Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 848: No place is worse than your own doghouse

After playing in New York for three days and then in Washington for two days, Fang Minghua and his companions returned to Los Angeles.

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

After returning to Amber Mountain Manor, Fang Minghua discovered that his parents did not seem to be very happy.

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

"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 this place interesting, I'll take you to live on a ranch in Miami for a while."

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

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

nothing.

"Dad, don't you like fishing? In Xijing, you would run more than 20 miles every day to go fishing without any trouble. Here, you can walk just a few steps outside the door to the lake. Why do you want to play chess?!"

"What's the point of fishing like this? The fish took the bait as soon as the hook was put down. There is no technical skill at all!" Fang Changhe replied unhappily.

The fish here have never been caught by anyone, so how could they know how dangerous the world is?
"Son, this place is indeed good, but I think it is still not as good as Xijing." Zhang Fenglan sighed:
"In Xijing, I can gossip with people in the family compound, go out to buy groceries, and meet acquaintances everywhere. But here, apart from your dad, there is no one I know. I can't understand what they are saying, and I have been arguing with your dad these days!"

It seems that it is really hard to leave one’s hometown.

Since his parents were determined to leave, Fang Minghua could not force them to stay, so he had to ask the housekeeper to book two more first-class tickets to Yanjing.

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

The plane was flying smoothly over the Pacific Ocean.

This first-class cabin is very comfortable to sit in. You can lie down and watch TV. The meals are free and quite high-quality.

Zhang Fenglan was very satisfied.

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

But now that her son has become a wealthy man and owns thousands of acres of land, this little money is nothing, and Zhang Fenglan can enjoy herself 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 return home?"

"He is Chinese, why doesn't he 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 I plan to stay until the summer vacation. Lele and Ruirui are coming to visit."

"Hey, Xinxin, when can you come back with me so that all our relatives can meet her? Our Fang family has another granddaughter!"

"Not now. I'm afraid it will affect my son. Old lady, I've told Mingli not to tell anyone about her brother's situation in the United States! I'm warning you, don't tell those old ladies! Not even relatives at home!"

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

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

My son is a wealthy man. He has 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 me say it, and I really couldn't say it.

But I feel so suffocated.

After seeing her parents and sister off, Fang Minghua took her daughter back to San Francisco. With nothing to do, she began writing the seventh Harry Potter book.

It is also the last film in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It mainly tells the story of 17-year-old Harry, who was supposed to continue his last year of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, 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. They tracked the trail invisibly, experienced hardships, and finally destroyed multiple Horcruxes and defeated Voldemort, achieving a great victory in the wizarding world. This novel is the final chapter of the entire series of novels, explaining the final fate of all the important characters, so it is longer than the others.

Take your time writing.

At Shengshi Film and Television, Wu Tianmin has already started filming Fang Minghua's novel "The Road Spike", but the script was not written by Fang Minghua, but by Lu Wei, formerly of the Xi'an Film Studio and now a gold medal screenwriter at Shengshi Film and Television.

Lu Wei is a native of Xijing. He has written a series of excellent film scripts including "Yellow River Ballad", "Farewell My Concubine" and "Red Cherry". Fang Minghua was very confident that he would be in charge of the adaptation.

The name of the script is no longer "Railroad Spikes", but is directly changed to "Pacific Railroad", 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 worked with Jiang Wen before, to play the leading female role. He also invited famous American movie stars Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis to join the film. At that time, many big-name movie stars gathered. Even Liu Yifei played a role in it - the protagonist's daughter Xiao Huimei.
To this end, Shengshi Films invested 1.5 million yuan, which can be regarded as a large-scale production and investment. The crew is now shooting on location in Nevada.

These were all told to him by Song Tangtang on the phone, so Fang Minghua naturally had no objection.

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

It's spring.

But Li Li went abroad again.

Originally, Li Li was going to take a spring vacation of more than half a month to spend time with Fang Minghua, but she received an invitation from the University of Munich in Germany to go there for academic exchanges and serve as a visiting scholar for three months. She would not be back until early July.

Fang Minghua naturally would not stop him. He smiled and said, "Go ahead. I will take care of the kids at home and be a competent housewife."

"Then, what do you do when you feel lonely? What do you do when you miss something?" Li Li asked Fang Minghua while hugging her in bed at night.

"Why are you lonely? I have a precious daughter. As for that guy, I'm not a 20-year-old boy. How can I have so many desires?"

"You feel uncomfortable if I don't do that for three days, and I almost can't satisfy you!"

This one
Compared to Song Tangtang who is passionate in bed, Li Li is more indifferent and does not have high requirements in that aspect.

"Then I'll just hold it in. I can't let doing that with you affect your work. Are you willing?!" Fang Minghua asked back.

"Or, why don't you find another woman?" Li Li said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You agree?"

"I have no objection, as long as you can get past my cousin, hehe."

"Okay, okay, just do your job and I'll stay at home and follow the husband's rules."

The next day, Li Li packed her suitcase, said goodbye to Fang Minghua and her daughter, and went to Germany to start her visiting scholar program.

Fang Minghua is still the same as before.

I get up in the morning to run, eat, and send my kids to school. I mow the lawn and tidy up the garden every few days. I drive my kids around on weekends and occasionally get together with Zhang Qing and Lei Dawen. But I still spend most of my time writing at home.

Good news came from New York. The movie "Hero" defeated several excellent works such as "Love is Dog Food" and "The Taste of Others" and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Zhang Yimou finally got what he wanted.

Shengshi Film and Television took the opportunity to hype up the film, and Zhang Yimou became the number one domestic director.

Fang Minghua just called Zhang Yimou to congratulate him and didn't care about the matter.
