What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 25 Merry Christmas
12 month 24 day.

When Lin Kedi got dressed and was ready to go out.

Filippo stopped him.

"Lin, are you going home for the holidays?"

Link didn't even look up.

"Chinese don't celebrate Christmas."

"Yes, you seem to be celebrating the Spring Festival, right?"

"You also know the Spring Festival?"

"Those Chinese shops in Amsterdam will close for a period of time every year. I didn't know why when I was a child. Later, I realized that it is the most important festival for you Chinese people in a year. However, I remember that the Spring Festival seems to be around January every year." .Then where are you going now? You are still dressed so neatly."

"Go home. My parents told me to go home for dinner today. It happens that today and tomorrow are off. My parents are also on vacation today and tomorrow, so I just go home for a while."

"home? Lin, you never said that your family has a house in Amsterdam!"

"Oh—I mean home where my parents are. This is a Chinese concept."

"I see, you pay more attention to family togetherness?"

"Most Chinese people are like that."

"Then I wish you a happy holiday, whether you can't pass Christmas, God will bless you!"

Lin Kedi accepted Filippo's blessing, then opened the door and left the Ajax training center.

After leaving the Ajax training center, Lin Kedi noticed that the streets were crowded with people, even though it was only 9:[-] in the morning.

Lin Kedi was not going to take a ride home.

He was going to walk all the way back.

Of course, it's not exactly walking, it should be said to be walking and running.

Although the temperature in Amsterdam in December was only about 12 degrees, Lin Kedi decided to carry out his original plan and walk home with both feet.

The main reason is that it has been almost half a year since he came to the Netherlands, but in Amsterdam, he can basically count the places he has been to on one hand.

Stadium training ground, parents' home, school, home in Minsk.

He has never been anywhere else.

Outside of Amsterdam, when going to other places for competitions, Lin Kedi basically stayed in the hotel except for going to the stadium during the games.

That's why teammates say that Lin Kedi is a man who likes to stay in the house.

But this doesn't mean that Lin Kedi doesn't like going out, it's just that he has too many things to do now.

You don't really think that learning a new language is all about taking a few lessons a week.

Every time he is in the room, Lin Kedi is studying English and Dutch.

Although Lin Kedi can feel that English and Dutch are quite similar when he is studying, he is not a linguist after all. Although his language talent is quite good, it does not mean that he can speak English fluently without hard work. and Dutch.

In the Netherlands, the penetration rate of English is surprisingly high, which is really rare in a country where the official language is not English, but this penetration rate is indeed related to the level of education and regional characteristics.

When Lin Kedi went to many away games, sometimes the opponent's players communicated in Dutch.

There is another situation, which is also what Lin Kedi said when he was listening to his teammates chatting.In the Eredivisie team, although almost all Dutch players can speak English, they will use language to divide the power division in the locker room.This kind of thing is hard to avoid.

This happens.We are a team, we are teammates, you can speak English, very good.However, if you can speak Dutch, it's amazing.We can be closer.

After Lin Kedi listened to this little knowledge of small talk.I thought this might also be a subconscious sense of national honor.After all, the official language of the Netherlands is Dutch, but basically all the people are English. The TV stations are all broadcast in English. The Queen of the Netherlands also uses English when she visits and gives speeches. This is a consideration based on the real world, but in the deep subconscious Among them, the Dutch definitely prefer Dutch, and if you are an outsider who can speak Dutch, you will undoubtedly be welcomed by the Dutch.

Therefore, if Lin Kedi wants to gain a foothold in the Eredivisie first team in the future, learning Dutch well is definitely a plus.

Because of this, Lin Kedi learned Dutch in the short amount of time.

And today and tomorrow are the Christmas holidays. Even if Lin Kedi works hard, he plans to take a break in these two days.

Just in time, the parents' phone call came.

Parents also have holidays. It just so happens that a small family of three can spend Christmas in a foreign country.

Although none of the three are Catholics, family reunion in the name of the festival is the proper meaning of the title.

Lin Kedi, who was walking on the road at this time, saw the strong Christmas scene on the street, and a kind of warmth spontaneously arose.

Stopping and stopping along the way, when they reached a park in the city, Lin Kedi started to run, breathing the air. There were tall trees on both sides, blocking the view of the city.

This park must be the holy place for running in Amsterdam, but it is Christmas, and in the Netherlands, almost no one will come out for a run on Christmas Eve.

So when Lin Kedi was running in this park, there was no one around, and everything was silent.

An ethereal feeling.

Lin Kedi took out his mobile phone and found that it was not far from his parents' house.

After running out of the park, the trees on both sides gradually became lower until they suddenly became clear.

Outside is a busy street.

It is only a few meters away from the quiet park, but it seems like two worlds.

Lin Kedi also stopped and started to walk, walking on this secular road together with the pedestrians around him.

Suddenly, Lin Kedi saw a Chinese signboard on the right side of an intersection.

"Lin's Supermarket"

The background on the signboard is a forest, and there is a national flag in the lower right corner.

Lin Kedi walked in without hesitation.

The word "familiar" came into view.

Many items that are often seen in China but difficult to find overseas are available here.

Lin Kedi only felt as if he had returned to China.

And in this supermarket, there are not only Chinese people, but also many white people and black people.

Lin Kedi picked it up, found a few things that are common in China, and bought them.

Walking out of the supermarket, it was already very close to my parents' apartment.

It is now 11:50 am.

Lin Kedi walked for more than 2 hours, but he didn't feel tired at all.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even though you and your parents are in the same city, the family hasn't seen each other for several months.

Link was excited. After entering the apartment building, there were already three buildings and he rushed into the elevator in two steps.

When you get to the door, "knock, knock, knock".

The door opened.

Lin Daosheng and Xu Yanli were standing at the door.

"Dad, Mom, Merry Christmas!"
