Back to 80: My Literary Life

Song Tangtang and his friends flew directly from San Francisco to Yanjing, where they visited their grandparents in the General Political Department compound, and then took another flight to Xijing.

Fang Minghua had to go to the airport to pick them up. There were so many people coming back that one car couldn't fit them all. Song Tangtang's brother Song Yuemin had another mission in the army, so Fang Minghua called Zhao Hongjun to drive to help pick them up.

The two stood in the terminal hall and waited for a short time before they saw a group of people pulling suitcases out of the station.

Li Li's parents, Song Tangtang and her mother, and Song Tangtang's aunt, and of course a couple of newlyweds.

This was the first time Fang Minghua saw this rich second-generation Chinese Chen Anji.

He was really handsome, and he was a mixed-race, with black eyes and hair, but his nose was high and his face had a three-dimensional look of a Westerner. He wore a tweed coat on the outside and a suit and leather shoes on the inside, and smiled.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, but why did Fang Minghua feel a bit feminine?

This "Korean Wave" hasn't started to prevail yet, right?

Walking side by side with Chen Anji was Li Li, who changed her usual plain-faced look and put on makeup today. She wore a down jacket outside and a red dress inside, which made her look particularly bright.

However, her face did not look happy after the wedding, but was covered with a layer of faint fatigue?

Perhaps it was because of the fatigue along the way?

Fang Minghua and Zhao Hongjun greeted them, helped everyone carry their suitcases and then left the terminal hall. After getting in the car at the parking lot, they went straight to the city.

Li Li and her husband did not stay at her parents' home after returning, but arranged to stay at the Sheraton Hotel on Fenghao East Road.

This is a five-star hotel that has just opened not long ago, with complete facilities and excellent conditions. Fang Minghua booked two rooms in advance, one for Song Tangtang's aunt, and the other luxury suite for the newlyweds.

Anyway, Chen Anji is a rich second-generation, and he will pay for all the expenses of Li Li's return to visit relatives this time, so Fang Minghua will naturally not save money.

After everyone settled down and made arrangements, Fang Minghua first sent his mother-in-law back to the military compound, and then took his wife home.

The two chatted on the road.

"Tangtang, Lili's wedding in Los Angeles was grand, right?"

"It was not bad. It was held at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, and many local celebrities attended."

"That's good. The Chen Anji family has a great influence in San Francisco." Fang Minghua said casually.

"Yes, the influence is indeed great."

Fang Minghua looked at Song Tangtang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and looked tired. He couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you tired?"

"Well, a little."

"Well, let's not talk about it. Go back and have a good rest."

"Oh, there is one more thing I almost forgot. I have to tell you in advance." Song Tangtang said suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

"I met Mr. Johnson, the vice president of Ximeng Publishing House this time. He said that the two love novels you wrote, "The Bridges of Madison County" and "Ghost", are very popular not only in the United States but also in Europe, so he hopes you can write another love novel."

"Write another one?"

"Yes, so it will be "The Love Trilogy." Song Tangtang said.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do recently." Fang Minghua agreed.

The wedding reception of Li Li and Chen Anji was held at the Sheraton Hotel at noon the next day. It was mainly to entertain the relatives and friends of Li Li's parents and Li Li's own classmates and friends. Fang Minghua was the general manager and was busy until the afternoon.

In the evening, Fang Minghua sent the two children back to her mother-in-law's house and went home to rest.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. It was freezing cold outside. Fang Minghua was just about to go to bed when she suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from the garage. She quickly put on her coat and went out to see that it was Song Tangtang driving her Mazda home. After the car was parked, Fang Minghua entered the yard from the back door of the garage. She found that it was not Song Tangtang alone, but her cousin Li Li.

Fang Minghua felt very strange.

"Lili, it's so late, why don't you stay in the hotel?"

Before Li Li could speak, Song Tangtang spoke. "Minghua, Lili will stay with me tonight, and you will sleep in the guest room."

Damn!

The bride didn't go to sleep with the groom at night, but ran to my house to sleep with my cousin?

What's the matter?

But seeing the two sisters' expressions, Fang Minghua didn't ask too much, so she had to go to the guest room on the first floor, where the quilts and bedding were complete anyway.

After washing up, Fang Minghua half-lay on the bed and picked up a book - in this era without mobile phones, reading before going to bed was also a habit.

The bedroom door suddenly opened, and Song Tangtang walked in in pajamas, holding a book in her hand.

"Is Lili asleep?" Fang Minghua asked.

"Not yet, she wants to read the collection of essays you wrote, I'll take it to her." Song Tangtang answered, and suddenly said: "Minghua, Lili will stay at our house tonight, you can't tell anyone about this!"

What is so mysterious?

But seeing his wife's serious expression, Fang Minghua agreed.

"Okay, I know, I won't tell you even if you kill me. Tangtang, why doesn't Lili go back to the hotel to sleep?" Fang Minghua asked curiously.

"She said she's not used to staying in a hotel." Song Tangtang replied and turned away.

Is this also a reason?

Fang Minghua shook his head and picked up the book in his hand again.

The next morning, Fang Minghua got up early and prepared milk and bread. After a while, he saw that the two were not in good spirits and seemed to have not slept well at night.

So he joked: "What's wrong? Did you talk all night last night? How many intimate words can't be finished?"

As a result, Song Tangtang glared at him fiercely.

Fang Minghua had to shut up.

After dinner, according to the plan, Chen Jian wanted to visit the scenic spots in Xijing, and Li Li naturally wanted to accompany him. Originally, they were going to take Fang Minghua's car, but Song Tangtang spoke up.

"Minghua, I will drive Li Li and the others to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and you stay at home to write novels."

I @#￥%...

But it doesn't matter. Why climb the crappy Big Wild Goose Pagoda? It's better to stay at home and drink tea and write.

Li Li and her husband stayed in Xijing for five days. In the next three days, Song Tangtang drove them around everywhere, leaving early and returning late.

In the evening, they went to Li Li's parents' house for dinner and then went back to the hotel to rest. However, Li Li followed Song Tangtang back every night, and the two women lived together.

Damn it

How did this become occupying my wife?

Fortunately, they are cousins.

Also, Chen Jian, are you a man? Do you continue to be single after your wedding?

Fortunately, after three days of fun, Li Li and Chen Jian were going back to the United States, and Fang Minghua and his wife naturally drove them to the airport.

In the car, Li Li told Fang Minghua that she had completed the translation of "Skywalker" and would translate his collection of essays "Fragments of Civilization" after returning.

She also said that if the romance novel was finished, she would send it to her, and she would contact Simon Publishing House after translating it as quickly as possible.

Fang Minghua agreed.

He looked at Chen Jian sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror in the car and found that he was fine, with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be unhappy.

Your wife doesn't come back to sleep at night, aren't you sad at all?
