July 14th, sunny

After breakfast, Li Chu and the other three put on their military uniforms.

Because of her big belly, Wang Yueyue couldn't wear her own pretty clothes. Lately, she had been wearing the trousers from Ding Qiunan's old military uniform, and the shirt was Li Wenxuan's, slightly altered in length. Otherwise, she would have been wearing a dress.

After everyone was ready, Li Chu didn't go to find his brother-in-law. Instead, he taught Liu Dazhuang how to take the photos and asked him to help.

"Dazhuang, are you ready? Let me know when you are, I'm going to pick up Wenhui and Wenxuan."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

"Dad, is it okay? My brother and I together are quite heavy."

"That's right, Dad, don't overwork yourself."

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be able to carry you both in twenty years."

"Dad Chu, why don't we all stand up and take the picture?"

Wang Yueyue was actually jealous that she couldn't be hugged; she even pouted when she said this.

Ding Qiunan helped her pull her shirt up a bit and said with a smile, "It's okay, let your dad carry them both, and Mom will carry you."

Really?

"How could this be fake?"

"But, Qiu Nan's mom, I weigh 100 pounds now."

"Oh dear, I might not be able to carry Wenxuan, but carrying you is no problem."

"Alright!"

Sure enough, the girl was still a child, and she immediately beamed with joy.

Wenxuan felt he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and was even more worried about his unborn child. How could he possibly take good care of the child?

"Director, everything is ready."

"Okay, come on, let's all stand still. Qiu Nan, be careful if you're going to hug Yueyue. Wen Xuan and Wen Hui, you two come here."

The moment her father picked her up, Li Wenhui felt incredibly safe. Just like when she was a child, she sat steadily in her father's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and smiled happily.

When Wenxuan was first picked up, he was a little worried that his father would get tired, but when he realized that the arm holding him was not trembling at all, it was as if he had returned to this day twenty years ago.

The only difference is that the day he was lying on a strong back, but today he is sitting in a stable embrace.

Wang Yueyue was picked up by her mother-in-law and laughed heartily, which attracted the attention of Li Chu and the others. Liu Dazhuang, who was good at taking pictures, quickly pressed the shutter. The photo hasn't been developed yet, so it's unknown how well it turned out.

After Ding Qiunan patted her bottom twice, Wang Yueyue quickly calmed down, and the family of five finally completed this family photo.

Oh, no, there are six mouths, one is still inside the belly.

"This brat, she's gotten so heavy now, she keeps moving even when I'm holding her."

After taking the photo, Ding Qiunan hurriedly put her daughter-in-law on the ground and shook her arms.

"Qiu Nan's mom, there are two of them."

Wang Yueyue held up two fingers, somewhat dissatisfied, to emphasize this.

Li Chu put Wenhui and Wenxuan down on the ground and let out a soft breath. Time waits for no one; he felt tired after only holding them for a minute or two.

"Dad, are you alright?" Li Wenhui reached out and massaged her father's arm.

"I'm really getting old. If I hold you any longer, I probably won't be able to keep going."

"Dad, you're not old at all. You don't have a single gray hair on your head, and there aren't any wrinkles on your face."

"Haha, it's a personal health issue, but it's true that my physical functions have declined."

"Who told you to show off? Are you alright?" Ding Qiunan came over and rubbed her husband's shoulders with some concern.

"It's really nothing, don't worry. I can easily carry them both within ten years." Li Chu smiled and patted his wife's hand on her shoulder, then turned to his son and said, "Wenxuan, take a look at the camera. I think there's only one or two left. Take it to the photo studio. Also, buy a few more rolls of film; your sister will definitely need a lot for her wedding."

"Okay, Dad."

"Wenhui, has Xiaoyi finished all the paperwork?"

"It's all done. I've been working for two days now. I told my mom yesterday that we're going out for a walk together later."

Li Wenhui pointed to her younger brother and sister-in-law.

"Okay, I got it. Go out and keep a close eye on Yueyue, that girl is too wild."

"Daddy Chu, I didn't do that! I'm being very good right now, okay?" Wang Yueyue immediately became dissatisfied, showing her two little tiger teeth as she spoke.

"Yes, you are indeed very well-behaved. Even now, you still walk with a bouncy gait."

"Uh...we were just taking pictures, I got a little too excited." She herself felt that her words carried no weight, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"Alright, just remember that you're carrying a baby." Li Chu waved his hand and sat down on a stone bench.

"Go and change your clothes." Ding Qiunan came out after changing her clothes inside the house.

"I'm going out later too. You'll be alone at noon, so figure out your own lunch."

"Oh? You're going out too?"

"Yes, I made plans with Xiao'e last night to go out for a walk today."

“Hey…” Li Chu looked at the three children who were about to go back to their respective rooms, and then glanced at his wife who had already changed her clothes and was about to leave.

So, I'll be all alone at home this weekend?

"Hmm, stop rubbing against me, I know there are still a few of you." He reached out and pushed away the dogs that were rubbing their heads against his legs.

"Stop nagging and hurry up and clear out the storage room for me. Haven't all the boxes been delivered?"

Ding Qiunan, who was soaking clothes by the pool, said.

"Oh right, there are a few I need to have identified." Li Chu then remembered that he also had things to do today.

Of the things he received from Guo Xiangyang, there were four or five items that he simply couldn't stand.

There were three of them that he simply couldn't believe he had such good luck.

One is a large, open-mouthed bowl that is suspected to be from the Yuan Dynasty; another is a jar with animal-shaped handles that is suspected to be from the Yuan Dynasty; and the last is a plum vase with a lid.

The main problem was that these three items looked quite new, and he really couldn't believe they were real.

However, if it really is genuine, haha, it could easily fetch over ten million in twenty years.

Shaking his head to stop overthinking, he stood up and said, "Alright, you all go out and wander around. I'll stay home and tidy up that pile of treasures."

As he walked into the storage room, he looked at the bottles and jars on the wooden shelves and on the floor, and a smile appeared on his lips.

While I wouldn't say I particularly love these things, with so many nice things in the house, I'm sure no one would complain.

What puzzled him most was where Guo Xiangyang's family hid these things and how they were preserved so well.

This isn't just one or two pieces, but a whole bunch, and they're all porcelain; they could easily break if you're not careful.

I wonder if he has any left.

However, upon thinking of that guy's current miserable state, Li Chu shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.
