Chapter 15 Qin Wan is helpless
The photo studio was not very big, and there was only one old craftsman inside, who was fiddling with an old-fashioned long-frame camera.
Seeing Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao coming in hand in hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Just got married? Are you here to take wedding photos?"
Deng Minghao took two White Rabbit candies from his space and handed them to the old man in the photo studio: "Yes, I just got my marriage certificate and came over to take some photos."
The old master took the candy with a smile and said, "Congratulations, what kind of photos do you want to take? Do you want to take photos of you in green military uniforms? Nowadays, people take photos like this. I have clothes here, but you have to pay extra if you want to change."
Li Ruolan said, "Change. With the clothes we are wearing now, take one individual photo each and one group photo. When we change into green military uniforms, take one individual photo each and one group photo."
Because they were coming to get their marriage certificate today, both of them wore white shirts and black pants, and followed the old master's instructions and sat on the stool opposite the camera.
The two of them were pressed closely together with smiles on their faces. The old master was a little surprised. He had photographed many people before, but when facing the camera, no matter they were a couple or an individual, they would feel a little uncomfortable.
Both Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao seemed to be used to it and were in very good condition.
"Very good, very good. Just stay like this and don't move." The old master quickly pressed the shutter and recorded the first photo of Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao in this era.
After taking the photos wearing their own clothes, both of them changed into green military uniforms and wore them directly on the outside. They took two more photos together, one of them saluting, and one of them smiling at each other.
Three group photos and four individual photos, each photo costs one dollar, a total of seven dollars.
After collecting the money, the old master gave the two people a list and told them to come back with the list to pick up the photos in five or six days.
After coming out of the photo studio, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to use their sugar coupons and bought half a pound of fruit candy. They also bought ten pairs of gloves and two thermos bottles.
They had everything they needed, as the space was fully equipped, so they bought these things, and then when it was noon, they went to the state-owned restaurant to eat.
"After the house is built, let's buy a bicycle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to come to the town every time." Deng Minghao said.
"We'll talk about it later. I heard there are only two bicycles in the village. If we buy one, we will definitely be seen as the first to stand out.
Let's see how the male and female protagonists act first. They are both rich. If they buy it, we should buy it too. This way, we won't be noticeable if we blend in with them."
It is not just a saying that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
The book once wrote that there were actually quite a lot of female educated youth in Shengli Brigade at the beginning. Some of them came from very wealthy families and showed off their wealth in the village. Not long after, these female educated youth married people in the village for various reasons.
Some fell into the water and were rescued, some had their reputations ruined, in short, there were all kinds of reasons.
There were also many male educated youth who were entangled with the girls in the village and were eventually forced to marry them.
So they have to keep a low profile when it is time to do so. They don’t have any big ideals and now they just want to stay in the village peacefully for seven or eight years.
The two chatted all the way into the state-owned restaurant, and then saw the hero and heroine sitting opposite each other, apparently waiting for their food to be served.
Li Ruolan looked around but didn't see Guo Xiaoya.
Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao came in. Qin Wan and Xu Tao also saw them and nodded at them. Li Ruolan hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat next to Qin Wan.
Deng Minghao ordered a plate of braised pork ribs, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of stir-fried pork with celery, and two servings of rice.
Li Ruolan likes to eat rice very much. Deng Minghaoze is not picky and eats everything, so when they usually eat, they mostly cook according to Li Ruolan's taste.
"Are you guys coming to eat too?" Li Ruolan asked them with a smile.
Qin Wan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I ran into Comrade Xu just after I arrived at the door. I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I sat down."
Xu Tao also smiled and nodded to Li Ruolan, then sat quietly aside without saying anything.
In the original novel, Xu Tao is such a person who says less and does more, but he is still very reliable. After marrying Qin Wan, he becomes a very good husband, and the two of them are very sweet.
But now, Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya’s marriage has not been cancelled, and I don’t know if Xu Tao and Qin Wan can still be together?
After just two sentences, the dishes that Xu Tao and Qin Wan ordered were ready. They both ate dumplings. Xu Tao even brought back an extra bowl, which should be for Guo Xiaoya.
Sure enough, after the dishes Li Ruolan and the others ordered were ready, Guo Xiaoya came in carrying a large package.
Seeing Qin Wan sitting in front of Xu Tao, Guo Xiaoya's face suddenly turned ugly.
Qin Wan frowned immediately, then stood up, sat down on the other side of Li Ruolan, and gave up the seat opposite Xu Tao.
Qin Wan really couldn't understand. She and this Guo Xiaoya didn't even know each other, so why would she be so hostile to her? It was clearly her who sat down at the seat first, and it was Xu Tao who came over to share the table with her. Why did he now act like he was having an affair behind Guo Xiaoya's back?
It seems that she needs to stay away from Xu Tao in the future and must not be misunderstood by Guo Xiaoya.
Guo Xiaoya sat opposite Xu Tao with an unhappy look on her face, eating dumplings with her head down. Xu Tao seemed to sense something and looked at Guo Xiaoya a few times. After the meal, he took Guo Xiaoya away first.
After the two left, Qin Wan relaxed: "I don't know how I provoked this Guo Xiaoya. I clearly didn't even say a word to Xu Tao."
Li Ruolan said: "Maybe it's because you are beautiful that Guo Xiaoya feels a sense of crisis."
Qin Wan looked at Li Ruolan seriously and said, "You are also very beautiful, why doesn't she target you?"
Deng Minghao raised his hand, still holding food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Because my wife has me!"
Qin Wan looked at Deng Minghao with a surprised look on her face: "Wife? Have you two got the marriage certificate?"
Deng Minghao quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and took out the certificate of marriage: "We are married. Here is the marriage certificate."
Li Ruolan nodded: "I just received it today, and I haven't planned to tell you yet. I went to see the team leader last night to talk about this matter, and by the way, we discussed the matter of building a house."
"Indeed, you can move out after getting your marriage certificate. It's still most comfortable to have your own room to live in. By the way, where is your new house built? I want to see if I can be your neighbor." Qin Wan also wanted to move out. It would be much more convenient to live alone.
"We don't plan to build a house in the village, just next to the educated youth site. I'm afraid it's not safe to live in the village." Li Ruolan hinted at something, and Qin Wan understood what Li Ruolan meant.
