Xia Li came out with a fruit plate, and Zhou Yuheng asked casually:
"Mom, are there guests at home?"
The smile on Xia Li's face faltered slightly, and she replied perfunctorily, "A doctor from your unit came by and asked about your recovery from your previous injury."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuheng was still a little confused.
A doctor in the army?
He thought about it but couldn't find the name.
Seeing her son like that, Xia Li was afraid that someone would ask her more questions, so she pulled Chu Yun aside and started talking.
"Xiaoyun, look what good things Auntie has prepared for you."
Charlie opened the big gift box that was originally intended for someone and pushed it in front of the person.
"I was originally planning to have Yu Heng give it to you, but since you're here, I'll see if you like it."
Chu Yun was surprised and happy to see the dazzling array of good things.
She picked up the most beautiful little crown and said with a smile, "Auntie, you are so kind to me. These are so beautiful. Thank you, Auntie."
"No thanks, no thanks, why are you being so polite to Auntie..."
As I was saying,
Mr. Zhou is back.
Two old friends followed him.
Charlie obviously knew the two elderly people and stood up to greet them.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Sun, hello."
Zhou Yuheng stood up and walked over, supporting his grandfather and greeting the two elders.
The two old people were very familiar with the Zhou family. After greeting Xia Li and Zhou Yuheng, they looked at Chu Yun with envy.
One of the old men smiled and said, "Oh, this girl is the one in the newspaper. She is even prettier in person than in the newspaper."
Another old man smiled and praised, "Old Zhou praised Yuheng's partner so much, we were all curious, and it was a coincidence that we ran into him today."
Mr. Zhou laughed heartily and said bluntly, "My little Yun is amazing. You'll know the more you get to know her."
After saying that, Mr. Zhou also said to Chu Yun: "Xiao Yun, this is your Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Sun."
Chu Yun felt a little embarrassed by everyone's praise, so she politely bowed slightly and greeted the two old men.
"Hello, Grandpa Zhang, hello, Grandpa Sun, my name is Chu Yun, you two elders can just call me Xiao Yun."
Chu Yun's graceful and elegant demeanor won a good impression from the two seniors.
"Okay, we old guys have heard your Grandpa Zhou talk about it a long time ago. He always smiles from ear to ear every time he mentions it."
"That's right. Old Zhou was holding the newspaper to show off. But this kid is so outstanding at such a young age that he can even make the front page of a newspaper."
As the two old men spoke, they felt envious and praised Old Man Zhou for his good fortune.
My son and daughter-in-law are filial, my grandson is promising, and now he has found such a good grandson-in-law.
For old people of their age, the older they get, the more they want these things. After all, a harmonious family is the key to success, and a good family tradition will make each generation better than the previous one.
Mr. Zhou smiled and asked them to sit down.
Xia Li went to serve tea, and Zhou Yuheng put the cakes he bought on the table.
Then he took Chu Yun's hand and sat down.
The old people started talking about young people, and then they talked about the large-scale sale of old items.
"These unfilial descendants sold the things passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors to foreigners, and they are not afraid of being embarrassed to see their ancestors after death."
"Those people are so short-sighted, blinded by the money in front of them. They don't realize that these things are symbols of our cultural heritage. Foreigners buying them up in large quantities definitely have ulterior motives."
Chu Yun felt deeply empathetic after hearing this and couldn't help but speak: "Grandpa Sun is right. If our things are passed on to foreign countries, they will all end up in their museums and become their property. How sad it will be for our descendants to see them in the future. This kind of thing must be taken care of."
A lot of precious cultural relics had already been stolen, and now with such large-scale acquisitions, all the treasures have been taken into the pockets of outsiders. It will be difficult to get them back in the future.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Sun sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Who can control the buying and selling of personal belongings? Those with conscience know how to sell to themselves, but those without conscience are obsessed with selling to foreigners. There's no way to control them."
Chu Yun felt a little sad when she heard this and said, "It's easy to sell it, but it's hard to get it back. Don't museums or cultural institutions here care about it?"
Old Master Zhou spoke to comfort her, "Xiao Yun, you're a good child, but these matters are quite complicated. The cultural institutions and museums you mentioned can only promote the protection of cultural relics. There are many people who trade privately in places that are not visible."
Chu Yun was speechless.
But she didn't give up in her heart. She was lucky to return to this era, and if she didn't do something, she would always feel sorry for her ancestors.
Seeing the man like this, Zhou Yuheng said something to his grandfather and elders, then took the man's hand and walked out of the yard.
"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about the cultural relics?"
Zhou Yuheng asked softly.
Chu Yun felt a little depressed, and nodded, saying, "I don't want my country's things to be lost outside, but my power alone is too limited."
Zhou Yuheng embraced the man and patted him, then hesitated for a moment and said:
"Let me take you to visit Grandpa Tang. He's a prestigious figure in Beijing and has a certain appeal."
Chu Yun's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately looked up at him, "Zhou Yuheng, you are so smart!"
Yes, Mr. Tang is an upright and patriotic person.
Although he has now retreated behind the scenes, he certainly does not want his country's things to be lost abroad.
Chu Yun looked at the time. It was still early, but she couldn't just go there without authorization.
"Or else, make an appointment in advance and see if there are more people and you have time later."
Zhou Yuheng nodded, "Okay, I'll do it."

Mr. Tang, who received the call, had just returned from a trip. He said that he would be at home for the next two days and would come directly to their house when they were free.
