Hu Lai finally bought the house that the whole family liked.
Including the free area, it is nearly 200 square meters, with four bedrooms, three living rooms and three bathrooms - three bathrooms are also a bonus.
For the Hu Lai family, who currently live in a 58-square-meter house, this is the ultimate luxury they can imagine.
There are so many rooms that they don't even know how to allocate them.
In the end, in addition to their respective bedrooms, they only reached an agreement on the use of one room - that room will be used as Hu Lai's honorary display room to place all the things he has won from the school team to the professional team.
All honorary medals and trophies.
Including the Anton Cup championship medal and the Golden Boot trophy, the national competition championship trophy, the Golden Boot trophy and the best player trophy, as well as the four trophies and a gold medal just brought back from the capital awards ceremony after the end of the season, as well as the above
The Rookie of the Season Award trophy.
Of course, don’t forget the championship gold medal, golden boot and best player trophy he won in the East Asian Cup.
These honors record Hu Lai's football career and have extraordinary significance to them.
And Xie Lan is sure that his son will not only win these honors, but will definitely have more trophies and medals brought back by his son in his future career. Therefore, a whole room must be dedicated to displaying these honors.
witness.
Instead of placing it on Hu Lai's desk as before.
Hu Lixin had no objection to this.
So the two parties signed the contract at the sales department that morning.
The house was purchased in the name of Hu Lai's parents. Hu Lai transferred the money from his bank account to his mother and ignored it completely.
This is mainly because he really doesn't have time to stay in Dongchuan and go through the procedures. After all, buying a house requires an online signature. After the online signature is passed, you can go to the real estate trading center for transactions. This process takes time.
But Hu Lai just didn't have this time.
This is one of the reasons why he did not choose to take out a loan to buy a house, because it would take longer.
Now he gave the money to his mother and left his parents to do the rest.
Having the names of both parents written on the real estate deed can be regarded as a gift from him to repay his parents for their upbringing.
※※※
After settling the matter of buying a house, Hu Lai was about to leave home.
Before leaving, he made a special trip to visit Li Qingqing's father, his school team coach.
He originally wanted to invite the coach to dinner, but he was rejected directly: "Forget it, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if it's just the two of us."
Hu Lai, who is so shameless, would not feel embarrassed, but since the coach thought it would be embarrassing, he had to give up.
Yes, Hu Lai didn't see Li Qingqing this time.
In mid-December, the first half of the European League was not yet over.
And when Li Qingqing can come back for Christmas or something after the holidays, Hu Lai has already gone to the Olympic team to report on the training camp.
They both missed it so perfectly.
But there is no way. This time the U23 Asian Cup is held in China, it is related to whether the Chinese Olympic team can participate in the Olympic Games in Madrid, Spain next summer.
Both the leaders of the Football Association and the fans and media attach great importance to this.
Especially since this Olympic team performed well in the East Asian Cup in March this year and won the championship, people have high hopes for it.
"Then let's just say this, Hu Lai. See you at the Olympics!"
"What the hell are you doing at the Olympics? Shouldn't you be at the club preparing for the new season?"
"Are you crazy, Hu Lai? I want to participate in the Olympics too!"
"Eh?" Hu Lai looked at Li Qingqing, who was video chatting with him on the phone screen, and was stunned for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Li Qingqing knew that Hu Lai must have forgotten: "When your men's football team participates in the Olympics, it is the national Olympic team. Our women's football team participates in the Olympics and goes directly to the national team!"
Hu Lai suddenly realized that he had really ignored this matter... He always thought that to participate in the Olympics, he must be on the National Olympic Team, but Li Qingqing is on the national team, what Olympic Games should he participate in?
When Li Qingqing said this, he remembered that it was indeed the case. The women's football team participated in the Olympics as a national team.
"You focus on the U23 Asian Cup in January to determine the Olympic quota, while we determine the Olympic quota in two stages in February and March." Li Qingqing said.
"Oh, yes, yes!"
"So Hu Lai, you must be qualified for the Olympics by then!"
"Don't just talk about me, aren't you the same?"
"Haha, when did our women's football team miss the Olympics? But when was the last time your men's football team participated in the Olympics? By the way, it was the Capital Olympics, and that was all eleven years ago!"
Hu Lai was said to have no temper. Who said the women's football team was awesome?
"Anyway, I don't care. We have agreed to meet at the Olympics..." At this point, Li Qingqing on the screen suddenly gave Hu Lai a little thumbs up.
"what?"
"Pull the hook!" Li Qingqing on the other side of the screen shook her little finger.
"How do you pull the hook through the screen?" Hu Lai felt that Li Qingqing's brain was crazy.
"Hook through the air! Quick, let me see your fingers!"
Hu Lai had no choice but to raise his little thumb: "Childish!"
But Li Qingqing smiled happily: "Come, follow me and recite the hook and hang yourself!"
"Hang yourself with a hook..." Hu Lai said perfunctorily, rolling his eyes.
"No change allowed for a hundred years!"
"No changes are allowed for a hundred years... It's just next year, why should we not be allowed to change for a hundred years?" Hu Lai couldn't help but complain.
"Then... hang yourself with a hook. See you at the Olympics next year!"
Hu Lai repeated it and then put down his hand.
"I'm telling you Hu Lai, you need some snacks. If you fail to come to the Olympics, you will owe me... thirty meals!" Li Qingqing on the other side of the screen also put away her hand.
"Why thirty meals!"
"If you have missed an appointment for a large-scale event like the Olympics, which is attracting worldwide attention, do you think you owe ten meals worthy of the standards and status of the Olympics?" Li Qingqing said confidently.
Hu Lai opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Li Qingqing's head held high, he shook his head: "Okay. But I don't think I can break the appointment."
"Hey, that's good. It's settled, we'll see you at the Madrid Olympics next year!"

"Zhiyuan, are you okay?"
Agent Qiu Xinrong stood up in the living room and looked back towards the bathroom.
"Come on, come on..." Just as he was talking, the bathroom door was pushed open, and a tall figure squeezed out, "I was selected for the Olympic team, not you. Why do you feel that you are better than me, Uncle Qiu?"
Still excited?"
"Am I excited? I am anxious - if you don't go out, you won't be able to catch the plane! Hurry!" Qiu Xinrong roared at the end.
Lin Zhiyuan then put on his backpack, picked up his suitcase, and ran out of the door using the manager's "Lion's Roar Kung Fu".
"Let me tell you, don't offend anyone when you get to the Olympic team. Keep in mind that you are a complete newcomer to the Olympic team..." Qiu Xinrong, who was driving, took the trouble to remind Lin Zhiyuan that he was really afraid of this.
Disorganized young people will be incompatible with that team. "Many people in the Olympic team are old teammates who have worked together for many years. It is inevitable that a small group will form, and it is difficult for you to squeeze in, so you must give me
…”
Qiu Xinrong glanced through the rearview mirror and found that Lin Zhiyuan had collapsed on the back seat. He was so angry that he shouted: "Sit tight! Fasten your seat belt!"
Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to sit up obediently and fasten his seat belt: "Listen, listen, old Uncle Qiu, keep talking."
"What am I going to say? Look how angry you are..." Qiu Xinrong recalled for a moment before remembering, "Oh, by the way. When you joined the South China Tigers, the words you said may have offended Hu
Lai. He is now the most popular member of the Olympic team. You have to be careful not to conflict with him. If you really confront him, take a step back and the world will be brighter..."
Lin Zhiyuan retracted his gaze from the car window and stared at the manager's back: "Old Uncle Qiu, if you take a step back, the world will be brighter, so why should I step back?"
"Hey, you kid..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Qiu. I'm not an idiot. I went to the Olympic team to play football, not to fight. If Hu Lai is really unhappy with me, let's talk in football. Isn't he a striker? He scores the first goal for me.
Besides, if he can't get in my door, stop showing off in front of me." Lin Zhiyuan curled his lips.
Hearing what he said, Qiu Xinrong frowned, but it was hard to refute.
Football is indeed about strength.
Think about it, when Hu Lai entered the Olympic team, wasn't he just a newcomer? As a result, because of his outstanding performance in the East Asian Cup, he has now become the main core of the Olympic team. The original core Guan Xinyan has been reduced to a substitute.
Speaking of Guan Xinyan, the former main scorer and top star of the National Olympics, it seems that he was not even included in the training list this time...

Chen Xingyi put the soup bowl that was almost as big as his face on the table. He drank all the soup in it, not even a green onion was left.
"Have you finished eating?" Dad Chen Hantang asked next to him.
"It's great!" Chen Xingyi exhaled contentedly, and white steam came out of his mouth and steamed up. "Before you go on a long journey, you must have a bowl of Lao Xie's beef soup."
"Okay, let's go." Chen Hantang stood up and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.
Chen Xingyi turned his head and glanced at the other diners who were immersed in drinking soup like him. Miaomiao white air gathered above their heads, dispelling the severe cold of winter.
This is an ordinary morning in winter in Tangdu.
This Lao Xie beef soup shop is busy as usual, and business is booming.
In order not to delay the next trip, he and his father had to come here early to queue up for dinner.
And now that he has finished eating, he can finally embark on his journey.
This has almost become a fixed procedure and tradition designed by Chen Xingyi himself - whether he is going to Dashun Golden Arrow or Jincheng, as long as he leaves Tangdu, he will come here to have a bowl of soup before leaving.
On the one hand, it was because there was no beef soup that could be seen everywhere in the streets of Tangdu wherever he went, but on the other hand, the taste of his hometown always made him feel full of strength.
The seafood in Dashun is delicious, and the hot pot skewers in Jincheng are also good, but no matter what, he still likes the steaming bowl of soup from his hometown the most.
Ding dong, there is a new message alert on your phone.
Chen Xingyi took it out and saw that it was from Hu Lai: "Little Xingxing, have you set off? Lao Wang and I have already met at the airport in Jincheng!"
Chen Xingyi smiled: "I'm about to take the high-speed rail. See you at Hongfengling!"
※※※
"Little Xingxing can actually go there by train. I really want to take the high-speed rail to the capital..." Hu Lai said to Wang Guangwei next to him with his mobile phone. The two of them are now walking in the terminal of Jincheng Airport, pushing
The luggage cart was piled with two people’s boxes and backpacks.
"The time it takes for him to take the high-speed rail is about the same as our flight," Wang Guangwei said.
The two of them had arranged to meet at the airport.
"Who said it's time? You can get online by taking the high-speed rail, but not by plane... How boring!"
"That's true..."
Just as they were talking, the two people walked to the designated boarding gate.
Just when they were about to find a place to sit down, Hu Lai was stunned for a moment and looked at a person not far away.
At the same time, the man also raised his head, and their eyes met.
"Damn, why are you here?" Hu Lai pointed at Luo Kai and said in surprise.
"Why can't I be here?" Luo Kai was unhappy, "I was also selected for the Olympic team!"
"By the way, I forgot, you are also from Dongchuan..." Hu Lai was talking about another thing.
Wang Guangwei smiled: "What a fate. I didn't expect that we were on the same plane. Where are you sitting, Luo Kai?"
"Eleventh row."
Wang Guangwei took out his boarding pass and his eyes widened: "I'll go... Hu Lai and I are also in row 11. I am E and Hu Lai is F."
Luo Kai was stunned for a moment: "I am D..."
The three of them were seated next to each other in the same row.
"This is really fate opening the door to fate - fate has arrived!" Wang Guangwei said with emotion.
"What kind of fate is this?" Hu Lai snorted, "I thought there would be a beautiful woman sitting next to us, but this is it, this is it!"
"What can you do if you sit with a beautiful woman?" Luo Kai sneered at him. "A beautiful woman won't pay attention to you."
Hu Lai chuckled: "I have Li Qingqing's WeChat account."
Luo Kai took a deep breath, tried to calm down his mood, and then ignored the bitch next to him.
Wang Guangwei saw this scene from the side and suddenly felt that this journey would not be boring anymore.
