The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is a beautiful day for the Chinese to reunite with their families.

After waking up early in the morning and having breakfast, the family gets busy, lighting up the courtyard and preparing for the last and most important day of the year in the best possible condition.

Since the courtyard house is much larger, everyone is much busier than in previous years, but everyone in the family is happy, and the whole mansion is immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Because it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, almost all tourist attractions in Beijing had closed their doors, and the old man and his family did not go out to visit, they all stayed at home, busy with everyone, and enjoyed themselves.

Especially Matthew and Evelyn, the harmonious atmosphere in the door of this mansion, the warm and touching family affection between all the family members, they are quite hot and envious.

In fact, they have also become members of this big family, and they quickly integrate into it, enjoying this strong family affection to the fullest.

In the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

In the living room of the inner courtyard, Grandpa had just finished writing a pair of Spring Festival couplets, put the brush on the pen holder, and nodded with satisfaction.

On this pair of red paper and black characters of the Spring Festival couplet, the couplet of 'increasing the years and increasing the longevity of the people, and the spring is full of blessings', every word is strong through the back of the paper, in one go, and it looks very beautiful.

The father and second uncle who were standing next to the bookcase, looking at this pair of Spring Festival couplets with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing and quite skillful, nodded frequently, and sent a few words of praise.

Even Matthew, who didn't understand Chinese, praised a few words after Ye Tian's translation and explanation.

Although he doesn't understand Chinese, he knows what beauty is!

After the ink on the Spring Festival couplets was a little dry, Ye Tian was ready to pick up this Spring Festival couplets and go out, and paste them on the moon gate leading to the garden in the inner courtyard.

At that moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then he sued his grandfather and father, and went to the next room to answer the phone.

After about five or six minutes, he returned to the living room, to the bookcase, and said with a smile:

"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, there is something that you need to make a decision, just now the Minister of Culture called and specially invited our family to attend the Spring Festival Gala at 8 o'clock in the evening.

The Minister of Culture told me on the phone that a table had been reserved for our family, with a total of eight seats, where we could sit together, and that table was very close to the stage and had a good view.

Whether to go to the Spring Festival Gala or not, you have to make a decision, if you go, we have to prepare, some of the things arranged before, you must be in advance, if you don't go, I will call back!"

Before the words fell, the second uncle said excitedly:

"What a good thing it is to go to the CCTV studio hall to participate in the Spring Festival Gala and sit next to the stage, of course I want to go"

The little uncle gently patted Ye Tian's shoulder, smiled and said:

"Your face is really not small, Xiaotian, the Minister of Culture actually called you in person and invited you to participate in the Spring Festival Gala"

"This is called repaying the peach, yesterday I donated 5,000 volumes to the National Library of the Dunhuang Canon that can be called a priceless treasure, this is the peach, today the Minister of Culture invited me to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, this is called the report Li!

And this is just the beginning, such things will definitely happen in the future, after yesterday's donation ceremony and press conference, the Minister of Culture talked to me about building a private museum, and he himself was very supportive"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression somewhat smug.

Unlike the second uncle and the younger uncle, the grandfather and father were not in a hurry to express their position, but fell silent.

Matthew, who was standing on the side, was a little dazed and didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian hurriedly explained, and a look of surprise immediately flashed on Matthew's face.

Although he is an American and lives thousands of miles away in Boston, he has long heard of the Spring Festival Gala, the world's largest and most-watched large-scale gala, and is very yearning for it.

As early as Boston, every Spring Festival, they could see the grand occasion of the annual Spring Festival Gala in various news reports.

Curious, they also watched the Spring Festival Gala a few times on the Internet, and went to Chinatown to participate in the Spring Festival celebrations, and they also liked the joyful excitement very much.

After thinking for a moment, my father said:

"Your second uncle is right, Xiaotian, this is a good thing, you can participate, now after all, it is the New Year, it is also very good to go to the Spring Festival Gala to feel the atmosphere and celebrate the New Year with the people of the whole country.

Besides, since the Minister of Culture took the initiative to call and invite, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team also made corresponding arrangements, we still have to receive this favor, and we can't easily refuse"

"That's true, Xiaotian, we have to get this favor, go to this year's Spring Festival Gala, and celebrate the New Year with the people of the whole country, we can also be regarded as having your son's help"

Grandpa continued, and the final word was made to really determine this matter.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, and then continued:

"Okay, grandpa, then let's accept the invitation and go to this year's Spring Festival Gala, but there are only eight seats at that table, that is to say, our family can only go to eight people, and you have to decide who will go"

Without the slightest hesitation, Grandpa immediately gave an answer.

"The Minister of Culture invited our family to attend this year's Spring Festival Gala for the sake of your face, so you and Betty must attend, which is indispensable.

We can't snub Betty's parents, we have such an opportunity, and we can't forget them, just let them experience the taste of the Chinese New Year.

Go to the scene to watch the Spring Festival Gala, there should be no better way to experience it, in this way, there are still four seats left, who will go, let's discuss it again"

"There's no need to discuss it anymore, Dad, the remaining four seats belong to you and my mother, as well as Linlin and Chenxi, and the two girls, let's stay at home and watch TV."

Dad said with a smile and gave up all the remaining four seats.

The second uncle and the younger uncle also nodded and agreed, and there was no disagreement.

"Okay, it's a good arrangement, and each of you has taken care of your small family"

Grandpa nodded and said, this matter is settled.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said again:

"One more thing, the Minister of Culture just told me that because our table is close to the stage, we may need to participate in a show called 'I have an heirloom'.

That show is not complicated, and there will be a choreographer to tell us the relevant details at the Spring Festival Gala, but we have to bring a family heirloom to the scene, what should we bring?"

Hearing this, the father and the second uncle couldn't help but glance at each other.

"What should I bring to the Spring Festival Gala? There are so many good things at home, there is no shortage of priceless top antique artworks, but that thing can be regarded as a family heirloom!"

Thinking of this, Dad couldn't help but make a difficult decision, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

As for Grandpa, he has fallen into deep thought again.

After a while, Grandpa gave the answer.

"Just take the pair of brass shops on the gate of the old house, the pair of tiger head shops have been installed on the gate of the old house, in the late nineties, I was afraid of being stolen, so I unloaded it and received it in the cabinet.

Although the pair of shops is only a thing in the early years of the Republic of China, it is not worth a few dollars, and it is not even an antique cultural relic, but it has accompanied the birth and growth of several generations of our family, which has special significance and can be regarded as an heirloom!"

Hearing Grandpa's words, Dad and Second Uncle couldn't help laughing and nodded slightly.

"Okay, grandpa, just take that pair of brass shoppers, they are indeed a very good pair of heirlooms, and when my private museum is built, I will display them in the Chinese Pavilion.

The matter of participating in the Spring Festival Gala has been decided, and I will call the relevant people to inform the relevant people, and there are other things that have to be rescheduled, such as the delivery time of the Beijing Hotel, etc."

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and went to the next room to make a call.

The second uncle and the younger uncle also took out their mobile phones respectively and called Linlin and Chenxi to inform the two girls that they were going to the Spring Festival Gala at night, so that they could prepare early.

Immediately afterward, two ecstatic cheers came from the side of the courtyard, resounding throughout the entire mansion gate and even the entire Lishi Hutong.

"Great! I'm going to the Spring Festival Gala, long live my brother!"

"Ahh

No need to ask, of course this cheer came from the two girls Linlin and Chenxi.

Before their cheers had fallen, there was another frustrated wail from outside, from the little guy in Toko.

"I don't have my share, why is it always me who is unlucky? This is not fair! Or is it not a family? I am also going to the Spring Festival Gala!"
