Ningxia believed it and didn't plan to wear the red dress on her wedding day.
She had no plans to wear the green work clothes of that era, as she had already prepared clothes for her and Ren Jingxiao.
"Let's go take a photo." Ningxia thought that she and Ren Jingxiao didn't even have a photo together, so they had to take wedding photos.
"Take pictures?" Ren Jingxiao had never heard of this.
"Photos record what we look like now, so that when we are old, we can take them out and reminisce about them slowly." Ningxia explained to him while pulling him aside.
By the time they arrived at the only photo studio in the county, Ren Jingxiao basically understood what the photos meant, and he was even more excited than Ningxia.
The photo studio has a very small facade, with old, pitch-black glass. There is a wooden sign hanging on the door with the words "Photographic Development" written on it.
Once inside, the place was even smaller, with only a long bench in the middle, and no one inside except for a guy cleaning his camera.
"Do you two want to take a picture?" The middle-aged man put down the camera in his hand and looked over.
"Yes, take pictures, wedding pictures." Ren Jingxiao's voice scared the master. It's just wedding pictures, why are you yelling?
Ningxia looked at a wooden cabinet beside her, on which were several photos pressed against glass. They were all black and white, without the beautification techniques of later generations, but the effect was very realistic.
"How many photos do you want to take?" The master took out a pen and prepared to write a note.
"Two individual photos each and four group photos." Ningxia spoke.
"Xia Xia, take a few more pictures? What if you lose them later?"
Ren Jingxiao originally planned to take dozens of photos and hang them all over the house, but what are these few photos enough for?
"We can't take all these photos in one go. We'll come here once a year. Just imagine where we'll put all these photos in the next few decades."
Ningxia looked at Ren Jingxiao's excitement and felt a little amused.
"A one-inch photo is thirty-five cents, and a two-inch one is fifty cents." The master quickly wrote them a note with a pen.
There are very few families taking photos nowadays. People can’t even get enough to eat, so who has the time to take photos of this?
When the master set up the camera and called the two people, he looked at their sticky appearance and coughed lightly.
Nowadays, even married couples keep a distance of eight feet from each other on the street.
If two people look at each other, they will feel shy. Look at this couple again. The look in the man's eyes when he looks at the woman is like honey.
It’s so good to be young! Back when he and his wife were dating, they were even sweeter than them!
"Comrade?" Ningxia called out to the master who was standing there in a daze.
"Oh, okay, you guys sit down and leave..." The master didn't finish his words, and shut up when he looked at the two people who were sitting close to each other.
He's been taking photos for years, and no matter which couple gets married, the woman always blushes and the man can't let go. He always has to talk and talk, give and give orders.
Today these two are good, so he can save a lot of trouble.
Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia were standing close to each other, both with happy smiles showing naturally on their faces.
Thinking of the person sitting next to him, the master couldn't stop smiling without saying anything.
With a "click", the two of them left the first photo together in this era.
The photo was taken very quickly. Needless to say, Ningxia's appearance is not that ugly even if it is blurred.
Ren Jingxiao's tough look, standing next to Ningxia, also looks particularly harmonious. The master is very satisfied with this set of photos.
After the two of them took the photos, Ren Jingxiao went to pay the money, and in the end he secretly developed a few more photos.
Even if there is another chance to take photos in the future, this is the first time to take photos, and it is a wedding photo. Ren Jingxiao feels that it has special significance.
Ren Jingxiao chose the largest size and picked out a few photo frames before paying with satisfaction.
The master gave them a receipt, but they would not receive the photos until a month later.
Ren Jingxiao walked out of the photo studio with a smile on his face. He felt indescribably satisfied when he thought that the appearance of him and Xia Xia had been preserved.
"Okay, are you stupid?" Ningxia glared at him and said, "They are outside, so be more reserved."
"Xia Xia, are you hungry? Let's go eat something?"
Ren Jingxiao thought that he had prepared everything he needed to buy, but he still wanted to go to the department store to see if he had forgotten anything.
Ningxia checked her watch. It wasn't even eleven yet. Not particularly hungry, she dragged Ren Jingxiao to the County People's Park.
"Since you're here, let me show you this dating paradise."
Ningxia had seen this place last time, but she didn't have enough time, so she didn't come to visit.
Ningxia bought the tickets at the gate and dragged Ren Jingxiao in. The scenery inside was quite nice, with a few children occasionally running over with windmills in their hands.
There were several young men and women sitting on the benches, each sitting at the other end of the chair. If there was a thinner seat in the middle, there would be room for two or three people.
Ningxia looked at the female comrades who were talking like cats, and the male comrades wanted to get closer but didn't dare. Finally, they looked at each other, and both of their faces looked like monkey butts.
She pulled the curious Ren Jingxiao away and found an empty chair and sat down naturally.
"What are they doing?" Ren Jingxiao looked at the strange men and women over there.
"Blind date." Ningxia knew that this park has always been the cradle of marriage.
"Can't they find a wife?" As soon as Ren Jingxiao finished speaking, Ningxia covered his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense. They are on a blind date. Only by getting to know each other can you know whether the two are suitable for each other." Ningxia feels that blind dates in this era are very unreliable.
The two of them don't know each other, and there is no chance for them to get to know each other. Their parents are more concerned about the man's family background and whether he can help his parents' family after marriage.
Although there are some who truly love their daughters and will carefully examine the man's character, they are very rare.
"I don't need a blind date. I will find you no matter where Xia Xia is."
Ren Jingxiao no longer looked at the men over there. They were no match for him.
Ningxia looked at Ren Jingxiao and thought that even if they came from different worlds, they would always stop in the same place and they would always be each other's destination.
I don’t know why, but Ningxia thinks so.
"Yes, we will find each other." Ningxia secretly hooked Ren Jingxiao's hand with her little finger.
The calloused palms made her feel particularly at ease.
The two of them just sat on the bench, enjoying the breeze and the rare quietness.
"It's past twelve o'clock, let's go eat." Ningxia herself was not very hungry, but Ren Jingxiao was definitely hungry.
When the two arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Sun Yuejiao ran away as if she had seen a ghost.
When she looked again, Zhang Zhaodi, who was waiting at the door to beg for her forgiveness, was gone.
Want her to forgive her? Wait until the next life! Sun Yuejiao thought bitterly.
The state-owned restaurant served fish today. Ningxia hadn't eaten fish for a long time since she came here, so she ordered a fish and a cold dish of bean sprouts.
Ningxia had eaten all kinds of stir-fried bean sprouts before, but she wondered if these bean sprouts could be used as a cold dish. Curious, she ordered a portion.
