Chapter 397. Visiting relatives
This photo will become a very precious photo of the later generations of Zhou Family.
It recorded the feelings of their grandparents when they were young, especially the way their grandfather looked at their grandmother. It was almost enough to squeeze out three kilos of honey.
Let's talk about the current moment.
After getting the camera, his hobby had shifted from football and basketball to this.
As long as it was a day off and didn't need to work, he would take his camera with him and then wander around to take pictures.
The brat spent a lot of money on the film.
Still, Lin Qing He left him be. As long as he didn't develop a prodigal temper, she would leave the rest of his hobbies up to him.
"After 20 years, these photos of mine will definitely the most precious." Zhou Gui Lai said triumphantly. He just went to develop the photos and came back.
"Hurry up, go to your Er Ni's shop and help!" Lin Qing He took the cloth pocket where he put the photo and dismissed.
"I'll finish the chicken soup first." Zhou Gui Lai went to scoop the chicken soup to drink.
While drinking chicken soup, his parents looked at the photos together.
"Why take pictures of everything." Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his son and said.
He took photos of those old houses, old people, and children. Also, those dilapidated stoves. Among them was a picture of a middle-aged woman burning a coal stove at the door and looking over with grinning white teeth.
Basically, they were strangers.
"I took it with their permission." Zhou Gui Lai said.
Lin Qing He saw it and found it very good. They were all representative of this age. She pointed out recommended places: "You can go to your god-grandfather's courtyard for a stroll. Both Bei University and Hua University too."
Although it wasn't cheap to buy film, these photos were like passing the village and there will be no stop. Take more photos and then make a few old photo albums to keep. It wasn't a bad idea to occasionally flip through them.
"Hee, Mom, you really know me. Grandpa and I have made an appointment. This National Day holiday, we will go." Zhou Gui Lai grinned.
National Day was the day after tomorrow. Lin Qing He also gets holiday, even when it only lasts for three days.
Lin Qing He ordered: "Then free up one day for me, your grandmother and your aunt."
"Alright. What are you going to do?" Zhou Gui Lai said. He was responsible for carrying things. He was used to it.
"I plan to find your grandmother and your aunt to climb the Great Wall. At that time, you will carry water and take pictures of us." Lin Qinghe responded.
Zhou Gui Lai expressed that he was already with it.
Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife. Lin Qing He smiled and patted his face that became more attractive as he grew older: "You're not free, so you can't go."
Her Qing Bai's dumpling shop was basically open for the whole year except for a few days during the New Year.
For the time being, it'll be like this. When the road network gets better, they can go everywhere. Then she will take one or two vacations a year. Her Qing Bai will also take two vacations. When she comes back to work, he will reopen the door to find something to do to pass the time.
Their future plan was that capricious!

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Lin Qing He and Zhou Xiao Mei took Mother Zhou to climb the Great Wall. The children were left to Father Zhou.
Father Zhou had been to the Great Wall. He went there seven or eight times now. He was especially obsessed at the beginning.
While Mother Zhou, she came here once. That's why she came again.
And was still very overjoyed.
Zhou Xiao Mei took a rare day off. She left the children behind to come out and play on her own, so naturally, she was delighted too.
As for the boy, Zhou Gui Lai, he diligently accompanied these three without complaint throughout the whole process. Altogether, he took more than a dozen photos.
This made his grandmother, Mother Zhou ecstatic.
Mother Zhou', who had been happy for a day, was in a bad mood when she came home. Xu Sheng Mei brought Zhao Jun over.
"You came." But in the end, looking upon the fact that her eldest daughter's begging before she went back, Mother Zhou didn't kick them out. Still, her attitude didn't display much eagerness.
"Grandma, I'm not feeling well these days, otherwise I would have been here earlier. We have already dropped by Uncle's place." Xu Sheng Mei said with a smile as if she hadn't noticed her grandma's expression.
Zhao Jun had gone to Zhou Qing Bai's place and didn't receive an enthusiastic welcome. When he came here, Father Zhou watched TV with an indifferent expression. It can be said that he clung onto a cold butt for a whole day today. Same story with Mother Zhou now. His tolerance was reaching its end.
"Sit down with your grandma and the others. I'll go see my grandaunt." Zhao Jun said, got up, and went to the next door to look for old Madam Hu.
From the beginning, Mother Zhou's expression wasn't good, but now it was worse. she glared at Xu Shengmei, but she didn't give her face and said, "What kind of attitude is he? What kind of attitude? We have to confess his old bones to him!"
Xu Sheng Mei actually wanted to yell at Zhao Jun. Why couldn't he bear it for a bit? It wasn't a big deal anyway. Bear it and they can retain these relatives. If anything happens in the future, they can help out. She didn't expect him to have so littel tolerance!
"Grandma, Zhao Jun didn't mean it. He was just with my uncle's. My uncle didn't pay much attention to us." Xu Sheng Mei explained.
"Your uncle is occupied with his business, so naturally he doesn't have time to talk to you. Didn't I tell you, just get married and live your life!" Mother Zhou replied in an unpleasant tone.
"Grandma, I know I'm wrong. I was bad. But now the marriage is settled, then this matter is considered over. Don't be angry with me." Xu Sheng Mei urged with red eyes.
"Hurry up and put away those few tears. In my opinion, he's not a good apple!" Mother Zhou really didn't have a good impression of Zhao Jun, especially having such a personality.
It wasn't just Mother Zhou criticizing Zhao Jun, next door's old Madam Hu too.
"Why did you come here? I just saw Sheng Mei's grandma come back." old Madam Hu said.
"They don't welcome me, so what am I going for? Come all the way over, they just pour a glass of water and let us sit there!" Zhao Jun rolled his eyes in anger and responded.
He really regretted his death now. He actually married Xu Sheng Mei. She was indeed young and obedient, but what's the use?
She came from the poor countryside. Her family was all small-minded.
He thought that this uncle would be different. He heard that he owned a good few shops and the business was very good. Her aunt was a foreign language teacher at Bei University and can communicate with foreigners without hindrance.
So he didn't mind going over for a visit. It was considered a connection to some extent, but who would have ever thought, he was sitting down on the cold bench to the end.
"Even if you just sit there, you have to sit to the end!" Old Madam Hu stated, looking at her grand-nephew, she said again: "And you didn't come at the right time today. They just came back from the Great Wall."
"From what I see, they don't want to be my relative at all!" Zhao Jun uttered in displeasure. It was almost the truth.
Old Zhou family really didn't desire him.
"What don't want? Now the marriage is settled, be more sensible. Her uncle (Qing Bai)'s whole family is capable. Her aunt (Xiao Mei)'s family isn't bad either. They can help you in any business you want to do in the future." Old Madam Hu pushed him over and said.

Fish that mood destroyer. Was just enjoying happy family outing, but ruined by this two evil doers. Read the mood la...
ReplyDeleteAnyway thanks for the chapter.
"They can help you in any business you want to do in the future"
ReplyDeleteDream on, youngman.
You rather dreaming money falls down from the sky rather than LQH and ZXM lend you even for a penny
DeleteI got the impression that the Zhao can help him to gather a start up capital for business. The author talked about them like they're part of middle -to-upper class families in capital. So, I think Old Madam Hu wanted more of LQH/ZQB's guidance and introduction to business world than the money. 🤔
DeleteNah, LQH family won't ever help you two
ReplyDeleteOld Madam Ho really is thick face to think LQH will allow her family to help them
ReplyDeleteЧжао Цзюнь полностью заслужил такую жену с бедными деревенскими родственниками. Сколько девушек он соблазнил и бросил? В те времена обманутым девушкам пришлось нелегко.
