Chapter 101 Tiger's Little Tail (Part 2)
Ji Li envies the Tiger family, of course, not envys Tiger as a professional player. In fact, Tiger's home is much shabby than she imagines. In her impression, what are professional players? A model of youth and wealth. A second-rate model wants to get involved in a one-night stand and then adds her fame. They flirt with beautiful women in the bar and are sought after by fans outside the court... Whether it is a prodigal son favored by beauties or a model of players who are loved by fans, they will have a big, luxurious, and magnificent home.
So when Ji Li hid outside Tiger's house in panic, she never thought that this would be the home of a professional player. Even when Tiger opened the door and let her in, she thought that the house was inconspicuous on the outside and must be very luxurious inside.
However, after coming in, she realized that this was a small living room and two smaller bedrooms, not many household appliances, the furniture was shining with an ancient and old luster, and the air was filled with a home that smelled nothing...
This is the home of professional players? Ji Li was a little surprised because this home is similar to hers...
What she envied was the atmosphere at Tiger's house. She could see that Tiger loved his parents very much, and his parents loved him very much, even a kind of spoiling. Ji Li felt that her parents had never treated her so well...
Ji Li's father is a big and thick worker. He used to like to play amateur Sunday League and was also a fan of Wimbledon. Ji Li's mother was a stunning beauty when she was young, otherwise Ji Li would not have inherited her outstanding beauty. However, she had worn out her beauty in a not-so-rich life and her temper gradually became impatient. Ji Li, who inherited her parents' personality, is also a child with a somewhat impatient personality, so she would yell with her parents at any time. The warm atmosphere like the Tiger family seemed to have never been in her home...
However, the next morning, Ji Li's idea became quite loose.
At eight o'clock in the morning, before Ji Li got up, she heard her parents' anxious voice in the living room. When she rubbed her eyes sleepily and walked out of the room, her mother suddenly came over and shouted Ji Li's name in tears: "Ji Li, my poor little Ji Li... It's all my mother's fault. Mom will never quarrel with you again, okay?"
Her father held Tiger's hand and kept shouting: "Thank you, thank you, Tiger, if you go to play against Wimbledon again, I won't boo you!" Tiger was a little amused and crying.
This made Ji Li happy. It seemed that her parents still care about her...
In fact, this is completely a mistake for Ji Li. Her parents have a relatively impatient temper, but it does not mean they don’t love her. Yesterday, after discovering that Ji Li was missing, Ji Li’s parents were so anxious that they almost hanged. They couldn’t find Ji Li everywhere and wanted to call the police, but they couldn’t file a case because it didn’t take more than twenty-four hours. Until the evening, Jones found Ji Li’s home through other drinkers in the bar and told them about Ji Li’s whereabouts. They were relieved.
Even so, Ji Li's parents took the tram from Wimbledon to Preston early in the morning, and they appeared in Preston so early.
After expressing his gratitude to Tiger's family, Ji Li's parents were going to take Ji Li home, but Ji Li pouted and disagreed.
"I want to play here in Tiger for a few days before going back... My homework has been done! You don't have much time to accompany me when you are at home!"
Ji Li's words made her parents feel a little ashamed. Her father was a worker, and her mother often worked in a supermarket. She usually didn't spend much time with Ji Li, so Ji Li used to play alone in that bar. Now that they are back, they really don't have much time to spend with Ji Li.
"Or let Ji Li stay at our house for a few days. My old lady basically has nothing to do anyway, so she can accompany Ji Li." Old Li came out to smooth things over and said, firstly because he was kind-hearted, and secondly, Old Li always wanted to have a daughter. It would be good to have a son and a daughter in the minds of Chinese people. Unfortunately, my wife's belly has been unsatisfied, and there was no movement after giving birth to Tiger. Now Old Li has also lost her desire to have a second child. Ji Li can live at home for a few days, which is to fulfill Lao Li's wish to have two children to a certain extent...
Louisa also likes Xiao Jili, who is so beautiful that she has no objection to this.
Ji Li's parents discussed it for a while, and felt that Ji Li was really bored at home during the summer vacation. In addition, Ji Li was not worried about living in Tiger's house for a while. At worst, we could come and see it every few days. After all, Tiger was a public figure and would not do anything to abduct Ji Li. So Ji Li's father turned his head and said to Lao Li: "Then I'll trouble you... By the way, we will definitely pay for Ji Li's food and accommodation costs."
"No need." Old Li said with a smile: "How much can a little guy eat? Our family likes Xiao Jili very much. Just treat it as a friend's child to come to our house for a while. Do you still ask you for food and accommodation? Don't joke."
Ji Li's parents insisted on making up for it, but Lao Li refused. After both sides gave in for a long time, Lao Li won the victory. However, the main reason was that Ji Li's parents remembered that Tiger was a professional player, and they must have a much higher income than the two of them who were not even middle-class people...
After confirming this, Ji Li's parents warned Ji Li to be obedient at the Tiger house and to put away her temper. Lao Li kept the other party at home for lunch, and Ji Li's parents chose to say goodbye.
"Don't listen to your parents. You can do whatever you want in our house. Don't be too polite." Old Li turned around and smiled and said to Ji Li.
"Yes." Ji Li nodded obediently, and saw Lao Li and Louisa were happy again.
From this day on, there was a small tail around Tiger.
"Where is Brother Tiger?"
When Ji Li walked out of the room with her sleepy eyes rubbed her sleepy eyes, Louisa was the only one left in the room. Old Li went to a fruit stall early in the morning.
"Oh, he's going to train." Louisa brought out two slices of toast and a bowl of oatmeal: "Eat quickly, otherwise it's almost cold."
Ji Li looked at her watch and it was only less than nine o'clock now... Last night she played live football games with Tiger in her brother Tiger's room and played until eleven o'clock in the evening...
While having breakfast, Ji Li asked, "Aunt Louisa, Brother Tiger, does he go to train for so long every day?"
"This has been like this for more than a year." Louisa replied after thinking about it: "He was a little lazy before and didn't play football well. However, he has been much more diligent this year. He went to train very early every day and came back very late, so that he could play the main player in the team."
Louisa said in a show-off: "He has increased his salary this season, and he has two thousand pounds a week! He is now more promising than us and earns more money than his father."
Feeling Louisa's pride, Ji Li also felt a little happy. If she could become as promising as Brother Tiger in the future, her parents would be as proud, right? But what can she do in the future?
After breakfast, Ji Libai stayed bored for a while and suddenly said, "Aunt Louisa, can we go see if Brother Tiger trains well?"
When Louisa heard this, she was startled and said hesitantly: "It's not good to do this, it will be bad if he disturbs his training..."
"Go and take a look, just stay away and don't let him discover it." Ji Li said excitedly: "I want to see how he trains! Aunt Louisa, don't you want to see it?"
"I want to see it, but I don't know where he trains..." Louisa continued to hesitate: "And, there must be someone guarding the place where he trains, we may not be able to get in."
"I just asked all the way. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the family. Then tell the guard that you are Tiger's mother, and I am Tiger's sister, so I will go in and see him train."
After saying this, Ji Li excitedly pulled Louisa out of the door, leaving Louisa helplessly shouting: "Ji Li, I want to lock the door..."
Ji Li really knows how to inquire, but it is no secret to Preston's training ground. Fans often watch on the training ground of the first team and wait for the end of the training to ask for autographs. However, there are not many people going to the training ground at this time, after all, the team's training camp has not yet begun.
After asking a few passers-by, Ji Li found out where the Preston training ground was located. The next thing was simple. After finding the training ground, Ji Li told the guard that they were Tiger's family, and there was obviously no harm in a little girl and a middle-aged woman. The guard just asked a few questions and let them in...
"Wow, the place is so big, it doesn't seem to be smaller than Wimbledon's training base." Ji Li sighed as she walked inside.
In fact, in terms of history, Preston is much older than Wimbledon, and its infrastructure is no less inferior to Wimbledon, who became a professional club in the 1950s.
The training bases of football clubs in the world are actually similar. Ji Li is familiar with the search inside, while Louisa is quite a bit like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden...
Finally, after turning a tree-lined path, Ji Li and Louisa saw Tiger sweating profusely on the training ground...
