Chapter 278 A Family Photo Thirty Years Late



"Hmm." Jiang Si was also very satisfied with this set.

Since she could wear it, she stopped worrying about it.

After ordering his own clothes, Huo Tingzhou's clothes were quickly finalized as well.

On formal occasions, she still prefers him to wear a Zhongshan suit or similar clothing.

Of course, with his physique and frame, he looks good in anything.

The two little ones changed into red cotton-padded jackets that their father had bought for them; the style of the jackets was somewhat similar to Tang suits.

The matching tiger-head hats made the two little ones look incredibly cute.

When the family of four came downstairs, the once noisy living room instantly fell silent.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to it, their eyes filled with amazement.

Just now, everyone was chattering about what clothes to wear when taking the family photo later.

That's great, there's no need to discuss it anymore.

The old man made the final decision, "Alright, I think we shouldn't worry about it anymore. Let's just dress like the third son's family."

Grandma Huo smiled and nodded, "I think it's a good idea."

After a lively lunch of hot pot in the old Beijing style, everyone went back to their rooms to rummage through their belongings.

When the photographer from the state-run photography studio arrived, the room was filled with men, women, and children, all dressed smartly and beaming with joy.

Next up is time for photos.

The driver came up and arranged a seat for everyone.

The old man and his wife sat in the middle.

She held Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao in her arms.

Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, and Uncle Huo and his wife lived on opposite sides.

The younger generation sat cross-legged in front.

The remaining rooms were arranged in the last two rows.

With a click, this reunion and happiness, more than thirty years overdue, was finally captured in time.

The Huo family home was bustling with activity all afternoon.

After taking several family photos in different styles, it was time for individual photos of each room.

Aside from the Huo family, the happiest person at the entire event was undoubtedly the photographer.

The photo studio was then managed by a state-owned catering service company, although its performance had nothing to do with its employees.

However, in addition to rent, the photo studio also has to pay a certain percentage of taxes every month.

In addition, there's the monthly wear and tear on the film.

This also means that they must guarantee a certain level of revenue in order to maintain operations.

In any case, since their "People's Photo Studio" opened, they have never seen such a generous customer.

Taking color photos is expensive to begin with, and the old man wanted to enlarge them and have them reprinted.

Photography prices in 1964

Photography prices in 1975

The photographer was somewhat frightened when he saw the final calculated number.

Fortunately, before he could even speak, Mr. Huo paid the bill on his own initiative.

There's nothing we can do about it; he got a promotion and a raise this year.

Even without a promotion or a raise, Mr. Huo was still happy to spend the money.

At his age, nothing makes him happier than being reunited with his family.

Jiang Si also felt very happy, and of course, she would be even happier if someone didn't put in so much effort at night.

Fortunately, the important matter wasn't neglected.

The next morning, Huo Tingzhou promptly dropped her off at the west gate of the National Daily News building.
