Huo Yaowen thought for a while and said: "Ten yuan a day, pay the photographer alone, and pay for film and development, if you bump into me, I will compensate." ”

"Ten dollars a day!" the girl's eyes widened in disbelief.

The little girl who led Huo Yaowen over first stood aside with a surprised face, ten yuan a day is not a small number.

"What's going on?"

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties heard the exclamation here, heard the news and walked over, and some nearby staff also leaned over.

When the two girls saw the leader coming, they hurriedly said, "Director Qi." ”

"Well, what's going on?" Director Qi glanced at the two girls, and then looked at Huo Yaowen and his party, he saw that Huo Yaowen was dignified and had a remarkable temperament, not like ordinary people, and he also took the initiative to stretch out his hand and asked, "This comrade doesn't know what he needs help with?"

"Hello Director Qi. Huo Yaowen shook hands with him and said, "That's the case, I want to ask the photo studio to arrange for a master to go home and take pictures." ”

Director Qi raised his eyebrows, looked at the girl standing at the counter, and only heard the girl say: "Yes, this comrade said that he wanted to invite someone to go home and take pictures, but I was afraid that I would bump into it on the road." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "This Director Qi, don't worry, if the camera bumps into it, I will compensate according to the price, I originally wanted to buy one back, but I didn't know how to ask for a ticket, so I can only bother the comrades in the photo studio." ”

Director Qi thought for a while and said, "Yes, but this comrade doesn't know where your home is?"

Huo Yaowen said: "Sanshan Town, Huojia Village. (Fictional Town)

"Sanshan Town!"

"It's far away. ”

"I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to get there by car. ”

The people in the photo studio next to him chattered.

"I don't know where you work, comrade?" Director Qi also wondered.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen took out a letter from the left pocket of his tunic suit, which was a letter written by Director Ma in Guangzhou and a special pass, just because he was afraid that Huo Yaowen would encounter some situations when he returned home, and his identity as a compatriot on Hong Kong Island might not be very convenient.

After reading the letter and the pass, Director Qi understood that this was a compatriot who had returned to his hometown from Hong Kong Island to visit relatives, and immediately smiled: "It turned out to be Comrade Huo, hello, hello." ”

"Director Qi is polite, I don't know what I said just now......" Huo Yaowen smiled and took the envelope and stuffed it into his pocket.

"No problem. Director Qi waved his hand, glanced at the museum, pointed to a middle-aged man in his thirties and said, "Xiao Zhang, this matter will be handed over to you, you will bring the Seagull 203 camera later, and accompany this Comrade Huo home to take pictures." ”

"Ah......" Zhang Chao didn't expect the matter to fall on his head, but this matter was sent by the director, and this person who asked him to take a picture was not an ordinary person, so he could only agree stubbornly: "I know Director Qi." ”

"You might as well tomorrow, Director Qi, let this Comrade Zhang take a car to Sanshan Town in the morning tomorrow, and I will arrange someone to pick him up at that time." Huo Yaowen glanced at his watch, the time was not early, and it was inconvenient to invite this Master Zhang home at this time, so he simply asked him to come over tomorrow.

"Okay, no problem. Director Qi nodded, not caring about this detail.

Then everyone dispersed, and Huo Yaowen found Comrade Zhang alone, said the agreed time, and brought more film or something.

"Got it, it's nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Zhang Chao was not interested.

Huo Yaowen looked a little unhappy when he saw this Comrade Zhang, smiled and said, "Comrade Zhang will trouble you this time, ten yuan a day, and you may need to stay for two or three days." ”

"Two or three days!" Zhang Chao didn't react, and the end was shocked: "You just said ten yuan a day?"

"Well, the film processing is paid separately, and ten yuan a day should be regarded as the travel fee for Comrade Zhang. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Chao was obviously moved, and on weekdays, there were also people in the museum who came to take pictures without permission, mostly to collect a little candy, biscuits, or something, and to give money, but it was really never too much to give ten yuan at once.

"Then it's decided, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I will ask my younger brother to pick you up, and then Comrade Zhang will be waiting at the gate of the Sanshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Huo Yaowen pulled Huo Yaocheng over.

"Okay, okay. Zhang Chao saw that Huo Yaowen said this, glanced around a little weakly, nodded and agreed to Huo Yaowen's proposal of ten yuan a day for errands.

……

When they came out of the photo studio, the three of them went to buy wires together.

Huo Yaowen didn't understand the price of wires in this era, and when he arrived at the state-run hardware store, he asked Huo Yaocheng to buy it.

"Cousin, look there. ”

Huo Huiying suddenly pointed to a private house not far away and said: "When I went to work in the factory the year before last, my father came to the county with me and passed by here, and he said that this house used to belong to the second master's family. ”

My family?!

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he saw an old mansion with obvious Guangdong architectural style, which was located diagonally opposite the road.

The architectural style of this house is very similar to the dwellings of the old Lingnan big house, which is often referred to as the Xiguan big house.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

Huo Yaowen had heard Grandma say that he had an old house in Zhongshan a long time ago, and when he saw it now, he was very curious.

When Huo Yaocheng bought the wires and came out, he led the two of them towards the house.

When I arrived at the front of the house, there was a sign hanging next to the door, "Zhongshan XX Street Office." ”

The gate was open, and a few people from the street office could be vaguely seen working inside.

"Brother, do you want to go in?" Huo Huiying asked a little nervously.

"Forget it, it's not too early, so let's not go in, let's go back. ”

Huo Yaowen thought about it, but decided not to go in to see it, after all, it has been changed to a street office now, if you go in, if others ask, you can't say that this is your old house.

Immediately, he led Huo Yaocheng and Huo Huiying towards the bus stop where they got off before.

Luckily, as soon as I arrived at the bus stop, there was a bus back to Sanshan Town.

Bought a ticket to get on the bus, this time there was an empty seat, the three of them found the last seat to sit down, bumpy all the way, an hour later, they returned to Sanshan Town.

At this time, the market in Sanshan Town was still full of people, and Huo Yaocheng and Huo Huiying saw so many people, and they were afraid that their cousin would get lost, so they followed closely behind them.

When I got to the supply and marketing cooperative, I retrieved the bicycle from my cousin.

When he was about to ride back to the village, Huo Yaowen suddenly thought of the candy and biscuits that his cousin gave them before, and after thinking about it, he took out a big unity from his pocket, thinking that it should be enough to pay for these things in his hand, and handed it to Huo Yaocheng: "Yaocheng, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to get this money to your cousin now, and treat it as the candy and biscuit money given by your cousin before." ”

"Huh?" Huo Yaocheng was stunned, he didn't understand why he had to give money for what his cousin gave, just give it, this money is too much, and those cookies and candies are not worth ten yuan.

He was about to say something, but Huo Yaowen interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take it, if your cousin doesn't accept it, you will just throw it on the counter and run back." ”

"Oh, got it. ”

Huo Yaocheng didn't understand, but he still carried out his cousin's order very honestly, handed a paper bag of candy to Huo Huiying, and ran back to the supply and marketing cooperatives with the money, and after a few minutes, he ran back panting and said: "Give it to my cousin, my cousin didn't accept it before, I just threw it on the counter and ran back." ”

"Well, just give it, let's go home. ”

Saying that, Huo Yaowen stepped on the bicycle, and Huo Yaocheng also sat in the back seat when he saw this.

Huo Huiying also hurriedly and desperately pedaled to follow.
