He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Cousin, I promise you." I'll help you find out the whereabouts of Xiaoyan and Xiaoming, and you won't tell my dad about me beating people with sandbags. ”

Zhu Xiaohua deliberately pondered for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed: "However, you have done bad things and hurt people." ”

Huang Jun's face turned pale with fright: "I didn't mean to. ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Forget it, who made me your cousin." I promise you won't say it. However, you have to help me eavesdrop on your father's words until I find Zhu Xiaoyan and Zhu Xiaoming. ”

When Huang Jun heard that Zhu Xiaohua promised not to say anything, he said happily: "I will definitely help you eavesdrop on my father." ”

Zhu Xiaohua stretched out his little thumb and said, "Come, pull the hook and hang yourself, this is our secret, you must not let your father know when you eavesdrop." Who informed, dreamed of imps. ”

Huang Jun stretched out his little thumb, hooked Zhu Xiaohua's, nodded heavily, and said, "Don't let my dad know." ”

After the two discussed, Zhu Xiaohua let Huang Jun go down and let him walk home by himself.

He rode back to the family compound of the tractor factory.

The next day, Zhu Xiaohua took the seagull camera to the Los Angeles Grottoes Scenic Area.

He decided to continue to squat at the gate of the scenic spot, he believed that since his younger brother Zhu Xiaoming appeared here a few days ago, it would inevitably appear again.

But squatting at the gate of the scenic spot every day is not a thing.

Yesterday, the staff at the door were already staring at themselves, and they looked at themselves as if they were looking at the bad guys.

As a young man in his early twenties, he can't always squat at the gate of the scenic spot with nothing to do, like an idle second-rate son.

After having a camera, he can stay in the scenic spot justifiably, take pictures of tourists by the way, and earn extra money.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the grotto scenic spot officially opened its doors to welcome guests.

Visitors enter the scenic spot one after another.

Zhu Xiaohua hung a bulky seagull camera around his neck and shot at the stone Buddha on the half-cliff in the distance.

With a "click", a clear stone carving of the Buddha and the people burning incense under the Buddha statue were all ingested into the camera.

"Young man, how much does it cost to take pictures? Can you take two pictures for us? ”

A pair of silver-haired old men patted him on the shoulder, led by an old man with black-rimmed glasses and a tunic that looked like a scholar.

The old woman beside him was wearing a dark dress and had a good temperament.

The two thought he was a tour guide who took pictures of tourists in the scenic spot.

Zhu Xiaohua glanced at the two of them and said, "One twenty." ”

The old man counted out forty yuan and handed it to Zhu Xiaohua: "Help us take two pictures." ”

The two stood with their backs to the Buddha in the distance, and then faced the camera behind them.

Zhu Xiaohua adjusted the focus, exposed it, and then said to the two: "Now shout with me, three-two-one, Tian Qi!" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Xiaohua with strange eyes, and asked, "Why are you calling Tian Qi?" When we people here take pictures, they all shout eggplant? ”

The old man said: "When we take pictures in the United States, we directly call the English cheese, which means cheese. But no one has ever called Tian Qi. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was also stunned, Tian Qi is naturally not something that people have seen in this era, it is a toothpaste brand that only existed many years later.

Zhu Xiaohua said nonsense: "Actually, Tian Qi was invented by me, why do you all shout eggplant or cheese when you take pictures?" ”

The old man said, "Because, when these two words are shouted, the person's expression looks like he is smiling." ”

Zhu Xiaohua nodded: "Actually, this Tian Qi I invented has the same effect. You don't believe in giving it a try, but when Tian Qi is called, people's expressions seem to be smiling even happier. Therefore, shouting Tian Qi is even better than shouting eggplant to take pictures. ”

The old man and the woman were also stunned, the two of them couldn't hold back their curiosity, tried once, shouted "Tian Qi", and found that when they shouted "Tian Qi", the curvature of the corners of their mouths was bigger than that of eggplant.

So, the two cooperated with Zhu Xiaohua, and when he finished shouting "one, two, three", he shouted "Tian Qi" twice and took two photos.

"When will the photos come out? I hope to see the photos when I leave today. The woman said.

Zhu Xiaohua only discovered a problem at this time, that is, he couldn't take photos on the spot.

At this time, the camera was still relatively primitive, and after shooting, it was necessary to take the negative to develop it to complete the production of the whole photo.

He only had a camera and film, but no processing equipment.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Do you live in Los Angeles, it is convenient to leave an address, and when the photos are developed, I will send them to you." ”

Most of the photos in scenic spots can't be taken on the same day, so everyone is used to it.

The old man wrote an address to Zhu Xiaohua: "Los Angeles Guest House, Room 306, Mr. Shao." ”

Mr. Shao, an old man, said, "We will leave Los Angeles in two days. All you have to do is deliver it before we leave. ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Okay, we'll see you then." ”

After Mr. Shao and his wife left, Zhu Xiaohua received several more photo tasks.

I have to say that taking pictures of people in the scenic area is simply too popular.

Although it is extremely expensive to take pictures, there are still many people taking pictures, and there are few competitors in the scenic area.

In this era, there are still very few people who can afford a camera.

There are many people who come to the scenic spot, but few people who take pictures, so naturally, business is very good.

Zhu Xiaohua wanted to observe passers-by wholeheartedly, wait for his younger brother Zhu Xiaoming to appear, and occasionally take pictures of people.

However, there are too many people taking pictures, and it becomes the main business if you are not careful.

After a few hours, Zhu Xiaohua took ten photos and received two hundred yuan.

Zhu Xiaohua counted the dark green Great Unity banknotes, and couldn't help but sigh, he earned two hundred yuan in a few hours, even after thirty years, such a speed of making money is enviable.

And taking pictures for tourists, such a job is so easy, and the profit of wholesale popsicles by yourself is simply not the same as the profit of one or two cents each.

Most importantly, he stared at the faces of the crowd of people coming and going, and basically did not delay looking for his younger brother and sister.

When it was time to break at noon, Zhu Xiaohua took advantage of the scarcity of tourists and went to the stall at the entrance of the scenic spot.

I saw that it read: "Sell film, rent cameras, develop photos." ”

Zhu Xiaohua walked to the window, knocked on the glass, and asked, "How much does it cost to develop photos?" ”

The staff looked at him and said, "If you have negatives, develop the photos, and pay a dollar each." ”

Zhu Xiaohua was overjoyed, and the problem of the last link of taking pictures by himself was solved.

Zhu Xiaohua asked: "If you develop it, how long can I take the photos?" ”

The staff said, "If you rinse it now, you can take it before dark." ”

Zhu Xiaohua took out the film, handed over the sixteen exposed negatives to the staff, and handed over sixteen yuan.

The staff finished numbering the film and issued a handwritten receipt to Zhu Xiaohua.
