Chapter 173 Hongmen Banquet
Media reports did not affect Dong Fangzhuo's mood. He did not feel that he had snatched Rooney's position. Based on his understanding of Rooney, Rooney could go to the wing, which just happened to be able to exercise his ability as a winger, but he just didn't know what Rooney would think.
Since Rooney helped him stand up and was in front of Drogba, the two of them had a lot of communication, but they were still not in-depth enough. It seems that they would still talk to that guy in the future, but he doesn't want Rooney to hate him. Manchester United should be a united group and there is no need to intrigue. They were very tired in their previous life, and they wanted to live a relaxed life in this life.
But today he didn't go to the training ground and gave himself a day off.
Because today is New Year's Eve.
It was the first time I was celebrating the Chinese New Year abroad, and this feeling was awful.
I am eager to think about my family.
I miss my mother, Zhu Ting, and a lot of former teammates from Dalian.
In the past, even if I couldn’t go home for the New Year, Zhu Ting, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri and others could have had a happy New Year’s Eve dinner in the room.
But now, he can only stay at his home in Manchester alone.
He just called Dong's mother for more than half an hour, and basically listened to his mother's words. Dong's mother told him to eat dumplings, and they had to be dumplings with mutton stuffing. He didn't understand why he had to eat mutton stuffing. Could it be that beef stuffing, cabbage stuffing and leek stuffing are not good?
His mother said that eating mutton stuffing means making money...
Although Dong Fangzhuo did not believe this, he still did not disobey his mother's advice.
Today, he didn't want to stay at home, so he drove out and decided to find a place with a lot of Chinese people to have dinner. Only in places with a lot of Chinese people can he feel like the New Year.
New Year’s Eve is just a New Year’s Eve for Chinese people, not a New Year’s Eve for foreigners, so there is no New Year’s Eve on the streets.
But what’s funny is that Dong Fangzhuo has been in Manchester for so long, but he has not been shopping alone. Except for going out to cut his hair a few times, he usually goes to the nearby supermarket to buy daily necessities and some breakfast and dinner ingredients.
Of course he knew that Manchester's Chinatown was there, so he drove directly to Manchester Chinatown.
Manchester Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the UK and the most concentrated Chinese community in northern England. Chinatown is surrounded by Charlotte Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street and Mosley Street. It is full of Chinese restaurants, including Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine, hot pot, etc., as well as Chinese supermarkets. Chinese products that are not easy to buy abroad can be found here.
As soon as he found a place to put the car in, his cell phone rang. When Dong Fangzhuo saw that it was Sun Jihai who called.
"Xiao Dong, where are you?"
"Brother Hai, I'm in Chinatown."
"Come here for my house to have the New Year's Eve dinner together, why are you wandering around?"
"How embarrassed I'm so sorry to bother you to have a reunion dinner."
"What's wrong with me? You have to come over because you want to have a reunion dinner. Hurry up and prepare for dinner." Then, Sun Jihai lowered his voice.
"I tell you, your sister-in-law wants to introduce you to a girl. It's pretty, it seems to be an art... It's beautiful, you will definitely like it. Your mother also told me and your sister-in-law to help you find a partner..."
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Dong Fangzhuo was a little amused. According to Sun Jihai's words, it seemed like this was a Hongmen banquet?
However, since Sun Jihai spoke, he couldn't refuse Sun Jihai's invitation, so he could only go to his house with a tough bullet.
When the Manchester Derby is coming again, he didn't expect that he will have an intersection with Sun Jihai again.
As for the girl, he was not curious or interested at all. Unlike his previous life, he couldn't help but think about it even if he was lying in bed...
However, when he arrived at Sun Jihai's house, when he first saw the "girl" mentioned on the phone, he still flashed his eyes, but it only flashed away.
I thought I was talking about whom.
It turned out to be her...
I can't say I like it, but it's really pleasing to the eye. After returning from rebirth, he no longer has the curiosity and impulse towards women.
If he put aside his rebirth thoughts, the girl in front of him with an elegant temperament, beautiful face and tall figure is like a light and fragrant jasmine flower.
Her facial features are very delicate, and even the plain face cannot cover up her good taste. She is not ostentatious, not artificial, not whitewashed, sincere and elegant, "from inside" but not "outside" full of classical temperament...
"Cough cough, Xiao Dong." Sun Jihai coughed twice, thinking that this little guy was indeed the object of his place. When he saw the woman, his eyes were lit.
"Uh." Dong Fangzhuo nodded, not as silly as Sun Jihai thought, and soon turned his attention to another person in the living room.
"Hello Brother Peng."
"Ha, Xiao Dong, you actually know me."
"You are joking. I grew up watching you play football."
34-year-old Peng Weiguo smiled happily and looked at Sun Jihai: "Xiao Sun, look, I am still a football star in China, and Xiao Dong actually knows me."
"Brother Peng, you are not a football star, who is..."
Yes, the Peng Weiguo that Dong Fangzhuo met was former Chinese international Peng Weiguo.
In the 1990s, Peng Weiguo was a representative figure in Guangzhou football and even Chinese football. Whether in clubs or national teams, Peng Weiguo was the core of the team's midfield. He had beautiful footwork, broad vision, sometimes fatal passes, sometimes straightforward, and was called a textbook figure in Southern Football.
However, because of the Six Gentlemen Incident, his reputation was almost ruined and he was only 30 years old when he retired. Dong Fangzhuo did not expect to meet Peng Weiguo at Sun Jihai's home. In the 1990s, it was the time when football in the north and south were prevalent, and he "knowed" Peng Weiguo at that time.
As for the girl around Peng Weiguo, her name is Dai Feifei.
Known as the No. 1 Beauty of a former Chinese artistic gymnast...
The reason why Dong Fangzhuo recognized him was because he had watched TV series filmed by Dai Feifei in his previous life.
Three big men were crowded together, and the topic was immediately occupied by football, especially the upcoming Manchester City Derby. Tao Feifei was left aside and could only chat with Sun Jihai's wife...
"Last time, Xiaosun, you were beaten by Xiao Dong. This time I think you will still be beaten by Xiao Dong. There is no need to guess this game, Manchester United must win."
Peng Weiguo is a real Manchester United fan. He has watched the Premier League matches of HK Sports Chinese since he was a child and will only support Manchester United.
"The last time was not my problem, it was because Dunn and the others were too careless, and I couldn't climb anyway at the last moment, so Giggs seized the opportunity." Sun Jihai obviously had a deep memory of the last Manchester City Derby.
"If I come to assist in the defense of Xiao Dong this time, I will definitely not let Xiao Dong score. You know, we just tied Chelsea in the last round!"
"Manchester United still has to thank us because we helped them temporarily hold off Manchester City two points!"
"I said Sun Jihai, have you forgotten what day it was today?" Sun Jihai's wife finally interrupted...
