Volume 1 Chapter 391 Going to take a family photo
Gu Tingxiao didn't dare to move, for fear of waking her up, so he could only let her sleep while holding his fingers.
Gu Tingxiao held his wife and daughter in his arms and let them take a nap leaning against his warm stove.
Life slowly got back on track. During this period, Sheng Wanyan ate a lot of home-cooked meals, after all, they were always treating guests to meals.
New Year’s Eve has arrived in a flash, and tomorrow we will enter the year 1977.
With the passing of the great man in Kyoto in 1976, the crushing of the Gang of Four, the end of the ten-year "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution", major earthquakes, reservoir collapses, flooding of the Yellow River, etc., major national events occurred.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a bright year...
Sheng Wanyan was somewhat looking forward to it. She was looking forward to the day when the whole country would cheer and shine, and the beginning of the country getting better and better.
The two families had dinner together today. Mr. and Mrs. Sheng did not come this year because Mrs. Sheng used up her vacation the last time she came.
Sheng Wanyan and Pan Yue sent a lot of things back to their two elders, and they also went to the city together to take family photos.
"Shall we take a family photo tomorrow?"
"Bring grandma and them along."
Sheng Wanyan has always wanted to take photos and has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Gu Tingxiao naturally had no objection. It was a good opportunity to take a family photo and send it to Chengdu so that Sheng's father and mother could also have a photo to look at.
"good."
The next day, Sheng Wanze and Gu Tingxiao arranged to rest, borrowed a car and took the children to the city to take pictures.
When they arrived at the photo studio, the photographer recognized Sheng Wanyan and Yi Yi at a glance.
After all, they, mother and daughter, are the best-looking people he has ever photographed, and they are also generous with their money.
"Master, let's take a family photo."
"Okay, okay, how do you want to shoot it?"
"Take a few photos of the family, a few photos of the family of three, and a few photos of the two elderly people."
The photographer nodded when he heard this. He had been taking photos for so many years and knew what they meant.
"Okay, then who of you goes first?"
Sheng Wanyan was afraid that the two elderly people would feel restrained, so she took a group photo first to let them get used to it.
It was the first time for Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng to take a photo in all these years. Not to mention they were very nervous, they didn’t even know how to place their hands and feet.
"They all sat on the stools, with the elderly sitting in the middle, holding the children."
The master in the photo studio knew what was going on at a glance, and started to instruct the two elderly people what to do.
Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng sat in the middle, one holding Hu Zi and the other holding Yi Yi, and the others stood behind.
"Yes, two couples are standing in the back, both smiling."
"Stand up straight and look at me."
Everyone did as they were told. Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng held the child nervously and looked in the direction of the photographer.
"laugh!"
Everyone started smiling, but as for Gu Tingxiao...it was better not to smile.
Hu Zi and Yi Yi were having a great time, looking at the people in front of them and laughing happily, which made it convenient for the photographer.
The whole family took four or five photos. The two old people also got used to it, so they took a few photos alone.
"Let's take a few photos while sitting down, and also take a few photos while standing and holding hands. Don't be shy."
The photographer came forward to instruct Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng on how to stand, and they did as he asked.
Today, Grandpa Sheng specially wore a Zhongshan suit, and Grandma Sheng wore new clothes. Both of them looked full of energy.
"Yes, very good."
"alright."
The photographers took five photos each, and then it was the family of three's turn. Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao took them one by one first.
Yi Yi was confused and sat on his old father's lap, staring blankly ahead.
Children just need to show their faces; adults have no say over what expressions they make.
They look so cute in this way, and the photographer just captured the moment.
As soon as the child turned his head, he would immediately press the shutter button.
Yi Yi wanted to stay in Sheng Wanyan's arms, Sheng Wanyan hugged her, and Yi Yi smiled widely.
The photographer seized the opportunity and recorded Yi Yi's brilliant smile.
"Okay, the other family of three is here."
"You can stand and each hold the child in one hand."
Hu Zi can now jump around everywhere, so the photographer arranged a new pose for them.
Sheng Wanze tidied up his military uniform, and he and Pan Yue each held Hu Zi's hand. Hu Zi looked festive with his chubby face.
"alright."
The photographer completed the task, and Gu Tingxiao pulled Sheng Wanyan to the photographer's side.
"Master, could you please take a few photos of my husband and me?"
The photographer was scared by him. After all, this man had only one expression when taking pictures, and that was expressionless.
But that look has never left his wife. He has not lived in vain despite having lived this long.
He could see clearly that although this man was cold, he loved his wife and his eyes were full of her.
“Sure, sure.”
Sheng Wanyan didn't expect Gu Tingxiao to make this request. The last time they took photos was when they got married.
Sheng Wanyan happened to be wearing a skirt today, and Gu Tingxiao was wearing a military uniform. They looked pleasing to the eye no matter how they stood together.
"Look at me here."
The photographer was talking about Gu Tingxiao. Can this guy look into the camera? ! !
When Gu Tingxiao heard it, he looked over. The photographer quickly took two pictures, but when it came to the third picture, the man only had eyes for his wife again.
The photographer found it funny and had no choice but to take a few more pictures.
Sheng Wanze and Pan Yue saw them taking a few photos alone, and the couple also took a few photos together.
"Do you need it urgently?"
Sheng Wanyan nodded. She planned to send a family photo back to Sheng's father and mother so that they could celebrate the New Year in Chengdu and have something to think about.
"Master, I need it urgently."
"If you want it later, you'll have to pay extra. Come get it in two hours."
Sheng Wanyan nodded and agreed readily. Although it would cost extra money, she could send it to Sheng's father and mother later.
It's a rare occasion for them to come to the city, so this is a good opportunity for them to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. The New Year is coming, so they can buy some New Year goods.
Sheng Wanyan went to buy a few bottles of vanishing cream as all the bottles at home were empty.
I also bought some cloth. Yi Yi's diapers need to be replaced in a new batch, otherwise her butt will definitely get a rash.
The two elderly people also needed to change their shoes, so Sheng Wanze went to buy a few pairs for them.
I have everything else in the house. I bought new clothes last year, and they are still as new as when I first bought them.
You don’t need to buy these. The most important things are children’s things, especially children of this age who grow fast.
The clothes that the Gu family sent to Yi Yi no longer fit her after just a few months.
Mother Gu didn't know Yi Yi's exact size, so she could only buy the bigger one and have it sent to her.
But Yiyi grows faster than other children of the same age, with long arms and legs, so his bra needs to be replaced every two months.
There weren’t many things in the supply and marketing cooperative, and Yi Yi was not interested in them. She was only interested in toys.
Sheng Wanyan bought her two items, no more, to prevent her from developing a habit.
