Chapter 245 Playing
Soon, the group got into the jeep and headed to the photo studio to take a family photo.
This car attracts a lot of attention wherever it goes.
When we arrived at the photo studio, the car stopped.
It was the first time that Grandma Qin and Du Mei had ridden in this kind of vehicle. They saw that they had arrived at their destination, but they didn't know how to open the door and get off. They pushed hard for a long time, but the door didn't budge.
"This... Yunzhou, Suisui, why can't we open this door? Is it broken?"
The two sat in the back seat, staring blankly at each other, trying several times but unable to open the door.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui, who had just gotten out of the passenger seat, quickly came over to help open the door. "Grandma, Xiaomei, the door is open, come down."
After finally getting out of the car, Grandma Qin touched the door handle and suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Qin Yunzhou parked the car.
"We're here, let's go in."
He took another child from the old lady's arms. "Grandma, let me hold this child. Let's take a picture together after we go inside."
Grandma Qin nodded, letting him take the child from her arms.
She's getting old now, so she can hold the baby for a short while, but if she holds him for too long, she gets really tired and her back and legs ache at night.
Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui led the old lady and the others into the photo studio.
Once inside, it was quite lively, with many people taking photos.
They waited quite a while before it was their turn.
The first picture is of everyone standing together.
The old lady, being of advanced age and seniority, stood in the very center, while Du Mei, the old lady's only blood relative in the world, stood beside her.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou each held a child and stood on either side of them.
The photo was taken in a short time.
Next up is a photo of Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou's family of four. The two are sitting on a stool, both wearing military overcoats. They are both handsome and beautiful, with outstanding temperaments. Each of them is holding a child and smiling at the camera.
The experienced photographer can easily take a stunning family photo.
After the shoot, he couldn't help but laugh, "Not bad, not bad."
This is the photo he's been most satisfied with since he started in this line of work.
When we've almost finished filming.
The old lady suggested taking a separate photo, and Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou didn't think much of it, after all, the old lady was now a fashionable one.
Only Du Mei noticed something was amiss. She watched as Grandma Qin seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief after taking the photos, and she felt something was off.
Shouldn't taking photos be a happy occasion? Why does Grandma act like she's accomplished something momentous?
In this day and age, you can't get a photo right away; you have to wait several days.
Next, Qin Yunzhou took his whole family to climb the Great Wall and visit the largest museum in Beijing... Finally, he took them to eat at the largest state-run restaurant in Beijing.
This state-run restaurant sometimes hosts foreign guests and high-ranking officials, so the prices are not low. A single dish can cost several times more than outside, and tickets are required.
Qin Yunzhou didn't tell anyone else about this. He thought that since he had come back so rarely, he should take his whole family out for a good time.
After all, who knows when we'll see each other again?
This was the first time Old Lady Qin had ever seen such a grand state-run restaurant.
The steps at the entrance are wide, and there are many potted plants around them. The door is a heavy, dark wooden door with exquisite carvings on the frame. It has several layers, with arched windows upstairs. The windows also have various neatly arranged carvings, which make it look calm and grand.
Grandma Qin kept looking around, almost forgetting how to walk.
If word got out, people would definitely brag about it.
This was also the first time that Xu Sui and Du Mei had eaten at such a nice state-run restaurant.
I must say, big hotels are just different.
Qin Yunzhou ordered a lot of dishes in one go, most of them meat dishes, such as braised lion's head meatballs, steamed sea bass, and braised pork knuckle...
The food prepared by the level eight chef here is far superior to that of other level eight chefs; they are clearly on a different level. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water, and the presentation is exquisite, making it hard to bring yourself to pick up your chopsticks.
This meal broadened the horizons of the whole family, and they were extremely satisfied with their meal.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they heard that the meal had cost several tens of yuan and included a lot of food coupons.
Grandma Qin and Du Mei were so frightened that their eyes widened.
Good heavens, it's so expensive... this is almost equivalent to the monthly expenses of an average family, no, it's even more than the monthly expenses of an average family.
Although they weren't paying for it themselves, the two of them still felt incredibly distressed at the thought of spending so much money on a single meal.
Fortunately, the group finished all the food on the table, and the old lady didn't waste any of the soup or broth.
After eating until you're stuffed, you take a break, then continue eating, repeating this process until you finish everything. It's not too wasteful.
Xu Sui was also somewhat surprised; the meal was indeed outrageously expensive.
She glanced at Qin Yunzhou and saw him pay the bill and pay the ticket without changing his expression. His movements were very practiced. She immediately realized that he had grown up in a military compound and was once the son of a high-ranking officer. He must have seen this kind of scene before.
And during our visit today, it seemed he could tell you any story, even quoting classical texts, making it easy to listen to him like a storyteller, especially at the largest museum in Beijing.
Xu Sui discovered for the first time that Qin Yunzhou was extremely knowledgeable, and knew almost everything about the origins of those cultural relics. If you didn't know better, you would think he was a museum staff member or a history professor.
Just as the family was leaving the state-run restaurant and about to go home, two people suddenly appeared not far away, a few steps from where they had just stepped out of the restaurant.
"Cloud Boat?"
Qin Yunzhou spotted the people not far away. He paused, then spoke to Xu Sui beside him:
"You take Grandma and the others to the car first. I have something to take care of and I'll come find you later."
"...Okay." Xu Sui wanted to ask something, but when she looked up and followed Qin Yunzhou's gaze, she saw a middle-aged man with a tough and resolute face not far away.
She seemed to understand something, and didn't ask any more questions, only whispering a word of advice.
"We're waiting for you in the car. Come back soon."
"Okay, go ahead." Qin Yunzhou handed the child in his arms over as well, and then walked towards the middle-aged man not far away.
Xu Sui didn't delay any longer. She turned to Qin Laotai and Du Mei, who were somewhat confused, and said, "Let's go. Let's get in the car and wait for him. He ran into an acquaintance and has some things to take care of."
Grandma Qin craned her neck to look in the direction Qin Yunzhou had left, and saw him walk up to a middle-aged man with a stern face. The two seemed to be talking about something.
But it's too far away to hear clearly.
