Once inside, she took out all the film she had shot over the past two days.

Besides some photos of her and Zhuang Mingcheng, there were more than fifty photos of soldiers to be developed. The shop assistants were also surprised, as it was the first time they had ever seen someone develop so many photos.

"Comrade, you're from the military, right?"

"Yes, most of these photos are pictures of soldiers performing meritorious service. Please develop them quickly."

"A photo of meritorious service?"

The sales clerk was taken aback, then became serious. "Don't worry, sir, we'll rinse it for you right away and try to get it out as quickly as possible."

"Thank you for your help."

Lu Fangfang thanked them profusely, then bought a few more rolls of film and paid for them.

Washing so many photos at once really stung her wallet. It seems she'll have to learn how to develop photos herself in the future; that might save her a lot of money.

After leaving the photo studio, the group went to the state-run restaurant next door and had a meal there.

The two were rewarded with fifty catties of grain coupons for their meritorious service, which made them much better off and they took the opportunity to try some local specialties.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three drove their jeep to the front of a two-story department store in the city.

To avoid frightening others, Lu Fangfang took out a rope from her pocket, preparing to tie it around the necks of the two little ones.

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, once we're inside, don't bark. If you see something you like, just nudge me and I'll buy it for you."

"You two will receive a total of twelve yuan in allowance this month, which should be enough for you."

The driver, Liu Zhijun, sat in the front and listened curiously.

He was a little puzzled. His sister-in-law was talking to him like a child. Could they understand her?

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox called out and got out of the car out of curiosity.

As soon as the two little ones came out, they attracted the attention of everyone in front of the department store.

"Wow, what's this? It looks like a dog and a cat at the same time?"

"That yellow one looks like a dog, and that white-gray one with black spots looks like a leopard to me?"

"A leopard? It didn't escape from the zoo, did it?"

As everyone was discussing this, two people in military uniforms and a woman got out of the jeep.

The crowd immediately stopped being afraid and gathered around to look at it curiously.
