At noon the next day, the rooftop apron of the logistics base at the east end of 78th Street.
The Airbus H155 roared from the northern sky and landed steadily on the rooftop apron.
After a gust of wind swept through, the H155's propeller speed began to decrease rapidly, and the deafening roar of the engine gradually became smaller.
When the helicopter engine turned off and the propeller stopped rotating 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 Lao Zhangzhi and his family walked out, carrying two boxes!
Due to the heavy snowfall yesterday and the time of Christmas, the road conditions around New York are generally very bad, and 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 Laozhangzangzi and his family, instead of asking them to drive to New York, which would most likely get stuck on the road.
So, they can arrive in New York at this time, otherwise it is uncertain when!
Within a few steps, the two parties met on the roof of the building!
"Good afternoon, Matthew and Evelyn, Merry Christmas, and welcome to New York. I hope you enjoy your trip to New York and have a happy Christmas!"
Ye Tian stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time took the suitcase from Matthew's hand.
Then he said hello to Logan behind him.
"Good afternoon, Steven, and I wish you a Merry Christmas. This helicopter is great. It's like a luxury business class cabin. It's very comfortable! It's ten thousand times better than driving!"
Matthew said hello first, and then said with admiration, obviously very satisfied with this air trip.
Evelin and Logan were also in awe of the helicopter behind them.
Of course it is worthy of admiration. This is a top-notch business helicopter worth 10 million US dollars. How can it be compared to your Buick Boulevard!
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian led everyone towards the anti-theft iron door in front, preparing to go downstairs and go home.
After leaving the logistics base, they did not go home immediately, but went to a nearby restaurant to eat.
By the time they returned to their apartment on 110th Street after lunch, 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 of the people didn't go there and all stayed at home. Betty and Evelin started preparing for the Christmas dinner in the evening and were very busy!
Of course, Evelin is mainly in charge of cooking, and Betty is responsible for helping!
Ye Tianze took Matthew to visit his new collections, and explained to the old man the origin and value of these antique artworks.
Now Matthew has become a collector and is very interested in all antiques and art!
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was night.
Christmas Eve is here.
The lights on the Christmas tree in front of the fireplace are all lit up, and they are colorful and very beautiful; beautiful Christmas decorations can be seen everywhere inside and outside the apartment, which is full of strong Christmas atmosphere.
Around seven o'clock, a sumptuous Christmas dinner was put on the table.
Just 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-quality 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, the Christmas dinner has officially begun, and everyone is sitting around the dining table.
As usual, there is prayer before meals.
Originally, the male protagonist Ye Tian was supposed to recite the prayers, but he was not a Christian, so Matthew had to take the lead.
After the prayers, everyone immediately began to enjoy delicious food and wine, and spent this wonderful day in laughter and laughter.
After the dinner was over and everything was cleaned up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Everyone returned to the living room, chatting and watching NBC's live broadcast.
The live broadcast at this time is the Christmas celebration held in Rockefeller Center Plaza, which is very exciting!
At 10:30, the live TV broadcast ends and it’s time to exchange gifts.
Since there are no children in the family yet, there is no need to stuff the gifts into socks, write names, and then wait until Christmas morning to open them! All gifts can be given and opened in person!
The first person to take out the gift was naturally the host Ye Tian.
He stood 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 Evelin respectively.
"Matthew, this is a small sculpture, shaped like a man standing and thinking. Of course, this is not the thinker of Rodin, but the work of the modern sculptor Antoine Gormoire.
Anthony Gomure is one of the most famous sculptors today, especially famous for human sculptures. Most of his works are in the same proportion as the real human body. Small sculptures are very rare and have great collection value.
I accidentally discovered this sculpture at the Chelsea Antique Market in Manhattan. I thought it was good so I bought it. I am taking this opportunity to give it to you as a Christmas gift. I hope you like it! "
Hearing these words, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Matthew's face.
"Anthony Gomulet is the famous British sculptor, right? 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 people talking about it!
His sculptures seem to be valuable? Each piece is said to cost over a million dollars. Is this Christmas gift too expensive? I can't accept this gift! You'd better take it back! "
As he said that, he pushed back the box containing the gift. His movements were quite firm, but his eyes were full of reluctance.
This is the work of a top contemporary artist! No one would be willing to change it? Even saying this rejection requires a lot of determination!
Million-dollar sculptures! And it’s a Christmas present for Matthew!
Evelin and Logan were both stunned by the price of this sculpture, and also shocked by Ye Tian's generosity. This is too generous!
Betty acted very calmly. She was used to this kind of thing and had long been used to it!
What is this! What happened at the Plaza Hotel last night was much more shocking than this!
"Yes, that's him. Currently, there is only one famous sculptor named Anthony Gomure. His sculptures are indeed valuable and very popular in the art collection market!
But that's for others. For me, I only paid $300 for this sculpture! It’s not worth mentioning at all, so just accept it without thinking too much!
This sculpture does not have the signature of Anthony Gomure. If you are not very knowledgeable or familiar with him, you will not recognize this sculpture. You can safely keep it at home! "
After Ye Tiangang finished speaking, Betty immediately echoed:
"Dad, Steven is right, just think of it as a $300 Christmas gift, don't think too much about it, just accept it"
Matthew was not too pretentious. He pondered for a moment before nodding and accepting this valuable Christmas gift.
Then he immediately began to unpack the gift and said excitedly:
"Let me appreciate the works of this modern sculpture master! But to be honest, if you ask me to treat a million-dollar sculpture as an ordinary item worth $300, I'm afraid I can't do it!"
"Hahaha"
Everyone at the scene laughed.
Evelin and Logan both nodded in sympathy. It was the same for most people, and it was impossible to ignore such a huge price gap!
Ye Tian and Betty were also laughing softly, both very relaxed.
