Chen Qing patted Mu Luge on the shoulder: "You've just arrived here. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask the organization."

Muluge nodded emphatically.

She had already felt the warmth of the garment factory.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "In the new year, I hope you can continue to work hard and achieve even greater success. I also wish you a happy new year."

"I wish the factory director all the best next year," Mu Luge said, then waited excitedly for the photo to be taken.

After Chen Qing finished awarding all the prizes, all the employees looked up at the people on the stage, watching them stand beside the leaders, take group photos, and have them hung on the garment factory's honor wall, filled with envy.

Chen Qing sat properly in the center, smiling brightly at the camera.

Everyone held various prizes in their hands, and they were all smiles, still full of anticipation and hope for the new year.

The old year ends amidst the sound of firecrackers.

1980.

It arrived amidst the long-awaited sound of firecrackers.

He Yuan hadn't celebrated the Spring Festival in a long time, and he felt that the Spring Festival was really good, and the days of family reunion were all very good.

All the children in the house were asleep, so only Chen Qing and He Yuan stayed up to welcome the New Year.

The two fiddled with Pingping's new camera, taking intimate photos.

Hold hands, hug, kiss—do it all.

He Yuan blushed.

But they did not resist.

Um……

They were quite cooperative.

He mainly felt that it was good to keep these photos as souvenirs, and it was definitely not because of anything exciting!

But he didn't dare let others see the contents of these intimate photos, and planned to develop them himself.

Chen Qing saw how embarrassed he was and didn't understand why he was embarrassed, since the most intimate thing they did was kiss.

"Pingping looked for the camera as soon as she woke up in the morning."

"Then I'll get up earlier than her."

He needs to find the materials.

It won't be that quick to process.

So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Yuan sneaked off to get the photos developed.

By the time he got home, it was already ten o'clock.

Youyou said angrily, "Dad, we want to go to the zoo!"

He Yuan apologized guiltily, "Sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll be there in a bit."

Pingping asked her dad for the camera, only to be horrified to discover that he had used up a whole roll of film!

"Dad, what did you take thirty-six pictures of?"

"landscape."

"Liar!"

Pingping doesn't believe her father.

But she had no choice but to reload the film.

He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and took the intimate photos of the two back to his room, where Chen Qing wanted to admire them.

Looking at the intimate photos of the two people in the color photos, she took one out and put it in her wallet.

The pose in the photo is her and He Yuan with their faces close together.

Chen Qingxiao: "Young couples take pictures like this."

He Yuan hid the photos and pulled her out the door, saying, "We're already an old married couple."

"Then why are you still filming!"

Chen Qing remained silent.

He Yuan said smugly, "We're husband and wife, even closer than young lovers."

Chen Qing was unsure how to react.

He Yuan smiled, cupped her face, and kissed her: "Happy New Year, let's go have some fun."

Chen Qing drove to the zoo this time because she was more familiar with the route.

He Yuxiang asked, "At what age can I drive?"

Chen Qing: "Eighteen years old."

He Yuxiang figured it wouldn't be two years, so he stopped worrying about it.

He Yuan asked if anything had changed at the zoo.

He Yuxiang: "There are more people."

Chen Qing couldn't stop laughing.

Pingping: "My brother loves to talk nonsense."

He Yuxiang pinched her cheek directly.

Pingping: "I will actively resist evil forces!"

He Yuxiang rubbed it hard.

Pingping sought help.

Youyou and Xiaoyu were snuggled together, munching on sweet potato chips and shrimp chips while engrossed in reading the latest comic book. They were completely absorbed in their reading and had no intention of saving Pingping at all.

Pingping thought that those who know when to yield are wise: "I will never mention my brother again."

He Yuxiang snorted coldly, let go of her hand, and stuffed the red envelope she had shown back into his pocket: "It's all packed away. There are thieves outside, so it won't get stolen."

Upon hearing this, Youyou and Xiaoyu quickly squeezed the red envelopes deeper into their pockets.

Pingping was so angry with them that she grabbed their shrimp chips and stuffed them into her mouth, bulging her cheeks. Then she felt stupid and looked out the window without saying a word.

He Yuxiang was pleased, but seeing that her hair was a little messy from the wind, he tidied it up for her.

When the family arrived at the zoo, it was already packed with people. Xiao Yu carried Youyou, He Yuxiang carried Pingping, and Chen Qing and He Yuan were left to their own devices.

Youyou's face was flushed: "Sister, won't it be tiring for you to carry me?"

"I'm not tired, I'm super strong!"

Xiaoyu wanted to show off her biceps.

She is definitely the strongest person in the whole family!

Youyou looked at him with admiration: "Big sister is so amazing."

Xiao Yu said proudly, "Of course! I'm an athlete, so you should eat more too. Don't listen to what others say; we're at the age where we're growing."

Youyou: "Mmm-hmm!"

Nodding his head repeatedly.

Their eyes were sparkling.

Sister Xiaoyu is indeed the best person in the whole family.

She's too kind.

She didn't dislike him at all.

"Sister, look, a lion!"

"Awooo—"

"That's not how lions roar, lions bellow—"

Youyou took a deep breath and shouted, but all the family's eyes were focused on him, and they burst out laughing.

Xiaoyu also said "goose goose goose".

The two optimists had a wonderful time.

He Yuxiang saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns and bought four skewers.

Aunt, Xiaoyu, Pingping, Youyou.

Each of the four people has a string of skewers.

Chen Qing hadn't had candied hawthorns in a long time. After taking a bite, she found them sweet and sour and offered one to He Yuan: "Want one?"

He Yuan refused, saying, "You eat it."

He doesn't really like eating food other than regular meals.

Chen Qing then continued eating.

The benefit of reform and opening up is that there are more new things.

Along the way, they bought candied hawthorns, peanuts, and melon seeds. Chen Qing felt like her mouth never stopped moving, especially since He Yuan packed up all the junk food she ate, so she could eat with ease.

Compared to their mother's joy, Pingping and Youyou struggled to eat, not even finishing their candied hawthorns. It's likely that the person skewering the hawthorns was too strong, and the hawthorns were just skewered in with a whoosh, completely disregarding how difficult it was for the customers to eat.

"elephant!"

Xiaoyu led Youyou and squeezed in.

The two of them waved to the elephant with smiles on their faces.

The elephant swung its trunk and landed right in front of them, and the two jumped up and cheered.

He Yuxiang squeezed in with Pingping in his arms before putting her down and taking out some vegetables to feed the elephant.

Pingping seized the opportunity to take a picture of her brother.

Xiao Yu peeked into the camera's view and exclaimed softly, "Wow! My brother looks like this!"

Pingping's comment: "Photogenic."

Her face shape and temperament are suitable for the screen.

When film editors across the ocean were processing He Yuxiang's scenes, they were repeatedly amazed by his charisma. Despite being a villain in the film, his sinister aura and decisive movements had a fatal attraction that made people want to follow him.

Because of the favoritism shown by various departments, He Yuxiang's screen time quietly increased. (End of Chapter)
