Chapter 2009: I'm going to the Spring Festival Gala

New Year's Eve, a beautiful day for the Chinese family reunion.

After waking up in the morning and having breakfast, the family began to get busy, light up the lights, sweep the courtyard, and prepare to spend the last and most important day of the year in the best condition.

Since the courtyard where I live is much larger, everyone is a lot busier than in previous years, but everyone in the family enjoys it, and the whole house is immersed in a beaming atmosphere.

Because it is the Lunar New Year's Day, almost all tourist attractions in Beijing have been closed and the Lao Zhangganzi family did not go out for sightseeing. They all stayed at home, busy with everyone, and enjoyed it.

Especially Matthew and Evelyn, the harmonious atmosphere in the door of this mansion and the warm and touching affection between all family members made them quite envious and envied.

In fact, they have also become members of this big family, and they quickly integrated into it, enjoying the strong affection.

In a blink of an eye, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

In the living room of the inner courtyard, Grandpa just finished writing a pair of Spring Festival couplets, put the brush on the pen holder, and nodded in satisfaction.

In this pair of red paper and black letters, the couplet written in the official script that "the days increase the age, the life increases, and the spring is full of the universe". Every word is strong on the back of the paper and finished in one go. It looks very beautiful.

The father and the second uncle, who were standing next to the bookcase, looked at this pair of dragons and phoenixes, and they nodded frequently and sent a few words of praise.

Even Matthew, who doesn't understand Chinese, gave a few words of praise after Ye Tian's translation and interpretation.

Although he doesn't understand Chinese, he knows what beauty is!

When the ink on the couplets dries a little, Ye Tian is ready to pick up the couplets and go out, and paste the couplets on the moon gate leading from the inner courtyard to the garden.

At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and then he succumbed to his grandfather and dad and went to the next room to answer the phone.

About five or six minutes later, he returned to the living room and came to the bookcase, smiling and saying:

"Grandpa, Dad, and Second Uncle, there is something you need to make a decision. The Minister of Culture just called and specially invited our family to attend the Spring Festival Gala at 8pm.

The Minister of Culture told me on the phone that a table was reserved for our family, with a total of eight seats. Our family can sit together, and the table is very close to the stage with a good view.

Whether to go to the Spring Festival Gala, you have to make a decision. If you go, we have to make preparations. Some things that have been arranged before must be advanced in advance. If not, I will call back! "

Before the words finished, the second uncle said excitedly:

"Going to the CCTV studio to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and sitting next to the stage, this is a good thing, of course I want to go."

The little uncle patted Ye Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Your face is really not small, Xiaotian, the Minister of Culture actually called and invited you to the Spring Festival Gala."

"This is called repaying a peach for a plum. Yesterday I donated five thousand volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, which are priceless, to the National Library of China. This is a peach. Today the Minister of Culture invited me to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

And this is just the beginning. This kind of thing will definitely happen in the future. After the donation ceremony and press conference yesterday, the Minister of Culture talked to me about building a private museum. He himself is very supportive."

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression somewhat proud.

Unlike the second uncle and the young uncle, the grandfather and the old man were not eager to express their opinions, but fell silent.

Matthew, who stood by, was a little dazed, not understanding what had happened.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian quickly explained it, and a surprise flashed across Matthew's face.

Although he is an American and lives in Boston, thousands of miles away, he has long heard of the Spring Festival Gala, the world's largest and highest-rated large-scale party, and is very longing for it.

As early as in Boston, every Spring Festival, they could see the grand occasion of the Spring Festival Gala in various news reports.

Under curiosity, they have watched the Spring Festival Gala several times on the Internet and participated in the Spring Festival celebrations in Chinatown. They also liked the joyous excitement very much.

After thinking for a moment, Dad said:

"Your second uncle is right, Xiaotian, this is a good thing. You can participate. After all, it's the Chinese New Year. It is also good to go to the Spring Festival Gala to experience the atmosphere and spend the New Year with the people of the whole country.

Besides, since the Minister of Culture took the initiative to call and invite, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program group has also made corresponding arrangements, we still have the essentials for this favor and cannot easily refuse."

"It's true, Xiaotian, we have to take this favor to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala and celebrate the New Year with the people of the whole country. We can be regarded as the benefit of your kid"

Grandpa continued and said, with a final word, the matter was truly confirmed.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, and then continued:

"Okay, grandpa, then we will accept the invitation to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, but that table has only eight seats, that is to say, we can only go to eight people in our house. You have to decide who will go."

Without any hesitation, Grandpa gave the answer immediately.

"The Minister of Culture only invited our family to attend this year's Spring Festival Gala because of your face, so you and Betty must be there. It is indispensable.

As a guest from afar, we can't leave Betty's parents in the cold, and if we have this opportunity, we can't forget them, just let them experience the taste of Chinese New Year.

Going to watch the Spring Festival Gala, there should be no better way to experience it. In this way, there are still four seats left. We will discuss who will go.”

"There is no need to discuss, Dad, the remaining four seats will belong to you and my mother, as well as the two girls Linlin and Chenxi. We just need to stay at home and watch TV."

Dad smiled and said, taking all the remaining four seats out.

Second uncle and little uncle also nodded and agreed with a few sentences, and they did not disagree.

"Okay, this arrangement is very good, each of you has taken care of your small family"

Grandpa nodded and said, and decided this matter.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said again:

"One more thing, the Minister of Culture told me just now that because our table is close to the stage, we may need to participate in a show called'I have a family heirloom'.

The show is not complicated. When the Spring Festival Gala is on the scene, the director will tell us the relevant details, but we have to bring an heirloom to the scene. What should we bring? "

Hearing this, Dad and Second Uncle couldn't help but glance at each other.

"What should I bring to the Spring Festival Gala? There are so many good things at home, there are many valuable and top antique artworks, but that thing is considered a family heirloom!"

Thinking of this, Dad and the others couldn't help but make a difficult decision.

As for grandpa, he has fallen into contemplation again.

After a while, Grandpa gave the answer.

"Just take the pair of brass paved heads on the door of the old house. The pair of tiger head paved heads were originally installed on the door of the old house. In the late nineties, I was afraid of being stolen, so I removed it and collected it. In the cabinet.

Although the pair of shop heads is only something from the early years of the Republic of China, it is not worth a lot of money, or even an antique cultural relic, but it has accompanied the birth and growth of our family for several generations. It has a special meaning and can be regarded as a family heirloom! "

Hearing what Grandpa said, the father and the second uncle couldn't help laughing, and nodded gently.

"Okay, grandpa, just bring the pair of brass paved heads. They are indeed a very good pair of heirlooms. When my private museum is completed, I am going to display them in the China Pavilion.

That’s all for the Spring Festival Gala. I’ll call to inform the relevant people. There are other things that need to be rescheduled, such as the delivery time of the Beijing Hotel.”

After speaking ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and went to the next room to make a call.

The second uncle and the younger uncle also took out their mobile phones and called Linlin and Chenxi to inform the two girls that they were going to the Spring Festival Gala tonight, so that they could prepare early.

Immediately afterwards, there were two ecstatic cheers from across the courtyard, resounding through the entire gate of the mansion and even the entire Lishi Hutong.

"Great! I'm going to the Spring Festival Gala, long live my brother!"

"Ah! I can see my idol and other stars, it's great!"

Needless to say, the cheers of course came from the two girls Linlin and Chenxi.

Their cheers had not yet subsided, and there was another depressed howl from the little guy Dongzi.

"I don't have my share, why is it always me who is unlucky? It's not fair! Or is it not a family anymore? I have to go to the Spring Festival Gala!"
