[Football] I want to be with you

Chapter 10

On the second day, Fu Chanwei and Teresa started to prepare the things to be prepared for today's invited guests. There are many things in Chinese food that need to be prepared in advance.

After visiting Chris’s house last night, David’s family went shopping in the central business district of Funchal for a long time. In order to choose the parting gifts for each member of the Aveiro family today and the football Chunxi will buy for Chris, Chunxi personally picked it.It was a beautiful white and gold football, the color Charmwi had described to her.As soon as Chunxi thought of Brother Chris's warm hands, and his hearty and warm laughter like sunlight, he felt that gold really suits Brother Chris.

The wrapping paper was also chosen by Chunxi, a wrapping paper with white feathers floating on a golden background.When her mother described it to Chunxi, Chunxi somehow thought of the movie "Forrest Gump" that her father told her a few days ago, the white feather that fell from the sky at the beginning of the title, and Forrest Gump who kept running, advancing and never giving up .

The clerk carefully wrapped the gift, and then handed it to Chunxi for Chunxi to hold.This is the first gift she gave to Brother Chris. Chunxi is very precious, and she is afraid of any mistakes.David, who was looking at the baby, was jealous.

As soon as they got home, Fu Chanwei and Teresa got busy immediately, with a clear division of labor. Fu Chanwei cooked a few Chinese dishes, and Teresa cooked some Portuguese dishes that she was good at.Portugal's dried fish is very famous, and Teresa made a sintra, which literally means dried fish cabbage, but it is actually a whole plate of cheese like a chicken cake!Inside are fish shreds, carrots and other things. The cheese is baked, and the taste is good, but if you eat too much, you will get tired.People in Portugal eat a lot of beans. If there are no beans in a meal, it is simply not a Portuguese meal.But the places where they put their beans are different. Some put ground beans into the pig's large intestine, and some stew soup with black beans and pork.

And because of the coast, seafood is also very rich.There are really a lot of squid, cod, sailfish and so on.And Portugal is indeed a place that is closely related to grapes. Its Bordeaux wine is very famous, and the Portuguese drink wine very carefully. According to the Portuguese tradition, drink wine before meals and drink it after meals to help digestion Wine is also paired with food during the meal.Drink red wine with meat, white wine with fish, rosé with cold platters and sparkling wine with desserts.

The poor can't afford such etiquette. If you use this etiquette again, it will make people who come to the party feel uncomfortable, so they didn't do it.Instead, it was replaced with Madeira, a well-known local wine in Funchal.

David and Chunxi couldn't help, so they were playing games. David wanted to test Chunxi's sensitivity to sound, so he talked about a piece of piano for Chunxi to listen to a few notes.As a result, Chunxi got all the answers right without exception, and David finally admitted that Chunxi really got some special gifts after the craniotomy.

In fact, David doesn't care what Chunxi wants to do in the future, as long as Chunxi can be happy, carefree and free from harm, he is satisfied.But if his daughter has the talent in this area and misses it without trying to develop it, he thinks it is a crime. The talent given by God should not be wasted in vain.

David hugged Chunxi to the piano bench and asked tentatively, "Ivory, do you like piano or other musical instruments?"

Chunxi touched the piano in front of her, tapped it excitedly and listened to the sound of the piano, and said: "I like it, I like the pipa played by grandma, I also like this one, and the one my grandma played for me yesterday, I also like to sing, Teacher Little Cherry said that I sing very well." Teacher Little Cherry is the teacher of Chunxi Kindergarten.

like singing?also.

"Then are you willing to learn them? Then you can play nice music yourself in the future." David asked cautiously, lest his daughter would be disgusted.

"Okay!" Chunxi agreed very lightly.

"So which one do you most want to learn?" David asked.

"Dad, I want to learn what Brother Chris said first." Chunxi turned her head to David.

David: ...Stinky boy, I knew it was not easy (つД`)ノ

"That dad can teach you. Dad just wants to ask you which musical instrument you want to learn first." David gritted his teeth and let go of the brat who abducted his precious daughter all afternoon. There is no chance of meeting that brat.

"Why can't I learn everything together? It's faster that way..." Chunxi asked innocently.

"It's fast, but I'm afraid you won't be able to learn well enough." David told Chunxi seriously, if you have learned everything but your energy is distracted and you can't learn well, it's no good.In fact, David wants Chunxi to learn the piano first, because he is very good at piano, and he can teach Chunxi a little bit. The father and daughter are sitting together on the piano bench in the piano room with light gauze under the afternoon sun. What a beautiful picture it is to play the piano.

"No, grandma said that I am super smart and can learn everything at once." Xiao Chunxi is very confident in herself.

The author Jun is also very confident in Xiao Chunxi.

David turned his head and thought, yes, let her learn all of them first. If she is particularly interested in one of them, it will be too late to learn more. After all, Chunxi is still young and has a lot of time to confirm your preferences.

While the father and daughter were chatting, the Aveiro family came. David opened the door and invited them in. It was very beneficial for the Aveiro family to rest on the sofa for a while and eat some fruit.As soon as Chris entered the door, he saw Chunxi sitting alone on the piano bench. Today Chunxi was wearing a bright yellow dress, which was very pretty and cute. Chris couldn't control his hands when he saw it.

Chris walked up to Chunxi, and Chunxi turned towards Chris and yelled sweetly: "Brother Chris." The girl's voice was extremely sugary, anyway, Chris trembled when he heard it, and he felt as if he was mixed up. Relax as if soaking in a hot spring.Then Chris was a little surprised: "You can't see it, how do you know it must be me?"

Chunxi didn’t understand, but perhaps the surprise in Chris’s words was too obvious. Chunxi roughly knew what he was surprised at, so she explained it with a few broken Portuguese words she learned from Chris yesterday: "Footsteps, I heard..." Then Chris also understood, listening to his footsteps, he knew he was coming.

Chunxi suddenly remembered something, hurriedly climbed off the piano bench, gropingly took Chris's hand and pulled Chris towards the door.Maybe it was Chunxi who accidentally bumped into Chris's hand when he was groping to hold Chris's hand. I was so excited that I ignored this little episode.

Chunxi picked up a beautifully wrapped small box placed in the corner of the door, held it in front of Chris like offering a treasure, and said excitedly: "Brother Chris, gift." It is still a Portuguese word, but Chris Immediately realized that this was a gift for myself, the whole person fell into a little excitement, oh my god, this is the first time I have received such an official and exquisite gift!

"Is this for me?" Chris murmured in surprise.

Chunxi couldn't understand, just at this time Fu Chanwei came out to serve the dishes and saw the embarrassment of the two children who couldn't understand the language, she smiled gently and said: "Yes, Chris, this is a gift Ivory chose for you, hurry up Open it up and see if you like it."

Chris blushed with joy, and quickly opened the wrapping paper of the gift carefully to see what was inside.As soon as he opened it, Chris almost burst into tears. Dolores also smiled and watched Chris unwrap the gift. Seeing him so excited now, she asked, "What is it? Chris, tell me what it is?"

Chris was very excited to take out this platinum and gold football, which is very expensive and strong at first glance, and said excitedly: "Mom is a football, a new football, and it is of good quality and can be played for a long time." Lorez and Chris's father, Dennis, watched his younger son's face flushed with excitement, scratching his head and not knowing how to vent his joy, and made him laugh. There was also a hint of bitterness in the smile.The family is so poor that they have no money to buy a new football for Chris. Chris has always wanted a hand-stitched football because it is stronger and lasts longer, but hand-stitched footballs are too expensive for them to afford. .Well, Chris finally has a dream hand-stitched football that can support his football dream.

It didn't take long for Chris to be excited, and the dinner party began, and the dishes on the table were very rich and varied.Half of the food is Chinese food made by Chan Wei, and the other half is Western food made by Theresa.This is really unprecedented wealth for the Aveiro family, who are struggling financially and will go hungry once every half a month.The big plate chicken made by Chan Wei with shaved chicken thigh meat, braised cod cubes, beef brisket with tomato, and prawns in braised sauce are all popular with the Aveiro family.

The conditions of the Aveiro family are really poor. As far as Trisha knows, they have to go hungry every 15 days. They can only eat meat on Sundays, and they basically eat butter and bread in the middle of the week. , clear soup, and vegetables are enough.The family does have chicken once in a while, it's almost like a house party, but even then the chicken they eat is out of date.

Under such difficult conditions, Dolores is still warm and helpful to others and works hard to maintain the livelihood of the big family. Chris is still working hard to play football and not give up his dream.Such persistence and perseverance are admirable.

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal. The fresh and rich ingredients, the rich meat, and the perfect cooking made them feel like they were celebrating Christmas.After the meal, the sad topic finally came up. Tereza was leaving, and she was going to Huaguo with her son and daughter-in-law.

Dolores couldn't help being a little sad, Tereza is really a good friend, although she seems careless as if she doesn't care about anything, but in fact Tereza's help to their family, she knows everything, I just silently thanked her for her generosity and love without saying a word.It is sad that such a dear friend is leaving and may not be seen again in the future.

Trisha took out the gifts prepared for the Aveiro family and sent them out one by one, including clothes and shoes, as well as some Chinese specialties that Chan Wei brought back at the beginning.

Chris silently stroked the football in his hand, and a feeling of reluctance began to quietly brew in his heart. If Teresa left, and Uncle David and Aunt Grace also left, then Ivory must also leave. He... ... reluctant.

This Ivory is as bright and warm as an angel, this Ivory is as pure as ivory, and this Ivory is as sweet as sugar.The more he thought about Chris, the more he couldn't bear it. The more he thought about the separation a few days later, Chris wanted to cry so much, and then he really cried and raised his head and asked Charm Wei: "Aunt Grace, can Ivory stay?"
