Zhao Lexin found photos of her parents and photos taken with them.
Zhao Lexin is her parents' only daughter. Zhao Yixiu and Chen Qixue did not stop loving her just because she was their daughter, nor did they have any other children.
When Chen Qixue gave birth to Zhao Lexin, Zhao Yixiu rushed back with great difficulty. Seeing his wife so weak after giving birth, he decided not to have any more children.
Daughter is daughter.
As the great leader said, "Women hold up half the sky."
So what if his daughter isn't a boy?
If she is well cared for, she can still have a bright future.
Therefore, Zhao Yixiu did not allow Chen Qixue to have a second child, and the couple raised Zhao Lexin like a treasure.
Because they only have one child, and both of them are practically orphans who don't need to support their elderly parents, they are able to provide their daughter with a lot of material things since they are both working.
For example, taking photos.
We took photos once when we got married, once when our daughter was 100 days old, once when she was one year old, once when she was five years old, and once when she was seven years old.
Therefore, Zhao Lexin has many photos of herself and her parents, which is very rare in this era.
Many people in this era may never have their picture taken in their entire lives, but she has so many photos at the age of seven, which shows how much her parents love her.
"Grandma, this is a picture of me with my mom and dad."
Zhao Lexin took out a photo album and handed it to Chen Suwen.
Chen Suwen nodded and took it, then pulled Zhao Lexin over to look at it together.
Zhou Xian and Zhou Mei were also very curious about what their sister's parents looked like, but they didn't realize that Zhao Lexin's parents had passed away and weren't afraid to see photos of the deceased.
Flipping through the photo album, the first thing that catches the eye is a picture of a smiling family of three.
This is a photo of three-year-old Zhao Lexin with her parents; all three of them have bright smiles on their faces.
The two adults in Chen Suwen's photo are indeed very good-looking, and Chen Qixue is also a great beauty.
Chen Qixue has the look of a Hong Kong star. If she had been in the 80s, 90s, or even 00s, she would definitely have been a huge star.
As for why it wasn't the 2010s and 2020s, it's because the appearances of celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry weren't as distinctive back then.
"My sister's mother is so beautiful," Zhou Mei exclaimed, looking at the photo of Chen Qixue.
She knew her older sister was very beautiful, but she never expected her sister's mother to be so beautiful.
Chen Suwen nodded in agreement.
"Suddenly I understand why Pang Zijuan was so jealous of Chen Qixue," Xu Huixue whispered to Shen Wenxiu.
Of course, they try to control their volume when they speak so that the children can't hear them clearly.
Shen Wenxiu pursed her lips. "It's really not Comrade Chen Qixue's fault. That Pang Zijuan is just sick."
Chen Qixue did go on a blind date with Wu Yuejiang, but she didn't like him. As a result, Pang Zijuan still holds a grudge against her for so many years. She is innocent too.
Xu Huixue nodded, "I know."
"Lexin's mother is so beautiful, Lexin will definitely grow up to be very beautiful too." Xu Huixue praised Chen Qixue, and didn't forget to praise Zhao Lexin as well.
A bright smile appeared on Zhao Lexin's face, and the sadness she felt when she saw her parents' photos lessened considerably.
"My mom is very beautiful, hehe."
As for her, she knew that she didn't look much like her mother; she looked more like her father.
But it doesn't matter, in her heart her mother is the most beautiful.
"Grandma, don't worry. In my heart, Mom is the most beautiful, and Grandma is the second most beautiful." Zhao Lexin didn't forget to coax Chen Suwen.
Chen Suwen looked down at the little girl nestled in her arms and said, "You have good taste. I am indeed very good-looking."
As for ranking second only in the little girl's heart?
She didn't mind at all.
"So you're planning to make this photo in color, frame it, and put it on the table in your room?" Chen Su asked, pointing to the first photo in the album.
Zhao Lexin shook her head, gesturing for Chen Suwen to look through the photo album. After looking at each photo, she pointed to the one taken before she started school, "I want this one."
In this photo, she is wearing two pigtails and being held in her father's arms, while her mother smiles and holds her father's arm.
The family of three looked very warm and sweet.
She chose this photo mainly because the parents in the photo were closer to how she looked when she lost them.
The photos of her parents in the previous ones showed them to be too young, a little different from how she remembered them.
Chen Suwen nodded, "Okay, then we'll make this photo in color and frame it for you."
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Huixue and Shen Wenxiu, "If you want your own photos, go to a photo studio and have them taken yourselves."
"Don't tell anyone about me asking your dad to get color photos of Lexin."
She also gave some instructions to the younger ones.
Even though the children sometimes spoke without thinking and liked to show off, she seriously reminded several of them not to go out and talk nonsense.
She wasn't sure if anyone in this era had the technology to turn black and white photos into color photos, and she was unlikely to let Zhou Qingyun publicize this "technology".
"Yes, we understand."
Chen Suwen took out the photo that Zhao Lexin had chosen, handed the album to the young girl in the department, and then took the photo to find Zhou Qingyun.
Actually, she had some machines stored in her space. She knew how to operate them, but it was safer for Zhou Qingyun to operate them.
Xu Huixue and Shen Wenxiu watched their parents-in-law go back into the house, exchanged a glance, and said nothing.
