Chapter 73 The Treasure Appraisal Conference Ends
Chapter 73 The Treasure Appraisal Conference Ends
At this time, a gold double phoenix hairpin from the Yuan Dynasty appeared at the auction, and Lin Xi saw that Lin's mother was very interested.
"Mom, do you like this phoenix hairpin?"
"Quite good looking."
"Then I'll buy it for you."
"Why buy that!"
"Don't you like it?"
"This was worn by a dead man. I can't wear it on my head even if I buy it. Why waste that money?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment by what Mother Lin said. She really didn't expect that Mother Lin would say that. Lin Tian saw the embarrassment on his sister's face and secretly laughed from the side. Lin Xi glared at him, and Lin Tian calmed down a little.
The auction lasted for three hours before it ended. Mother Lin was very excited at first, but then became a little numb. Elder Yun and Elder Liu kept discussing the auction items.
After the auction, the treasure appraisal conference officially came to an end. Mr. Yun, Mr. Liu and some other prestigious people all went up to give speeches.
After the conference, the organizer organized the staff and treasure appraisers to have dinner together. Lin Xi, Mother Lin and Lin Tian did not go, but Mr. Yun and Mr. Liu went.
Finally, the three Lin family members and Li Xiao went to dinner, saying they wanted to talk about meeting Uncle Han.
......
Li Xiao: "Auntie, what do you like to eat?"
Mother Lin: "I can do it."
Li Xiao: "Then I'll keep an eye on it."
When the food was ordered, Lin Xi saw that Mother Lin was a little nervous. She held her hand secretly under the table. Mother Lin looked at Lin Xi and nodded.
Lin Xi: "We will meet tomorrow. Do they have time?"
Li Xiao: "No problem. Uncle Han and the others can't wait these days. They ask me every day when will you be free."
Lin Xi: "Then please help us make an appointment with them at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Li Xiao: "No problem."
Mother Lin: "Xiao Li, can you tell me about them?"
Li Xiao: "Yes, Auntie, but I don't know much. I'll tell you what I know."
The three Lin family members all looked at Li Xiao seriously.
Li Xiao: "Uncle Han's name is Han Chengde, and Aunt Mei's name is Mei Yulan. Their families are all from the capital. Uncle Han's ancestor was the imperial chef. In Uncle Han's generation, Uncle Han is the only one left. I heard from my grandfather, Uncle Han When he was young, he opened a big hotel in Beijing. The business was very good and it could be regarded as the number one hotel. At that time, Uncle Han had a very good personality and smiled at everyone he met. Until, later, their Her daughter was lost, and Aunt Mei suffered a serious illness in her life. Later, her body collapsed because of missing her daughter, and Uncle Han also fell into depression for a long time. Uncle Han had to take care of Aunt Mei, take care of the restaurant, and find her daughter, which was a heavy burden. He became less and less talkative. Uncle Han's restaurant had stopped opening when I was five years old. Aunt Mei's health was getting worse and worse. In order to be able to take care of her at any time, Uncle Han opened a restaurant. They bought a private restaurant. Over the years, whenever they heard news about their daughter, they would go there in person, but they always left disappointed. In recent years, as the two elders have grown older, they have not gone to see their daughter, but they have always asked her to go there. People are looking.”
Hearing this and thinking of the scene when she first met Uncle Han, Lin Xi felt a little sorry for the old man who was trying to straighten his back. He was definitely a man of uprightness, and it was really not easy for the two elders to support him until now.
Mother Lin also shed tears. She is also a parent. She can understand the anxiety and worry of her own child being lost. Now she can't wait to see the two elders.
Lin Xi saw Mother Lin crying, hugged Mother Lin's shoulders, and wiped Mother Lin's tears with a tissue. Lin Tian also held Mother Lin's hand with one hand.
Mother Lin: "Sorry, Xiao Li, I made you laugh."
Li Xiao: "Auntie, this is human nature."
Just as the food arrived, they chatted while eating, and finally agreed that Li Xiao would pick them up at nine o'clock tomorrow, and then go to Uncle Han's house together.
After dinner, Li Xiao sent the three Lin family members home, and then went to Uncle Han's place.
"Dong dong dong."
Han Chengde: "Who is it so late?"
Li Xiao: "Uncle Han, it's me."
Han Chengde opened the door and saw Li Xiao. He was a little excited and quickly invited Li Xiao into the room.
Han Chengde: "Yulan, Xiaoxiao is here."
Aunt Mei walked out of the room. Although she didn't walk fast, she could tell that she was in a hurry. Han Chengde stepped forward and helped Mei Yulan sit on the chair, and then sat next to her.
The two people looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
Li Xiao: "They want to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
The two old men were very excited, and Mei Yulan quickly said: "Okay, no problem."
Han Chengde: "Do we need to prepare anything? I can prepare whatever dishes they like."
Mei Yulan: "Yes, yes, you have to prepare."
Li Xiao was touched when he saw the excitement of the two old men: "I believe they will like what you have prepared."
The two elders were as happy as children, and suddenly Mei Yulan couldn't help crying again: "After all these years, finally..."
Han Chengde hugged Mei Yulan: "This is something you should be happy about."
Han Chengde comforted Mei Yulan for a while, while Li Xiao remained silent.
After Mei Yulan's mood stabilized, Han Chengde said, "Xiao Xiao, I really want to thank you this time."
Li Xiao: "Actually, it all depends on Xixi recognizing that Aunt Mei looks a lot like her mother."
Han Chengde couldn't help but smile as he thought of the little girl that day. Over the years, he knew that because of his daughter's incident, he had become gloomy. Many people were a little scared when they saw him, but the little girl actually smiled at him. Sure enough, this was the power of blood.
Li Xiao saw that it was getting late, "Uncle Han, it's getting late. I'll go back as soon as the news comes to me. You guys should go to bed early. I'll bring them here tomorrow."
Han Chengde: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
......
Lin Xi and the other three returned home. Lin Xi and Lin Tian chatted with Mother Lin for a while, and then went back to their rooms.
Lin Xi returned to her room and took a shower. Instead of going to bed, she went directly to Lin's mother's room.
Lin Xi knocked on the door, "Mom, are you asleep?"
"not yet."
Mother Lin opened the door and saw Lin Xi wearing pajamas.
"Mom, I want to sleep next to you tonight."
How could Mother Lin not understand that Lin Xi was worried about herself.
"Okay, but mom is already this age and has experienced so much, so she is not that fragile."
Lin Xi took Mother Lin's arm and said, "Hey, it's been a long time since I slept next to you."
Mother and daughter were lying on the bed, and Lin Xi felt that her mother was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
"Mom, what do you imagine your grandparents to be like?"
Mother Lin was silent for a moment, "I also hoped that they would come back to find me before. I thought they were so cruel that they could throw away their own daughter, but I still kept making excuses for them in my heart. Maybe it was because the family was too busy. I’m too poor to support myself.”
"what about now?"
"Now I know it's different from what I thought before. They didn't mean it, and they have been looking for me. With you and Xiaotian, I can feel their mood firsthand."
Mother Lin stopped and waited for a while before saying, "Xixi, my mother will have a mother in the future."
Lin Xi hugged Mother Lin and said, "Well, our family will get better and better in the future."
"Xixi, you said you would take your grandparents to Mo City, would they be willing?"
"We'll ask when the time comes. If you really don't want to, you can stay with them in the capital. I will come over to see you often."
"Well, even if you are alone in Mo City, Mom won't be very relieved."
"I'm so old, nothing will happen. Go to sleep, Mom, I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Ah."
