Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Photo Was Almost Mistaken
Xing's mother wiped her eyes, full of guilt for her daughter, if it weren't for the family's help, where would they be willing to send their daughter to the countryside.
Although she didn't believe in Xing's mother's tears in her heart, Xing Xiaojuan also had red eyes, no matter what, this is also her parents who have given birth to her and hurt her for more than ten years, she naturally thinks about it in her heart, even if they are extremely patriarchal.
With the arrival of Xing's father and mother, the wedding banquet of Xing Xiaojuan and Zuo Weiguo was also put on the agenda, which also meant that the day when Zuo Weiguo and Lou Jingping and his entourage were leaving was getting closer and closer.
When sorting out the dowry, in addition to the sewing machine, the more conspicuous thing is the pair of pillowcases, touching the bright red happy words on it, Xing's mother was full of admiration, "This is all hand-embroidered, I look at the pattern of magpies climbing the branches, it is really beautiful." ”
It's rare to be able to embroider something bright, Grandma Lou is itchy for a while, and in the middle of the word Xi, she sketches a simple pattern with a single line.
This time, Xing's father and mother not only brought objects that can only be bought in the city, but also brought the sewing machine and the money added by the second daughter-in-law and handed it to Xing Xiaojuan.
Xing Xiaojuan already knew that her second sister-in-law took the sewing machine and money in exchange for the job that her mother left her, and she also knew that her sister-in-law did not give her a penny of dowry because of her awkward work.
She has no pressure to collect things, and she has nothing to say about it, the job is gone, and there are no such things in her previous life, isn't the job still not left to her?
Besides, now she is not uncommon for a position as a car stopper, and the second sister-in-law will let her go if she likes to go.
She never thought that in her previous life, the Xing family had always disagreed with her marrying Zuo Weiguo, and she married directly without waiting for their reply, Xing's father and Xing's mother were very sad, especially Xing's mother, who had suffered from occupational diseases for many years and had almost no way to go to work.
That's it, she also dragged her sick body for two years, just looking forward to the day when her daughter can change her mind, at that time, there were already many educated youths in the city who had retired from illness or returned to the city through other channels, and they had been trying to find a way.
But Xing Xiaojuan has a frame of wanting to take root in the countryside, and with the birth of her granddaughter and grandson one after another, the hope is even slimmer, Xing's mother can no longer hold on, and she has no choice but to retire from illness, and the position is replaced by Xing's second sister-in-law with complaints.
Xing Xiaojuan's eyes rolled, and she handed the pillowcase to Xing's mother, "I remember that my second sister-in-law has only been married to my brother for a year, and if you bring this back, you will say that I gave it to her, and it should be a thank you gift." ”
Xing's mother is naturally unwilling, and her daughter-in-law is a family again, but she has never had a daughter.
But since Xing Xiaojuan knew that this pillowcase was embroidered by Grandma Lou and not Lou Yanni, she didn't want to use this pillowcase at all, and it was just a ready-made excuse to push it out.
Because she went to the cotton mill last time to take a photo, Lou Yanni also saw a lot of photos on the wall of the photo studio, which naturally included a happy family photo, and Lou Yanni had an idea at that time.
Before Lou Jingping went to serve as a soldier, Lou Yanni had been thinking about taking a family photo with her family.
The black and white of Grandpa Lou and Father Lou at home are painted by the master, not a photo, and the same as the filial piety coffin, the old man's black and white are painted in advance, Father Lou passed away because of an accident, when he invited the master to come, he was already buried, although the portrait is very similar, but the eyes are a little wooden.
As early as the year when Grandpa Lou passed away, Grandma Lou asked someone to draw a picture and put it in her own room.
Lou Yanni calculated the money, a little tighter, there was still money to take a family photo, and it happened that she was going to the cotton mill to get the photo taken last time.
When she arrived at the photo studio, when Lou Yanni went to pick up the photos, the photographer also deliberately took out the photos and checked them, and after confirming that it was the main owner, he handed her the letter containing the photos and negatives, "Comrade, I'm sorry, your photo was taken by someone wrong two days ago, you look at the two negatives in it, two of each, it's not less." ”
In fact, the day before yesterday, when he found out that when he chased out, the other party accidentally stained a photo, but the other party apologized very sincerely, and also added the money for the re-washing of the photo, and repeatedly begged the photographer to hide this matter, the photographer thought about it, and the wrong photo was not hidden, but there was a photo that was ruined.
After all, there is always an inexplicable sense of awe and mind about photos, and anyway, photos have now been made up.
It's just that the photo was taken wrong, as long as she didn't lose it, Lou Yanni didn't mind, and her attention was also on washing two of the two negatives, didn't she say that she would take one negative and only wash two of them? took out the photo and looked at it, and sure enough, the photo that Han Rin had moved to discard at the beginning was also washed out.
said that it moved, but in fact, at that moment, Han Rin turned his head to look at Lou Yanni, before the shooting, Lou Yanni's expression was still a little unnatural, the master was adjusting her, and the moment he saw it, the picture froze.
Moreover, there was no ambiguity at all, but it was very clear, including Lou Yanni's bright smile and Han Rin's inexplicably doting eyes.
Seeing that the twins and Lou Jingping came over to see, Lou Yanni blushed slightly, quickly stuffed the photo back, and tried to calm down, "Master, I want you to take a family photo for us today, you see how to take it." ”
This time they didn't change the clothes in the photo studio, they all wore their own old clothes, said they were old clothes, and they picked up the smock that was at least patched during the New Year.
As soon as he walked out of the shed, he met Xing Xiaojuan and Zuo Weiguo, who also came to take photos, and they were followed by Xing Xiaojuan's parents.
"Yanni?" Xing Xiaojuan smiled, stepped forward and pulled her over to introduce Xing's father and Xing's mother, "Dad, Mom, this is a comrade in my production team in the countryside, called Lou Yanni, is my good friend, and now works in the post and telecommunications office." ”
In front of the other party's parents, Lou Yanni didn't have a good chance of refuting Xing Xiaojuan, so she could only cooperate with her and greeted her parents with a smile.
Xing's father and Xing's mother were very happy, they made up for a night yesterday at the Zhiqing Point, and it can be seen that the relationship between the girl and the educated youth is harmonious, the husband and wife were originally worried about the child's friendship, and when they saw Lou Yanni, they were instantly relieved, and they all said that they were born from the heart, Lou Yanni is the kind of appearance that is especially popular with the elderly and children, with a sweet smile and a clean temperament, simple and generous.
Zuo Weiguo stood at the back, his eyes were very indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to Lou Yanni from beginning to end, as if she was just a stranger, but the hands in her trouser pockets were clenched together.
Everyone just said hello, they all had their own things to do, and soon they separated.
Although their commune is not far from the county seat, there is a minibus every day, but this is the first time for Grandma Lou to come to the county seat, she looked at the female workers in work clothes in the cotton mill, holding Lou Yanqiu's hand was a little trembling with excitement.
"Xiaoqiu and Junlin have to study hard, and they will also enter the factory as workers in the future, if they can see such a day, grandma will be able to explain to your father the day when she closes her eyes."
