Chapter 20 The days are still long(1/2)
"Good morning, Qingqing, Hu Lai!"
When Song Jiajia came in, she immediately saw two people eating in the restaurant.
By the way, Hu Lai already knew that Song Jiajia was right. In fact, his house was really high-tech.
Take opening the door for example.
Just after Song Jiajia rang the doorbell outside, an image was displayed on a screen in the restaurant, which showed Song Jiajia's face and the surrounding situation.
Then Li Qingqing did not get up to open the door, but opened an APP on his mobile phone, operated it, and the door opened by itself.
So actually yesterday she went to the door specifically to greet Hu Lai.
"Good morning, Lao Song, do you want to eat together?" Li Qingqing invited him.
Song Jiajia shook her head: "I ate it in the hotel."
"Then I'll get you a glass of water." Li Qingqing turned and walked towards the Zhongdao dining table.
"Okay, thank you!"
"That's too polite, ha!" Li Qingqing laughed.
Song Jiajia looked away, looked at Hu Lai and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
"It's good. I slept until dawn and woke up naturally." Hu Lai replied to Song Jiajia while spreading jam on his toast.
This answer surprised Song Jiajia, and his eyes widened: "You can actually sleep well?"
"Why can't I sleep well? I don't recognize the bed."
After Song Jiajia glanced at Li Qingqing, she lowered her voice slightly and said: "A breakup is better than a wedding, how can you bear it? I am going to be impressed by you. Could it be that you are the legendary modern Liu Xiahui?"
Although he lowered his voice, the other two people still heard his words clearly because the restaurant was so big.
So his operation of lowering his voice is more like a "show of respect". It's like when people are talking about secrets, even if there are no outsiders around, they will lower their volume reflexively.
When he said this, Li Qingqing, who was getting water for Song Jiajia from the automatic heat preservation kettle, blushed.
Hu Lai wanted to sleep with her yesterday, but considering that he had to have a physical examination today, just in case, Li Qingqing slept in a separate room with him. After all, the transfer to Madrid Pirates is a top priority. In front of this matter, all the
Things have to give way.
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment and then quickly explained: "Hey, you said this...I slept in a separate room yesterday."
"Sleeping in a separate room? Why?" Song Jiajia was even more surprised.
"It's because Qingqing..."
Hu Lai's explanation was interrupted by Li Qingqing. She handed the water glass to Song Jiajia: "Old Song, drink water."
"Ah? Oh, okay..." Song Jiajia picked up the cup and brought it to her mouth reflexively.
But as soon as the water entered his mouth, he sprayed it out: "Hot, hot, hot! So hot!"
Li Qingqing covered her mouth and widened her eyes: "Ah, I'm sorry! I forgot to drink some cold water... Are you okay, Lao Song?"
Song Jiajia covered her mouth with one hand, raised her hand with the other, and said vaguely: "Uh huh huh..."
Li Qingqing quickly went to the refrigerator and poured a glass of ice water out and handed it to him: "This time it's iced!"
Hu Lai saw this scene and couldn't help but complain: "Fat man, why are you so careless? Can't you see the steam coming from the cup?"
Song Jiajia gave him a resentful look. If I hadn't been so focused on listening to you talk about what happened between you and Qingqing last night, why wouldn't I even feel the heat on my face?

"I've finished eating. Should we go?" Hu Lai clapped his hands and stood up from the table.
"Yes, yes." Song Jiajia nodded and answered him. He had no problem speaking. After all, he spat out the boiled water as soon as he entered his mouth, so it actually didn't do anything wrong.
Hu Lai turned around and asked Li Qingqing: "Then how do you go about training?"
"I'll take a taxi, you don't have to worry about me." Li Qingqing leaned on the kitchen island and waved.
"You can't take a taxi every day? Can you drive?"
Li Qingqing said: "I took the driver's license test in China, but I haven't driven much..."
Hu Lai turned to look at Song Jiajia. Of course, this kind of matter must be resolved by their manager, Xiaojiazi.
When Li Qingqing saw this, he also cast his gaze over.
Song Jiajia, who was being watched by the two people, waved her hand: "Qingqing, it's easy if you have a driver's license. You can apply for a translation certification first, so that you can drive legally in Spain."
"Okay, is it that simple?" Li Qingqing was a little surprised that this matter could be solved so easily.
Song Jiajia quickly poured cold water on her: "But this translation certification is only valid for six months. It can no longer be used after the validity period."
"Then what should I do?" Li Qingqing frowned.
"If you want to continue driving, you have to learn and then take the Spanish driver's license."
"I still have to learn a driver's license..." Thinking of this, Li Qingqing had a headache. It took her almost a year to get her domestic driver's license intermittently. Of course, she didn't mean that learning to drive was difficult for her.
, but because as a professional player, she doesn’t have much time to learn to drive. In China, there are mandatory learning hours for driving licenses. Even if you can already drive, you still have to get enough hours before you can sign up.
To take the exam, she could only learn intermittently and intermittently, so it took a year.
"This is actually very easy. If you drive in Spain for half a year with a Chinese driver's license, it is equivalent to familiarizing yourself with how to drive. After all, you have learned a driver's license, and you have mastered the basic car operation knowledge and skills. And it is automatic transmission.
The car looks just like a toy car, and there is no difficulty. Think of these six months as a refresher, and you will be able to get started soon. Spain is not the UK, and here all cars are left-hand drive, just like in our country."
"Okay." Li Qingqing agreed.
"What about me? I have a British driver's license." Hu Lai asked, pointing to himself.
"A British driver's license can be directly exchanged for a Spanish driver's license without taking a test." Song Jiajia first answered Hu Lai's question, then turned to Li Qingqing:
"You have no problem with the road test, and the rest is the theoretical test. The main reason is that some of the rules are different from those in our country, but it is actually not difficult."
Li Qingqing looked embarrassed: "But I don't know Spanish yet..."
"It's okay, let Hu Lai teach you. By the way, it can also be used as an opportunity to learn Spanish."
Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai, who patted her chest: "I like it best when people call me sir."
That's it for the driver's license.
Hu Lai and Song Jiajia are also leaving.

As soon as she got into the car, Song Jiajia couldn't wait to ask Hu Lai while fastening her seat belt: "What happened to you and Qingqing last night?"
Hu Lai told Song Jiajia what Li Qingqing said to him yesterday.
Before he finished speaking, Song Jiajia was already laughing so much that she slapped the steering wheel.
"You're still laughing!" Hu Lai glared at him.
Song Jiajia was still laughing, but she had restrained herself a lot, from laughing loudly to smiling: "I understand you, ha, Hu Lai! But this is only the first day in Madrid, and you still have a long time ahead! Don't worry
.”
"I'm not in a hurry, so I slept well last night." Hu Lai curled his lips.
"Well, I was indeed worried about your lack of energy in front of the media and fans... Today is a grand welcome ceremony. It is said that nearly 20,000 Madrid Pirates fans will go to Pirates Park in the afternoon to witness your arrival.
."
Pirates Park is not a park, but a football stadium called Pirates Park. It is the home stadium of Madrid Pirates and can accommodate 80,000 people. The five-star stadium certified by UEFA is fully worthy of the status of Madrid Pirates as a wealthy club.
"Wow, that was indeed a big scene." Hu Lai recalled that when he went to Leeds City, there seemed to be only more than 200 people present, and most of them were Chinese faces. The local fans were not interested in him.
Time has passed, and now he is no longer a nobody.
※※※
In the morning, Hu Lai first went to the San Antonio clinic for a physical examination.
"Clinics" in Europe and the United States are different from "clinics" in China. In China, when talking about "clinics", everyone will think of the small shop on the street, which doesn't seem very serious. People usually have a headache or a cold.
Go to a small clinic like this near your community and get some medicine.
If you really have a serious illness, you still have to go to a tertiary hospital.
But in European and American countries, the size of a clinic can be no less than a hospital.
The "San Antonio Clinic" that Hulay went to is actually the official partner of Madrid Pirates Club and the designated medical institution for medical examinations of new players after joining.
In the past fifteen years, every newly joined pirate will undergo a physical examination here. He will lie on the bed with electromagnetic sheets attached to his body and connected to wires. Then he will half sit up and give a thumbs up to the reporter's camera. Leaving a trace
A memorable photo.
The same goes for Hu Lai.
The car stopped at the entrance of the clinic and Hu Lai got out of the car.
He waved and smiled at the cameras of the media reporters waiting there.
The fans cheered.
In addition to some Madrid Pirates fans, there are also many Chinese students. Some of them should not be Madrid Pirates fans, because they are wearing the Chinese national team jersey. The red Chinese team jersey is very popular among a group of Pirates fans wearing blue.
