When Chang Sheng stood on the side of the road carrying a huge backpack and pulling a suitcase that was half his height, he waved his left hand.
Avril next to her was also a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, uncle... I accidentally held it too hard..."
Chang Sheng continued to wave away: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to apologize all the time."
"That won't work, I have a clear distinction between love and hate!"
"It has nothing to do with love and hate, Avril..." Chang Sheng was speechless.
Then he looked up at the gate across the street.
When he saw the gate, he was in a trance.
Different from the gate he remembered twelve years later, this gate was newer. The smooth white tile exterior wall reflected the sun's rays in the sunlight, which was a bit dazzling.
Twelve years later, this gate is obviously dilapidated. A lot of tiles have fallen off, and it looks like there are sores on the building. The remaining tiles that have not fallen off are not good, and are yellowing and black.
, will no longer be as glorious as it is now.
Apart from the difference in newness and oldness, this gate has no other changes.
Chang Sheng knew it was here.
He came here based on the memory left in his heart by the previous Chang Sheng, and what he saw was completely integrated with his memory.
This is his home, Chang Sheng's home, and the home of his brother who has left.
Their common parents live here.
"This is your home, uncle?" Avril asked aloud when she saw Chang Sheng staring in the direction of the door without saying a word.
"Yes, this is my home." Chang Sheng replied, continuing to stare at the door.
※ ※ ※
This is a family compound of a state-owned enterprise. It is not a large-scale factory, but there are more than 20,000 people living in this family compound.
He was born here. He went to elementary school and junior high school here before graduating from junior high school. For him, this family home and everything around it was his entire world.
The state-owned enterprise where my parents work is like any state-owned enterprise. It has all the complete facilities, including its own kindergarten, its own school, its own hospital, its own post office, its own police station, its own cinema... It is like a
The kingdom of **.
People in the family compound can meet their basic living needs without going too far away.
So Chang Sheng didn't have a basic understanding of the city where he lived until he entered high school.
There are many such family areas in this northern heavy industrial city. It can be said that this city is composed of family areas of large state-owned factories one after another.
Because we are all employees of the same company and live in the same place, it is inevitable that we know each other, so if someone has something going on, it is basically impossible to hide it, and it will soon become known to everyone.
Just like him back then, because he had no future, he was always used by the parents of other children to educate their own children.
So I am probably considered a celebrity in this courtyard.
This also resulted in my parents often being unable to hold their heads high in front of their colleagues.
As a parent, the only spiritual sustenance is the child. If the child has no future, the parent will feel inferior.
This is a very normal thought.
Chang Sheng in his previous life could not change all this. He was still confused, making his parents even more unable to hold their heads up.
But this time...
He wants to change everything!
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng, who was pulling a suitcase and carrying a large backpack, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he approached the compound.
In fact, before he even came over, he had already attracted a lot of attention.
Who asked him to have a "ghost girl" standing next to him?
Avril Lavigne can be considered beautiful, but in the way she is dressed now, in China in 2000, many people really didn’t think she was very beautiful... That is to say, after the Internet age, everyone has seen more. With strong receptivity, there are
Because of my tolerance and tolerance, I feel that all kinds of strange foreign women are actually beauties...
For the children of Lao Chang's family, they are celebrities in this yard.
It was said that he wanted to be a football coach abroad. It was not easy to go abroad at first, so the Chang family borrowed money to send their children away.
It's been ** years now, and I haven't heard of any foreign football coach named Chang.
So no one knows whether he is really working as a coach outside.
Some people think that Chang Sheng must be doing other things outside, and maybe some shady job.
Therefore, there are many legends about Changsheng in this compound.
But they are not good legends.
This situation is caused not only by people's preconceived impressions of him, but also by his mysterious and low-key nature.
Chang Sheng once recalled his brother's situation in this life and found that he was really able to keep a low profile.
At that time, he devoted all his energy to football, and the round-trip air ticket was also a big expense. At that time, Chang Sheng rarely went home, only once a year. It was a dream, and he could basically do it twice.
It’s not easy to come back just once every three years.
Therefore, after being away for more than eight years, Chang Sheng has returned home only a handful of times. He can count them on one hand.
Even when he comes back, he keeps a very low profile and never talks to others about his life abroad.
Relatives and friends once came to play at home and curiously asked Chang Sheng about things abroad. They wanted to know whether the moon abroad is really rounder than at home.
Chang Sheng had no interest in this, and either kept silent or just made a few perfunctory remarks.
Therefore, everyone is unclear about his living conditions abroad. It is no wonder that so many people doubt whether he really went abroad, or whether he really became a football coach when he went abroad...
Although Chang Sheng is considered a "celebrity" in this compound, this is not the reason why everyone is paying attention to him this time.
Basically, no one recognized who this person was... all their eyes were on Avril Lavigne.
Any foreign woman with such colorfully dyed hair, dark circles under her eyes as if she was on drugs, strangely dressed, and fair skin would become the center of attention.
When he was at the gate, the guard stopped Chang Sheng and asked him, but he looked at Avril: "Who are you looking for?"
Not only does Avril Lavigne make people feel strange, Chang Sheng himself also feels strange.
If someone said that this man is always victorious, many people would be surprised and confused.
Because this Changsheng is completely different from the Changsheng in their impression...
For this return, Chang Sheng specially changed his outfit. He dressed according to the aesthetics of 2012, and now it seems that it is eye-catching and different.
A pair of slim-fitting jeans and a slim-fitting polo shirt perfectly complement Chang Sheng's figure as a professional football player. This is also the biggest difference between the two Chang Shengs. Chang Sheng's figure in the previous life was a bit fat. After all, he was a homebody all day long.
It’s also difficult to gain weight. In this life, I have always been a professional football player, and I still often go to the stadium for demonstration training, so I have maintained a very good figure.
Her hair was cut into a short, sharp hairstyle, and she wore a pair of sunglasses.
The outfit is secondary, the most important thing is the temperament.
After the memories of the two people were merged together, the whole temperament of the person also changed.
He is definitely no longer the low-key victorious person he used to be who kept his head down and never walked home.
Although he doesn't speak, anyone who just looks at him will feel that he exudes an aggressive aura.
This may be related to his confidence in himself after his rebirth, or it may be related to the fact that he experienced a fierce relegation battle.
In short, such a person is absolutely different from the Chang Sheng everyone knows, so no one will regard him as Chang Sheng.
Of course, more importantly, no one would think that Chang Sheng would bring a foreign girl back! With Chang Sheng's extremely low-key attitude every time he comes back, there are no Chinese girls, let alone foreign girls.

Facing the doorman's questioning, Chang Sheng seemed very calm: "I live here."
The doorman looked at Avril up and down, as if she was curious, then glanced at Chang Sheng, squinted his eyes, and said suspiciously: "You live here? Young man, I have been working here for twenty years. I don't
I’ve seen someone like you before.”
But I know you.
Chang Sheng said in his heart.
Although he didn't know the name of this guard, he had to pass here every day before going to and from school and going to and from get off work, so he looked familiar to his face.
Chang Sheng noticed that many people were already surrounding him.
Today is Saturday. People who had breakfast early in the morning have just returned. Some people are planning to go to the vegetable market outside to buy vegetables. People and cars are coming and going at the gate, which is very lively.
Avril itself is eye-catching enough, and coupled with the conversation between him and the doorman, it becomes even more eye-catching.
So he directly reported the detailed address of his home.
"Sixth floor, unit three, building fifteen... No. 2... Huh?" the doorman repeated, "Isn't this Old Chang's house?"
He reacted suddenly: "Are you a victor?!"
Chang Sheng smiled at him: "That's right." Then he took off his sunglasses.
A person's appearance can change, and his temperament can also change, but his appearance always changes the least. After he took off his sunglasses, the doorman recognized him.
"Um...you came back from abroad?"
Chang Sheng nodded and didn't want to say more to him. Hearing that he was Chang Sheng, more people gathered around him.
After those people heard that this kid turned out to be Chang Sheng, they all exclaimed, and Chang Sheng even heard the sound of breathing.
Their whispers became louder.
Pointing at Avril Lavigne, it’s a good thing that Avril Lavigne doesn’t understand Chinese, otherwise she would not feel very good...
Chang Sheng doesn’t want to be like monkeys in the zoo with Avril Lavigne.
"Can I go in now?" he asked.
"Of course, of course..." The guard seemed to want to ask something else, but seeing that Chang Sheng was not interested in saying more, he had no choice but to step away.
Chang Sheng pulled his suitcase and walked in with Avril a little awkwardly under the gaze of everyone. He could almost imagine what news would spread throughout the family compound in a day... no, half a day.
Avril was quite curious about the Chinese people who were watching. She kept looking at them. Most of the Chinese people felt a little embarrassed by her and retreated, but some people still followed them towards Chang Sheng's house.
Everyone always likes to watch the fun and strange things. Now a particularly strange thing happened here.
That low-key Chang Sheng actually brought back a foreign girlfriend in a high-profile way!
Does the sun rise from the south?
Although his girlfriend looks a bit...weird...
※ ※ ※
Li Yuhua, who came downstairs to take out the trash, saw a large group of people walking toward her unit. She felt strange. She didn't know what such a large group of people were doing.
So she turned around to watch the excitement.
Then I saw the two leading people, dressed completely different from everyone else. The man was carrying a large backpack, pulling a suitcase, and wearing sunglasses, reflecting the sunlight in the sky.
The woman is even more exaggerated. She has blond hair, which is pretty good-looking, but the left side is stained with several strands of red. Her eye circles are as dark as a panda's, and she wears weird clothes. Her upper body is in a T-shirt and tie. Why?
It looks like a crazy way to wear it, not to mention the lower body... It's simply unbearable to look at! A pair of shorts can almost cover the buttocks, revealing a large section of thighs and calves that are as white as snow. Li Yuhua is stunned.
I had the nerve to go see it.
Then the man quickened his pace and walked toward her.
You look strange... here to ask for directions? Li Yuhua guessed in his mind.
But there are so many people behind you...
She looked behind her and saw many familiar faces, all of whom were neighbors.
When these neighbors saw her, they danced and shouted: "Yuhua! Your son! Your son is back!!"
They shouted and pointed at the young man in front of them.
At this time, the young man wearing sunglasses also walked up to her.
She stared blankly at the young man in front of her. She didn't react for a while.
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng stood in front of Li Yuhua, looking up and down, feeling excited.
That’s right!
It’s my mother!
They look exactly the same and have the same name.
But... she is much younger than the mother he last remembered.
At that time, my mother, because she was unsatisfied, had to go out to work after being laid off from her job. She hoped to buy a house for her child so that he would not have to live with them in this small house of less than 60 square meters. Li Yuhua
I have always thought that the reason why my children cannot find a suitable girl is because they do not have a decent house.
Which girl nowadays wants to live with her parents-in-law?
I don’t have a house. I don’t even see anyone.
So after she was laid off, she went to work everywhere. Like many ordinary Chinese women, she tried her best to contribute everything she could to her children.
After dedicating their youth, they dedicate their middle age, after dedicating their middle age, they dedicate their old age.
I spend most of my life focusing on my children.
At that time, Chang Sheng remembered that her mother had wrinkles on her face like ravines. Her skin was rough. She wore cheap clothes and shoes all year round and never used any cosmetics or skin care products. Her hands were covered with rough calluses.
Just looking at her appearance, who knew that her mother was actually a beauty when she was young?
Today's mother stands in front of him, and she still has some charm, not as old as she will be in the future.
He suddenly realized how ignorant he had been.
After traveling through time, I almost thought I would never see my parents Chang Sheng again. At this moment, I looked at my mother who was stunned, and suddenly my nose felt sore.
He took off his sunglasses and used an action he had never used in his previous life - a bear hug, hugging his mother tightly.
He buried his head on his mother's shoulder.
"Mom, I'm back..."
Avril, who was standing behind him, watched the scene in front of her with great interest, and the corners of her naturally upturned mouth became even more raised.
