To be honest, Yu Xiaohan wished he could shrink Zhao Yu and put him in his pocket to take away. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Yu Meiru and the others. If he couldn't take his little grandson with him, at least he could take a photo of him! Yu Xiaohan thought.
Yu Meiru looked at her father's reluctant eyes as he looked at Zhao Yu, and guessed what Yu Xiaohan was thinking, so she nodded in agreement.
Yu Meiru was relieved that Yu Xiaohan was willing to return to Hong Kong Island. She was actually worried that her stubborn father would not give up on taking the child away and would stay in Kyoto to fight her to the death. Compared to taking the photos with her, Yu Meiru clearly preferred the former.
The group went to the photo studio and took a group photo. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to go, but Yu Meiru dragged her along. In this day and age, being in a photo together signifies a close relationship. Zhou Yuanyuan had done Yu Meiru such a big favor today, and Yu Meiru insisted on taking a photo with her.
Under Yu Meiru's enthusiastic response, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't refuse and finally joined the group photo. Yu Xiaohan held Zhao Yu tightly and refused to let go, allowing the photographer to shoot a whole roll of film.
The photographer was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. In this day and age, going to a photo studio to take pictures was still a luxury. Most people would only take a photo when they needed it for ID. It was the first time for a photographer like Yu Xiaohan to be so generous as to work in a photo studio for more than ten years.
Because Yu Xiaohan was in a hurry to get on the plane, he charged the studio several times the price. Half an hour later, the photos were all developed. Apart from a few large group photos, the rest were photos of Yu Xiaohan holding Zhao Yu and showing off in various ways.
Yu Xiaohan held the photos, reluctant to put down either this one or that one. Finally, it was Yu Meiru who made the final decision. She took one photo for herself, Zhou Yuanyuan took one, and the rest were given to Yu Xiaohan.
After Yu Meiru finished distributing the photos, Yu Xiaohan felt a little embarrassed again. He picked out a photo of him and Zhao Yu from his pile of photos and reluctantly handed it to Yu Meiru. Yu Meiru was not polite and took the photo without any hesitation and put it away.
Zhou Yuanyuan laughed as she watched from the side. It was the first time she discovered that Yu Xiaohan had such a cute side.
After taking the photos, Yu Xiaohan still felt unsatisfied. He instructed Lao Hu to buy a camera for Yu Meiru and send it to him as soon as he returned to Hong Kong Island. He asked Yu Meiru to take more photos of the children when she was free, and then send them to him to show him the children's growth.
In order to let Yu Xiaohan get on the plane with peace of mind, Yu Meiru nodded no matter what he said. Finally, Yu Xiaohan took Lao Hu away, and Yu Meiru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yuanyuan inadvertently witnessed these bloody things in her aunt's family. She was afraid that Yu Meiru would feel uncomfortable, so she didn't follow Yu Meiru back to the Zhao family.
After Zhou Yuanyuan waved goodbye to Yu Meiru, she remembered that she had not visited General Zhou for some time, so she turned and walked towards General Zhou's house.
At General Zhou's house, Zhou Xi was packing his clothes while nagging, "Young Master, you have to remember that the tea you like to drink is in the second compartment of the cabinet. Ask Xiaoshan to be careful when he takes it. The Dahongpao tea next to it is for entertaining guests. Don't mix it with the wrong one. Otherwise, if you don't like Dahongpao, you will definitely ask Xiaoshan to pour it out, and I will have wasted all the effort to find it. Also, ah~! Your underwear is in the middle drawer of the wardrobe. Ask Xiaoshan to be careful when he takes it and don't make a mess. Also, your pipe is in the wooden box on top of the cabinet. The young lady said last time that it is best not to smoke. It is bad for your health..."
Zhou Xi was truly worried. General Zhou was good at everything except household chores. In daily life, General Zhou didn't even know how to simmer the rice before making fried rice, let alone the arrangement of other household necessities. Fortunately, there was a housekeeper at home to cook, otherwise Zhou Xi wouldn't be able to leave without worry.
"Ah Xi! I know everything. Why are you always so nagging? You have been nagging since you were a teenager until now. It's just a trip out. You are not going to come back. You nag like this every time. Are you afraid that I, your young master, have Alzheimer's disease? Let me tell you! I am in good health now and can kill a big rhinoceros. He Shumin had an argument with me that day. What a bastard! I yelled at him and he ran away..." General Zhou was also mumbling in response to Zhou Xi.
General Zhou and Zhou Xi were ostensibly master and servant, but in reality, General Zhou never considered Zhou Xi a servant, but rather a brother, even closer than a real brother. For decades, General Zhou and Zhou Xi's relationship remained much the same as it had been in their youth, each talking at their own pace, sometimes tangentially tangentially. However, the strange thing was that no matter what they said, the other could always discern what he meant.
"Hmph! I knew you were capable, but I was just worried that Xiaoshan was too dumb and would get you a pipe after you'd tricked him. Young Master! Take good care of your body while it's still strong. Miss, while she's capable, isn't a panacea." Zhou Xi muttered discontentedly. What did Zhou Xi dislike most about General Zhou? It had to be General Zhou's big pipe. General Zhou loved to smoke while thinking, and Zhou Xi had tried to persuade him many times but to no avail.
After Zhou Yuanyuan pulled General Zhou back from the brink of death, a trace of Xiaoyu's spiritual energy entered General Zhou's body. Smoking not only impeded General Zhou's recovery but also somewhat damaged Xiaoyu's spiritual energy. Xiaoyu's spiritual energy was so precious, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't bear to see General Zhou squander it. Therefore, under Zhou Yuanyuan's forceful intervention, General Zhou's pipe was finally put away.
Although General Zhou no longer smokes over the years, he would still ask Zhou Xi to take out his clean pipe and look at it when he has time. The pipe is filled with General Zhou's memories of his military years.
Zhou Xi was afraid that if he was not at home, Guard Xiaoshan would not be able to control General Zhou. What if General Zhou became craving for cigarettes while watching?
Zhou Xi knew that General Zhou was always impatient to remember trivial matters. Every time he was about to go out on a mission, Zhou Xi would recite the things that General Zhou urgently needed, such as the tea to drink every day, the clothes to change every day, etc. General Zhou's ears were almost callused from the repetition, so he naturally listened to him.
This time, Zhou Xi was leading a team to a remote mountain village. I heard there wasn't even a telephone there, so even sending a telegram required running to the town over a hundred miles away. Otherwise, Zhou Xi wouldn't have kept nagging. If General Zhou really hadn't remembered anything, Zhou Xi could just call him every day and it would all be solved.
