" Xu Zangyi blurted out.

"Then why have you only been with Jack for half a year? Haven't seen you meet new friends? You..." Smith paused, his eyebrows huddled together, and after a few seconds, he reorganized his words and said, "I don't care about relationship issues." I have always been very open, but... I think your life should not only be Jack, you can also meet more people..."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Halfway through hearing this, Xu Zangyi almost lost his temper. Not only did the old man think he was a coquettish gourd, he also thought that his sexual orientation was also special.

Who is offended by not making friends?Do you think so?This is too outrageous, a straight man!
"Are you okay, Yi!" This time it was Smith's turn to ask.

Xu Zangyi coughed and waved his hands again and again, and said, "Mr. Smith...I...actually...it's not what you think! I'm just...just..."

"Just what?"

Xu Zangyi suddenly realized that this incident didn't seem to be easy to explain.If you don't admit that you are gay, how can you explain that you only have Jack Ma as a friend, and if you admit that you are gay, then there is no end!For the dignity of straight men!Only the lesser of two evils!

"It's just... well! Mr. Smith, I admit, my life at Vasco da Gama's school is not going very well!"

"I knew it!" Hearing Xu Zangyi's answer, the old head celebrated as if he had solved a big case, and Xu Zangyi looked at him with black lines all over his head. You know there is no need to be so happy...

"Yi! Listen to me! You should open your heart and meet new friends boldly! I think this community cup is a good opportunity. They are all children who are similar to you. You can get to know them well." Smith suggested.

Xu Zangyi had a headache for Smith's proposal. The last thing he wanted to hear recently was the Mafra Community Cup, and Smith just mentioned it.

"What's the matter with you? Is my proposal not good?" Seeing Xu Zangyi's embarrassed face, Smith asked.

"Without Mr. Smith, I...I don't know how to kick!" Xu Zangyi made a usual excuse.

Hearing this answer, Smith rolled his eyes, his expression seemed to say: I thought it was a big deal, boy!
Smith said: "No one will play the Community Cup! They are not professional athletes, no one will laugh at you! They play the Community Cup not to compete for any trophy, purely to enjoy the fun of football. Don't make yourself too nervous, relax Relax!"

Xu Zangyi's excuse of not being able to play was easily dismissed by Smith. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to play. Everyone is not a professional athlete.The most important thing is to be happy!
Let's see what else Xu Zangyi can conjure up this time!
"Still don't want to participate? Are you really..."

"No! No! You'll let me think about it! Will you, Mr. Smith!"

Seeing that Xu Zangyi didn't speak, Smith showed that suspicious look again, which scared Xu Zangyi to express his opinion quickly, for fear that it would be half a minute late.

And following what the old man said, Xu Zangyi had the urge to hit the wall.

Smith was calm, and said with an expression that I had already done it for you: "Don't think about it! I have already told Jack! The Community Cup has your name, find a time to report it!"

"It's not...Mr. Smith...I...you...you..." Xu Zangyi wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Are you happy?! You don't need to thank me, you can toast with me after you make a good friend!"

"Hmm~"

Smith had a natural expression, which meant that he was hiding his merit and fame.On the other side, Xu Zangyi was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis. He couldn't tell what he was suffering. He showed a smile in conjunction with Smith's performance. In fact, his heart was already full of sadness.

"Okay! I feel a little tired, old man! Let's go back!" Seeing that Xu Zangyi agreed, Smith was satisfied.What could be happier than having your grandson make friends?At present, there is no such thing.

"Oh~ so good~"

Xu Zangyi's answer was crying, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must make Jack Ma, the culprit, pay the price...
