Back to 80: My Literary Life

After spending three days in New York and two days in Washington, Fang Minghua and his friends returned to Los Angeles.

Because Fang Mingli's vacation was over, she had to go back and planned to leave from Los Angeles.

Back at Amber Mountain Manor, Fang Minghua found that his parents didn't seem to be very happy.

"Son, your father and I have decided to go back to China with your sister." Zhang Fenglan said.

"Ah? Didn't you apply for a three-month visa? It's only been more than 20 days. Why are you in such a hurry?" Fang Minghua was surprised. "If you don't find it interesting here, I'll take you to live on the ranch in Miami for a while."

"Are there any Chinese people on the ranch? Can we chat together?" Mom asked.

"Is there anyone who can play chess?" Dad asked.

None.

"Dad, don't you like fishing? In Xijing, I don't mind running more than 20 miles every day to go fishing. Here, you can walk a few steps to the lake. Why do you want to play chess?!"

"What's the point of fishing? The fish bites the hook as soon as the hook is put down. There is no technical content at all!" Fang Changhe replied unhappily.

The fish here have never been caught by anyone, so how can they know the dangers of the world?

"Son, it's really good here, but I think it's still not as good as Xijing." Zhang Fenglan sighed:

"In Xijing, there are acquaintances everywhere, such as chatting with people in the family compound and going out to buy vegetables. But here, except for your dad, there is no one I know. I can't understand what they say, which makes me quarrel with your dad these days!"

It seems that it is really hard to leave the hometown.

Since the parents insisted on leaving, Fang Minghua could not force them to stay, so he had to ask the housekeeper to book two more first-class seats to Yanjing.

Another day later, Fang Changhe and his wife said goodbye to their son and granddaughter, and flew back to China with their daughter and mother.

The plane was flying smoothly over the Pacific Ocean.

This first-class cabin is comfortable to sit in, you can lie down, watch TV, and the food is free and quite high-end.

Zhang Fenglan was very satisfied.

Of course, I heard that the air tickets are very expensive, equivalent to tens of thousands of RMB.

But now that her son has become a rich man, he has thousands of acres of land, so this little money is nothing, and Zhang Fenglan enjoys it with peace of mind.

"Hey, old man." Zhang Fenglan suddenly remembered something and whispered to Fang Changhe who was dozing next to her, "Have you asked your son if he doesn't want to go back to China?"

"He is Chinese, why not stay in China?!" Fang Changhe replied and said, "But you have to come to the United States more often. After all, Li Li and her daughter are here. This time we plan to stay until the summer vacation. Lele and Ruirui are coming to play."

"When can Xinxin come back with me so that our relatives can meet her? Our Fang family has another granddaughter!"

"Not now, it may affect my son, old woman, I have told Mingli not to tell her brother about her brother in the United States! I warn you, don't tell those old women! Not even relatives at home!"

"How is it possible? I know my limits!" Zhang Fenglan muttered.

In fact, she had long wanted to go back and show off to a group of old sisters.

My son is a rich man. He bought many houses and thousands of acres of land in the United States!

I also have a granddaughter in the United States!

But the old man didn't let her say it, and she really couldn't say it.

It's just that I'm so anxious.

After sending his parents and sister away, Fang Minghua took his daughter back to San Francisco. With nothing to do, he started writing the seventh Harry Potter book.

It's also the last book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It mainly tells the story of Harry, who was supposed to continue his last year of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but in order to complete the task left to him by the late former headmaster of the school, Dumbledore, to destroy Voldemort, Harry and his friends faced the pursuit and interception of Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, and tracked them invisibly, experienced hardships, and finally destroyed multiple Horcruxes and defeated Voldemort, achieving a great victory in the magic world.

This novel is the final chapter of the entire novel series, explaining the final fate of all the important characters, so it is longer than the others.

Write slowly.

At Shengshi Film and Television, Wu Tianmin has started filming Fang Minghua's novel "The Spike", but the script was not written by Fang Minghua, but by Lu Wei, the former director of Xiying Studio and now the gold medal screenwriter of Shengshi Film and Television.

Lu Wei is a native of Xijing. He has written a series of excellent movie scripts such as "Yellow River Ballad", "Farewell My Concubine" and "Red Cherry". Fang Minghua is very relieved to have him adapt the script.

The name of the script is no longer "Railway Spike", but directly changed to "Pacific Railway", which is simple, straightforward and impactful.

In China, Wu Tianmin invited Jiang Wen, who was deprived of the right to direct, to play the leading male role in the film, and Gong Li, who had partnered with her before, to play the leading female role. At the same time, he also invited famous American movie stars Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis to join. For a time, big-name movie stars gathered. Even Liu Yifei played a role in it - Xiao Huimei, the daughter of the protagonist.

For this reason, Shengshi Film and Television invested 150 million yuan, which can be regarded as a big production and big investment. Now the crew is shooting on location in Nevada.

These are all told to him by Song Tangtang on the phone, and Fang Minghua naturally has no objection.

It was late March, and San Francisco was full of spring, with birds singing and flowers blooming. In such weather, it was inevitable that people would feel a certain kind of turmoil in their hearts. Fang Minghua felt this way now.

It was spring.

But Li Li went abroad again.

Li Li originally wanted to take more than half a month of spring vacation to spend time with Fang Minghua. However, she received an invitation from the University of Munich in Germany to have academic exchanges there and to be a visiting scholar for three months. She did not return until early July.

Fang Minghua naturally wouldn't stop him and said with a smile, you can go ahead and I will take care of the baby at home and be a competent housewife.

"Then, what should you do if you are lonely? What should you do if you think about it?" Li Li asked Fang Minghua while sleeping on the bed at night.

"Why are you lonely? I have a precious daughter. As for that young man who is not twenty years old, how can I have so many desires?"

"If you don't do it for three days, you will feel uncomfortable. I almost won't be able to satisfy you!"

Compared with Song Tangtang, who was very passionate in bed, Li Li was a bit calmer and didn't have many requirements in that regard.

"Then I'll just hold it in. Just because I want to be with you, it won't affect your work. Are you willing?!" Fang Minghua asked in return.

"How about you find another woman?" Li Li said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Do you agree?"

"I don't have any objections, as long as you can pass the test of my cousin, hehe."

"Okay, okay, you can go about your work with peace of mind, and I will abide by husband's rules at home."

The next day, Li Li took her suitcase, said goodbye to Fang Minghua and her daughter, and headed to Germany to start her study tour.

Fang Minghua is still the same as before.

I get up in the morning to run and exercise, eat and send my baby to school, mow the lawn and tidy up the garden every few days, drive around with my baby on weekends, occasionally get together with Zhang Qing and Radar Wen, but most of the time I still write at home.

Good news came from New York. The movie "Heroes" defeated several masterpieces such as "Love is Dog Food" and "The Taste of Other People" to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Zhang Yimou finally got his wish.

Shengshi Film and Television took the opportunity to hype it up again, and Zhang Yimou became the number one director in China.

Fang Minghua just called Zhang Yimou to express his congratulations and didn't care about the matter.
