A quarter past seven in the evening.

As the sky sank, dusk approached, and the bewitching night gradually covered the overhead.

In the No. 1 villa of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, a smell of vegetables wafted out from the crack in the kitchen door, and it was very fragrant. In the living room, Xie Huilan took a blood pressure monitor to measure the blood pressure of Han Jing, who had just been discharged from the hospital in the morning, Xie Jing, Xie Ran, Xie Hao and several other juniors were watching from the side, and after a while, Di Di Di made a few clear sounds, and the blood pressure result came out, "Pulse 76, blood pressure 70-110, normal." ”

When Xie Jing heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Han Jing smiled softly: "I'll just say it's okay, don't worry." ”

Xie Huilan squinted her eyes and slowly untied the measuring tape on her mother's arm, "It's time to eat, you drink the medicine first, Xiaohao, go get a glass of water." ”

"Hey!" Xie Hao immediately turned upside down.

Han Jing patted the back of Xie Huilan's hand, "I know that I want to call your brother, why don't you go?" By the way, what about Xiaobin? Come over today? ”

Xie Huilan smiled, "I called and told him, he said to come, but I called a few more just now, maybe the phone is out of battery, it hasn't turned on, and I don't know what I'm busy talking about, I'll try it again." After that, she touched her mobile phone and dialed the number, and after a few seconds, Xie Huilan put the phone down, her eyes narrowed even smaller, "It's still off, my mother dares to be late for her birthday, and let the whole family wait for him, this Xiaobin!" ”

Han Jing touched her hand, "There must be something going on over there." ”

Xie Huilan helped her mother stand up, "You serve the table, don't wait for him, let's eat." ”

Xie Ran on the side looked at his watch, and his brows couldn't help frowning, Mrs. Han was hospitalized last night, and Xie Huilan accompanied the bed, but Dong Xuebin, the quasi-grandson-in-law who was recognized by the old man, was nowhere to be found, and left the hospital without even saying hello, and he couldn't see anyone during the day today, who would have thought that he hadn't come at night? It's my aunt's birthday, and I don't turn on my phone when it's so important? Isn't this spectrum a bit big?

Over there, the eldest Xie Guobang, the second Xie Guoliang and the third Xie Guojian also came down from upstairs.

Xie Guobang looked down, "Xiao Dong hasn't come yet?" ”

"He's in a bit of a hurry." Xie Huilan gave Dong Xuebin a round sentence, "It's almost there." ”

Xie Guojian is a lieutenant general, and he is relatively straight, so when he heard the words, he frowned and said, "What time is it?" What could be more important than your mother's birthday? ”

Xie Ran thought so.

Xie Huilan smiled and looked over, "Second uncle, what you said is a bit of a problem, the local government is different from the military system, it is a peaceful era, you don't have much to do there, I know this, but the local area is different, right?" Everything should put the interests of the people and the interests of the country first, if there is an earthquake over there, Xiaobin and I will come over to celebrate my mother's birthday, not to mention that the people do not agree, my mother is estimated to have to slap me, don't you say? "These words are full of medicine.

Xie Ran originally wanted to interject, he also felt that Dong Xuebin was a little rude this time, but when he saw the expression of the eldest sister, he was speechless, he didn't want to scold, the eldest sister's temper was known to everyone in the family, and Xie Ran also had a deep understanding when he was a child, so he was always a little afraid of his eldest sister.

Han Jing glared at her daughter, "Huilan! How can you talk to your second uncle! ”

Xie Guojian was angry, "You girl is quite short-sighted, he Xiao Dong is late, I can't say a word?" Yes? ”

Xie Guojian's wife, Ci Lifen, hurriedly pulled him, "You don't have to say a word." ”

Xie Hao slapped his head and made a pause gesture, "Dad, sister, why are you two choking, let's eat, let's eat, it's ......a happy event."

Xie Guoliang smiled bitterly, "Third child, it's okay, let's eat." ”

It can be seen that because of the loss of the sandstone Bodhisattva statue in the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes, everyone is not in a very good mood.

Ringing ringing, ringing ringing, the phone at home rang suddenly.

Han Jing immediately stood up, "...... I'll pick it up. ”

Everyone knew that Han Jing was waiting for this call, so Xie Huilan helped her over, "...... Feed. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm Xie Guoyue, I heard that your body is ...... How's it going? ”

Han Jing's eyes faded imperceptibly, and he forced a smile: "Guoyue, hehe, sister-in-law is fine...... Uh-huh...... Thank you...... Well, you also pay more attention to your body......"

Han Jing has actually been waiting for the call of the old man Xie, every year on her birthday, the old man will make a phone call, every year, without one exception, but this year...... But no, Han Jing's nose was a little sour, she endured it, she hung up the phone and sat back down at the table, took a breath, forced a smile on her face, and beckoned the juniors to come to the table, thanking them for coming over to celebrate her birthday.

Everyone sees it in their eyes, and they feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

It was supposed to be a happy day, but now it's ......

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was somewhat silent.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, the doorbell is ringing. Xie Hao immediately jumped up from the chair, walked out to look at the monitor, and opened the door, "Brother-in-law, are you here?" ”

Dong Xuebin was a little panting, "It's late, right?" ”

Xie Hao said in a low voice: "You can be careful, my eldest sister just quarreled with my father for you." He said it briefly.

After listening, Dong Xuebin's heart warmed, he didn't expect Huilan to be so tight with herself, "Uh, blame me for blaming me, look at this trouble, Huilan too, how can you talk back to the elders, hi." He hurriedly changed his shoes with the door, stepped on the cotton slippers and walked in breathlessly, this day can make Dong Xuebin tired, his body and spirit were tense for a long time, and when he came, he trotted for a while, and the sweat came out.

As soon as he entered the living room, everyone looked at him.

Dong Xuebin held a bag and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to prepare a gift for my aunt, and my phone is out of battery again, this, I'll punish myself, I'll punish myself." He poured himself a glass of wine, and Dong Xuebin grunted it in one gulp, and there was not a drop left.

Han Jing smiled and said, "Just come, there are not so many polite words, sit down." ”

After sitting down, Dong Xuebin blinked his eyes, sweat, what kind of atmosphere is this?

It was supposed to be a happy birthday banquet like this, Xie Jing felt that it was all his responsibility, and if he hadn't lost the Bodhisattva statue, he wouldn't have ...... Thinking of this, Xie Jing's heart tingled, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out the porcelain from the folk kiln from the side, and changed the topic: "Auntie, I wish you a long life, a porcelain, I don't know if you like it or not." As he spoke, he handed it over.

Han Jing took a look at it, and couldn't put it down: "Okay, thank you for being quiet, hehe." ”

Xie Hao, Xie Ran and others also took out gifts, and Han Jing thanked them one by one, "It's so beautiful, thank you." ”

It is said that it should be Xie Huilan's turn to deliver things, but she didn't plan to come over to celebrate her birthday this time, there is still something in the county, because Han Jing suddenly fell ill and hurried over, and accompanied the hospital to bed, of course, there was no time to buy things, so Xie Huilan smiled diligently and turned her head to the side, and then fell on Dong Xuebin's face, spreading her empty hands, and then Nunu's chin, which means it's your turn.

Dong Xuebin understood, cleared his throat, and slowly opened the cloth bag, "Auntie, this is a little bit of a heart between me and Huilan......"

The bag buckle is unfastened. Xie Hao, Xie Ran and others all looked over, and they all wanted to see what the gifts Dong Xuebin had prepared for a whole day were.

One second......

Two seconds......

The contents are finally revealed.

When they saw the Bodhisattva statue, everyone was stunned.

Xie Huilan sighed, "Bodhisattva statue? Where did you get it? ”

Dong Xuebin said in his heart, where else can I get it? Then he handed the thing to Han Jing, who was a little stunned, "Auntie, I wish you good health and happiness every day." ”

Han Jing took it and touched it nostalgically, "Xiaobin, thank you, you have a heart." ”

Huh? What's the reaction? Dong Xuebin couldn't cry or laugh, his heart said that it was not right, why are you not excited.

Xie Huilan looked at him with a smile, "You are capable, there is only one sitting statue of the sandstone Bodhisattva in the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes that has been unearthed, and it has been in the hands of the old man and my mother, it is difficult to find even imitations on the market, and it took you a day to find one?" Hehe, it's quite like the real thing, well, Shen Yun is also there, and the material seems to be quite open? Yes, is it a high imitation? It costs at least 100,000 yuan to buy this kind of condition, right? ”

Xie Hao also nodded heavily, "It's the same as the real thing." ”

Dong Xuebin almost fell off the chair, I went to it, my buddy worked so hard to steal it back, why is it still called the same as the real thing? It's real! However, Dong Xuebin also knows their mentality, just like the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", which is now in the Palace Museum, so someone on the market really needs to give you an identical "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", you don't have to think about it to know that it is a fake, the same reason.

Han Jing knew that Dong Xuebin was thinking about it, but after all, a high imitation is a high imitation, even if the imitation is no longer true, it can't be true, and after seeing things and thinking about things, Han Jing's depressed mood was hooked again, and her heart ached, so she quickly put things away and didn't look at it again. She knew that the real Bodhisattva statue would never come back, and all she had to do now was to adjust her mindset as soon as possible and stop thinking about it.

Dong Xuebin hurriedly said: "Aunt, this Bodhisattva is like ......"

Han Jingqiang smiled: "I like it a lot, I'll provide it in the future, hehe." ”

"No, I mean this thing ......"

Ci Lifen interrupted: "Hehe, let's eat, while it's hot." ”

Xie Ran also frowned and looked at Dong Xuebin, and said in his heart, Didn't you look at the expression of your aunt, why did you mention that the Bodhisattva is like a Bodhisattva?

Xie Huilan touched him with her hand under the table, not letting him say any more.

The atmosphere at the table was a little dull again.

was interrupted several times, Dong Xuebin was depressed, I'll go, buddy, I can't say this.

Suddenly, a piece of news suddenly sounded on the plasma TV behind him, Xie Hao's ears were good, and after listening to a sentence coldly, he was stunned, and quickly turned up the volume of the TV with a sigh.

I saw a line written at the bottom of the screen - A major theft has occurred at the Tokyo National Museum!
