Yaowen, next week is Xiufen's wedding day, don't you forget it for me then, you have to remember to come over a day earlier, do you?"

Listening to Huo's mother's reminder on the other end of the phone, Huo Yaowen responded: "Mom, I know, I have always remembered it in my heart." ”

"Just remember. Huo Mu's voice changed, and she said, "What about Xiaobao and Xiaohu?"

"Sent to kindergarten. ”

"Sent to school? so fast? Didn't you just move in yesterday?"

"Anna had communicated with the principal of the kindergarten before, and said that she would send her to the school today. ”

"This ...... Children don't cry, do they?"

Huo's mother couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, this was the first time that the two children had left their families.

Huo Yaowen said happily: "Cry, Mom, you underestimate your two grandchildren too much." When they went to kindergarten, they couldn't have been happier, but when they arrived at school and saw so many children, they had already played together. ”

"That's good. Huo's mother was also relieved when she heard her son say this, but she still said, "Why don't I move to your place in two days?" and help you pick up the children from school." ”

"Don't worry about Mom for the time being, when the school officially starts in August, I'll ask you to come and help me bring it." ”

"Okay, I'll hang up the phone first, and I'll go to your third uncle's house with your father and grandma later, and discuss with him the specific arrangements for Xiufen's wedding day. ”

"Well, say hello to Xiufen on my behalf and tell her that I will definitely prepare a good gift for her. ”

After speaking, Huo Yaowen chatted with his mother for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

"Who's calling?" Anna pushed open the door to the study and walked in, placing a plate of washed fruit on the desk.

Huo Yaowen picked up a piece of sliced apple and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's Mom, she told me about Xiufen's marriage." ”

"It seems like it's not a few days, it's the twentieth, right?" Anna counted the days.

"Well, that day. Huo Yaowen grabbed Anna's little hand and led her into his arms to sit down, "You help me think about what gift to give Xiufen." ”

Anna thought about it seriously and said: "If a young man or woman gets married in the UK, they will write a list of gifts in advance, listing the gifts they want to receive, and the guests can choose according to their financial means. When Brandt got married a few years ago, he made a list and I gave them a bread machine. ”

"I'll just say what you did with the bread machine that day. Huo Yaowen instantly recalled that when he attended Brant's wedding a few years ago, he felt very strange when he saw Anna carrying an unopened bread machine.

"It's a British tradition, it's about buying a new home for the shy, and the second is about avoiding duplicate gifts," says Anna. ”

"That's pretty much the same as ours. Huo Yaowen smiled, this is a bit similar to Chinese wedding gifts, I remember that when I was a child, my relatives got married, and the family gave family daily necessities such as hot water bottles, quilts, and basins. It's just that they didn't deliberately make a list of gifts like the British.

Anna asked, "So what are we going to send?"

"I don't know, you can help me think about it, you can be a little more valuable. "After all, it's the only cousin who is married, no matter what Huo Yaowen says, it's impossible to send a thermos or a basin, right? Even if it's an air conditioner, a refrigerator, and a TV, it's a bit out of reach.

"Do you want to give a pair of bracelets?" Anna thought of the pair of family heirloom jade bracelets that Huo Yaowen gave her before she got married.

"It's not impossible to have a bracelet, think about anything else. ”

"Where's the necklace?"

"Not suitable. ”

"That ......"

When Anna was seriously speaking her thoughts, Huo Yaowen's eyes slowly moved to the two large canteens, before giving birth, Zhang's mother usually didn't go upstairs during the day, so even if it was during the day, she wouldn't be disturbed. But with the birth of the two little guys, the hyperactive Xiaobao often ran around, going up and down the stairs back and forth.

On weekdays, that is, when the two of them were sent to live with Grandma, Huo Yaowen had a chance, but he has been living in a villa in the middle of the mountain for most of the last half a year, and he has not had anything in the day for a long time.

"I don't think Xiufen seems to have a car yet, or we will send a trolley to... Hmm~~" Just when she was about to say that she was about to send the trolley, Anna suddenly felt that the cafeteria was being held tightly, and her ass was also pushed up, and she snorted subconsciously.

"Don't make a fuss, it's still daytime. Anna blushed.

"How nice it is during the day. You see it's sunny today. ”

Huo Yaowen looked at the window, a touch of sunlight shone in through the gauze curtains, whether it was the weather or the environment of the study, it was very suitable for the next physical and mental exercise.

While he was still flickering, the phone rang suddenly.

Huo Yaowen hurriedly picked up the phone, "Hey!"

The voice was a little thick, Zhang Chengyi on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned, and said, "It's me Yaowen, what's wrong with you?"

"Teacher Zhang, it's okay, it's just that my throat is a little dry. When Huo Yaowen heard that it was Zhang Chengyi, he coughed twice.

"Oh, I just called Mid-Levels and your mother said you moved to Kowloon Tong?"

"Yes, just moved here yesterday. ”

"Will you be free later?"

"There should be, what's wrong teacher?"

"Oh, that's right, do you still have an impression of the Japanese writer named Shinichi Hoshi?"

"Xing Shinichi, I remember, isn't the exchange meeting over? Why hasn't he returned to Japan yet?"

Huo Yaowen said while glancing at Anna who got up, and saw that she raised her fingers and shook them, and said with a lip sync: I'll go downstairs first. Then he smiled and opened the door and went out.

Zhang Chengyi said: "No, I have been staying in the hotel arranged for him by the Chinese University in the past two days, and just called me in the afterglow, saying that Xing Xinyi wanted to visit you, so he dragged me to call you to see if you were free and make an appointment to meet." ”

"Ask me to meet me?"

"I don't know. Originally, I refused, but after all, people were invited by us, and it is not easy to refuse from the Chinese University, plus I have known Yu Guangzhong for many years, if you have time, arrange to meet that Xingxin. ”

"Okay, just today. ”

……

More than an hour passed.

Xing Xinyi and his translator followed Yu Guangzhong and Zhang Chengyi to the Kowloon Tong mansion where Huo Yaowen lived.

As soon as he entered the door, Xing Xinyi apologized and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to bother." ”

"It's okay, it's rare for my family to have a few guests on weekdays, but today there are three distinguished guests at once, and it's too late for me to be happy. ”

Huo Yaowen happily invited the three of them to sit down in the living room, and Zhang's mother on the side brought up the tea that had been prepared.

After everyone sat down, Xing Shinichi took a beautifully packaged large box from the translator's hand and said, "When we visited the host's house for the first time in Japan, we needed to give some small gifts, which are our Japanese specialties matcha and brown rice tea, and I also asked Mr. Huo to accept it with a smile." ”

"You're welcome. Mr. Xing just came, and what kind of gifts to give. Huo Yaowen said so, but he still took the gift with his hand, which is polite, not greedy.

Zhang Chengyi said with a smile: "Guangzhong and I came empty-handed today, Yaowen, you won't be unhappy." ”

"Haha, how could it be, Teacher Zhang! It's rare for you to come here as a student, even if you don't bring anything, I will definitely welcome you with both hands. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen smiled, looked at Yu Guangzhong and said, "As for Professor Yu, if you are embarrassed, how about you go to the study and give me a line of poems later?" I have read a few poems you wrote in the Literary Weekly before, but I like them very much, and I have never been embarrassed to ask for them. ”

Yu Guangzhong on the side said happily: "No problem, if Mr. Huo likes it, I will write a few more, as long as I don't dislike my poor writing." ”

"How could it be. ”

A few people chatted with each other and laughed.

Xingxin saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and he also took the initiative to explain his intentions: "That's the case, Mr. Huo, I take the liberty to disturb you, I want to ask you to write a miniature science fiction article on behalf of Cosmic Dust magazine." ”

"Miniature sci-fi?" Huo Yaowen was slightly stunned, secretly thinking that this Xing Xinyi would not be spying on himself, how did he know that he had only written several short essays on sci-fi recently?

"Yes Mr. Huo! Cosmic Dust Doujinshi was founded by me and my friends, and it is also quite well-known in Japan, before I came to Hong Kong, there were many readers who wrote letters, hoping to invite Mr. Huo to write a manuscript in our magazine, I know that Mr. Huo is usually busy with work, I am afraid it is difficult to write some long articles, so I beg Mr. Huo to write a miniature science fiction. ”
