Chapter 033 The Uncle’s Family in Lisbon
After Li Zhao and the others explained their purpose, Figo also started to think seriously. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I've heard about your story, but I can't explain it right now.
And I also need to organize my thoughts based on your actual situation. Since I'm here today, I will go to your uncle's house with you. It just so happens that I haven't tasted his cooking for a long time, and your cousin-in-law has already taken the lead.
It’s over.”
"Is Cousin Helen here too? That's great. The egg tarts she makes are the most authentic!" Li Zhao said.
The uncle's new home is a large villa, one kilometer away from the meeting place, so the three of them chose to walk so that they could chat while walking. It was already dinner time, and they had not yet approached the house.
The aroma of food wafted into the room, making people salivate.
My uncle's original home was in a vineyard near the inland area. Just last year, he built a new house in this coastal area. From a distance, you can see the large four-story townhouse surrounded by vegetation.
.
Li Zhao made an estimate. Guaiguai, the total area must be 500 square meters. He still had this idea. Although he had not gone to school for a day, after all, he was majoring in the Department of Architecture. He usually did this
I have also read many books on the subject.
The school problem is also another big problem that he has to solve in addition to his career. In the current situation, transferring to another school has become an inevitable result.
Speaking of which, Li Zhao hasn't been here for 4 years. Compared with the rapid changes in the country, there haven't been many changes here. However, his wine business is doing very well and is now well-known. In addition to
In addition to being very popular in the European and American markets, some products are also sold to country C. Recently, they have become one of the suppliers of the neighboring Spanish royal family.
The uncle’s three children are the eldest son Li Naxin, daughter Li Namei and the youngest son Leonard. There is a big age difference between the three of them.
My cousin Li Naxin’s English name is Michael Li. He is 25 years old this year and helps his father run the wine estate. In addition, he is also a game enthusiast and has opened his own game company. I heard that
It's running pretty well.
Cousin Li Namei’s English name is Maggie Li. She is 23 years old this year and is quite talented in music. She once performed on the Vienna stage with the Portuguese National Song and Dance Ensemble. After graduation, she worked as a music teacher at the University of Lisbon, and also
After having a certain amount of capital, I also opened my own music store.
As for my little cousin Leonard, it goes without saying, but because he is only one month younger than Li Zhao, he is not very convinced of Li Zhao. Especially after getting the true biography of Figo, he is bound to compete with him in the field of football.
Of course, this does not affect the relationship between the two.
Li Zhao's uncle Li Changsheng also had an English name, Johnson Li. At first he didn't pay attention, but later when locals called him by his name, Changsheng often called Changsheng Johnson, so he also took this as his English name.
.
"Johnson, look who I brought here!" Figo was still some distance away and started to greet him at the top of his voice.
A man in his forties who was grilling something at the door happened to raise his head. When he saw Li Zhao, he became a little uneasy and said excitedly: "Xiao Zhao, you are here, where are your parents?
"
This middle-aged man, Li Changsheng, has a few more gray hairs than in previous years, and time has also left some traces on his face.
"Uncle, I didn't take the same plane as my parents, so I came early. They probably won't be here until tomorrow night." Li Zhao explained. Unexpectedly, his parents forgot to tell his uncle and the others about this.
I didn't think of saying hello in advance, so I felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. Now that I'm here, can I miss a bite of you? Hey, who is this?" Li Changsheng said, but looked curiously at Li Ruolan beside him.
"I~, I'm his friend." Li Ruolan said a little unnaturally.
"Friend? It can't be a girlfriend, right?" Li Changsheng felt something different.
Li Ruolan originally wanted to explain something, but then she saw Li Zhao holding her hand and said firmly: "Yes, she is indeed my girlfriend! Her name is Luo Lanzimu."
"You~" Li Ruolan was a little surprised that Li Zhao would say it so directly, but then she felt a sweetness in her heart, her cheeks were a little scarlet, and she looked away embarrassedly.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be true. I was just joking, but I didn't expect you guys to admit it like this. But Xiaozhao, you are really awesome. It's your blessing that such a beautiful girl is willing to follow you!
In this regard, you are much better than my younger brother. When he was your age, he was nothing, let alone a girlfriend. But from the name, could it be that she is a Hui girl?" Li Changsheng asked with a smile.
road.
"Uh, yes! Uncle, what you are grilling must be cod!" When Li Changsheng said this, Mr. Li Zhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but he could only admit it and quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, in addition to the cod, there are also some sardines, which are also grilled and eaten together. By the way, your Aunt Mina also stewed a pot of paella in the kitchen, and of course there is your favorite egg tart, which is your favorite.
My sister-in-law is the best." Li Changsheng said.
There are 1,001 ways to prepare cod, and it is also the favorite of the Portuguese. Their tradition of eating cod began in the golden age of navigation. Sardines are their second favorite, and they are not particularly fond of small sardines. Grilled sardines are the most popular in Portugal
The most common and most frequently eaten dish, it is also the most economical one.
Li Zhao tasted both flavors of fish, and then gave some to Li Ruolan to taste, and she was full of praise for it.
"By the way, uncle, can you make Chinese food here?" Li Zhao suddenly asked.
"Why, you think I won't be able to cook Chinese food after staying here for a long time? Then you are wrong. Not to mention me now, even your aunt and your cousin can do it. They are all taught by me.
." Li Changsheng said proudly.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that there will be a lot of people coming here tomorrow night. Some of them may not be used to eating foreign food, and I don't know if you can arrange it here." Li Zhao said.
"You don't have to worry about food, and accommodation isn't a big problem. I know there are a lot of people coming this time, including your grandpa, a rare guest. We can make arrangements for the room, and squeeze it in
If so, we can still make up seven or eight rooms." Li Changsheng said.
"Awesome, I thought I would have to at least use the room at your winery, but I didn't expect you could do it all here." Li Zhao exclaimed.
"Of course, otherwise why would you call it a big villa?" Li Changsheng said proudly.
"Hey, Changsheng. Are you okay yet? I'm already fine here, and the children are waiting for you! Uh, Xiao Zhao~" At this time, a Portuguese housewife in her 40s pushed the door open, but at that moment
She was also a little surprised when she saw Li Zhao and the others.
"Hi, auntie!" Li Zhao greeted hurriedly. The middle-aged woman in front of him was his Aunt Mina.
"Hello. I knew that Louis would come over, but I didn't expect that he would bring you too. Hey, who is this girl?" Mina was just like Li Changsheng just now, she was very surprised after seeing Li Ruolan.
"This is my girlfriend!" Li Zhao didn't hesitate at all this time, and Li Ruolan's behavior was much more natural.
"That's great. I'm a girl from Tingjun. I'm so envious. I always thought that you people from country C would be late in this regard, but I didn't expect that today it surprised me. Don't stay outside, come in quickly.
"Xiao Zhao, Michael and Maggie are in the house, you can go in and play with them for a while. Ronaldo will arrive later. He has also been selected for the national youth team, so he sometimes practices a little late."
Na greeted warmly.
So under Mina's arrangement, Li Zhao and the other two entered the room together, while Li Changsheng had to wait a little longer before entering.
"Hey, Michael! Maggie! Look who's here." After entering the house, Mina loudly called her two children.
"What a sign. You came just in time. I made a new game. Come and play with me. I remember when you were a child, you would make a noise whenever you came to our house." Li Naxin poked his head out of the room and said.
.
"Ah, Xiaozhao, don't listen to him. You only play games or do your own so-called designs all day long. Come here, sister, you loved listening to me singing when you were a child. I just released a new album recently, help me
Please refer to the details." Li Namei also came out of her room.
"You're not much better. Don't think that I don't know. There's no one in the company now, so you can only do it by yourself. You'd better come to me!" Li Naxin retorted.
"Come to me!" Li Namei said without giving in.
This also made Li Zhao quite helpless. He really had no choice about these two living brothers and sisters.
"Can't you two just stop talking? You're so old and you can't let me worry about it anymore. Look at Xiao Zhao, you already have a girlfriend." Mina came to the rescue.
"It's true!" The two of them discovered Li Ruolan next to Li Zhao, and then their faces became excited.
"That's great. This solves the problem." Li Namei said and reached out to pull Li Ruolan, while Li Naxin pulled Li Zhao.
Li Ruolan looked at Li Zhao in a panic and asked for support.
"That's enough for you two. It's dinner time now. If you have anything else to do, please wait until after dinner." Mina couldn't stand it anymore and said, and then the two of them stopped.
At this time, Cousin Helen's egg tarts were finally finished, so everyone sat down to eat dinner together.
Not long after, Leonard also came back. He was a little surprised to see Li Zhaozai, but he didn't show too much surprise, but sat down to eat calmly.
"Ronaldo, it would be great if you were here. Are you free tomorrow?" Figo suddenly said at this time.
"What's wrong, Uncle, are you trying to test whether I have made any progress recently? Don't worry, I have never missed my homework. I am the training madman on the team." Speaking of this, Leonard was also quite interested.
Be proud of.
"Well, that's true. I will say hello to your coach. But this time you are no longer alone, but Xiaozhao is included. Starting tomorrow, you two will receive my half-month assault training together.
.How is it?" Figo said and looked at the two of them.
"I have no objection!" Li Zhao took the lead in expressing his stance after looking at his cousin.
"What about you?" Figo looked at Leonard who didn't express his position again.
"With him~" Leonard looked at Figo's slightly displeased eyes and said softly: "Okay, I have no objection."
"That's good. Xiaozhao, I know about your situation in general. I have to go back and think about your future, but I can help you contact him as soon as possible about the school." Figo said.
"Thank you very much, cousin." Li Zhao expressed his sincere gratitude for Figo's help.
"Okay, no more need to say these polite words, I prefer to let my results speak for myself," Figo said.
After dinner, Figo went back with his cousin Helen, while Li Zhao and Li Ruolan were pulled to their respective rooms by his brothers and sisters.
I have to say that Li Namei's singing voice is quite good, and Li Ruolan also praised it. Then, at Li Namei's request, Li Ruolan also tried to sing a few songs. Not to mention, she also sang very well.
The song "My Motherland and Me" was sung with the feeling of a star, and it also attracted Li Zhao from the next room, and his eyes were full of heart when he looked at Li Ruolan.
Later, when I returned to Li Naxin's room, I found that Leonard was also here.
"Brother Xiaozhao, how about we have a live football match!" Leonard challenged.
"Okay!" Li Zhao did not refuse.
So the two started a game, and after a battle, they ended up in a tie.
"Oh, I don't usually play this kind of thing, and it's still a bit difficult to control it!" Li Zhao said.
"I'm about the same. Forget it, this is just a game after all. If you want to compete, just do it for real. Then you will see the real results in the competition!" Leonard raised a new challenge.
Chapter completed!
