We can't take photos until the 4th, and it's not even New Year's Day yet, so there's no rush.
Chen Suwen framed a photo of Zhao Lexin and her parents and gave it to her.
The large photos, nearly twenty inches in size, perfectly captured the appearances of her parents, and Zhao Lexin couldn't help but tear up when she received them.
“Dad…Mom…” Zhao Lexin looked at her parents’ smiling faces in the photo, her voice choked with emotion.
Zhou Min looked at the colors in the photo with surprise. "Mom, you and Dad are amazing! You actually managed to turn a black and white photo into color?"
Of course, as she said this, she also patted Zhao Lexin's head and said, "Cheer up, your parents certainly don't want you to be sad every day."
"They definitely want you to be happy. Look how happy they are in the photos!"
“Look at this color photo, doesn’t it look like your mom and dad are still with you?” Zhou Min comforted the little girl.
Zhou Min sometimes envied Zhao Lexin for being an only child and receiving all of her parents' love.
But sometimes I also feel sorry for her because she lost her parents.
At this moment, she was very grateful that her parents were still alive. Even though her parents were sometimes strict with her, she didn't want to be separated from them.
Sometimes she would complain about why she was ever born. When her mother insisted she do chores even though she didn't want to, she would think it would have been better if she had never been born.
Zhou Min comforted Zhao Lexin, "Don't worry, you still have us as your family."
Zhao Lexin's eyes were red, but no tears fell.
She looked up at her aunt and smiled through her tears, "Yes, I know. My grandparents are good to me, and my uncles, aunts, and auntie are good to me too. I know."
Although she is young, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.
Especially after comparing the Wu family and the Zhou family, she could feel even more how good the Zhou family was to her.
Although Grandma likes to scold people and speaks loudly, she really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Unlike Aunt Pang from the Wu family, who would deliberately use extremely offensive language when scolding her and her mother.
He showed no mercy when he hit her.
Wu Yan's older sister told her that her mother had a "sharp tongue but a soft heart," but at the time she couldn't tell if that was true or not.
But now she understands that Aunt Pang wasn't all bark and no bite; it was Grandma Chen who was.
"Cheer up, I'll take you to see your parents after New Year's Day."
Chen Qixue sacrificed herself while saving people, and her body has, of course, been found.
Zhao Yixiu was no exception, since his teammates knew where he had encountered danger.
The couple's remains were collected and buried.
Chen Suwen also knew where the couple's graves were.
It's quite convenient to take the little girl to visit her parents.
"Really? Can I go see my mom and dad?" Zhao Lexin looked up at Chen Suwen with anticipation.
“Okay.” Chen Suwen nodded. “It won’t interfere with anything anyway.”
As for why it's not appropriate to worship ancestors at this time?
She didn't say she would take Zhao Lexin to burn incense and paper money for her parents. She just asked Zhao Lexin to bring a bouquet of flowers to visit her heroic parents. What's wrong with that?
Moreover, things are not as tense as they were in the previous years, now in 1976.
Time flew by and it was 1976. On New Year's Day, Chen Suwen's family had a big meal.
Chen Suwen specially asked her daughter-in-law to go to the meat processing plant early in the morning to buy meat, and also went to the countryside two days in advance to exchange it for a chicken.
During holidays and festivals, the most popular dish in South China is undoubtedly poached chicken, especially South China F3. The saying "no feast is complete without chicken" is no exaggeration.
Chen Suwen, along with her two daughters-in-law, stewed pork, made poached chicken, and also prepared delicious pumpkin pancakes.
There were so many pumpkins at home, and Chen Suwen didn't really like stir-fried pumpkin, so it was perfect for making pastries.
She likes pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin steamed cakes, pumpkin porridge, and pumpkin steamed buns.
Chen Suwen was a bit picky about food, but there weren't many foods she wouldn't eat. If she didn't like a certain way of cooking it, she would simply switch to another.
Just like pumpkin, she doesn't like stir-fried pumpkin, but if the pumpkin is cooked until it's soft and turns into a golden soup, she likes it whether it's cooked with salt-baked chicken or other meats.
She also likes to make various kinds of desserts.
Anyway, she definitely wouldn't like stir-fried pumpkin slices on their own.
“This year, our family has three new members. Let’s welcome them to the family,” Zhou Qingyun said, raising his glass with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome." Zhou Cunzong was the first to respond. Two of the new members were his daughters, so of course he had to welcome them.
"And Lexin, you're welcome to join our family too." Xu Huixue said to Zhao Lexin with a smile, "I'm so glad you're a child in our family."
"Yeah yeah."
Everyone else echoed this sentiment, welcoming Zhao Lexin warmly.
Zhao Lexin held a water glass containing fruit soda that Chen Suwen had bought for the children.
Today is a holiday, and Chen Suwen allowed the Zhou family father and son to drink, but the women and children did not like to drink and could not sit at a separate table with them.
So she bought some fruit soda, and actually she also took some of her own stock from her personal storage space.
She didn't know the Coca-Cola recipe, but she knew how to make regular cola, and she also knew how to make other fruit-flavored sodas.
So she has some sodas she used to make in her space, and today she took out orange-flavored soda and lemon-orange-flavored soda.
Zhao Lexin's cup contained orange-flavored soda. She drank the soda while listening to what everyone was saying to her, her face beaming with a bright smile.
