Chapter 214 Photography
Chapter 214: Taking pictures
The person who can share his biggest secret is undoubtedly the closest person. Maybe others don’t know what this wooden box represents, but the big braid knows it.
He solemnly hung the wooden box around his neck, smiled with a bright smile, and a sweetness that he had never had before in his heart, which was the smell of true love.
She knew the function of this wooden box, but she wanted to wear it for a while and return it to the fat man when there was no one. Besides, she also had a sense of expectation for this magical wooden box and wanted to see the wonderful world inside.
The engagement ceremony ended like this: a cup of tea, a token, and a verbal agreement between everyone. In that era, the words were kept in mind, and it was almost the same if they didn’t say a promise.
As the male parent, Captain Li, as the leader of the fat man, began to plan the future schedule with Aunt Wang. Fat man and Da Braida were kicked out of the house and went to watch a movie in the way that was more popular in the county town at that time.
"I'll go too." Qiqi shouted happily, the little guy likes to join in the fun the most.
The owner of the car smiled and pulled her back: "You little girl, don't get involved today."
The fat man yelled in his mouth, and the big braided man followed behind with his head down and blushed face, leaving the house one after another. When he got outside, the fat man let out a sigh: "I finally feel relieved." After that, he grabbed the big braided manid's little hand.
Although the street lights on the street were not very bright, the man and woman who were pulling hands were still quite eye-catching. In the early 1980s, those who were dating had to keep a distance of about one meter, and only those who were not in a place of no one dared to hold hands. When they saw someone, they had to vent it quickly.
Halfway through the street, the fat man heard the squirming comments coming from behind. Da Braida was also a little shy: "Brother Huang, let go."
"Haha, I want you to feel the space inside the box. Go up there." The fat man pulled his big braid to a secluded place. There were a few old elm trees here, which became even dim because the street lights nearby were broken.
Relying on the tree, the fat man lay on the ears of the big braid and whispered his experience to her. The big braid closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, concentrating his whole heart on the wooden box.
"Have you entered?" the fat man asked with concern.
Big Braid kept shook her head: "Brother Huang, no, I can't get in."
The fat man scratched the back of his head, and suddenly moved his heart. Then he took out a needle from the wooden box and gently tucked it on the middle finger of the big braid. The big braid was a little confused and couldn't help but moan in a low voice: "Brother Huang, it's all bleeding, it hurts."
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." The fat man took her fingers and leaned over to the wooden box. He remembered that the reason why the wooden box became smaller was because it was stained with his blood, so he also called Big Braids to try it.
"Beast!" A loud shout came from not far away, and then a big man flashed out from behind an old elm tree, waved his arms and headed straight for the fat man, showing a roar of dissatisfaction.
The fat man was also startled and thought he had encountered someone robbed the road. However, as the man approached, he smelled a smell of alcohol first, and then he remembered that he might be a meddling drunk.
The fat man who had been singing his teeth and claws held his neck and said, "What do you want to do?"
The big man roared in anger: "You fat man, you actually forced the girl to do that, I must beat you up!"
The fat man was not polite, and the needle gently hit his arm, and he quickly pulled it out just now. The big man shivered, then woke up a little, looked at the big braid and the fat man, and grabbed his hair hard: "Hehe, I misunderstood when you said you just now, bleeding or something."
Big Braida suddenly realized her mind and immediately turned around in shame and hid behind the tree. The fat man was also amused by this guy: "Brother, you have to be steady in the future. Let's talk about what's going on."
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Fatty Brother, I'm just a problem. Can't I call Erlangzi?" The guy left staggeringly and burped a few times.
"It's really everyone." The fat man muttered, then approached the big braid again, and saw her opening her mouth with an incredible expression on her face. The fat man knew that the blood dripping just now had played a role.
"It's so amazing. It's not the legendary paradise!" After a long time, Da Braida exclaimed, there was water and trees in the space inside, without any fireworks on earth.
"From the future, it will belong to our world." The fat man held the big braid's hand, and really wanted to hold his hand and grow old with him.
The two of them walked home and didn't watch the movie at the end, but for Dapizi, they watched the most wonderful movie in their lives.
The wooden box was hung again on the fat man's neck, but its owner has now become two.
"I'll be back so soon, Sister Xiaoyu, what movie can I watch?" Qiqi fully carried forward the spirit of digging the bottom line.
The fat man scratched his head: "Haha, Peach Blossom Land."
The old revolutionary said happily: "We have agreed to marry you two before the New Year."
The fat man was overjoyed when he heard this and his face was filled with joy: "Time is tight, I will hurry up and buy things tomorrow. Haha, I will definitely be able to make it."
"We are talking about the next New Year, why are you in a hurry?" Lao Jiang said slowly with a small pipe.
The next morning, the fat man, under the supervision of several old men, went to the photo studio with Dapengzi, and took a picture of the engagement photo according to the recently popular rules.
Although the fat man wished he could take a wedding photo now, there was nothing he could do. The big braid was not yet at the age of the line.
When he heard about taking pictures, Qiqi certainly wanted to follow him. The little guy was most willing to take pictures, but after coming here, only Masashi Sakurada took a few photos for her.
The photo studio is located on the north side of Cross Street and occupies a very good location. At that time, the importance of an industry could also be seen from its location.
For example, the Cross Street should be the most prosperous place, with four corners of the famous units: Xinhua Bookstore is one, which is the four distinctive big characters written by Chairman Mao; in addition, it will definitely be occupied by department stores, and even non-staple food stores can also occupy a place.
When I arrived at the entrance of the photo studio, I saw the sign saying "Dabei Photo Studio". The windows were filled with large glass more than one person tall, and there were many enlarged photos. Most of them were black and white, and there were also colorful ones. However, the color was relatively single and it was not natural to look at.
The most eye-catching thing in the photo is the People's Liberation Army, wearing a green military uniform, with a glittering hat badge on its head, and its heroic spirit is no wonder that it can become an idol of an era.
There are also many children, and they are all very popular. While looking at the fat man, he said, "If we hang a picture of a strange photo here, it will be the most beautiful." The little girl was so happy that she was eager to try it out on her face.
When I entered the door, because I came early, there were not many people in line in front of me. When I was issuing the invoice, the salesperson stretched out his head and asked, "You three want to take a family photo, how many inches?"
The fat man scratched his head: "Haha, comrade, we want to take the engagement photo."
The man muttered, "What are you taking photos of the second generation? It's better to take a picture of the child if you have that money." He said and issued an invoice.
Qiqi pulled the fat man's clothes, and the fat man hurriedly said, "What, I have to take a single photo for the child."
It was soon the Fatty and the others who entered it, and they were dark and huh. There was a camera on the shelf in front, and a large black cloth was surrounded. When taking pictures, the photographer had to get his head in.
The two of them sat on a long stool and heard the photographer shouting, "The child is sitting in the middle."
The fat man thought: OK, just take it as a family photo, so he pulled Qiqi to the bench. Then he leaned his head hard towards the big braid. The big braid was a little embarrassed, but he still turned to the side.
"Put your head right, don't be confused." The photographer started yelling again.
The fat man finally understood that he had the final say in taking photos these days, so he had to sit upright and be serious.
The photographer was really responsible. After commanding for a long time, he was satisfied. However, the smile on the fat man's face was somewhat stiff. Even Qiqi grinned and decided in his heart: I won't take any photos of the single person after a while.
"Don't move, one, two, three, okay." The photographer pinched the rubber ball in his hand, and the engagement between the fat man and the big braid became eternal. The two adults inside looked a little serious, and Xiao Qiqi had a naive helpless face. The photo cannot be said to be very good, but it can only be said to have distinct characteristics of the times.
Standing up from the stool, the fat man moved his neck and felt a little stiff, which was even more tiring than doing heavy work. Qiqi said that he would not take photos no matter what, and walked out with his big braided hand.
When they walked out of the small dark room, the three of them felt relieved. At this moment, a shout came from the opposite side: "Haha, fat man, it turned out to be you. I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
The fat man looked up and couldn't help but scratch his head. It turned out that he was the drunkard who was meddling in business last night. It seemed that this guy hadn't drunk too much at that time and knew someone.
When Dapizi saw that it was him, he quickly led Qiqi out first. The fat man was ready to say hello and leave. Unexpectedly, another person jumped up next to the man and hugged the fat man: "Haha, brother, it's really you!"
The fat man broke free and saw that the other party had a black face like Zhang Fei, a big bearded face, a rough and generous appearance, and a shiny head. He looked like he was not a good person at first glance.
"You are—" The fat man shook his head, and in his impression, he seemed not to know this person.
The bearded man patted his shoulder hard: "Last time in the detention center, we were number friends, you gave me a cigarette!"
"So it's this guy." The fat man finally remembered that it was the one named Liu Tiedan. However, seeing that everyone in the photo studio looked at him strangely, the fat man hurriedly said, "You are out too. Congratulations, I have something to do, let's go first."
"Brother, how can you leave? I've eaten your big cake and smoked your cigarettes. We're good brothers. I'll invite you to drink later." The bearded man was very generous, swept around unscrupulously, and then followed the fat man out of the photo studio.
"My name is Liu Xingliang. Because I am black, I call me Tiedanzi. This is my brother, and his name is Wang Xuan. He has a very elegant name. He is straightforward. We all call him nickname, Wang Erlangzi, who works in a major repair factory. I used to be that too, but I was fired later. Fat brother, are you a noble surname?" The bearded man scratched his bald head a little embarrassedly, and he forgot the fat man's name.
"My name is Huang Liang, and I am from Kushantun. I came by carriage. I will rush back later. We will get together again when we have the chance." The fat man really didn't want to contact these guys, and he didn't look serious.
"What kind of carriage is in? I'll find a convenient car for you to take back. I basically know the drivers in the county." Wang Erlangzi patted his chest hard, and the sound of the mountain sounded.
"Brother Fatty, do you look down on us? If that's the case, we will go our own way and pretend we never knew each other before!" Liu Xingliang was in the market and could certainly see his eyebrows.
"How can that be?" The fat man had no other problem. He just couldn't spread his flesh on his face. He blamed him for a little more flesh on his face: "The main reason is that there are a lot of people here. Everyone is in the same county. If we meet more in the future, we have the strengths."
Liu Xingliang and Wang Xuan stopped forcing each other. Everyone shook hands with each other, and the fat man ran towards the big braid standing at the door of Xinhua Bookstore.
