Yan Haixia was stunned when she watched Xiaomin taking things out. In the end, she took out five kilograms of wool and ten bags of children's milk powder.

These are all good stuff, tickets are hard to come by.

She held the child in her arms and said quickly, "Xiao Min, you took too much! Why didn't you leave some for Yufang? She just got married and needs a lot of things."

Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "She has her share. This is all for you. Keep it for your use."

Yan Haixia smiled helplessly, feeling very touched in her heart. This girl was always so nice to her. She had benefited a lot from her over the years!

She stuffed the little carrot into Lian Xiaomin's arms, asked her to hold it for a while, and then she quickly went to pack her things.

The small living room at home is almost like a supply and marketing cooperative, full of all kinds of things, so scary. Look, why did they buy her a pair of brown leather shoes? They are so beautiful, but she has nowhere to wear them...

Lian Xiaomin is holding a little carrot, she is so cute. Her parents have a good “foundation”, the “photos” they developed are so beautiful, haha!

By the way, she brought an old film camera, put the little baby on the soft sofa, and started taking various photos. She took five or six photos in one go, and then let Xiaobao take over.

The two little kids were really considerate. They didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, they smiled broadly as they watched their aunt tinker with the little black box.

There is no such thing as a film camera in the space. In 2023, only enthusiasts were playing with it, and it was quite rare.

She bought her cameras at a British department store, eight at a time, and a whole box of film.

In fact, there are digital products and smart phones in the space, which can be used to secretly take photos of the children at home.

However, film cameras are also very good. The texture feels completely different and they are also convenient to use. You can take more photos with them to record history.

This time, Lian Xiaomin brought a film camera and planned to leave it secretly to Yufang so that she could take more photos of her family.

This foreign brand of camera is also sold in the Overseas Chinese Remittance Store in Shanghai, and she has seen it before.

Gave it to Yufang, and asked her to keep it carefully, preferably without being discovered, and use it secretly.

Once discovered, it's not a big deal.

This year is the 74th year. In a few years, it will be better and more open.

Yan Haixia quickly put away her things and happily tried on the beautiful green floral dress.

Although she has given birth to two children, her figure is still slim and graceful.

When Lian Xiaomin saw it, she was so amazed that she asked her to stand by the window with a white arm resting on the windowsill.

"Click~" the shutter flashed, and several photos were taken from various angles, half body and full body.

Yan Haixia is from Shanghai. She had seen this camera before. She smiled as she watched Xiaomin take pictures of her. She looked so beautiful too, and both of them were very happy.

Finally, Yan Haixia was asked to sit on the sofa and hold the two babies to take a mother-and-child photo, having a lot of fun.

Lian Xiaomin had taken enough photos and put away her camera, having just finished taking a roll of photos.

"Haixia, I'll give you the photos after I develop them!"

The space is equipped with photo developing equipment and plenty of photo paper.

Yan Haixia washed a small bowl of fruit for her, including apples and pears.

The two of them started chatting casually, and Yan Haixia still had the key to the yard on Xinyu Street in her hand.

When Lian Xiaomin left last time, she went through the formalities to register the two courtyards in the county town under Yan Haixia's name, asking her to help take care of them.

"I'll leave the key with you. I'm a 'missing person'. We'll talk about it later."

Yan Haixia is loyal to her enough and is still in the county town, so she can rest assured in her care.

"Okay, I haven't been to Hongdou Hutong. You said you had friends who would live there."

"I'll go clean Xinyu Street from time to time and maintain it. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Lian Xiaomin nodded: "By the way, tonight, your family, why don't you go to Hongdou Hutong for dinner? Yufang's family, Xie Ling's family should also go, let's get together!"

Yan Haixia agreed. It was already noon, so let her stay here to eat.

Lian Xiaomin didn't stay because the two little ones couldn't be left alone for a moment, so don't bother them to cook another meal. Besides, Zhang Yuan was at home.

After saying hello and promising to meet again in the evening, she put on a straw hat and mask and left.

She rode her bike back and arrived home at half past one.

Pushing the bicycle into the alley, he suddenly had an idea and took out a cloth bag in his hand. He put four lunch boxes in it and hung it on the handlebars.

There was another sack on the back seat of the car, filled with some vegetables, fruits, and some meat, all fresh, because they had to be cooked in the evening.

Use the key to unlock the gate and push the cart in.

Zhang Yuan's door was open, but he didn't dare to make a sound and just stayed quietly in the room.

There was nothing to do, so I saw two old newspapers and read them carefully.

Seeing the eldest brother coming back, he got off the kang, hurried out, took the two bags in his hands and took them into the house.

Lian Xiaomin carried a sack of things to the stove, took out two large watermelons, and put one on the ground for everyone to eat together in the evening.

Now cut one first, she and Zhang Yuan each take half.

Zhang Yuan took out all four lunch boxes and placed them on the table. Turning around, he saw the eldest brother holding two big watermelons. They were so round!

"They're so heavy, and you still picked two! Each one must weigh 16 or 17 pounds, right? They're really good melons."

Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "I have friends coming tonight, so I'll stay for one night."

I thought to myself, this mine watermelon is really old! She planted it in space in 1969!

Later, I gave them all to Qian Ye and his friends to sell, and there were only more than a hundred left in the space, which I kept to eat slowly.

There are not many left now, there are still more than twenty big watermelons.

After eating, plant again.

There were two dishes in the lunch box, sweet and sour pork and shredded pork with fish flavor, and two boxes of rice.

The two began to eat, and while eating, Lian Xiaomin talked about cooking to entertain friends in the evening.

Zhang Yuan chewed the sweet and sour pork and smiled unkindly: "Boss, what are your cooking skills? Don't you know anything about it?... You are not as good as me, why don't you let me do it!"

At the Repulse Bay home, there is a special chef, Fu Wenbo, who cooks, and his apprentice, Ah Heng, who is hired specially by Lawrence Lu at a high salary. Everything he cooks is delicious.

Lawrence Lu would occasionally cook, but Lian Xiaomin basically never cooked.

Zhang Yuan had the chance to taste it only twice, and then... nothing happened.

When Lian Xiaomin heard that he wanted to cook dinner for her, all the clouds of worry that had been floating in her heart were blown away in an instant!

"Good brother! It all depends on you!"

Zhang Yuan pouted and laughed, the expression on his face meant: What else?
