"You won't... What are you hiding from me?" Director Hou looked at Lin Hainan with an uneasy face, if he wanted to check the items of the representative of the Forbidden City, why didn't he look for him, the general manager, but Lin Hainan, and he heard that Lin Hainan had come into contact with this peony carved bowl, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. Before Lin Hainan could answer, a group of black-clothed people wearing sunglasses leaned out from behind Lin Hainan, and said while showing the documents in their hands to Director Hou:

"Are you the person in charge of the Palace Museum of China? On behalf of the British Museum, we are investigating this peony carved bowl case, and now we need to check everyone's luggage and belongings, and we hope that you can cooperate. ”

"We will definitely cooperate, please feel free!" Director Hou said to the visitor.

"Thank you for your cooperation!" After the leader finished speaking, he motioned for his subordinates to enter the house to check.

Lin Hainan watched a group of people rummaging around in the room, although he was a little uncomfortable, but he wouldn't find out anything anyway, so he didn't care so much.

"Mr. Hou, we have already checked, and we still need to wait for the results from the quality inspection bureau, so you still need to wait here for a few days, and we are very sorry if there are any conflicts with your itinerary. After the man in black took some small items, he said to Director Hou.

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we're not in a hurry, you guys check slowly. Director Hou replied politely.

Five days passed quickly, and someone would come over every day for a routine inspection, but Lin Hainan was never looked for alone. This also made Director Hou and Lin Hainan breathe a sigh of relief.

At noon on the fifth day, all delegates were notified to go to the exhibition hall together.

"I asked you to come here today to tell you that you can leave tomorrow. The results of the quality inspection bureau came out and determined that the bowl was still the original and had not been dropped, as for why it did not change color, we will study it later. On behalf of the British authorities, I apologize to all of you for the troubles caused by the investigation in the past few days. We will compensate you for all losses incurred in your trip. Last but not least, thank you all for coming to our museum. ”

Everyone has their own opinions on this very official explanation, but no one has said anything.

Lin Hainan felt a little lucky and packed up with everyone and returned to Beijing.

"Hainan, can you go home?" Lin Hainan received a call from his mother as soon as he got off the plane

"Mom, what's wrong, I just arrived in Beijing. ”

"Hainan, you come back first, my mother has something to tell you. ”

"Got it, Mom, I'll be right back. After Lin Hainan hung up the phone, he said hello to Director Hou and took a taxi directly to his home, and his mother's tone on the phone was a little anxious, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Mom, I'm back!" Lin Hainan greeted as he strode into the courtyard. Lin Hainan's family lives in an old-fashioned courtyard house, and now there are not many courtyard houses in Beijing, but his mother has been reluctant to move to a community house with more convenient transportation.

"Hainan is back!" Lin Hainan's mother heard his voice and hurriedly walked out of the house, although she was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand. Although Mother Lin is only in her forties, her perennial hard work has left too many traces of time on her face, and she looks particularly haggard.

"Mom, I'm in such a hurry to come back, won't it be just for this delicious meal?" Lin Hainan said and took the spatula from Lin's mother's hand.

"You! Lin Mu said and tapped Lin Hainan's nose with her hand.

"Xiao Linzi is back?" A boy walked out of the room, more than one meter and eight meters tall, well-proportioned and strong, with a tall nose bridge, cold eyes, sword eyebrows, and a cold and stiff aura on his body, after seeing Lin Hainan, his face suddenly added a little smile.

"Jian Fei, you are willing to come back, tell me how many years you have been in the army? There has been no news" Lin Hainan was first shocked, then surprised, and suddenly ran over and hugged the person opposite. This Feng Jianfei is Lin Hainan's hair, and the relationship between the two has been very good since childhood, when Lin Hainan was bullied because of his small stature, Jianfei helped him fight.

"Brother Lin, you and Brother Feng still have such a good relationship! I have been standing next to you for so long and you haven't seen it, so sad!" A gentle female voice sounded behind her, Lin Hainan turned around, and felt a burst of surprise in her heart.

"Jingjing, when are you coming back?" This girl's name is Xu Jing, about one meter six tall, wearing a floral dress, Qi bangs, all the hair behind her head tied with a ball head, big eyes, long eyelashes, fair skin looks very playful and cute, like a beautiful scenery in this gray old city.

"I just came back. Xu Jing replied with a smile.

"You've been talking for a long time, come in and sit down!" Lin Mu said to the three of them.

"Yes, sit down in the first room and say! After the two of you went to college, one went to the barracks, and the other went to Singapore to leave me alone in Beijing, I haven't seen me for so many years, and I still have a lot to ask the two of you!" Lin Hainan, Feng Jianfei, and Xu Jing grew up together from below, and their relationship is very good, but after graduating from college, they both went to different places, and he didn't expect to be able to get together again today.

"You two talk first, I'll help Aunt Lin cook"

In a few moments, a rich meal was ready.

"Aunt Lin, the dishes you make are still delicious. Feng Jianfei had a mouthful of pot-wrapped meat in his mouth, his hands were still rolling shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and he had to take the time to speak, which was really embarrassing for him

"Eat more if it's delicious. Mother Lin smiled as she put vegetables into their bowls

"Thank you, Aunt Lin!"

"Say thank you, I watched all three of you grow up, I remember that we used to eat together when I was a child, and now you are all grown up, you were so tall at that time, and now you are all grown up. Mother Lin said, and couldn't help but think of the past, and her heart was filled with a faint sadness.

"Even when we grow up, we will often come to Aunt Lin's house to eat, and Aunt Lin's cooking is the best," Feng Jianfei said while taking a big bite.

"That's right, even if Uncle Lin is gone..."Before Xu Jing finished speaking, she felt that she had said the wrong topic, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became solemn.

"You guys eat first, I'll go see if there's still soup in the pot." Lin Mu stood up and walked into the kitchen, and Lin Hainan also chased out.

"Brother Feng..."Xu Jing looked at Feng Jianfei blankly, and Feng Jianfei wordlessly pulled her out with him.

"Mom... Don't be too sad, take care of yourself... Dad doesn't want you to do that..."

"Aunt Lin, don't be too sad" Xu Jing and Feng Jianfei followed behind, looking at Mother Lin uneasily.

"I'm fine, you guys go eat quickly! The food is almost cold..."Lin Mu wiped her eyes and said to the three of them.
