“I’ll support you once you’ve made up your mind. I’ll just say that your aunt asked me to come to your house.”
"Okay, I'll tell my mom in the next couple of days."
"Let's wait until the day our two families get together before we dig up the treasure, Qingbai, what do you think?"
"Hmm, I think that's a good idea. My family won't be surprised if I go home late."
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai agreed to leave the warehouse.
"Shall we go shopping at the department store now? Didn't your second uncle give you the ticket for the camera?"
I've been wanting to buy a camera for a while now!
"Okay, let's go buy a camera."
An Qingbai led Zhuang Zhimeng to a large department store nearby.
The two of them went straight to the camera counter.
"Zhizhi, what brand of camera do you want?"
Zhuang Zhimeng immediately took a liking to a Seagull brand camera.
"I think the Seagull one is pretty good, let's take this one!"
"Okay, this one will do."
An Qingbai asked the salesperson.
How much does this camera cost?
The sales clerk gave them a dismissive glance.
Did you bring the tickets?
An Qingbai took out the ticket and showed it to the sales clerk, then asked again.
How much does the camera cost?
The sales clerk immediately became enthusiastic and quickly went to them.
"This camera costs 70 yuan."
Zhuang Zhimeng asked a question.
"How much does that roll of film cost?"
"Ten yuan a roll."
Zhuang Zhimeng took out one hundred yuan directly.
"We'll buy three rolls of film and a camera."
"I'll issue you the invoice right away."
After paying, the clerk handed the camera and film to Zhuang Zhimeng.
Zhuang Zhimeng was very happy with the camera in hand, and she and An Qingbai discussed things after leaving the department store.
"Hehe, Qingbai, let's find a place to take a group photo."
"Let's go to a courtyard house! I think it's a great place to take a group photo."
"Alright, let's go!"
An Qingbai took Zhuang Zhimeng back to the courtyard house.
The two of them took two photos together in the courtyard house; they'll develop the photos later when they have time.
When Zhuang Zhimeng got home, she found that her mother had already come home from get off work.
Hao Caiyun looked at her daughter holding the camera and asked her a question.
"Ya Ya, did you and Xiao An go to buy a camera?"
"Yes, Mom, I've always wanted to buy a camera, but I just couldn't think of it."
So, Qingbai's second uncle gave him a ticket for a camera, and we bought the camera.
"That's perfect, you can take photos when you get married."
Our old camera broke a long time ago, and your dad and I never thought of buying a new one.
"You're all grown up now, so it's enough to keep some childhood memories."
"Yes, we bought it to keep as a souvenir. We'll take as many photos as possible while we're still away."
"Okay, take more pictures."
Zhuang Zhimeng casually placed the camera on the sofa, then moved closer to her mother and whispered in her ear.
"Mom, come to my room tonight, I have something to tell you."
Hao Caiyun glanced at her daughter.
"What's wrong? Why are you being so secretive?"
"Hehe, that's great news! You'll find out tonight."
"Okay, I'll come to your room tonight, and we'll sleep together."
"Alright! I'll be waiting for you."
When it was time to sleep, Hao Caiyun only told her husband.
“I sleep with Yaya at night, and we talk about some private topics for women.”
Zhuang Xingzhou muttered to himself.
What private topics could you possibly have to discuss?
"Haha, I already said it's a private topic, so of course I can't let you know!"
Before leaving the room with her blanket, Hao Caiyun waved to Zhuang Xingzhou.
"Go to sleep early yourself!"
Zhuang Xingzhou sighed helplessly; he couldn't afford to offend either of the mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter wouldn't take him with them, what could he do? He couldn't just force himself to sleep with the daughter!
Zhuang Zhimeng wrapped herself up tightly in the blanket, waiting for her mother to come over.
Hao Caiyun came in carrying a quilt, and Zhuang Zhimeng stretched out a hand to wave to her mother.
"Mom, come quick, it's so warm in my bed!"
Hao Caiyun smiled and crawled into her daughter's bed, covering her with her own blanket.
Zhuang Zhimeng immediately reached out and hugged her mother.
"Hehe, this is warmer."
Hao Caiyun patted her daughter's hand.
"Alright, what do you want to tell me?"
Zhuang Zhimeng then recounted the story of the warehouse to her mother.
Hao Caiyun was shocked after hearing this, but her reaction was completely different from what Zhuang Zhimeng had guessed.
"Yaya, you should have told me you had this warehouse sooner!"
For so many years, I've been living in fear that someone might discover the treasure your grandfather had.
Having this warehouse has really solved a huge problem for me.
Tomorrow we'll go to your grandpa's house and pack all your things.
Zhuang Zhimeng hugged her mother and explained.
“I went to the countryside as soon as I got this warehouse. I was afraid that if I told you, you would worry about me again.”
"The countryside is dangerous too; some people can't stand seeing others do well and will report them!"
"Yes, Ya Ya, you're right. So why are you telling me now? Is there something you haven't told me?"
Zhuang Zhimeng nodded.
"I found a mentor in our brigade, and she's a renowned embroidery master in Beijing!"
Her family also has ancestral property, and one of our tasks upon returning this time is to help our master collect the ancestral property.
Qingbai and I went to check it out. Now that place has become a Red Armband Office. We plan to go there in the middle of the night to dig up the ancestral property.
We're just letting you know in advance so you won't think we've been out all night.
