Chapter 37 Today is a good day, the guests come to Miaojiazhai
Yang Xiu frequently looked at Chen Xing's camera.
She is no longer a ten-year-old child, and what she likes is not the jumping bands and catching grasshoppers that the children in the village like, but what she likes is new things, such as exploring this temple that she has never been to, or the camera that Chen Xing's brother always carries with him.
She looked at the photos taken by Chen Xing's brother before, and at the age of fourteen, she had never felt that she was so good-looking.
"I can...... Can I see your camera? β
Yang Xiu asked in a whisper behind Chen Xing, she was being led by Chen Xing on the mountain road.
Chen Xing stopped, pointed to the camera and said, "This? β
"Uh-huh." She nodded vigorously.
He hesitated for a moment.
For a photographer, only the camera and his wife are not borrowed.
But thinking that Yang Xiu was by his side and couldn't run, he would just lose a little shutter at most if he played with her, and he didn't let her change the parameters randomly, which was nothing, so he took off the camera and hung it around her neck, saying:
"Don't take it off, you know?"
"Good!"
Chen Xing taught her how to take pictures: "This one is the shutter, this is the viewfinder, what you want to shoot, just look at the viewfinder and press the shutter, press it briskly, don't press other things, it will be difficult for me to adjust it when the time comes." β
"I see."
Yang Xiu licked her lips and was about to find something to take her first photo.
After looking at Chen Xing's photograph of herself, she thought that no matter who this camera photographed, she would take a good picture of people.
Chen Xing is still teaching her some basic knowledge of photography.
Forget about the foreground, details, and depth of field, Yang Xiu's foundation is too poor to meet the premise of learning this part.
"You have to remember to make the subject of the photo stand out, don't put what you want to shoot to the edge of the frame, and secondly, the brightness should be normal...... Forget it, I adjusted it just now, you don't have to worry about it. Then the photo should be clear and not blurry......"
Yang Xiu tried to take a picture of the mountain, she thought it was very good-looking, and asked Chen Xing to help bring out the photo.
"Do you think it looks good?"
She asked Chen Xing very happily, and the silver hat on her head rattled.
Chen Xing glanced at it, didn't speak, and taught her how to order the next one.
Most of the photos he took in the past two days have been stored in the computer, but the mountains, Dai villages, Miao villages, and monasteries taken in the morning are still there.
"Wow!"
Yang Xiu began to exclaim, she suddenly felt that the big monk just now was so handsome.
"Wow!! This house is so beautiful! β
"This is Uncle and Auntie? It's so pretty! β
"Wow! Is this the river below, and how did it look so good? β
"Wow, our fields are also so beautiful!"
Yang Xiu may not have the ability to look at photos from a professional point of view, but as an ordinary person, she feels that every photo taken by Chen Xing is extraordinarily beautiful, especially the photo of their Miao family's terraces, which is really amazing.
In a comparison with their own shooting.
Ah, what did I shoot, deleted it!
How to delete?
Chen Xing tilted his head slightly, so that Yang Xiu couldn't see his smug face.
He hasn't been a professional photographer for a long time, and there haven't been too many people who have praised their works, and now there is such a cute little Lori next to you to your work non-stop wow wow wow, this kind of pride should no one be able to resist.
It's like if you played a good game and killed the full blood tribulation with the remnant blood tribulation in front of countless people.
"Brother Chen Xing, teach me well!"
When it was almost time for the wedding banquet, Chen Xing retrieved the camera from her neck and said, "Okay, when I help your little aunt take pictures of them in a while, you will be watching from the side." β
Dozens of meters away, both of them already felt the warm atmosphere of the wedding banquet.
The sound of suona has stopped, and now it is the sound of neat drumming.
The two walked into the door and saw that a table had been set up in the middle, with some candy melon seeds on it, and the sound of drumming came from inside the room, that is, the place where Chen Xing heard someone playing suona before, it seemed that it was also the same band.
Then, he noticed that five or six Miao beauties wearing Miao clothes and with horns on their heads were dancing to the beat of drums.
The dance is not beautiful, it is more of a celebratory ceremony than a dance.
All the dancers wore a large number of silver ornaments, and wore colorful skirts, and when they danced, the silver ornaments rattled like a simple and heavy wind chime, and the skirts spread out like flowers when they turned in circles, and they were extremely bright.
The rest of the onlookers were accompanied by the sound of Ha, Ho.
It's also quite interesting.
Click.
This is the sound of Chen Xing taking pictures.
It didn't take long for the drums to stop, some other instruments to play, and the lead dancers to start singing.
Of course, Chen Xing couldn't understand the lyrics.
He touched Yang Xiu, who was snorting melon seeds, with his arm and asked, "What are they singing?" β
"It's a song to welcome guests." She spit out the melon seed shell and sang along with them in Chinese next to Chen Xing:
"Everyone came to listen to Ah Mei sing, the sun shone on the hillside, and Ah Mei's heart was warm. Let's sing together, today is a good day, guests come to Miaojiazhai, come on! The reeds are blowing, the wine is singing, the Miao family wine glass is raised, today we are singing and dancing together to celebrate this good day......"
At this time, many people raised their wine glasses, shouted something, and drank one after another.
Chen Xing also smiled.
It should be good to live in such an environment, although it is just a cottage, but the culture is very rich.
Confucianism has allowed the Han people to inherit it for thousands of years, but there are advantages and disadvantages to inheriting it to the present, for example, many traditional girls cannot have Yang Xiu's eccentricity in their teens, or Song Shulan's daring to love and hate.
Moreover, the current social etiquette has collapsed, and it is estimated that only in such a mountain can you find the simplicity of the past.
Chen Xing saw something, and his smile narrowed slightly.
"Ah Xiu, is there any place where you can exchange money?"
Yang Xiu knew what Chen Xing wanted to do when she heard the exchange of money, and looked at the small table where she received gift money at the wedding, she took Chen Xing's hand and said, "I'll take you to the commissary." β
Descending the mountain along the bluestone road again, the two arrived at the entrance of the village.
There is a wooden building with a faΓ§ade in front of it, and you can see a lot of snacks, stationery, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other things when you go in.
Yang Xiu shouted, "Wang Xianxian." β
A forty-year-old woman came out of the side door, saw Yang Xiu and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, what to buy?" β
Chen Xing said: "I want to change a little money, are you called Wang Rong?" β
"You know me?"
Chen Xing shook his head and said, "When I entered the village, a master from Huaping told me, he said that his sister's name was Wang Rong, and she opened a grocery store in this village. β
Wang Rong was also enthusiastic about Chen Xing and said, "That's my little brother, what money do you want to exchange?" β
Chen Xing smoothly exchanged six hundred yuan in cash here.
Originally, he was going to catch up with 800, but there were really not so many 100 yuan bills in a commissary, and the scattered ones were not easy to pack in red envelopes, so they could only give 600, but Yang Xiu said that this was a lot, and the red envelopes in the village were generally about 200, and there were also gifts with chickens and ducks.
