The silent auction is always going on, and many parents and children are sitting in their seats, eating a little bit, and the next is the bidding auction.

At the time of eating, Dinah had already returned to the table, and followed the three of Ju An to eat a little steak and salad and wait for the bidding auction to begin.

At this time, a young male teacher walked to the open space next to the table, picked up the microphone and said to the parents around the table: "Parents, welcome to our school's annual auction dinner, although the economy in the United States is not very good this year, but it has nothing to do with our Flos County, you know?" Everybody! This year, our White Spoon Town has calculated that our overall income of White Spoon has increased by six percent, what does this prove? I always thought he was a good president, but unfortunately I was wrong! Actually, our Mr. Mayor of White Spoon can go to the White House! ”。

followed by a burst of laughter below, and the applause immediately rang out, anyway, as long as there are many people, there are always a few major dignitaries in the United States who are lying down and have been shot, Ju An has also been used to it over the years, and politicians' jokes are casual, and if you don't join, you will accuse you of something, because they are public objects.

And in recent years, the average life of the town has indeed improved a lot, mainly thanks to the development of tourism, the entrance of the county is only more than 12,000 points, and the tourists from the country are many times more than this number every year. And most of them turned out to be ranchers, ranchers, and the like and so on, and there is no such thing as unemployment, and these unemployment is not called unemployment, it is called bankruptcy. Since then, the employment rate has been pulled by many percentage points, and the average income has of course become higher and higher, and now the roads in the town are bilingual in Chinese and English.

The host next said: "The first auction below is a dinner for a family of six provided by our white spoon chef." After speaking, the host stretched out his hand to a table, and a man stood up from his chair, smiled and nodded at everyone.

The host continued: "The starting price is two hundred dollars." As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand, and the host said with a smile: "There are bids, and there are more." After saying it again, he raised his hand, and in this way, he hosted the gags from time to time, and the last dinner was auctioned off for more than four hundred dollars.

The next few things were not very interesting, but the right to use the Parisian country holiday cottage for a week, which was auctioned off. Ju An raised his hand twice, and finally gave up, got better, and there was no loss if he didn't get it, and in the end the rest was two competitions, and the price soared to almost six hundred dollars, and the host finally said that the two families could be separated from each other, and the family ended the bidding, and finally the owner of the villa stood up and generously gave each family a week's time, and immediately won a round of warm applause.

The next project is to rely on each parent to pay for it, children's white spoon handicrafts or paintings, of course, not every child has them, what can be put up for auction are some very beautiful works, basically under the guidance of the art teacher.

Parents of course had to support their children's works when they were put up for auction, and the first children's work was hosted and the parents got six hundred dollars.

The next few children's works sold for a few hundred dollars, and the highest was more than seven hundred and sixty dollars.

When the teacher waiting for the auction lifted Nini's work, Ju An felt that no matter how much money he had, he would buy this work, the light blue sky and the green grass on the picture, a little girl sat on a stool and grinned, stretched out her hands to one side of the picture, one was a much larger two, one into the long haired hand holding a baby elephant, the other short hair hand holding a giraffe, standing on the edge of the picture seems to be running towards the little girl, the three faces are happy smiles, There are also small birds standing on the branches of the trees singing.

When I saw this painting, Ju'an's eyes were sour, the little plush seemed to be the first thing that Dinah gave to Nini, the giraffe was the first gift Ju'an gave, and when the two of them saw Nini for the first time, the girl was sitting on a small stool, but at that time she refused to say a word, and she didn't say much to anything. Now the little girl on the picture is grinning happily, although the painting is not very similar, Dinah and Ju Annini are not one of the three into the like, all of them have a big cake face, the smile occupies most of the face, the three into the eyes are almost one big and one small There is no beauty, but Ju An looks at it and thinks it is beautiful, the colors are beautiful, the picture is beautiful, and even the few crooked trees in the background of the painting feel beautiful.

Just looking at this painting, he saw that there was a pull, Ju An turned his head to see that Dina had already hugged the happy and smiling Nini into her arms, and there was clearly a trace of tears in her eyes.

Ju An looked at his wife and nodded lightly at Dinah: "Got it! ”。 Now even if Ju An is asked to exchange the beast he has stored in the auction house for this painting of Nini, Ju An does not hesitate, the meaning of that painting to Ju An is money, and the meaning of this painting to Ju An is that of a daughter, there is no comparison.

The host said, "The reserve price of this painting is 100 dollars."

Ju An raised his hand: "Eight hundred dollars!" ”。

The host said it this time, and then asked if there was a bid around, of course there was no entry, who would be okay to spend eight hundred dollars to buy a painting that didn't enter the child, isn't it painful, probably the teacher also knows what this girl painted, the host asked twice and said to Ju An: "Ann won the bid for this painting." After speaking, he gestured to the young female teacher holding the painting next to him, and the female teacher handed the painting to Ju An, and then remembered a warm applause from the surroundings.

Why is Ju An out of eight hundred and no higher, don't get into the highest seven hundred and six yourself is a few dozen dollars higher, one or two times higher is to hit the face of the other, there is no injustice and no revenge to hit the face of a thousand things, and it is not a hit, the whole is a group attack o, Ju An's IQ has not been low to this point.

Took the painting from the teacher's hand, Ju An took a closer look, the whole painting is about the size of A1, using oil paint, the whole painting is up and down, directly see the girl's brushstrokes, turned his head to look at Dinah with a trace of tears in her eyes and said jokingly: "I think our white spoon girl can grow up to be an abstract painter, Picasso second, you look at the brushstrokes, and then look at the contrast between cold and warm colors, it's amazing!" ”。

Dinah laughed when she heard this, looked at Ju An and said, "Hang up when you get home!" ”。

Ju An nodded: "Hmm! Hang it up, hang it in my study, and I'll tell Nini just now."

"Hang it in our white-spoon bedroom, I'd like to see this picture often," Dinah said to Juan with her arms around Nini.

Ju An listened to Dinah's words and smiled: "Hmm! Then hang it in our white spoon bedroom and put it together with our white spoon wedding photos."

Then Ju An didn't have much thought, just waited for the auction to end, and in the end, the teachers summed it up, and the other two of Ju An's votes failed to win the bid, only the ticket and the painting Ju An finally got it, and wrote a check at a table, and Ju An returned home with Dinah and Nini, as well as a night's loot.

As soon as she stopped the car, Nini ran down, and then ran towards the house and said loudly: "I want to tell my grandfather quickly, don't take me to watch the ball game when my grandfather has something to do!" ”。

"Run slower, you tell grandpa, grandpa has something to do," Dinah got out of the car and said loudly to Nini who was running.

Ju An took Nini's painting from the back seat, and now there is a blank paper on the painting as a cover, afraid that the car will hurt the painting, seeing Nini trotting all the way, Ju An said to Dinah: "Doesn't the girl have a mobile phone, why is she still running so fast."

"Nini is wearing a little dragonfly costume, where can I put down my phone!" Dinah glanced at Ju An, Ju An remembered, touched his head and smiled, and walked towards the house with the painting in his squeak.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Nini holding the phone next to the sofa, talking to the phone, Xiao Chi stood next to her and said anxiously to Nini: "Sister! Let me tell my grandfather! ”。 After saying that, he grabbed Nini's arm and shouted loudly, "grandpa!grandpa!".

When Nini gave the microphone to Xiao Chi, the little baby didn't know what to tell her grandfather, she only knew that she was screaming grandpa! After screaming twice in a row, he seemed to remember something and said into the microphone: "grandpa! It's so good to be angry today." It's really good to be angry, and it's generally foreigners who don't have anything to say.

Hearing this, Dina and Ju An next to him immediately laughed, Ju An's waist bent when he laughed, and then translated Xiao Chi's words to his father and mother, and the two old men also laughed.

Seeing Xiao Chi chatting with Marcos on the phone, Ju An put the painting on the coffee table and said to Nini, "Did Grandpa agree?" ”。

"Hmmm! Well! The girl nodded to the chick pecking rice: "Grandpa agreed, and I will go to watch the ball after two years, and my grandfather also promised to take me to ski."

Ju An nodded when he heard this, and his father and mother picked up the painting, and the two old men looked at the painting and praised Nini's painting well, which made the girl grin and smile proudly.

Dad and Mom didn't see Nini's appearance at that time, and they didn't know the meaning of this painting, so they didn't feel as much as Dinah and Ju'an, anyway, their own children are good at everything is the principle of the two old people.

Ju An and Dina plus Nini have not eaten yet, Ju An and Dinah went to the house and heated the rice and vegetables left by their mother, the rice was already cold, Ju An fried it crisply, and the family of three was full of belly.

At night, Dinah asked Ju An to find a nail and hung Nini's painting on the bed in the bedroom, and when it was ready, Ju An stood and looked at it for a long time with her arms around Dinah, immersed in her memories. Until the Demon King's cry woke up the two in. (To be continued)
