Chapter 262 The New Year is really lively!
Lei Jingwu came the next morning, had breakfast, and then left. It was said that he was heading to the capital, where he had some business to attend to.
"My older brother has started a company in the capital with a partner, he must be quite busy lately!"
Hey sis, let's go take a picture!
"I've even prepared my photo clothes!" Xiao Tiantian said, taking out the photo clothes she had prepared when she was in Shanghai.
Yao Shula thought about it and agreed. She was just waiting for Xiao Tiantian to come back so they could take pictures together.
She immediately told Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli to change their clothes and go to the photo studio.
Everyone changed into their best clothes and headed to the photo studio together.
...
When they arrived at the photo studio, the photographer immediately recognized them as the children from Old Yao's family who had come to have their photos taken last year.
He remembered that last year, before the New Year, the eldest daughter of the Yao family brought her three children to take pictures.
Especially the youngest one, who kept asking whether black and white or color photos looked better, how many days it would take to get the photos, and whether the negatives could be used to develop many photos...
"Wow! You're a bit late this year! But it's good to come now, there aren't many people!"
"There were so many people here a few days ago!" the photographer said with a smile.
Yao Shula quickly explained that she had been too busy a few days ago, but came over to take photos now that she was less busy.
The people at the photo studio smiled and gestured for Yao Shula to lead her younger siblings to stand in the designated spot.
As before, Yao Shuxin stood behind with Yao Shuli, while Yao Shula sat on the stool in front, and Xiao Tiantian stood next to Yao Shula.
As the photographer told me not to blink... the first photo was taken very quickly.
Afterwards, Xiaotian took a photo with Yao Shula, and then took a photo with Yao Shuli and Yao Shuxin.
Yao Shula then took a couple photo with Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli.
"Please come back in a week to pick up the photos! Same old rule, two sets printed?" the photographer asked.
"Okay, just two washes..."
“Wash three sets!” Little Tiantian interjected.
"Why bother washing three sets? We have the negatives; we can just wash them whenever we need them," Yao Shuli said.
Xiao Tiantian quickly shook her head.
"A set of framed photos is placed on the wall so that everyone can see our family when they come in."
We have another set in an album that we keep so we can look at it whenever we want.
"The last set... I want to send it back to Grandpa. He specifically told me to send him a set of photos." Little Tiantian said eagerly.
Upon hearing this, Yao Shula immediately made a gesture to the photographer.
"Four sets, please!"
"Four sets?" The three younger ones were stunned.
"Okay, if Shuxin goes away to school in the future, I'll give her one set too! Alright, let's wash four sets first!"
"Shuli, if you go abroad in the future, your older sister will bring the negatives to be developed." Yao Shula said with a smile.
The three younger ones all understood what Yao Shula meant.
That means you shouldn't forget your family even when you're away from home.
...
After taking the photos, Yao Shula took her three children home, chatting and laughing.
Along the way, Xiao Tiantian chattered like a cheerful little bird, greeting passersby from time to time.
He noticed that everyone said they had gone home yesterday...
Yao Shula and her two siblings all looked at Xiao Tiantian and smiled.
This little guy must have been cooped up for days!
"Tian Tian, do you not have anyone to talk to you this much every day in Shanghai?" Yao Shuli asked, putting her arm around Tian Tian's shoulder.
Xiao Tian hummed in agreement and then shook her head.
"No, that's not true! There are still people who want to talk about it, but I don't want to."
When adults come to talk to me, they're always asking about this or that, or trying to find out what my grandfather and maternal grandfather have said.
I don't want to talk to them.
Many children my age also came to talk to me.
But they either talk about food or toys, or they show off whose toys are better, whose clothes are nicer, or whose lucky money they received.
I'm not interested in those things, and I can't be bothered to talk to them.
Oh, aside from talking a lot in front of my grandfather, maternal grandfather, older brother, and cousins, I don't talk much to anyone else...
"I hardly ever talk!" Xiao Tiantian explained.
Yao Shuli said "oh" and then fell silent.
Yao Shula understood that whether it was the Lei family or the Gu family, everyone had their own agenda and ulterior motives.
In their eyes, Xiao Tiantian is the best source of information...
It's a pity, this little guy is smarter than anyone else now, he's not someone you can just get information out of anyone!
"Alright, hurry home, cook lunch, and then take Tiantian to Grandma's house."
Grandma asked when Tiantian would be back, saying she had already prepared her New Year's money! Yao Shula pulled Tiantian along, while Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli walked happily home.
Before I even got home, I saw a lot of people walking in one direction.
Judging from the location, it seems to be the alley where Yao Shula lives.
"Whose house is on fire?" Yao Shula also pulled Xiao Tiantian along and quickened her pace.
"I don't know, could it be that someone's family is fighting again? It's not even the first month of the lunar year yet and they're already fighting! Isn't there going to be fighting all year round?" Yao Shuli also pulled Yao Shuxin's hand and walked forward quickly.
Soon, Yao Shula and her three siblings returned to their alley with everyone else.
The place where everyone gathered was the Zheng family's house, which was four houses away from Yao Shula's house.
Yao Shula also saw Yao Chunnian, who had brought Qiangqiang to watch the excitement.
"Sister Chun Nian, what's going on!" Yao Shula immediately led the three children over.
Yao Chunian was overjoyed to see that it was Yao Shula.
“I just took Qiangqiang to your house, but no one answered when we knocked. Grandma Zhou next door said you took your younger siblings to take pictures.”
I never expected to encounter such a lively scene.
"Come on, take a look! This is a good spot for me!" Yao Chunian said, clearing out a space for Yao Shula and her three siblings to stand.
Yao Shula quickly squeezed in and stood in the first row.
Once she stood at the front, Yao Shula realized what was happening: Old Zheng's youngest daughter-in-law was standing on the roof of their newly built two-story house, threatening to jump...
Looking at the distance, Yao Shula sighed.
At this height... dying isn't so easy!
"Why would someone jump off a building for no reason?" Someone nearby, like Yao Shula, was also puzzled.
"What else could it be? Ever since the baby was born, the Zheng family has been making a scene every day. They're even pushing him to the brink of suicide. There must be something he can't stand anymore!"
"Oh dear, this is scary! Quickly, get them down!"
...
Yao Shula looked at the youngest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family on the roof and just cried, refusing to come down no matter how much her husband and mother-in-law tried to persuade her from below.
