Chapter 611 Invite People to Come and Take Photos (Additional Update to Moonlight)
The closer to the New Year, the more lively the village becomes. Children are running and jumping, and laughter is everywhere. The same goes for their family. What the children look forward to most all year round is the New Year.
Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the wind and couldn't go out to sea, so he specially rode his bicycle to the photo studio in the town to find the boss.
Today is the twelfth day of the lunar calendar. After returning from his mother-in-law's house a few days ago, he has been busy going to sea, and it was only today that he took time out.
It's not yet the New Year's Eve, so the photo studio shouldn't be very busy, and the weather is not bad today, so hurry up and invite people to take photos, otherwise in a few days, there will probably be more people taking photos.
He already felt regretful that he didn't take a family photo in the first year after he was reborn last year. He only took a photo of the four of them. This year he must take a family photo.
Everything else can be discussed later, what to do in the future, only time cannot be stopped, and memory will also fade. If I don’t take more photos now, in the future, only the fragments of memories will be left. With the photos, I can still clearly recall the past. .
Take photos of all the good things now and look at them later. They are full of memories. This is the most precious thing.
Ye Yaodong was pedaling his bicycle, and the cold wind blowing directly towards his sleeves and collar was so cold that there was a shameless Ye Chenghu sitting behind him.
The father and son chatted while riding the bike, which was not boring at all.
"Isn't it good to play at home? It's so lively with so many people playing together. You have to come out to enjoy the cold air."
"I'm not cold! Just follow them! It's not fun to follow them, it's fun to follow you."
"Let's make an agreement first. I won't buy you anything to eat. Don't make any mistakes. Don't think that if you come out, you can eat whatever you want. I don't have money." Ye Chenghu wrinkled his nose and snorted twice.
"You took all my New Year's money, and you still say you have no money."
"What's your New Year's money? You don't want it anymore. It's not mine anymore? That's the New Year's money my mother-in-law gave me. What else do you have to do with me?"
"No, I was thinking about asking grandma to give me two copies next year, so that I can hand in one and keep one. I was so stupid that I forgot to tell grandma. I was so angry." Ye Yaodong It makes me happy to hear it,
"What a good boy, your mind is spinning pretty fast? Are you still thinking of asking your grandma to take it back and give you a double share next year?" No wonder that when he saw Mother Lin taking out the red envelope that day, he hurried forward and pulled her into the house.
"Who told Hui Hui Niang to take it all away? I asked her for it, but she didn't have it."
"Then you ask me, no, this is mine." Ye Chenghu pouted, feeling aggrieved. He finally caught his father today, and his hope was shattered again.
I thought his father would be easier to talk to and could give him some pocket money or buy something to eat. Alas~ When will he grow up?
When Ye Yaodong heard that there was no movement behind him, he chuckled twice and ignored him. How could a child put so much money in his hand? An occasional three or five cents would be enough to make other children envious.
He is quite spoiled with his children. If other children dare to ask for money, their parents will spray them with blood.
Ye Chenghu's depressed mood did not last long. When the bicycle arrived in town, he could no longer see clearly and was still angry.
Sitting in the back seat, he stretched his neck so far that he looked left and right, wishing he had a pair of eyes on both sides and on the back of his head, making it impossible to see clearly.
There are shops on both sides, with vendors setting up stalls everywhere, people going to the market, and the sound of shouting coming and going.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are markets every day in the town. The roadside stalls are full of everything, including food, entertainment, and everything you need.
Although Ye Chenghu came here once last year, looking at it again this year, it is still very fresh. Which child does not like the excitement? This is not something you can see every day.
"Dad, dad~ sells candied haws, and~"
"Sit down and sit still, otherwise if I don't watch you later, you will be abducted by a kidnapper. I won't have anywhere to look for you. It won't be too miserable if your hands and feet are cut off and your eyes are gouged out." Ye Chenghu said. He shuddered and didn't dare to move anymore. This was not the first time that his father had talked about the tragic situation after being abducted, but this time he felt that he was much more serious.
"If I didn't move, I would grab your clothes and stay in the car, unable to get out."
"Well, hold my waist so you won't be afraid of being carried away. Be good and I'll buy you something delicious when you get back later." Ye Chenghu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, looking extremely well-behaved. But then he realized that his father couldn't see him, so he immediately agreed happily,
"I knew you were the best, Dad."
"Don't give me the ecstasy soup." Ye Yaodong also looked around while riding, looking at the stalls on the roadside. There was nothing strange about it, but for people nowadays, this was already extremely lively.
As he walked further into the street, there were more and more people. He couldn't keep riding on the bicycle, so he could only get off and push him. Ye Chenghu still let him sit firmly in the back seat to avoid being squeezed.
Afraid that it would be inconvenient to stop and buy things on the way back later, he thought he would stop on the way, so he simply bought some roasted seeds and nuts and some candies. When he saw someone selling red dates and longans, he weighed two kilograms and put them all in front of the bicycle. in the basket.
Ye Chenghu's pockets were also stuffed with melon seeds, dates and candies. He was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He sat in the car and ate while shopping. He was very happy because his father was willing to spend money.
He said it was wise to come out with his father! Yangyang doesn’t even have to eat yet! Ye Yaodong originally wanted to see if there was anyone selling Spring Festival couplets, so he would buy them all at once so that he would not have to find time to buy them in more than ten days.
Unexpectedly, I walked all the way and didn't see anyone selling Spring Festival couplets. I don't know if it was still early and no one had put them out yet.
But if you don’t have time, you can just forget it. When you have time, go out and buy it. If you don’t have time, just ask the fortune teller in the next village to write one.
The father and son walked up and down, and by the time they reached the photo studio, the basket in front of the car was full, and even the handles on both sides were hung with several paper bags and small net bags of various kinds. food.
Ye Chenghu was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.
"Dad, I will give you back the New Year's money next year, not mom!"
"Yes, as long as you can convince your mother, or you can give me all the pocket money you saved."
"I don't have any pocket money, and my mother doesn't even give it to me. I even took the toothpaste tube to replace the maltose a few days ago. I exchanged it for a piece, and then Yangyang and I licked it one bite at a time." Ye Yaodong: "..." This is what happened. It was pitiful that each of them was licking and eating... He couldn't bear to coax their pocket money.
"When I get back, I'll tell your mother that I'll give you two cents a day to buy something to eat after school."
"Really?" Ye Chenghu was so happy that he almost jumped off his bike, and the bike almost tipped over.
"Dad, are you serious? You can't lie!"
"Sit tight for me." Ye Chenghu was very excited,
"Dad, remember to go back and tell your mother to give me two cents a day as pocket money. There is a lot of food to eat at the school gate as soon as school is over, but it is so busy that some people can go buy something to eat, and we can only stand there. Watch for a while, then go home in a gray state."
"Well, then you have to study hard. If you fail the exam all day long, your mother will definitely not agree. It's okay if she doesn't give you a whip." Ye Chenghu's face suddenly collapsed again,
"Do you still want to study hard?"
"Well, for sure, your mother is not easy to talk to, but if you do well in the exam, I will ask her to give you a reward."
"Okay." Ye Yaodong showed his good intentions to prevent his children from being like him and losing interest and not wanting to study after a few days.
After all, there is money hanging there. In order to receive pocket money, why do we have to be serious?
This is also a good method for children who currently lack food and clothing. When he was a child, his mother was too nagging. If she had tempted him with money, he would definitely not have dropped out of school early. He would have had to go to school for a few more years, which would have saved him from being unable to read a few Chinese characters.
They had nothing to eat at that time, and they had to work. They worked during the day and went to school at night. They dropped out of school early just to catch fish and shrimps in the mountains and seas, pick fruits to open small stoves, and worship at the temple of the five internal organs.
Despite the constant flow of people on the street, the front of the photo studio was quite deserted, with only two pairs of men and women queuing up to take pictures.
Taking photos at this time is usually done at ceremonial moments such as weddings, graduations, and farewells.
Most people rarely take photos and are reluctant to spend the money. He thought these two couples were here to take wedding photos. Many people got married years ago.
As the saying goes, whether you have money or not, it’s better to have a wife to celebrate the New Year. Ye Yaodong saw that there were many things in the basket in front of the bicycle, and he did not dare to put the child and things at the door, lest he turn around and lose both people and money, so he took Ye Chenghu and waited at the door for a while.
When I saw someone coming out, I immediately called the photo studio owner to explain his purpose. The owner of the photo studio is also very impressed with him. There are not many people who can ask him to come and take pictures. He can count them on ten fingers all year round. What's more, Ye Yaodong is handsome, good at talking, and very good at talking. Easy to make a good impression.
"Afternoon, right? There is a market this morning. There are many people coming and going, and there may be other people who want to take pictures." Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. He didn't want to wait until the afternoon, and his time was precious.
"Why don't you come with me after these two people finish taking pictures? How can you make money by taking one or two pictures here? I have a lot of family members, so I have to take a lot of pictures, and my brother's family will definitely take pictures as well."
"I can go there in time in the afternoon..."
"When you see us taking family photos in our village, other people will definitely ask you to take photos. During the Chinese New Year, everyone is willing to spend money to take a family photo. If you go early, you can make more money. Working here Wait, who knows if there are any customers?" The photo studio owner hesitated.
"Then you can help spread the word in your village?"
"This is simple and easy to say." With his mother here, are you afraid that you won't be able to publicize it? When the time comes, let his mother go to the Women's Federation and say a few words, and those women will probably rush to take pictures.
It is natural for women to love taking photos, no matter what time, not to mention those who can make money and are paid, will be more willing than ordinary women.
