Treasure Hunt all over the World

At noon the next day, the apron on the roof of the logistics base at the east end of 78th Street.

The Airbus H155 roared from the northern sky and landed steadily on the apron on the roof of the building.

After a gust of wind swept through, the H155's propeller speed began to decrease rapidly, and the deafening engine roar gradually became smaller.

After the helicopter engine was turned off and the propellers stopped completely, Ye Tian pushed open the last iron door leading to the roof, took Betty up to the roof, and walked towards the Airbus H155 on the tarmac.

at the same time.

The cockpit door of the Airbus H155 was also pushed open, and the old man Ganzi's family came out, carrying two suitcases!

Because of the heavy snow yesterday and the time of Christmas, the road conditions around New York are generally poor, even the highways are not much better!

Considering this situation, Ye Tian finally decided to let George drive the H155 to Boston to pick up the old man Ganzi's family, instead of letting them drive to New York, which is likely to be blocked halfway.

Therefore, they can arrive in New York at this time, otherwise it is uncertain when it will be!

In a few steps, the two sides met on the roof!

"Good afternoon, Matthew, Evelyn, Merry Christmas, welcome to New York, I hope you enjoy this trip to New York and have a merry Christmas!"

Ye Tian stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time took the suitcase from Matthew's hand.

Then, he greeted Logan behind him.

"Good afternoon, Steven, and Merry Christmas to you too. This helicopter is really great, it's almost like a luxury business class, very comfortable! It's 10,000 times better than driving!"

Matthew first said hello, and then said with admiration, obviously very satisfied with the air travel.

Evelyn and Logan did the same, admiring the helicopter behind them.

Of course it is worthy of admiration, this is a top-level business helicopter worth 10 million US dollars, how can it be compared with your Buick Boulevard!

After chatting for a few words, Ye Tian led everyone to the anti-theft iron gate ahead, preparing to go downstairs and go home.

After leaving the logistics base, they did not go home immediately, but went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

By the time they finished their lunch and returned to their apartment on 110th Street, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After resting at home for about half an hour, Logan ran out to go shopping.

For this kid, the streets of New York during Christmas are obviously more attractive than home!

The rest didn't go there, and all stayed at home. Betty and Evelyn started preparing for the Christmas dinner at night, and they were extremely busy!

Of course, Evelyn is the main cook, and Betty is in charge!

Ye Tian took Matthew to visit his new collection, and explained the origin and value of these antique artworks to the old man.

Now Matthew, seems to have become a collector enthusiast, full of strong interest in all kinds of antique works of art!

Time passed quickly, and it was nightfall in a blink of an eye.

It's Christmas Eve.

The lights on the Christmas tree in front of the fireplace were all lit up, colorful and beautiful; beautiful Christmas decorations can be seen everywhere inside and outside the apartment, full of strong Christmas atmosphere.

Near seven o'clock, a sumptuous Christmas dinner was served on the table.

Like Thanksgiving, roast turkey is the main course, as well as smoked ham, Christmas salmon, Christmas pudding, vegetable salad, creamy polenta, etc. The dishes are very rich and fragrant!

Of course, there is also the indispensable top-notch French red wine, which adds a bit of flavor to this wonderful evening.

At a quarter to seven, Logan returned to the apartment.

Everyone has arrived, and the Christmas dinner officially begins, and everyone sits around the dining table.

Prayer is customary before meals.

Originally, Ye Tian, ​​the host, was supposed to recite the prayers, but he is not a Christian, so Matthew could only take the lead.

After praying, everyone immediately began to enjoy delicious food and wine, and spent this wonderful day amidst laughter and laughter.

After the dinner party is over and packed up,

It's already nine o'clock in the evening.

Everyone returned to the living room, chatting while watching the live broadcast of NBC TV station.

The live broadcast at this time is the Christmas celebration held in the Rockefeller Center Plaza, which is very exciting!

At half past ten, the live TV broadcast ended, and it was time to exchange gifts.

Since the family doesn't have kids yet, there's no need to stuff presents into socks, write names on them, and wait until Christmas morning to open them! All gifts can be given and opened in person!

Ye Tian, ​​the host, was the one who took out the gift first.

He got up and walked to the Christmas tree, picked up two beautifully wrapped boxes from the floor, walked over and placed them in front of Matthew and Evelyn respectively.

"Matthew, this is a small sculpture of a man standing and thinking. Of course, this is not the thinker of Rodin, but the work of the modern sculptor Antony Gormure.

Anthony Gormure is one of the most famous sculptors today, especially good at human body sculpture. Most of his works are in the same proportion as the real human body. Small sculptures are very rare and very valuable for collection.

I found this sculpture by accident at the Chelsea Antique Market in Manhattan. I bought it after feeling good. Taking this opportunity today, I will give it to you as a Christmas present. I hope you like it! "

Hearing these words, Matthew immediately had a look of surprise on his face.

"Anthony Gormure, is that famous British sculptor? He held a solo exhibition in Boston two years ago, which caused quite a stir. Although I didn't go to see it, I heard about it!

His sculptures seem to be worth a lot, right? It is said that each piece is worth more than a million dollars. Is this Christmas gift too expensive? I can't accept this gift! You should take it back! "

As he spoke, he pushed back the box containing the gift, his action was quite resolute, but his eyes were full of reluctance.

This is the work of a top contemporary artist! Can't bear to change anyone? Even saying the words of refusal requires a lot of determination!

Million dollar plus sculpture! And it was a Christmas present for Matthew!

Both Evelyn and Logan were stunned by the price of this sculpture, and also shocked by Ye Tian's generosity, which is too generous!

Betty, on the other hand, was very calm. She was used to this kind of thing, and she was used to it for a long time!

What is this! What happened at the Plaza Hotel last night was far more shocking than this!

"That's right, it's him. He's the only famous sculptor named Anthony Gormuret. His sculptures are indeed valuable, and he's very popular in the art collection market!

But that's for others, for me, it only cost $300 to buy this sculpture! It's not worth mentioning at all, so just take it and don't think too much about it!

This sculpture does not have the signature of Anthony Gormuret. If you are not a person who has studied or is very familiar with him, you should not recognize this sculpture. You can safely keep it at home! "

As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Betty immediately echoed:

"Dad, Steven is right, you just think it's a $300 Christmas present, don't even think about it, just take it"

Matthew was not too pretentious, after a moment of pondering, he nodded and accepted this expensive Christmas gift.

Afterwards, he immediately began to disassemble the outer packaging of this gift, and at the same time said excitedly:

"Let me admire the work of this master of modern sculpture! But to be honest, let me treat a sculpture worth a million dollars as an ordinary piece of $300, I'm afraid I can't do it!"

"Hahaha"

Several people at the scene laughed.

Both Evelyn and Logan nodded in sympathy. It is the same for most people. It is impossible to ignore such a huge price gap!

Ye Tian and Betty were also laughing softly, both very relaxed.
