Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

Three of the four people in the room were staring at Li Tianyou.

Especially when he was asked to talk in detail about David Komufei, Li Tianyou smiled bitterly in his heart.

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Let's eat first. Eating cold food is bad for your stomach." As he said that, he picked up a piece of food for Grandpa Zhou with his chopsticks.

Seeing that Li Tianyou didn't want to bring this up, Mr. Zhou stopped asking and started eating.

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Tianyou is right. Cold food is not good for the stomach. Let's eat first."

Zhang Fuwang was sweating profusely, thinking, "You little bastard, I'll settle the score with you when I get back." He was pretending to be a big shot here.

Gao Meiyu smiled sweetly, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She knew that her brother Tianyou was willing to help, otherwise he would not have told her grandfather who was far away in Hong Kong.

Because everyone had their own concerns, the meal was not as relaxing and enjoyable as it had been at the beginning.

After dinner, Li Tianyou said while making tea: "Grandpa, the relationship between the two places is unstable now. I only found out that I have such a relative when I met Grandpa David's family by chance."

Mr. Zhou looked at Li Tianyou and smiled: “Tianyou, if possible, I hope you can do your best.”

Zhang Fuwang also nodded and said: "I have also investigated the supplies given by Grandpa David Tianyou, and there is no trace of it."

Li Tianyou's heart skipped a beat and he knew that this kind of thing shouldn't be done. Curiosity killed the cat!

Li Tianyou handed the brewed tea to Grandpa Zhou and said, "Grandpa, I can tell you the details, but I hope you don't mention my name."

Zhang Fuwang scolded, "You little bastard, hurry up and tell me, you are still keeping your grandfather in suspense."

Gao Meiyu also pushed Li Tianyou's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Tianyou, just tell me, I'm also curious."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "You two, don't you think about it? Can you just talk about something like this?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Grandpa said, just don't be angry."

Mr. Zhou frowned and said, "Tianyou, you go."

Zhang Fuwang and Gao Meiyu were also confused by what they heard.

Li Tianyou said: "Grandpa, do you know that our country's cultural relics have been lost in recent times?"

Mr. Zhou's originally kind face also turned cold. From his position, he understood the meaning of Li Tianyou's words.

Gao Meiyu was stunned when she heard this and said, "Brother Tianyou, is this why you collect antiques?"

Mr. Zhou and Zhang Fuwang looked at each other.

Li Tianyou nodded and said, "Well, the way our country's antiques have been lost recently is how my supplies came from."

Zhang Fuwang said: "You little bastard, do you believe I will beat you up?"

Mr. Zhou said calmly: "Fuwang, you! You are always so anxious."

Li Tianyou said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be anxious."

Zhang Fuwang glanced at Li Tianyou unhappily and stopped interrupting.

Li Tianyou smiled and said: "Uncle, think about it, our country's antiques and calligraphy and paintings can be sent out of the country without anyone noticing, let alone these materials.

But I don’t know the specific transportation route and how to secretly leave the port. After all, I am just a small person.”

Old Master Zhou nodded and said: "Tianyou, these countries you mentioned really have no ability to stop it now. We also know this and are trying to crack down on it, but we still can't stop it." After Old Master Zhou said these words, he looked a little lonely.

It is the unwillingness in my heart and the anger at my own powerlessness.

Li Tianyou looked at Grandpa Zhou and said seriously: "Grandpa, I also collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but my efforts alone are still a drop in the bucket. The most important thing is that I bought too many and I am afraid that someone will miss them."

Grandpa Zhou looked at Li Tianyou with eyes full of kindness and love, and said: "Tianyou, I am very happy that you can have this idea. I am happy that you can think of this aspect at such a young age. Grandpa is very happy for you."

Li Tianyou sighed and said, "Grandpa, let's get back to the point. I'll tell you in detail about Grandpa David and his collection of antiques."

Li Tianyou recounted his relationship with David Komufei in detail. Of course, the story about meeting family members must be fake. Li Tianyou needed an excuse, an excuse to take out supplies.

Then he told everyone why he collected antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

This incident also gave Li Tianyou an unexpected surprise, as he mixed up his collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings with the matter of supplies, and he couldn't find any problems with the two.

I was originally planning to look for Guo Weimin, but now there is no need to do that. I have to put all the blame on Grandpa David, whom I have never met.

Zhang Fuwang frowned after hearing what Li Tianyou said and asked, "Tianyou, are you sure that your grandfather from Great Britain will pay for the antiques and calligraphy and paintings to remain in the country?"

Old Master Zhou also looked at Li Tianyou, and he didn't believe what Li Tianyou said in his heart. They paid the money, and you took the things and kept them in the country. Are they doing charity?

Li Tianyou nodded and said, "I can be sure of that, because I am the one who keeps the antiques and calligraphy and paintings I received. I can't let these good things left by our ancestors be lost abroad. If that happens, our descendants will have to go abroad to see these things in the future."

Gao Meiyu frowned and said, "Brother Tianyou, what if your grandfather David asks you for these antiques?"

Zhang Fuwang also said: "Yes, what should you do if he asks you for it? If you don't give it to him, your foreign grandfather will be angry with you. How will you deal with it?"

Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea and said, "He wants it? Will Tianyou give it to him?"

Gao Meiyu and Zhang Fuwang were both stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that such a kind and amiable Grandpa Zhou could be so domineering.

They were right in their thinking. Anyone who had waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood would not be a heartless person.

Li Tianyou shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, Grandpa David won't ask me for it."

Li Tianyou thought, I collected it myself and he doesn’t even know about it, what use is that for him?

Gao Meiyu looked at Li Tianyou with her eyes wide open and asked, "Brother Tianyou, why?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Why are there so many reasons? I said I can't do it, so just keep it in mind."

Old Master Zhou looked at Li Tianyou with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't ask too many questions. After all, what happened today had brought him too many mysteries. There was no need to find out some things clearly, otherwise a good thing would turn into a bad thing.

Zhang Fuwang also shut up and stopped being curious, because he also knew that some things were fine as long as they were beneficial to him. There was no need to dig into the details.

Mr. Zhou said, "As for the antiques, just do as Tianyou said!" Then he looked at Li Tianyou and said, "I'll let Fuwang cover for you, so you can collect them without worry."

Li Tianyou nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa. But for the supplies, I still have to go to Hong Kong. It was ok if the supplies were small, but if they were large, I would have to go."

Zhang Fuwang panicked when he heard this. He regretted it now. He should not have mentioned it earlier. If Li Tianyou went to Hong Kong, what if something happened? He would regret it to death.

Gao Meiyu asked curiously: "Brother Tianyou, can you take me with you?"

Li Tianyou shook his head and said, "You can't go this time, but if we go to Hong Kong next time, you can go with me."

Gao Meiyu pouted and said, "Why? Brother Tianyou."

Li Tianyou looked at Gao Meiyu with a face full of resentment and said with a smile: "Yu'er, I am not familiar with the situation in Hong Kong, so I dare not take you with me rashly."

Gao Meiyu knew that Li Tianyou said this for her own good, but she was also worried about you, Brother Tianyou!

Zhang Fuwang looked unhappy, and said to Li Tianyou with a worried look on his face: "Do you really have to go? Can't you contact them?"

Li Tianyou shook his head and said, "Uncle, if you want a small amount, it's fine. If you want a large amount, I have to go there. Besides, collecting antiques, calligraphy and paintings also requires money."

Mr. Zhou said, "Tianyou, I can arrange for you to go to Hong Kong. Please tell me a time." Then he looked at Gao Meiyu and said, "My daughter, don't worry, I will definitely bring Tianyou back safely."

Gao Meiyu nodded when she heard that. What Mr. Zhou said would definitely bring her back safely.

Zhang Fuwang sighed softly, looked at Li Tianyou and said: "You little bastard, work harder these days. I'm anxious to have a grandson."

Gao Meiyu's face turned red after hearing Zhang Fuwang's words and she lowered her head in shame.

Old Master Zhou just laughed and didn't scold Zhang Fuwang because he also wanted to have a great-grandson.

Mr. Zhou had no children in his life and spent his entire life with his beloved.

Li Tianyou laughed and said, "The sooner the better. We should try to finalize the materials as soon as possible and then ship them back to China."

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "Tomorrow night, I will arrange for Tianyou to go to Xiangjiang."

Li Tianyou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see how to contact you after we've settled the supplies. I hope you can arrange the supplies in advance this time and don't let anyone else know."

Zhang Fuwang nodded and said, "Leave this to me. I will never let you show up in anyone's sight. Even if they know, they will think it is the supplies that the old leader has sent. I will go to receive them."

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Grandpa and Uncle."

Li Tianyou finalized the Hong Kong matter with them and started chatting about family matters.

Unconsciously, more than an hour passed. Zhang Fuwang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Tianyou, it's getting late. Your grandfather still has work to do. Let's go back first. You should also go back and get ready."

Li Tianyou knew that even if they left, his grandfather would not rest until he finished today's work. He had already delayed his grandfather for so long today, and he knew that he could not disturb his grandfather any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye to Grandpa Zhou.

After Li Tianyou, Zhang Fuwang, and Gao Meiyu left Grandpa Zhou, Gao Meiyu also sighed: "Grandpa has worked too hard."

Li Tianyou also sighed and said: "This is also the reason why I don't want to disturb Grandpa."

Zhang Fuwang smiled and said, "Well, you two little kids don't need to speak up for your grandfather. You two should work harder to have a child."

Li Tianyou smiled and teased Gao Meiyu, "Yu'er, did you hear that? Grandpa and uncle are urging you to do it, but you still don't work harder."

Gao Meiyu blushed with shame and said coquettishly: "Brother Tianyou, I will ignore you."

Gao Meiyu was also feeling bitter. She had worked so hard at night, but Brother Tianyou still teased her. Humph, Brother Tianyou is a bad guy.
