Chapter 845 National Day
After listening to Fang Minghua's narration, Li Li held his arm tightly and said nothing.
Absurd, but blatantly ironic.
After returning home, Fang Minghua began to seriously conceive of this novel, which was called "Angel Island and Alcatraz Island".
Black humor and absurdity.
Fang Minghua spent the entire month of September writing. Sometimes he and Li Li took Xinxin out for fun on the weekends. He also visited Reda Wen's house and visited their villa.
It is indeed very luxurious, but it is still not on the same level as the Amber Mountain Manor in Los Angeles.
Radar Wen told him that he had recently actively assisted Professor Yu Rong Yifang’s team to use social power to lobby California legislators and put pressure on the California government by taking advantage of the Chinese Culture Day controversy at San Francisco State University.
“First let the California government recognize the contributions of Chinese workers in history, and the next step is the federal government,” Reda said with a smile.
Fang Minghua has always stayed away from politics, not to mention that he is not an American citizen, so it is better to participate less.
However, as support, Fang Minghua personally donated 1 million US dollars as funding to Yu Rongyi and other teams.
If you have money, you have the ability to contribute.
The National Day will soon arrive on October 1st.
Since 1999, the National Day holiday has been implemented in China. Of course, Americans will not celebrate October 1st. They will go to work as usual on this day. However, Fang Minghua still hangs a bright five-star red flag at the door of his villa. When Li Li comes home in the evening, the family of three celebrates a little.
They sang a song like "I Love My Motherland". This was the first time for my daughter Xinxin to sing this song. Fang Minghua and Li Li taught her patiently.
People's emotions are very strange. In China, the National Day feels like a holiday for people. Sometimes I don't feel much when I see five-star red flags hanging all over the streets. Sometimes I think it's formalism. But when I come to a foreign country, I wait until October. Seeing red stars and red flags on this day is completely different.
In the evening, Fang Minghua called Song Tangtang again. As usual, he was concerned about the situation of his family and children.
Song Tangtang told him on the phone that after negotiations between Shengshi Film and Television and Warner Bros., filming of the fifth "Harry Potter" installment will be temporarily suspended next year.
"Why, neither party can find a suitable director for each other?" Fang Minghua asked.
"This is just one of the reasons. More importantly, Warner Bros. recently conducted a market survey. Audiences generally reported that four consecutive years of one movie a year have caused aesthetic fatigue, so they temporarily stopped filming to whet the audience's appetite. ”
"Okay, you just decide." Fang Minghua does not interfere with the company's specific operations.
However, since the filming of the movie has been temporarily suspended, will the sixth volume of the novel "Harry Potter" be published as planned next year?
Let’s leave this question to Demi from the publishing house and let her answer it based on the market.
"Minghua, there is something else I want to discuss with you. After Ruirui graduates from junior high school, I want to send her to the United States to attend high school." Song Tangtang said again on the other end of the phone.
Daughter Fang Rui's cultural studies were average, but she inherited her mother's talent for art, especially music, so she decided to let her pursue art.
"Don't you plan to attend the High School Affiliated to Xijing Conservatory of Music?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Well, I've done some research. The school environment and teaching staff are average. If you want to go to Yenching, you can go to the High School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music. But I think it's better to go to Yenching and be sent abroad directly. Lili said that there is a private art high school in San Francisco. , the teaching quality is very good, and she can take care of her in San Francisco ”
"I also heard Lili say okay, I'll contact you. Where is Lele? Where does Lele go to high school?"
"He wants to go to the High School Affiliated to NPU."
"That's okay. The teaching quality of the High School Affiliated to NPU is no worse than those of prestigious high schools in the United States." Fang Minghua agreed.
"Then contact me as soon as possible to find out what are the requirements for admission and what procedures are needed, and let me know."
"No problem."
Fang Minghua hung up the phone and told Li Li about it.
Li Li was very happy after hearing this: "It's great that Ruirui comes to study abroad. I've already asked about it. In a situation like Ruirui's, as long as the TOEFL score can reach 80 points, it will be fine!"
In fact, Fang Minghua is not worried about this at all. Private high school?
Can't get on? How is it possible?
Throw money at it.
"Ouch." Fang Minghua suddenly remembered something again and patted his head.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to invite my parents to come to San Francisco for the Spring Festival this year, but I forgot to tell Tangtang." With that, Fang Minghua quickly dialed the phone again.
"Is there anything else?" Song Tangtang asked on the other side of the phone.
"Tangtang, I have an idea. During the Chinese New Year this year, I will bring your parents or my parents to live in the United States for a while. They have never been here before. Come out and relax."
On the other end of the phone, Song Tangtang snorted and said, "Forget it about my parents. If my dad knew that you had settled down in San Francisco and had a child with my cousin, he would probably chase you with an ax and chop you down!"
Fang Minghua suddenly became ashamed after hearing this.
My father-in-law was a soldier and had a really hot temper. It was unimaginable.
"I'm joking with you. The main reason is that my dad has a sensitive status. He just retired and is not suitable for going abroad. Let's wait a few years before talking about it." Song Tangtang's laughter came from the microphone.
"But your father and mother can go. The old man has worked hard all his life and should come out to relax."
"I said it, but they didn't listen." Fang Minghua was also helpless.
The evil capitalist America is not as scary as you think.
"Leave this matter to me. I'll tell your parents."
"Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely fine for my wife to take action!" Fang Minghua quickly flattered her.
"However, I can't tell you anything about you and Lili!" Song Tangtang added.
"I understand, I understand. Just ask them to leave the country."
Li Li listened to the conversation between the two, feeling excited and a little worried.
What would happen if Fang Minghua's parents came and knew about their relationship?
Will they call themselves shameless for seducing their sons?
When the two of them were sleeping at night, Li Li expressed her thoughts.
"How could it be?" Fang Minghua comforted: "My parents saw you and saw that they had a granddaughter. It was too late to be happy."
"But, you said that your parents are very traditional and from the older generation." Li Li was still a little worried.
"Stop it, if my parents are really like that, you can say that I raped you, and I will be responsible for the fact that you have a child. If you want to, you can call me a scumbag and a bad guy!"
"Bah, bah. It's so unpleasant to say, who can do it?!" A trace of shyness appeared on Li Li's face.
Fang Minghua felt his heart heat up when he saw it, and his body felt strange. He suddenly turned over and pressed on Li Li.
"I'm violent, now!"
"Oh no, Xinxin hasn't followed yet."
"It doesn't matter, our room is very soundproofed, she can't hear it."
Not long after, the sound of babbling sounded in the room.
