"This is the camera? This is, this is..."

The young man almost reached out and grabbed it, but was avoided by Yang Xiaotao, for fear of being robbed by this guy.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape."

Seeing this, the young man immediately recovered his expression, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and solemnly introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm the photographer of this photo studio, Guo Yunxin. You can call me Xiao Guo. ”

Saying that, Yang Xiaotao also stretched out his hand to hold it.

"Hello, Yang Xiaotao."

The two met, probably because of the camera, Guo Yunxin was very friendly to Yang Xiaotao, and he was close when he spoke.

Yang Xiaotao thought that it should be because of the "same kind".

The two talked about it, and Yang Xiaotao put forward a request to wash the photos.

Guo Yunxin naturally agreed, in his words, if it weren't for the support from above, this photo studio would have been unable to open a long time ago, and he still wanted to find a job in a newspaper.

Yang Xiaotao is his first list this year.

Then I asked about the size of the photo, and the largest one here is eight inches, and the price is not cheap.

Usually people wash it, that is, five inches and six inches, Yang Xiaotao thought about it, the school photo uses eight inches, and the others use six inches, and then chooses a few five-inch ones to carry around.

Guo Yunxin understood, and Yang Xiaotao asked about the price again.

I thought it would cost a lot of money, but I didn't want Guo Yunxin to give a half-price discount heroically, Yang Xiaotao still felt embarrassed, but he didn't want Guo Yunxin to directly say the reason, the cost of washing photos was lower than imagined.

Some raw materials and solvents can be reused, and outsiders don't know that they don't need to play this set if they are in their own line.

Yang Xiaotao looked in the photo studio, Guo Yunxin took Yang Xiaotao's camera, and after confirming it again, he took out the film and went to the darkroom.

Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to go home and wait, but Guo Yunxin said that there was no need to bother at all, and it could be done in the morning, so Yang Xiaotao found a place in the photo studio to read the book.

Not to mention, this place is quiet, but it's a good place to read a book.

Before noon, Guo Yunxin came out of it, holding a white paper tape in his hand, and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao opened it and looked at it, black and white photos, recording time through color difference.

The hardness of the photo is good, at least there is no need to worry about wear and tear.

"I'll put the negatives in for you, and you can develop them if you need them."

Guo Yunxin said, he was also envious in his heart, he could see that the level of these photos was average, and it was all thanks to this camera to be able to shoot like this.

My heart is also envious.

Yang Xiaotao asked again, how to sell the film here, Guo Yunxin was a little embarrassed this time.

After all, he doesn't have much film here.

In the end, Yang Xiaotao bought two rolls of film, plus the money for washing the photos, a total of thirty-two.

Film accounts for more than half of this, which also makes Yang Xiaotao understand why photography has not developed in this era.

A film has caught up with the wages of ordinary workers, who can afford to play if it is not an ordinary person?

In the afternoon, when Yang Xiaotao returned home, he heard Ran Qiuye's laughter, and immediately put down his things and asked what was going on.

Ran Qiuye stepped forward, helped take off his coat, and then handed him a letter.

Yang Xiaotao opened it and looked at it, the postman was Chen Hang, and then looked at the place, it was Shanghai, and then he realized what it was.

"Uncle Chen, theirs?"

"Hmm. I've seen it, so can you take a look at it! ”

Yang Xiaotao quickly opened the envelope and took out two pieces of stationery, which were covered with blue ink, and the handwriting should have been written by someone.

Yang Xiaotao unfolded the letter and read it slowly.

In the letter, Uncle Chen first talked about the situation in Shanghai, the family is fine, but there are not many people who talk, and then Aunt Chen is watching the children or something.

After some nagging, he asked about Yang Xiaotao's situation and how it was in the courtyard.

Finally, ask the newspaper if the person next to the pressurized well is he? Let him have time to go to Shanghai to see, where the development is not worse than that of Sijiu City.

After reading it, Yang Xiaotao felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, a letter from someone thousands of miles away to him, even if it was just a parent's shortcomings, but it also represented the continuation of the relationship.

On the other side, Ran Qiuye was looking at the photos, one by one on the table, black and white photos, and Ran Qiuye was constantly surprised.

"Daughter-in-law, how do you reply to Uncle Chen?"

Yang Xiaotao walked behind Ran Qiuye, hugged her, and enjoyed the warmth.

"How's this one?"

Ran Qiuye picked up a photo, which showed Ran Qiuye sitting on a stool, Yang Xiaotao standing aside, and the two of them showed happy smiles.

"Okay, this one is good."

Yang Xiaotao stood up.

When Uncle Chen left, Ran Qiuye was not pregnant, if they knew about it, they would definitely be very happy.

With a decision, Yang Xiaotao immediately walked to the desk, found two pieces of stationery, and began to write.

Uncle Chen, Auntie:

All is well!

The letter has been received...

Yang Xiaotao first greeted the second elder and his family well, and then also said the latest situation, as for the heating stove and pressurized water well, he did not hide it, but also shared the joy that he was going to be a father...

Then I wrote Ran Qiuye's greetings...

In this way, it took two sheets of paper to finish.

At last...

Best wishes

The body is in good health, and everything is going well.

Write the name, the time.

A letter was complete.

I took out the envelope from home, and went to the mailbox to find a stamp, and wrote it according to the other party's address, Ran Qiuye checked it, and stuffed the photo into it.

Yang Xiaotao didn't delay, and ran to the post office on a bicycle.

When he came back, it was already evening, Yang Xiaotao returned home, and Ran Qiuye had already prepared the meal.

After eating, the two read books in the courtyard and spent their leisure time together.

In the next few days, Yang Xiaotao commuted to work step by step, took Ran Qiuye back to his parents' house when he had time, and then went to the library to change two books, and occasionally went around to see if he could find some books and enrich the bookshelf at home.

And so it went on until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This day is also the day of Zhou Kui's wedding.

After discussion between the two families, the wedding was still held at Zhou's house, but after the end, Zhou Kui and the two would move to the courtyard.

However, Ran Qiuye did not attend the wedding because she was pregnant, although Zhou's mother asked her to go, and said that this was a new era, and the old feudal superstition was not popular, but the two still insisted, and Zhou's mother had no choice.

Yang Xiaotao and both of them knew Zhou's mother's kindness, but they still refused.

After Zhou Kui and Liu Yulan knew, Zhou Kui didn't know, but Liu Yulan was more grateful to Yang Xiaotao and his wife after her mother's explanation.

People who think about others in this way are more worthy of association in the future.

This time Zhou Kui got married, Yang Xiaotao had more tasks, and they were all very important.

One is photography, which was not used without a camera before, but now it has, and it goes without saying that it is impossible.

The second is to serve as the officiant.

Generally, this kind of role needs to be highly respected, or a superior leader to fill it, but I didn't expect both parties to unanimously let him come, which is really unexpected.

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand, but the Liu family agreed very much.

In particular, several people in the family work in the rolling mill, and their understanding of Yang Xiaotao's positioning is clearer.

Don't look at Yang Xiaotao's current position as the leader of the R&D team of a light rod, but what people do may not be able to do is the factory director.

Let such a person come to officiate the marriage, and when the relatives at home ask, what kind of engineers, what heating stoves, what pressurized water wells, and advanced workers, they will have face when they say it.

As for Zhou's mother, that's even more okay.

So, Yang Xiaotao practiced in advance at home to save himself from saying the wrong thing.

After all, at this time, we should pay attention to our remarks, as for the Western marriage, Yang Xiaotao knows it, but he doesn't dare to say it.

Until Ran Qiuye felt that there was no problem, this time he drove the ducks to the shelves and became the main marriage of the two.

is the same as Yang Xiaotao's marriage process, Zhou Kui dressed up in the morning and went out early in the morning to marry the bride.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the two newcomers passed the door, and Yang Xiaotao began to travel his duties.

Looking at Zhou Kui's burly body trembling gently in front of everyone, as well as his face flushed with nervousness, and then looking at Liu Yulan, who was also nervous with heavy makeup, Yang Xiaotao calmed down.

Looking at the two, Yang Xiaotao walked under the hanging portrait of the great man.

At this moment, everyone gathered their eyes.

"Today, we are witnessing the wedding of the two under the watchful eye of the great man, and the two will live together in the future..."

"We sincerely hope that you will be able to help each other and encourage each other on the road of revolution..."

"Finally, bless you!"

As soon as the call was finished, the people around him immediately burst into applause.

Then, everyone moved to the Yongjun restaurant, which was also arranged in advance, with Yang Xiaotao's face, the hotel owner Zhang Qingjun agreed very happily, and the price was also appropriate.

Come to the restaurant.

The two families got together to celebrate.

Yang Xiaotao, as the main marriage and Zhou Kui's brother, sat at the main table and sat with Zhou's mother.

There are also Liu Yulan's parents and several uncles at the table, which is full of many people.

Yang Xiaotao is sitting here at such a young age, which is naturally concerned, and many people have also heard about Yang Xiaotao, and then they are respected.

In these days, those who are capable are respected.

When Zhou Kui took Liu Yulan to toast one by one, when he came to the main table, Zhou Kui seemed a little restrained, but Liu Yulan was generous and decent, outgoing and cheerful.

When it was Yang Xiaotao's turn, Yang Xiaotao picked up his wine glass, "My brother is stupid, but his heart is real." I can also see that in the future, this family will have to be this brother and daughter-in-law. ”

Liu Yulan smiled generously, and Zhou Kui was also embarrassed, but his face was happy.

The surrounding family members laughed even more when they heard it, who didn't know that Liu Cheng treated this daughter as a baby bump, although he was anxious about his daughter's marriage for so many years, he never said a bad word about his daughter.

Even if she has a few brothers, if she dares to say that her sister is not good, she will also be chased by the old man for half a street.

Now, Liu Yulan has found a home, and everyone is naturally happy.

Didn't you see that Liu Cheng was already grinning and couldn't hold the wine?

"Brother Tao, don't worry, I will take care of Kuizi, take care of my mother and sister, take the lead, and live a good life."

Liu Yulan patted her chest and said, although according to her age, she is three years older than Yang Xiaotao, but this Brother Tao is serious.

"Haha, good! Today's big day, your sister-in-law didn't come, but you still have to bring gifts. ”

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand and took out a ticket from his chest pocket, and in an instant, everyone at the dinner table held their breath and was speechless in surprise.

Liu Cheng was even more exaggerated, the wine glass he was holding fell directly onto the table, and the wine spilled out.

"Bike ticket!"

Someone shouted, followed by a burst of exclamations.

Zhou Kui and the others were also surprised, these days, it is difficult to get bicycle tickets, this is a fact.

Yang Xiaotao took out not only a ticket, but also a certificate below.

This is naturally from Yang Youning.

After Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, Yang Youning also knew something about Zhou Kui, and he could be regarded as a peripheral member of their rolling mill.

And now he has led the team to install a heating stove and has done a lot of things.

Although this point does not meet the requirements, with Yang Xiaotao coming forward, this face can be given.

But he also made it clear, only this once, not the next one.

If there's a next time, unless there's something good...

Yang Xiaotao listened, smiled and nodded.

In this regard, full of confidence.

"Brother Tao, I..."

Zhou Kui wanted to refuse, but Yang Xiaotao handed it to Liu Yulan, "This is your sister-in-law's intention." Once you have the ticket, you have to earn the money yourself! ”

Liu Yulan took the bill and nodded solemnly.

"Brother Tao, thank you sister-in-law, I will salute you first for this glass of wine!"

"Good!"

Liu Yulan drank it in one gulp, quite boldly.

Yang Xiaotao also drank it, and Zhou Yun on the side hurriedly filled it for the two of them, "This cup, I drank it for your sister-in-law!" ”

Zhou Kui and the two toasted together, and after the three of them finished drinking, they sat down.

When Zhou Kui went to the other table, several of Liu Cheng's brothers began to attack.

Relatives who give heavy gifts like this, if they don't toast, the Liu family has no tutor.

It's just that they haven't seen Yang Xiaotao's drinking, and they don't refuse to see Yang Xiaotao coming one by one, and they are even more arrogant, and they don't notice the faces of Liu Cheng and the second child.

That's a kind of schadenfreude that repeats the mistakes of the past.

The banquet didn't end until half past three in the afternoon, and Liu Yulan looked at her uncles and elders lying on the wine table, and she was amused in her heart.

obviously doesn't have that ability, but I want to compare with Yang Xiaotao, what do you compare?

That's a lot of people, you are taking your life.
