"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and obtained... Would you like to claim it?"
Despite the lack of double rewards this year, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun still used up all their sign-in rewards. They didn't receive any other special rewards this time, only items they had already signed in with. Although it wasn't double, each item was still quite useful, and Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun were quite satisfied.
After signing in, it was almost evening. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun quickly came out of the space and left the room.
Outside the room, Lin Yunfeng and Lin Jianguo had already put up the Spring Festival couplets, while Zhao Xi and Dong Xiulan were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Lin Qing hurriedly went to help.
Gu Nanxun went to play chess with Lin Jianguo and Lin Yunfeng, and soon a delicious New Year's Eve dinner was ready.
Everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting, when suddenly Lin Qing said with a smile, "Mom, let's take a family photo together tomorrow!"
They took photos last year too, but Gu Nianqing and Zhao Xi weren't in the photos. This year they're taking a few more, and they've brought their camera with them all the time.
"Great! It's good that Nianqing and Xixi are here this year. It's a pity that your eldest and second brothers aren't here!"
Speaking of taking a family photo, Dong Xiulan thought of Lin Qing's eldest and second eldest brothers, and couldn't help but say disappointedly.
"It's okay, Mom, there will be a chance."
Lin Qing smiled and comforted her.
"Alright, let's eat, let's not talk about unhappy things!" Lin Jianguo said quickly when he saw that Dong Xiulan was in a low mood.
"No... let's not talk about that, let's eat!"
Dong Xiulan snapped out of her daze, wiped her eyes, and then said with a smile.
The family enjoyed a happy New Year's Eve dinner. After dinner, Lin Qing, Zhao Xi, and Dong Xiulan cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, while Gu Nanxun and Lin Yunfeng prepared some fruit, melon seeds, tea, and other refreshments. Once everyone had finished cleaning up, they sat around the table to listen to the radio. Lin Qing thought regretfully that they had a television set but couldn't bring it out.
Soon it was midnight. After the clock struck midnight, everyone ate some dumplings and went back to rest.
When Lin Qing returned to her space, she received New Year's gifts from her friends in other dimensions. Lin Qing also gave her New Year's gifts that she had prepared for her friends before going to sleep with Gu Nanxun.
As soon as Gu Nianqing entered the space, Lin Qing sent her to Duobao, and Gu Nianqing happily hugged Duobao and entered into cultivation.
I slept without any dreams...
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Qing, Gu Nanxun and the others went to the courtyard to take a family photo.
Lin Jianguo looked at the camera in Gu Nanxun's hand and immediately said he wanted to take pictures for everyone. Gu Nanxun then taught Lin Jianguo how to use the camera.
Lin Jianguo directed everyone to take their positions, then shouted loudly, "Look at the camera, everyone, and smile!"
Dong Xiulan said with a smile, "Old man, don't just give us orders, smile a little yourself too."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianguo quickly grinned, but it looked like he was crying, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Qing seized the opportunity and quickly pressed the shutter, capturing this joyful family photo.
After the shoot, Lin Qing suggested, "How about we strike some interesting poses?"
Everyone responded enthusiastically, striking all sorts of funny poses, which brought another round of laughter.
"Old Lin, what are you and your family doing?"
Just as everyone was laughing happily, a head suddenly popped up on the wall next door and loudly asked Lin Jianguo a question.
The person asking the question was Old Zhang from next door. He went to the yard to get something and heard bursts of laughter coming from Lin Qing's yard, so he couldn't help but stand on a stool and look towards Lin Qing's house.
"You old Zhang, when did you learn to spy?"
When Lin Jianguo saw Lao Zhang pop out, he couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
"How can you blame me? Your laughter could have reached my yard. I was just curious what you were laughing about."
Old Zhang rolled his eyes and said with a speechless expression.
"Alright, alright, go ahead and do your thing! Don't disturb our family taking pictures."
Lin Jianguo waved to Lao Zhang and said.
"Taking photos? You have a camera at home!"
Old Zhang heard Lin Jianguo and the others taking pictures, so he asked curiously, and then turned his attention to the camera set up in the yard.
"Yes, see? This is a camera, a Seagull brand. My son-in-law gave it to my daughter."
Lin Jianguo proudly introduced it to Lao Zhang.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun couldn't help but smile.
Old Zhang curled his lip and said with feigned disdain, "You old codger got off easy. Alright, you guys take the pictures, I won't bother you anymore."
After Lao Zhang left, everyone started taking photos again. They took many family photos as well as many individual photos.
"Nanxun, when you develop the photos, make a few more copies. I want to send one to Hongzhi and one to Changyuan."
After taking the photos, Dong Xiulan said to Gu Nanxun.
"Okay, Mom, no problem. I'll wash a couple more copies and mail one to each of my older brothers."
Gu Ranxun replied with a smile after hearing Dong Xiulan's instructions.
Dong Xiulan nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Qing's family had a falling out with her grandparents, and her maternal grandparents had been sent to the countryside, so they didn't need to visit relatives during the Spring Festival.
So, having nothing to do in the afternoon, the two of them locked themselves in the room to develop photos. Gu Nanxun had specially learned how to develop photos because Lin Qing liked taking pictures, and since the color photos Lin Qing had taken in her space couldn't be taken out for others to develop, Gu Nanxun had to learn how to develop them himself. Moreover, Gu Nanxun had developed all of Lin Qing's previous photos himself.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon in the room and finally got the photos developed by evening.
Gu Nanxun had six sets of photos printed: one set for himself and Qingqing, one set for Lin Jianguo and Dong Xiulan, one set for Zhao Xi because she hadn't married Lin Yunfeng yet, one set for Lin Yunfeng, one set for his eldest brother Lin Hongzhi, and one set for his second brother Lin Changyuan.
"Mom, the photos are developed. I'll help mail the photos of my eldest and second brothers tomorrow. Mom, is there anything else that needs to be mailed together? Should we write a letter and mail it along with it?"
Gu Nanxun handed the photos of Lin Jianguo and Dong Xiulan to Dong Xiulan, and then said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Nanxun. I'll write a letter tonight and prepare some things. Thank you for making the trip tomorrow."
Dong Xiulan took the photos, a bright smile spreading across her face. When she heard that Gu Nanxun was going to send photos to his eldest son, Lin Hongzhi, and his second son, Lin Changyuan, the next day, her smile grew even brighter.
That evening, Dong Xiulan and Lin Jianguo wrote two letters together, then prepared two meals and handed them to Gu Nanxun. Gu Nanxun took some things from his spatial storage and added them in, then packed two bundles and placed them in the room, preparing to mail them the next day.
