Chapter 108 Family Photo

"Qingye, you should go back today. Don't come over here anymore. Juanjuan doesn't like you, so I definitely can't let you in. That's it for now."

After saying that, he walked in without looking back, then locked the door with a bang.

Fu Qingye: “…”

This time, she was really angry and cried. Fu Qingye walked back crying, wishing she could kill Xia Juanjuan!

From childhood to adulthood, she has never suffered such injustice!

When they got back to the educated youth camp, it was almost time for dinner. Fu Qingye's roommate was eating, and Fu Qingye's stomach immediately started to growl.

She asked, "Is dinner ready? Where can I get it?"

The educated youth was named Wang Ling, and she looked at her like she was an idiot: "The educated youths have to cook their own meals. If you don't have any food, you can borrow some from the commune first, and then use it to offset your work points when you earn them from farm work."

Fu Qingye's eyes widened: "Cook...cook by yourself? Isn't it a big pot of rice?"

Wang Ling said, "The big pot meal just started, and then everyone felt that it was not enough and unfair, so they all started their own meals. Didn't you check before you came?"

Of course Fu Qingye didn't check! Her goal was to make Li Zhan's country wife divorce Li Zhan, and then she would marry Li Zhan and return to the city! It would only take a few months, who would check this!

"Is there any leftover food you cooked? Give me some." Fu Qingye said righteously.

Wang Ling frowned. She had originally thought that since she was also from Beijing, they lived in the same room. Now it seemed that this was a mistake. "I just did my share. That's all!"

Fu Qingye was very angry: "Why are you so selfish! Why don't you cook for me?"

Wang Ling was also a hot-tempered person. She didn't care who she was and sneered, "What's the matter? Did you give me food or money? I cook for you? How can you be so shameless? Even if you give me money, I'm not willing to serve you! Go away!"

Fu Qingye's face turned blue and white after being scolded, and he didn't dare to say anything. He ran to the place where educated youths were cooking in disgrace, only to find that he had to collect firewood himself. Each person had a small pile with their name written next to it. Anyone who dared to take it randomly would be pointed at and scolded by everyone!

Fu Qingye had nothing, so he had to eat some snacks he brought with him to fill his stomach. He began to regret that he was so careless!

Originally, the Fu family didn't need anyone to go to the countryside. The eldest and second brothers were both soldiers, and the third brother was a doctor at Union Hospital. As an adopted daughter, she had a legitimate policy and didn't have to go to the countryside. But she was kicked in the head by a donkey and took the initiative to apply to go down.

I'm really regretting this now! It seems I have to fight quickly and return to the city as soon as possible!

The next day, Lizhan and Xia Juanjuan, along with their three children, all wore new clothes. Lizhan wore a military uniform, which made him look handsome and powerful. Xia Juanjuan wore a floral shirt with a slanting collar. Although it was a country style, she was so beautiful that she looked good in anything.

The family took the village ox cart to the town, and then took a bus from the town to the county seat to take pictures.

There is no photo studio in the town, so if you want to take photos you have to go to the county seat.

It was the first time for the three kids to go to the county town, and they couldn’t help shouting with joy at everything they saw along the way.

The journey doesn't seem so long.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the photo studio.

Lizhan and Xia Juanjuan were sitting, Lizhan holding Xiaowu, Xia Juanjuan holding Beibei, and Xiaowen was standing slightly in front of them.

The camera was the kind of film camera covered with black cloth that you see in movies.

Suddenly, Xia Juanjuan's hand was grabbed by Lizhan's big hand. Xiaowen was blocking the way in front of her, so she couldn't take a photo. But it still made Xia Juanjuan extremely embarrassed. She struggled a few times, but couldn't get away.

The photographer said, "Don't move, keep smiling! Let's take a picture, one, two..."

"Crack"——

After taking the family photo, the two took another photo together.

It took two weeks for the photos to be developed, by which time Lizhan had already returned to the team.

Li Zhan asked Xia Juanjuan to mail one to him when the time came.

After leaving the photo studio, Li Zhan said with a smile: "Let's go, it's a rare opportunity to come here, let's go to a restaurant."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and agreed, "Okay. I'll let you be extravagant for once and treat us to a meal."

They chose a state-owned restaurant. Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan each ordered a bowl of salted noodles, and the three kids ordered one bowl together. They also ordered a few dishes, one duck with marinated sauce, one stir-fried kidney, and one candied yam.

The three kids ate until their mouths were full of oil, but they couldn't help but say, "It's delicious! But not as delicious as mommy's!"

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help feeling happy. This little flatterer can actually talk!

At the same time, he couldn't help but scold: "Even delicious food can't stop you from eating?"

Lizhan looked at his wife and three little kids, and for a moment his heart was filled with sweetness.

After dinner, Lizhan asked Xia Juanjuan and the three kids to wait for him, and they would go together after he came back after doing something.

Xia Juanjuan said: "If you have anything to do, the kids and I will go back first..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhan suddenly said in a cold voice: "No!"

Xia Juanjuan was shocked. It was not like she had never gone back by herself before...

Li Zhan was frightened when he recalled the night he saw Xia Juanjuan lying in the snow. He turned his head away and said, "Anyway, you guys just wait and you are not allowed to leave by yourself!"

After that, he went to do his job.

Although I said I was doing some work, in fact I just went to the educated youth point to ask about the reply to the official letter from my old classmate, and went to the telegraph station to check the replies to several telegrams that had been sent out previously.

The next day, Li Zhan went to the county again. Before leaving, he told Xia Juanjuan not to go out alone and to stay at home.

Xia Juanjuan didn't care about it. She just wanted to take advantage of the good weather to dry some bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots will be out of season in just over a month, so while you can still dig them up, dry some so you can eat them later.

The method is simple. Just boil it in salt water until soft, then cut it into slices and dry it under the sun.

There were not many winter bamboo shoots at home, so Xia Juanjuan carried a basket on her back and went to the mountain to dig them.

Not long after entering the mountain, she felt someone was following her secretly.
