Chapter 274 Family Chat
Lin Xi sat on the big sofa at home, eating the fruit Feng Yuchen prepared for her, watching the uproar on the Internet.
Especially the Yasukuni Shrine in the island country, the flames were finally extinguished after burning for a day and a night, and the inside was burned cleanly. I felt so happy to see this.
As for the returned cultural relics, that was also something we had thought about before. Returning only those to China would inevitably cause trouble, so it would be better to return them all.
Although those cultural relics are precious, Lin Xi feels that he can empathize with the pain of seeing so many Chinese cultural relics lost abroad.
Thinking of his own actions, Lin Xi couldn't help but boast: This is the style of a great country!
Suddenly, the cell phone rang. Lin Xi took it out and saw that it was Director Wang calling. She should know why he called.
They returned yesterday. They first went to Beijing, found Mr. Yun and retrieved the nine cultural relics. Then they went straight to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and signed the cultural relics donation letter.
This really excited the old experts and staff, and they pulled the two of them over to praise them. There was supposed to be a donation ceremony, but they refused and took the fastest flight back to Melbourne.
Of course, the Cultural Relics Administration still gave the donation certificate and bonus.
At that time, the issue of the reward was discussed for a long time. Everyone knew that she had taken the photos with her own money, and the value of the cultural relics was so high that they really didn't know how much was appropriate to give.
In fact, she didn't want the bonus and she was not short of money.
Finally, she expressed her opinion: As Chinese people, no one wants to see their country's cultural relics drifting in a foreign land. Choosing to hand over these cultural relics to the country is a belief that the country can make the best use of them and enable the Chinese people to understand that period of history and their charm.
The people present were already very grateful for her donation, and after hearing these words, they became even more excited and moved.
The director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage applied for a reward of 300 million yuan from the higher authorities. Compared with the money she spent, it was really nothing, but it was also a token of appreciation from the country.
Because of Lin Xi's actions, special arrangements were made and the money was transferred to her card the day after they returned to Mo City.
It is worth mentioning that the whole family was very happy when the two came back. However, seeing how close the two were, Lin's mother secretly asked about their situation, and then asked Feng Yuchen a series of questions.
Lin's mother and Mei Yulan were very satisfied with him, but the three men in the family were different.
Although Han Chengde and Lin Tian didn't say anything, they had been finding things for Feng Yuchen to do in the past day or two since he came back. Whenever they saw him approaching Lin Xi, they would find an excuse to call him away.
Ye Xi was even more direct. He would ask Feng Yuchen to show him how to do things from time to time, while the other two men watched with great interest.
Putting aside the competition among the three men at home, the phone call has to be answered.
As soon as Lin Xi pressed the answer button, Director Wang's loud voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xixi, why don't you come to the institute after you come back?"
"Uncle Wang, we just got back a day or two, we will come tomorrow."
Director Wang said anxiously: "Don't wait until tomorrow, come now, call Xiaochen along, I'll wait for you."
Lin Xi looked at the sky outside and said, "Uncle Wang, the institute is almost off work, so let's come back tomorrow."
"Then you must promise to come tomorrow."
"I promise."
After hearing this, Director Wang immediately smiled and said, "Uncle will wait for you at the institute tomorrow."
Lin Xi: I was fooled!
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi stopped looking at what was happening online. He put down his phone and went to the courtyard.
Mei Yulan and Han Chengde were tending to the vegetable garden, and Feng Yuchen was helping them.
"Grandma, you and Grandpa have been busy all afternoon, come and take a rest."
Mei Yulan was happy when she saw Lin Xi, "It's not tiring to have Xiaochen's help."
"I heard that you donated several cultural relics to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, two of which are national treasures?"
"Grandpa, you know." Lin Xi looked like he was asking for praise.
Han Chengde smiled and said, "I did a great thing, why didn't you tell me when I came back?"
"Hehe, I'm thin-skinned and I'm afraid that you will praise me to the sky." If Lin Xi had a tail, it would have been knocked to the sky.
Mei Yulan laughed and scolded: "You little naughty monkey, you only know how to tease us."
Several people chatted and laughed.
Han Chengde whispered, "Speaking of which, I got the news that the country secretly acquired a batch of cultural relics."
Lin Xi blinked, "Isn't that a good thing?"
"I heard that this batch of cultural relics is extremely large in number, and no one knows who sent them. The most important ones seem to be the ones that were lost from the L City Museum in Country E."
Lin Xi and Feng Yuchen looked at each other secretly, "This thief is really amazing, he can steal things from the museum."
Han Chengde pondered for a long time, perhaps feeling that what he was about to say was a little wrong, but he still said, "Theft is not desirable, but these people still have a sense of justice. They returned the stolen items to the country they belonged to. This can be regarded as chivalrous thieves."
Lin Xi found it funny to see the old man who was obviously extremely happy but still looked serious on the surface, and muttered to himself: If you knew that there were only two people in this group of thieves and one of them was your granddaughter, you would be scared to death.
But what Lin Xi didn't know was that various countries were looking for them. Country E even issued a bounty on the dark web, determined to find the person who stole the things, but to no avail.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Country E is also putting pressure on the countries that have received the cultural relics to return them.
However, how could they take their things out again after they had finally been sent back? Several countries represented by China negotiated with Country E, but in the end they did not get any benefit and were even ridiculed by the foreign ministries of several countries.
Of course, these are things to follow.
Lin Xi chatted with the two elders for a while, and then Lin's mother and Lin Tian came back from get off work. Not long after the night banquet, they also came back with Xue Yin.
Xueyin rushed over when she saw Lin Xi. [Xixi]
【Is it clean? 】
[It’s clean now, smell it.] Xueyin moved closer to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi rubbed its head and said, "I'll give you an extra piece of meat tonight."
When Xueyin heard this, she was so happy that she jumped to the kitchen.
Xueyin has grown too big, and it is inconvenient to bathe her at home, so we always go to the pet store to bathe her.
And there has to be someone there to accompany it all the time, otherwise it will definitely make a fuss. Ye Xi took it to take a bath today.
During the meal, Han Chengde said, "Your second grandfather's birthday is coming up, so I must take you back this year."
Now everyone in the family knows that Han Chengde comes from a hidden family. Originally, Han Chengyi had asked them to return to the clan a long time ago. However, since Lin Xi knew that his grandfather came from a hidden family and was a direct descendant, he felt that he had to at least make some achievements before returning, otherwise he would embarrass his grandfather.
So, when Han Chengde proposed to take them back, Lin Xi refused.
Now, it's about time to go and take a look.
Lin Xi asked: "When are we going back?"
Han Chengde thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe in five days. Your second grandfather's birthday is still a week away. We will go back two days early so that we can show you around the clan."
"Then what should we give to Second Grandpa for his birthday?" Lin Xi and the others had never met Han Chengyi, and didn't know what he liked.
Han Chengde smiled and said, "Give him some tea from home, and he will be very happy."
The tea their family drinks now is all produced from the spiritual tea trees in Lin Xi's space, so it is naturally of excellent quality.
Hearing the teasing words, several people laughed.
However, Lin Xi was thinking: Second Grandfather likes to drink tea, so I have to bring some tea, just as a way of honoring the elders. But I can't just listen to Grandfather. It's my first time going there, and it's Second Grandfather's birthday, so I still have to prepare generous gifts. And there are other people in the clan, so I have to prepare more.
While thinking about it, Lin Xi was already rummaging around to find out what was in his space.
Finally, the departure time was set, and Lin Xi told Han Chengde not to worry about the gifts, as she would prepare them. The family chatted for a while and then went back to their room to rest.
