A small side story: One person chooses photos
"Tongzi, Comrade Ji asked me to send him a photo in his letter. What kind of photo do you think I should send him so that he can never forget it, the kind that is impressive and powerful? How about I go to the photo studio in town tomorrow to take a few more photos? What do you think?"
Ning Xiyue was still folding the letter she had just received in her hand, and she looked at the little turtle lying on the table beside her and asked.
The little turtle lost his excitement for a moment and stood up straight:
"Why go to a photo studio? Are the photos taken there as good as Ben Tongzi's? Where do you put Ben Tongzi? Aren't those check-in photos from before photos? Ben Tongzi often records your highlights. I've recorded your growth. Don't take too many photos. You can have as many as you want."
Then he started to take out the inventory:
"Wait for me to find it for you. It's just photos you'll never forget. There are plenty of them."
Tongzi stopped talking and a bunch of photos appeared on the table. There were photos of three, four, five, six, and seven inches, any size you wanted, full-body photos, half-body photos, head shots, and photos of all kinds of poses.
This didn't stop. Tongzi continued to dump the photos. One batch of photos after another appeared. There were so many that Ning Xiyue was almost drowned in the sea of photos. She had never seen so many photos before.
Ning Xiyue pushed aside the photos piled on her body and grabbed Tongzi's two shaking paws in panic: "Enough, enough, I won't go to the photo studio anymore."
Tongzi stopped with satisfaction and stopped pouring out the photos.
He stood in the middle of the pile of photos, spread out his two front paws, and winked at Ning Xiyue with his two green bean-sized eyes: "Choose, all the styles are up to you. If you are not satisfied, I will help you to change a batch of new photos. We don't have anything else, but we have enough photos."
Ning Xiyue looked around at the photos on the desk, on the floor, and on her thighs, feeling quite hopeless. She sighed and didn't want to move: "It's just one photo, and you made so many. I'll never see it again."
She waved to the robot butler standing by the door, "001, help me put these photos away and make an album in chronological order."
"No need for 001, I'll come over here and make a photo book for you. I can also annotate the photos and tell you where they are from and what they happened. It only takes five seconds. Wait."
Tongzi waved his claws and took back all the photos outside. Five seconds later, with a bang, a huge thick book appeared in front of Ning Xiyue.
Ning Xiyue widened her eyes and stretched out her palm to compare it with the height of the book. It was as high as her entire palm. The cover of the book had five big words written on it: "Memoirs of Going to the Countryside". The cover picture was very consistent with the characteristics of the big-character posters of that era, a passionate red.
"Host, open it quickly and see if you are satisfied." The little turtle urged.
How should I put it, this thickness is quite thoughtful.
Ning Xiyue opened the first page of the book with trepidation. The little turtle leaned over to read with her and explained excitedly.
"How about this photo? It's from the day you first met. It's quite a memorable photo."
Ning Xiyue looked at the photo of herself lying in a pool of blood with a look of fear and panic in her eyes. It was obvious that both she and the original owner had died. The moment she came through, she grabbed the trouser leg of Ji Yanming, her life-saving straw.
"It's quite memorable, and it's only suitable for us to watch."
"Then this one..."
"no."
“This one.”
"No, we didn't have cameras back then. To take these photos with scenes, we had to go to Shanghai and come back. That was when we had a legitimate reason to own a camera."
As she flipped through the pages, Tongzi would tell her the story behind each photo.
Ning Xiyue found it interesting to listen to and was happy to look at the photos. It was also interesting to look back at what happened during her time in the countryside in this way.
The name of this book, Memoirs, is really right. Later on, she was not selecting photos, but recalling the past.
After finishing a book, Ning Xiyue went from feeling hopeless and unwilling to move to feeling full of energy and still wanting more.
Tongzi's mood was even more excited.
"Since the book you chose is not available here, let's do a custom photo shoot. Come on, I'll take the photo with you."
The little turtle's claws excitedly pulled Ning Xiyue's hand, and the scene changed the next second.
Ning Xiyue and the little turtle were in a photo studio.
The little turtle pointed at the three-story studio and said, "We have sweet and spicy style, hot girl style, sweet and cool style, high-cold style, queen style, and so on. Let's go through each theme one by one and try them all."
"Tongzi, this doesn't conform to the times and can't be used. However, we can take some photos. There are so many styles, keep them for your own enjoyment."
Ning Xiyue rushed into the photo studio like a happy little bird. She had never shot a fashion blockbuster before, so today she enjoyed Tongzi's blessing and took as many photos as she wanted.
"Host, rest assured, we will take some photos that are in line with this era and will not be out of line at all."
Walking into the first shooting room, Ning Xiyue touched the sea background wall with her hand and picked up the prop big turtle.
"Wow, the background is so realistic. Great! And the props, Tongzi. Give me a set of color photos when the time comes. We can keep them for ourselves. One or two black and white photos will be enough. We don't need too many."
"Ouke, I'll take the photo with you."
"So it was you who wanted to take a photo. I said since you were so excited and eager to help me, okay, let's take a photo together. Let's get started."
Ning Xiyue put the prop turtle on, picked up the turtle, and changed into the group's bra dress. The little turtle also dressed himself in the same little dress. The robot butler 001 was the exclusive photographer and was ready to start today's photo session.
