Liang Shengdi looked at a young man lying on the railing not far away with great interest, and nudged Lin Guoqing beside her and asked,
"Hey, what are those wires on that guy's head? And what about cotton in his ears?"
Lin Guoqing wondered who would wear an antenna on their head. He turned around and laughed.
"Mom, those are headphones. He's probably listening to a Walkman, the kind you put cassettes in and play music on."
I have to get that thing for his daughter one of these days. Ye Juncai said that college students all use it to learn foreign languages.
Lin Shuchao held his brother's arm with his right hand and was about to point at the group of people in front with his left hand when he was slapped down by his mother.
"Just keep your words to yourself and don't point fingers at others."
Lin Shuchao said "Oh", and then whispered to the young man in the front row standing at the railing for photos in a voice that everyone in the family could hear.
"Mom... look at them... they're dressed so cool!"
A tight floral top, flared jeans, pointed leather shoes, either long fluffy hair or an afro, and a cigarette in hand.
Later he became a very energetic young man, a symbol of fashion and wealth these days.
Unfortunately, older people still find it difficult to appreciate it, such as Liang Shengdi.
Mrs. Liang squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time before asking,
"Male or female?"
"Of course it's a man!" Lin Shuchao explained passionately.
"Hong Kong stars all dress like this! So handsome!" When he grows up a little bit, he will dress like this too!
Liang Shengdi glanced at him sideways and said, "Other people can make money by dressing up, can you?"
Lin Shuchao was choked and speechless, which caused Lin Shumei next to him to start laughing.
Lin Shuying and Lin Shugan's focus of observation was slightly different. They both took a fancy to the camera.
If they had a camera at home, they could take a photo here!
Group photo!
The one-inch photo Lin Shuying took before the college entrance examination was her first photo in her life! Others didn't have one.
Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua also gathered together and whispered about whether they could buy a camera.
Maybe it's because they bought too many big items in the past two years and they're numb. When talking about buying a camera, neither of them actually thinks that this thing is actually very expensive.
Qiuhu brand camera, only 168 yuan each.
Is 168 expensive? Is it expensive?
Not to mention compared with cars, even compared with televisions and refrigerators, they are much cheaper!
But now I'm already at the Bund, and I don't have a camera. I can't just leave like this, that would be a big loss.
Lin Guoqing went out for a run and came back, waving at them, "Come on! Follow me over there! There are people taking pictures there!"
There was a charge, 5 yuan per ticket, and it was hard for Chen Chunhua not to suspect that the man was robbing her.
"This is color film! One roll of film costs 4 yuan. You are making a profit by charging you 5 yuan per piece!" A young man with a photo charging sign next to him waved his SLR camera to show them.
"See? This is the latest model of my SLR! It's not one of those cheap cameras! The photos I develop are all in color, color photos! So, are you guys going to take pictures or not?"
Take pictures, why not take pictures, now that you are here.
They took two photos, one with their backs to the river, and one with their backs to the International Building Complex. They stood in a unified formation, with Lin Guoqing, Chen Chunhua and two boys standing in a row, Liang Shengdi standing in the middle in front, with two girls on her left and right.
"Hey, boys, come closer to your parents, girls too. Grandma, smile, smile at each other. Hey, both of you, smile, don't have such a stern face, right, right! And don't close your eyes! 1! 2! 3!"
Each of the seven people looked stiffer than the other. When the photos were finally developed, Liang Shengdi looked the most natural. When she smiled, her upper and lower teeth were fully exposed, and her eyes were narrowed into slits. It was hard to tell whether they were open or closed, but her smile was exactly the same as her usual one.
At first glance, Chen Chunhua's facial expression is tense and her smile is stiff, which looks very fake.
Lin Guoqing is even worse. He brags all day long about how he has traveled all over the world and seen everything, but when he takes pictures, the corners of his mouth are crooked.
"Third brother, your eyes are closed!" Lin Shumei pointed at the photo with his back to the International Building Complex. "Just now, that master counted 123, why are your eyes still closed?"
Lin Shugan groaned at the photo for a long time before saying, "The wind blew over the river, and my eyes itched... I couldn't close my eyes just to look at this picture!"
He pointed to the photo of her with her back facing the river and said, "But in this photo, grandma has turned her head!"
It seemed like a vendor was walking by with a cart, and Liang Shengdi turned to Chen Chunhua and asked for some, and the camera clicked. Nowadays, there's no such thing as deleting and starting over when taking photos.
It's not the photographer's fault. You have to pay again if you want to do it again.
Lin Guoqing calculated that the man just mentioned that a roll of film cost 4 yuan. One roll of film could take about 10 photos, and he charged 5 yuan per photo, which added up to 50 yuan. Staying in a place like the Bund, he could finish taking photos with not only one roll of film, but also two rolls in a day.
"Damn, I'm really making money! A hundred a day! I'm going to buy a camera tomorrow! Darling, Daddy's not going back. I'm staying with you in Shanghai. You go to school, and I'll be taking photos on the Bund. I'll make thirty or forty thousand a year! I'll surpass your mom in half a year!"
As a result, Chen Chunhua slapped him on the back of the head, "You are so beautiful! How can there be such an easy-to-profit business? Developing photos is free! Buying equipment is free!"
But the next day they actually bought a camera, a Qiuhu camera, for 168 yuan. Lin Guoqing had originally wanted to buy the latest Seagull SLR camera that the guy on the Bund had been holding yesterday, but it turned out to be 568 yuan! And you had to get a ticket!
Although it seems that other people's business can earn back the profit of a camera in half a month, I still feel that five yuan per photo is not that expensive.
Lin Guoqing also bought color film, which actually didn’t cost 4 yuan, but only 3.9 yuan. The person quoted a high price.
Chen Chunhua curled her lips. "It's only ten cents, it's not a false report. But, can you take pictures? A roll of film costs four yuan, don't waste it all."
Although they brought enough money this time, they didn't waste it.
"It's three dollars and ninety cents a roll! I just asked the salesperson how to do it. There's an instruction manual inside, so I just need to learn it!"
"Let's go! Let's go to Yu Garden today. Now that we have a camera, we don't have to worry about the price. Let's take lots of pictures!"
Yu Garden's charm was different from the Bund's. Lin Shumei dragged her sister along, demanding to take photos. Eventually, Lin Guoqing had to go out and buy more film. Lin Shuchao was curious about everything, and to prevent him from getting lost, Lin Shugan followed closely behind.
Liang Shengdi was like a mouse that fell into a rice jar. After eating Xiaolongbao, she ate Shengjian, and after eating Shengjian, she ate wontons.
Chen Chunhua was shouting at the second brother, "Hurry up and bring your brother back." At the same time, she was urging Lin Guoqing to take pictures faster. Then she turned around and coaxed Liang Shengdi, "Mom, wait a minute. Digest your food first before eating. You'll feel full again in a while!"
So tired!
What a wonderful family trip! That's all bullshit!
