"Stop messing around." He Fang carried her daughter upstairs when she fell asleep. She refused to continue talking nonsense with Li He.
Li He didn't mind. How was it messing around when he was doing something indecent with better results?
He gulped down a mouthful of beer and picked up a mouthful of food. Suddenly, he felt a big furry ball under his feet. Then, he felt something sticky on his ankle. He stepped back and looked down. He said happily, "Ah Cai, you still have a conscience. You still remember me."
Ah Cai was easy to recognize. When the siblings fought, Ah Wang scratched off a corner of his neck. He was bald and hairless.
Ever since Li He brought it to Old Madam Yu, he rarely saw Ah Cai.
Ah Cai's claws were already on the table. Its eyes were fixed on the braised pork and refused to leave.
"Come down. I'll only give you one piece." Li He picked up a piece and placed it on the table.
Ah Cai licked it. His throat didn't move and the meat slid into his stomach. He was still lying on the table and refused to come down.
"Ah Cai, come down. Don't be rude." Old Madam Yu was already using her walking stick. She scolded Ah Cai after entering. "If you don't behave, I'll keep you at home."
After being scolded, Ah Cai got down from the table and circled around the old madam. Then, he turned and ran away.
"Auntie, I have plenty of places to stay. You don't have anyone at home. Why don't you stay here? You're making yourself tired by running back and forth. "Li He brought a chair for the old madam.
"You eat your meal. I'm not a guest. I run around a few times a day." His wife and grandson were overseas. Yu Dehua was not home all year round. Old Madam Yu liked to go to the Li family whenever she could not stay at home. She didn't sit down. Instead, she held her walking stick firmly and smiled. "It's not like I'm living here. It's not like I don't have a home. I have a chauffeur and Auntie. It's convenient for me."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." When it came to He Fang's confinement, Li He sometimes didn't trust his mother's old-fashioned and superstitious methods. He still relied on Old Madam Yu to help him with many things.
Old Madam Yu is good with words and knows how to coax people. Wang Yulan trusts her in many aspects.
Old Madam Yu said, "Your little girl is really not bad. She doesn't cry or make a fuss. She eats, drinks, and sleeps peacefully. She really saves a lot of trouble."
She also liked Li Yi very much.
Li He grinned and said, "Not bad, not bad."
He then asked, "What has Uncle Li been doing recently?"
Old Madam Yu said, "He was here yesterday. I heard that you came back today, so he might be here soon. Her shop's business was really good. Her son, Jia Sheng, decided to give up his business in Thailand and set up his business in Hong Kong. He might as well give the shop to his son. "
"Then I can have a good rest." Li He trusted Old Man Lee's sharp eyes and shrewd mind. With him running the business, it would be unreasonable if he didn't make a fortune. With just a little bit of his son's capital, in just a few years, he had surpassed his son's entire life's fortune.
It was said that the Li Family of Qianmen Street was very popular among the older generation in Hong Kong.
He was loyal to his friends, and his ability was unquestionable. Although he had a string of bad habits, he didn't take women seriously, and lived a very contradictory and aggrieved life.
He was just delayed by the times. Li He still remembered how shabby he looked when they first met.
Old Madam Yu said, "Rest? Where is he going to rest from? He left some for his son, but he can't leave some for his daughter, right? His daughter is his flesh and blood. He wants to leave some for his daughter and bring her to his side. "
"That's what he should do." Li He understood Old Man Lee. He owed his son and daughter, so he would naturally think of ways to make up for it with the rest of his life.
Old Madam Yu went to look for Wang Yulan to chat. Li He lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
But he didn't sleep for long before he was woken up by someone.
"Can't you burn joss paper? Can't you appear in my dreams? Why are you waking me up! "
Li He looked at Loud Speaker Quan angrily. He really wanted to beat him up.
"I was the one who woke you up. What's the matter?" He Fang passed a towel to Li He. "I've been waiting for more than an hour. How dare you?"
After Li He wiped his face, he kept the towel and went to do his own things.
Loud Speaker Quan felt wronged and didn't say a word.
Li He woke up and awkwardly stuffed a cigarette into Loud Speaker Quan's mouth and lit it for himself. "What's the matter?"
Loud Speaker Quan took out a DVD from his pocket. "I just acquired Huang Baiming's Oriental Film Company. I only spent 1 million, 70% of the profits. I have a script, and I only used 13 days to shoot a film. Do you want to take a look?"
His film company had been running for a few years, but it didn't make any profits. He felt a little guilty talking to Li He.
"Huang Baiming?" Li He was no stranger to this name. He took the DVD from Loud Speaker Quan and put it into the DVD player.
Before the first line was spoken, the opening credits showed Stephen Chow, Ada Wu, Mandy Cheung, Wu Junru, and Leslie Cheung with their arms crossed and smiling at the camera.
The words "Happy Event at Home" made Li He feel even more familiar.
Li He continued to watch the film seriously. The plot was slightly different from what he remembered, but there weren't many changes. The film told the story of the three brothers of the Chang family: the eldest brother Chang Man, the second brother Chang Shu, and the third brother Chang Huan.
Huang Baiming, Leslie Cheung, and Stephen Chow played the roles of the three brothers.
Wu Junru's acting was even better. Although she didn't have to do it on purpose, she vividly portrayed Mrs. Cheng's image as a careful and kind housewife through the trivial things in her daily life.
"It's okay." Li He gave a pertinent comment.
"I think it's okay too." Loud Speaker Quan smiled.
"When will it be screened?" Li He was getting impatient. Because of him, Stephen Chow's "Gambling Sage" and "Truant's Mighty Dragon" had disappeared. This made him feel guilty. The King of Comedy must not end in his hands.
"As long as you agree, it can be screened tomorrow!"
"Then hurry up." Li He didn't want to waste time with him.
"Of course, of course." Loud Speaker Quan exited the film from the DVD player and left.
Li He started to think about how to celebrate his daughter's one-month birthday. He couldn't rely on Guo Dongyun for everything. For example, the wine. According to the rules, the banquets were usually red wine, and he had to prepare it himself. He immediately called Ivanov and asked him to send over a batch of wine from his Masandra Winery.
His basement never lacked red wine, and he even had the world's top wines. But it was difficult to find the same batch, the same brand, and the same age of red wine.
He couldn't possibly use five or six types of wine for a banquet.
At the very least, the hotel could not be short of wine, but to find wine of the quality of the Crimean Masandra winery, it was hard to come by in the world.
