The house that Zhou Yi bought is in the bustling area of ​​Dortmund. He did not buy it in the wealthy area where his teammates gathered. There are single-family villas with private gardens and lawns, which are very quiet and safe.

Zhouyi bought a luxurious apartment building, which can be promoted by real estate developers as a large house that is "flat-floor villa" in China. If it is not counted as garden lawns, the area of ​​the houses bought by Zhouyi is not much different from those single-family villas. But it is indeed not convenient to have a garden and a lawn. For example, it is not convenient to sunbathe or hold a swimming pool party, so it cannot attract a large number of beauties in bikini to come and support...

But Zhou Yi doesn't care. He is not as obsessed with the wheat-colored skin produced by sunbathing like Europeans and Americans, and he is more worried about skin problems caused by excessive exposure to the sun. He doesn't like to let a lot of high-end *********** in his home that can be attracted by spending money. Why should he buy such high-end apartments?

Because he was attracted by this high-end apartment, it was in the center of Dortmund, with shopping malls and bustling markets next to it. It was very convenient to buy and eat.

In addition, the management of high-end apartments is very good, which is the kind of hotel-style apartments. In fact, this apartment is mainly for rent, but it can also be bought. Zhou Yi decided to buy it directly. He had a small goal, that is, every time he transferred to a new place, he would buy a property in that place, and he would live in it when he played football here. He left after transferring, and he would not sell or rent it out. He just needed to find someone to clean and take care of it regularly.

This goal is a bit petty-skinned. Compared with Sun Pan's goal of finding a beautiful girl to be his girlfriend whenever he goes to a place, he is so vulgar...

Apartment management provides various services including cleaning and laundry, and also has good security. It will not happen that you will find a group of paparazzi hidden in the bushes across the road as soon as you open the door. Without the permission of the residents or room cards, ordinary people can only move in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment, and the elevator cannot be accessed.

Considering these aspects, Zhou Yi finally chose this hotel-style apartment.

On the first night of the move, Zhou Yi slept alone in the large bedroom, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The bedroom is so big, even larger than the living room of the new house he bought for his parents in China, and the bed is three meters wide... Zhou Yi was not used to sleeping on such a huge bed - he had never slept with such a big bed in his life, so big that he didn't dare to sleep in the middle, because it would be too troublesome to get out of bed.

But it was not because of the bed that couldn't sleep, but because he was the only one in this spacious and huge house.

Zhou Yi even felt a little scared. What if he got into a thief... But think about it, the security personnel in this apartment looked like Kong Wu was powerful and seemed to be safe and worry-free?

But what if it is an internal thief?

Zhou Yi's thinking began to diverge.

As soon as Zhou Yi's thinking became scattered, he couldn't stop it, but he didn't care so much about the discomfort of sleeping alone in a big house.

In the divergent thinking, Zhou Yi gradually fell asleep.

However, when he got up the next day, walked out of the bedroom and came to the spacious living room, dining room and kitchen, he still felt lonely. In the past, if Cortana was there, she should have prepared breakfast at this time...

Hey... Zhou Yi shook his head. Why did he suddenly think of this? What does it have to do with Cortana?

The situation of staying alone in the vacant room will improve in a few days because my parents will come at that time.

This room should be more popular by then.

But Zhou Yi didn't know how long his parents planned to stay in Dortmund, whether they would stay for a week, a month, or longer?

In fact, Zhou Yi has no hope for his parents to live here for a long time. He usually has to train and compete, and he doesn't have much time to stay at home to spend with his parents. In Dortmund, a place where he is unfamiliar with his place, the two elders cannot even speak. If they leave him, they may not even be able to leave the door. At that time, they can only be in the room every day. No matter how big or beautiful the house is, they will probably be bored after watching it for a long time.

After analyzing it rationally, Zhou Yi felt that his parents could stay here for a month and loved him deeply...

※※※

On August 28, the whole Dortmund team flew to Prague, the capital of Czech Republic, to prepare for the match against Chelsea.

On the same day, Zhou Yi did not go to Prague with his teammates, but flew to Monaco with club CEO Vatsk and sports director Zorke to participate in the Champions League group draw and the European Best Player Awards held the next afternoon.

In the hotel, he met his parents who came half a day earlier than him.

The Dortmund Club has very considerately booked a suite for Zhou Yi, with two bedrooms and a living room, so that Zhou Yi can live with his parents without having to live separately.

After Vatsk took him to the room, he closed the door and left. When the family reunites, he should not make light bulbs next to him.

Seeing his successful son, Li Cuiyun, who is a mother, was very happy.

But father Zhou Jianliang frowned: "Why are you dressing so casually?"

Zhou Yi looked down at his T-shirt and jeans, and was very strange: "What's wrong?"

"Are you planning to wear this body to receive the award?" Zhou Jianliang decided to come, so he firmly believed that his son could win the award.

Zhou Yi then realized what his father was saying, so he smiled and said, "Hey, I've hung up the formal clothes. It's going to be a ceremony tomorrow. Why am I wearing so serious now..."

"Your dad wishes he could sleep in this outfit." Li Cuiyun next to her teased her pointing at the suit on her husband.

"What nonsense... We're going abroad for the first time, of course we'll have to be more formal..." Zhou Jianliang felt a little embarrassed.

Zhou Yi looked at his father who was wearing a suit, tied a tie and applied hairspray on his head. In addition to his lack of spirit in long-distance travel, he was simply the most serious father in recent years.

"Dad, you weren't that handsome when you got married!"

I don’t know if Zhou Yi said this or was teasing his father or praising him.

So after hearing this, Zhou Jianliang didn't know whether to laugh or get angry...

He raised his hands, but in the end he didn't give it to his son.

Zhou Yi asked his mother with a smile: "Have you eaten? Why don't I invite you to a big meal?"

"Just eat something casually..." Mom is used to saving money.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Jianliang was looking forward to the big meal.

So Zhou Yi took his parents and had a meal in the hotel restaurant. He said it was a big meal, but in fact he didn't eat much. After a long-distance flight, his parents' appetite was not very good.

But Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun still had a foreign food. This was their first time going abroad in their lives. In the past, they always heard that relatives and friends went abroad to travel with groups, to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States... Unexpectedly, they went directly to a "free trip" for the first time abroad.

Of course, this is all blessing to the son.

While having a meal, Zhou Yi asked his parents how long they planned to live in Dortmund with him this time.

He hoped that his parents would live for a longer period of time, but as he expected, his mother said she would go back to work in the workplace, and it would be bad for taking leave for too long. So she might not be able to live for even a month and she had to leave.

Then he talked about asking his mother to resign. Although Zhou Yi and Zhou Jianliang were both persuading him, Li Cuiyun's attitude was very firm.

"I will definitely not resign, nor will I retire early." Li Cuiyun shook her head, her tone was not excited, but her attitude was firm. "This has nothing to do with income, I just want a job."

"You can work even if you quit. My son is so rich. You can invest in one and start a company by yourself!" Zhou Jianliang continued to encourage his wife next to him. He had resigned long ago. Of course, he hoped that his wife would also resign. What's the point of doing in a lifeless state-owned enterprise job? Office politics is really a headache.

"I'm not the source of running a company." Li Cuiyun continued to shake her head. "I don't want to start a business even when I'm fifty."

"No, you are really boring to do your job now..." Zhou Yi didn't want his mother to stay in her current unit.

"I know you are for my own good." Li Cuiyun looked at her son and said. "But you have your career and life, and your mother also has her own work and life. I forced you not to play football at the beginning, which was considered to be an interference with you. I didn't expect that it was your turn to persuade me now..." At this point, she laughed. "But I still hope you can respect my choice, son. You don't want your mother to stay at home every day, and call you to harass you when you have nothing to do, and become a resentful woman, right?"

Zhou Yi thought about the scene, then shook his head and said, "I don't want it. If my mother becomes that kind of person, it's simply unimaginable!"

"So, I stayed in my original unit. Although the efficiency was poor, I still had a lot of work to do. And now I have to ask you for my blessings, and there are fewer people who gossip and cause trouble. I feel more comfortable than before..."

Seeing that his mother was very firm and what she said was very reasonable, Zhou Yi no longer forced herself. Just as he was unwilling to interfere with his own choices, he certainly could not interfere with his other people's choices. He Ying and Sun Pan did this, and of course he could not violate this principle for his mother.

Zhou Yi stopped persuading him, and Zhou Jianliang could not continue to persuade him. At home, what he said was far less effective than what his son said, especially when he was about his wife.

Li Cuiyun actually knew that her husband and son were both for her own good, especially her son, who is now promising and making a lot of money. If he really stopped working and retired at home in advance, he would never spend all his money in his lifetime. If he wanted to start a company, start a business, or something, he would be fine.

But she doesn't want to do this.

She raised her own children so that he could live independently and resiliently in this society in the future, rather than lying on him, sucking his blood and gnawing his flesh. She has her own job, has a fixed salary every month, and occasionally has some benefits. She can live a self-sufficient life, so why should she give up?

Compared with her son, her income is very low and insignificant. But that is also the fruit of her own labor and the basis for supporting herself. She does not want to become her husband or her son's dependence.

So this question has nothing to do with money.
