Suddenly, Ning Shu remembered the food app.
The food app could take photos.
She decided when the photos would be updated.
She could capture this scene, then set it for many years later when the app’s AI woke up, perhaps it could help her extract these photos.
She had no choice.
After all, only she could see the food app, which meant that the photos she took with the food app couldn’t be taken by other cameras in this era.
With this in mind, Ning Shu slowed down, letting Lin Guodong and the three children walk ahead, and then she took photos from behind them.
Sanbao was lying on Dad’s back. Seeing Mom manipulating poses behind, he was very curious, then smiled at his mom and waved his little hand, “Mom…”
Ning Shu watched his waving hand and took a snapshot.
Sanbao couldn’t see the camera, but seeing his mom’s hand making gestures, he thought she was playing with him, so he waved his little hand too.
The twins sat in the bucket, one in front and one in the back. Yibao and Erbao saw his mom’s movements too and waved back.
In Ning Shu’s eyes, it was the children possing, so cute. She immediately took several more photos.
Finally, she took photos from the side, front, whether it was the three children or Lin Guodong, she got addicted to taking photos.
Transmigrating into a novel world, she even experienced the joy of being a photographer.
Or rather, it was the joy of photographing her own children and husband.
Yibao looked at his mom, then looked at his dad with a puzzled expression, “Dad, what is mom doing?”
Lin Guodong: “… I don’t know. It looks like she wants to take photos, but…”
She didn’t have a camera in her hand.
Yibao thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “I know, my mom must want to take photos. Dad, what is taking photos?”
Lin Guodong: “… Taking photos is taking pictures, capturing your appearance.”
After thinking for a moment, he added, “Maybe your mom wants to take photos. We haven’t taken a family photo yet. Next time when dad is resting, I’ll take you to get photos taken.”
Yibao was a bit confused, not understanding what taking photos meant.
Ning Shu didn’t know what the father and son were talking about.
She took quite a few photos, set them up, and then rejoined them.
As soon as she rejoined them, Yibao asked, “Mom, did you want to take photos just now? Dad said he’ll take us to get photos taken when he’s resting. Mom, what’s taking photos?”
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows, immediately realizing, “Yes, I was just looking to see that if we go take photos, that would be the best look. Taking photos is capturing your appearance and printing it on paper, that’s called a photo. Then we can send your photos to Grandpa and Grandma and Haicai. When they see your photos, they’ll know it’s you.”
Yibao asked, “Is it like the pictures in books?”
“Yes, yes, yes, our Yibao is so clever.” Ning Shu gave him a thumbs up.
Yibao smiled shyly.
“When should we go take photos then? I want my appearance to be on paper. I want to become the character in the comic book. Mom, can I do that?” Erbao’s idea was out of this world.
Ning Shu was stunned by his words.
She knew Erbao had a big imagination, but she never thought it was this big.
She needed to think about how to answer this question.
Lin Guodong spoke up, “We can’t change the pictures in books to pictures of people ourselves, but there’s a way.”
“What way?” Ning Shu asked.
“Dad, what way?” Erbao also asked with wide eyes.
Yibao also looked up at his dad’s back of the head, thinking if he could also have his picture printed in a book.
Lin Guodong’s lips curved up. “As long as you study hard and are smart enough, your picture can be printed in books, so that every child who reads can see you.”
“Wow? Wouldn’t everyone know me then?” Erbao was somewhat longing for it.
Yibao didn’t say anything, but his eyes also showed emotion.
Ning Shu: “… Indeed a good idea. Erbao, you have to work hard.”
“Yes, I will work hard.” Lin Erbao, who had a new idea every day, now wanted to have his picture printed in a book so that every child would know him.
The family finally arrived at the military camp.
They passed the guard post and entered smoothly.
However, Lin Guodong, the company commander, was piggyback riding Sanbao on his head, while Yibao and Erbao was in a bucket carried by Lin Guodong..
Attracting salutes from the soldiers at the guard post.
There is a saying that goes like this, as long as I’m not embarrassed, then it’s embarrassing for others.
Lin Guodong a company commander, was like this now. He walked in without changing his expression, ignoring how others looked at him.
Ning Shu said, “We’re already inside, let them walk. They are also little men who care about their face.”
Erbao had thought it was fun to be carried by his dad, but when he heard his mom say that, he immediately said, “Dad, I want to get down.”
He was becoming a little man and needed to learn to walk on his own.
Thinking he was a little man, Erbao didn’t realize he was being led by his mom.
So, Erbao got out of the wooden barrel, and Yibao couldn’t sit still either.
Both brothers started walking, and Sanbao also wanted to walk on his own.
The family of five arrived home.
Ning Shu checked the time and saw that it was about four o’clock.
She said to Lin Guodong, “Go tell Li Zao and the comrades from the kitchen that they can come to our house for dinner tonight. I’ll start preparing dinner.”
“Okay.”
As Lin Guodong left, Ning Shu prepared the ingredients for dinner.
There were washed eggplants, Chinese cabbage, and radishes at home.
She planned to make braised radishes, cabbage in broth, braised eggplant, steamed cured meat, and scrambled eggs.
The main staple, of course, was white rice. They had the equivalent of 200 catties of rice.
“Mom, do you need help?” Yi Bao asked as he approached the kitchen door.
“No need, you two go play. You can go outside and explore, get familiar with this place,” Ning Shu said. In the family courtyard, she wasn’t worried about accidents.
“Okay.” Yi Bao got his mother’s permission and took Erbao and San Bao out of their yard.
They lingered at the entrance of their yard for a while, looking around, but no one was there.
So, Yi Bao took the lead and walked a few steps outside again. “Er Bao, go get the cloth ball, we’ll play here,” he said.
“Okay.” Er Bao ran into the house to find the cloth ball.
Actually, although the family courtyard was not big, it was big enough for the children to play with the cloth ball. But the children just liked to play outside.
The three children had only been playing with the cloth ball for a while when they heard voices.
It turned out to be the preschool children getting out of school.
The military school had a nursery, primary school, junior high school, and high school. The nursery accepted children over three years old, and the primary school was from preschool to fifth grade.
After nursery, they went to preschool. With a good foundation in preschool, first grade was much easier.”
“What are you playing?” A little girl looked at them playing and couldn’t help but ask.
“We’re playing with the cloth ball,” Er Bao said. “It’s more fun with four people, two people on each team. Do you want to play?”
“I’ll play.” Zhang Qian, who had never played this game before, found it very interesting.
She put her school bag on the ground. “How do you play?”
Er Bao was about to explain when he realized that the rules were too complicated. He said, “Brother, you explain.”
Yi Bao nodded and explained to Zhang Qian, “It’s two people on a team. We throw the ball back and forth. If you don’t catch it, you lose. If one person loses, the whole team loses. The losers have to be punished.”
Zhang Qian thought this was acceptable. “What kind of punishment?” she asked.
“We’ll spank the loser,” Er Bao said. “If you lose, you get a spanking.”
Hearing this, Zhang Qian’s face turned red. “You guys are bullies! I’m not playing with you anymore.” With that, she picked up her school bag and ran back to her neighbor’s house.
Er Bao was dumbfounded. “Bro, what does ‘bullies’ mean?”
Yi Bao shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Yi Bao then said, “Well, since she’s gone, let’s play by ourselves.”
“Okay.”
So, the three of them continued playing by themselves.
Zhang Qian ran into the house, feeling more and more angry.
Since she was young, her family had taught her to protect herself.
She didn’t expect that the boy outside would try to bully her.
Zhang Qian felt extremely wronged. Feeling wronged, she went to Ning Qin to complain. “Mom, I was almost bullied by the boy outside just now. He wanted to spank me.”
Ning Qin had taken a nap at noon and was now in good spirits.
The doctor said that during pregnancy, you shouldn’t lie in bed all the time; you should walk around a bit.
So, at this moment, she was walking around the house slowly.
Hearing Zhang Qian’s aggrieved words, she frowned. “Whose boy is this? Why would he do that?”
Although Ning Qin hoped that her own children would be more favored than Zhang Qian, she still cared about Zhang Qian.
How could anyone want to spank Zhang Qian?
“I don’t know, just some boy playing outside, playing at the door,” Zhang Qian pouted.
“When Dad comes home, I’m going to tell him they tried to bully me.”
When Ning Qin heard that Zhang Qian wanted to tell Zhang Xian, she immediately said, “Xiao Qian, take me to see.”
She knew how much Zhang Xian cherished Zhang Qian; even Zhang Jia Lao treated Zhang Qian like the apple of his eye.
Now that Zhang Qian was being bullied, if she found out without being told, how would Zhang Xian view her?
So, Ning Qin knew she had to go.
“Okay, Mom, they’re right outside, I’ll take you.” Zhang Qian stood tall and led her mom.
But she also knew her mom was pregnant with a little brother, so she didn’t pull her mom but supported her instead.
Ning Qin and Zhang Qian arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. Zhang Qian said, “Mom, it’s them.”
Ning Qin saw three little boys playing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Two were older, and one couldn’t even walk steadily. But those two older boys didn’t seem much older than Zhang Qian? How could they bully her?
However, she had been with Zhang Qian for almost half a year and knew Zhang Qian’s personality.
She wouldn’t make up things.
So, Ning Qin decided to find out the situation first. “Xiao Qian, tell Mom the details. How did they bully you?”
“It’s like this…” Zhang Qian explained about the game they were playing and how the loser would get a spanking. “Mom, I’m a girl, how can boys spank me? Isn’t that being a bully?”
Ning Qin listened.
Although nothing had happened, Zhang Qian understood how to protect herself.
If Zhang Qian hadn’t known how to protect herself, what if the boys had actually spanked her? Because of this incident, Ning Qin felt it was necessary to communicate with the other party’s parents.
