82 Homecoming
82 Go home and wander
"Haha, bye, I wish you a little more fun in China!"
In the waiting hall of Beijing Capital Airport, Yang Cheng smiled and said goodbye to the group of German tourists in front of him.
"I also wish you to lead Kaiserslautern to have a wonderful journey in the Bundesliga, Yang!" German tourists also respect Yang Cheng very much, especially Yang Cheng helped them do temporary translation for more than half an hour just now.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly. After all the tourists left, he began to pack his luggage. Behind him were the ground crew at the airport, all of whom were envious and grateful, because if Yang Cheng had not rescued the situation just now, they would have been embarrassed.
"Who is he? He seems very famous, all those Germans know him!"
"Is he Chinese? Don't they say that Germans are xenophobic? Why do they respect him so much?"
"He is handsome, young and talented, and fluent in foreign languages. He is simply the ideal prince charming!"
Yang Cheng naturally didn't know that the female ground staff were whispering to him. After packing his luggage, he suddenly didn't know which direction to go, so he decided to go over and ask.
"Uh... May I ask, I want to turn south..." Yang Cheng was afraid that the other party would put on airs, so he spoke with a little apology for trouble.
But before the other party finished listening, he nodded immediately and said, "Oh, turn around, I'll take you there!"
Yang Cheng was stunned at this moment. He thought he had accidentally encountered a scalper outside the Spring Festival station.
However, this female ground staff member was very enthusiastic. She quickly completed all the procedures with Yang Cheng, and then left reluctantly, leaving Yang Cheng behind, unable to understand no matter how she thought about it, "What's going on?"
Finally, he felt that he must have done something good just now and the other party would repay him!
There were 30 minutes before the transfer, and Yang Cheng made a long-distance phone call outside the airport.
He also has a mobile phone in his hand, which is the latest European style, but it is not available in China, so he can only call on the public phone.
Although the clubs are on holiday, Werner Melce is not so lucky. He just took office as vice chairman and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do, including several transfers assigned by Yang Cheng.
One thing is Pavel Kuka. The 29-year-old Czech center was almost the best scorer in the Bundesliga and was also the main striker of the Czech national team. However, after Yang Cheng took office, he trusted Marshall more and promoted Van Nice, which gave Pavel Kuka few opportunities, but he still scored 8 goals in the Bundesliga.
Nowadays, many Bundesliga teams are very optimistic about Pavel Kuka, among which the Bundesliga promoted Nuremberg and Bundesliga powerhouse Stuttgart are the most enthusiastic, especially the former. Although they are the Bundesliga promoted this season, they are determined to advance to the Bundesliga, so they are squandering their troops to buy horses.
But anyone can see that it is difficult for such a team to attract first-tier stars, so they can only specialize in the talented but in a bad situation. Therefore, they are attracted by the Czech striker Pavel Kuka, who is not favored by Yang Cheng in this season's Bundesliga champion Kaiserslautern.
Yang Cheng learned from the transfer evaluation in the super coach assistance system that Nuremberg can offer a maximum offer of 1.5 million US dollars for Pavel Kuka, while Stuttgart is only willing to offer 1 million US dollars because the latter is to buy a substitute, so the bid is naturally impossible to be high.
As for introducing players, Yang Cheng already has a clear goal. He had already formulated a transfer list for Werner Mercedes to operate before leaving Germany. He even set a transfer limit for each player, indicating that Mercedes must not exceed this limit, so as not to be a sucker.
"I have arrived in Beijing. You notify Ye Wen, the reporter of Capital TV whom I made an appointment before, and said I would rush south and take time to ask him to do an exclusive interview another day!" Yang Cheng said the purpose of making the phone call.
Ye Wen is a well-known reporter of the largest media in China, the capital TV station. Previously, Yang Cheng coached Kaiserslautern to win the Winners Cup in Germany, which was rumored abroad, and some rumors were heard in China.
Chinese students are famous for German football. Such examples are unprecedented in China. Today's national football team does not even have overseas players, let alone coaching overseas and achieving brilliant achievements. So Capital TV decided to create a program that specifically introduces Yang Cheng and appointed Ye Wen to conduct an exclusive interview.
But Yang Cheng is anxious to go home now, so he can only put it aside for the time being!
Merce naturally agreed. After all, this was not a big deal for Kaiserslautern and Yang Cheng. It was just a matter that could be solved by just a phone call, so he didn't care, but asked about other things, such as Yang Cheng's previous proposal to improve some hardware facilities in the club's training ground, etc.
Today, Yang Cheng is already a veritable top athlete in Kaiserslautern. The club's big and small things are all related to competition, and they are operated through his hands, naturally including the training ground and the stadium.
There was a queue behind the public phone. When they heard Yang Cheng talking in fluent German, they could only worry behind them. Fortunately, the people in the capital were more qualified, so no one would protest.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng waved apologetically at the waiting people behind him, then quickly returned to the airport and took the plane south to Xiamen.
From Xiamen to Jinjiang, you can only take the national highway bus on the entire section. As for the Fuxia Expressway, which later claimed to have opened up the two meridians of the Haixi Ren and Du, is still under intense construction.
The road conditions on the national highway are very bad. Along the way, you can see trucks carrying bulk goods to Xiamen Railway Station and port for consignment, which makes the traffic conditions on the entire national highway very unsatisfactory, with bumpy pits and repairs, but they are useless.
Yang Cheng hasn't taken the domestic shuttle bus for a long time. Although the road is bumpy, he feels a different sense of familiarity. His heart is filled with expectations and uneasiness about returning home, and his thoughts have already flown to that distant mountain village.
The shuttle bus can only reach the county road intersection, and there is about 3 kilometers of mountain road from here to Yang Cheng's hometown.
After getting off the bus, I stood at the intersection and looked at the broken stone road that had been walking far away, and I could only see the dense forest. If his memory was correct, it would be a big development here in a few years.
"At that time, everyone will put down their hoes and start to enter the factory!" Yang Cheng took a step with a wry smile.
In 1997, his previous life, Yang Cheng had to walk back and forth on this road every week because he was going to middle school, but this time he felt very different. In 1997, he is now a 25-year-old young man.
Parents at home... are they okay?
Yang Cheng wanted to put on his wings and fly home.
The scenery along the way is very familiar. After all, he has walked for many years, and every grass and tree is engraved in his mind.
When you arrive at the entrance of the village, you can see a brick factory on each side of the road, and two high-mounted chimneys are emitting smoke. Now Jinjiang is not in any way pollution. If you pay attention to it in a few years, the brick factory will go bankrupt.
"Hey, young man, who are you looking for?" Seeing Yang Cheng staring blankly at the door of the brick factory on the left, Uncle Sha, the contractor of the brick factory, happened to come out. Although the ownership of the brick factory belongs to the village, he contracted it for many years. After the development, he even bought the brick factory with a bargain.
"I'll look for my mother!" Uncle Sha is a good person, and Yang Cheng has a good impression of him.
"Your mother?" Uncle Sha turned around and looked at the brick kiln behind him, and looked carefully at Yang Cheng, who was wearing a straight casual outfit. Although he couldn't tell what brand it was, his intuition told him that it was a famous brand because he saw that everyone in the city was dressed like this.
"Who is your mother?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said his name.
"Are you the son of a good sister?" Uncle Sha was shocked and looked disbelief, "You are really her son? Didn't you come back when you went abroad?"
As he said that, Uncle Sha wanted to walk up and pat Yang Cheng on the shoulder like he did when he was a child, but he found that his hands were dirty, but Yang Cheng's clothes were very clean, so he could only reach halfway and retreated embarrassedly.
Yang Cheng immediately smiled and reached out his hand, holding Uncle Sha's hand tightly, "Aren't I back?"
Uncle Sha smiled awkwardly. Many people in the village said that the son of a good sister ran abroad without telling her parents. As a result, he went there for 6 years. Everyone said that he was in a down-and-out abroad and had no face to come back. Otherwise, why would he leave his parents alone?
Uncle Sha wanted to ask about Yang Cheng's situation, but he was urging him to run outside the brick kiln and called out a few good sisters to the kiln. Not long after, he saw Yang's mother walking out of the kiln with a brick-shaped face. From a distance, she saw Uncle Sha pointing at Yang Cheng and saying something to her. Then Yang's mother ran over in three steps and two steps.
"Acheng?" Yang's mother couldn't help crying when she saw Yang Cheng. Then when she saw the handsome young man in front of her, she was a little doubtful. She knew whether the one in front of her was the son who knew how to study, and she would only be fascinated by the game called football!
"Mom!" Yang Cheng recognized his mother at a glance. When he was in college in his previous life, his mother was at this age, but she worked in a factory at that time. Now that times have changed, she works in Uncle Sha’s brick factory.
Yang Cheng hugged his mother all of a sudden, and tears could no longer be held back, "Mom, I'm back!"
"Acheng, you are finally back!" Mother cried bitterly.
The mother and son met again after a long separation. Even the workers from the brick factory behind him burst into tears when they met.
They are all from the villagers. Everyone knows that the good brother-in-law and his wife are only Yang Cheng, but when they were in college, they suddenly went abroad for some reason. They never returned, and they only called or two occasionally. Now they are happy to see that the mother and son reunited.
"By the way, don't touch me, I'm dirty, don't mess up your clothes!" The mother suddenly thought of something, broke free from her son, and patted him hard, for fear of dirtying her clothes.
"It's okay, mom, buy it if it gets dirty!" Yang Cheng felt ache in his heart and quickly grabbed his mother's hand.
"Let's go, mom, let's go home!" After that, he took his mother's hand and was about to leave.
But my mother didn't follow me, "You go back first, your dad is at home, you go and talk to him, I..." My mother looked at the brick kiln behind her. Needless to say, she must be worried about being at work.
Yang Cheng walked back and held his mother hard, grabbed her hand, feeling it was very rough, it was all done by working, and tears almost burst into tears, "Stop doing it, mom, you and dad don't have to do anything in the future!"
"Where do you get money if you don't do anything? The house at home is old and needs to be repaired. You are 25 years old this year. It's time to find you a wife, and..."
"Mom!" Yang Cheng interrupted his mother, "I have made money, you don't have to do anything anymore!"
When Yang's mother heard this, she was filled with surprise, but she quickly shook her head and said, "It's still not possible. You should save it for your wife if you make some money!"
Seeing her mother like this, Yang Cheng immediately had no choice but to do anything to her and directly found Uncle Sha, the owner of the brick factory not far away. "Sorry, Uncle Sha, from tomorrow, my mother will not come to work again!"
Uncle Sha was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised, but soon understood, "Yang Cheng, are you... you developed?"
Yang Cheng smiled unquestionably and turned to his mother.
"Hey, good sister, your salary this month..." Uncle Sha shouted.
Yang Cheng waved his hand, "No need, Uncle Sha, take out my mother's wages, buy some things, and invite the uncles and aunts in the factory to eat!" Then the two mother and son left the brick factory.
Entering the village from the brick factory, I soon arrived at a single-story stone house, which was Yang Cheng's home.
Yang Cheng's father drove a tractor to deliver goods. He usually went out early and came back late, but today he was rarely at home. Yang Cheng originally found it strange, but when he saw his father, he immediately understood.
"Dad, what's wrong with your hand?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Yang's father shook his head, "It's okay, I was kidnapped by the handle of the crane when loading the goods. Fortunately, my tendons were not broken!"
After being cared for by his son who had been away from home for many years, Yang's father was filled with tears in his eyes and almost cried in front of his son.
Yang Cheng also blinked his eyes hard and tried his best not to cry. After a while, he nodded and said, "Then... I will accompany you to Xiamen for a check tomorrow. It's not okay to bandage it with herbs like this. The big hospital there is more formal, so it's better to check it clearly!"
Yang's father laughed and shook his head and said, "Don't bother. A little bit of injury will not be killed. Besides, I don't know how much it will cost to go to Xiamen!"
"Money doesn't matter!"
"I know, you young people are a little more generous in everything, but it really doesn't need to!" Yang's father smiled and declined Yang Cheng's kindness. He was still not very relieved of his son. After all, he had been out alone and had not come back for so many years. He also believed what others said. He probably his son was in a down-and-out place outside.
"Acheng, this time you can come back, your mother and I will be relieved. Nothing else matters, it doesn't matter. As long as our family is safe and sound, it doesn't matter whether you have money or not!"
Yang's mother, who was just busy preparing supper in the kitchen, also walked out and nodded, "Yes, Acheng, your dad is right. Don't leave when you come back this time. I will go to your second uncle's house tonight and call your second uncle, inform him that you are back, and ask him to help you with a job, and stay here to do things!"
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, "By the way, mom, you tell me by the way that I will take my dad to the city to check his hands tomorrow!"
Since you don’t go to Xiamen, then go to the city to have a more assured stay.
Seeing that his son was stubborn, his good brother-in-law and his wife were just right.
That night, when they heard that Yang Cheng came back, everyone in the village suddenly surrounded their house, and they all wanted to see what the first college student in the village and the first person who went abroad brought back from abroad.
What was disappointing was that Yang Cheng was empty-handed, especially after he got home, he took a shower and changed into his previous clothes. Apart from the handsome face, there was no valuable thing on his body.
"My aunt is in Hong Kong. Every time she comes back, she brings a lot of things. Once she brings me a TV. But look, Yang Cheng doesn't bring anything back and dresses like this. How come he looks like a developed person?"
"That's right, 80% of them are so down-and-out outside that they are coming back to the village to show off their wealth!"
"His clothes are probably ragged that others think are old and thrown away. The last time I went to Xiamen, I saw a rich man wearing this brand. People said that one set costs one or two thousand yuan, and they can't even rub it with their hands when washing it. But look, the good sister rubs it hard with her hands. Yang Cheng didn't feel sorry for her at all. It was picked up for no money!"
The villagers like to worry about it all. In the past two years of Yang Cheng's life in Germany, except for a few friends, he rarely saw such lively scenes. Now when he returned home, he finally saw it once, and he felt funny, but he had no idea of getting angry.
The realm is different! Right?
However, Yang Cheng's failure to argue was a kind of accusation in the village and his parents' eyes. However, Yang Cheng's parents were a little better. As long as Yang Cheng came back, nothing mattered.
The villagers went to bed early and made trouble for about three hours. At around 9 o'clock in the evening, everyone went home to sleep. Yang Cheng accompanied his father to chat in front of the yard at home. Later, his mother, who had finished washing dishes, clothes and housework, also joined in.
Perhaps they were afraid that Yang Cheng would be embarrassed, so they refused to mention making money, but talked about the changes in the village over the past few years, such as someone who married his wife, someone who built a house, etc.
Yang Cheng was not interested in these things. He was thinking that he would definitely find an opportunity to ask when he went to the city tomorrow to see what procedures needed to be handled by taking his parents to Germany.
However, he was also a little worried. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place. His parents didn’t even speak German, and they didn’t even speak Chinese. How should they live there after going there? Moreover, they both lived in their hometowns all their lives and left their hometowns, so I’m afraid they didn’t like it!
