Chapter 22 Photography

A letter from Fu Zhengtu.

How does it feel when a cheap husband who has been "missing" for more than two years suddenly appears?

Even Su Taotao, who knew a little about the plot in advance, didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

Chenchen was particularly curious about the "letter", after all, he had never seen it before.

The little boy's little hand was holding the envelope and wanted to take it over to read: "Mom~~"

Su Taotao let go of her hand, thinking that the child had never seen his father since he was born, and maybe no one had even mentioned the word "dad" in front of him, which made her feel a little sad.

It's time to teach the child about the family member "dad".

Su Taotao asked him to take the letter and put him on the tractor first, and then she followed and sat cross-legged.

Chenchen took the envelope and flipped it over. He found nothing special in it, so he frowned and gave it back to Su Taotao.

"Chenchen, this is a letter, a letter from Dad."

Chenchen even wrinkled his nose: "Letter? Dad~Dad?"

The role of father is a missing role in the Fu family. Fu Yuanhang has never seen his biological father since he was born, so it is quite difficult to popularize him.

"Chenchen, do you remember Uncle Lao Gen from Brother Xiao Heitan's family?"

Chenchen nodded.

"The general family members are the father, mother and children, and then the grandpa, grandmother, uncles, aunts and so on. For example, Uncle Lao Gen is the father of Brother Xiao Heitan, and Brother Xiao Heitan calls him dad, which means the same as father. Brother Xiao Heitan calls Aunt Lao Gen mother, which means the same as mother. Then Xiao Heitan's grandmother is Uncle Lao Gen's mother, and Xiao Heitan's grandfather is Uncle Lao Gen's father."

Su Taotao paused, feeling that she What she said was a bit confusing, and the child might not understand it, and might not even understand what "family member" meant. Just as she was thinking about how to explain this word, Chenchen nodded vigorously: "Grandma~~ Uncle~~ Mom~~"

Then Chenchen's short hands patted the envelope: "Chenchen~~ Dad~~ Letter~~"

Su Taotao's eyes widened. She said it so confusingly that even she needed to sort it out, and the child actually understood it? He also learned from it that grandma was the mother of his uncle and the person who wrote the letter was his father?

Su Taotao hugged Chenchen's arm and looked up and down and left and right: "Chenchen, are you really a two-year-old child?" Could it be that he was dressed like her, an old soul in the appearance of a child?

Chenchen blinked, his clear and bright eyes were like a clear spring in the mountains. He thought to himself, this kid has grown up to be so pretty and so smart, how will your future classmates live?

Su Taotao hugged him and shook him, "Chenchen is right, grandma is your uncle's mother, but your uncle's father, Chenchen's grandfather, sacrificed his life to defend the country and became a hero.

But Chenchen's father is different, he just has to go to a mysterious place for work, and he has never had time to come back to see Chenchen," Su Taotao raised the letter in her hand, "Now he has written to me, I believe Chenchen will be able to see his father soon."

In fact, Fu Zhengtu didn't even know Chenchen's existence. He went on a mission not long after their marriage, and had been out of contact since then. It was only today that he received his letter for the first time, and he had no chance to tell him about Chenchen's existence.

Su Taotao didn't want to open the letter in front of her child. According to her habit, she would read the letter in front of her child after opening it. If she didn't mention Chenchen at all, how sad would he be?

Su Taotao put the letter away and pounded her legs: "Chenchen, can mommy take you to take a picture and send it to daddy? Daddy hasn't seen Chenchen yet. Let's show Daddy how handsome Chenchen is."

In fact, they should have taken a family photo with Zhou Linglan, Fu Yuanhang and others when they returned to the county. Now Zhou Linglan would definitely not agree to make a special trip, so she could only take a photo of her and Chenchen and send it to Fu Zhengtu so that he could be mentally prepared.

Chenchen had never taken a photo, and didn't know what a "handsome look" was, but his mother's words were probably a good thing, so he agreed immediately. There was

still more than an hour before the five o'clock return meeting time, and Su Taotao couldn't bear to be tired, so she took the time to take Chenchen to the photo studio.

In those days, photo studios were also state-owned units, and mastering photography skills was also a stable job. Color photos had not yet become popular, and black and white photos could be seen everywhere. The equipment in the photo studio was also very simple, with a gray background cloth, an old-fashioned camera, and a few chairs as the entire background. In

the 1970s, "small photos" were popular. They were less than an inch in size, cheap, and very popular, but Su Taotao didn't plan to take such photos.

The photo studio is also located on the Shuangjiangkou arcade street. The environment is similar to that of the First State-owned Hotel. Su Taotao plans to "shoot outside".

After asking about the price and precautions, Su Taotao asked again: "Master, can I shoot outside? I want to take pictures of the scenery outside as well."

The scenery of the two rivers is truly unique. Thinking that she may leave here soon, Su Taotao wants to leave a souvenir. These days are different from the future. You can take pictures with a mobile phone wherever you go. There are not many opportunities to leave precious memories. The scenery outside is better than the gray background inside.

It was the first time that the photographer heard someone say they wanted to take photos of the scenery outside. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but I can't guarantee the image quality. It might be overexposed."

Su Taotao smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just take a few more photos."

The photographer was silent for a moment, not knowing whether to remind her about the price of the photos. But seeing how well they were dressed, they probably didn't need the money, so he still made it clear: "A six-inch full-body photo is 50 cents, a half-body photo is 40 cents. "The five-inch one is one cent less, and the two-inch one is one cent. You have to state your requirements first."

Su Taotao nodded: "We'll take six-inch full-body photos. I'll take two photos holding the child, one photo of the child alone, and one photo of me alone. That's a total of four photos."

Few people are willing to spend money like this these days. The photographer looked at Su Taotao carefully and said, "There's a bathroom inside. Go wash your face."

Su Taotao almost forgot her "disguise technique". Everyone loves beauty, and Su Taotao is no exception.

A few minutes later, Su Taotao washed herself and the dust clean and walked out. The photographer was stunned when he saw the mother and son, who looked refreshed. He never expected that this lesbian was so beautiful. How to say it, it was like a pearl that had been covered with dust for a long time and suddenly washed away the dust, suddenly shining so brightly that people couldn't take their eyes away.

Especially those clear eyes, with the corners of the eyes slightly raised, as if just a slight bend of the lips could capture the soul. The photographer has been in the photography industry for so many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a bright lesbian.

When he adjusted the shooting angle, Su Taotao had already posed.

In the first photo, she is holding Chenchen in her right hand and letting Chenchen raise his right hand high and bend it above his head. She herself tilts her head towards him, with her left hand raised high and bent down, forming a not-so-standard heart shape with Chenchen's right hand.

"My dear, when the photographer says one, two, three, follow your mother and say "Eggplant", okay?"

Chenchen was taking photos for the first time and was very curious about everything. He kept staring at the dark machine in the photographer's hand. When he heard Su Taotao say this, he turned his attention back.

The photographer wanted to teach Su Taotao how to pose, but he didn't expect her to create such an incongruous pose. He didn't say anything more. He captured a good state and counted one, two, three.

Su Taotao shouted with Chenchen: "Eggplant/Ji!"

The camera captured the most beautiful smile of the mother and son, as well as the two rivers flowing endlessly and the hills that were created by nature.

The mother and son put their hands down, and Su Taotao made an OK gesture. The photographer understood and counted one, two, three. Chenchen didn't need Su Taotao to lead him and started to shout "cheese" by himself.

But when the photographer shouted "three", Su Taotao suddenly turned her head to kiss Chenchen's face.

With a "click", the picture froze.

Chenchen was used to it, and the photographer's expression was hard to describe.

This was really the most unexpected photo he had ever taken, and the photo with the most natural effect. This mother and son didn't look like the first time to take photos, as if they were born for the camera.

The next solo photo can prove this point even more.

Su Taotao stood there casually, without doing anything, and smiled at the camera, she had already surrendered to the country.

Chenchen is such a cool kid that he would automatically laugh "cheese" every time he heard the slogan "one, two, three", and even the wild chrysanthemums on the roadside would be as good as him.

With many years of photography experience, the photographer knew how amazing this set of photos would be when they were developed without even looking at the finished film.

"Can I print one more set of photos to display in the window?" he asked.

Su Taotao shook her head: "Sorry, it's better not to."

"I'll waive the money for two photos, or print one more set for you for free." The photographer wanted to fight for it.

It's not for attracting traffic. There is only this photo studio in the county, and everyone can only come here to take pictures. I just want to show off my excellent photography works.

Su Taotao still shook her head.

The photographer gritted his teeth and said, "Everything is free. From now on, you can take photos here for free."

Su Taotao had already paid, "I'm really sorry, no, we have to hurry, please."

The photographer felt sorry, but did not continue to force her.

While he was writing the receipt, Su Taotao borrowed the bathroom again.

When she came out again, she looked as gloomy as when she came in.

The photographer was shocked and pointed at her face: "Did you do that on purpose?"

Su Taotao chuckled: "To avoid causing trouble."

The photographer then understood why she was unwilling to show the photos: "I understand, you are a good comrade, this roll has just been taken, I will hurry to develop it, you can pick it up next market day."

Su Taotao thanked him, and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, she hurried to the gathering point with Chenchen in her arms.

It was another busy day, until she returned home, had dinner and lay on the bed, the whole family fell asleep, Su Taotao was still thinking that she seemed to have forgotten something, and lay down for a long time before sitting up: Yes, I haven't read the letter from my cheap husband yet!
