There are only five days left before leaving the country. Xi Haitang and the children are making final preparations. Of course, before leaving, the most important thing is the unforgettable family love.
"Grandpa, we will miss you after we go to Denmark, what should we do?!" Xiao Chennu was beside Xiang Jianhao, with reluctance written on his face.
Although Yunhen can't express emotions like Xiaochen, his eyes are still full of reluctance.
Seeing the two children being so affectionate towards their grandfather, Xi Haitang felt comforted, but also felt even more sad. She knelt down and stayed by her father's side, "Dad, when we get settled there, we'll pick up
You and Feiyang will go too."
Xiang Jianhao shook his head with a smile, "Weier, dad is old and has difficulty moving, so it won't go away. Dad just needs to know that you are living a happy life."
"But I'm not worried..."
"Silly girl, dad is not a child, I can take care of myself, and besides, I still have Feiyang, right?"
Xi Haitang pursed her lips slightly, but she was still entangled in her heart. In the past few years, she could not let go of one thing, "Dad...it was all my fault back then. Gu Xijue had the opportunity to help you keep the investment bank."
, we planned to get married at first, but we didn’t expect that later..."
Xiang Jianhao sighed quietly, his eyes full of affection, "Silly girl, why do you still blame yourself for this kind of thing? Compared with investment banking, my father hopes that your marriage with him will be based on love.
Investment banking is my career based on profit, but you are my daughter. How can your career be compared with your daughter? As long as you live a happy life, nothing else matters. Now you and Gu Xijue can finally do it.
We are in love and together, dad is happy for you, you must live a happy life, you know?!"
"I know!" Xi Haitang couldn't help but want to cry. Tears of happiness always come too quickly.
Compared with the sadness of the adults, the children seemed more optimistic. Xiaochen and Yunhen looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then made a promise, "Grandpa, don't worry, when we grow up, we will help you with it."
If the investment bank buys it back, it will expand the scale ten times!"
"Haha... Okay, grandpa has given you the important task, you have to work hard!"
"Yeah!" The two children nodded solemnly, then looked at the time, "Ah, it's almost ten o'clock. Grandpa, didn't you say you wanted to take us to the museum? Let's leave quickly. If we are late, it will be too late!"
Xiang Jianhao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, today's exhibition is international. It's hard to get a ticket. Fortunately, I made a reservation in advance."
Xi Haitang blinked in confusion. She didn't understand why her father had to go to the museum before the children went abroad?!
◎◎◎
As Xiang Jianhao said, there were many people going to the museum to see the exhibition, and it was almost overcrowded. Xi Haitang had to take care of his father and two children at the same time, which seemed a bit inadequate. He accidentally bumped into the person in front of him.
And he's British
"I'm sorry..." The person who was hit in front said sorry faster than her.
Xi Haitang was a little confused. She was obviously the one who bumped into someone first, but the other person said sorry first. She was very surprised.
On the side, Xiang Feiyang laughed softly, "Sister, don't be surprised, the British are like this, no matter who bumps into someone, they will always say sorry."
"Why?! Is this polite?!"
"Who knew, their character is like this, the so-called gentlemanly demeanor!"
Xi Haitang frowned, not sure why
"Sister, let's go to exhibition area A at the front...there are the things you are most interested in!"
"Oh?!" Xi Haitang was even more confused. Both his father and Feiyang were a little strange and mysterious today. What on earth was on display?!
The group of people walked to exhibition area A. Before Xi Haitang could say anything, Xiaochen and Yunhen screamed in surprise, "It's tourmaline!"
Looking in the direction of the children's fingers, Xi Haitang saw a cultural relic from the mid-Qing Dynasty in the central display cabinet - Qing Tourmaline Peach Tree Bonsai
Because she had designed tourmaline jewelry before, she had checked a lot of information and was not unfamiliar with this cultural relic. However, it had always been collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing. She did not expect that there would be an opportunity to be exhibited in T City. It was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No wonder Dad
Will insist on coming
Moving closer, Xi Haitang began to appreciate it carefully. He painted an enamel rhombus-style basin. The outer wall of the basin was covered with dark and light blue glazes. The main scene was a peach tree planted in the basin with painted peony patterns, with wooden branches, jasper leaves, and peach fruits.
Made of red and pink gemstones such as hibiscus, tourmaline, and beeswax, the tree is lined with lake stones, camellias, and brocade flowers, which are scattered throughout the week, creating a vivid mood.
Xiaochen and Yunhen were also a little intoxicated. Because of their influence, the two children also knew a lot about tourmalines. It was inevitable to feel emotional when they saw such exquisite tourmalines.
"The Chinese are so great, they can actually make tourmalines so beautiful!"
"Ha..." A sneer sounded unexpectedly. Xiaochen and Yunhen heard the sound and went away, only to see a British boy who was not much older than them with a look of disdain on his face.
Yunhen was relatively calm, and he didn't bother to care about people who didn't know how to appreciate them. But Xiaochen raised her eyebrows and refused to let it go. She rushed forward and asked, "Why are you laughing?!"
The British boy was also a little surprised, but he accepted Xiaochen's question defiantly, "I laugh at you for being so superficial. This kind of tourmaline is nothing special. There are many more beautiful cultural relics than this kind of tourmaline in the British Museum!"
"
Hearing this, Xiaochen was very angry, and Yunhen was also gritting his teeth secretly.
"That's what you plundered!" Everyone was filled with indignation about the period of history when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China.
The British boy didn't take it seriously. He glanced around and saw Xiaochen wearing a red rope around his neck. The pendant underneath was also carved from tourmaline and was in the shape of a small fish. It was very smart.
Xiaochen secretly clenched her fists, thinking that if he said something rude again and said that the tourmaline pendant that Mommy specially designed for her was not good, she would be really rude!
What are you talking about...
The British boy continued to rant, "There is a double pink tourmaline fish sculpture in the British Museum, which is many times better than this!"
"Shameless robber!" Xiaochen couldn't bear it anymore and punched him.
"Ah..." The British boy was caught off guard. He heard that Chinese girls are very gentle. How could this one be so rude!
Xiaochen looked at his masterpiece very proudly. The British boy looked really embarrassed with a big black circle on his left eye. It was so exciting!
"This is a lesson for you! You will return those Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum sooner or later! Also, don't think that the Chinese are easy to bully! Humph!" Xiaochen shouted loudly, shocking everyone around him.
Although Xi Haitang agreed with her daughter's words, Xiang Jianhao, who always felt bad about hitting people, was extremely satisfied with Xiaochen's performance, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.
At this moment, Xi Haitang truly understood his father's good intentions. He wanted to tell the children that even if they left their hometown, they should not forget where their roots were. She couldn't help but laugh too.
