Chapter 416: I refused to marry Chunfeng, but I was mistaken by Qiufeng for no reason (fourth update)
He then said on the phone: "Luchun, I have finished the review, you come to pick it up, and you have someone else take it." Leave it to me to sort out the poems published in the magazine over the past two years."
"Editor Fang, what are you going to do?"
"I want to find someone to translate it into English and publish a collection of poems. , see if it can be published abroad.”
“Okay, I’ll have it sorted out right away”
When he was about to get off work at noon, Zhao Munchun brought over the manuscripts of poems he had published for two years. Fang Minghua took a look at them and found that there were about 60 poems.
It’s a little short to publish a poetry collection
It doesn’t matter, leave it to Li Li first, and translate it slowly if you have time. Anyway, it’s just an excuse for the time being.
Fang Minghua picked up the phone again and called Song Tangtang. On the phone, he expressed his thoughts: "I will not go back to my parents at noon, and let Lili come to our house to talk."
"Okay, you must persuade Lili to return to China."
After hearing his wife's words, Fang Minghua couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What a sin.
He took a sip of tea and picked up the phone again, this time calling Li Li.
The call was quickly connected, and a slightly sweet female voice came from the microphone, with a hint of Wu sound.
“Who?”
"Lili, I'm Minghua."
"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" The voice on the phone became enthusiastic.
"That's right, I want to compile the poems published in our "Yanhe" magazine in the past two years into a collection of poems. Could you please translate it into English and try to publish it abroad? This will also expand the scope of our national poetry. "
After hearing what Fang Minghua said, the other party hesitated: "But brother-in-law, I don't have time. I will try to finish all the translation work of "Crossing Guandong" during the winter vacation, and go back to school to prepare for the translation of your short and medium stories. It’s the novel.”
“Thank you for your hard work, but there’s no need to worry about the poetry. When you have time or even after graduation, I will give the poem manuscript to you to see how it is.”< br>
"Okay then, I'll go to my aunt's house in the evening and you can give it to me."
"It's cold and dark at night, so it's not convenient for you to ride a bike. Why don't you come to my house in Xingfu Community after lunch, and I'll give you the poem Leave it to you."
"Okay then!"
"Goodbye!"
Fang Minghua didn't go back to his parents' house at noon, but had a bowl on the street. After making steamed buns with mutton, I rode back to my home in Xingfu Community. Not long after, I heard a knock on the door.
He went to open the door and saw Li Li standing at the door.
"Come in, is it cold outside?"
"It's not too cold." Li Li entered the room, took off her down jacket and hung it on the hanger, revealing her slender figure, and asked again He said: "Where is my cousin?"
"She usually goes back to my parents at noon." Fang Minghua replied, and asked enthusiastically: "Lili, do you want tea or coffee?"
"Well, coffee, I'm used to drinking this in the UK."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Fang Minghua took out a can of instant coffee from the study. It was not the popular Nestlé coffee on the market, but Blue Mountain coffee brought from the United States by a trustee.
Fang Minghua doesn't like drinking coffee. He still loves Longjing tea, but Song Tangtang likes it, so he asked someone to bring some from abroad.
After making a cup of steaming coffee for the girl, Fang Minghua took out a stack of poems from his briefcase and handed it to her.
While drinking coffee, Li Li looked through the manuscripts of poems: "They are all very good, many of them are poems by Xichuan and others."
"Yes, Xichuan and the others established a group in Yanjing and also ran a folk poetry magazine called Tendency. The outstanding poems in it were recommended to Yanhe magazine." Fang Minghua explained.
“Well, Xichuan, Haizi, and Luo Yihe are all very talented people. When I was studying at Yan University, I often listened to them reciting their poems by Weiming Lake. Thinking about those days, it was really Beautiful."
"Have you studied in the UK and joined a poetry club?" Fang Minghua asked.
“I’m participating, but everyone recited poems in English and French, and rarely heard Chinese poems.”
“You can take these poem manuscripts back to school, and you can join the poetry club. Recited here, this is a poem by a young poet in our country's poetry circle," Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Yes, I can translate it into English and even recite it in Chinese!" Li Li smiled: "Okay, I will take these poems back and appreciate them slowly."
After finishing the business, Fang Minghua looked at Li Li, who was slowly tasting the coffee, called out: "Li Li?"
"Huh?" The girl raised her head and looked at him.
“Last night, you talked about your plans after graduation at your aunt’s house. You said you could stay in the UK or come back to teach. Which one do you prefer?”
"Brother-in-law, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"You care."
Li Li was silent for a moment, "Did my cousin ask you to ask?"
"Yes, but I also want to know." Fang Minghua answered truthfully.
"Then, brother-in-law, do you want me to come back or stay in the UK?" the girl suddenly asked.
"I hope you come back. This is not just my idea. Tangtang, your aunt, uncle, and your parents all have the same idea."
Li Li did not speak after listening, and stirred gently. coffee cup.
Fang Minghua continued to persuade: "Lili, you go back to China and teach at Yanjing University. You are familiar with the school and the teachers. Besides, your grandparents are both in Yanjing. Find an outstanding boy and settle down in Yanjing." , life will be very happy."
"Excellent boy? Brother-in-law, can you be as good as you?" Li Li looked up at him.
“Yes!” Fang Minghua affirmed.
"Then I'll ask you to find it for me."
Huh? I?
"I don't know many people in Yanjing. I will delay you." Fang Minghua said quickly.
"Delay?" Li Li's eyes turned to the window.
It was desolate outside.
"The willows return to the pond, and the mandarin ducks leave the pond. The green pods break up the lotus boat road. There are no bees and butterflies to admire the fragrance, and the red clothes are taken off to make the heart suffer.
The sun returns to welcome the tide, and the clouds bring rain. Yiyi is like a poet. "I refused to marry Chunfeng, but I was misled by Qiufeng for no reason."
Li Li murmured a poem.
"Treading on the Shasha and Walking Willows Back to the Pond" by He Zhu in the Song Dynasty.
Fang Minghua did not interrupt, but listened quietly, and the room fell into silence.
Finally, Li Li withdrew her gaze and smiled at Fang Minghua: "Brother-in-law, I will consider your suggestion very seriously. Okay, I'm leaving."
After speaking, Li Li stood up.
"Why don't you just sit down?"
"No, you have to go to work later, bye!"
Li Li put on her coat and left the room.
"Goodbye, be careful when riding on the road." Fang Minghua warned.
Fang Minghua returned to his parents' house in the evening, but his daughter-in-law Song Tangtang did not come back.
It turns out that the two children are one year and one month old and ready to be weaned, so starting from today, Song Tangtang avoided seeing the two children to speed up the progress.
After dinner, Fang Minghua played with his aggrieved son who wanted to find his mother for a while. After coaxing him to fall asleep, he rode his bicycle back to his home in Xingfu Community.
Back home, Song Tangtang saw him coming back and immediately asked: "How is Lele?"
"After crying for a while, I fell asleep before I left. Mom hugged her and fell asleep."
"I just called my mother, and Ruirui was crying and wanted to see me." Song Tangtang sighed.
"It doesn't matter, it will be fine in two days." Fang Minghua comforted his wife.
"Well, how was your chat with Lili at noon today?" Song Tangtang thought of something again and asked.
"She said she would consider my suggestion very seriously." Fang Minghua answered truthfully.
"Well, then she will come back."
Huh?
