Chapter 533: New Year's Eve

…… On the third day, the calligraphy and painting works in the calligraphy and painting exhibition reached the final bidding moment, and Liu Dong, who had already been prepared, asked Chang Fangtao to help him bid, and finally won nearly 200 works with a huge amount of 30 million yuan!

Compared with putting money in the bank, it is obvious that investing in art is the best choice, compared to financial and industrial investment that he is not good at, Liu Dong is an expert in art!

Moreover, he knows very well that if the Agarwood Pavilion, as well as the future gallery, and even the auction house that has been set up by Feng Jianhui, want to have a long-term development, the investment and collection of calligraphy and painting in the early stage must be indispensable, maybe as long as it is twenty or thirty years, the value of this batch of calligraphy and painting in Liu Dong's hands will increase by three or four times or even more!

You must know that half of the current collection market is calligraphy and painting, and the preservation of calligraphy and painting is far less durable than porcelain, bronze and jade, so the value increases quickly. And the audience of calligraphy and painting is obviously much larger than other collections! Just like ordinary people may not understand why a bull's eye-sized 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup' is worth tens of millions, but the quality of a painting is that even an ordinary person can appreciate it!

After finishing the exhibition, Liu Dong basically spent the next year reunion with his old classmates, visiting the antique market, or taking Wang Qiang to visit the mountains and rivers of Qingzhou!

It wasn't until there were two days before the Spring Festival that Liu Dong took Lin Ling and Wen Hui back to his home! Of course, Wen Hui purely belonged to soy sauce, because if Lin Ling was brought back, it would be too abrupt!

After dinner in the evening, Song Xiangmei called her son to the study.

"Liu Dong. Tell me what's going on with that Lin Ling?"

looked at the stern expression on her mother's face. Liu Dong said in his heart: "Mom." Didn't I tell you? She is my assistant, and she will work with Manager Wen to deal with my investment in tourism development in Qingzhou! Because she is from Taiwan and Bay, and the company is busy, she has no time to go home, so I called her to our house to come to our house for the New Year, and that's it!"

"Okay, don't fool me, your mother and I will give birth to you in October. Besides, Mom is a woman, and Mom doesn't know what kind of eyes this woman looks at the man she likes?...... You say, did you have anything to do with her?"

"What?" Liu Dong said in amazement.

"Just do something sorry for Wang Qiang!" Song Xiangmei hurriedly said.

"Mom, of course not!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong couldn't help but think of Yan Qingqing!

"There is no best...... Xiaodong, Wang Qiang is a rare good daughter-in-law, not to mention that she is beautiful. Good temper, gentle and virtuous. You are still a graduate of a prestigious university, you are knowledgeable and educated, you are blessed to find such a good woman, you can't be sorry for others!"

"Mom, I know, don't worry!" Liu Dong hurriedly agreed.

Looking at the softened expression on his mother's face, Liu Dong hesitated for a while, and then said cautiously: "Mom, then if I find you a few more daughters-in-law, are you willing to ......!"

"Oh, Mom, don't fight!" Liu Dong covered his head and said expectantly.

After withdrawing her hand hatefully, Song Xiangmei said with an unkind expression: "Liu Dong, I will send you, I will recognize Wang Qiang as a daughter-in-law, if you make her angry and leave, be careful that I am not finished with you!"

"Mom, are you my mother?" Liu Dong said with a wry smile.

"It's your mother, but Wang Qiang is married to you, and she is half of my daughter......!"

Looking at his mother's angry appearance, Liu Dong sighed and said in his heart: "It seems that there is a long way to go to do the work of my mother in the future!"

After having lunch at Liu Dong's house and chatting with Liu Jianqing for a while, Wen Hui got up to say goodbye, and he had to take a car to catch a plane home!

Originally, Lin Ling was going to leave, but she was pulled by Wang Qiang to stay! The latter's action was obviously unexpected by Liu's father, Liu's mother, and sister Liu Fei!

And Liu Dong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Lin Ling really left, then he would be blind!

However, leaving Lin Ling, Liu Dong was immediately kicked out of the wing room, Wang Qiang and Lin Ling slept together, and he could only sleep on the sofa in the living room!

In a blink of an eye, the time was the twenty-ninth of the year, and the family got up early in the morning, and Lin Ling went to catch the last one, which was also the most lively New Year's fair of the year. As for the Spring Festival couplets, Liu Dong and his father can both write, and even his sister Liu Fei's calligraphy level is N grades stronger than those prints!

However, because there is no ancestral grave in Liu Dong's family in Beixingluo Village, there is no need to go to the grave on twenty-nine like other people's families, so at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the family plus Lin Ling began to talk and laugh and wrap dumplings, and after getting along for a few days, the well-behaved and sensible Lin Ling undoubtedly let the Liu family accept her deposit.

Under the correction of his sister, Liu Dong pasted all the prepared Spring Festival couplets and money at the door, and after putting on the new clothes in the whole courtyard, he turned on the TV early!

The 2001 Spring Festival Gala, under the singing of the theme song of the Olympic bid "Let's Come Together", hosted by Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun, Cao Ying and Zhang Zheng, officially began!

Like the previous Spring Festival Gala, sketches and cross talk are still Liu Dong's favorites, but compared to the previous time when he could only go to other people's homes to watch the Spring Festival Gala, today's Liu family's laughter is extraordinarily large.

Especially "Selling Abduction", which established Zhao Benshan's "big flicker" name and made him on the throne of "sketch king", makes people laugh!

But just when the family was enjoying the joy, Liu Jianqing suddenly stood up, and said with a hint of loss in his eyes: "Look at it first, I'll go to the rest meeting!"

However, he did not go back to the bedroom, but went directly into the study.

"What's wrong with uncle?" Wang Qiang whispered in Liu Dong's ear. And Lin Ling's eyes were equally curious.

"It's okay!" Liu Dong shook his head, Liu Dong has long been accustomed to his father's strange behavior during the New Year, almost every time the lights of the thirty thousand homes are lit in the Chinese New Year's Eve, his father will always choose to be alone for a while!

Liu Dong knew that his father was hiding something in his heart, but he didn't say it, and Liu Dong, who had been taught a lesson, didn't ask much.

And at this time, Song Xiangmei also stood up and walked into the study!

"Brother!"

Looking at Liu Fei's worried look, Liu Dong shook his head, "Don't ask anything, if your parents let us know, they will tell us one day, if you don't want us to know, it's useless to ask now!"

"Let's watch TV!"

Hearing Liu Dong's words, Liu Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, in her memory, her brother was taught a lesson by his father because of this incident.

Next, it wasn't until the end of the Spring Festival Gala at more than eleven o'clock that his father came out, and Liu Dong could see a trace of nostalgia and sadness from the corners of his father's eyes and eyebrows!

Because at twelve o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve in his hometown, he had to worship the god Vesta, Bodhisattva and other gods, so Song Xiangmei prepared paper yuanbao, paper money and incense, as well as wrapped vegetarian dumplings early, and after praying for the safety of the whole family one by one, let Liu Dong light the cannon battle, and this time was exactly twelve o'clock at midnight, which was also the lunar calendar 2001! New year, new beginning!

With the sound of festive firecrackers, at the strict request of my mother, after eating vegetarian dumplings filled with cabbage and tofu that represent New Year's blessings and good luck, it was time to rest!

The Liu family, which had been noisy for most of the night, also became quiet!

In Liu Dong's hometown, the first year of junior high school is the time to kowtow to grandparents and other old people, but because Liu Dong basically has no grandparents except for his master, and Liu Dong's parents have no uncles and elders here, so when they visit each other's houses on the first day of junior high school, Liu Dong's house is very quiet, and Liu Dong and Liu Fei have been accustomed to this kind of quietness for many years!

Except for Liu Dong who went to kowtow to the master in the morning, the day basically passed like this!

From the second day of junior high school to the seventh day of junior high school, it is the most intensive period of time for relatives to go in the New Year, but also Liu Dong's family has no relatives here, only Liu Dong himself went to visit a few senior brothers!

This kind of coldness surprised Wang Qiang and Lin Ling, but they were well-behaved and smart, and they didn't ask much.

In the eighth year of junior high school, Liu Dong participated in this year's class reunion, but unfortunately there were only more than 40 students who participated.

And Liu Dong felt a little regretful that he didn't see Mei Xue at this class reunion, and after some inquiry, he learned that Mei Xue was sent by her parents to study in the UK after New Year's Day, and she didn't go home at all this year!

After participating in the class reunion, taking advantage of the fact that junior high school and high school have not started, Liu Dong asked for a car from the company, and then took the family to Quancheng, he wanted his parents to see the villa he bought, and he would come here to live during the winter and summer vacations, get used to it first, and when they really retired, they would move here directly!

In addition, the development of the Yanghe Scenic Area and the construction of the Rose Town, there will be a large number of beautiful holiday villas to be built, so Liu Dong plans to build a big manor for himself in his hometown, and when the time comes, Quancheng and his hometown will live back and forth, anyway, it is not far away, and even Liu Dong still wants to buy a helicopter if he has the conditions, so that the round trip is faster! Of course, these are just his ideas.

For Liu Dong's villa of seven or eight hundred square meters, except for his sister Liu Fei who was surprised and overjoyed, Liu Jianqing and Song Xiangmei just had an appreciative attitude and were not too surprised! However, after Liu Dong took them to the No. 1 villa of Wohu Mountain, which covers an area of 24 acres, the next day, the two of them were surprised!
