Chapter 706 "You Dare to Say You Don't Like Lili?!"
"Minghua, you and Lili should have a child." Song Tangtang said again.
"Ah? Tangtang, are you testing me?" Fang Minghua laughed.
"What test or not? Am I that boring?" Song Tangtang rolled his eyes at him:"
"Lili is already 33 this year. I heard from my sister-in-law that a woman who has a child after the age of 35 is like going through the gates of hell, but she is single now and not looking for a man. It's a pity to waste her academic genes? You are also very good and smart, and your offspring must be very good too!"
What kind of logic is this?
Fang Minghua looked at her blankly.
"In fact, I also know that Lili has always liked you. If it weren't for me, you two would definitely get married, but now she is living like this. Since she can't have a happy marriage like me now, give her a child. You also know that 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 is asleep. Let's rest. It's getting late. You have to travel tomorrow." Song Tangtang said again.
That night, Fang Minghua tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Song Tangtang beside him seemed to be the same.
After breakfast the next morning, Song Tangtang drove Fang Minghua to the airport. Neither of them mentioned what they talked about last night.
Fang Minghua took a plane to Yanjing, rested for more than two hours, and then took an international flight to San Francisco. After a long flight of more than 11 hours, he finally arrived at San Francisco International Airport. It was now nine o'clock in the morning local time.
After completing the formalities through the customs channel, Fang Minghua came to the waiting hall with a suitcase and saw Li Li who came to pick him up in a down jacket.
"Brother-in-law!" Li Li shouted happily as usual, but there was a little shyness in her smile.
"Lili, you don't have class today? "Fang Minghua asked.
"No in the morning, but in the afternoon, let's go." The two walked out of the hall together.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they got into Li Li's Ford and drove to the city together.
Li Li, who usually talked a lot when she saw Fang Minghua, suddenly became much less talkative today, and from time to time she would sneak a glance at Fang Minghua who was silently looking out the window.
The vehicle finally stopped at the door of an orange-yellow 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. There are bungalows like the one Li Li lives in. There is a yard in front of each house, which also serves as a parking space. The rows are very neat, but they all look old and seem to have a history.
This is a bungalow called a Bungalow or Craftsman, which is very common in the United States.
It has a balcony where people can cool off in the summer. There is an attic on the top with a sloping roof, which looks very beautiful.
This bungalow was bought by Fang Minghua in 1988.
At that time, he was invited to New York, USA to attend the National Book Critics Circle Award Ceremony, and his book "Crossing Guandong" won the award that year. The Book Critics Association's Best Novel Award.
Later, when he arrived in San Francisco, he heard that Li Li decided not to return to China after graduating from her doctorate but to stay in the United States to teach, so he gave her 100,000 US dollars so that the girl could buy a house and a car and live a good life in the United States.
However, Fang Minghua has never been here.
Li Li parked the car in front of the door and opened the door with the key. Fang Minghua followed in with the luggage. The house was not big, with a living room, a bedroom, a study next door, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a washroom. That's it.
Although it was a bit cold outside, the room was very warm with heating. He took off his down jacket and suddenly found that a cat with silver stripes on its body was curled up on the sofa in the living room, looking at him curiously with wide eyes.
"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, you hug her. "
As she said that, Li Li handed the cat to Fang Minghua.
Huahua?
Or Huahua?
Fang Minghua did not ask.
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 is indeed strange.
At least it is better than the tabby cat at home.
That cat always looks at you as if it is not happy with you.
With this well-behaved cat, the awkward atmosphere between the two of them just now became casual.
Fang Minghua was sitting on the sofa petting the cat, and saw Li Li busy in and out.
"Brother-in-law, I have adjusted the water in the bathtub, you go 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 already filled with hot water. Fang Minghua found towels, razors, slippers and even underwear next to it, all brand new.
Fang Minghua was not polite, closed the door, took off his clothes in a few seconds and entered the bathtub naked. He felt much more comfortable in the hot water.
After taking a bath and putting on a bathrobe, Fang Minghua shaved his beard in front of the mirror and dried his hair with a hair dryer. He was thinking about whether to put on his original clothes and go out, when he heard a light knock on the bathroom door, and then it opened a crack and a brand new men's pajamas was 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, and his suitcase in the living room was also opened, and the things inside were empty.
It seemed that Li Li had helped to pack.
In fact, there was nothing in it, just some clothes to change.
"Brother-in-law, you take a rest first and watch TV, I'll go cook."
Fang Minghua nodded, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch, of course, he couldn't forget to play with the cat.
The meal was ready quickly, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, homemade tofu, stir-fried meat with green peppers, and a big bowl of three-fresh soup, with a bowl of rice to take away, all of which were what Fang Minghua often ate in Xijing.
He picked up a piece of tofu and tasted it, and it tasted good.
After dinner, Fang Minghua wanted to wash the dishes, but Li Li stopped him and said that 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 plan?"
"Don't worry about me, go to class." Fang Minghua replied, and suddenly remembered something: "Lili, do you know a publishing house called Ashley press? 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 saying that, she stood up and walked towards the study.
Fang Minghua followed him in and saw a Dell computer on the desk. Li Li pressed the start button, and after a row of English letters jumped, the blue sky and white clouds that Fang Minghua was familiar with appeared on the screen.
WIN95!
This is the new generation of operating system just released by Microsoft Corporation in the United States called "Windows95". It is very easy to use. "Li Li explained.
"I heard that the Chinese version will be released soon, brother-in-law, you can buy a set when you go back."
"Yeah" Fang Minghua nodded.
WIN95 is finally here.
Fang Minghua suddenly felt that the world was much more familiar.
After Li Li opened win95, she opened a search software called altavista - there was no Google or Baidu in this era. Li Li used the software while introducing its use to Fang Minghua.
He listened quietly.
Unfortunately, when he typed in Ashley press, he did not search for this company.
