Chapter 450: Family Portrait
Zhang Chi looked at his brother-in-law who came over, and asked with a surprised expression, "Do you actually understand?" ”
Zhang Chi and Miller must communicate in English, Miller this guy doesn't know Chinese, not at all, how can Zhang Chi talk Chinese to him, isn't that talking to the cow.
What made Zhang Chi strange was that he had talked to Miller about catching wild horses for two days, and his brother-in-law could understand it.
Sun Yanping looked at his brother-in-law with an uneven expression.
"I'm also a college graduate, I don't even know? I can't hear it when lasso catches me? You don't know that there is such a thing as listening in college English, right? Oh, I forgot, you kid didn't go to college at all."
Sun Yanping was quite speechless.
Zhang Chi: "......".
Sun Yanping didn't care, he leaned over to Zhang Chi and asked in a whisper: "Did you say that you are going to set the horse, where to go to the horse?" ”
Zhang Chi didn't think much about it: "Go to the public pasture to set wild horses, in fact, they are not wild horses, they are originally domestic horses, but they are not wanted for various reasons, they are discarded, and they become wild horses after a long time, and they live in public pastures."
"Wait, there are still people who don't want horses?"
Sun Yanping was a little puzzled, there were still people who didn't want horses, which made him a little unacceptable.
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "Well, some people don't want it, if it's the dry season, many horses will be thrown directly into the wild, and sometimes thousands of wild horses can die on a dry day alone."
"Isn't it all money! The Americans are really losers," Sun Yanping said, "It would be nice if it could be shipped back to China."
"Then don't think about it, it's not enough for freight, the horses here don't cost money, but you want to transport them from here to China, and the freight plus the time and energy spent on the road is not worth it at all" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Brother-in-law thinks things are too simple, the horses here don't need money, but the labor is expensive, even if you transport it from Texas to China, a horse to the port of Los Angeles is estimated to have to give you hundreds of knives, and then transport it to China, plus a month of eating, drinking, and Lazar on the inspection and quarantine road, and then pass through the mess or something, the price of the horse has already been floated, and an ordinary horse here is transported to the country, which is more expensive than the ordinary horse in China, what do you say you transport it for.
Do stallions?
Then you also think too much, the average horse has no possibility of being a stallion at all, and whoever can be a stallion, who will throw it away.
"Hey, bring me one!" Sun Yanping said.
At this time, Uncle Niang happened to walk by, Gu Ying and Miller were also acquaintances, and they naturally smiled and said hello when they saw it.
Miller then asked, "What did they say?" ”
Gu Ying said: "He wants to follow you to catch horses."
"Then let's play with it, it's not a secret thing anyway, as long as he has time to play with me," Miller said.
Gu Ying then translated the words to Sun Yanping.
When Sun Yanping heard this, he pushed Zhang Chi away, and said to Miller with a smile: "I haven't seen a horse hunting, is it like in the movie, a group of cowboys riding on a small hill, looking at the tens of thousands of wild ......horses below."
Gu Ying smiled as she translated herself.
Miller was also amused by Sun Yanping, and opened his mouth to say: "No, no, Sun, where are you catching horses, you are shooting an advertisement for Marlboro, now there is no such a big scene of horse hunting, generally speaking, there are only about 100 horses, too many together to grab grass, but now this is the time of the year when the grass is early, you may have the opportunity to see a larger herd of horses."
"I must go and see" When Sun Yanping heard about catching horses, countless fantasies suddenly arose in his heart.
Zhang Chi saw that it was not possible to take them now, so he said to Sun Yanping: "You better hurry up and take pictures, it will take a few days to go and catch wild horses."
Sun Yanping rested here, and Miller was there, so the lively people quickly gathered around.
When I heard that I was going to catch a horse, there were immediately people like Sun Yanping, in addition to Zhang Chi's lively sister Zhang Juan, and Zhang Youpeng.
I don't know if these people have suffered from any grassland, horses, plus a song "The Man Who Sets Horses" or something that is a little abnormal, as soon as I heard about going to set horses, I fantasized in my heart.
It doesn't matter to Miller, these people want to go to the trouble and it's not his, he has Zhang Chi to deal with it, so Miller promised to call it a refreshing one.
Then the boy died.
After a little rambling for about ten minutes, I continued to take pictures.
Now Zhang Chi is bored again.
It's Zhang Chi's turn, and Zhang Chi's role is similar to that of the black and white horses over there, almost equal to the background.
There are a few that are very good, together with Merica, for parents, for uncles and aunts as backgrounds.
When it was almost noon, the group photo was finally about to be taken.
The background of the group photo is Zhang Chi's house, a little farther away is the hills, and farther away is the snow-capped peak.
"This angle is good, this angle is good, Dachi, move the chairs to the east, this angle can shoot the whole house into it, and you can also bring a corner of the snowy mountain, it's amazing......" Sun Yanping instructed Zhang Chi to move the chairs in the front row.
Waiting for the chairs to be lined up, Sun Yanping shouted to the elders: "Sit in, I'll take a look."
"Do you want to tune it out? It's been transferred for a long time, "Zhang Jiaren also wants to go to the ranch to do his own work, a photo is about to be tossed for more than half an hour, and the good-tempered old man is a little unbearable."
"It's almost over, grandpa, sit down, fine-tune it again, everyone finally got together and took a family photo, but you can't ...... the right angle" Sun Yanping explained while directing everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Sun Yanping took another look and fine-tuned everyone's position to make the whole picture look more harmonious.
The front row is the position of the elders, and in the middle it must be the grandparents, the left hand is the uncle and aunt, and the right hand is Zhang Chi's parents.
Standing in the back row are Zhang Chi and Zhang Juan.
As for Xiao Xiao, his position was in the front, leaning against the side of his grandfather and grandmother.
There are also in front, that is, their own pets, the ink is favored by the grandmother, it naturally approached Miao Guifang, Shiren and Bai Lao, leaning in front of Gu Ying and Miao Guifang respectively.
Li Xiumei's arms were holding a big fat man with a widowed face.
Zhiyu edamame is holding Xiao Xiao's legs, probably the first time to join the family photo, and a little scared, with a pair of small eyes with a little overwhelm.
The big bull, the second tiger and the third biaozi are not there, and the others are working.
The two dogs are three, but they have no interest in staying honest and taking pictures, and as for their kittens, they don't know where to go.
Feeling that it was almost over, Sun Yanping set it up here, ran back to his position, and then smiled on his face, his mouth did not move, and he kept saying: "Attention, hold, smile and don't blink."
Then Zhang Chi was relieved when he saw the flash flashing.
Sun Yanping ran over, looked at the effect, and then said: "Uncle, you blinked, you took a picture with your eyes closed, and then take another one!" ”
So everyone began to tense up again.
After the first shot, someone was taken blind, so he had to take the third shot.
In the end, five shots were taken in a row, and by the time the sixth shot came, everyone was open, and this was the end.
Sun Yanping said loudly: "OK, it's done!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jiaren and Zhang Youpeng went to lead their horses, and walked towards the stable with Zhang Youliang, not knowing what they were going to do.
Gu Ying, Miao Guifang, and Li Xiumei returned to the terrace together, chatting while knocking melon seeds.
Merika and Zhang Juan, the two of them surrounded Sun Yanping left and right, looking at the photo in his hand, they didn't know what to say, anyway, they walked towards the house with a smile.
Only Zhang Chi was left at the scene, and Xiao Xiao beside Zhang Chi.
"Uncle, no one seems to notice us, alas, we are so pitiful."
Xiao Xiao looked at Zhang Chi, feeling that he was ignored by adults, and turned his head to find that his uncle was also standing stupidly, so his heart was a little more balanced.
"They didn't notice you, did I use someone else's attention?" Zhang Chi didn't feel embarrassed at all, everyone said that no one paid attention to him at the end, I have to say that it was a bit excessive.
Squeak squeak!
Just as Zhang Chi was talking to his nephew, Edamame squeaked at Xiao Xiao.
Hearing Edamame call himself, Xiao Xiao instantly became happy, and said to Zhang Chi: "Edamame called me, no one cares about you now, you are so pitiful."
"Edamame is also a human?"
Zhang Chi felt that the little nephew might not be like a good thing, and he always looked for people to sprinkle salt flowers on people's wounds, which seemed to be a bit like himself, and his nephew was more like an uncle, and he also said it in the past.
Zhang Chi was about to leave when he heard Merica's voice coming from the door.
"Zhang Chi!"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chi stopped.
Merica stretched out her finger and said, "Come here, help my brother-in-law print the photo."
"So fast?" Zhang Chi felt that this was too fast.
I followed my daughter-in-law into the house and found my sister and brother-in-law standing at the top of the stairs waiting for me.
"Xiaomei said that there is a printer in your study," Sun Yanping said.
Zhang Chi glanced at Merika, shrugged her shoulders, and understood that her daughter-in-law was afraid that others would enter her study and mess up her things, so she led this disaster to herself.
"Oh, go upstairs then!"
Zhang Chi took his sister and the three of them upstairs to his study.
turned on the computer, connected the camera card, Sun Yanping saw the PS icon on the desktop and took the photo by himself.
Zhang Chi saw the finished photo on the screen and was immediately moved.
"It's really good" Zhang Chi reached out and patted his brother-in-law's shoulder: "I didn't expect it, I still underestimated you a little."
Merika also nodded, expressing great affirmation of Sun Yanping's photography skills.
Originally, the small screen on the camera didn't look very good, but now that it's put on the big guy of the display, the effect is really good.
People, houses, forests and distant mountains, advancing layer by layer, there are heavy and light, there are main and auxiliary, very layered, and the background is quite beautiful.
The most important thing is people, and the expressions on everyone's faces have two words written on them: happy.
Everyone doesn't have the stiffness of a normal family portrait, everyone is natural, but everyone seems to have a story with them, a story that only relatives can read.
Anyway, Zhang Chi has never felt a family photo, and he can actually make his heart full of emotion, maybe it is because this is his family photo, each of them is someone he is familiar with, he can read them, and he can feel the love and affection they give him.
