Chapter 77 Artistic Photos
After Lin Ping came back, he first kissed his niece for a long time, and then talked excitedly at the dinner table about the incident between Lin Li and his wife at the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. Finally, he came to the conclusion: Lin Li and his wife were not good people, and Lin Qiu should ignore them.
Lin Qiu and Liu Xiang had always had a bad temper. Now because of Zhou Qing's incident and what Lin Ping just said, he directly promised Lin Ping that he would not have much contact with these two people.
Lin Qiu didn't have to worry so much in the next few days. He just had to look after the newsstand. After all, Wang Shan had someone to play with.
Wang Xiuren was very busy.
Because his first construction site started.
He leaves home at six o'clock every day to go to the construction site. He buys something for breakfast on the way and buys some filling food nearby for lunch. He gets off work at six in the afternoon.
Secretary Huang’s classmate’s house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, with an area of less than 120 square meters. His classmate's requirements were not high, so the process was not very complicated and Wang Xiuren could do it alone.
Since it was his first time to take on a construction site, the owner was very easy to talk to. Not only did he buy all the necessary materials, he also paid half of the project payment to Wang Xiuren.
Therefore, Wang Xiuren is full of energy.
Lin Qiu has been very busy recently. Now is the peak season for returning home, and the newsstand is crowded with customers.
Business is good and she is full of energy. However, even the most energetic will get tired after a busy day. After eating and washing up, she will fall asleep as soon as she touches the pillow.
Often, she would fall asleep before Wang Xiuren even got into bed.
Seeing Lin Qiu's tired look, Wang Xiuren couldn't help but calculate in his mind when the construction site would be completed, how much money he would get, and how he planned to spend the money after getting it.
Some people cannot find hope in difficult situations, while others work hard for their dreams.
Wang Xiuren is the latter.
His heart is now full of longing for a better life in the future. He fantasizes about leading an enviable life with his wife and children one day, and then returning home in glory.
With such longing, he also fell into a soft dream.
After the first month of the lunar year, the chill in the air gradually dissipates, and spring appears casually in the wind and on the trees.
Lin Qiu saw off the last customer of the morning, biting into a somewhat cold bun, leaning against the counter and looking outside. Suddenly, he noticed that the door of the shop diagonally opposite was opened, and he thought to himself: This shop has finally been renovated.
There used to be a clothing store diagonally opposite the newsstand, and business was pretty good. But after the Chinese New Year this year, the store suddenly cleared out all the clothes and closed the store. After more than 20 days of renovation, it is finally opening now, but I don't know what kind of store it is.
This question was soon resolved.
Near noon, a small truck drove over from the opposite direction, and then several men in blue work clothes hung a huge billboard in the middle of the first and second floors opposite. A newlywed couple in wedding dresses and suits were holding hands and smiling sweetly on the billboard, and the words "Taipei Bride" were prominently displayed in the blank space next to it.
It turned out to be a wedding photography shop!
After the billboard was hung up, a few young people laughed and carried a few flower baskets and placed them on both sides of the store, and set off a long string of firecrackers.
Lin Qiu stretched her neck and looked diagonally across the street, and found that many shop owners were looking at the newly opened store with curiosity just like her.
Judging from the location of the advertisement, the owner of the bridal shop has rented both floors. It seems that he is quite wealthy, but I don’t know if he will have business in the future.
She finished her fast food in a few bites, cleaned up the garbage, washed her hands, and planned to read a romance novel to kill time. A girl with a high ponytail came over with a plate of candies.
"Sister, I'm a clerk at the wedding photography shop across the street. Our boss asked us to deliver some candies to the neighbors around us so that everyone can get to know each other!" The girl explained the situation to Lin Qiu with two deep dimples on both sides of her mouth.
Lin Qiu stood up, grabbed a handful of candy from the tray, and asked curiously, "Are you guys here to take wedding photos?"
The smiling girl patiently explained, "Sister, we not only take wedding photos for newlyweds, but also personal art photos, couple photos, family photos, etc. Our boss also specially invited a famous photographer from Pengcheng to take the photos, and also provided all kinds of clothes for the photos, all new!"
"Sister, do you want to try it? We also have a special makeup artist who will make sure you look beautiful! We are opening a new store, and we have a special package that is very cost-effective, only one hundred and twenty-eight!"
Wow, one hundred and twenty-eight yuan for taking a photo, and they call this price just a bargain. Lin Qiu was a little shocked. How much is everyone's salary now?
She was reluctant to spend the money!
So he perfunctorily sent the girl with the dimples away, but over the next few days he secretly observed whether the store had any business.
Perhaps because they were so close to each other, the girl with dimples from the photography shop secretly took out their shop's brochure and showed it to Lin Qiu.
Although Lin Qiu did not have any aesthetic talent, the photos in the album were indeed well taken, whether they were wedding photos or other photos.
Lin Qiu suddenly came across a handsome photo of a little boy, and suddenly his heart was moved. "How much would it cost for you to take this photo of a child?"
When the dimple girl saw Lin Qiu's expression, she immediately started to quote prices, and finally concluded: "I think the one hundred and twenty-eight package is more economical. You can change into three sets of clothes, choose twelve photos, and get a photo frame. Children can actually take a set every year. It's a record of their growth!"
Lin Qiu thought of his daughter's happy look every time she took photos. She placed the photo of the revolving restaurant next to the TV like a treasure, and she would always use a handkerchief to wipe the dust off it.
My daughter is so beautiful and cute, so of course we should take more photos of her as a souvenir. It’s not like we can’t afford to take photos ourselves.
Lin Qiu convinced himself step by step, gritted his teeth, and said, "Xiao Yang, order me a set. I want this one hundred and twenty-eight set."
Perhaps because he was afraid that he would regret it, he paid the money on the spot.
That night, Lin Qiu told Wang Xiuren about this matter.
Wang Xiuren did not object, and after a pause, he said, "Shall we go take a set as well?"
There wasn’t even a proper photo studio in my hometown, so when we got married we took a black and white photo for registration.
The only family photo we have now was taken on the day we went to the revolving restaurant.
Lin Qiu was a little hesitant. They had been married for so many years, and it was a bit embarrassing to take photos at this time.
"Many people in the city have taken photos, so our wedding was too simple." Wang Xiuren carefully looked at her face. After all, Lin Qiu was a little neglected when getting married.
Speaking of this, Lin Qiu actually didn't mind the lack of wedding ceremony. After all, everyone in his hometown followed similar etiquette.
"I'll go ask if I can add two photos to Shanshan's package. It's not worth it to take a single set."
Wang Xiuren felt that Lin Qiu had accepted him to some extent, so he quickly agreed, "Okay, go ask the store first. If it doesn't work, we can bid for another set separately. I still have a week to finish it, and I will receive the remaining payment by then."
The next morning, Lin Qiu saw the girl with the dimples cleaning the glass window and waved her hand: "Xiao Yang, come here, I want to ask you something!"
Xiao Yang came over with a dimple on his face, "Sister, what's the matter?"
"Let me ask you, can the package for taking photos for children include a couple photo and a family photo?" Lin Qiu looked at Xiao Yang eagerly.
Xiao Yang didn't reply immediately. She was just a staff member and didn't have the power to make decisions. After thinking for a while, she said, "I'll go ask the boss for you!"
After saying that, he quickly ran to the shop diagonally opposite.
Not long after, Xiao Yang led her over while talking to someone next to him.
"Sister, this is our boss, his last name is Zhuang!" Xiao Yang introduced the fashionable girl next to her to Lin Qiu, and then helped introduce Lin Qiu to the boss.
"Boss, this is the sister Lin I was talking about. She ordered a set of children's art photos yesterday!"
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Hold your hands together.
"Sister Lin, right? I just heard your request. Originally, it was not possible. The price of the set meal you ordered is already very affordable. I did it to attract customers, but you are the first one to place an order on this street, so after thinking about it, I decided to add two photos for you, as a good start! But if the photos are satisfactory, please help me promote it!" Boss Zhuang told Lin Qiu his decision in a friendly manner.
"Thank you very much, Boss Zhuang. Your photography skills are so great. I will definitely promote it more!" Lin Qiu thanked Boss Zhuang.
"Then just tell Xiao Yang when you have decided on a date for the photo shoot! I have something else to do so I'll leave first!"
"Okay! Walk slowly!"
Boss Zhuang looks aloof, but he is actually quite easy to talk to!
Lin Qiu gave Boss Zhuang a thumbs up in his heart.
By the time Lin Qiu found time to bring Wang Xiuren and Wang Shan to the photo studio, May Day had already passed.
Xiao Yang led several people up to tie their hair, change clothes, and put on makeup.
The family of three had never seen such a scene before and their eyes widened.
"Why do I have to put on makeup too?" Wang Xiuren stood up resistingly.
"Sir, don't resist. Just apply a little bit of primer. Otherwise, you will look very dark in the photos later, and it won't look good!"
The makeup artist pressed Wang Xiuren down, took out something like a palette, and applied makeup on Wang Xiuren's face.
Wang Xiuren had no choice but to sit down and accept his fate, closing his eyes tightly and not daring to look in the mirror.
Lin Qiu has a good foundation and Wang Shan is young, so they just need to put a layer of powder on their face, draw eyebrows, apply blush, and finally put on lipstick.
The mother and daughter watched Wang Xiuren put on makeup with great interest, and couldn't help laughing when they saw him hunching his shoulders and trying hard to dodge.
Wang Xiuren could only open his eyes with a fearless look and glared at the mother and daughter without any strength, which made them laugh out loud.
The protagonist of the photo shoot is Wang Shan, and she has to change three sets of clothes.
The first set was a white princess dress with a silver plastic crown on her head.
Wang Xiuren was at a loss for words to describe it: "Like a princess!"
The cameraman originally wanted to teach Wang Shan how to pose, but Wang Shan was already ready, imitating the princess in the cartoon.
"This little princess is really good at posing. She's so clever and has a great sense of the camera!"
The photographer squatted down to find the angle, kept praising, and kept pressing the shutter button, "Good! The first set is done, now for the next one!"
Lin Qiu followed the staff to help her daughter change into a pink gauze dress, and the crown was replaced with a plastic wreath.
Wang Shan was led to sit on a green carpet with a curtain painted with a forest behind her.
The third set was changed into parent-child outfits, with the family of three wearing red modified Tang suits.
The photographer first asked Wang Shan to hold up a fake candied haws and take a few photos, and then asked her to walk a few steps holding a lantern.
After the photo shoot, Wang Shan rubbed her face and sighed softly: "Taking photos is so tiring!"
"You little guy, how can you know what tiredness is?"
Wang Xiuren held his daughter on his knees and sat with Lin Qiu sitting close beside him.
"One, two, three, look here!" the photographer shouted.
The three of them smiled, and the family portrait was taken.
The photo that took the longest to shoot was the one of Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren.
The photographer asked them to look at each other, and Lin Qiu smiled; the photographer asked them to put their hands on his shoulders, and Lin Qiu smiled; the photographer asked them to walk hand in hand, and Lin Qiu laughed out loud.
There is no sign of affection at all.
Wang Xiuren felt helpless at her smile. He stretched out his hand but didn’t know what to do. He could only hold her in his arms, “I won’t smile if you can’t see me!”
The photographer took the opportunity to press the shutter.
This one is really good!
In front of the antique curtain, the affectionate man hugs the shy woman, they are such a perfect match!
"Okay, time to call it a day!"
Before the photographer finished speaking, Wang Xiuren immediately changed his clothes and couldn't wait to wash his face.
Lin Qiu couldn't help but teasing his daughter as she changed her clothes, "Your movements are so neat. The painting you just finished looks pretty good. Hahahaha!"
How can she look good when she smiles like this? Wang Xiuren continued to rub his cheeks vigorously, "I'm not stupid!"
Lin Qiu didn't restrain himself at all and continued laughing, causing Wang Shan to laugh as well.
After everything was packed up, the family of three was escorted out of the store. The photographer even pulled Wang Xiuren aside and whispered something to him.
"What did the photographer say to you just now? It was so mysterious!" Lin Qiu was a little curious.
Wang Xiuren did not hide it, "He said our family atmosphere is very good and he wished us happiness forever!"
Lin Qiu looked into Wang Xiuren's unreserved eyes. Could he really be happy forever in this life?
