Chapter 410 Birthday gift for Madam Han (second update)

A quarter past seven in the evening.

The sky darkened, dusk approached, and the charming night gradually covered the top of the head.

Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Villa Number One, a smell of vegetable aroma wafted out from the crack in the kitchen door, and it was very fragrant. In the living room, Xie Huilan was holding a blood pressure monitor to measure the blood pressure of Han Jing, who had just been discharged from the hospital in the morning. Xie Jing, Xie Ran Xie Hao and other juniors were watching helplessly. After a while, there was a few beeps, and the blood pressure results came out, "Pulse 76, blood pressure 70-110, normal."

Xie Jing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.  The Power of Time and Wealth 410

Han Jing smiled softly and said, "I just said it's okay, don't worry."

Xie Huilan squinted his eyes and slowly untied the measuring belt on his mother's arm, "It's time to eat. You should drink the medicine first. Xiao Hao, go get a glass of water."

"Hey!" Xie Hao immediately became confused.

Han Jing patted the back of Xie Huilan's hand, "I know how to call your brother, why don't you go? By the way, where is Xiao Bin? Are you coming today?"

Xie Huilan smiled, "I called him and told him, he said to come over, but I called a few more just now. Maybe the phone is out of battery, not turned on, and I don't know what I was busy talking about. I'll try calling again." After that, he touched it. The phone dialed the number. After a few seconds, Xie Huilan put the phone down and narrowed his eyes even smaller. "It's better to turn off the phone. My mother dared to be late for her birthday and asked the whole family to wait for him. This Xiao Bin!"

Han Jing "touched" "touched" her hand, "There must be something going on with him."

Xie Huilan helped his mother stand up, "You can serve it. He won't wait for us anymore. Let's eat."

Xie Ran on the side looked at his watch and frowned. Madam Han was hospitalized last night, and Xie Huilan was with him in bed, but Dong Xuebin, the quasi-Grandson-in-law who was recognized by Old Master, is missing. He left the hospital without even saying hello. He couldn't see anyone during the day. Who would have thought that he wouldn't come at night? Today is my aunt's birthday, why don't you turn on your phone at such an important time? Is this spectrum a bit too big?

Over there, the boss Xie Guobang, Second Brother Xie Guoliang and the third child Xie Guojian also came down from upstairs.

Xie Guobang looked below, "Little Dong hasn't come yet?"

"He's in a bit of a hurry." Xie Huilan said to Dong Xuebin, "He's almost there."

Xie Guojian is Lieutenant General. He is relatively straightforward. He frowned and said, "What time is it? What can be more important than your mother's birthday?"

Xie Ran deeply agrees.

Xie Huilan smiled and looked over, "Second Uncle, there is something wrong with what you said. The local government is different from the military system. Now is a peaceful era, and there are not many things going on there. I know that, but is it different in the local area? The interests of the people and the country should be put first in everything. If there was an earthquake over there, Xiao Bin and I would come over to wish my mother a birthday. Not to mention that the people would not agree, my mother would probably have to slap me, don't you think?" These words are full of fire.

Xie Ran originally wanted to "interject". He also felt that Dong Xuebin was a bit rude this time, but when he saw the eldest sister's expression, he remained silent. He didn't want to scold her. Everyone in the family knew about her eldest sister's temper. Xie Ran learned about it when he was a child, so he has always been a little afraid of his eldest sister.

Han Jing stared at his daughter, "Hui Lan! Why are I talking to you Second Uncle!"

Xie Guojian was so angry, "You girl, you are so defensive. He Little Dong came late and I can't even say a word? Huh?"

Xie Guojian's wife Ci Lifen quickly pulled him in and said, "You should stop saying a few words."

Xie Hao slapped his forehead and made a pause gesture, "Dad, sister, why are you two choking? Let's eat, let's eat, it's such a happy event..." The Power of Time and Wealth 410

Xie Guoliang smiled bitterly, "Third brother, that's enough, let's eat."

It can be seen that everyone is not in a good mood because of the loss of Tianlong Mountain Grottoes Sandstone Bodhisattva Statue.

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, the phone at home suddenly rang.

Han Jing stood up immediately, "... I'll pick it up."

Everyone knew that Han Jing was waiting for this call, so Xie Huilan helped her over and said, "... Hello."

"Sister-in-law, I'm Xie Guoyue. I heard how... are you feeling well?"

Han Jing's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, and he forced a smile and said, "Guoyue, haha, sister-in-law is fine... um, um... thank you... um, you should pay more attention to your health..."

Han Jing has actually been waiting for a call from Old Master Xie. Every year on her birthday, Old Master will make a call. This happens every year without exception, but This year... but not. Han Jing had a sore nose. She endured it. She hung up the phone and sat back on the dining table. She took a breath, forced a smile, and greeted the juniors to come to the table and thanked them for coming to wish her a birthday.

Everyone saw it and felt sad in their hearts.

It should have been a very happy day, but now...

For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat silent.

Ding dong, ding dong, the doorbell rang. Xie Hao immediately jumped up from the chair, walked out, looked at the monitor, and opened the door, "Brother-in-law, are you here?"

Dong Xuebin was a little out of breath, "Are you late?"

Xie Hao whispered, "Be careful, my eldest sister just had a fight with my dad because of you." He said simply.

After listening, Dong Xuebin felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect Hui Lan to be so tight on him, "Well, blame me, look at what happened, Hui Lan is too, how can you contradict your elders?" Zuiya quickly changed his shoes at the door, stepped on his cotton slippers, and walked in panting. Dong Xuebin was exhausted this day. His body and mind were tense for a long time. He jogged for a while when he came here, and he was sweating now.

As soon as he entered the living room, everyone looked at him.

Dong Xuebin held a bag and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I went to prepare a gift for my aunt, but my phone ran out of battery again. I'll punish myself with one drink. I'll punish myself with one drink." "I poured a glass of wine by myself, Dong Xuebin drank it in one gulp without leaving a drop.

Han Jing smiled and said, "Just come, there won't be many customers, please sit down quickly."

After sitting down, Dong Xuebin blinked, sweating, what kind of atmosphere is this?

Xie Jing felt that it was all his responsibility for what was supposed to be a happy birthday party to turn out like this. If he had not lost Bodhisattva Statue, he would not have... Thinking of this, Xie Jing's heart hurt. He reached out and took out the porcelain from the folk kiln. He changed the subject and said, "Auntie, I wish you a long life. I don't know if you like this porcelain." "As he said that, he handed the things over.

Han Jing took it for a look, couldn't put it down and said, "Okay, thank you Xiao Jing, haha."

Xie Hao, Xie Ran and others also took out gifts one after another, and Han Jing thanked them one by one, "It's so beautiful, thank you."  The Power of Time and Wealth 410

It was supposed to be Xie Huilan's turn to send something, but she didn't plan to come over to celebrate her birthday this time. She had other matters in the county, so she hurried over because Han Jing suddenly fell ill and stayed with the hospital., of course, there was no time to go shopping, so Xie Huilan tilted his head with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Dong Xuebin's face. He spread his empty hands and immediately put his chin in, meaning it's your turn.

Dong Xuebin understood, cleared his throat, and slowly opened the bag, "Auntie, this is a little thought from Hui Lan and I..."

The bag buckle was undone. Xie Hao, Xie Ran and others all looked over, wanting to see what the gift that Dong Xuebin had prepared for the whole day was.

One second...

Two seconds...

The things inside finally revealed their true appearance.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Bodhisattva Statue.

Xie Huilan said, "Bodhisattva Statue? Where did you get it?"

Dong Xuebin xin said where else could I get it? Then he handed the thing to Han Jing, who was a little dazed, and said, "Auntie, I wish you good health and happiness every day."

Han Jing took it over and touched it nostalgically, "Xiao Bin, thank you, you are considerate."

Eh? What is this reaction? Dong Xuebin couldn't laugh or cry, I thought it was wrong, why aren't you excited.

Xie Huilan looked at him with a smile, "You are quite capable. There is only one Tianlong Mountain Grottoes Sandstone Bodhisattva Statue that has been unearthed, and it has always been in the hands of Old Master and my mother. Even imitations are difficult to find in the market. It took you a day to find one? Haha, it looks like the real thing. Well, Shen Yun also has it, and the materials seem to be quite open? Not bad, is it a high imitation? This kind of quality would cost at least hundreds of thousands to buy, right?"

Xie Hao also nodded heavily, "It's just like the real thing."

Dong Xuebin I almost fell off the chair, I went away, my brother worked so hard to steal it, how can it still be called the real thing? This is fucking true! But Dong Xuebin also knows their mentality, just like "Along the River During Qingming Festival", which is now in Palace Museum, so if someone on the market really comes up with an identical "Along the River During Qingming Festival" for you, you will know it is a fake without even thinking about it, the same reason.

Han Jing knew that Dong Xuebin was obsessed with it, but high imitations are high imitations after all, and no matter how similar they are, they can't be genuine. Besides, looking at things and thinking about them, Han Jing's depressed mood was aroused again, and his heart ached. He quickly put the things away and stopped looking at them. She knew that the real Bodhisattva Statue would never come back. What she had to do now was to adjust her mentality as soon as possible and stop thinking about it.

Dong Xuebin said hurriedly, "Aunt, this Bodhisattva Statue..."

Han Jing forced a smile and said, "I like it very much, and I will support it from now on, haha."

"No, I mean this thing..."

Ci Lifen interrupted, "Haha, let's eat while it's hot."

Xie Ran also frowned and looked at Dong Xuebin, thinking to himself, didn't you see the aunt's expression? Why did you mention Bodhisattva Statue Bodhisattva Statue?

Xie Huilan touched him with his hand under the table and stopped him from talking.

The atmosphere on the table became a little gloomy again.

After being interrupted several times, Dong Xuebin became depressed. I'll go, man, I still can't say this.

Suddenly, a piece of news rang out from the plasma TV behind him. Xie Hao had good ears. After listening to it, he was stunned and quickly turned up the volume of the TV with a light buzz.

I saw a line of words written at the bottom of the screen - A major theft occurred at Tokyo National Museum! ro! ~!
