Zhou Luancheng could only coax Xiao Chaoyang and wait to do it for her later.

But Xiao Chaoyang held up the bowl eagerly and said, "Brother, we'll eat tomorrow."

Before Zhou Luancheng went to steal meat again the next day, he was discovered by Zhou Nanguang, who gave him a severe lesson and beat his back red with a belt.

Little Chaoyang was so scared that she cried loudly, saying that she had eaten noodles with soybean sauce.

Zhou Luancheng thought of this and turned to look at Zhou Chaoyang: "Why do you suddenly bring this up? Although my second brother's current craftsmanship is not as good as my aunt's, it is definitely much better than it was then."

Zhou Chaoyang laughed: "As long as it's made by my second brother, it's the most delicious."

When the two of them went back, no one asked them what they talked about, and Sheng Anning didn't ask Zhou Chaoyang either.

Zhou Chaoyang was even more like a normal person, having fun with his three children. When he had nothing to do, he and Sheng Anning would take the three children to the city swimming pool to learn how to swim.

The holiday passed quickly and was very happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July and Zhou Chaoyang's vacation was about to end. He was particularly reluctant to leave these two days. He stayed at home and learned to cook with Zhou Hongyun.

Zhou Hongyun looked at Zhou Chaoyang, whose nose was covered in flour and who was still trying to learn how to make dumplings. "What's wrong? You're leaving soon, so why are you thinking of learning how to cook? Is the food in the cafeteria not tasty? Do you want to cook for yourself?"

Zhou Chaoyang looked at the ugly bun in his hand and laughed: "I have wanted to learn it for a long time, but I was busy playing before. I have to leave soon. I will learn a few tricks quickly and show them to my colleagues when I go back."

Zhou Hongyun smiled and said, "You are making dumplings very nicely now. We in Chaoyang make dumplings in the same way. Look, it's your first time making dumplings, but you can make them look so good."

Zhou Chaoyang stared at the steamed bun in his hand, which he could barely close. "Aunt, are you serious when you praise me? Look at this ugly one, the stuffing is about to come out."

Zhou Hongyun nodded seriously: "Of course I am serious. Some people can't even stuff the stuffing into the dumplings when they make them for the first time. That's good. Okay, you should take a rest. We are all leaving. Why are you still working?"

"In the next two days, tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you. It's just too hot today, so you can bring some food back for your brother."

Zhou Hongyun thought about whatever came to mind, and said to himself: "If it doesn't work, bring some pickles from Beijing back to your brother. The pickles pickled in June can be eaten now. Put them in cans and they won't go bad when you bring them back."

Zhou Chaoyang didn't refuse: "Okay, as long as I can take it, I'll take more."

Sheng An Ning and Mu Xiao Wan were also discussing that once Zhou Chaoyang left, he might not be able to come back even if Zhou Luan Cheng and Mu Xiao Wan got married, so how could he have so much vacation time to come back?

Besides, it’s too far away, and it takes a lot of time to get back.

Mu Xiaowan felt very regretful: "We don't know when we will meet next time, let's go take a photo with Chaoyang."

Sheng Anning agreed: "Okay, An An and I will take a few photos, and then let Chaoyang bring them to Zhou Shixun."

Although she was reluctant to let Zhou Chaoyang leave, the faster time passed, the closer it was to the day when she would meet Zhou Shixun.

In the blink of an eye, only one year is left.

Zhou Chaoyang was also very happy when he heard about going to take photos: "Okay, I forgot about it when I came back. Let's go tomorrow. I'll buy some things while I'm there."

The next day, Sheng Anning, Zhou Chaoyang and Mu Xiaowan took their three children to take photos. They originally wanted Zhou Nanguang and Zhou Hongyun to go, but they were unwilling to go.

To use Zhou Nanguang's words, you young people should just go and take the photos. I won't join in the fun. I will wait until Luancheng and Xiaowan get married before taking the photos.

Zhou Chaoyang was unhappy: "My second brother is getting married, what if I can't come back?"

Zhou Nanguang comforted Zhou Chaoyang with a smile: "I'll come to see you then, okay?"

Zhou Chaoyang knew that his father really didn’t like taking photos, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable going out with the three of them, so he didn’t force him.

Go to Qianmen Photo Studio and ask the photographer to take pictures of them in front of the square.

What makes Sheng An Ning very happy is that there are also color photos at this time. Although they are colored later, the colors are bright and the degree of restoration is still very high.

Zhou Chaoyang took photos with Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan, as well as individual photos, and also took photos with the three children.

Sheng An Ning also took a photo with the three children and planned to have it developed and let Chaoyang take it back to Zhou Shixun.

After taking the photos, Zhou Chaoyang asked how many days it would take to pick them up.

The boss explained that if you are not in a hurry, it will take a week. If you are in a hurry, you can expedite the processing, but it will cost you several cents per print, which is still quite expensive.

Sheng An Ning hesitated, thinking that if it didn't work, she would wait until it was washed before sending it to Zhou Chaoyang.

Without waiting for her to make a decision, Zhou Chaoyang put the money on the counter very happily: "Make it an expedited order, I'll come to pick it up in three days, but it has to be washed nicely. If it's not clear, you have to return the money."

The boss smiled and said, "Girl, from your accent you are a local. How could you not know that our photo studio values ​​integrity the most? Many leaders take pictures here. Take a look at the photo wall outside."

After he counted the money on the counter, he looked at the three pretty children and had another idea. He discussed with Zhou Chaoyang, "Girl, everyone in your family is pretty. Look at these children. They are so cute. They are just like the dolls in the New Year paintings. Can I discuss something with you?"

Zhou Chaoyang didn't even wait for the boss to say anything, and shook his head readily: "No."

The boss was amused. "You are a very straightforward girl. I haven't said anything yet. I just thought that your three children are so cute, and the photos taken will definitely be good-looking. I will print an extra copy and put it in the window outside as a sample. If you agree, I don't want the money for today's photo shoot. Would you consider it?"

Sheng Anning was unwilling: "Thank you for your appreciation, we will not consider this matter."

Zhou Chaoyang rolled his eyes and said, "I think I'm pretty good-looking too. I can use my photos as samples. Would you consider taking my photos?"

Sheng An Ning and Mu Xiao Wan looked back at Zhou Chaoyang in surprise. Isn't this girl a ostentatious person?

The boss thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but it can't be completely free. Can I charge you five dollars less?"

As he said this, he took out five dollars from his hand and waited for Zhou Chaoyang's consent.

Zhou Chaoyang nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then it's settled."

He took five dollars from the boss very straightforwardly, as if he was afraid that it would be too late and the boss would go back on his word.

The boss happily issued the tickets and sent a few people out.

When the boss turned around and went back to the store, Mu Xiaowan immediately asked, "Chaoyang, do you really agree?"

Zhou Chaoyang nodded, quite happy: "Yes, I was still worried, but I didn't expect the boss to help me a lot!"
