"Linglong, your uncle has made a photo album, one for each family. This one is for you, so put it away first."

Gong Wantang brought the photo album to the bedside and continued, "Professor Shui and the others will be coming over today for lunch. Your Aunt Meirong will be bringing her daughter over. You should have a good talk with the child later."

"Okay." Gong Linglong responded.

"I'm going to the kitchen to prepare food. Call me if you need anything." Gong Wantang said and went out.

This album contains thirty or forty photos, more than half of which were taken after the Gong family returned to Beijing, including many heartwarming family photos.

"Hmm."

Xiaobao gave a sound signal, and Gong Linglong stood up and went over to him. "Xiaopeng, what's wrong? Do you need to pee?"

The little head shook, and the exposed little hand pointed at the photo album in her hand.

"Do you want to see the photo album?" Gong Linglong asked them.

The three brothers all blinked. They had never seen a photo album before and didn't know what it was. They were curious and wanted to take a look.

Gong Linglong opened the photo album, placed it on the edge of the bed in front of them, and showed them the photos one by one.

They all knew the people in the photos, but when they saw these clear photos, the three brothers' eyes lit up and a question mark clearly hung on their heads.

Being connected to them by blood, Gong Linglong could accurately guess their thoughts and whispered, "Where you used to live, there were no cameras, so you couldn't take pictures like this, right?"

All three little heads nodded.

Gong Linglong had previously guessed that the place where they lived in their previous life was probably different from where she lived in her previous life, and now it has been confirmed.

After showing them the photo album, Gong Linglong took out a camera from her space and began to introduce it to them. "This is called a camera, a Seagull brand. Grandma gave it to Mom. She bought it at the Overseas Chinese Store for over 400 yuan, and you need a receipt. These photos were all taken with this camera. There's still film inside. I'll open it and show you."

After looking at the camera, Gong Linglong showed them the watch, then held them in her arms to look at the TV, radio, etc., and then quietly gave them some popular science information in the house.

Not long after, the Shui family arrived, and Gong Wantang led the female relatives into the house.

"Grandma Shui, Aunt Shui." Gong Linglong called out with a smile.

"Linglong, it's only been ten days since we last met, and you've lost a lot of weight." Shui Meirong pushed a wheelchair into the house.

"I eat and drink well every day, and I don't try to lose weight deliberately. I lose weight naturally."

I was so fat during pregnancy that it was unbearable to look at, but now I have slowly lost weight and I feel much more energetic and beautiful.

"Oh, these three little guys are so fair and tender, so cute." When Mrs. Shui saw these beautiful and lovely children, her heart softened.

Gong Linglong exchanged a few pleasantries with them, then her eyes fell on the young girl with short hair standing behind her. She smiled and asked, "Aunt Shui, is this your daughter?"

"Yes, my daughter Xu Jiayu."

Shui Meirong had put a lot of thought into bringing her here today. She pulled her forward affectionately and introduced her: "Jiayu, this is Aunt Gong's daughter, Gong Linglong, the wife of Captain Lu."

Xu Jiayu smiled shyly, extended her hand toward Gong Linglong, and said in a low voice, "Comrade Gong, we've met before."

Gong Linglong shook hands with her. The moment she saw her, she found that she looked familiar. Thinking carefully, she suddenly remembered: "I remember that in early August last year, you were a volunteer at the West District Rescue Center in the disaster area. I delivered Chinese medicine there, and you helped me unload the goods."

"Yes." Xu Jiayu's smile deepened when she saw that she remembered.

"So you're Aunt Shui's daughter. If I had known earlier, I would have taken you to the East District. I was with your grandfather and two cousins ​​at the time. The Chinese medicine I sent over was all made by them and my mother."

Xu Jiayu didn't know that her grandfather and others had also gone to the disaster area, but later she saw Gong Linglong's photo in the newspaper. She also told her classmates about her meeting with this most beautiful military wife.

Shui Meirong didn't know that her daughter had been a volunteer in the disaster area. She now regretted not going, otherwise she might have met Jiayu at that time.

"Jiayu, sit down."

Gong Wantang brought a stool over to greet her, saying with a smile, "Linglong is about your age. She's less than a year older than you. You two should have a good chat."

Lu Jingchuan brought them hot tea, followed by two plates of dried fruits, candies, and fruit. He then pushed the triplets' cribs out. "Linglong, go chat with Comrade Xu. I'm taking Dabao and the others outside. I need to help them urinate."

After they left, Gong Linglong took out a box of chocolates from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Jiayu, "Jiayu, this is the chocolate my grandpa brought back from Hong Kong City. Take it back and eat it."

"This is too expensive. I'll just eat these candies." Xu Jiayu returned it to her.

"Here, take it home and eat it slowly."

Gong Linglong sat down opposite her, took out a fruit knife, cut the rock sugar tangerine, and handed it to her to eat, "Jiayu, come, have some fruit."

"Thank you, you can have some too." Xu Jiayu only took one piece.

"I just gave birth and am in confinement. I can't eat raw or cold fruits."

Gong Linglong placed all the cut rock sugar oranges in front of her and started chatting with her with a smile: "When we met in the disaster area, I didn't look at you carefully. In fact, you look quite like Aunt Shui. Your facial features and temperament are very similar."

Xu Jiayu is more introverted and not as open as her. She smiled a little stiffly: "You are very similar to your mother."

"Yeah, most daughters look like their mothers."

Gong Linglong was still busy peeling walnuts for her, and she started talking. "I heard from Aunt Shui that you're a high school graduate. Where do you work now?"

"I don't have a job." Xu Jiayu lowered her head, her voice weak and whisper-like.

Gong Linglong frowned slightly and said, "I heard that Kyoto has commendations and rewards for volunteers in the disaster area. Those with formal jobs have been promoted to the next level, temporary workers have been made permanent, and the unemployed have all been arranged for work. Didn't the higher-ups arrange any for you?"

"It's arranged for me." Xu Jiayu pursed her lips.

"Is the assigned work not good?" Gong Linglong asked again.

“The work is OK.”

Seeing that she didn't say much, it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about it. She must have something to hide. Gong Linglong didn't ask too much. "Jia Yu, if you have any difficulties or need help, you can tell me, or you can tell your mother and grandfather."

"There's no difficulty and I don't need help." Xu Jiayu was a little distant.

Gong Linglong thought that they had just met and were not even friends, so it was not appropriate to ask too much about her affairs for the time being. She changed the subject: "Jiayu, I heard from Aunt Shui that you have been living at your aunt's house for many years. Do you still live there now?"

"No, I rented a room at my classmate's house." Xu Jiayu only told her and didn't tell her mother.
