Guan Wenru brought Guan Wanxin and Guan Hongqi home, and Guan Hongqi still had anger on his face.
He muttered curses under his breath, "Grandma, sister, you shouldn't have stopped me. You should have let me knock that bastard's front teeth out."
Guan Wanxin raised her hand and patted his head. "Stop fighting all the time. You have to remember... you are a soldier now. Think before you do anything. Think about whether doing something will cause any irreversible consequences?"
"If you lay a hand on him at the police station today, and someone reports you, you'll lose your military service. What then?"
Guan Hongqi pouted, "If I can't take it, then I won't! That brat dared to bully my sister, I'm already being lenient by not chopping his head off."
Guan Wenru smiled, walked over to him, and put her arm around his shoulder. "Alright, I know you want to avenge me, but... I didn't lose out today either. He's reaping what he sowed. He's not only lost his job, but he'll also be sent to a reformatory."
Seeing that Guan Hongqi was still indignant, Guan Wenru suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her newly bought camera from her bag, "Look what I bought at Huiqiao Store today."
The moment Guan Hongqi saw the camera, her eyes lit up. She quickly took it and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Sister, you bought a camera?! Is this for me?!"
Guan Wenru raised her hand and slapped his forehead. "Dream on. This camera cost me a lot of my allowance. You can only play with it for a few days. You have to return it to me the day you enlist."
Okay, go check the instruction manual and figure out how to use it. We'll take a family photo tonight when Mom and Dad get home.
"Alright then." Guan Hongqi grabbed his camera and rushed back to his room.
Seeing how happy he was, Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru's eyes crinkled into smiles.
Guan Wanxin took Guan Wenru's hand and led her into the house. "Did that boy really touch you today?"
Guan Wenru: "They only touched my arm."
Guan Wanxin raised an eyebrow. "Grandma won't ask you why, she just wants to tell you that when you're out and about, you have to be careful in what you do, and never give anyone a handle to use against you."
"You now represent not only the Guan family, but also Yan Zhi. He is a regimental-level cadre, and you are his wife. Your every word and action could very well affect his future."
Guan Wenru nodded, "Grandma, I'll remember that. I'll be more careful with my words and actions in the future."
...
Guan Hongqi was very interested in these kinds of mechanical things.
After fiddling with it for two hours, he finally figured out how to use the camera.
He then went to teach Guan Wenru.
The siblings took many photos with the camera, and after taking the photos, he taught Guan Wenru how to develop them.
As soon as Guan Yuanxiu and Qin Yue returned, they couldn't wait to take pictures.
They first asked Uncle Li to help them take a family photo.
Besides the family photo, they also took many other photos together as couples.
Guan Hongqi also helped Uncle Li and Aunt Wang take a group photo.
Afterwards, Guan Wanxin asked Guan Hongqi to invite the neighbors to come and help take a family photo for their whole family.
This family photo includes Uncle Li and Aunt Wang.
The family only ate dinner after filming was finished.
As soon as he finished eating, Guan Hongqi went to develop the photos without stopping.
Perhaps because she was too engrossed in developing the photos, and in her haste to get them printed, Guan Hongqi was developing them until 2 a.m. before she knew it.
He only stopped when he felt his upper body stiffen and it hurt terribly to move.
When he checked the time, he realized it was already so late, so he put down everything he was holding and quickly went to wash up.
After he turned off the light, lay down on the bed, and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a loud bang in the yard.
He thought he was just too tired and was hallucinating, so he turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.
Just then, another 'bang' was heard from the courtyard wall.
The sound wasn't very loud, but he heard it very clearly.
He frowned, quickly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and tiptoed to the window.
He peeked through the crack in the window and saw two figures by the courtyard wall…
He was startled and quickly went to find a weapon.
He didn't have any sticks in his house, and his house was quite far from the kitchen, so it wouldn't be easy for him to get a knife.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly picked up a chair, walked to the door, and listened carefully to the sounds.
The two people outside the door were whispering something, which he couldn't hear at all.
In order to prevent these two men from harming his family, as the man of the family, he had to rush out and fight them!
Thinking this, he disregarded everything else, quickly opened the door, grabbed a chair, and rushed out.
The two people in the courtyard seemed surprised that someone would suddenly come out of the house at this time.
The two people froze in place when they heard the noise.
In the instant they froze, Guan Hongqi had already rushed in front of them, smashing a chair in his hand at them, shouting, "Thief! Catch the thief!"
Guan Hongqi's voice was very loud; he shouted as he smashed the object.
Guan Wenru's house was not far from his house.
Upon hearing the commotion, Guan Wenru rushed out, holding a long wooden stick in her hand.
As soon as Guan Hongqi saw her, he immediately stopped her, "Sister, come inside, come inside! I'll take care of things here."
He had already smashed the chair in his hand several times.
The two petty thieves were lying on the ground, howling in pain.
Guan Hongqi didn't hear exactly what was shouted.
Anyway, he had to knock them down first to prevent them from having any physical strength to retaliate.
But... the more he listened to those two voices, the more familiar they seemed...
One of the men lying on the ground suddenly shouted, "Guan Hongqi, stop! I'm your grandpa!"
