Godfather Of Champions

Christmas is the most important holiday of the year in the UK. Therefore, no matter how frugal you are, your family will rush into the shopping malls to make a big purchase at this time. Christmas trees are a must-buy for every household and prepare Christmas gifts for children and friends. gift. At this time, the store has a dazzling array of discount products, which makes people dizzy and at a loss what to do. British stores entered the peak consumption season one month before Christmas, but the real climax was before Christmas Eve.

The sky dimmed early in the afternoon, and there was a drizzle in the sky. The weather forecast for today's afternoon temperature is only over eight degrees Celsius, but this can't stop people's enthusiasm for shopping. The large and small shops in Nottingham's business district are brightly lit, and all shops have advertised discounts to attract more customers. Dunn was walking in the street, and he often saw people passing by with loads of loads. Watching those people dangling through the crowd with packages that were almost half their height, I was really worried for them. He moved from one store to another, shopping from one store to another, enjoying the festive atmosphere. This was his first Christmas in the UK! And this atmosphere reminded him of the Chinese New Year.

There were cheers and laughter from strangers around them, and their faces were filled with excited smiles, carrying large and small shopping bags, and two of them walked past him in pairs. No matter how many unhappy things happened in the past year, it will pass.

After walking around for an hour without knowing it, he still had his hands empty. Because he really didn't know what gifts to buy for Sophia and Wood.

Dunn was not good at choosing gifts for people, if he could, he would rather send the money directly.

All of Wood's football equipment is provided by the club, and there is no need for him to send a pair of sneakers to others. As for Sophia... Thinking of this name, Dunn didn't know how he felt about that woman. The initial sympathy for the weak gradually faded, and another kind of feeling gradually formed in my heart.

In the end, Dunn chose a red wool scarf for Sophia, but bought nothing for Wood, because he already knew what gift to give.

After six in the afternoon, when the golden star at the top of the Christmas tree in the city center was lit, Randy James' black taxi stopped at Wood's door. "We_Wish_You_A_Merry_Christmas" was on the radio in the car. In the cheerful voice of a child, Dunn took out three wrapped gifts from his arms and gave them to the Randy driver who had accompanied him for a year.

"Merry Christmas, Randy. Thank you for driving me around this year. Now let's pick up the car and go back with your family. This is a gift for you." Seeing Randy accepting the gift, Dunn opened it. The door is going to get off.

"Wait, Tony." Randy stopped him again, "I also prepared a copy for you... Uh, you are a coach, and you must earn more than me. I don't know what to give you, so just Just a greeting card." He took out the card in the envelope and handed it to Dunn. "Merry Christmas, Tony. Have a nice evening. When you are going home, call me again." He made a call gesture and restarted the car.

Dunn watched Randy leave, then lowered his head to open the folded card. As expected, there is also a paragraph above.

"Tony, thank you for not choosing to leave the forest in the summer. I know you were very difficult at that time and there were many teams inviting you. Actually I was worried that you would go, but for your personal consideration, I can't say anything. Well now, you stay and come back. Two consecutive victories! Bring us more victories, Tony! We love you! Merry Christmas!"

Dunn smiled and shook his head slightly. The British are always accustomed to expressing emotions introvertedly, whether it is joy or sadness, it is no wonder they are so fanatical about football, because only on the football field can they fully vent their inner emotions. Randy is such a typical Englishman.

He looked up and looked around the street. It was the biggest difference from when he first came here-the slogans of "Merry Christmas" were sprayed on the windows of every house, and some houses also had a string of colorful lights on the walls and the entrances With an inflatable snowman... Regardless of how difficult and difficult the life is, you must not be chilly during the festival. Although this is a slum area of ​​Nottingham, the festive atmosphere is not lost to the bustling business district of the city center.

Dunn looked up at the window of Wood's house. The curtains were closed, and the orange light leaked from it. Dunn thought of Sophia and Wood, who lived here and depended on each other, even in such a rainy night, it still made people feel warm.

Knocking on the door of Wood's house, Dunn saw George Wood with his sleeves rolled up, obviously he was helping his mother.

"Ah, I came in time. Do you need help?" Dun En asked.

Wood nodded: "Need."

Sophia, who heard their conversation upstairs, said loudly: "No! Mr. Dunn, you can just sit and rest!" Dunn laughed when she heard her panting voice, and replied in a loud voice: "Don't be brave. , Ma'am! I'm cooking Chinese food for you, and I'm learning it again, haha!"

After a lot of busy work, the three of them sat around the table and ate this Christmas Eve dinner until 8 o'clock in the evening.

In the corner of the narrow living room-dining room-kitchen, there is a small Christmas tree full of colorful lights and greeting cards. Ribbons were drawn diagonally on the ceiling, and an old-fashioned candlestick was placed in the center of the dining table, and white candles were lit and inserted on it. Looking at a table of sumptuous meals, Dunn felt like a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The family reunited and enjoyed themselves... It was just that he and Wood were not a family.

Before eating, Sophia also went back to the bedroom to put on her best-looking winter clothes, and retouched the makeup she had lost because of the barbecue turkey. The hair is no longer curled up, but the shawl goes down, black and bright like a waterfall under the light. Dunn felt that this woman seemed to regain her brilliance. Compared with the first time we met, Sophia is like a different person today, and all the diseases in her body have been driven away.

When Dunn saw Sophia's affectionate eyes and a shy smile in the candlelight, he thought he already knew what made Sophia change so much...

Feeling Sophia's hot eyes, Dunn turned his head a little embarrassedly, just to see the present he placed under the Christmas tree when he entered the door. So simply took the opportunity to get up and get the gift.

"Merry Christmas, ma'am. This is for you." He handed the wrapped scarf to Sophia.

"It's beautiful... How did you know that I like red, Mr. Dunn?" Sophia unpacked and took out the red scarf from it, exclaiming.

Isn't it? What a coincidence? Dunn was a little stunned. "Uh...sometimes, men's instincts are quite accurate." He could only explain that.

Sophia tied the scarf around her neck happily, and then ran back to the bedroom to look in the mirror.

Taking advantage of this time, Dunn looked at Wood on the opposite side. Wood was also looking at him. No one spoke. There was some embarrassment between the two... After a while, Wood finally spoke: "My mother also has a gift to give you. If you don't want it, I won't forgive you." He lowered his voice, obviously not wanting the mother in the back room to hear it.

Dunn smiled: "Of course I won't refuse, why should I refuse?"

Hearing him say that, a smile appeared on Wood's face.

"George, it seems that you are doing well in the youth team." Dunn cared about him by the way. "Now how many minutes does Coach Chris Lak give you per game?"

"Just played the whole game." Wood replied.

"How do you feel about your performance?"

"Very good." Without pretentiousness, Wood said this without any ups and downs in his voice, downplaying it as if the performance was taken for granted.

Dunn nodded and said nothing. At this time, Sophia came out of the bedroom with a box in her hand. The scarf on her neck was gone, and she was obviously careful to put it away.

"This is a gift for you, Mr. Dunn. I also wish you a Merry Christmas!"

"Thank you, Madam." Dunn took it and opened the box to see that it was also a scarf! It's just white.

"I saw that you don't have a scarf, so I typed one myself. Because I don't know how old it is, I took George as a model." Sophia turned to look at her son and chuckled. "He thought it was me calling him at first? He even said no."

He gently rubbed this hand-woven scarf without a store label, and he could feel the warmth just by putting his hands on it. In fact, he does not have a scarf, but does not have the habit of wearing a scarf in winter. But maybe starting from today, he has to develop this habit.

Looking at Wood who was a little embarrassed, Dunn laughed. "George, I'm sorry I didn't bring you a gift today. When I get back from Norwich, you go to the office to find me."

Wood nodded, but didn't ask anything. This made Dunn a little disappointed, he also planned to let Wood ask "why" before uncovering the mystery.

"Uh...the team will have two League Cup semi-finals after the winter break, and we happen to be missing a midfielder. I plan to transfer you to the first team. If you perform well, you will stay and sign a new one. The contract...this time is a professional contract for the first team."

There was no expression on Wood's face, and Sophia next to her screamed in surprise. "Is it true, Mr. Dunn?"

Dunn nodded: "Your son will soon become a real professional player, madam."

By this time, Wood finally understood what had happened, and he looked at the smiling man opposite with some surprise. Dunn liked Wood's expression very much, so he smiled and said, "Merry Christmas, George."
