Wu Liande woke up less than two days after the operation, Huo Yaowen happened to visit him that day, and listened to the doctor and the Wu family say that Wu Lao's body recovered very well, and there were no symptoms of hemiplegia, but he was seriously ill, and his body was always not as good as before, especially the right hand always trembled uncontrollably, and sometimes he drooled for no reason.

In this regard, Wu Liande was more open-minded, and when chatting, he also strongly persuaded Huo Yaowen to hurry up and find a new editor-in-chief for the publishing house, saying that he, a person who "eats idle meals", finally left.

While Huo Yaowen felt guilty, he also told Wu Lao about the resumption of the pictorial "Good Friends".

"Really!"

Hearing the news of the resumption of publication, Wu Liande's eyes lit up, and the pictorial "Liangyou" can be said to be his life's work, and it can also be said to be the cause that he has been working hard all his life.

The first time the publication was suspended in 41 years because of the Japanese invasion, the second time it was suspended in 45 years because of a falling out with shareholders, and the third time it was resumed in 58 years when Hong Kong's market economy was not good.

It can be said that Wu Liande has been in trouble for half his life, and the most glorious moments and the most depressed moments are all brought by "Good Friends".

Huo Yaowen hurriedly said: "Old Wu, don't get excited!"

The Wu family on the side said nervously: "Yes, father, don't be excited, the doctor said that you can't be too happy and sad now." ”

"Okay, I'm not excited, not excited. ”

Wu Liande said so, but the joy in his heart was clear on his face.

Seeing that Wu Lao was happy, Huo Yaowen was also very happy, but when he noticed that the corners of Wu Lao's mouth couldn't help but drool, but Wu Lao himself didn't notice it at all, and let the saliva slowly flow down the corners of his mouth all the way to the bed, he sighed slightly in his heart.

"Old Wu, don't be too excited, you need to cultivate more now, don't be in a hurry to resume the publication, wait until you get better. ”

Worried that Mrs. Wu was excited, Huo Yaowen comforted him, and did not stay any longer, before leaving, he called out the Wu family.

"This is the medical expenses given by the publishing house to Mr. Wu, don't be busy refusing, Mr. Wu has done his best for the HKU Press in the past two years, which is just a little bit of the publisher's heart and me. ”

The Wu family hurriedly refused: "This, President Huo, I can't ask for this, we still have the money for my father's treatment." ”

"Mr. Wu accept it, the publishing house can have today's development, I, the president, is at best a signboard, and the person who really makes it strong is ...... Wu Lao"

"Well, well. ”

Originally, the economic situation of the Wu family was very good, and after founding "Liangyou" for so many years, he still made some money, but in 54 years, Wu Liande could not find a partner to resume the publication of "Liangyou", so he could only take the money himself, which led to the collapse of the family at a loss, and the family fell a lot at once.

Huo Yaowen saw him accept it, nodded with a smile, and said another thing: "By the way, Mr. Wu, the resumption of "Liangyou" ......."

Huo Yaowen asked the Wu family to come out, in addition to giving money, there was also the resumption of the publication of "Good Friends".

wants to republish the pictorial "Good Friends", Wu Liande is unlikely to host the current situation, and his son Wu's family is a good choice.

I heard Yao Wenjie say that the Wu family had been working in the "Liangyou" pictorial magazine in their early years, until the mainland magazine was discontinued, and he also participated in the resumption of the magazine after coming to Hong Kong, so it can be said that he knows a lot about the "Liangyou" magazine, and it is a good choice for him to be the editor-in-chief of the republication.

Although the Wu family kept shaking their heads and refusing, Huo Yaowen moved out that this was Wu Lao's hard work, and it couldn't be handed over to outsiders to be responsible, so the Wu family gritted their teeth and nodded and agreed.

This can be regarded as the son inheriting the father's business

In the next few days, Huo Yaowen also visited Wu Lao many times, and as time passed, the day of going to the United States on March 11 was getting closer and closer, and when he bought a plane ticket for the ninth and was about to take a plane to the United States to participate in a mixed martial arts competition the next day, he suddenly received an obituary from Sir Chow.

The obituary in Hong Kong is a bit different from that in the mainland, and some wealthy families will publish obituaries in newspapers and inform them publicly, aiming to let people from all walks of life know, and Zhou Xinian is no exception.

Zhou Xinian's mother Zhou Liu's mourning hall and memorial service were set up on March 10, and for this reason, Huo Yaowen asked people to go to the airport to change the ticket on the 11th

At No. 10, near the junction of King's Road and Java Road in North Point, the traffic is endless, and the Hong Kong funeral parlor, which is commonly known as the "Hong Kong Hotel" by Hong Kong people, has mournful faces on all faces.

“… When the ancestor (the first mother) was alive, she loved the first (father) all her life, and the family was harmonious, and she taught her children to behave in the world, to be kind and virtuous, and to be kind and ......kind to the younger generations, and to care for the younger generations.

When Sir Zhou recited the eulogy on the stage, he remembered all kinds of things about his late mother, which can be described as tears and pain, which attracted the people who came to mourn to empathize with each other, and their eyes were red.

Huo Yaowen sat in the third row, next to Luo Qiaozhen, she didn't know if she remembered anything at this time, her eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Seeing this, Huo Yaowen took out a handkerchief from the inner pocket of his suit, handed it to Luo Qiaozhen, and said softly: "Wipe it." ”

Luo Qiaozhen took the handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Sir Zhou, who was about to step down after reading the eulogy on stage, and sobbed: "... When my father died when I was young, I was too young to feel the impact of my father's death on me, and it wasn't until I was 14 years old that my mother died of illness, and I understood the pain and sadness of losing my loved ones. ”

Alas......

Huo Yaowen gently patted Luo Qiaozhen's back and comforted: "Miss Luo's deceased is gone, the living are still alive, if the second elder is still here, I definitely don't want to see you sad." ”

"Woo ......"

Luo Qiaozhen has always been stronger, but at this moment, it evoked a touch of softness in her heart, and she threw herself into Huo Yaowen's arms and cried loudly.

The surrounding came to mourn everyone, seeing that she was crying so miserably, thinking that she was a relative of the Zhou family, but she couldn't help but feel compassion, and secretly sighed that this woman probably had a very good relationship with the old lady before her death, otherwise she would not have cried so sadly.

And Huo Yaowen, who was suddenly hugged by Luo Qiaozhen, stiffened for a moment, and then was moved by her crying, sighed, and stroked her back to give a little comfort

Soon, as the mourners came to the stage one by one to deliver a eulogy, the master of ceremonies of the memorial service said: "I have invited Mr. Fok Yiuwen, a Justice of the Peace, to deliver a eulogy for Zhou Liu." ”

When Luo Qiaozhen heard this, she wiped the tears on her face, and looked at the clothes on Huo Yaowen's chest being wet, but she was a little embarrassed.

Huo Yaowen didn't care about this, just touched it casually, and then went on stage with a calm face, first bowed to the spiritual platform behind him, and then bowed to Zhou Xinian's family who were kneeling on the ground not far away.

After he took the microphone handed over by the host, the sound of breathing came out through the microphone, and after a pause for a few seconds, Huo Yaowen said a little hoarsely: "Zhou Gongxian Zhou Liu, born in 1882, married Zhou Gongxian Zhou gentleman, and went through Guangxu, Xuantong, and ......the Republic of China."

When he said this, Huo Yaowen suddenly remembered his parents in the previous life, and he didn't know how the two of them were doing after he was reborn, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and Zhou Gong just expressed his endless thoughts and sorrows for his deceased mother Zhou Liu, which makes us empathize with and grief......

“… The ancients said: "Parents are here, don't travel far", I think you have all heard this sentence, but you don't know what the exact meaning of this sentence is. This sentence teaches us that the younger generation should practice filial piety as soon as possible, and do not practice filial piety until the parents are old and weak, or even when they are not alive......

"Parents are here, no matter where they are, we still have concerns in our hearts, every New Year's holiday, sleepless day and night, tea does not think, food does not think, no intention to work, no intention to do anything, that is homesickness, father and mother feelings come to my heart. ”

"If our parents are gone, there is no concern and no expectation at home, and home, like other places we have walked through, is left with endless thoughts, and home has finally become our hometown. ”

“… As the saying goes, parents are here, and there is still a place to come in life......"

When Huo Yaowen said this, his eyes were ruddy, and he couldn't help but cry: "... When parents go, life may only be the way back. ”

As soon as these words came out, it immediately made people cry, and there was a sadness at the memorial service, those old people were all in tears, and the young people were also sad.

Everyone in the Zhou family was crying, several juniors hugged their heads and cried, among which Sir Zhou cried the most sadly, Huo Yaowen's words rang in his ears, and he thought of Zhou's mother Zhou Liu's teachings to him when he was young.

Those relatives and friends who came to mourn and the guests couldn't help but cry when they saw everyone in the Zhou family hugging their heads and Huo Yaowen's tear-jerking words.

"Parents are here, there is still a place to come in life, parents are gone, life may only be a way back......"

Hearing this, Anna was originally relieved a lot, but at this moment, she was also sad, covered her mouth with the handkerchief given by Huo Yaowen, let the running water run across her cheeks, lowered her head, and sobbed loudly
