One evening in mid-December, three brothers, Li Huawen, Li Hualong and Li Huahu, had dinner with a few friends at the Holiday Inn.

After dinner, Li Huawen and Li Hualong took a car home.

On the way home, Li Huawen said: "Yesterday, Sheng Quan wrote a letter back. ”

Last night, Li Hualong was not at home, but spent the night in the film city in Clear Water Bay, and did not know the news that his nephew had written back.

"What are you writing about?" Li Hualong smiled.

"He said the winter break won't be coming this year."

"Why?" Li Hualong asked puzzled.

"The winter vacation is too short, one back and forth, most of the time is consumed on the way, and he wants to use the winter vacation time to study hard."

"He stays at school alone, doesn't he feel lonely?"

"No, he said that a few good friends would stay in school too."

"It's good to have someone to accompany you, it seems that Sheng Quan's ability to make friends is not bad, and his personality is suitable for business. Did he say, how is the academic performance? ”

In the letter, he said that he had been praised by his teachers many times. Last night, I talked to your sister-in-law, and at the beginning of next year, if there is no too important thing to leave, then your sister-in-law and I will go to London. ”

"That's fine. Neither you nor your sister-in-law have been to London yet. ”

"You haven't been there yet, hehe, are you going to go to the UK to play when your children grow up and go to the UK to study?"

"The UK is too far away, even if you fly there, it's not very convenient. Are you and your sister-in-law going to fly or do you want to take a ship? ”

"I wanted to fly, although it was expensive, but it saved time, but your sister-in-law was afraid of flying. It's also good to take a boat, and I will accompany your sister-in-law more on this trip. ”

"When I have the opportunity in the future, I will find time to go to the UK for a few days."

"If you want, maybe the Queen of England will give you a knighthood." Li Huawen said with a smile.

"This is the same thing." Li Hualong smiled faintly, "Big brother, don't you know, I'm not interested in knighthoods or anything." ”

"I remember you said, hehe, I'll just say it casually." Li Huawen glanced at Li Hualong a few times, "If the Hong Kong Governor appoints you as a Justice of the Peace next time, how do you plan to resign?" ”

"The eldest brother has not yet obtained the Justice of the Peace, and I, as the younger brother, should not have obtained it first."

"Aren't you afraid that the Governor of Hong Kong will think that you are shameless?" Li Huawen quipped.

"I'm afraid, but not very afraid. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. There's no need to worry too much about it. ”

"I don't think you need to be like this, it's a good thing to be a Justice of the Peace, it's ...... for you"

"Stop!" Li Hualong interrupted with a smile, "Big brother, I'm quite satisfied with my current speed of making money, if I take advantage of any good thing, I'm afraid it's too much." ”

"Then I won't say more, you have more ideas than I do."

January 27, 1960, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The lack of Li Shengquan in the family did not affect the mood of the Li family, and they were happy and lively for the New Year.

Shortly after the Chinese New Year, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Huawen and Zhou Liyun boarded a ship bound for London, and before that, they had already written a letter to Li Shengquan and sent a telegram to inform Li Shengquan of the news of their trip to London.

On this cross-ocean trip, Li Huawen and Zhou Liyun stayed outside for nearly a month, and they returned to Hong Kong on the second day of the second lunar month.

Time flies, and the summer of 1960 has arrived.

One evening in late June, Li Huahu returned to his parents' house for dinner, while his wife stayed at her parents' house to be with her father-in-law.

Li Hualong smiled and said: "Ah Hu, my younger brother and sister are about to give birth, at this time, you should spend more time with her at home." ”

Li Huahu joked: "Third brother, no, I'll just eat your meal, you are so careful." ”

"You weren't drunk at noon today, were you?" Li Hualong teased, "The vegetables and rice you eat are not bought by me, and the salary of the cooking maid is not paid by me." You said to eat my meal, but you are wrong. ”

"Ah Hu, you are not young anymore, you have children, don't joke." Li Yisong said with a straight face, "What your third brother said is right, you should accompany Cuiping more." ”

"Abba, in the past few days, I've been at home with Cuiping, I don't want you and Grandma anymore, come and see you."

"You have a heart." Li Song smiled, "Have you figured out what to name your child?" ”

"I don't know if it's a son or a daughter, and I haven't wanted to name it yet."

"Ah Hu, do you like your daughter, or do you like your son?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.

"I already have a son, and I want a daughter now."

"I wish my brother and sister another son." Li Hualong joked.

"Third brother, you're too bad." Li Huahu smiled bitterly, "There is nothing bad about having another child." Third brother, what are you busy with these days? ”

"Busy."

"Have you written a new movie script?" Li Huahu asked curiously.

"Written. Filming is ready to start next month. ”

"Cow!" Li Huahu smiled and gave Li Hualong a thumbs up, "It's good that I have a talent like you." ”

"Don't envy me, you should envy Abba and Aunt for giving birth to a good son. In the future, you should raise your children well. ”

"How can you say that about yourself." Li Song said happily, "Your character is not good, aren't you afraid that your children will follow a bad example?" ”

"I think it's a good character." Li Huahu smiled, "Grandma, the third brother is so good, are you still not satisfied?" ”

"I'm not dissatisfied...... Li Song glanced at Li Hualong and sighed, "Sometimes, I don't like the way he speaks. ”

"Hehe, Grandma, you can be content, the third brother is not talking like this to amuse you."

"I, sometimes, the mentality is too young, and I will pay attention to the way I speak in the future." Li Hualong smiled.

After chatting a few words, Li Song said: "Ah Hu, next year, you can bring Cuiping back, she went to the hospital from her mother's house to give birth, which is a little unreasonable." ”

Li Huahu was slightly stunned, thought about it carefully, and felt that what his mother said made sense, if outsiders knew about it, someone would say nonsense.

"When I go back, I'll tell Cui Ping that she won't have an opinion." Li Huahu smiled and said, "Grandma, do you think I'm too used to Cuiping?" ”

"No, a man who feels sorry for his wife is a good man." Li Song smiled.

The next morning, Li Huawen returned to his parents' house with his wife.

A few days later, on the afternoon of June 28, Li Huahu, who was working at the Holiday Inn, received a call from his mother.

"Fourth, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth." Li Song said hurriedly.

When Li Huahu heard his mother's voice, his heart chuckled, he was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously, "She, what's wrong with her?" Fetal water breaks? ”

"Nope. She has a stomachache and I'm taking her to the hospital now. You go to the hospital right away. ”

"Okay, okay...... Grandma, don't worry, my third brother is at home, right? ”

"Yes, he'll take your wife to the hospital with me. Stopped talking, I hung up the phone. ”

Li Huahu had already set up a delivery room for his wife in the hospital, and as early as five days ago, Fang Cuiping could be admitted to the hospital, but she couldn't get used to the smell of the hospital and insisted on staying at home for a few more days.

On this day, Li Hualong did not go out to work, but stayed at home to write movie scripts.

After Li Song hung up the phone, she and Li Hualong sent Fang Cuiping to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, Fang Cuiping was pushed into the delivery room by doctors and nurses.

In less than an hour after entering the delivery room, Fang Cuiping gave birth to a daughter safely.

After the child was born, a young female nurse walked out of the maternity and reported the good news: "Mr. Li, congratulations, you are a daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe." ”

"Thank you, nurse!" Li Song took out a red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to the nurse.

"You're welcome, thank you, Mrs. Li." The nurse had a smile on her face, and although she hadn't opened the red envelope yet, she felt that it contained a lot of money.
