Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 23
When Jose returned to the training ground, the two children were hanging on the fence and chatting with Garcia. He really couldn’t ask Garcia about the original file in front of Jan, so Jose put the file bag in his coat. He stepped forward and picked up his son.

Pednio looked at them with envy and confusion. Jose noticed this keenly, and quickly put down Jan, asking him, "Little Pedro, where is your father? I want to meet you at noon." Let's have a meal together, and I will send you to the port in the afternoon."

Pedeno bit his lip and said, "Uncle Jose, my dad is out, so I'll stay with Coach Garcia and stop running around."

"It's almost noon. Uncle, let's take the two of you out for dinner. What do you want to eat? How about some Madeira-style dishes? Jan and I will listen to you." Jose said with a smile, he didn't want the child to stay any longer Sadly here.

Pedeno hung his head and said nothing. The night and morning in the bleak wind and cold rain, the embarrassing and cruel experience made it difficult for him to get used to the gentle treatment of others.

Jose's mood was not depressed because of this, he touched Pedeno's head, raised his eyebrows at Garcia and said: "Coach Garcia, I will take them to lunch, if Ped's father arrives first If you want, please help me, we will come back after eating..."

When the three of them walked to the gate of the Alcochete base, Jan poked Pedeno, who was out of spirits, and asked him by the shoulder: "Ped, what do you want to eat? We ate together, and I didn't see anything you particularly liked..."

Pedeno rubbed his sore eyes, trying to drive away the erratic tears, and his voice trembled: "Yang, aren't you also half Chinese? So I...I want to eat Chinese food today ..."

Yang looked up at Jose in surprise, and was about to ask his father what Chinese food he could eat in Lisbon, but Jose spoke a standard Chinese sentence, and then explained it to the two children.

"This is what your mother taught me. It means—get on the horse~dumplings~get off the horse~noodles."

Speaking of which, Jose turned to the other side and said to Pedeno, "Little Pedro, in China, people who travel far away eat this. Let's go, uncle will take you to eat dumplings."

……

……

No matter when, the Port of Lisbon will never become deserted, the crowd is noisy and happy, and can always fill the entire Imperial Square, but as long as you calm down, you can still distinguish from the numerous voices that the water of the Tagus River Embrace the rustling sound of the waves.

Tranquility comes from loneliness, and loneliness comes from parting, so this is also the sound of parting.

Pierre was squatting next to the luggage bag, holding two tickets tightly in his hands. Although Jose was standing beside him, he had no desire to talk at all, but kept clutching his pockets nervously. There is a letter of recommendation written by Luigi to Maritimo's sports director, and there is enough money to support Pedeno's studies.

Jose understood the embarrassing barrier between the two, and also guessed some of the reasons why Pierre was so stubborn, but he still maintained his usual smile and broke the silence first:

"Mr. Salvaldo, we had some misunderstandings before, but this should not be important. The important thing is that after such a thing happened, the relationship between the two children is still so good. As fathers, we can't live up to their friendship... "

Pierre was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Children, what can you understand... It's the same with parting, and it's the same with living. They all think it's just a play, how can there be such a simple thing."

"You can't say that. There is nothing absolutely complicated, and there is nothing absolutely simple. I am just a little curious. What did that club director do to make you abandon your own son's self-esteem." Jose smiled like It was as soft and warm as a spring breeze, but the words in his mouth were sharper than a sharp knife for boning.

Pierre suddenly stood up, his face full of irrepressible anger, stared at Jose for a while, and then said indifferently: "You want to talk to me? Since you don't know anything, don't mix it up." In other people's homes, you are also a Lisbon, so I have nothing to say to you."

Jose crossed his arms, squinted his eyes and looked at him, shook his head and said, "It's just an exchange of interests. Your words just reversed the matter of my son's injury. It can also be said to be a private matter." But our family has its own considerations, and now Yang has also left the team on his own initiative, so I don’t blame you. However, what you exchanged is not just your own self-esteem. Did you use Ped for the things you got in exchange for such a toss? I have to ask if I can help Neo with this matter!"

After hearing this, Pierre let go of the anger he mentioned. He sighed and said, "I heard from that coach named Garcia about your son leaving the team... You are a man, I am not as good as you, but you are also To believe in the bottom line of a father, I am really good for him..."

He briefly talked about what happened here, and Jose frowned and felt sad, so he could only helplessly pat him on the shoulder.

Pierre hesitated for a long time, rubbing the empty cigarette case in his hands a little irritably, and finally said in a low voice: "I heard from Peder about the lunch, no matter what, I still want to thank you. I He is a rough person, he can say a lot of bad things, and he can't say..."

He said with some self-reproach, but was interrupted by Jose shaking his head: "Roughness is no excuse, gentleness is not exclusive to mothers..."

As soon as Jose finished speaking, he laughed lightly, but there was an incomparably heavy bitterness in his laughter.

Pierre had heard from Peddenio that Jan had lost his mother when he was very young, and when he heard it again, he had nothing to say to soothe his grief, except for his sympathy.

Waiting for time in silence, licking the scars in silence, empathizing with each other in silence, this is the story of two men before parting.

……

"Jan, do you know Maritimo?"

"I know, isn't it your Madeira Islands team..."

"My dad asked me to report to Maritimo's youth training when I go back. He will take care of the files and tuition..."

"Isn't that great? I don't know where I can go yet."

"But I don't want to go to Maritimo. This must be discussed between my father and the Dufflar family. I know how much effort he took to help me erase this record on the file for my own good, but I still don't want to go. go."

"Ped, you'll make your dad angry, he's so scary when he gets angry..."

"I'm not afraid. I just don't want to be controlled by that bastard director. Although I'm not as good as you, I'm capable. I don't believe I can't get into other Madeira clubs by myself."

"Are there any other clubs in Madeira? I don't even know."

"Of course there is. You think Madeira Islands is very small! Isn't there a famous national team? I want to try it there. It's really not possible. It seems that there was a newly created team last year called Madeira. Pulling the league team is just a little smaller."

"You, Pedeno, will be the main midfielder of the Madeira national team in the future?"

"Then Yang, you can go and be Benfica's starting midfielder. They and our old club are still rivals in the same city. When we see Dufflar in the future, we can deal with him severely!"

"Benfica, it seems to be a good look! Then don't be soft when you see him in Madeira Nationals. You may have to accept his father's favor in Maritimo."

"Yeah, Madeira Nationals... Madeira... Young, do you think it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future?"

Yang was taken aback when he heard Pedeno's words. They were just immersed in fantasies about the new team in the future, chatted with great interest, and forgot about the upcoming parting.When this question was suddenly thrown back in front of him, timidity had quietly gained the upper hand, and the atmosphere became very oppressive.

It was Yang who forcibly suppressed the depression in his heart and broke the deadlock first: "Ped, I didn't expect you to be afraid of such a thing, you know, no matter how far apart we are, we will still be good friends.

Your family is in Madeira, and mine is in Lisbon. It seems very far away, and it seems difficult to meet again, but think about it, half of my blood comes from China, which is far away to the other side of the world, but we are now Still friends..."

"So the distance doesn't matter at all, does it! I'll write to you in Madeira, Jan, and maybe call, and if you become a big star in Benfica, don't forget to come and see me!" Pednio understood Jan's words and became excited again.

"Then we made an appointment, and we will see each other when we have the opportunity. I, Jan Rodriguez, and Pedeno have been friends for a lifetime, pull the hook~ hang yourself~ 100 years~ don't change!"

"It's an appointment! I, Pedeno Salvaldo, and Jan are friends for the rest of our lives, pull the hook~ hang yourself~ 100 years~ don't change!"

Crossing their shoulders in the oath, noisier than the birds and magpies in the morning, and blushing with excitement, this is the story of the two boys before they parted.

……

……

"Take care." This is Jose.

"Take care, too." It was Pierre.

"If you pull the hook, you are not allowed to go back!" This is Yang.

"Whoever repents is a puppy!" This is Pedeno.

……

When the time is up, the whistle sounds, the boat leaves, and the people are far away.

Yang didn't let go of his waving arms until he couldn't see anyone on the boat, wiped away the tears he couldn't stop, tugged on Jose's sleeve and said:
"Father, I actually lied to Ped just now. I said I wasn't afraid, but now I'm very scared. I'm afraid that we won't be able to see each other in the future, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to find him anyway."

"Then you have to work hard, or you'll have to become a puppy." Jose laughed out loud after he finished speaking, and it was rare for him to be embarrassed.

……

Pednio lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped his face vigorously, then suddenly squeaked twice, leaned on the railing and shouted, "Dad, I...I want to vomit, I'm seasick..."

"You are the son of a fisherman, you are too sad to get a hammer boat... Come here, there are dried fish in this bag, smell it and you won't faint."

Pierre was speechless looking at his stumbling son, but he shivered with comfort when he stepped onto the boat.

……

Friends, let's go and say goodbye, each cherishes each other.
