Seeing everyone laughing happily, Gu Bin had a sudden inspiration and instantly pressed the shutter. A heartwarming photo was born, with everyone's smiles looking so genuine and warm.
Afterwards, Xie Yan helped the others take photos of each other and individually.
Especially Chaochao and Maodan, those two clowns, they're such a handful, always trying to get in the picture no matter who's taking it.
In the end, Xie Yan had no choice but to promise to take a special photo of the two of them, which finally convinced them to stop harassing others.
Qian Hong looked at Xie Yan, who was busy taking photos, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She pulled Yu Yuehui and quietly went into the house, whispering, "Go and tell Xie Yan to stop filming, lest we run out of film."
Just as Yu Yuehui was about to say that they had bought a lot of film and it wouldn't be a problem, Qian Hong quickly interrupted her, gesturing towards the wall by the door, and lowered her voice, saying, "Look at those people on the wall by the door, they're just waiting for you to say you still have film! When the time comes, everyone in the village will want to be photographed, where are you going to get that much money to waste?" Yu Yuehui was stunned upon hearing this.
Qian Hong continued, "Those two old men over there, and your second uncle's family, are still putting on airs, waiting for you to go and invite them!"
As Yu Yue listened, she suddenly felt irritated.
She didn't like her grandparents very much to begin with, and her second uncle's family made her even more disgusted.
Take this photo shoot for example. There's nothing wrong with taking photos of my second uncle's family, but their arrogant attitude of expecting us to come and invite them was really uncomfortable.
They were clearly the ones who benefited, yet they acted all high and mighty.
In the end, Xie Yan decided to go and take photos of her second uncle's family. Coincidentally, Yu Yuexue's family, who were already married, were also there.
Yu Yuexue married the son of the brigade leader of the neighboring brigade. He was tall and strong, and looked like a good worker.
Last year, she gave birth to a son, whom she adores and takes with her every time she visits her parents' home.
When Xie Yan went to take photos, they took a family portrait of their family and also took individual photos of their family separately.
Yu Yuexue seemed unsatisfied and directed Xie Yan to take photos of each of them holding their children.
After Xie Yan finished taking the picture, seeing Yu Yuexue opening her mouth as if she wanted to take another picture, he turned to Yu Yuehe next to him and said, "Second brother, come stand at the door, I'll take a picture of you and your sister-in-law. There's only one roll of film left."
Xie Yan's words were true; there was indeed only one roll of film left in the camera, and after taking the picture, he really didn't want to change to a new roll of film and continue shooting.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuexue felt anxious. She wanted to take one last photo of her son alone, as he had never had a photo taken of him alone before.
But before he could finish speaking, his second aunt reached out and grabbed him.
My second aunt lowered her head and said in an unfriendly tone, "Stop it."
Yu Yuexue felt wronged and angry after being scolded by her mother. She felt that her mother was biased. It was just taking a picture. They lived so far away. Wasn't it only natural to take a few more pictures?
With their second brother right in front of them, if Xie Yan were to buy more film someday, wouldn't they be able to take pictures again?
Why did I have to fight her for the last one!
Yu Yuehe's wife keenly noticed the eye roll her sister-in-law was giving her, and her happy mood for taking pictures instantly turned sour.
A nameless anger suddenly flared up, and without caring that there were people around, she reached out and pinched Yu Yuehe's soft flesh hard at the waist.
This caused Yu Yuehe to gasp in pain, his expression instantly turning out of control, his features contorted in agony.
Xie Yan, already known for his sharp tongue, saw this scene and, finding it amusing, immediately pressed the shutter. With a "click," a photo brimming with a story was born. The photo showed Yu Yuehe's pained expression and his wife's angry yet slightly smug look, as if telling a funny family story.
Yu Yuehe's wife was only married into the family last year, so she's still considered a new bride. Aunt Yu also witnessed what was happening.
He knew that his daughter had caused the trouble first. Although he was a little unhappy, he suppressed his anger and pretended that he hadn't seen anything.
But she secretly harbored resentment towards Xie Yan.
Hmph, if you can afford such an expensive camera, how much does a roll of film cost? You must have bought a lot. What's wrong with bringing an extra roll of film to take pictures for them?
Such a stingy person, yet they claim to be from the capital!
If Xie Yan knew what his second aunt was thinking, he would definitely turn around and leave, and from now on he would just tear up the papers he had too many to take pictures of, and he would never take pictures of their family again.
Of course, even if we don't know what Aunt Yu is thinking right now, after this incident, Xie Yan has made up his mind never to take pictures of his second uncle and the others again.
The Yu family has become quite famous in the village because of the photos they took.
Everyone in the village, young and old, was envious, especially those who had previously been pessimistic about Xie Yan, but now they were praising him.
In particular, Xie Yan persuaded Qian Hong to prepare to take photos at Tiananmen Square next year.
Qian Hong was so excited!
She's already starting preparations even though next year is still a long way off.
Of course, with such good news, I'd definitely want to share it with everyone.
Sure enough, when the villagers heard the news, it instantly went viral in Xiliu Village, and immediately topped the village's "hot search list".
Moreover, it's the kind of site that dominates the charts and stays there for a long time.
I don't know who spread the rumor, but it's said that the brigade leader's family has a photo of Xie Yan and his family at Tiananmen Square.
As a result, many elderly people flocked to Yu Shan's home just to see the photos Xie Yan's family took at Tiananmen Square.
When Xie Yan developed the photos, he made a few extra copies, so Yu Shan's family does indeed have quite a few photos of them at Tiananmen Square and even other scenic spots.
Looking at the bright five-star red flag in the photo, fluttering in the wind against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the elderly people were all moved to tears.
They have spent most of their lives trapped in this small village. Tiananmen Square is a place that is both unattainable and incredibly sacred to them.
Seeing that solemn scene in the photo now, it feels as if I am there myself.
Xie Yan felt a pang of sadness upon seeing the elderly people's reaction. He knew how much these seniors longed for Tiananmen Square, and after a moment's thought, he discussed it with Yu Shan.
Finally, he decided to find a way to get a large background photo of Tiananmen Square and take photos for the elderly in the village for free. After taking the photos, he would give the negatives to them and let their families help develop them, which would fulfill one of the elderly's dreams.
