Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 19: welcome home holly

"Fox of the Forbidden Zone"

Hu Lai, who was sitting in the car, looked out the car window at a completely different scene from Leeds.

This is not the first time he has come to this city. At the time of the Madrid Olympics, they had visited here for training and competition.

However, unlike the mentality of passing by in a hurry before, this time Hu Lai was obviously much more serious when he looked at the city.

Because this is where he will live for an unknown number of years.

The biggest impression he has on the city of Madrid is that it is open, very open.

He raised his eyes and looked all the way to the horizon without any shelter, as if he could see the other side of the earth at a glance.

As long as you don't cast your eyes in the direction of the city center, all you can see when you look around is this flat scene.

As the capital of Spain, this city rarely has the kind of towering skyscrapers.

In the night, the lights of the distant city are densely packed, as if the starry sky is upside down and falling to the earth.

After watching it for a while, Hu Lai suddenly asked, "Hey, we didn't go to the city center?"

He noticed that the land where the "stars" were always in the distance, never approached.

Relying on the memory of having been to Madrid before, he found that the car was always driving on the highway outside the city and did not enter the city.

"What are you doing downtown?" Song Jiajia, who was sitting next to him, asked.

"The hotel is in the city center!" Hu Lai glanced at Song Jiajia, thinking that today's fat man is a bit strange, otherwise why would he ask such an idiot question.

"Ah...ha!" Song Jiajia couldn't help laughing out loud, "I forgot to tell you, we live in the hotel, you don't live in the hotel."

"I don't live in a hotel. Where do I live..." Hu Lai suddenly realized before he finished speaking. He looked at Song Jiajia and asked in surprise, "Have you bought your house?"

Song Jiajia smiled proudly: "That is, what is my efficiency?"

Holly nodded.

Although he hasn't seen what the new house looks like until now, since he has left everything to Song Jiajia, naturally he won't pick and choose after the house has been bought.

He believed in Song Jiajia, not just talking about it.

The training base of the King of Madrid is in the north of the city of Madrid, while the training base of the Madrid Pirates is in the west of the city.

If you extend two lines on the map centered on the zero-kilometer landmark of the Spanish highway in the Puerta del Sol square in the city center, one leads to the Benavente training base of the King of Madrid, and the other leads to Casa, the training base of the Madrid Pirates.

You will find that these two lines just form a very standard right angle.

The Casa training base of the Madrid Pirates was built and put into use later than Benavente, so there have been rumors that the Madrid Pirates deliberately chose this place to form a right angle with Benavente, implying two teams is the sworn enemy.

Although this rumor has not been officially acknowledged, everyone still talks about it as part of history.

You will find many similar examples in this city that fully demonstrate how bad the relationship between the two families is.

The legend of the training base is just one of them.

By the way, by the way, the training base of the Madrid Pirates was originally called Casa de Trabajador. The free translation is about "Workers' House", but because the transliteration name is too long, the free translation name cannot be connected with football. So the domestic media use the Spanish transliteration of "home" to call the training base of the Madrid Pirates.

The reason why this training base is called this is because the Madrid Pirates was originally established in the activity room of a factory, which was affectionately called the "Worker's House" by the workers at that time.

In order to commemorate the history of the club's establishment, even though the current training base and the former workers' home are no longer geographically separated, the name has continued.

Because the name is too long, the Pirates fans and players in Madrid are used to calling this place "home".

Going to training is called "going home".

So if a Spaniard says to you "I'll take you home tomorrow", ask him if he's a Madrid Pirates fan. If so, the meaning of this sentence may not mean that you are attracted to you and want to take you home to meet your parents. Instead, I will take you to wait for the players outside the Madrid Pirates training base, to ask for autographs and group photos...

The domestic media chose the transliterated name of Casa out of respect for the history and culture of the Madrid Pirates and the habits of the Madrid Pirates fans.

Between Benavente and Casa, there is a small town called Herrera in the northwest corner of Madrid, just in the middle of the line connecting the two training bases.

The straight-line distance is the same whether you go to Benavente in the northeast or Casa in the southwest.

Herrera is a small town. Although the place is not big, the sparrow is small and well-equipped with everything it should have. There are large supermarkets, shopping malls, clinics and hospitals, schools and kindergartens, and various shops and restaurants... It can be said that people living here do not need to go to downtown Madrid at all, and all living needs can be met in the town.

The rolling hills just north of town are dotted with mansions, many of which belong to star players who play for two of the biggest teams.

With their financial resources, it is not difficult to own a house of their own in this small town.

The real estate that Song Jiajia prepared for Hu Lai and Li Qingqing was located in this town. (Note 1)

When the commercial vehicle stopped at the gate of a three-story villa, Song Jiajia said to Hu Lai, "Here we are."

Hu Lai looked up at the white roof behind the fence wall, still a little unrealistic. Is this his home in Madrid? It looks very luxurious.

"How much is the house, Fatty?"

"It's actually not expensive, because it's not in the city center. It's only 2.9 million, less than 3 million."

What Song Jiajia said was an understatement, and Hu Lai himself felt that a house with less than three million yuan was really not expensive. After all, the house he bought in his hometown of Dongchuan cost 2.7 million yuan, which is more expensive than before. $200,000... Fuck, it's Euros!

Hu Lai suddenly realized that all the money numbers they are talking about now are all in euros!

Such a house is sold for 2.9 million euros, which is about 21 million yuan, and the tax has not been calculated...

He grinned, this is the most expensive thing he has ever bought.

Song Jiajia and Hu Lai got out of the car. At the same time, other people went to the back of the car to remove all of Hu Lai's suitcases.

"I put a lot of thought into choosing this house for you. See that over there?" Song Jiajia pointed to the left side of the house.

Hu Lai looked over, and there was a white three-story villa about seventy or eighty meters away from them.

"That's the home of Maxi Carey, the top star of the Madrid Pirates, your teammate, your neighbor. And over there..." Song Jiajia pointed to the right again. "Ettore Parrotti, the rented house of the head coach of the Madrid Pirates. The house below the hillside, Jonathan Hewell, the Belgian national goalkeeper, the best goalkeeper in the World Cup last year, is also your teammate."

"Good guy..." Hu Lai said with emotion.

"Being neighbors with teammates on the same team will also help you integrate into the team. Just say that my arrangement is not good?" Song Jiajia claimed credit.

"Meow meow!" Hu Lai nodded repeatedly, meowing like a cat.

Song Jiajia turned to the courtyard door of the house again, and walked to the door.

"This house has everything you should have, everything is available, and you can move in completely. And it is different from the traditional old European buildings full of decay that you think, this is a modern technology armed from the inside to the outside. house of teeth."

As he spoke, he moved his eyes to a device on the wall outside the courtyard gate.

Then there was the sound of the door being unlocked.

"The iris recognizes the door lock, and passwords or fingerprints can also be used. This is a security key." Song Jiajia handed a key to Hu Lai. "If you forget the password or when something goes wrong, you can use this key to open the door. There are two keys, and it is recommended to keep them in the car at ordinary times."

Then the two walked into the yard with the suitcase.

While walking, Song Jiajia also introduced to him: "The house on the left side of the entrance is a garage, which can park two cars. Your car in Leeds is left to Morikawa, so you have to buy another one here."

"It's okay, you can figure it out," Hu Lai said.

"Why is it up to me again? Do I still sell cars part-time?" Song Jiajia dissatisfied.

"Those who are capable work harder, those who are capable work harder, ha!"

Song Jiajia gave him a blank look, and then pointed to the right: "Over there is the lawn~lightnovelpub.net~ You can also eat here at ordinary times, don't worry about the rain, Madrid is not London... Behind the house is the backyard, and there is an outdoor constant temperature in the backyard Swimming pool. There is also a large lawn, which has been carefully maintained and is very flat. It can be directly used as a football field to play when you put on the goal. Of course, don’t use too much force when kicking the ball. Trouble..."

The front yard was not big, and the two quickly walked outside the door of the house.

Song Jiajia patted him on the shoulder: "I'm leaving, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

"Hey, you won't go in?"

"Don't knock on the door. The room is too big. If you knock on the door, if you don't hear it, just ring the doorbell." Song Jiajia pointed to a button beside the door, and after speaking, he turned and left.

Hu Lai turned to look at Song Jiajia's back, then looked up at the brightly lit villa.

He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

While waiting for the door to open, he turned around again. Seeing that Song Jiajia had just gotten into the car, she waved at him again.

Then the car drove away.

Almost at the same time, the sound of the lock cylinder turning came from the door in front of him, and the door was opened.

A beautiful figure stood in the light, and the light in the room came from behind her, passing through the loose white dress on her body, highlighting the graceful figure under the clothes in the form of shadows.

In the shadows, her eyes shone like thousands of lights gathered in one place.

A joyful voice sounded in Hu Lai's ears:

"Welcome home, Holly!"

Li Qingqing opened her arms to him.
