Chapter 554 A Stone

Qin Dahai stared at it for a while, then touched it. He was not mistaken, it was just a stone.

Although it is said that the gift may be small but the sentiment is great, no, this gift is not small at all. It is probably the heaviest of all birthday gifts.

Such a big stone must weigh about 40 to 50 kilograms.

Qin Dahai held it in for a long time before asking angrily, "Who sent this? Damn, you sent such a big piece. Are you trying to embarrass me?"

Before Qin Jingxiu could explain, Qin Jingli beside him gloated and replied: "The son of a bitch is standing right in front of you."

Qin Dahai blew his beard and glared: "..."

Qin Jingxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "..."

Although Qin Jingxiu had been training in the army for many years and was physically strong, his hands would inevitably become sore after holding the round stone for a long time.

Seeing his youngest son's embarrassment, Qin Dahai made way and waved, "Take it in first."

After saying that, he followed his two sons into the living room.

After walking a few steps, he ran into Mrs. Qin leading the servants towards the gate of the courtyard. Qin Dahai realized something, turned around, walked out of the yard, and came to the small truck parked outside the gate.

The two truck drivers and the servant who had come out with Madam Qin earlier were carrying down the stones packed in a huge wooden box with sweat on their foreheads.

Wow, this stone is bigger than the one my younger son is holding, it must weigh at least 100 kilograms.

Could it be that they knew he had a pond in his backyard and sent it to him to fill it? The two drivers carried it very carefully.

Since the owner offered double the price, the only requirement was that the item be handled with care and not to get damaged in any way.

Half an hour later, seven stones of different sizes were finally moved into the Qin family.

In the bright light in the living room, the Qin family finally discovered that the name of each member of the Qin family was written on each stone.

Qin Dahai also learned from Qin Jingxiu that these stones were specially sent back by his granddaughter from a foreign country thousands of miles away as a birthday gift and a meeting gift for him.

Everyone sat on the sofa in the living room, their eyes fixed on the seven large stones placed on the ground, speechless for a moment.

Qin Dahai initially disliked the broken stone with his name on it.

Just give stones as a gift. You could at least choose a stone that is somewhat ornamental. A large, ugly lump like this one thrown on the side of the road would only affect the cityscape.

But when he learned that the stone was given by his granddaughter, he was both happy and a little aggrieved.

He is happy that his granddaughter is thinking about him, but it would be too perfunctory to treat her wrongedly.

After all, it’s his 80th birthday. Even if he’s given a piece of candy, it would make him feel sweet. But what can this stone do?

The stool hurts my butt.

Forget it, even if it’s just a piece of broken stone, it’s the gift of my granddaughter.

After Qin Dahai figured it out, a smile began to appear on his face. He went into the study, put away the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase on the high table, and asked the servant to move the stone to the high table.

The two sons of the Qin family watched the old man's actions in silence.

Qin Jingli raised his elbow and nudged his brother, "What do you mean by your daughter? You say she doesn't understand the ways of the world, hey, everyone has it, you say she understands, everyone is a big stone!

It must be expensive to ship this thousand-pound stone from abroad to China, right? Wouldn't it be nice to choose a good gift for the old man? Haha, the old man has lived for eighty years, and this is probably the first time he has received such a fresh and refined birthday gift. "

Qin Jingxiu glanced at his eldest brother who was laughing so hard, and was also full of doubts. He was puzzled. His daughter was not poor, so why did she give a few stones to everyone as a gift? ...

At this time, Tang Qi also received a reply from the professional errand runner: the goods have been delivered.

She opened WeChat and asked Qin Jingxiu, "Dad, did you receive the gifts I sent to the Qin family? There are seven in total, four of which are for you and the elders of the Qin family. I wrote your names on them. Please help me send the remaining three to the Mo family."

Qin Jingxiu smiled subconsciously after receiving his daughter's WeChat message, "Received."

Then his smile faded slightly, and he thought about how to be tactful so as not to hurt his daughter's reputation, while at the same time discouraging her from sending the remaining three stones to the Mo family.

After all, it's enough to embarrass yourself at home, there's no need to embarrass yourself outside.

Tang Qi had no idea what her father was thinking. When she saw the reply, she readily paid the remaining balance to the errand boy.

[Qiqi, where do these stones come from? ]

Seeing Qin Jingxiu's question, Tang Qi replied truthfully, "It has no history, I just picked it up when I went out."

【Is there any special meaning? 】

【It's just a little thought from me. 】

Qin Jingxiu felt a little upset when he saw the reply. How could he turn things around in front of the old man? He wrote and deleted what he wanted to say, deleted and wrote again, thought about it over and over again, and finally gave up the idea of ​​dissuading his daughter from sending stones to the Mo family.

The daughter must have taken a lot of effort to "pick up" such big and heavy stones and bring them home, and then specially send them back to China.

This is not a stone, it is clearly his daughter's heavy "thought". If they dare not like it, it means they look down on him, Qin Jingxiu!

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

[Thank you, Qiqi. Dad likes your gift very much and will treasure it. ]

Tang Qi smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I think we can ask someone to carve a Pixiu ornament out of it to ward off evil and keep you safe."

Qin Jingxiu lied against his will, "I can't bear it."

Although he was frugal and self-disciplined, he was not so frugal as to put a stone-carved Pi Xiu on the table. Besides, it was enough for him to know his daughter's "thoughts".

Tang Qi raised an eyebrow, [Okay then, next time it’s your birthday, I’ll have someone carve a Pixiu figurine for you.]

Will you give me stones next time? Qin Jingxiu pretended to be very surprised, [I am looking forward to it. ]

the next day.

Although the guest list was less than ten tables, the Qin family still prepared fifteen tables of birthday banquets.

Originally, there was a Longyuan Villa on the hillside of Longyuan Mountain that could accommodate thousands of people. When large banquets were held, people would usually go to Longyuan Villa to reserve seats.

This time, the Qin family did not plan on having a big celebration. They just set up a tent in their backyard, laid out the table, and invited a chef to come and cook.

As old friends came one after another and the living room was full of people, Qin Dahai asked the servants to set up tables and chairs in the yard for the guests to play chess, drink tea and chat, or go fishing in the backyard pond. The whole Qin residence was bustling with activity.

"Old Qin, it's boring to just sit there and drink tea. What rare treasure did you receive this time? Take it out and show it to everyone."

"That's right. We've seen it all these past few days. The cars and people delivering birthday gifts have been non-stop from morning till night. Yesterday afternoon, someone even sent over a dozen old hens for Lao Qin to raise and pick eggs to eat every day."

Qin Dahai pretended to be angry and said, "After all this talk, you just want to take advantage of the dozen old hens in my backyard!"

The other party laughed out loud, not feeling embarrassed about having his thoughts exposed. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is better than a distant relative. They have been neighbors for decades, so they are usually not polite. He simply said, "I heard that this chicken is a native chicken raised in the mountains. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I am in need of nutritious native eggs. When I hold my grandson, you don't have to give any gifts, just catch a few chickens from your backyard and bring them to me."

"You wish!"

Qin Dahai spat in annoyance, then went to the study to pick out a few ornamental birthday gifts and asked the servants to move them out.

As he turned to leave, his eyes fell on a large rock on a high table.

Humph, what's so great about having a grandson? He's a little naughty boy. How can he be as caring and cute as his granddaughter! "Move that stone out too. Be careful not to drop it."
