Photo studio.
Ye Xuanhan was wearing a blue cardigan with a white shirt underneath and a black skirt.
Jiang Wang's outfit was simpler, wearing a sweater of the same color as Ye Xuanhan and black pants.
Ye Xuanhan had specially picked out the clothes for the two of them that morning, and the results were very good. Even the photographer felt that the photos were particularly easy to take.
"Come on, lesbians, move closer to gays, and gays smile, that's good."
Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang were very cooperative, so the photographer was also particularly enthusiastic towards them.
"It would be great if everyone who came to take photos had the same tacit understanding as you guys, so I wouldn't have to bother giving instructions."
Ye Xuanhan chuckled and pinched Jiang Wang's sweaty palm.
The man appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely nervous, otherwise he wouldn't have held her hand so tightly when taking the photo.
...
...
"Master, it's better that you guide us, otherwise we would have stiff expressions too."
Ye Hanhan did not forget to praise the old master, which made him laugh. He grinned and took pictures of the two of them.
With a "click", a photo is taken.
Then, the master took three photos of the couple and some individual photos of the two of them.
Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang are both good-looking, so there is no need to choose the angle when taking photos. Any photo will turn out good-looking.
After the photo shoot was over, Jiang Wang took the money to the counter to pay. This photo shoot cost him two yuan.
Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang took the photo quickly, so the old master took a photo of them for free.
"Please come and pick up the photos in two days."
Photos from this era need to be developed, which takes a lot of time, so Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang developed them directly after taking the photos.
On the way home, Ye Han was in a very good mood. He held Jiang Wang's hand and walked around, looking at everything around him.
She was very interested in everything from the 1970s and would stop to look at anything she saw, and Jiang Wang let her stop.
Soon Ye Han discovered an overseas Chinese store on the side of the road. The entire building was a Soviet-style building with fancy reliefs on it, which was out of tune with the surrounding buildings.
So she pointed to the overseas Chinese store and asked, "What's sold in there?"
Jiang Wang followed her finger and saw the sign above the door that read "East Street Overseas Chinese Store".
"This is a store that caters to overseas Chinese and their families. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Jiang Wang remembered that he still had the Overseas Chinese Coupons given by his aunt, which amounted to several hundred yuan in total, but had been lying unused.
If Ye Xuanhan saw something he liked, he could buy it.
"Is it okay?" Ye Hanhan blinked and confirmed again and again.
Jiang Wang couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course."
Ye Xuanhan had never heard of such a place, so of course he wanted to go in and take a look. So after getting Jiang Wang's consent, he took his hand and walked into the store.
As soon as he entered, Ye Hanhan instantly felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
A wide variety of goods are displayed on the shelves, and imported toys, snacks, furniture and other items are placed on the counter.
Ye Xuanhan couldn't take it all in with his eyes, so he walked inside according to the order of the shelves.
The outermost part of the store sells food and drinks, which are beautifully packaged. Further inside, furniture and home appliances are sold.
Ye Han sighed, thinking that in the Huaihua Brigade where he was, they had to think for a long time even to light a kerosene lamp, let alone use electricity.
Every time he walked into a new area, a salesperson would come up to Ye Han and ask if he needed help.
Ye Han felt emotional. He originally thought that department stores were the ceiling of shopping places in this era, but he didn't expect there would be an Overseas Chinese Store.
When she reached the place where watches were sold, Ye Hanhan stopped and stared at a diamond-studded watch.
Jiang Wang thought that she liked the watch, so he prepared to ask the salesperson to take it down for him to have a look.
Before he could open his mouth, Ye Hanhan said, "Jiang Wang, the watch you sent me before was bought here, right? It's exactly the same as that watch," and pointed to the diamond watch on the counter.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"Thank you, Jiang Wang. I like that watch very much."
When Jiang Wang saw that Ye Xuanhan didn’t wear the watch on her hand, he thought she didn’t like it. He also wanted to ask his sister-in-law to see what gifts girls like.
After getting Ye Xuanhan's personal affirmation, Jiang Wang's mood instantly became joyful.
His wife liked the gift he gave her, so it seemed that his previous efforts were not in vain.
Ye Hanhan just mentioned it casually, then put the matter aside and continued walking inside.
After taking a look around, she found that everything inside was more expensive than outside, and there were very few things she could afford. Ye Hanhan lost interest and prepared to pull Jiang Wang's hand and walk out.
As a result, just as I was about to go out, I saw a familiar figure walking in.
Ye Hanhan thought of the girl he met at Deputy Director Lin's house that day, and the girl who stood outside watching the fun when the Lin family was sealed off. It was the same girl in front of him.
I saw the other person with his hands in his pockets, as if he was holding something. He walked straight to the counter, took out the Overseas Chinese coupons and money, and wanted to buy a watch in the store.
Ye Xuanhan stared at the girl for four or five seconds until Jiang Wang pushed her and she came to her senses.
"What's wrong? Don't you have anything to buy?"
Ye Yanhan shook his head and looked away.
To be honest, the girl did arouse her interest. But now was not a good time to approach her, so Ye Han finally gave up the idea of chatting with the girl.
"Let's go. I don't want anything, and we can't buy anything here."
Ye Xuanhan looked around for a while and realized that things in the Overseas Chinese Stores had to be purchased with Overseas Chinese Coupons, so having money alone was useless.
"I have some overseas Chinese coupons on me, and they're about to expire. Why don't we buy something so we don't waste it?"
Jiang Wang could see that although Ye Xuanhan said he was leaving, his eyes were still on the various items in the store.
He will definitely try his best to satisfy his wife's needs.
Upon hearing that Jiang Wang had an Overseas Chinese Voucher, Ye Xuanhan's eyes lit up.
"How many?"
"five hundred."
Ye Hanhan walked directly to the counter and asked the salesperson for a men's watch.
It is very similar to the one that Jiang Wang gave her, but this one is more stable and low-key.
"Salesman, how much is this watch?" Ye Han asked, pointing at the watch.
"Three hundred yuan," the salesperson said as soon as he heard that Ye Hanhan wanted to buy a watch, he immediately left the girl on the other side and started to serve Ye Hanhan.
"Comrade, you have a good eye. This watch is a new product in our store. Although it doesn't look fancy like other watches, it looks really good on your wrist."
What Ye Xuanhan cares about is not the appearance of the watch, but its value.
When Jiang Wang gave her the watch, he had already made up for it with some knowledge about watches from the 1970s.
