There is a photo studio next to the Civil Affairs Bureau, with several potted green plants placed in front of it.
Lu Shengye and Jiang Xuan entered the photo studio.
The owner of the photo studio was a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses, who was busy arranging camera equipment behind the counter.
Seeing the two young people walk in, he immediately guessed they were taking wedding photos.
Although taking photos is a luxury, most newlyweds are still willing to spend the money.
He greeted them warmly: "Welcome! Are you here to take wedding photos?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, we just got our marriage certificate and wanted to take a picture together to commemorate the occasion."
The boss smiled and nodded: "Congratulations! Please come with me, there is a special shooting area here."
Lu Shengye and Jiang Xuan followed the boss to the filming area, which was decorated in a warm and simple style.
The background is a hand-painted landscape painting with blue sky, white clouds, green trees, and red flowers. Next to the shooting area are several chairs and a small table with some props and decorations on them.
The boss skillfully adjusted the camera, then directed Lu Shengye and Jiang Xuan to stand in front of the background.
"Please move a little closer and smile again," the shop owner gently instructed them on their poses while adjusting the camera.
Jiang Xuan took Lu Shengye's arm and then leaned on his shoulder with a smile.
Lu Shengye's heart stirred, and he looked down at her.
The boss pressed the shutter button, and with a click, captured this beautiful moment.
Lu Shengye: "I'm not ready yet."
The shop owner chuckled and said, "I think the previous one was fine. It's okay, if you don't like it, we can reshoot it."
Jiang Xuan quickly said, "No need, we want the one from before too."
Lu Shengye said, "I wasn't even looking at the camera just now."
"Oh, that was a candid shot; that's how you make a natural-looking photo."
The boss smiled and nodded, "Yes, this way your expressions and movements will be more natural, and won't look like a staged photo."
The boss likes taking photos, so he naturally likes good-looking people. He changed the backgrounds for them a few more times and took five photos in total.
None of them were just average.
Although she hasn't seen the photos yet, Jiang Xuan is quite satisfied.
She was genuinely happy when the photos were taken.
"The photos will be ready in five days," the shopkeeper said. "If you're in a hurry, add 50 cents and you can pick them up in three days."
There's no rush, Jiang Xuan decided to come back in five days to pick it up.
"Shall we go back now?"
Lu Shengye pushed his bicycle up under the big tree. "Did you bring any money?"
"I brought 20 yuan. Most of the medicines at the hospital were free, so it only cost 12 cents."
As she spoke, Jiang Xuan took out the remaining money. "Here's all I have left. What do you want to buy?"
Lu Shengye said awkwardly, "We got our marriage certificate today, and I wanted to buy you a necklace. But let's forget it, let's go back and get the money first."
Jiang Xuan shook his arm, "I didn't expect you to be so romantic. But we don't need the necklace. I'm not working right now, so we need to be careful with our money."
"Isn't there still me?"
"But you can't be too extravagant. You already spent a lot of money on furniture yesterday. However, you can express your feelings in other ways."
"In what way?"
Jiang Xuan leaned closer and pointed to her cheek, "Give me a kiss."
The girl's face was as white as porcelain and carried a faint fragrance.
Lu Shengye blushed and fled in panic, pushing his bicycle. He almost walked with his legs crossed in his haste.
Jiang Xuan chuckled and chased after her, "Hey, don't be shy. We're already legally married. What's wrong with a kiss?"
Lu Shengye walked even faster.
This person is hopeless!
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Wait for me, my foot hurts so much."
Lu Shengye stopped the car immediately. "What happened to your foot?"
Jiang Xuan continued to feign injury, "I probably twisted my ankle just now, ouch, it hurts."
Lu Shengye stopped the car and helped her to sit on the steps outside the store. "Sit down, let me take a look."
Jiang Xuan obediently stretched out her foot.
Lu Shengye helped her take off her shoes and socks and carefully checked them.
"Does it hurt here?" He gently pressed on Jiang Xuan's ankle.
Receiving no response, he looked up, and Jiang Xuan smiled mischievously, leaning over to kiss him on the forehead.
Lu Shengye was stunned.
"Let's go." Jiang Xuan said, wearing socks and shoes. "My feet don't hurt anymore."
Watching Jiang Xuan's retreating figure, Lu Shengye secretly touched his forehead, and couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, right, how could I forget to mention something so important?" Jiang Xuan walked back again, "Grandpa gave us 2,000 yuan."
Lu Shengye wasn't surprised. "Okay, then you can keep it safe."
“I put it with our money. By the way, Shengye, I want to find a job, otherwise I’ll get moldy if I just stay here like this.”
What kind of work do you want to do?
"I'm better at learning and sewing, and I can also make some snacks. What do you think I should make?"
"Isn't making clothes too hard work?"
"Yes, and these kinds of customized clothes probably don't have much of a market for the time being, so they won't fetch a good price."
"Why don't you try some snacks? I'll go check out some shops for you tomorrow."
"We haven't made any money yet, how can we invest so much? What if we lose money? Don't worry, I'll start by setting up a stall. If it really works out, then we'll consider opening a shop. By the way, you can set up stalls anywhere in the courtyard and residential compound area, right?"
Lu Shengye nodded, "Yes, this is a period of economic development, and the government supports individual businesses, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"That's good. Once I make money, you and Dian Dian Fan Xing will live a life of luxury with me."
Lu Shengye laughed and said, "Okay, I'll definitely stick to your coattails. Get in the car, let's go back."
After Jiang Xuan jumped onto the bicycle, she hugged Lu Shengye's waist.
She wasn't so bold when she came in the morning; she could only gently tug at his clothes.
Now that they've already registered their marriage, no one can say anything when she hugs her man.
That waist is so toned.
Jiang Xuan's mind wandered, and she couldn't help but touch Lu Shengye's abdomen.
Lu Shengye almost lost his grip on the bicycle handlebars. He grabbed her hand and said, "Don't move."
Jiang Xuan was a little embarrassed, but she still shamelessly said, "I'm sorry, it was purely an accident."
That damn man!
It was already past eleven o'clock, and they figured that Dian Dian should have already gone home, so they didn't go to the hospital anymore and went straight back to the tenement.
Sure enough, Hu Tao was in the living room playing marbles with Dian Dian.
After receiving an IV drip and eating some porridge, Dian Dian's complexion improved slightly.
"Auntie."
Hu Tao's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Xuan dressed like this.
Young girls should wear bright colors.
"Oh, you're back? Did you get your marriage certificate?"
"I received it." Jiang Xuan took out the marriage certificate from her bag and showed it to her aunt.
Hu Tao touched the marriage certificate and said, "Xiao Ye, when you have some free time, go see your mother and tell her you got married."
