Arriving at their destination, they drove straight to the best local hotels. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As it was booked in advance, the hotel was well prepared and they were satisfied.

The money is well spent, and the service is on point!

They set out at eight o'clock in the morning and it took more than an hour on the way to get here.

They take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch before they go out for a walk.

The small town of Port Jervis, with a population of less than 10,000, is less than 100 miles from New York City.

Due to rising rents in New York City, many artists and shopkeepers have flocked to the town, where they can rent unheard of high-quality, large-scale shops.

Now, visitors to the town can visit artist galleries, fine antique shops, and delicious American dishes: stuffed pork chops and pumpkin stew.

The art here is very strong, and people who come and go here can always find something they like.

For example, men love antiques, women love jewelry, and food lovers can eat many delicious foods such as stuffed pork chops and pumpkin stew.

One of the best features of this place is that it is quiet and not crowded.

It's very different from the hustle and bustle of New York.

When you come here, everyone's mood is quiet and empty.

Appreciating art is to appreciate it with your heart, and when you buy something, you are following your true thoughts, not the noisy atmosphere that causes tourists to make impulsive purchases.

After a delicious lunch, take a short break, put on sunscreen, put on a sun hat, and start shopping.

Qi Zhenghan pushed Grandma Qi San who was in a wheelchair, and the group talked and laughed, and when they saw what they liked, they would always stop and watch.

When passing by a jewelry store with very oriental characteristics, Grandma Qi San said: "Those foreigners' things, I can just look at them, I don't understand their meaning, if you like it, you can buy it." Now I'm going to check out my favorite shop. ”

"Okay, mother, what kind of jewelry do you like, let's buy some. Qi Shuliang said with a smile, he is now trying his best to satisfy his mother and honor his mother.

"Whether you buy it or not, you have to look at it later, and the most important thing is the good mood of visiting the shop. Grandma Qi San was excited, this shop reminded her of the jewelry shops in the county in the past.

When I entered the shop, there was no one to greet me, only pieces of jewelry locked behind glass doors.

There is only one elderly craftsman, polishing a piece of jewelry.

"Master, can you take out this step shake and show it to me?" asked Grandma Qi San, quite a little nervous.

The old man raised his head, glanced at Grandma Qi San, and asked, "From the mainland?"

"Yes!" Grandma Qi San was stunned, "Aren't you selling to people in the mainland?"

"Sell, of course sell. The old man smiled and said, changing his previous indifference, "I'll get it for you!"

The old man took out the delicate golden step shake and said, "This is my old craft, which has been passed down from my ancestors." ”

"Your ancestor is very powerful?" Grandma Qi San asked with a smile as she looked at it.

It's rare to meet someone who can speak Chinese, and she can say two words in person.

"Of course it's amazing, my ancestor is a master foundry in the palace and internal affairs office, and he made jewelry for the Empress Dowager Cixi back then. The old man said proudly, "You can take a look at it, if you like, I'll give you a cheaper." ”

Grandma Qi San took it in her hand and looked at the color and style.

"The craftsmanship is really good. Grandma Qi San praised, "Show me those two golden hairpins." ”

The old man hurriedly took the hairpin again, and Grandma Qi San put it on his head, looked in the mirror, and said, "Not bad, not bad." Don't shake this, don't shake it, give me four golden hairpins, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, lotus, and peony flowers. ”

"Okay!" the old man was very happy to see that the old lady was a knowledgeable person, like Westerners, who thought that gold jewelry was not as beautiful as those diamonds.

Grandma Qi San bought four, she bought one, and the remaining three were given to Anna, Qi Zhengmin, and He Tiantian.

She also picked a jade pendant for Qi Zhenghan and Qi Shuliang.

Because this is all newly built, the cost of materials and labor plus a little profit is not expensive.

After buying and packing, the old man hurriedly took out his business card and said: "Old sister, the youngest surname is Qi, a native of Huai City, Ontario, when I was three or more years old, I came to the United States with my master to make money, but I didn't expect that I couldn't go back as soon as I came." ”

"Oh, your ancestral home is Huai City!" Grandma Qi San was surprised, "You have never been back since you came out?"

"No, it's been forty years in the blink of an eye. Qi Laohan said with emotion, "I read it in the newspaper, now that China and the United States have established diplomatic relations, I just don't know when I can go back, I want to go to my hometown to find my family!"

"Hey, that's estimated to be soon, wait a minute, I wish you a good return home as soon as possible!" Grandma Qi San said, this old man Qi's situation is also very pitiful!

"When I heard my old sister's accent, I missed my hometown even more. Qi Laohan said, "Although I have married a wife and had children here, and integrated into the life here, when I dream back at midnight, I will still miss my hometown." I don't know what happened to my siblings. ”

Grandma Qi San knew what it was like to miss her family, and said, "What's your name? If you have a plan, I'll ask someone to help you find it." ”

Qi Laohan waited for this sentence, quickly took the pen and paper on the side, wrote his name, and said: "My name is Qi Da, my brother's name is Qi Tong, my brother is Qi Bin, and my sister's name is Qi Fei'e." My hometown lives at No. 56, Ginkgo Street, Huai City. ”

Grandma Qi San took the note and said, "Okay, I'll take it, if there is news, I will have someone send you a letter." ”

"Thank you, old lady. Qi Da said excitedly, "These few things, not as a tribute, have been given to the old sister, as a thank you for helping me find someone." ”

"Then what's the matter!" Qi San's grandmother gathered, these people, I may not necessarily help you find a fight, how can I accept such a heavy gift from you. Brother Qi, how much is it, I'll give it to you. If you don't say anything about adding money, I don't need it. ”

Helping this Qi Laohan is also for the sake of him and his relatives parting for decades, she has experienced such pain, empathizes, and doesn't want Qi Laohan's things.

"Old sister, this thing doesn't cost much・・・・・・ "Qi Laohan continued, "You can just keep it." ”

"I said no, absolutely not. Grandma Qi San said, "Let's go!"

Grandma Qi San was very tough.

"Okay, okay, can't I collect money?" Qi Laohan said with a bitter face, "Three hundred dollars for the chief engineer!"

Qi Shuliang raised his eyebrows, three hundred dollars is estimated to be just the price of buying materials, this old man does not ask for manual fees, according to normal words, it is worth at least five hundred dollars.

"Son, is it appropriate?" Grandma Qi San doesn't like to take advantage of others.

"I guess it's the cost of materials. Qi Shuliang said softly, "Just give an extra two hundred dollars for manual fees." ”

When Grandma Qi San heard this, she smiled and said, "That's okay! ”
