January 21 is the make-up match between Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid in the first round of La Liga. It was postponed until now due to the strike of the players union at the beginning of the season.
And January 22nd is the 29th New Year’s Eve of the twelfth lunar month, so there is no thirty this year.
After Qiao Binyi discussed it with Xiao Wenxiu, Qiao Huamei, Cao Guanhong, Qiao Anchen, and other relatives and elders, Qiao Binyi and Xiao Wenxiu burned paper at home to worship their ancestors on January 18th.
On January 19th, I took the opportunity to come to Spain with Qiao Anchen’s cousin Cao Junhao.
They wanted to watch Qiao Anchen's game live on January 21, and then spend New Year's Eve and Spring Festival together.
In the evening, Qiao Anchen picked him up at the airport with his aunt and uncle. Although he was wearing a mask, he was still recognized by fans and asked for autographs and photos.
Fortunately, there were not many people at night, and Qiao Anchen had not yet reached the level of a superstar, so it did not cause crowding.
When Qiao Minyi, Xiao Wenxiu, and Cao Junhao each carried a bag and dragged two suitcases along with the crowd, Qiao Anchen felt very excited and immediately waved and shouted: "Dad! Mom! Here!"
They had not seen their son for more than half a year. Qiao Minyi and Xiao Wenxiu were also very happy. After walking nearby and saying hello to Qiao Huamei and Cao Guanhong, Qiao Anchen unexpectedly rushed forward and hugged their father who was caught off guard.
Go hug your mother.
Qiao Anchen was used to hugging and celebrating goals with his teammates during games and brought it into his life, but Qiao Minyi and Xiao Wenxiu were not used to it yet, so they felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he is his son after all. Xiao Wenxiu finally patted Qiao Anchen on the back and said: "Okay, okay, he is so old and he is not ashamed. From now on, we can live together and see each other every day."
After Qiao Anchen hugged his mother for a while, he felt that it was different from celebrating a goal with his teammates, so he let go of his mother.
At this time, my cousin Cao Junhao excitedly interjected: "Cousin, have you taken the elixir in the past six months? You are so awesome that domestic fans now regard you as the number one star. Many classmates in our class admire you and even let you
I’ll bring them some autographed photos back!”
Looking at this cousin who didn't like him before, but now he was so flattering, and thinking about how kind his aunt and uncle were to him, Qiao Anchen's grudge disappeared and he said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take a photo then and wash it."
Come out with dozens of them, sign them, and you can take them back to school after the Spring Festival."
Cao Junhao immediately cheered: "That's great, thank you cousin. When I go back next year, I will be the most handsome boy in the whole class, even the whole school!"
Cao Guanhong said politely: "Qiao Anchen, don't spoil him. What do a group of primary school students know about football? They are just following the trend and making noise."
Cao Junhao curled his lips and said: "Dad, don't underestimate us. We are about to enter junior high school. There is also a school team, and there are quite a few people who like to play football. After my cousin became famous, he is now paying attention. There are even more students who like to play football.
too much."
Qiao Anchen waved his hand and said: "Uncle, it's okay. It's not like I'm signing it now. I'll sign it slowly when I have time when I go back. It won't be a hassle."
Everyone walked to the parking lot while chatting. Cao Guanhong and Qiao Anchen's two cars, even with so much luggage, were not crowded at all and returned home smoothly.
The driver, Albert Vernal, helped Qiao Minyi and his wife move their luggage to Qiao Anchen's house, and then went back downstairs to the house Qiao Anchen rented for him.
Qiao Minyi and Xiao Wenxiu were tired after traveling a long distance, so Qiao Huamei and Cao Guanhong's family of three did not stay long. They helped tidy up the house and settled in before leaving.
The next day, Qiao Minyi and Xiao Wenxiu did not go out for fun. Instead, they rested at home for a day, got off the jet lag, and tidied up the house.
After all, they will live here with Qiao Anchen for a long time from now on.
That afternoon, Qiao Anchen did not eat in the base canteen. Instead, he returned home for dinner and invited his aunt and his family to come for dinner.
Xiao Wenxiu brought many specialties from his hometown, such as bacon, sausages, chili peppers, black beans, red tofu, pickled mustard, etc. The bacon and sausages were made from pigs raised by relatives.
This meal almost swallowed Qiao Anchen's tongue.
I have been eating nutritious Western food in the cafeteria for a long time, and now I finally have a meal of hometown-style dishes made by my mother, which can satisfy my craving.
After resting for a day and recuperating, on the morning of January 21, Cao Guanhong drove Qiao Huamei, Cao Junhao, Qiao Pingyi, Xiao Wenxiu, exactly five people, in one car to the Basque Autonomous Region to watch Qiao Anchen's game live.
Qiao Anchen bought the away tickets through the club's channels. There will be no danger in sitting with Atletico Madrid fans heading to the away game.
As for Qiao Anchen himself, he is naturally with the team.
The game started in the evening. After arriving at their destination, Qiao Pingyi and others first found a hotel to book a room, then spent a day in San Sebastian, where Real Sociedad is located, and then went to the Anoeta Stadium, the home of Real Sociedad, to watch in the evening.
Contest.
After completing the ticket check, he entered the stadium and found the stands where Atletico Madrid fans gathered. After finding a seat and sitting down, the Atletico Madrid fans next to him couldn't help but see Qiao Pingyi's yellow skin, dark-eyed faces, and the Chinese flag in his hand.
Asked: "Are you Chinese?"
Naturally, Qiao Binyi and Xiao Wenxiu did not understand Spanish, so Cao Guanhong and Qiao Huamei could only answer.
After a few exchanges, they heard that Qiao Minyi and Xiao Wenxiu were Qiao Anchen's parents. The nearby Atletico Madrid fans were overjoyed. With the translations of Cao Guanhong and Qiao Huamei, they sent a lot of praise to Qiao Anchen's parents.
Claiming that they have cultivated a super star for Atletico Madrid who has the potential to be a world-class star.
Although they didn't understand, Qiao Pingyi and Xiao Wenxiu were very happy to have their sister and brother-in-law translate.
The two of them still feel a sense of accomplishment that their son can achieve such good results and win the love and support of so many foreigners.
Half an hour before the game, the two sides began to warm up. Qiao Anchen's appearance naturally received cheers from the away Atletico Madrid fans in the stands.
However, it was more the home Real Sociedad fans that booed Qiao Anchen.
They all know that the biggest threat to Atletico Madrid now is Qiao Anchen, not Falcao, who is apparently the most valuable.
Xiao Wenxiu was a little worried: "With so many people booing An Chen, will he be affected?"
Qiao Pingyi shook his head and said: "Don't worry blindly. These are normal phenomena in football matches, and only people who pose a greater threat will receive this kind of treatment. Most people can't enjoy it. People can't remember your name.
Too lazy to care about you."
Cao Guanhong also said: "Yes, this situation is very common, and it is also something Qiao Anchen must experience. Just looking at his performance in the first two games, these have little impact."
