After dinner, the Su family walked towards the town excitedly. Su Congjun from the steel factory greeted his master, and his master readily let him go.
As the sun rose higher, the two groups finally met at the only photo studio in town.
"Brother!" Su Congwen had sharp eyes and saw Su Congjun looking around at the door of the photo studio from a distance.
When they approached, Su Congjun punched Su Congwen on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you are really something!"
He knew from a young age that his second brother was a man who accomplished great things quietly.
"Hehe." Su Congwen laughed foolishly.
"Oh my god, the photos are so clear?" Wu Guixiang was shocked when she saw the photos displayed in the glass window outside the photo studio. This was the first time she had seen a photo so clearly in her entire life.
Not only her, but in the entire Luoshui Village, taking photos is a rare thing.
"That face looks just like the real one, even clearer than in the movie." Zhang Xinlan was also amazed.
"That's right, look at this couple, they are so good-looking." Li Xiu Lian looked at the photo of the newlyweds and admired them repeatedly. The boy was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and he looked excited but a little restrained. The girl was wearing a floral top and had a sweet smile. Both of their faces were filled with happiness.
Su Qingyun took a look and found that the current photos were still in black and white. To her, they were really full of historical atmosphere.
"Okay, everyone, let's go in quickly." Su Aimin urged, fearing that he would waste time.
The Su family entered the photo studio. The master inside was busy. Hearing the noise, he came out of the darkroom where photos were developed.
"What are you doing..." The photographer was stunned when he saw so many people in the room, and he couldn't figure out what they were doing.
"Of course we come to the photo studio to take pictures." Su Aimin approached and started a conversation familiarly. "Master, how much is it for two family photos here?"
"Family portrait?" The photographer was even more stunned. Most of the people who came here were newlyweds, and only they were willing to spend money to take photos. This was the first time that such a large family came together to take a family portrait. It was really fresh.
"Can't I take a picture?"
"Yes, of course!" The photographer smiled. It was all just taking pictures, no difference. "Here, individual photos are one dollar, and couples are one dollar and a half. If you want a family photo, it'll be two dollars."
"Two dollars? Oh my goodness, it's just a photo, why is it so expensive?" Zhang Xinlan widened her eyes and exclaimed in amazement.
"When taking photos, although you only hear the sound of clicks, the film is expensive, and developing photos is time-consuming and laborious. It is all hard-earned money." The photographer explained with a smile. Few people who come here to take photos don't mind the high price, but there are always people who are willing to take photos.
"Two dollars is two dollars, let's take the photo." Su Dalin said. Since they were already here, they had to take the photo no matter what.
Wu Guixiang also nodded. Although she was very strict with her money, she was still willing to spend this little bit of money.
"Thank you, Grandpa, and thank you, Grandma." Su Congwen was very touched. He knew that this whole family had come together for him.
He is the second oldest of three brothers in the family, neither older nor younger. He is introverted and his family members have never paid much attention to him. But in the past few days, he has truly discovered that beneath the surface of his family members who are not good at expressing themselves, there is deep concern and love for him.
"Okay, let's go in first and take pictures inside." The photographer lifted the curtain of the inner room with a smile on his face.
When the Su family entered the inner room and took a closer look at the scenery, Wu Guixiang exclaimed, "Why is the wall so colorful? Oh, there are flowers here!" Wu Guixiang picked up a bouquet of flowers, touched it, and smacked her lips, "How can it be fake?"
"Of course it's fake, Auntie. It's for the person taking the photo to hold in his hand as a decoration." The photographer was adjusting his camera and said without raising his head.
Su Qingyun took a look at the big camera. Nowadays, most cameras are pneumatic vertical cameras.
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop looking and stand in a row against the wall." After adjusting the camera, the photographer greeted the group of people who were looking around curiously.
He looked at the Su family and thought for a while, "Let's just stand in two rows, the young people in the back, the aunt and uncle in the front, and then young man, go move two chairs for your grandparents to sit on."
After being called, Su Congwen immediately moved chairs in front for Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin to sit down. Everyone looked at each other and started to take their seats.
Su Aimin began to direct, "Big brother, big sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, you two stand next to our parents. Congjun, Congwen, and Yunyun, you stand in the back row on the left. Ah Ying, we two stand on the right."
"Okay, okay, that's almost it. Stand still and don't move." The photographer looked at the family who were standing in position.
Everyone looked at the big black camera opposite. It was their first time taking a photo, so they were inevitably a little nervous. They pursed their lips, looked around, and their faces were tense.
"Relax a little, smile, and think about your happy things." The photographer began to ask the stiff family to adjust their expressions.
Everyone's mouth corners twitched, trying to show an unnatural smile. The photographer crawled into the black cloth covering his head and began to look at the image on the camera.
"Okay, okay, smile a little wider, relax, get ready, three, two, one." The photographer finished the countdown, and with a click, the photo was taken.
"Everyone, don't move. Let's take another picture." Before the Su family could react, they took another picture.
The photographer lifted the black cloth and said with a smile, "Okay, we're done."
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief. It was so tiring to smile just for the photo.
Seeing the photographer adjusting the film, Su Aimin hurriedly asked, "Master, when can we get the photos?"
