Chapter 114: Merry Christmas

Thanks to Schneider, Zhou Yi earned a hundred euros, which for his father and mother was almost one-third of their respective salaries. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

also received a kiss from a beautiful woman, even though the beauty was just playing on the spot.

But anyway, after this trip to the bar, Zhou Yi's low mood caused by homesickness finally improved.

Young people are always easy to divert their attention, even if they are depressed, they will not be depressed for too long, otherwise they will be depressed.

And Zhou Yi is obviously not a person who can get depression.

On Christmas Eve, Zhou Yi made a phone call with his parents who were far away in China, reported the recent situation, and greeted his parents with a happy holiday.

On the phone, Dad was still verbose, and Mom still didn't talk much.

Listening to the voices of his parents, Zhou Yi's restless heart completely calmed down.

In the month of being away, Zhou Yi has an unprecedented understanding of the concept of "home".

In the past, home was a very bookish concept, and when it came to "home", it would not have any meaning other than the dictionary explanation.

But now, Zhou Yi's understanding of "home" is more real and profound.

Whenever he felt depressed and depressed, he would regain the motivation to continue fighting when he thought of his parents at home.

The saying I used to see in books was that "home is a safe haven".

But Zhou Yi felt that if "home" was a port, it was not used to shelter from the wind, but to refuel and replenish.

Home is the starting point of every journey, and the return place at the end of every journey.

Home is both the beginning and the end.

Home is the brightest star in the night sky, whenever the wanderer is lost in the night and looks up at the night sky, the brightest star can always guide him to find the way forward and give him the courage to continue walking.

After the call with his parents, the Mark family had a very lavish Christmas Eve dinner together in the evening local time.

Even Konata, who rarely goes home, rushed back.

The girl who looked arrogant and aggressive on the outside put away the edge of her body at home and looked like an ordinary daughter and sister.

Zhou Yi looked at her like this, it was really difficult to relate her performance in the bar that day.

After Konata saw him, she also behaved very normally, whether it was her eyes or expression, she didn't let Zhou Yi see the slightest embarrassment. It seems that she has forgotten the scene with which she was so passionate.

However, Zhou Yi was still a little embarrassed when he saw Cortana, and his eyes would always unconsciously fall on Cortana's two lips, reminiscing about the original feeling.

Zhou Yi had some fantasies about his first kiss, but none of them happened in a foreign bar with dim lights and noisy music, and a woman who didn't see him as submissive.

Seeing that Cortana didn't seem to care about kissing at all, Zhou Yi had to sigh that foreign women were really open, and at the same time couldn't help but wonder if Cortana was very experienced in that aspect?

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Yi's heart was a little confused.

Such an arrogant woman would be a very open person in that regard?

Zhou Yi felt that it was too divisive, and it was really difficult for him to understand and imagine......

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi!"

Mark was calling him, calling him back to God.

"Huh?"

"Merry Christmas!" Mark's mother, Mrs. Wagner, brought a packed goodie bag. "It's your first Christmas in our house, Zhou Yi. I hope you enjoy this little gift. ”

Zhou Yi saw the gift and hesitated: "But I didn't prepare a gift......

"Hey, you don't need to prepare a gift. Mark hurriedly said, "Take it!"

Zhou Yi wrote about Mrs. Wagner and took the gift.

He remembered that foreigners seemed to be polite about opening gifts on the spot, but just as he was about to open the gifts, old Wagner came up with a gift box on the ground: "Merry Christmas, Zhou Yi!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wagner. Zhou Yi took the gift.

Mark also handed over a gift: "I have a gift too!"

"Thank you Mark, but I didn't return the gift, so I had to give you a kiss!" Zhou Yi jokingly went to kiss Mark.

"Thanks, I'm not interested in men!" Mark quickly dodged.

The two living treasures made Wagner's parents laugh.

But after Zhou Yi and Mark finished arguing, they saw Cortana's smiling face: "I also have a gift, Merry Christmas." ”

When he saw Cortana, the expression on Zhou Yi's face was a little embarrassed.

He always felt that the faint smile on Cortana's face seemed to have some other deep meaning, was it mockery, or was it teasing him?

Because he joked with Mark about "kiss" before, and this happens to be the key word between him and Cortana.

Was it my own joking words that made Cortana misunderstand something?

He hurriedly accepted Cortana's gift and said thank you.

Now that the gifts are all collected, it's time to unpack them.

The giver seemed to be more excited and looking forward to it than the person receiving the gift, and Mark and his mother kept urging Zhou Yi to open the gift.

Zhou Yi opened it in the order of receiving gifts, the first one was given by Mrs. Wagner, inside was a scarf with a good texture, Zhou Yi wrapped it around his neck, and suddenly felt that the circle around his neck was hot and warm.

Mrs. Wagner saw Zhou Yi wearing a scarf and smiled: "It's quite a match, fortunately, I'm still afraid that the color doesn't match." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Wagner, I love it!"

The old Wagner gave a pair of sneakers, and Zhou Yi also tried it, which fit well and were very comfortable to wear.

Mark sent a pair of ...... PS3 handle.

"Limited edition, just for you!" Mark said smugly.

Zhou Yi looked at the black handle in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, it was very ordinary, there was no limited edition appearance, and as for how to own himself, he couldn't see it at all.

"Turn it over. Mark said.

Zhou Yi flipped the handle over, only to find that a Chinese character "Zhou" had been carved crookedly with a knife on the back of the handle...... It's a mess of a handle that's been scratched by a knife.

"Mark pro-made, Zhou Yi's exclusive limited edition handle! the only one in the world!" Mark raised his hands and announced triumphantly after seeing Zhou Yi discover this.

Zhou Yi suppressed the movement of rolling his eyes and said, "I thank you!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, hehe!" Mark really didn't hear the opposite in Zhou Yi's tone at all.

In the end, all that remained was Cortana's gift.

After Zhou Yi unpacked the simple package, a book appeared in front of him. The title of the book is......

"How to get out of singleness. Study hard, Chinese boy. Cortana winked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked at her smile, listened to her tone, and then looked down at the book in his hand, he felt a deep ...... from Cortana Malicious!

Is this ridiculing that he is a junior brother!

Damn, what's wrong with Brother Chu! Brother Chu also has human rights, and Brother Chu also has dignity!

So Zhou Yi glared at Cortana fiercely, and Cortana, who was glared at by him, still had a faint smile on her face, as if she was laughing at Zhou Yi.

Christmas is the most important holiday in the West, similar in importance to the Chinese New Year.

So during Christmas, the Bundesliga will be shut down and have a holiday.

German football is different from English football, in Germany there is a winter break.

The winter break usually starts from mid-December until the end of January and the beginning of February, and players can enjoy a half-month break to relax and rest before gathering for training in early January next year to prepare for the second half of the season.

On Christmas Eve, the most important thing in German football is the winter break title.

This year, the winter break championship surprisingly belonged to a small team, a very, very small team from Hoffenheim, a small town with a population of only 3,000.

The team has only been promoted from the Bundesliga to the first division this season. When they first entered the first division, no one took them seriously and no one took them to heart, and analysts judged their future to be relegated back to the second division after one season, and the Bundesliga is not a game that a small team like them can afford.

But when the league began, Hoffenheim shocked the whole of Germany and even the whole of Europe with an incredible performance.

They won 11 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in 17 league games, and finally won the winter break championship!

This simply stunned the whole of Germany.

You know, in the Bundesliga, the winter break championship is very important. According to statistics, the team that won the championship during the winter break has a 70% chance of winning the league title. In the 45-year history of the Bundesliga, 31 winter break champions have been crowned champions.

Around Christmas, TV, newspapers, the Internet and radio are all talking about whether Hoffenheim will repeat the "Kaiserslautern myth".

Kaiserslautern finished last in the Bundesliga in the 1995-1996 season, relegated to the second division. They finished first in the Bundesliga the following season and won the league title in their first season in the Bundesliga in 1997-1998.

However, if Hoffenheim can win the Bundesliga, they will be even more magical than Kaizi Slautern back then.

Because Kaizi Slautern was already a strong team before the relegation, they won the Bundesliga in the 1990-1991 season. It's a team with a lot of stuff.

But what about Hoffenheim, who were a small team entertaining themselves in 1989, playing in Germany's seventh tier and relegated to eighth tier that year......

They then started a seven-game jump, and this season they have shocked the world.

It was so influential that even the city of Dortmund was full of people talking about Hoffenheim.

The fact that a grassroots team can win the Bundesliga halfway is an inspirational role model.

It also brought a lot of touch to Zhou Yi.

In his opinion, Hoffenheim is his role model, and what they can do, they can do.

Hoffenheim finished first in the Bundesliga, so why can't he triple jump in Borussia Dortmund's youth team?

From Under-17 to Under-19 and then to the first team!

So even if he was on vacation, Zhou Yi did not forget to insist on his physical training.

His biggest problem now is poor fitness, and strength and conditioning coach Bartlett told him that jogging at a constant pace in the park does not improve his fitness, and that the most important thing in fitness is the ability to recover during the interval.

So he changed his strategy and instead of jogging at a constant pace in the park, he changed to jogging after a sprint, jogging for a certain distance and then continuing to sprint for a distance.

And so on and so forth, training his body's aerobic recovery capacity after anaerobic exercise.
