Dai Xingyun pulled a camera out of his bag at some point. He skillfully fiddled with the camera, adjusted the focus and angle, and then pointed the lens at Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by his actions, but after regaining her senses, a bright smile appeared on her face.
Dai Xingyun quickly pressed the shutter, capturing this beautiful moment.
"Where did this camera come from?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Dai Xingyun with suspicion, her heart filled with curiosity.
Dai Xingyun smiled slightly and honestly replied, "I took it when I got home yesterday."
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel annoyed. She complained, "Why didn't you take it out sooner? If you had taken it out earlier, we could have taken pictures of the spectacular scene of the flag-raising ceremony!"
Dai Xingyun quickly explained, "There were too many people at the time, so even if I took it out, I wouldn't be able to take a proper picture, so I didn't take it out."
Shen Xiaoxiao listened and felt that Dai Xingyun's words made sense, since it was indeed not convenient to take photos in a large crowd.
She nodded and said, "That's true, with so many people, it's indeed not easy to take pictures."
So the two of them continued their journey, stopping whenever they saw a nice view to take a picture.
Sometimes, they would even take a group photo.
In the past few days, Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao have visited all the tourist attractions in Kyoto.
They visited the Forbidden City, saw the maple leaves in the maple forest, went to Houhai Lake, and explored all the hutongs of Beijing, finding many local snacks.
Time flies, and happy days are always short-lived.
Tomorrow, Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao will start school.
The two sat under the eaves, sipping tea and flipping through books.
Dai Xingyun suddenly broke the silence, smiling as he said to Shen Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, school starts tomorrow, and my parents would like to invite you to dinner tonight. Is that alright?"
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay!"
“Oh right, the plaster you asked me to bring to the old man and his family last time, they’ve been using it quite well. I ran into Grandpa Qin a few days ago, and he said he wanted to buy some from you,” Dai Xingyun said quickly, only now remembering.
"Really? That's great!" Shen Xiaoxiao said excitedly. "I knew it! This ointment was carefully formulated by me based on an ancient recipe. It will definitely have a good effect on treating joint pain."
Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao so happy, Dai Xingyun couldn't help but feel happy for her too.
Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, I made a few more bottles of health pills. I can give one to Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle and Aunt later."
He smiled and said, "Okay, thank you on behalf of my parents! They've always thought of us."
"Your family is my family, why are you being so polite with me?" Shen Xiaoxiao gave him a playful glare.
Dai Xingyun's face was expressionless, but anyone could see the tenderness in his eyes.
The two had a simple lunch. Although the food wasn't lavish, the atmosphere between them was very warm and cozy.
After lunch, they rested for a while and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative together.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, they selected some fresh fruit to take with them when they visited Dai's home. After all, one shouldn't go empty-handed.
Carrying fruit, the two strolled leisurely, enjoying the tranquil afternoon.
As they walked, they finally arrived at the Dai family's residence. Before they could even enter, they ran into Old Master Qin and his group.
As soon as Grandpa Qin saw Shen Xiaoxiao, a bright smile immediately spread across his face. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh, Xiaoxiao! You've come! Your plaster is really effective. Look how much more agile I am now!"
With a faint smile on her lips, Shen Xiaoxiao softly replied, "Hello, Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Wang, and all the other grandpas!"
Her gaze fell on Grandpa Qin, noticing that he walked with a steady gait, more agile and free than before.
Shen Xiaoxin was delighted and said with a smile, "Grandpa Qin, you walk much more briskly than before! It seems the ointment I gave you is working well, right?"
Grandpa Qin's face beamed with smiles as he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, girl, your ointment is truly miraculous! This old man hasn't felt this relaxed in a long time."
At this moment, Grandpa Wang walked over quickly, looking at Shen Xiaoxiao with a worried expression, and asked impatiently, "Girl, my plaster is almost used up, can you make some more for this old man?" His voice revealed his eagerness for the plaster.
Before Shen Xiaoxiao could answer, Grandpa Qin hurriedly walked up to her and said anxiously, "Girl, my plaster is almost gone. You have to make some for me too."
“Ours are almost used up too,” the other old men chimed in.
"Yes, yes, I prepared some last night. Share them with each other first. If it's not enough, I'll bring you more later."
As she spoke, Shen Xiaoxiao took out a large stack of plasters from her small bag and then smiled as she distributed them all to the old men present.
"Little girl, you're so thoughtful! But we can't take advantage of you."
"Look, you bought all these medicinal herbs with your own money, and you also spent a lot of time making them."
"So, name your price, how much is it?" Upon seeing this, Old Master Qin quickly pulled out a large wad of ten-yuan notes from his pocket and asked.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need, Grandpa, please don't be so polite with me!"
"Consider these plasters a gift from me. Anyway, I picked all the herbs myself on the mountain, so it didn't cost much, just a little time."
"How can that be?" Old Master Qin said hurriedly. "Even if you buy these medicinal herbs in a store, it will still cost money. Not to mention you have to go up the mountain to collect them yourself, which also has costs!"
"How about this, I'll give you 10 yuan for each dose of medicine, is that alright? I just roughly counted, and I've taken about 30 doses in total. I'll take advantage of you, so let's just say 30 doses."
After saying that, Grandpa Qin quickly counted out 30 ten-yuan bills and handed them to Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao genuinely didn't want to accept the money, because for her, being able to make medicine for these seniors and help them alleviate their pain was already a source of great joy and satisfaction.
Just as Shen Xiaoxiao was about to politely refuse again, Dai Xingyun suddenly tugged at her gently and whispered, "There are too many people here, so don't pull or shove. Look, there are more and more people now, so just accept it first."
