There is a dream called football

Dudek drove Li Qiao around the suburbs of Liverpool for two hours, but Li Qiao didn't see a house for sale.

Perhaps the beautiful environment of Porto spoiled Li Qiao. The reference in his mind was always the two-story building there, which smelled of sea breeze.

While Li Qiao was deep in thought, Dudek said: "The place just now is pretty good. There is a yard where you can play football."

"But I always feel like something is missing."

"Haha, I know, we are missing a hostess."

sweat.

"Li Qiao, I'm wondering, since your guy is coming to Liverpool, why don't you take her with you to look at the house."

"I want to give her a surprise."

"Okay, let's have something to eat and then continue looking."

"ok."

*****

Lorinda looked at her newly renovated shop and turned to look at the Merseyside River, feeling very proud.

"Daughter, are you satisfied now?"

"Well, there is a restaurant downstairs and people live above. It feels similar to what we have in Porto."

"A bit small."

"Haha, this is England, things are expensive."

That’s right!

The UK is different from other countries. It is a completely open market, whether it is football or real estate, so it is normal for buyers from all over the world to be expensive.

"By the way, when will you tell Li Qiao?" Sosa asked.

"Wait a little longer, I want to give him a surprise."

Sosa and Lorinda have been in Liverpool for two weeks, but they have always kept it secret from Li Qiao in order to open the restaurant first.

Anyone who has been to Europe knows that European restaurants are not as luxurious as in China, but rather simple, so there are not too many decoration problems.

*****

Li Qiao's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Uncle, you have come to Liverpool. I will pick you up."

Lorinda grabbed the phone and asked, "Can you drive now?"

sweat.

"No, but I have teammates."

"Forget it."

"No, you are not familiar with the place in Liverpool, I must go."

"Haha, okay then, come on."

Lorinda and Sosa took a ride to the airport. Sosa was very unhappy and said, "Daughter, you are really good at playing. We have already settled in. Is it necessary to go to the airport to meet?"

"Old man, you don't understand, this is fun."

Li Qiao was waiting eagerly at the airport. Of course, it was impossible for him to see Lorinda and Sosa at the passenger passage.

Suddenly the phone rang.

"Hey, where are you?"

"It's outside the airport."

"..."

"But I didn't see you."

"Maybe you're late."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is impossible, because when Li Qiao arrived, the flight from Porto had not yet arrived.

But Li Qiao didn't think much and hurriedly ran outside the airport.

"Uncle, Lorinda."

Li Qiao was a little excited to meet again after a long absence. In Europe, these are his relatives. They have been with him day and night for two years.

Li Qiao first hugged Sousa, then hugged Lorinda tightly and pecked her on the cheek.

“Aren’t British girls beautiful?”

“Haha, it’s far worse than Portugal.”

"Really?"

"I asked you two, can you stop getting tired of it? I can't stand it anymore."

"Ha ha."

"Let's go."

Li Qiao mistakenly thought that Sousa and Lorinda had already booked a hotel, and the phrase "let's go" meant going to the hotel.

The car drove for about 30 minutes and arrived at the business district along the river. Lorinda got off the bus after paying the fare.

"Is this the hotel you booked?"

"No, I want to take a walk."

"Okay, I'll take you to a place later."

"Where?"

"Confidentiality."

Li Qiao has already set his sights on a house, and he will make a decision after Lorinda and Sosa take a look at it.

"Mysterious, don't tell me you're married."

hehe.

Li Qiaoqian laughed a few times.

Suddenly, the three of them walked to a restaurant. Li Qiao was stunned, "This place looks like our home in Porto."

“It turns out there are authentic Portuguese restaurants in Liverpool, but I never knew about them.”

"hehe."

Li Qiao took another closer look and found something was wrong. Not only did this place look like the Seagull Restaurant, it was copied exactly as it was.

"This... is plagiarism. Even the name has not been changed. It is also called Seagull Restaurant."

Li Qiao was talking to himself, and the two people beside him were watching the show with great interest. Li Qiao suddenly realized: "This can't be ours..."

Lorinda clapped her hands and said, "By the way, this is my restaurant, moved here."

Li Qiao was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

"this……"

"I don't even know what to say, I'm so surprised."

"This is my surprise for you. From now on, this will be our home in Liverpool."

Li Qiao was so excited that he hugged Lorinda tightly, "I love you."

"I know."

"Haha, you two like to show off your affection on the street. Don't you know that British people are more conservative?"

"Come in and take a look."

Entering the restaurant, the tables, chairs and benches are all new. It doesn't have the quaint flavor of a Porto restaurant, but it's not bad either.

Li Qiao pulled up his chair and sat down, "Where's the chef?"

"I found it in the UK and was trained by my father, so it shouldn't be bad."

"Hey, want to try some elbow?"

"That's great, but it's not open yet."

Li Qiao knew that doing business in the UK was definitely not easy, so he suggested: "Then I'll invite some teammates over for dinner to help you gain popularity."

"That's great. Let's invite the most famous one named Gerald."

"hehe."

At this moment, Li Qiao's phone rang.

"Do you want that house or not? Now two families are also talking to me. If I hadn't given you the deposit, I would have rented it out long ago."

"this……"

"No more."

“The deposit is non-refundable.”

"It doesn't matter, no need, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Lorinda asked curiously: "What's the deposit?"

Li Qiao could only tell the story honestly, and Lorinda laughed, "So you also want to surprise me. Fortunately, you are renting a house. If you buy a house, wouldn't it become a surprise?"

"If you are buying a house, then I will give it to you."

"hey-hey."

Lorinda touched Li Qiao's head, "I don't like gloomy Britain, I like passionate Porto."

"Me too, maybe I will go back in the future."

*****

In the evening, the three of them had dinner on the terrace on the second floor. Everything felt like they were in Porto, it felt like home.

"I feel like home again."

"We are a family." Sosa smiled.

"Um."

Li Qiao was a little excited. It is not easy to meet someone by chance and become a relative. It is fate.

"By the way, I watched your game last week and you played really well."

"Well, but it's not easy to gain a foothold in the Premier League. The competition here is too stressful."
