Yulin opened a light and shadow photo studio at No. 55 Luban Road, and Tiger Boy is now a capable leader in the photo studio, and Shuxian will help out when she is free on weekends.

The opening of the new store attracted many customers because of Yulin's good photography skills and the favorable price at the time of opening.

"Shuxian, I think it's time to meet Du Xueqian. I would like to learn from him about the situation in Chongqing. ”

"Okay, anyway, the spies at the entrance of the alley in Jixiangli have been withdrawn, I'll go back and meet Mrs. Du and ask Du Xueqian to come to the photo studio, what do you think?"

"Yes, just meet in the photo studio, it's safer here."

"Then I'll go to Jixiangli now."

Shuxian returned to Jixiangli, and as soon as Mrs. Du saw her, she immediately greeted her.

"Mrs. Ouyang, Nong is finally back? Where has Nong been, I haven't seen Nong come for a few days. I thought the couple was missing. ”

"Two days ago, I helped my husband and cousin go to Zhejiang to buy some goods, and Ira said that there is a batch of herbs in Hangzhou Huqing Yutang that is sold at a low price, and I want to go to buy a little, I happen to have a relative in Hangzhou, so I went with Ella."

"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen Nong in the past few days, Mr. Ouyang also went to Hangzhou together?"

Mrs. Du originally wanted to ask Mr. Ouyang, who was not skilled in cards, to play mahjong, but she didn't expect that Mr. Ouyang seemed to be missing, and she didn't see anyone for a few days.

"Yi didn't go with Allah, Yi was busy opening in the photo studio, uh thing, yesterday the photo studio opened, I remembered that I told Nong last time that I wanted to help Nong take a 20-inch portrait, so I came back and asked Nong to take a photo."

When Mrs. Du heard this, her heart was full of joy, and her eyes smiled like two crescents.

"Oh, Mrs. Ouyang, Nong is really a caring person, I will talk about it casually, and Nong will remember it in my heart."

"Mrs. Du, Mr. Du is cutting in the house today?"

"Yi is in the house."

"It's the best of the best, those two people just went to take a group photo. How many years have you been married this year? ”

"It's been ten years, yes, it's been ten years."

"Ten years of marriage is called a tin wedding, and every ten is a big day, so you have to celebrate it."

"Tin marriage?" Mrs. Du asked curiously.

"It's gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, tin, tin, tin and tin on the wedding anniversary, and ask the gentleman to send gold jewelry."

"Yes, yes, it's going to be an anniversary, I'll call Alaadhu up right away. Mrs. Ouyang, wait for a rest. ”

"Okay, I'll go upstairs first, and I'll call me hello."

"Good, good."

After a while, Du Xueqian was pushed out of the bedroom by Mrs. Du in his pajamas.

"What are you doing? I happened to be dreaming and was woken up by Nong. Du Xueqian's face was distressed and helpless.

"Mrs. Ouyang kindly asked Allah to take pictures, what are you doing with nonsense, hurry up, hurry up, don't let Mrs. Ouyang wait too long for the morning." Mrs. Du stuffed her suit jacket into Du Xueqian's hand: "Hurry up and get dressed, and you still look like Mu Zhimu Jue." ”

Du Xueqian shook his head and sighed: "Oh, Nong is no longer a little girl, Nong is already an old vegetable skin, and it doesn't look good when it comes out." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Ouyang, the level of taking pictures, Mrs. Ouyang said that as long as I put on makeup, it is not as good as Zhou Xuan, Hu Die, and Jiang Lili."

"Oh, people take it seriously after a few words, Nong is so good to compare with Hu Die, Nong is at most a stinging caterpillar."

Mrs. Du knocked Du Xueqian on the chestnut: "Nong looks at Nong Ge personally, and when he talks about cutting and speaking, he will speak loudly, yes, I will talk about listening to Nong, this year is the tenth anniversary of Ala's marriage, it is a tin wedding, it is a big day, Nong wants to buy some gold jewelry for me." ”

"There is still no gold jewelry, huh? Every year, it is added. When Du Xueqian heard this, his brows furrowed again, and he felt that Mrs. Du looked like a bottomless pit.

"It's different this year, I'm going to buy a little more this year. Allah has been squatting for a few decades, and Nong is talking about it? Mrs. Du was full of words.

"It's true to change some gold bars, but now the banknotes are not worth the money, and you can consider changing some hard goods to hide in the house."

"Gold bars have to be changed, and jewelry has to be bought."

"Nondie is greedy and not enough to swallow elephants. Okay, okay, I'm already dressed, and I'm going to call Mrs. Ouyang to come down. ”

Mrs. Du ran to the patio and shouted upstairs, and Shuxian hurriedly answered and came downstairs.

Shuxian took Du Xueqian and Mrs. Du to the light and shadow photo studio.

Yulin was taking pictures of other customers, and Shuxian led them to the dressing room.

"Mr. Du, I'll help Mrs. Du put on makeup first, and Nong will rest beside her."

"Okay, okay, Mrs. Ouyang, is the Nong Geyi photo studio very well decorated, I appreciate it."

"Okay, Mr. Du, Please."

Du Xueqian walked outside and admired the layout and decoration of the photo studio.

"Madam, Nong will come and get the picture in three days." Yu Lin was busy collecting money and making a bill: "Madam, Nong is good." ”

Yu Lin saw Du Xueqian wandering around, so he stepped forward to say hello: "Is this gentleman also here to take pictures?" ”

Du Xueqian turned his head and nodded: "Yes, Ala's wife is putting on makeup in the inner compartment, and Nong is Mr. Ouyang, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, you're Mr. Du." Yu Lin shook hands with Du Xueqian.

"yes, yes."

"Mr. Du is very familiar, I can't remember where I saw you for a while."

"Yes? Listening to Nong's speech, I still think Nong is a little familiar. Let me think about where I've seen Nong. When Du Xueqian heard Yu Lin say this, he couldn't help but look carefully at the photographer in front of him.

"Has Mr. Du ever been to Guangzhou?" Yu Lin reminded.

"Oh, I remembered, yes, yes, as soon as Nong mentioned Guangzhou, I remembered, Nong is Lu Yulin, is Va?"

"You are Du Xueqian. I'm not mistaken. Yu Lin pretended to be surprised and screamed.

"Ah, old classmate, how can it be a coincidence, uh, I actually ran into Nong here." Du Xueqian and Lu Yulin hugged each other.

"Come, old classmate, let's go upstairs for a cup of tea and sit down and have a good talk."

Yu Lin took Du Xueqian to the upstairs lounge, and Tiger Boy brought tea to the two.

"Come, Brother Du, please have tea. Ah, it's been more than ten years. ”

"yes, it's been more than ten years, I didn't expect Allah to be able to see it, it's too small to be in the world. Hey, isn't Nong's name Lu Yulin? How can you change your name to Ouyang? Du Xueqian took a sip of the teacup.

"Ouyang Rui is my pen name, and I work as a reporter at "Declaration". This photo studio is my side hustle. ”

"How can Nong come to Shanghai? I seem to remember that the room in the house is one of the few people in Guangzhou, uh, there are banknotes, at that time everyone called Nong Xiguan Dashao. ”

"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, and the family is in the middle of the road, and they can only rely on climbing the lattice to eat." Lu Yulin shook his head and sighed.

"How can you become a Ge Neng?" Du Xueqian didn't expect that the young man of Xiguan back then would be so depressed now, so strange.

"Several of my father's factories and companies were destroyed in the bombing of Guangzhou. Later, many merchants came to collect debts, so we fled to Shanghai, and I didn't dare to take the surname Lu, so I changed my mother's surname. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Genen. I've counted, and I'll still call Nong Mr. Ouyang on the next public occasion. ”

"Thank you Brother Du for your understanding, what about you, Brother Du, where are you tall?"

"I'm doing business with my Chongqing cousin now."

"Is business hard right now?" Lu Yulin added some tea to Du Xueqian.

"It depends on who you do business with." Du Xueqian took a sip of tea triumphantly.

"Who are you doing business with?" Yu Lin glanced at Du Xueqian.

Du Xueqian smiled and didn't answer, so Lu Yulin stopped talking knowingly and didn't delve into it anymore.

"It seems that Brother Du is mixing well now." Yu Lin looked at Du Xueqian's face full of spring and energetic, so he flattered.

"So-so, so-so." Du Xueqian snorted proudly.

"Alas, I think back then, we all had the dream of serving the country, we were full of spirit, high-spirited, and wanted to change the world, but I didn't expect that in the end, we all changed course and took off our military uniforms." Yu Lin recalled the time of the year and couldn't help but sigh.

"At the beginning, I was too young and ignorant and impulsive, but now that I think about it, if Ala Ye hadn't pulled me back to Shanghai from the military academy, maybe I would have become cannon fodder a long time ago." Du Xueqian picked up the teacup and blew the tea leaves.

"Yes, the sword and gun have no eyes, and the artillery fire is merciless."

"So I'm still quite grateful to my grandfather, uh, what's the ambition to serve the country, the righteousness of the nation, it's all nonsense, how can it be compared to real money, Yulin, Nong is cutting?"

Lu Yulin smiled: "It seems that Brother Du's real money is not less, Brother Du, brother I am short of money now, I want to follow you to earn some real money, are you willing to take my brother and me to make a fortune together?" ”

Yulin threw stones and asked for directions, wanting to see Du Xueqian's reaction.

Du Xueqian laughed: "Brother Lu is telling a joke, Nong's photo studio here has just opened, and Nong has found an errand in the newspaper again, will Nong still be short of banknotes?" ”

"Brother Du is laughing at me, this photo will not be taken until the Year of the Monkey to make a fortune, rely on me to write articles to earn manuscript fees? I'm afraid that I won't be able to make a fortune if I write it until my hand is broken. I think back then, I was also the owner of money who didn't treat money as money, but I didn't expect to be so depressed now, making a living by writing articles. It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. ”

"Oh, brother, Nong doesn't have to sigh in front of me, in fact, as long as Nong has the courage and connections, I'm not unwilling to take Nong to make a fortune."

"Really? Brother Du, are you really willing to take me to get rich together? Yu Lin hurriedly leaned forward, seemingly interested in Du Xueqian's response.

"If you have money, you can make money, brother, do you know anyone in the army?"

"The army? Brother Du is saying that you and your cousin are both trading with the army? Yu Lin looked at Du Xueqian with wide eyes.

"Didn't you scare the paralyzed nong?" Du Xueqian laughed.

"That's not all, when you mentioned the army, I thought of General Jiang Guangnai, who was on the same street as us in Guangzhou, and he used to be the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army."

"Jiang Guangnai is already in the past, and the 19th Route Army has long been revoked. In fact, it doesn't have to be the Kuomintang army, the ** army can also do business, and the business of Ila uh is much easier. ”

"Why is that?"

"Ira mostly needs medicine and food, and pays the money with one hand and delivers the goods with the other, there is no other mess uh, unlike in the Kuomintang army, there are many old relationships, and you have to feed those who have the power in their hands, otherwise, Ira will kick Nong away."

"Really? So hard? Yu Lin looked at Du Xueqian puzzled.

"That's right, there is a person, say it, Nong also recognizes it, Yi can be regarded as a fish in water now, and the spring breeze is proud. The customs personnel have to stammer, and if I didn't have a relationship with my cousin, it would be difficult for me to get into the eyes of Yi. Du Xueqian took a sip of tea and revealed to Yulin: "It's true that people can't look good, and the sea can't fight." ”

"I know too? Who are you talking about? Yulin didn't expect to have his own acquaintances in Chongqing.
