Zhu Xiaohua asked Xiao Ding to write a receipt for Captain Xiao.

Captain Xiao smiled: "Don't use these." You and I can trust me, I'll send someone to pick up the photos tomorrow. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was no longer reluctant, and watched Captain Xiao and his party leave.

Before leaving, Zhu Xiaohua asked: "The unit takes photos collectively, what are these ID photos for?" ”

Captain Xiao said: "Did you know that the first generation of ID cards will be implemented nationwide soon. When we received a notice from our superiors, we took the lead in setting an example. These photos are used for *identification* certificates. ”

Zhu Xiaohua understood and calculated the time, this time was almost the time when the first generation of ID cards were implemented in the country.

"Brother Zhu, I didn't expect Captain Xiao to come here to cheer."

Xiao Ding put 150 yuan in the drawer and helped register it in the notebook.

Tang Yimin said: "In this way, plus the 20 people who didn't take pictures before, more than 40 people have come to our photo studio today." That's about the same number as in the past. ”

Both were overjoyed by the sudden increase in the number of people in the photo studio.

After sending Captain Xiao away, Zhu Xiaohua decided to put away all the costumes and background boards related to the art photos, and changed the background to a white wall. Put a simple stool in front of the white wall and remove the rest of the belongings.

In this way, the position of the camera appears to be neat and tidy.

Xiao Ding asked: "In this way, will it seem too monotonous to take pictures?" And Captain Xiao said to apply for an identity * ID card, what is an ID * ID card? ”

In this era, most people have never seen what an ID card looks like, and they have no concept of an ID card.

The understanding of ID photos is also half-understood, or there is only one general concept: photography.

Zhu Xiaohua explained: "As for the ID photo, the main thing is to be plain, and you can take a clear picture of the person's facial features." So you don't need as much art and backdrop boards.

"The ID card is a very important thing, as important as your current household registration book and household registration card. It's something that proves who you are and what you have about yourself. ”

Xiao Ding seems to understand whether he understands or not.

There were not many photos taken that day, and the photos taken in the photo studio, plus the photos taken by the three Kim brothers in the scenic square, were more than 40 in total.

Zhu Xiaohua developed some of the photos and handed the rest to Xiaoding and Tang Yimin to develop.

He rode home early on his motorcycle.

At this time, it was not yet dark, the motorcycle was riding very slowly, and Zhu Xiaohua heard people talking about the first generation of ID cards along the way.

"Have you heard, now everyone in the country has to apply for an identity card, saying that it is to prevent criminals, to catch thieves and robbers."

"Yes, the police also came to the door to publicize it today."

Zhu Xiaohua rode the motorcycle into the family compound of the tractor factory.

In the distance, I heard the loudspeaker in the courtyard broadcasting.

"In August this year, the dormitory compound of the Cultural * Department of Yangmen Nei Street was lit up, and the 380 residents here ushered in a special day.

"The first batch of resident ID cards in the country were issued here. These residents became the first holders of identity cards. According to the relevant regulations, the resident identity card system will soon be popularized throughout the country. It involves the people of all ethnic groups across the country......"

Under the loudspeaker, two staff members wearing red armbands are promoting to passing residents.

Zhu Xiaohua got down and pushed the cart closer.

One of the staff members wearing a red armband said: "Xiaohua, have you heard about the recent policy, you will soon apply for an ID card, everyone has to handle it, since you are here, then fill out a form first." ”

Aunt Wang, a staff member, handed over a paper form.

Zhu Xiaohua took the watch and saw that it was written: name, gender, date of birth, home address, etc.

He filled in the information one by one.

"Name: Zhu Xiaohua

Gender: Male

Date of birth: 12 May 1964

Home address: 206, Building 2, Family Hospital, Tractor Factory, No. 8, Xinhua Street, Luocheng City, Hedong Province

Aunt Wang used to be in charge of family planning work in the area, but now she works part-time to help publicize the new policy.

When Aunt Wang saw Zhu Xiaohua's information, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, thank you for your support." It seems that you are familiar with the new policies of the country. One more one-inch bareheaded black and white photo can be submitted. ”

She looked at Zhu Xiaohua and said, "By the way, you are running a photo studio, so this one is relatively simple." ”

Zhu Xiaohua handed her the registration form and walked back.

In the courtyard below, several neighbors sat around and were discussing the news on the loudspeaker.

One of the older ones, Zhang Kan, said: "There are still many benefits to applying for an ID card, and there is no need for a letter of introduction from the unit when you go out to live in a hotel in the future." You can live directly with your ID card.

"And when looking for a job, you don't need a household registration book, you can prove yourself with your ID card.

"The most important thing is to facilitate the state to maintain social order, so that the criminals have nowhere to escape. It's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone.

"When society is stable, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."

Lao Zhang was older, a teacher in school, and he was very knowledgeable and well-informed, and everyone believed his words.

Someone asked, "If there are so many benefits, why didn't they be implemented before?" ”

Lao Zhang replied: "Because in the past, everyone farmed, farmed, and lived in their own places, and they didn't go out much. Between neighbors and villages, everyone knows each other, and there is no need to take out each other's ID cards when they meet.

"But it's different now, now it's reform and opening up. Many people have to go to the city to work and do business, and the flow of people is more frequent and the contacts are closer. At this time, it is mostly dealing with strangers, and of course ID cards are required. Otherwise, how do you know if you're a good person or a bad person? ”

Someone laughed: "I think Lao Li is a bad person, and I can't give him an identity card." ”

Another said: "Yes, Lao Li stole my chicken." He could not be licensed. ”

At this time, a young voice asked, "With so many benefits, is there any harm in that?" ”

Lao Zhang replied: "It's a disadvantage, it's not a disadvantage. However, you need to pay for the certificate, and you also need to prepare photos. ”

Many of them have never taken pictures, and when they hear that they are going to take pictures, some people are excited and some people are worried.

Uncle Li, who was sitting on the stone pier in the corner, said: "It's not good to get an ID card. ”

Everyone asked in unison, "Why?" ”

Uncle Li: "I don't have any money. ”

Everyone despised him: "Go, what kind of reason do you have?" ”

This Uncle Li is over thirty years old and is still a bachelor. Both parents died, and he was the only one left, and his family was so poor that he was a famous lazy man in the whole compound who ate the last meal but didn't have the next meal.

Zhu Xiaohua walked over, pulled Uncle Li up, and said, "ID cards are still very important. You don't have to worry about money, you come to my photo studio tomorrow, and I can take you a photo for free. ”

Uncle Li was overjoyed, stood up from the stone pier, and said, "Really? That's great. ”
