Walking along the road, Shen Jiaojiao asked, "Xiaoxi, what are we doing now?"

"Let's go to the photo studio and take some pictures first. If you don't take a few pictures when you're young, you won't even remember what you look like when you're old," Wen Xi said, touching her cheek as she spoke.

The three of them walked towards the photo studio. Thinking of Qin Mi, Shen Jiaojiao sighed, "I never expected to run into Qin Mi here, and I never expected him to be so tall and handsome."

"Are you familiar with this Qin Mi?" Jiang Yue asked curiously.

Wen Xi shook her head, "My eldest sister was just born when he left, and my second brother wasn't born yet, so I, the third child, wasn't born. I've never even met him, how could I possibly be familiar with him? It's just that my parents know him!"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, we've never met him, we've only heard his name. We don't even know how old he was when he left."

They arrived at the photo studio quickly, where a middle-aged man in gray overalls greeted them. "Are you three ladies here to have your photos taken?"

Wenxi nodded. "Let's take a group photo, and then individual photos. We'll print three copies of each photo."

"Twelve photos, twenty-four yuan, you can pick them up in three days." Wenxi paid and the uncle gave her a receipt.

Thinking back to her past life in the 1980s, when photo studios offered many nice clothes for people to change into and even did hair styling, Wenxi asked curiously, "Are there clothes here to change into?"

The uncle nodded, "We have green imitation military uniforms and skirts, come and take a look."

Green imitation military uniforms are the most popular clothes among young people these days, and many people even wear them to their weddings. So the three of them also wore green clothes and took a group photo first. In the individual photos that followed, Wenxi wore a white polyester shirt and a green ankle-length skirt.

To make the photos look better, Wenxi also gave all three of them a simple hair braid before taking the beautiful pictures.

It was only shortly after lunch, and there was still a whole afternoon to go, so the three of them went to the movie theater. Wenxi told Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to go inside and find seats first, while she went to buy sunflower seeds and soda.

Wenxi found a corner outside the movie theater, took out a pound of sunflower seeds from the system warehouse, and then took out three ice cream bars. She had wanted to let them try them when she was fighting the Double Guns, but she didn't have a chance to take them out. Today she could take them out and let them eat them.

Upon arriving at the dimly lit movie theater, Wen Xi handed ice cream to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. The two were quite surprised when they touched the icy cold treat, only to discover how delicious it was once they tasted it.

While Wenxi and her friends were watching a movie in the county town, Lu Xiaoyunze from the brigade brought home an old hen and handed it to Liang Zhaodi. "I just traded an old hen with someone in the village. You can cook it tonight. I'll invite Minglei and Tian Xiaoke over for dinner."

Liang Zhaodi thought that Lu Xiaoyun had replaced the old hen for her, and was overjoyed. She hurriedly put her daughter on the bed, then took the old hen from Lu Xiaoyun's hand, and then went to deal with the old hen.

Although Lu Xiaoyun treated her badly after they married, she had still managed to marry him after defeating Nie Xiulan and Wen Xi.

She believed that when Lu Xiaoyun was able to return to the city, he would definitely bring her and her daughter home to live a good life.

However, a family like Lu Xiaoyun's probably wouldn't like her daughter, so she still needs to work hard to give Lu Xiaoyun a son.

Now that she has finished her postpartum confinement and her body has almost recovered, it's time to put having a son on the agenda.

Lu Xiaoyun arrived at the boys' dormitory at the educated youth settlement and saw Xia Minglei lying on his side on the large communal bed. He reached out and nudged Xia Minglei's shoulder, saying, "Today I traded an old hen with a family in the village. I'll bring Tian Xiaoke to my house for a treat tonight."

Xia Minglei nodded. "Understood, we'll be there tonight."

If there's an old hen, why not go and eat it?

He used to hang out with Lu Xiaoyun a lot, so it's only right that Lu Xiaoyun treats him to good food now, since Lu Xiaoyun will still be following him in the future.

Lu Xiaoyun was afraid that Xia Minglei wouldn't take Tian Xiaoke with him, so he went to the girls' dormitory and called Tian Xiaoke out. He whispered to her, "Tian Xiaoke, Xia Minglei is coming to our house for dinner tonight. You are his fiancée, so you should come and have dinner with him."

Tian Xiaoke smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Okay, then I'll trouble you and Zhao Di tonight."

Lu Xiaoyun smiled and nodded. After leaving the educated youth settlement, he went to a family in the village who knew how to brew wine. Taking advantage of his daughter's full moon celebration, he bought a few kilograms of grain wine to celebrate properly that evening.

More than an hour later, the movie ended. Wenxi and the other two came out of the cinema and did not linger in the county town. They each carried a basket on their backs and walked to the roadside to wait for the bus.

When the bus arrived, we boarded and leisurely made our way back to town.

After getting off the bus, the three of them walked along the country road in the beautiful sunset. It seemed like they hadn't done anything today, but it was an incredibly pleasant and relaxing day.

In the evening, Lu Xiaoyun, Liang Zhaodi, Xia Minglei, and Tian Xiaoke sat down for dinner together.

Although Lu Xiaoyun and Liang Zhaodi weren't holding a full-month celebration, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to come to dinner without bringing anything since the baby was a month old. So Tian Xiaoke gave Liang Zhaodi a bottle of face cream, while Xia Minglei simply gave her a one-yuan red envelope. As a grown man, he really didn't know what gift to give the little one!

Lu Xiaoyun poured four bowls of wine and said with a smile, "We won't have a full moon celebration for the baby. We'll just have a nice meal together. I don't want anyone else to take advantage of us!"

Today, the old hen was used to make two dishes: mushroom chicken soup and potato stewed chicken, as well as braised fish.

There were also four vegetarian dishes; Lu Xiaoyun was quite generous today.

Tian Xiaoke looked at the wine in the bowl, feeling somewhat troubled. She had never drunk alcohol before; what if she got drunk later?

Then she thought that with Xia Minglei by her side, even if she got really drunk, Xia Minglei would definitely not abandon her.

The four of them then ate and drank merrily for more than half an hour. The food on the table was gone, and everyone was quite drunk. However, Lu Xiaoyun did not drink much, after all, the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Lu Xiaoyun stood up, helped Tian Xiaoke up, and said softly, "Tian Xiaoke, let me take you back to your dormitory!"

Tian Xiaoke was already quite drunk. She thought the person who helped her was Xia Minglei, so she leaned into his arms. Feeling his hot breath, Tian Xiaoke reached out and hugged Lu Xiaoyun's waist, then looked up and kissed him. "Brother Minglei, shall we go back later?"
