Chapter 706 "You dare to say you don't like Lili?!"
"Minghua, you and Lili should have a child." Song Tangtang said again.
"Huh? Tangtang, are you testing me?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"What test is not a test? Am I that boring?" Song Tangtang rolled her eyes at him: "
"Lili is already 33 this year. I heard from my sister-in-law that women have passed Giving birth to a child at the age of 35 means going through hell, but now she is single and not looking for a man. How sad is it that her academic genes are wasted? You are also very good and smart, and your offspring will definitely be very good too! ”
What is the logic of this?
Fang Minghua looked at her blankly.
"Actually, I also know that Lili has always liked you. If it weren't for me, you two would definitely get married. As a result, she is living like this now. Since she can't have a happy marriage like me, then Give her a child, you know Lili likes children very much," Song Tangtang said.
"But, you?."
"Lili has already agreed. As for you Minghua, do you dare to say that you don't like Lili?!" Song Tangtang looked at Fang Minghua.
Fang Minghua was silent.
"Okay. That's it. The child has gone to bed. Let's take a rest. It's getting late and you have to be on the road tomorrow." Song Tangtang said again.
That night, Fang Minghua tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and Song Tangtang next to him seemed to be too.
After breakfast the next morning, Song Tangtang drove Fang Minghua to the airport. Neither of them mentioned what they had said last night.
Fang Minghua took a flight to Yanjing, rested for more than two hours and then boarded an international flight to San Francisco. After a long flight of more than 11 hours, he finally arrived at San Francisco International Airport. It is now 9 a.m. local time point.
After completing the formalities through the customs channel, Fang Minghua carried his suitcase to the departure hall and saw Li Li wearing a down jacket coming to pick him up.
"Brother-in-law!" Li Li called cheerfully as usual, but her smile was a little shy.
"Lili, you have no class today?" Fang Minghua asked.
"No in the morning, but some in the afternoon, let's go." The two of them walked out of the hall together.
When we got to the parking lot, we got into Li Li's Ford car and drove towards the city together.
Li Li, who was usually very talkative when meeting Fang Minghua, suddenly became less talkative today. From time to time, she peeked at Fang Minghua, who was silently looking out the window.
The vehicle finally stopped at the door of an orange bungalow in a community near San Francisco State University.
"We're home." Li Li said softly.
Fang Minghua got out of the car and looked around.
The surrounding environment is not bad. They are all bungalows like the one Li Li lives in. There is a yard in front of each house to accommodate parking. The rows are very neat, but they all look older, and they seem to have aged.
This is a type of bungalow called a Bungalow or Craftman style house, which is very common in the United States.
It has a balcony, where people can enjoy the coolness in summer. There is a covered attic on the top with a pitched roof, which looks very beautiful.
This bungalow was bought with money from Fang Minghua in 1988.
At that time, he was invited to New York to attend the National Book Critics Circle Award Ceremony. In the end, his book "Enter Guandong" won the Book Critics Circle Best Novel Award that year.
Later I came to San Francisco and heard that Dr. Li Li decided not to return to China after graduation but to stay and teach in the United States, so I gave her $100,000 to buy a house and a car and live a good life in the United States.
However, Fang Minghua never came.
Li Li parked the car in front of the door and opened the door with the key. Fang Minghua followed him in with his luggage. The house was not big, with a living room, a bedroom, a study room next door, and a kitchen. Bathroom, washroom, that's all.
Although it was a bit cold outside, there was a heater in the room and it was very warm. He took off his down jacket and suddenly found a cat with silver stripes sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was looking at it curiously with his eyes wide open. Looking at him.
"This is my cat, her name is Huahua." Li Li picked up the kitten and put it on her face affectionately: "She is an American shorthair cat, very docile, please give me a hug ."
As he spoke, Li Li handed the cat to Fang Minghua.
Huahua?
Or Huahua?
Fang Minghua didn’t ask either. He put down the suitcase, took the cat, and gently stroked her smooth back. The cat just meowed, squinted its eyes and began to enjoy it.
It’s really strange.
At least he's better behaved than his own cat.
That cat always looks unhappy with you.
With this well-behaved cat, the awkward atmosphere between the two just now became more relaxed.
Fang Minghua was sitting on the sofa playing with his cat and saw Li Li busy in and out.
"Brother-in-law, I have adjusted the water in the bathtub. You go and take a bath." Li Li came out of the bathroom.
Fang Minghua nodded, put down the cat and walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom was quite large, and the bathtub was filled with hot water. Fang Minghua found that there were towels, razors, slippers and even underwear next to them, all brand new.
Fang Minghua was not polite. He closed the door, took off his clothes and got into the bathtub naked. He felt much more comfortable after soaking in the hot water.
After taking a shower and putting on his bathrobe, Fang Minghua shaved his beard in front of the mirror and dried his hair with a hair dryer. Just as he was thinking about whether to put on his original clothes and go out, he heard a gentle knock on the bathroom door. After a slight tap, a slit was opened, and a brand new men's pajamas were handed in.
“Brother-in-law, wear this.”
Fang Minghua put on his pajamas and went out, and found that Li Li had also changed into home clothes. His suitcase in the living room had also been opened and it was empty.
It seems that Li Li has already helped clean up.
Actually, there is not much inside, I just brought some changes of clothes.
"Brother-in-law, you rest first and watch TV while I go cook."
Fang Minghua nodded, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. Of course he couldn't forget to pet the cat.
The meal was quickly prepared, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, homemade tofu, fried pork with green peppers, and a large bowl of Sanxian soup, as well as a bowl of rice to take away, all of which Fang Minghua often ate in Xijing.
He picked up a piece of tofu and tasted it. It tasted pretty good.
After dinner, Fang Minghua was going to wash the dishes, but Li Li stopped him and said, "You just got off the plane and have a good rest."
What a life.
After Li Li finished cleaning up, she came to the living room and sat next to Fang Minghua and asked.
"Brother-in-law, I have classes in the afternoon, how do you arrange it?"
"Don't worry about me, you go to class." Fang Minghua replied, and suddenly remembered something: "Lili, you know a store called Ashleypress The publishing house? It’s near your campus.”
Li Li thought about it carefully and finally shook her head.
"I'm not sure, but I can help you search! My computer can access the Internet." After that, she stood up and walked to the study.
Fang Minghua walked in and saw a Dell computer on the desk. Li Li pressed the start button. After the lines of English letters jumped, the blue sky and white clouds that Fang Minghua was once familiar with appeared on the screen.
WIN95!
This is the new generation operating system just released by the American Microsoft Corporation called "Windows95" and it is very easy to use. "Li Li explained as she spoke.
"I heard that a Chinese version will be released soon. Brother-in-law, you can buy a set when you go back. "
"Yes" Fang Minghua nodded.
WIN95 is finally here.
Fang Minghua suddenly felt that the world suddenly felt much more familiar.
After Li Li opened win95, she then opened a search software called Altavista - there was no such thing as Google and Baidu in this era. Li Li introduced the use of the software to Fang Minghua while using it.
He listened quietly.
Unfortunately, when I entered Ashleypress, I did not find this company.
