"Writing Meeting?"

Zhang Chengyi frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that Huo Yaowen had written a novel in the newspaper before, and said soothingly: "Who invited you?"

"Nie Hualing. ”

Immediately, Huo Yaowen told Nie Hualing's "International Writing Project".

Zhang Chengyi pondered for a few seconds, looked up at him, and said, "You want to go?"

"Well, it's a great opportunity. Huo Yaowen nodded.

Hearing Huo Yaowen say this, Zhang Chengyi looked for it on the desk, and after looking out the freshman class schedule, he glanced at the courses for the next ten days, and said: "You have two classes next week, which means that if you go to the United States this time, you will have at least four classes in half a month." Actually, I can help you take a shift, but now the school is very busy with the affairs of the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Law, and I not only have to take the second and third year students, but also discuss some affairs of the Department of Philosophy with Professor Luke. ”

Before Huo Yaowen could feel nervous and think that he couldn't take leave, he only heard Zhang Chengyi say again: "However, Professor Luke discussed it with me the day before yesterday, thinking that since a new philosophy department will be opened next year, I am afraid that there will be some changes in this year's philosophy elective courses next year, and asked me if I can let Anna Isabel take a few classes with the students first, so the matter of substitute teaching can also be handed over to Anna Isabel." ”

"In other words, it can?" Huo Yaowen's face was happy.

"In principle, it's okay for you to take a leave of absence for half a month, but you still have to go through the director of the college, but if you go to this international writing exchange meeting this time, it is a good thing to talk about it to the outside world, and I think Director Huang will approve it. ”

As soon as Huo Yaowen heard Teacher Zhang say this, he immediately felt that there was a play, so he hurriedly stood up, walked behind the teacher, helped him rub his shoulders, and said, "Teacher, I think with you, Director Huang should nod in agreement." ”

Zhang Chengyi felt the strength on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay to pinch, but you still have to go by yourself about the matter of asking for leave, I will tell Director Huang about it, but if he doesn't let him go, then I can't help it." ”

"If a teacher comes out, Director Huang will definitely agree. Huo Yaowen smiled.

Zhang Chengyi smiled and said, "Haha...... Don't say that, I'm afraid that Director Huang won't agree when the time comes, and you still blame me!"

"How could it be, teacher!"

"Okay, okay, don't pinch it, you have a class in the afternoon, go and prepare, by the way, write a leave note, and accompany me to Chinese University tomorrow." ”

"Good teacher. ”

...

Two days later.

Huo Yaowen packed his luggage at home and prepared to go to Kai Tak Airport and go to Iowa in the United States with Nie Hualing.

Seeing her son packing up his clothes there, Huo's mother complained: "Awen, why do you want to go to the United States for half a month, and you don't notice in advance, I can prepare more things for you." ”

"No need, Mom. ”

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he raised his head and chuckled and said, "I'm not going to the United States and not coming back, and everything is ready over there, I just need to bring a few sets of change of clothes." ”

The grandma next to her looked at her good grandson, sighed and said: "In the early years, your grandfather also wanted to study abroad, and his goal was to go to Harvard University in the United States, but then your grandfather died and had to go home to inherit ......the family business.

Huo Yaowen saw that Grandma's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa is for the country, I think even if he goes to study abroad, he will join the army to serve the country after returning to China." ”

"Alright, let's not talk about these old things. Grandma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile: "Where did you go in the United States?"

"Iowa in the middle of the United States. ”

"How far is it from San Francisco's Chinatown?" Grandma asked.

"This ......" Huo Yaowen thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of roads." ”

"Forget it. Grandma also said when she heard that there were a lot of roads.

"What's the matter, Grandma?" Huo Yaowen asked.

Grandma said: "I have a brother who settled in the United States when he was 40 years old, and I haven't had much contact with him over the years, but I still want to know how he is doing. ”

"Mom, are you talking about Zhang Huawei and Uncle Zhang?" The mother next to her was surprised: "Didn't he go to the United States to do business after I married Chengcai? It seems that he has not been in touch for many years, right?"

Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, but when he wrote to him in the early years, he left an address, I think he opened a restaurant, and he shouldn't move so easily." ”

"Okay, Grandma, you give me the address, I'll take the time to go. Huo Yaowen nodded.

Grandma said: "Won't it be troublesome? If it's troublesome, forget it." ”

"It's not troublesome, anyway, I went to this writing exchange meeting, and I have half a month, and I have time to go to San Francisco, I think it should be in time. ”

Grandma saw what her grandson said, thought about it, then turned around and went into the bedroom, took out a somewhat yellowed letter paper from it, handed it to Huo Yaowen and said: "This is the last letter he wrote ten years ago, when we moved to the estate, there was no contact, and then I also wrote to this address, but I don't know why, there has been no reply." ”

Huo Yaowen took the letterhead, and the address on it was written Zhang Ji Restaurant, No. 371 Duban Street, Chinatown.

Huo Yaowen cherished the letter paper into his wallet and said, "Okay, I'll go there then." ”

When my mother saw the wallet, she remembered and said, "Do you have enough money?" Do you want me to go to the bank and withdraw some for you?"

"Enough. Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "I changed some dollars, which is enough to stay in the United States for half a month, and the accommodation and meals are provided, so it doesn't cost too much at all." ”

Yesterday, Huo Yaowen went to HSBC to exchange some US dollars, five Hong Kong dollars for one dollar, and he directly exchanged five thousand Hong Kong dollars.

After speaking, Huo Yaowen glanced at his watch, it was already past eight o'clock, and hurriedly said, "It's time for me to go." ”

"Do you want Grandma to send you?" Grandma said angrily: "Your old bean is also true, your son went to the United States and was still sleeping lazily in bed." ”

"No need for Grandma, I'll just be alone, and I'll go with someone, you don't have to worry. Huo Yaowen carried a suitcase, turned around and was about to go out, suddenly remembered his sister, he smiled: "Sister go home and tell her that I will bring her a gift when I come back from the United States." ”

"Don't waste that money. Mother waved her hand, reluctant to spend the money.

Huo Yaowen smiled silently, watched his mother go out with him, turned around and said, "No need to send my mother, I'll go." ”

"Be careful in the United States. ”

"Got it. ”

...

Built in 1925, Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport is the only aviation airport in Hong Kong, named after LegCo member Ho Kai and Chinese business district tak in the 20s.

In many Hong Kong films in later generations, there are pictures of planes taking off at Kai Tak Airport.

Because Kai Tak Airport has only one runway, it is surrounded by high-density buildings, and the space is very small. As a result, nearby residents can often see an Airbus flying overhead at a low altitude within reach, flying over a large group of buildings, which can be said to be a great test of the pilot's skills.

When Huo Yaowen arrived at the departure hall of Kai Tak Airport, he saw Nie Hualing sitting there with Lin Yanni and a couple of men and women.

"Mr. Huo is here. Nie Hualing smiled and waved her hand.

Huo Yaowen walked over with his suitcase and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Ms. Nie, I'm a little late, I'm sorry." ”

"It's out of the way, the plane has ten minutes to take off, and I've just arrived. ”

Lin Yanni next to her stood up at this time and said, "Huo Sheng, this is my husband, Li Zhongchen, director of the Hong Kong Observatory. ”

Li Zhongchen stretched out his hand, looked at Huo Yaowen with a smile on his face, and said: "Hello Mr. Huo, I heard my wife say earlier that Mr. Huo is a teacher at the University of Hong Kong. ”

Huo Yaowen shook hands and smiled: "Ms. Lin is too polite. ”

Lin Yanni said: "My husband has a younger brother who has been working in the United States for several years, so this time my husband and my mother-in-law will go to visit him together. ”

Huo Yaowen looked in the direction that Lin Yanni pointed, and saw an old man sitting there, looking at himself with a smile, and he also smiled back politely.

Maybe it's because the next few people are going to the United States, and it will inevitably be a little embarrassing if they are not familiar with each other, Li Zhongchen also found a topic and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when my brother was studying in college in the United States, he also studied philosophy, and when he arrived in the United States, maybe Mr. Huo could talk to my brother." ”

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to raise the topic, Huo Yaowen responded: "Oh? I don't know that Mr. Li's younger brother studied philosophy at that university in the United States?"

"University of Washington, Seattle. ”

"This is from the same school as my teacher!" Huo Yaowen chuckled: "It seems that I still have a bit of fate with Mr. Li." ”

"Haha, it's fate. But this kid is not as good as Mr. Huo, after finishing college, it is not good to find a job, and he actually opened a martial arts gym in the United States. ”

"Open a martial arts hall?" Huo Yaowen was stunned.

"Yes, my brother was weak when he was a child, so my father sent him to study Wing Chun to strengthen his body, and later he fell in love with martial arts. ”

Wing Chun, philosophy, Kaiwu Hall.

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what the name of Mr. Li's younger brother is?"
