Chapter 26 Take a Family Portrait
After eating, the Su family and the whole family walked to the town in a hurry, and Su Congjun from the steel factory said hello to his master, and the master happily let him go.
The sun was rising, and the two men finally met up at the only photo studio in town.
"Big brother!" Su Congwen's eyes were sharp, and from a distance, he saw Su Congjun looking left and right at the door of the photo studio.
When a few people approached, Su Congjun smashed Su Congwen's shoulder with a punch, "Good boy, you really have you!" ”
When he was young, he knew that his second brother was a person who did big things in a muffled voice.
"Hey, hey." Su Congwen smirked twice.
"Mom, this picture is so clear?" Wu Guixiang looked at the photos placed on the glass window outside the photo studio, and was shocked, it was the first time she had seen the photos so clearly after living for most of her life.
Not only her, but in the entire Luoshui Village, taking pictures is a rare thing.
"That face is the same as the real thing, and it looks clearer than the movie." Zhang Xinlan was also amazed.
"Yes, look at this pair, they look really Peugeot." Li Xiulian looked at the photo of the couple above and admired again and again, the boy was wearing a Mao suit, excited and a little restrained, the girl was wearing a floral blouse, with a sweet smile, and their faces were full of happiness.
Su Qingyun took a look, the current photos are still black and white, for her, it is really too historical.
"Alright, let's go inside." Su Aimin was afraid of delaying time, so he urged.
The Su family entered the photo studio, and the master in the photo studio was busy working, and when he heard the movement, he came out of the darkroom where he washed the photos.
"What are you ......" The photographer was stunned when he saw the big room, and couldn't figure out what he was here for.
"Of course I'm here to take pictures." Su Aimin stepped forward to talk familiarly, "Master, how much do you have to take two family photos here?" ”
"Family portrait?" The photographer was even more stunned, he was basically a married newcomer here, so he was willing to spend money to take pictures, this is the first time that such a large family has come to take a family photo, it is really fresh.
"Can't you shoot?"
"Yes, of course!" The photographer smiled, it is no different to take pictures, "We take a single photo here for one dollar, double photo for one dollar, if you want to take a family photo, give two yuan." ”
"Two pieces? My good man, why don't you just take a photo, why is it so expensive? Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened and she stammered.
"This photo, although you just listened to the click, but the film costs money, and the development of the photo is also time-consuming and laborious, and it is all hard money." The photographer explained with a smile that there are few people who don't take pictures that are not too expensive, but there are always people who are willing to take pictures.
"Two pieces are two pieces, let's shoot." Su Dalin has spoken, he has come here, and he has to take this photo anyway.
Wu Guixiang also nodded, although she managed the money tightly, she was still willing to spend this money.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Su Congwen was moved, he knew that this big family was all for him.
Of the three brothers in the family, he is the second in line, not up or down, he is introverted, and the family has never paid much attention to him, but in the past few days, he really found that the family's unspoken appearance is a deep concern and love for him.
"Okay, then let's go in first and take pictures inside." The photographer smiled and lifted the curtain in the inner room.
The Su family entered the inner room and saw the scenery inside, Wu Guixiang immediately exclaimed, "Why is the wall so colorful?" Yo, what about flowers? Wu Guixiang picked up a bouquet of flowers, touched it, smashed her mouth and said, "Why is it fake?" ”
"Of course it's fake, auntie, it's for the person who took the picture in his hand as a decoration." The photographer is adjusting his camera without looking up.
Su Qingyun glanced at the big camera, and the current cameras were basically barometric vertical cameras.
"Okay, let's stop looking, all stand in a row against the wall." After the photographer adjusted the camera, he beckoned to a strange group of people.
He looked at so many people in the Su family and thought for a while, "Let's just stand in two rows, the young people are in the back, the eldest lady and the uncle are in the front, that young man, you go and move two chairs for your grandmother to sit on." ”
Su Congwen, who was hailed, immediately moved a chair in front of Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin to sit down, and everyone looked at each other again and began to stand up.
Su Aimin began to command, "Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, you two stand next to your father and mother, Congjun, Congwen and Yunyun, you stand on the left side of the row behind, A-Ying, let's stand on the right." ”
"Okay, okay, it's almost, don't move if you stand up." The photographer looked at the family who were standing in position.
Everyone looked at the big black machine opposite, and the first time they took pictures, they were inevitably a little nervous, pursed their lips, their eyes began to glance, and their faces were tense.
"Relax a little bit, smile, smile, think about your own happiness." The photographer began to make the stiff family adjust their expressions.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, trying to make an unnatural smile, and the photographer slipped into the black cloth with the hooded head and began to look at the images from the camera.
"Okay, good, smile a little bigger, relax, prepare, three, two, one." The photographer's countdown is over, and with a click, the photo is taken.
"Don't move, let's take another picture." Before the Su family could react, they took another one.
The photographer lifted the black cloth and said with a smile, "Okay, it's done." ”
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief, it was so tiring to take a picture and laugh.
Seeing that the photographer was working on the film, Su Aimin hurriedly asked, "Master, when can we get the photos as soon as possible?" ”
"The fastest?" The photographer thought for a moment, "Then it will take two or three days." ”
"Two or three days? That's not going to work! "Zhang Xinlan is in a hurry, she has been gone since the day of civilization, how can she be in time?
Su Aimin: "Can I get it tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow?" The photographer was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Not tomorrow, it will take time to develop the photo." ”
"No, master, this kid will leave tomorrow, he will go to the army, tomorrow will go to the army, we want him to leave with the photos of his family." Su Aimin pulled Su Congwen and introduced.
The photographer was a little surprised, he didn't see that this thin young man was still a soldier, he thought for a moment, "If you must get it tomorrow, I will stay up tonight to wash it out for you." ”
"That's great!" Su Aimin said happily, "Master, we won't let you work in vain, we will give you an expedited fee, you say the number." ”
"That'...... Then just add five cents. The photographer symbolically said the number, this is a good thing to be a soldier, and he also wants to support it.
"I just took two photos, if you all have to wash them out, you can give a total of five yuan, and I don't need the rush fee." The photographer thought for a moment and said.
"Thank you, master, we want both." Su Aimin immediately said, Wu Guixiang also nodded, just right, one at home, one from the text.
"Okay, I'll give you another photo frame to put your photos at home." The photographer is also refreshing.
"Thank you." Su Congwen smiled happily.
After the family photo was taken, the Su family went home happily, Su Congjun just told the master that he had to go back to the county now.
He patted Su Congwen on the shoulder, "Big brother won't send you tomorrow, work hard in the army and strive for meritorious service." ”
"Yes!" Su Congwen said loudly.
When the whole family returned home, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner in the countryside was early, Zhang Xinlan consciously went into the kitchen to cook, and Li Xiulian and Qin Ying also went to help.
Wu Guixiang walked into the kitchen and said to the three of them: "Congwen will leave tomorrow, let's have a good meal today, fry more meat, kill one chicken in the yard, Xiulian orders dumplings with white bread, let's eat it tonight." ”
Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened and her face was incredible, her mother-in-law was so generous today? After spending five yuan to take pictures, not to mention, he was willing to kill chickens?
Wu Guixiang glanced at her, "What kind of expression do you have?" If you don't want to eat, don't eat it. ”
"Say you don't want to eat? I didn't say that. Zhang Xinlan immediately put away her expression, picked up the knife, and said excitedly: "I'm going to kill!" ”
Wu Guixiang looked at her holding a knife as if she was going to battle, and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Soon, an attractive fragrance floated over the Su family, and it drifted into many homes in Luoshui Village along the wind.
"Good boy, who is this roasting meat? It smells too good, isn't it? Why do I still smell the chicken? ”
"It looks like it floated out of the Su family."
"The Su family has a good thing again?"
"You don't know yet? Su Jia's Congwen is going to be a soldier, and he will be a glorious soldier in the future. ”
"And what's going on? Why is the life of the Su family getting better and better? It's hot to watch. ”
There was a lot of discussion outside, and the Su family didn't know anything, because everyone was eating meat openly, and they didn't even raise their heads.
Su Qingyun ate a few pieces of chicken and cabbage and pork stuffed dumplings wrapped by his aunt and was full.
"Yunyun, why don't you eat it?" Wu Guixiang asked.
"I'm full, milk." Su Qingyun looked at her second brother, "Second brother needs to eat more, and he can still reminisce when he misses the meals at home in the future." ”
Her words made everyone laugh, and Su Aimin gave Su Congwen a piece of chopsticks of meat, "Yes, Congwen, eat more." ”
Su Congwen buried his head and ate hard, and a crystal tear fell into the bowl.
On the afternoon of the second day, in the anticipation of the whole Su family and even the whole village, the military vehicle stopped at the gate of the Su family, and the soldiers in straight military uniforms got out of the car and said loudly: "Su Congwen!" ”
"Here!" Su Congwen replied loudly.
The soldier looked at him with satisfaction, the young man was in good spirits.
He took down a set of clothes from the car and handed it to Su Congwen, "This is your military uniform, take it." ”
Uniform? Su Congwen's eyes widened excitedly, and he took the military uniform with trembling hands, his expression was serious and solemn.
The onlookers also boiled over and began to chatter.
"My good man, this military vehicle is too majestic, and this young man looks handsome."
"It's the first time I've seen a brand new uniform, it's so beautiful."
"This kid from the Su family is really good, give them the old Su family to fight!"
