Chapter 68: Viewing the House
“…… In an AFC Champions League group game that ended yesterday, Anton Shining played well at home, scoring first in the second half to take the lead...... Sydney Coast equalised afterwards...... However, the young Twinkles were unfazed by the conceded goal, and they fought steadily in the ensuing game, withstanding the onslaught of the Sydney Coast and delivering a successful counter-attack in the 74th minute for Hulay to score his first AFC Champions League goal...... In the end, with goals from Qin Lin and Hu Lai, the shining stars defeated Sydney Coast 2-1 at home and helped the team win the first AFC Champions League in history...... At the same time, Qin Lin also became the oldest player to score in the AFC Champions League......"
The TV was playing the morning sports news of the CCTV sports channel.
Qin Lin sat at the dining table, enjoying the breakfast made by his wife, while listening to the news broadcast on the TV with his ears.
His wife, Wang Yuan, sat next to him and turned her head to look at the TV.
When she came back, her face was full of smiles: "Oops, finally won...... Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to mention this to you. ”
"What's the matter?" Qin Lin asked.
"Didn't we talk about buying a house before? I thought about it and felt that it was quite fun to live in this community, and instead of going out to find a house, it was better to buy it directly in this community. The wife supported her chin with her hand and said to Qin Lin, "So I took the time to look around, found a few houses, and thought about when to take you to see them...... As a result, your team hasn't won, so I don't dare to mention it to you. ”
"What's not to dare to do? I'm not going to get angry at you just because the team didn't win. Qin Lin smiled.
"No, I'm worried that after the news of us going to see the house gets out, the media fans will know about it, and they will scold your team for losing two in a row, and you still have the heart to go to see the house......"
Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, and had to admit that his wife was thoughtful.
Although he personally didn't take this seriously, his wife's concerns were reasonable.
Even if the fans are in a stable mood at the moment, they can't stand some media wanting to make a big news.
If you really hype up the matter of looking at the house, say that the flash star has lost in a row, but as the captain of the team, he has taken the time to see the new house, if he takes a few more pictures of his smiling expression and transmits it to the Internet, then won't public opinion explode?
After all, there are always some people who really think that when the players lose the game, they should be sad all day long, and they don't think about it, when will they win? When is it qualified to laugh.
At this time, when you go to buy a house by yourself and smile, isn't it okay to find trouble?
Thinking of this, Qin Lin said to his wife, "You think very thoughtfully? That's not really good. ”
"Right? So now I guess it should be fine? After all, the team won, and you have the right to breathe, ha! ”
Qin Lin was amused by his wife's "right to breathe" statement.
Two consecutive defeats in the league and AFC Champions League before? Although it's not a serious problem? But he can still feel that the low pressure in public opinion is slowly forming, and if he continues to lose, everyone may not be so tolerant of the team.
OK? In yesterday's AFC Champions League? The team withstood the pressure? In the event of an equaliser? In the end, he won.
I can really breathe.
"Your team training is going to wait until the afternoon? Shall we go and see the house this morning? The wife asked further.
After getting Qin Lin's affirmative answer? She picked up her mobile phone and began to arrange a house viewing with the sales staff of the community rental and sales center on WeChat.
The news about the flashing star on TV had passed, and Qin Lin began to concentrate on breakfast.
Because of the AFC Champions League match played last night, although it is now a double game, the head coach Zhao Kangming still gave the players who participated in the AFC Champions League a half-day off, allowing them not to go to training in the morning.
For veteran professional player Qin Lin? Did he enjoy the peace of the day? It can relax his tense nerves and body.

"Mrs. Wang, Mr. Qin? This small townhouse is not large? Perfect for your needs. At the same time, as the outermost unit of the townhouse, next to it is a large detached house, which is far away? The privacy here is guaranteed ......"
The staff of the rental and sales center in suits and leather shoes walked into the townhouse with Qin Lin and Wang Yuan.
"Although it is a second-hand house, the taste of the previous landlord is still very good, and it can be seen from the decoration of this house that it is not that dull and old style......
Qin Lin's wife, Wang Yuan, looked at the living room of the villa, the front and back are transparent, and a huge floor-to-ceiling glass door is separated between the living room and the back garden opposite, which is sound insulation but not light.
Although it was a cloudy day, you can fully imagine how bright and warm the sun was when the sun came into the living room through the south-facing glass door.
To be honest, compared to the previous house, this townhouse is really not large, but why do the three of them need such a big house?
Now the two-storey townhouse is exactly what they need.
"There is a large terrace outside the upstairs master bedroom, which is a gift area, with a very wide field of vision, unobstructed, not only can you overlook the mountains in the west here, and fully feel the thousand-year-old scenery of 'the window contains a thousand autumn snows in Xiling', or you can go to the terrace to enjoy the sunshine when there is sun......"
The salesperson's eloquence was very good, and Wang Yuan became more and more moved, but she secretly glanced at her husband and saw that he had no expression on his face, so she had to suppress her inner impulse and follow him upstairs.
After looking at the second and master bedrooms on the second floor, the salesman took two distinguished guests to what he called the terrace.
From the master bedroom there is a glass door that opens to the terrace next to the master bedroom, which is located directly above the living room on the first floor.
"Wow, the view is really wide!" Coming to the edge of the terrace, Wang Yuan looked out to the west, and as far as the eye could see, there were no high-rise buildings, only parks like natural forests. In the distance, the gray horizon is over.
With Wang Yuan's experience in Jincheng for more than a year, she believes that sales are not lying. As long as the weather is good and the visibility is high, if you look in this direction, you can indeed see the towering snow-capped mountains to the west of the city.
"Husband, look at it......" She wanted to beckon Qin Lin to come and see, but she shouted but didn't get a response.
She turned her head strangely, only to find that her husband was in a daze in the other direction.
"There's a football field in the neighborhood?" He pointed over there and asked the sales next to him.
"Ah, this...... Mr. Qin, this football field was rebuilt by the tenants of that house...... Because there was little change to the original appearance of the garden, our community agreed...... It's almost finished, and the project is in the final stages, and there is no noise and no disturb......ance," the sales quickly explained, "and it is said that this single-family villa was rented to a few players of your team, but I don't know who it is." We all want to protect the information of our guests, and we can't disclose it casually......"
Wang Yuan walked to her husband's side, and without looking for it, she saw that there was an independent large villa diagonally opposite their townhouse, and the corner of the villa was diagonally facing them, just exposing the garden behind it.
Merely...... Wang Yuan had never seen such a villa in the back garden, there were no flowers and trees, nor did she plant all kinds of vegetables, but erected a barbed wire fence and surrounded it...... Football field out?
She looked at the white line in the middle of the grassy rectangle and was sure it was the football field she was familiar with.
Just looking at the size, it seems to be a little smaller than a regular course.
"A nine-a-side football field." The husband next to her gave the answer without waiting for her to say the question in her heart.
Then he laughed and said to sales, "Okay, that's it." ”
The sales were a little surprised: "Huh? This is just the first house we're going to see today......"
Qin Lin shook his head and confirmed again: "No need, that's it." ”
Of course, Wang Yuan also likes this house, but she also knows what makes her husband make up his mind, and with a woman's intuition, she has already guessed the reason.
She continued to look at the court.
A large garden at the end of the road was turned into a football field.
And...... I didn't think anything was wrong when I looked at it.

Hu Lai sent a photo to a WeChat group called "Friends" with him, Wang Guangwei, Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi, Xia Xiaoyu and Junhei Morikawa.
Morikawa Junhei's WeChat account is after he came to China, Hu Lai taught him to apply by hand, although he still can't type Chinese, but he can send voices, and then use WeChat's own translation program to translate it, the difference is not bad, anyway, the meaning will not deviate too much.
"It's from the intermediary, we're almost finished with the stadium!" Hu Lai said in the group after posting the photo.
In the photo, it was the football field, surrounded by a barbed wire wall, with half of the white lines drawn inside, and the goal rack was in the right place, but there was no net.
In addition, there is a lamppost at each of the four corners of the stadium to provide night lighting.
It's just that the base of the lamppost is not fully installed, and there are still exposed wires.
"Wow, handsome!" Xia Xiaoyu immediately posted a thumbs up emoji.
"Awesome, when can I move in?" Wang Guangwei asked.
"The agent said that it would be almost in another week, but in fact, I can move in now, but the stadium is not used for the time being." Hulay replied.
"That's not in a hurry, let's move together when the stadium is ready, and invite my teammates to have a party when the time comes!" Zhang Qinghuan said.
Chen Xingyi: "Everyone has a party and is a big girl in the pool, let's have a party and ask my teammates to come to the house to play the group competition?" Brother Huan, you are tricking people in and killing them! ”
Junhei Morikawa sent a Japanese voice, and everyone used the translation function to see what he said: "Hu Laisan is amazing!" ”
Hulai: "It's okay to party. That's it, and when the stadium is finished, we'll move in. When the time comes, choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to move......"
Zhang Qinghuan: "You wait for me to check on the Internet to see which day is suitable for housewarming......"
Hulai: "Do you still need to look it up on the Internet?" Don't you know if you pinch your fingers? ”
Chen Xingyi: "Yo, Hu Lai didn't expect you to understand this?" ”
Hulai: "I understand a little. ”
Zhang Qinghuan: "Less nonsense, when do you say the day is good?" ”
Hulai: "As long as you can win, every day is a good day!" ”
Everyone: "Whew! ”
