Chapter 335
After paying New Year's greetings and receiving red envelopes, Haohao and Ranran dragged Chen Shun, who had also received red envelopes, to the slum to play snowballs.
Ye Fuyue took out the red envelope she had prepared in advance and stuffed it into Chen Guifeng's pocket. "Mom, you worked so hard last year. I'm going to college this year, and there will be even more things at home that require your hard work."
Chen Guifeng repeatedly pushed the red envelope back: "You guys always give me money, how can I accept your red envelopes again!"
"Mom, just accept it. This is a little gift from Fu Yue. Just consider it as a gift to add to the joy." Chen Yao said.
Seeing this, Chen Guifeng accepted the red envelope.
She opened the red envelope and took a look. She saw three big unity notes inside. She immediately wanted to return the red envelope to Ye Fuyue.
"You guys packed too much. I've already taken so much money from you."
Chen Guifeng now said she would not accept anything.
After Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao had a lot of persuasion, Chen Guifeng reluctantly accepted the red envelope.
Ye Fuyue glanced at the snowy world outside and said to Chen Guifeng, "Mom, let's go take some pictures."
"Just shoot in the yard. Qiqi is still sleeping in the house. After the shoot, you, Shen Yao, and Chen Kang can go outside to shoot." Chen Guifeng said.
Ye Fuyue then took a few photos of Chen Guifeng and Chen Kang in the yard, and Chen Kang took a few photos of Chen Yao and Ye Fuyue.
Shen Kang didn't want to go out and wanted to stay at home with Chen Guifeng. So Ye Fuyue took the camera and went out with Shen Yao.
Ye Fuyue saw Haohao, Ranran, Shen Shun and Fan Hua having a lot of fun playing snowball fights, and took several photos of them.
When Fan Hua saw the camera, he ran over curiously and asked, "Auntie, is this a camera?"
"Yes." Ye Fuyue replied with a smile.
"Were you taking pictures of us just now?" Fan Hua asked again.
"yes."
Fan Hua was so excited: "Can you take a few photos of me alone?"
"Sure." Ye Fuyue agreed happily.
So, Fan Hua posed in various ways in the snow and asked Ye Fuyue to take pictures of him.
Chen Shun felt distressed watching this: "Fan Hua, that's enough! If you keep taking pictures, the camera will be out of film!"
Fan Hua scratched his head embarrassedly: "Auntie, the photos are developed, I want them all, I'll pay you."
Before Ye Fuyue could say anything, Zhong Lan came over with Yao Zaoer.
"Fuyue, can you take a picture of me and Zao'er? I'll pay you."
Cui Li came over with Huan Di and Lai Bao and said, "I want to take a picture too. I'll pay you."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue said, "Fifty cents a photo. If you think the price is right, I'll take it for you."
Last time outside the examination room, Ye Fuyue took photos of Miao Xiaomei, Aunt Donghong and her family and charged them fifty cents per photo.
It’s not that she is stingy, but cameras in this era have to use film, and film costs money.
She can't just provide the camera and pay for the film and post-production development. Plus, she's busy taking photos, sending the film for development, and then picking up the photos. A mere ten cents per photo isn't too much, is it?
Zhong Lan and Cui Li gladly accepted the price.
These days, the only way to take photos is to go to a photo studio, where each photo costs at least 80 cents. And you can only take photos inside a photo studio; you can't take photos outside like this. Ye Fuyue charged them 50 cents, which was a good deal.
Zhong Lan took a photo with Yao Zaoer, and then took a photo with Yao Hong and Yao's father.
Cui Li did the same. She took a photo with Laibao and Huan Di, and also took a photo with Liang Nan and Liang's father.
Liang Nan and Liang's father were reluctant at first, thinking that fifty cents was too expensive and could buy several eggs.
Cui Li said, "If you guys don't want to take pictures, I'll take Laibao and Huandi with me. It's rare to be able to take pictures outside, and the price is cheaper than in a photo studio. I want to keep a souvenir."
Liang Nan and Liang's father thought about it and realized that the price was indeed cheaper than that in the photo studio, so they agreed to take the photo.
When Ye Fuyue was taking pictures of them, many people in the compound saw it and wanted Ye Fuyue to take pictures for them.
After Ye Fuyue mentioned the price, many people began to back out.
"Fifty cents a ticket, isn't that too expensive?" an aunt asked tactfully.
"It's just very expensive!" Zhou Jinmei said, "Those who get into college are different. They earn so much money that they benefit their neighbors."
"The photo studio charges 80 cents per photo. If you think it's too expensive, go to the photo studio yourself." Wu Zhenzhen said.
"That's right. When you go to a photo studio to take a picture, do you dare to tell the owner that it's too expensive? You just pay whatever price he says. You will focus on your neighbors and take advantage of them." Aunt Donghong said.
"Aunt Zhou, it's fifty cents a photo, you can take the picture or not. If you don't, I'll be happy to have some free time, and I don't have to freeze my hands taking pictures of you in the heavy snow." Ye Fuyue said to Zhou Jinmei with a forced smile.
"Jinmei, if you don't want to take a picture, please go away. My son and I need to take a picture." Aunt Qian pulled Qian Qiang, squeezed Zhou Jinmei aside, and said to Ye Fuyue, "Fuyue, please take a picture of me and your brother Qiangzi in front of my house. I want to keep it as a souvenir."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue smiled happily.
Zhou Jinmei looked at Aunt Qian and her face turned blue with anger.
She also wanted to take a picture with her eldest grandson. She wanted to negotiate a lower price, which would benefit herself and everyone else.
What a bunch of ignorant people.
Seeing that Ye Fuyue had finished taking pictures of Aunt Qian and Qian Qiang, Zhou Jinmei said arrogantly, "Fifty cents is fine. It saves me from having to go to the photo studio in the cold weather with my eldest grandson. Ye Fuyue, take a picture of me and my eldest grandson."
Ye Fuyue glanced at her and shook her head lightly: "No."
"Why?" Zhou Jinmei's face turned ugly.
"I bought the camera and the film. I can take pictures of whoever I want. Do I need to tell you the reason?" Ye Fuyue said calmly.
"I'm not not giving you money!" Zhou Jinmei was furious.
"I don't need your fifty cents." Ye Fuyue said leisurely, "If you want to take pictures, go buy a camera and film yourself, or go to a photo studio yourself."
"You—" Zhou Jinmei looked at Ye Fuyue's attitude and wanted to go up and scratch her flower: "I just said that fifty cents was too expensive, and you are so petty and targeting me?!"
"Yes, I am narrow-minded. You think it's too expensive, and coincidentally, I don't want to take a photo for you either. How great." Ye Fuyue said with an indifferent attitude.
The others, seeing this, were thankful they hadn't voiced their opinions. Although they also thought fifty cents a photo wasn't cheap, it was at least cheaper than going to a photo studio.
At this moment, these people surrounded Ye Fuyue one by one and asked her to take pictures of their family.
