Chapter 38: The Trouble Picking Up (Part 1)
Chapter 38: The trouble you picked up (Part 1)
Almost a month has passed since the thrilling play-off semifinals, although Tang En had long come back to his senses from his failure.
But on the night of the game, he dreamed that he was eliminated again and lost even worse - 0:4, and his team had no power to fight back.
The team has ended all the matches of the season, and a declining giant struggling in the second-tier England league has no business matches to play. The team announced the disbandment on the second day of the game, and there will be a long vacation for them to enjoy from players to coaches.
As early as May 11, the English Premier League in the 2002-03 season ended the final round of the competition.
The final ending was indeed as Don En said. Manchester United, who was five points behind Arsenal, started a Jedi counterattack after Christmas, and in the end they led Arsenal by five points to win the championship.
Donn won his gambling with Burns, but he had no intention of asking Burns to cash out because something happened to Gavin.
The bet for a cocktail party at the bar was cancelled, but Burns fulfilled another promise: From now on, Donn will drink all for free in the Forest Bar. After this, Burns almost looked at Donn with the eyes of a gypsy fortune teller.
There are many stories happening here, and the story of David Beckham being disfigured by Ferguson's flying boots was also staged as scheduled, attracting the attention of the whole world for a while.
Everyone believes that the eleven-year master-disciple relationship between Beckham and Ferguson has finally reached a dead end, and his fate with Manchester United has also ended.
But there are many doubts about where he will go next stop. Most people prefer him to go to Real Madrid, because in the previous Champions League matches, Real Madrid and Beckham were in a quarrel.
But Real Madrid Chairman Florentino firmly denied that Real Madrid would buy Beckham...
"There is no story between Real Madrid and David"
Don Eun bought a Times from a street newsstand, skipped the political and financial news, and turned directly to the ninth edition of the sports edition. The first thing that caught his eye was this large title. As soon as the season ended, the media began to excitedly hype the player transfer.
This is the case in the transfer market every year. But this year it has become even more crazy and lively because of the joining of a heavyweight star.
He looked at the news reported in a positive tone and sneered. Judging from the mentality of a veteran, the biggest hot spot in the transfer market this year is simply a farce.
Real Madrid tried hard to clarify: We won’t buy Beckham, how could we buy Beckham? Of course we can’t buy Beckham! We have a good cooperative relationship with Manchester United club, everyone is from G14, how could we do something about poaching!
Then everyone believed it, what was the result?
When Beckham, who once wore the Red Devils' armband to fight for Manchester United.
When holding a white Real Madrid jersey with Florentino, and Real Madrid honorary chairman Di Stefano stood together to take a photo, Manchester United fans all over the world thought they had been deceived. Yes, they had enough reason to complain about all this.
But if they were smart enough, they should have known long ago that the Real Madrid president's promise to "we will never buy so-and-so" needs to be heard the other way around. Think about how Ronaldo came here? It was natural for Beckham to eventually go to Real Madrid.
Tang En probably looked through today's newspapers and found that it was all related to Beckham's transfer rumors. If his team succeeded in upgrading, he would like to see this kind of gossip now.
But the fact is that he is not in the mood to pay attention to the fate of others now.
Roll up the newspaper he had just bought and threw it into the trash can, Tang En decided to walk around and relax.
Originally, Tang En hoped to go to China with Yang Yan. After talking to Yang Yan many times, he realized that Yang Yan did not immigrate. She just came to Nottingham to study and had to go back after graduation. Now her family is in Sichuan. But a sudden infectious disease completely interrupted Tang En's plan.
SARS swept across China in just a few months. Almost no place survived. May was the peak, and by June, Beijing was still a tourist restricted area. Even if Tang En was not afraid of death, he could not go to China.
In May, the worst case of the epidemic, just after leading the team to play the game, Tang En pretended to call home and checked the situation. Everything was fine, which made him feel a little relieved.
But no matter what, he still hopes to see his parents with his own eyes and watch them live healthy. This nearly one month holiday is mainly busy going to China, but he has no choice but to do anything to get a tourist visa to China.
As for the other "Tang En"... Unfortunately, Tang En remembered that he was very unlucky in 2003, and he dropped two mobile phones in less than half a year in the first half of the year.
I don’t know how many times I have changed my phone number, but now I don’t remember what my phone number was four years ago.
I can’t contact you, so I can only pray that the other person will be as safe as the original 2003. As for the two mobile phones that have dropped from the ground, just take it as a loss of money and eliminate disasters...
In fact, in addition to visiting his parents when returning to China, he also had a very important purpose - to get along with Yang Yan alone. Unexpectedly, all plans have been ruined now. After muttering, "I am destined to be together," Tang En took out his cell phone.
I plan to ask Randy to drive himself to the downtown area.
At this moment, he found that a girl stood up next to him at some point.
Judging from his height, he seemed to be around sixteen years old. He was wearing a short red pleated skirt, revealing two pearl-like white and slender legs. The light gray T-shirt also had a cute teddy bear pattern printed on it, looking at himself.
The girl has long hair with dark brown shawls, neatly pressed her bangs on her forehead, and under her thinly curved willow eyebrows were a pair of eyes that were staring wide, clear and transparent, like a pool of spring water.
Moreover, Tang En noticed that the girl's eyes were not blue, gray or amber that is more common among Westerners, but dark brown as her hair.
The girl looked up at him, and he looked down at the girl. The two of them looked at each other on the street.
Tang En couldn't figure out what the girl was staring at him. He was sure there was no breadcrumbs, cream, rice grains on his face, and he was also sure that he had zipped his pants before going out.
He regarded this as a patience against the other party, to see who could be silent until the other party surrendered first.
"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing. Sir, do you know how to get there at 13 Garden Street, Branford..." The girl surrendered first, and she spoke. The crisp voice was also a hint of shyness, very standard London-style English.
It's simply an auditory enjoyment to say it from that pink mouth.
Tang En shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that it's the airport..."
The little girl was startled midway and then raised her hand to block her chest.
"Sir!" the girl pouted, glared and scolded, "I'm going to call the police!"
"Ah? Police..." Tang En turned his head and saw a patrolman wearing a bright yellow vest walking towards him.
Wow, it’s not so unlucky, is it? If he is caught in the bureau for molesting a girl on the street, then he will not be able to pass by quietly this summer.
Tang En really wanted to hide, but the other party seemed to have seen them. He walked straight toward this place.
The girl was very happy that the police uncle could notice what was happening here, so she walked up to her and planned to complain first.
"Mr. Policeman, this person..." She pointed at Tang En, but found that the police did not seem to see her, passed directly by her, and then opened her arms to the man she pointed at.
"Ahh! I really didn't expect to meet you here, Mr. Tang En!" The police greeted Tang En happily, but the girl and Tang En were both stunned.
"I watched the last game. To be honest, our luck was so bad!" Because the girl turned her back to herself, the girl didn't know what the policeman looked like at this time, but she could easily tell from her voice how the patrolman was feeling at this time.
"I'm also sorry for the death of that child...I was not on duty at that time."
Tang En understood - he met a Forest team fan policeman! So he immediately put away his surprised expression, "I'm sorry too. I couldn't make the team successfully upgrade..."
"No, no, that's nothing, sir. I believe that as long as the club gives you another year, you can definitely do it. I really like watching the Forest Team game you coach.
Do you know why? Because we can always win, haha! Don't be discouraged! Next season, we will definitely do next season! Forest forest!" The interesting patrolman finally shouted two fan slogans, then patted Don Eun on the shoulder and left.
There was no sight at all that a pitiful girl was expecting him to save her.
Watching the police fans walk away, Don Eun lowered his head and looked at the shocked girl in the form of a winner, and then showed her the most charming smile: "Little girl, what are you going to ask me just now?"
The girl did not answer Tang En's words obediently. Instead, she cursed in a low voice: "It's a hell!"
"Ahem! It's not good for girls to swear."
"Don't worry!" The girl glared at Tang En angrily.
Tang En looked up and down at the other party, wearing comfortable white travel shoes, dressed in short clothes, and had a black and white Adidas sports bag cross-body on his back. In addition, there was no standard English in Nottingham accent, which looked completely different from a British girl. He already understood that this girl was a foreign tourist.
So he shrugged: "I just wanted to help you, an outsider out of kindness... Well, since you don't care, then I'll leave. Goodbye. Little sister."
He waved his hand and turned around and wanted to leave in a daze.
This time it was the girl's turn to give in. She shouted, "Do you know how to get there at 13 Garden Street, Branford?"
Donn showed a smile on his face that only the winner would have, and then he smiled and turned around: "You are so lucky, I live in Branford Garden Street.
"It is less than fifty meters away from the corner newsstand where Tang En trades newspapers, and only five hundred meters away from that newsstand to where Tang En lives.
The girl stared at Tang En with suspicious eyes. Maybe she felt that this perverted uncle who was staring at someone's breasts didn't look like a good person.
"Why? Don't believe it? I think I'm lying to you?" Don Eun spread his hands and shrugged innocently, "I live in Branford Garden Street Ten..." At this point, he suddenly stopped and looked at the girl opposite in surprise.
“…No. 13…”
