Huo Yaowen glanced at Li Zhongchen with a strange face, but he didn't expect his younger brother to be the one, and carefully looked at his appearance, the two of them did look very similar.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, ...... to Los Angeles International Airport"

At this time, the airport radio sounded the announcement of the flight attendant bound for the United States.

"It's time for us to go. ”

Nie Hualing turned around and said a word, then carried the suitcase, led Huo Yaowen, Lin Yanni and others, and walked towards the ticket gate.

Soon, the group crossed the ticket gate, crossed the airport to the narrow runway, and boarded the passenger plane.

Because Nie Hualing only bought the plane tickets for Huo Yaowen and Lin Yanni, Li Zhongchen and his mother bought them later, and the seats were relatively separate.

However, Lin Yanni was still very sensible and talked to the flight attendant, ran to change positions with Li Zhongchen, and went to his place to take care of her mother-in-law.

Time passed minute by minute, after all the passengers boarded, the passenger plane did not stay long, under the instructions of the flight attendant, everyone fastened their seat belts, and soon took off.

After the plane stabilized, Li Zhongchen took out a box of cigarettes from the inner pocket of his suit, took out one and put it in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Huo Yaowen at his side.

handed the cigarette case to Huo Yaowen and said, "Mr. Huo, have one?"

Huo Yaowen shook his head and refused: "No, I don't smoke." ”

"It's good not to smoke, I don't want to smoke either, but I just can't quit, hehe......"

Li Zhongchen quickly turned on a button next to the seat, and a small ashtray appeared on the armrest of the seat, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "I'm a little airsick on the plane, so I want to smoke some cigarettes to relieve the pressure." ”

"It's a good way to do it. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled, in the future, in some areas, you can't smoke while driving, let alone public transportation such as airplanes.

"Do you need water and juice?"

At this time, a beautiful flight attendant lady pushed a small cart and walked over slowly.

Li Zhongchen waved his hand and said, "Please bring me a glass of red wine." ”

"Yes sir. ”

The flight attendant skillfully picked up an opened bottle of red wine from the trolley, then took out a goblet from under the cart, poured half of it, and handed it to Li Zhongchen.

"Mr. Huo, do you want a drink?" Li Zhongchen took the red wine, then remembered Huo Yaowen next to him, and asked sideways.

"No, just bring me a glass of water. ”

"Yes sir. The flight attendant also poured a glass of white water and handed it to Huo Yaowen, and asked the two again, "Do you need anything?"

"No thanks. Li Zhongchen shook his head and refused.

"Okay. The flight attendant turned around with a smile on his face and pushed the cart away.

Huo Yaowen took a sip of white water, glanced at Li Zhongchen, who was smoking and drinking next to him, and noticed that the men in the seats in front of him had also lit cigarettes, and the plane was full of smoke all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Huo Yaowen had to sigh that there were really few restrictions on taking planes in this era, not only smoking, but also drinking.

If memory serves, it seems that smoking on passenger planes was banned after the 90s, and it seems that it was because of a foreign passenger plane that passengers threw cigarette butts after smoking, which led to a crash and killed many people, which led to a meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization to ban all passengers from smoking on international flights.

"Ahem......"

There was too much smoke in the cabin, and the smoke was impermeable, so many passengers began to cough, and even Huo Yaowen, who had been used to cigarettes for more than 20 years, coughed twice.

Li Zhongchen glanced at Huo Yaowen, who was coughing, sped up, and after taking a few big puffs of cigarettes, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and closed the lid, and said, "Mr. Huo seems to be very uncomfortable with the smell of smoke." ”

"It's okay, but didn't you notice that the plane was already full of smoke?" Huo Yaowen covered his nose and pointed around.

Li Zhongchen glanced at the cabin and said with a smile: "This is normal, most people who fly are used to it." ”

"Actually, I don't think you should smoke on a plane in the first place. ”

Huo Yaowen said: "The plane is airtight, unlike the train that has windows to ventilate, smoking in the cabin, the smoke not only can't disperse, but stays in the plane all the time, smoking second-hand cigarettes is the most harmful to people's bodies, and if there are passengers throwing cigarette butts and causing fires, I think it will be difficult for the people on the plane to survive." ”

Li Zhongchen frowned, he thought Huo Yaowen was talking about his smoking, but after thinking about the other party's words carefully, he also nodded approvingly: "What Mr. Huo said is good, but it's okay to smoke on the plane, we can not smoke on the plane ourselves, but we can't stop others from smoking." This is unavoidable unless explicitly stated by the airline, and all airlines around the world have always been like this, allowing passengers to smoke on board. ”

"Mr. Li is right, in the absence of explicit regulations, we can only restrain ourselves, not others. ”

Huo Yaowen looked at the visible smoke in the air, and for the first time in his heart he had a sense of disgust for cigarettes, although he had quit smoking, he was actually not dissatisfied with others smoking, but when he smelled the smoke in the cabin, which was so thick that almost every breath of air was mixed with the smell of smoke, he was disgusted and powerless at the same time.

After the first round of smoking passengers stopped smoking, the air in the cabin gradually improved a little, but after lunchtime, the second round of smoking was carried out again.

But maybe Huo Yaowen's words played a little role before, Li Zhongchen, who was sitting next to him, did not smoke again, but drank red wine vigorously, maybe as he said, he was a little airsick on the plane, and he needed to smoke some cigarettes or drink some wine to relieve the pressure.

In this regard, Huo Yaowen's good impression of Li Zhongchen has increased a lot.

........

After a 17-hour flight, the Cathay Pacific airliner landed at Los Angeles International Airport in the early hours of the next morning.

The moment he got off the plane, Huo Yaowen seemed to be reborn, desperately exhaling the fresh air on the airport runway.

Staying in the cabin for almost a day, it can be said that he was completely surrounded by smoke, if Huo Yaowen still smoked, he might not feel any discomfort, but after quitting smoking, he found it really difficult to continue to stay in this environment.

Li Zhongchen, who was next to him, looked at Huo Yaowen and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, you are right, after I don't smoke, I found that it was really uncomfortable to stay on the plane." ”

Huo Yaowen chuckled and said, "Actually, Mr. Li, you can also smoke, anyway, there are a lot of smokers in the cabin." ”

"No, I don't think you like the smell of smoke. Li Zhongchen waved his hand.

Huo Yaowen laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Li is really thinking about others. ”

Li Zhongchen smiled but did not speak.

At this time, Lin Yanni walked down from the plane with her mother-in-law and Nie Hualing in her arms, saw that her husband and Huo Yaowen were chatting happily next to the plane, and asked with a smile: "Zhongchen, why are you talking to Mr. Huo so happy?!"

"It's nothing, it's just talking about the fact that planes don't smoke. Li Zhongchen said.

"Oh?"

Lin Yanni covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Huo, don't you know that my husband can be uncomfortable without smoking for a day when he is at home." ”

Nie Hualing next to her followed: "Smoking on the plane is really annoying, but you can get used to it after sitting a few more times." ”

"Hmm. ”

Huo Yaowen nodded, glanced at his watch, at this time, it was more than three o'clock in the night, looking at the dark night in the sky, and asked, "Ms. Nie, should we go by car next, or?"

Nie Hualing glanced at her lady's watch, glanced at the old lady next to her, and said, "Find a place to rest for the night first, and buy a ticket to Iowa tomorrow morning." ”

Lin Yanni said at this time: "Ms. Nie, my husband and I may need to send my mother-in-law to my uncle's place first, and we will be able to go to the University of Iowa in Iowa later." ”

Nie Hualing smiled and said, "It's not in the way, it will officially start the day after tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if it's a day or two late." ”

Several people walked out of the airport hall while chatting, and when they arrived outside the airport, Huo Yaowen was about to call a taxi when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar looking man coming over from the corner of his eye.

When the man saw the old queen mother supported by Lin Yanni, he suddenly ran over excitedly and shouted, "Mom!"

Mother Li may be very tired from taking the plane, and the whole person is very tired, but when she heard the familiar voice, she opened her eyes wide and saw that the person who came was her second son, and Mrs. He said with joy on her face: "Xiaolong!"

"Mom. ”

Since the death of Lee's father, Bruce Lee took his wife and children back to Hong Kong to worship, and he has not returned for almost two or three years, and he is very happy to see his mother at this time.

Li Zhongchen walked over and hugged his brother, happy and puzzled: "Xiaolong, why are you here?"

Bruce Lee smiled at his eldest brother and said: "Two days ago, eldest brother, you sent a telegram saying that you were going to take your mother to the United States to see me by plane, so I checked the flight from Hong Kong to the United States and specially drove to pick you up." ”

"Driving here from San Francisco?" Li Zhongchen said in surprise.

Bruce Lee laughed: "Haha, big brother, I already opened a new martial arts gym in Los Angeles' Chinatown last year, and I happened to teach here this year." ”

"Okay, you kid, how many martial arts gyms have you opened?" Li Zhongchen was happy that his brother was doing well in the United States.

Bruce Lee smiled and stretched out three fingers and said, "Originally, there were already three stores! in Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles, but this year I received a Hollywood movie invitation and had to temporarily close which one in Seattle." ”

"Haha, Xiaolong can mix in the United States, and he has received an invitation to a Hollywood movie?"

Hearing his brother say this, Li Zhongchen was overjoyed, and then he remembered Huo Yaowen and Nie Hualing beside him, and said: "Xiaolong, let me introduce you, this is Ms. Nie Hualing Nie, I came to the United States to see you this time, mainly because your sister-in-law participated in a writing cultural exchange competition in the United States, so she can have time to see you." ”

"Hello Ms. Nie. Bruce Lee reached out and shook Nie Hualing's hand.

Nie Hualing smiled and nodded, "Hello Mr. Li." ”

"This is Mr. Fok Yiu-man Huo, he is a philosophy teacher at the University of Hong Kong, and his teacher is also like you, both graduated from the University of Washington, but he is studying philosophy. ”

Bruce Lee's eyes lit up, shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Huo is a philosophy teacher?"

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Bruce Lee said: "I like philosophy very much, it allows me to understand martial arts better. ”

"I'm also very interested in Guoshu, and I just want to write a novel about Guoshu recently, so I will definitely communicate with Mr. Li when I have the opportunity. ”

"Really?"

Bruce Lee was very happy when he heard that Huo Yaowen liked Guoshu, and when he was really about to continue to say something, he only heard Li Zhongchen next to him say: "Okay Xiaolong, let's go back and talk about it, where is your car? Let's take the car back to you first." ”

"Good. Bruce Lee replied, turned around and drove the car.

Li Zhongchen said to Nie Hualing: "Ms. Nie, why don't you go to your brother's martial arts hall for a night of rest first, and then take a plane after dawn?"

"I'm sorry for you. Nie Hualing smiled and nodded.

Soon, a group of several people got into the car and headed for Bruce Lee's Zhenfan Martial Arts Hall.
