Ye Yaodong rode a bicycle with his children, and the owner of the photo studio rode a bicycle alone, carrying his equipment and following behind.
It was only after 10 o'clock in the morning when they arrived in the village. Some people's chimneys had already risen from cooking smoke, while most of the men were still sitting by the door, basking in the sun and playing cards.
When Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle towards the main road, he stopped at the place where many people gathered, and asked his son behind him to yell.
"Someone came to take pictures, someone came to take pictures."
What you promise to promote must be done.
The villagers all looked over curiously, and read along, "Someone came to take pictures?"
Ye Yaodong said: "Someone came to take pictures, now I have to go to my house to take pictures, folks who want to take pictures, I will go to my house to invite this big brother later."
The folks whispered to each other and started discussing in whispers.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about these people, after yelling and agreeing, he rode his bicycle and led them home.
The photographer also hurriedly followed by riding a bicycle.
A group of children in the family had known for a long time that Ye Yaodong was going to the town to ask someone to come and take pictures, and when they watched him come back riding a bicycle from a distance, they all went up to greet him excitedly.
"The third uncle is back!"
"The third uncle is back!"
"Third uncle, can we also take pictures?"
A group of children were blushing from arguing, and they all looked up at him with bright eyes.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Go back and tell your mother to ask her to change you into beautiful and clean new clothes. Later, our whole family will take a family portrait, and we will take it together. I will count it as mine. If they want to develop photos, they can do as much as you want." Wash two."
It's rare to take a photo, so you must wear your best clothes.
"Okay~"
"Great~"
"Great, we're going to take a photo together~"
"Mother~ third uncle asked us to take a photo together~"
"Father~Mom~ we are going to take a photo..."
A group of children scattered like birds and beasts in an instant, and hurried home to call their mothers to change into new clothes.
Lin Xiuqing came out of the house with a smile, and kept wiping her hands on her apron. "I'm back so soon? I thought I could invite people back after dinner."
Hmm...he was coaxed back by him.
"Come here early, finish the filming sooner, maybe the folks around also want to shoot, come here earlier, maybe you can get a few more jobs, and it won't be a waste of time to travel all the way."
"Indeed, no one in our village has ever come to take pictures. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I guess the villagers will be willing to take one or two photos."
"That is to say, put the food away first, and cook later. You go to change your clothes first, dress better, and dress the children better. Dress up and be more energetic, and the photos will look good."
"Hey, good~"
Lin Xiuqing happily led the child back to the house to change clothes.
There are already a few photos in the family, but there is no group photo. What's more, there is a new member in the family this year, and Ye Xiaoxi must be added.
Sister-in-law Ye and Second-sister-in-law Ye also came out of the house to ask questions, and asked about the price by the way.
When they heard that it would cost one yuan to take a photo and wash it out, both of them hesitated a little, and it was Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua who directly agreed that they would also take a photo.
“I’ve never taken a photo before, and it’s nothing to spend a few dollars.”
"For Chinese New Year, take two photos to make the whole family happy and to keep a souvenir. Our whole family hasn't taken a photo yet."
Ye Yaodong nodded with a smile, "That's the reason. Now that I've photographed it, I can take it out to have a look when I get old. Otherwise, when you get old, you won't remember what you looked like when you were young. Anyway, you don't know what you looked like in a few years." You must take a picture, so what’s the point of spending a few dollars?”
Sister Ye and Second Sister Ye also felt reasonable when she heard it, and she was cruel, planning to take a few photos at home.
The two sisters-in-law hurriedly took the child back to the house and changed into clean and beautiful new clothes.
Ye Yaodong asked his eldest brother to ride his bicycle by the way, and asked his father and mother to come over, and the whole family took a group photo, of course they cannot be missing.
As for why he doesn't go...
He was tired from going back and forth to town, so of course he had to take a break, and he had to change clothes, after all, their home was the first to shoot.
The children of the neighbors next door heard that they wanted to take pictures, and they ran home one after another clamoring for pictures.
It turned out to be a long wait, and the neighbors on the left and right also made appointments for a while and wanted to shoot.
This Coke broke the photographer, and he took several jobs just after he arrived.
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Look, I'm not wrong, am I? I told you, I told you to come here earlier, and remember to give me a discount later, it's cheaper."
"Okay, okay~"
Currently, the photos are still taken in black and white, and there are no color photos yet. If you want color photos, you have to manually color them. This is a technical job.
Manual coloring of a color photo costs more than a dozen yuan, which is equivalent to 1/3 of the monthly salary of an ordinary worker.
Thinking that his parents didn't come over so soon, Ye Yaodong and his family of five changed their clothes and planned to shoot first.
After the shooting, I took another personal photo for the old lady.
The old lady was reluctant at first, thinking that she had just taken a photo a few months ago, and it would be a waste to take another photo.
However, I thought that I had just changed into the red flower padded jacket that Ah Qing made last year, and the red scarf that Ye Yaodong bought for her during the Mid-Autumn Festival was tied around my neck.
She also felt that she was very energetic and good-looking today, so she stood in front of the bicycle and took a photo with half-push.
"Father, is it time for us to take a picture once Mrs. Tai finished it? Can we also take a picture alone?"
Ye Chenghu felt a little unsatisfactory. He only took one photo just now. He even tied a red scarf around his neck today.
"Okay, okay~"
As long as you can take pictures, he doesn't mind a few people taking pictures together.
The three brothers and sisters stood from high to low, Ye Xiaoxi could only stand in the cage, looking at the front in a daze, with a pink hat on his head, looking extremely cute and soft.
The couple also took a photo together, standing at the door of their house, which felt quite meaningful.
After the filming, Ye Yaodong urged Lin Xiuqing to take another solo photo.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "I have already taken enough photos, and I don't need to take another one alone. It's also quite expensive. It costs one yuan to take a photo..."
"It's okay, we can afford it, there is no woman who doesn't like to take pictures. We have already taken pictures at the door, why not go inside? Just sit in front of your sewing machine and take another picture."
At this time, people choose monotonous backgrounds for taking photos, either standing next to TVs, tape recorders and other home appliances, or holding bicycles or holding artificial flowers.
After all, these electrical appliances are big items in the home, so it should be shown in the camera.
While they were taking pictures, the bike showed up, now it's the sewing machine's turn!
This is an important evidence to record their family’s living standards in the 1980s. Of course, it must be included in the photo. Otherwise, how will future generations know that he is so successful after decades?
No! Just forgot to show up on the radio!
It’s okay, let the old lady sit when the group photo is taken later. Then put a stool next to it, and put a radio on the stool!
Perfect!
Ye Yaodong happily pushed Lin Xiuqing into the house, and the children also booed and ran into the house.
Laughing and laughing, the whole family watched happily, and the neighbors on the left and right were very envious, and they didn't care about eating, so they all followed in and looked forward to their turn.
Ye's father and Ye's mother also put on new clothes, and they arrived happily.
Mother Ye looked at Lin Xiuqing sitting in front of the sewing machine with a gentle smile on her face, and felt itchy. After she finished taking pictures, she offered to take a picture sitting in front of the sewing machine too.
The whole family looked on cheerfully, even the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law Ye were very excited, but it was a pity that their family did not have a sewing machine.
Borrowing my sister-in-law's sewing machine to take pictures, I always feel a little uncomfortable, after all, it is not my own, and they are a little bit reluctant to spend that one yuan to take pictures of themselves alone.
After Ye Mu finished taking pictures, they planned to take a big group photo at the door.
This group photo was paid for by Ye Yaodong after all, so the venue was taken as a matter of course at the entrance of their courtyard!
"Ahh~ finally we are here!"
"It's finally time for us to take pictures~"
"I want to stand here~
"Then I will stand here~"
"Ah ~ you don't stand in front of me..."
"I want to ride on the bike..."
"Huh? I want to ride on the bike too..."
Finally, it was the turn of a group of children to play. They were all very excited, jostling each other, trying to find their own seats noisily.
As a result, I stood blindly, one in the east and one in the west, and two people climbed on the same bicycle. The people watching couldn't laugh or cry...
In the end, the photographer arranged for them to stand, so that they reluctantly gave up their personal wishes and obeyed the arrangement.
Ye Yaodong also deliberately took out the radio and put it on the stool, let the old lady sit on the armchair, and placed it next to her. Anyway, there is nothing to decorate, and the radio is missing at home!
The photographer also thinks his arrangement is very good.
"Everyone is standing up! Standing neatly..."
"Wait...wait...and Da Heizi, and my dogs..." Ye Chenghu suddenly jumped up, "Father... Da Heizi and the others also want to shoot together!"
Everyone was instantly covered in black lines!
Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Chenghu, "What's the matter with those dogs taking pictures of us adults? Don't mess around, stand up for me quickly, there are still many people waiting to take pictures."
"But they are also part of our family, we can't forget them! I want Dashenzi to take pictures with them too!"
A group of dogs seemed to know what they were talking about, and walked up to them, wagging their tails excitedly, and rubbed against their feet.
"Should we even rush over to shoot the chickens and ducks?" Lin Xiuqing said angrily.
"Huh? Do you also want to shoot chicken and duck together?"
Everyone burst out laughing instantly.
Lin Xiuqing scolded the eldest son, "Stop messing around!"
Ye Yaodong also felt that what the eldest son said made sense. These dogs are also quite clever and cute. After raising them for so long, they are of course part of their family.
"Then let's take pictures of them too. Anyway, it's a picture of a person or a dog..."
Lin Xiuqing's head is full of black lines. Is it a person or a dog? Is this how the word is used?
Ye Chenghu was instantly happy, and quickly ordered the group of dogs to squat down in front of him.
"You have to laugh too, you know?"
"Card!"
The photographer felt that the picture of Ye Chenghu directing the puppy like this is quite interesting, so he took a snapshot directly by the way, and thought it was a gift for them.
Then they were asked to stand up straight, and a group photo was presented in a well-behaved manner.
In the picture, a few puppies appear in front of the children, which is different from the well-behaved photos, and it feels quite loving.
"Very good, your house is quite lively."
There is another one coming later, don't wait.
I can’t finish writing until two o’clock, I’m going to bed, and I’ll make up for it tomorrow. I’ve been adding updates recently, and the intensity is a bit high. Can I ask for a monthly ticket~
