Chapter 027 Brother
When Zhang Yang went to the hotel where his father and eldest brother stayed, Zhang Guodong was receiving a phone call from his wife.
"Have you seen your son?" Zhang's mother asked.
"Hmm."
"How's your son? Did you lose weight? How's your health?"
"It's good, it's good."
"Dead old man, you are also the father of a star now. Don't throw up and humiliate your son. Be careful that your son dislikes you.
"He dares!" Zhang Guodong said that he subconsciously looked at the jacket on his body. The jacket was old. This was Zhang Yang's youth team in the Peninsula Club in China. He bought it for him with his goal bonus. Lao Zhang had been reluctant to wear it. This time he went abroad, he wore it very solemnly. This jacket was quite fashionable in those years. It's already outdated.
At this time, the eldest son Zhang Guodong put a glass of water on the table, "Dad, it's time to take medicine."
"Oh." Zhang Guodong handed the arc to his eldest son, "Dahai, your mother wants to talk to you."
"Oh, oh, oh." Zhang Dahai took the microphone and said, "Mom, I'm Dahai. How are you? Seeing Xiaoyang, he is awesome now. Well, we will pay attention to our health. Mom, you should also pay attention to..."
Zhang Guodong looked at the water cup on the table, next to which was the pills that the eldest son had put. He looked up at the eldest son who was talking to his wife. There was a warmth in his heart. Although the eldest son was not as promising as the youngest son, he did not say anything about filial piety. In addition, he always felt guilty. The eldest son for this My family has paid a lot, I have no regrets, and I love my brother even more. The two sons are the greatest pride in his life. It's all his pride.
※※※※※※※※※
Zhang Dahai hung up the phone and saw that his father had not taken the medicine yet. He complained, "Dad, why don't you take the medicine? You have to take the medicine on time."
"I know. You call your brother to see why he hasn't come yet?"
"Hmm. He also has to ask the coach for leave. He is not so soon.
Zhang Yang finally found the hotel where Dad stayed. This is a very ordinary small hotel. Dad and they are reluctant to stay in a hotel.
Room 304.
He found this room. The door was empty. Zhang Yang saw his eldest brother Zhang Dahai carrying a basin of foot washing water and was about to wash his father's feet. Through the light, he saw the white hair on his father's temples.
Zhang Yang's nose suddenly became sore, and he felt very uncomfortable. He was away all year round, and his eldest brother took care of everything at home. He always felt that he was very filial even if he gave money to his family. However, at this moment, he knew that he didn't do enough. Compared with his eldest brother, he did much worse than he did. .
"Brother, I'll do it." Zhang Yang pushed the door open and said.
Only then did the father and son see Zhang Yang coming.
"No, no, I'll do it." Zhang Dahai said with a smile.
"Let him come. When did this boy wash my feet?" Zhang Guodong said angrily.
Zhang Dahai smiled and gave up his seat. Looking at his brother bending down to wash his father's feet, he went to pour a glass of water and put it on the table. "Have you asked for leave?"
Hearing what Dad said, Zhang Yang could only smile awkwardly. He picked up a towel to help Dad wipe his feet. "Brother, the hotel you live in is very difficult to find. If I had known you were coming, I would have arranged everything."
"Don't blame your brother. I told him not to inform you." Zhang Guodong said.
"You are in a hurry. You should think more about doing things."
"Don't feel that you are a star now. Just be proud like a penguin and learn to be modest."
"Train and compete well, and don't make a mess."
Listening to his father's nagging, Zhang Yang smiled and kept nodding and agreeing. In the past, he would often talk back to his father. Now, he has grown up. This experience abroad has made him more mature and can also understand his father's hard work. Sometimes when he is homesick, he wants to have his father and mother nagging. What a happy thing.
Zhang Dahai smiled. When Zhang Yang didn't come, his father kept talking about it, saying that he wanted Zhang Yang and said that Zhang Yang had done a good job. Now in front of him, it's just a lesson. The old man is a knife mouth and a tofu heart. In fact, he is satisfied.
"Why don't you say anything?"
"Dad, I'm listening." Zhang Yang took the towel handed over by the eldest brother and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Bad boy, don't think you're a big star. I'm still your father."
"Of course." Zhang Yang saw the medicine bottle on the table and took it over to have a look. This is a bottle of medicine to lower blood pressure. "Dad, do you have high blood pressure?"
"It's okay." Zhang Guodong waved his hand and signaled his son not to worry.
Zhang Yang felt even more guilty in his heart. His father had high blood pressure, and he didn't even know if he didn't pay attention to it.
"I've taken the medicine and I'm much better. I help my father take his blood pressure every day, and now it's basically stable." Zhang Dahai saw his brother's guilt and was relieved.
※※※※※※※※※
After all, Zhang Guodong was old. He chatted with his two sons for a while. Looking at the two sons who made him proud, he was happy. After a while, he was tired and took a rest.
Zhang Yang and his eldest brother sat down on the chair on the balcony and chatted.
Looking at the moon in the night sky, Zhang Yang suddenly sighed. More than a year ago, it was also such a night. He made up his mind to go abroad to find his football dream. The eldest brother took out his wife to help himself. That night, he will never forget what happened at that time.
"Thank you, big brother." Zhang Yang said to the eldest brother that he wanted to thank the eldest brother. He wanted to thank him a lot, too much.
"Thank you, I'm your eldest brother." Zhang Dahai smiled and looked at his brother warmly. Xiao Yang, you have done a good job. Big brother is proud of you.
'I'm your big brother'. When Zhang Yang heard this, there was a warm current in his heart. More than a year ago, it was still this sentence, and now it is still this sentence. His eldest brother, never says anything polite. He is always so simple. This is his eldest brother. He turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"In the match with AC Milan, my father and I were in the stands of San Siro." Zhang Dahai said that he didn't think it was necessary to hide this from his brother. "Dad won't let me tell you. He said he was afraid of affecting you, but I think I still want to tell you. Haha, you didn't see our father's entanglement at that time."
Only then did Zhang Yang know that his father actually watched Marseille's away Champions League match with AC Milan in the stands of San Siro. He heard his eldest brother say that his father was a little entangled and laughed. His father is an AC Milan fan, but his baby son is a player of Marseille and helped Marseille draw with AC Milan. Dad doesn't It's strange to be entangled.
"Brother, how are you doing?" Zhang Yang asked.
"It's not bad. Everything is fine." Zhang Dahai said with a smile that he opened a building materials company, and now he has made a little better. Zhang Dahai has been working on the construction site before, and he still knows a good understanding of this industry, so now he can figure out the door and the way.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Zhang Yang asked, he was grateful to the eldest brother and hoped that he could help the eldest brother, so that he would feel less guilty. He also knows that what he can help the eldest brother is the financial problem. For others, maybe money is the best thing, but the eldest brother is not such a person.
When Zhang Dahai heard Zhang Yang say this, his face was a little hesitant.
"Brother, is there anything else I can't say?"
"When you say that, I really need your help." Zhang Dahai looked at his brother and was a little embarrassed to say, "I want to make the business bigger, but there are some problems with the funds."
For the current Zhang Yang, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Although his salary is not the top among players, his annual salary of 2 million euros is also a lot.
"How much?"
"It's more than six million." Zhang Dahai said that he really didn't want to open this to his brother in his heart. If his brother hadn't taken the initiative to ask, he would never have said that he had made a plan. After returning to China, he asked his friends from the county Agricultural Bank for help to see if he could borrow some money.
"It's not a big deal." Zhang Yang knew the eldest brother's character. He saw the eldest brother's embarrassment and deliberately joked, "This little money is nothing to my brother. Hey hey."
Looking at the boy's appearance, Zhang Dahai scolded and patted him on the head, "I'll write you an IOU later."
"What are you doing?" Zhang Yang suddenly stood up. He was angry.
"Sitting down." When Zhang Dahai saw Zhang Yang's anxiety, he asked him to sit down, and his face became serious. "Xiaoyang, I know you have money now. This little money is nothing for you, but the eldest brother must write this loan, and the eldest brother also knows that you really want to help the eldest brother, but the eldest brother must write an IOU. I must say to myself that this money is borrowed. Yours, you have to pay back the money in the future, so that the eldest brother can be more motivated. People are lazy. I can't develop the habit of relying on my younger brother!"
Seeing what Zhang Yang wanted to say, Zhang Dahai said with a straight face, "Xiao Yang, I know what you mean, but please understand your big brother."
Zhang Yang was silent.
Zhang Dahai is a proud person and a temperamental person. He can take out his only funds to help his brother in the most difficult times, because he knows that he is the eldest brother! He took it for granted. Zhang Dahai is also a career-minded person. He has his own career and strives for it. This is his career and his dream! He wants to fight completely on his own efforts. As a big brother, he doesn't want to be told that he wants to rely on his younger brother. I don't want to develop this kind of inertia!
A man must have his own career, which is the most complete life. No matter how difficult the future is, just go all the way!
From this point of view, Zhang Yang and Zhang Guodong are both people who have their own dreams, have their own career aspirations, and are willing to fight for them!
The only difference is that Zhang Dahai is the eldest brother, and he has more responsibility than Zhang Yang.

Zhang Dahai took out a cigarette from his pocket and looked at the eldest brother. He grabbed the lighter from the eldest brother's hand and helped the eldest brother light it. Looking at the eldest brother smoking a cigarette heavily, he also pulled out a cigarette, but he didn't light it. He put it in his hand and kneaded it, rubbed it, and threw it on the ground. "Write it."
However, he made up his mind that he would not ask the eldest brother to pay back the money!
Zhang Guodong got up and went to the toilet. He heard the conversation between the two sons and didn't say anything. He just straightened his waist more straight. He was proud of his son. These were the two sons of the Zhang family. They had their own persistence and their own dreams.
But at any time, they are brothers!
