"You are awesome! It's much earlier than I expected.
The wholesale price is also very good, and my bottom line is that I can save four dollars."
Qian Xiaolan gave Hongmi a thumbs up.
"I'm a man of my words. In two days, we'll go to Anshi together to look at the store."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Hongmi jumped up excitedly.
After the two of them finished the handover, Gu Xingyao couldn't help but say, "Fourth Aunt, Cousin, can we continue taking pictures? If we don't, it will be dark soon."
Qian Xiaolan chuckled and waved at him: "Okay, go call your aunt and uncle and aunt over."
"Oh yeah!"
A group of children ran away cheering.
Qian Xiaolan went back into the house to get the camera.
When Gu Shengli saw the camera, he immediately said, "Xiaolan, save a few photos for us later. We will take photos of the mule shed tomorrow."
Facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, Gu Shengli clapped his hands and said:
"Well, I have an idea. Let's go take a picture of the current situation in the village tomorrow. When the village develops, we won't be able to see it anymore."
This was a good idea and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry about the film. I just found two more rolls at the bottom of the box. If it's still not enough, we can go to Anshi to buy some more some other day."
Qian Xiaolan's words of wealth and prestige made everyone's heart ache.
Hu Guifen reached out and patted her: "Child, this film costs money, and developing a photo is also so expensive, with this money, why don't you do something else?"
Qian Xiaolan thought about it and turned back to the house, carrying something out.
Everyone was dumbfounded. "What is this? Is it also a camera? But this is too big, isn't it?"
Qian Xiaolan patted the big thing and smiled: "The camera can record."
Gu Yanqing looked at this helplessly and held his forehead with his hand. His wife was treating everyone as fools.
However, it turns out that no one really thought much about it.
After all, when they came back, they carried a lot of bags.
Even Hu Guifen didn’t know what Qian Xiaolan had packed, let alone others.
When everyone heard that they could record a video, they were excited.
Everyone wanted to go forward to take a look, but were afraid of breaking the machine, so they all stood far away, craning their necks to look.
This scene was really funny. Qian Xiaolan laughed and waved at them: "I'll put it on the table. You can look at it if you want. It's not made of tofu. How can it go bad so easily?"
Everyone then tiptoed over and looked at the table from half a meter away for a while.
Only Mrs. Gu was brave enough to touch the machine, but was slapped by Hu Guifen:
"Be careful with your claws. If you damage this precious thing, you won't be able to open your store."
Mrs. Gu pouted and withdrew her hand, then grinned again, like a living treasure.
There were still people here who hadn't gotten a close look, but the children over there had already come running back.
"Aunt Four, let's call our aunt and uncle and aunt, can we start taking pictures?"
After Gu Xingyao finished speaking, he suddenly saw the camera on the table and his eyes widened instantly:
"Wow, why did you change to another camera? You are so rich, Auntie!"
Qian Xiaolan laughed and patted his shoulder: "First, line up your brothers and sisters, then tell the adults to stand in line, and we will take the photo right away."
When Gu Xingyao heard this, he immediately displayed his brother's authority and said with a stern face:
"Gu Xingyue, Gu Xingyu and Gu Xingyang stood in front and squatted down, and Gu Xinglang also squatted down.
Gu Xingrou and Gu Xingjie stood in the middle, holding Gu Xinghua’s hand. ”
"Dear elders, please bring some stools over. There will be one row for sitting in the middle and one row for standing in the back."
Gu Xingyao's arrangement shocked everyone.
Hu Guifen slapped him on the back and praised him with a smile:
"You are a good kid, this arrangement is quite reasonable."
Gu Xingyao raised his chin proudly, his TV series were not watched in vain!
After everyone was standing in place, Qian Xiaolan took two photos of everyone and called a soldier to help take two complete family photos.
After that, Gu Yanqing took the camera to take family portraits of Gu Shengli's family and Hu Laoshi's family, and took some more photos for the children who didn't get enough photos.
Qian Xiaolan quietly turned on the camera and recorded this chaotic yet warm scene.
Gu Xingyao had very sharp eyes. He was the first to notice that Qian Xiaolan was recording a video, and then he started making all kinds of faces in front of the camera.
Qian Xiaolan recorded the whole process of trying not to laugh.
Afterwards, all of his footage was edited out separately and burned onto a disc.
Many years later, when everyone had grown up, Qian Xiaolan gave this special gift to the serious lawyer Gu Xingyao, which almost made him socially dead.
However, I was really moved. When I was alone, I kept replaying these memories and crying.
Right now, apart from Gu Xingyao who was still doing all kinds of funny things, the other children were also laughing and playing.
Even the adults gradually relaxed, from having stern faces at the beginning to laughing and joking in front of the camera.
Everyone was having so much fun taking photos that by the time they came to their senses, it was already past dinner time.
Qian Xiaolan made the decision as soon as she saw the time.
"Let's eat in the yard today and have hotpot.
The sisters-in-law washed vegetables and cut meat. Gu Laoba and several brothers and cousins killed chickens and fish, cleaned up the yard, set up two simple stoves, moved some tables and benches, and brought in coal stoves from several families.
Yujiao took her two cousins to make some noodles.
Mom, Dad and a few elders look after the children while I cook the soup base."
Everyone started working according to Qian Xiaolan's arrangements.
The eight warriors looked at each other, four of them went out, and the other four continued to observe the surroundings.
When the fragrance wafted from the yard, two soldiers came back, one carrying a wild goat and the other carrying three rabbits.
When everyone saw this, they all praised them for their skills.
The two soldiers smiled and said to Qian Xiaolan:
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat braised rabbit meat."
"Sister-in-law, I heard that mutton hotpot is delicious."
"Okay, you guys go and clean up, I'll do it." Qian Xiaolan almost drooled when she saw the wild sheep.
Slurp, mutton hotpot, mutton offal soup, these are great to drink in this winter!
They were all people who were used to doing the work, so they cleaned up quickly.
The vegetables were washed and laid out one by one, and the chicken and fish were also prepared.
Wild sheep and rabbits were also taken out.
Qian Xiaolan picked out the mutton with good quality and asked them to cut it into thin slices, and threw the bones and chicken into the soup base.
I also heated up another pot to make braised rabbit meat.
In an instant, the whole yard was filled with rich fragrance.
The children couldn't bear it anymore, so they all stood in a circle, surrounding Qian Xiaolan and swallowing their saliva constantly.
After the soup base was ready, Qian Xiaolan divided it into five equal portions and poured them into five pots on the coal stoves.
As there were several young children who could not drink too much mutton soup and were afraid to eat spicy food, Qian Xiaolan kept a little of the original soup and directly added some noodles to it for them to eat.
Everything was ready, and the other two soldiers who had gone out also came back.
The men's eyes lit up when they saw what they were carrying.
