"They've only known each other for less than half a year, are they getting married so soon?"

Wang Taozhi looked back at her in confusion, "Half a year isn't enough? Are you talking about a lifelong partner?

They're both quite grown up, and in my opinion, they should have decided on a date when they first met and felt they were a good match. Procrastinating is just a waste of time."

He Ruixue disagreed, "Shouldn't we give them more time to get familiar with each other?"

"How can you be familiar with each other? After marriage, you have most of your life to get so familiar with each other that you get tired of seeing each other."

He Ruixue picked up the list she had made and checked it, crossing out items like wedding candies and cakes, and also omitting the expenses for furniture and bedding.

"I'll pay for all this, just like I'm her aunt adding to her dowry. Have you guys agreed on the man's betrothal gift?"

"It's already been agreed. Wen Jie is a considerate man. He said he would give me a sewing machine and a radio, which would make up the three turns and one ring. The other thing is 188 yuan.

I plan to give all of it to Xiaojie as a dowry. Our family doesn't need it, and as long as they live well, it's more important than anything else."

He Ruixue gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law is really straightforward. I can't be stingy. Look, didn't Xiaojie already like my camera?

She usually loves to take it everywhere she goes for photos, and since she’s getting married, I think it’s a perfect gift for her.”

He Xiaojie is really interested in photography. Ever since she taught me some simple photography skills during my last trip to Beijing, I have often come to her for advice after returning.

However, He Ruixue herself is not a professional, and is afraid of misleading students, so she usually says she doesn't know about knowledge that she is not sure about.

Moreover, the equipment in later generations is very different from that of today, so what she can teach is really limited.

He Xiaojie was very persistent. She felt that the photos she took were always not very good-looking, so she went to ask the master in the photo studio for advice.

How could she be taught how to eat? It would be too late to kick her out.

Later, thanks to Pan Shuyu's connections, he found a retired photographer in the cinema. He used to be a film shooter, but when he could no longer carry the camera, he came back to work as a projectionist to retire.

She came to his house many times, and only with full sincerity did he accept her as his apprentice.

After two years of study, He Xiaojie's photography skills are no longer comparable to He Ruixue's. At least she is much better than He Ruixue in composition and use of light.

Not only is she incredibly talented, she also has excellent aesthetic sense. The photos she takes are more focused on discovering the beauty and personality traits of the subjects than those taken by male photographers.

The same black and white photos she took always look better than others.

For landscape photos, she has learned what kind of weather and angles produce better results.

The scene selection is more inclined towards details, has its own unique characteristics, and has an aura that is ready to burst out.

To be honest, she lacked film to practice with and could only attend classes in her spare time. It was quite remarkable that she could learn to this level in just two years.

Even the old master at the cinema said that there was nothing more he could teach her, otherwise it would only destroy her nascent personal style.

Even He Ruixue was wondering if she was a great photographer who was delayed by the times?

Wang Taozhi had no idea of ​​supporting her child's development of hobbies. She just wanted her to go to work honestly and help with housework when she came home.

"Your furniture and other things are worth a lot of money, why give her that expensive stuff?

If she really likes it, she can come back and borrow it from you. It's only a few steps away from home. It's not like she's married and moved away and you'll never see her again."

"Sometimes inspiration strikes and cannot be delayed. She takes it and shoots it however she wants without asking me for permission."

"Film is free. I think you're just spoiling her. After they get married, she'll have a lot of things to take care of at home. How can she have the time to go out and shoot this and that every day?"

Wang Taozhi disagreed. She had long been dissatisfied with her children's lack of study.

If it weren't for the fact that the photo she took of "people queuing up to buy grain" at the grain station was published in the newspaper and she was praised by her leader and awarded 20 yuan, she would have stopped He Xiaojie from continuing to learn that money-burning thing.

How scary! Just a click of the finger on that camera costs a dime.

Ever since He Xiaojie started formally learning photography, she has to spend a few more dollars a month on those things that look good but are useless, and things like developer and photo albums are even more of an expense.

How much meat can I buy with this money?

Moreover, she said that many of the photos taken were unusable and had to be thrown away.

Wang Taozhi felt sad when she saw it. Isn’t this just burning money for fun?

"Wen Jie isn't short of money. It's enough for her to use half of her salary for household expenses. If her life becomes worse after marriage than before, what's the point of getting married?"

"They have enough for now, and Wen Jie's salary is high, so won't they have to support the children in the future?

If she has more children, no amount of money will be enough to cover their expenses. I think she should just be quiet. We are not a wealthy family, so we just need to live a good and down-to-earth life."

Wang Taozhi frowned, as if she had done something extremely treasonous. "She'll be busy enough at home and outside in the future, why is she messing around with those useless things? If people find out, they'll say she's not serious.

The reputation of a prodigal daughter-in-law is not a good one. If it gets out, won’t it be because we as parents didn’t teach our children well? "

He Ruixue was a little discouraged, but she didn't think she was old-fashioned and conservative. After all, that's how it is in this era.

If you want to defeat her, you have to be more stubborn than she is.

"It's settled. I'll give her the camera. It's useless to me anyway."

I don't care what you think, I care what I think.

Hearing this, Wang Taozhi's attention was diverted, and she subconsciously grumbled, "Look, you, since you can't use it, why did you spend so much money in the first place..."

He Ruixue interrupted her spellcasting and said, “I don’t think it’s easy to use because it’s a camera from ten years ago and it’s no longer up to date.
