Including the 20 check-in points obtained from upgrading skills, Yi Qingqing's check-in point inventory has reached a historical high of 46.

I'm going to the county town tomorrow, and I'll need to use some of these check-in points.

Some things also need to be prepared in advance. After all, the autumn harvest will begin next month. According to the aunt in the group, it will take at least two months to be busy, and then we can start hibernating.

During this period, the team will not take any holidays. In critical situations, they may even rush to harvest in the rain.

So this time we have to prepare two months' worth of supplies and things, which will cost a lot!

Yi Qingqing was thinking about what to buy.

First of all, there are living supplies, food and daily necessities.

When the grain is distributed in autumn, only the grain grown in the fields will be distributed. She can eat it mixed with other grains, but she can't stand eating it every meal.

Besides, the autumn harvest was very tiring, and even though she had some powerful pills, she couldn't go hungry.

So she had to stock up more food, but this time she didn't want to go to the grain station to sign in and get food.

She had basically used up all the tickets her family gave her. However, when she went to the countryside, she received a gift pack for educated youth when she signed in on the special train for educated youth. There were many different kinds of tickets in it, but she had never used them because of their long expiration dates. Among them were quite a few food coupons, which was more than enough for her.

This time I just used these.

I kept it before because the things I got by signing in can be stored directly in the system backpack, which is safe.

Now that I have a portable space, the things I get by signing in are no different from those I buy myself. I can put them all away, so there’s no need to save them.

It is much more cost-effective to exchange them for supplies and store them early than to save them for later use. After all, the purchasing power of the bill is clearly written on it, and it will not depreciate for the time being. But to buy things, not only do you need tickets, but sometimes you also have to spend money, and this money will become less valuable as time goes by.

Anyway, the things won’t go bad if you keep them in your portable space.

These receipts were basically enough to replenish her daily necessities, and she even had a lot left over, so she didn't have to spend any points on them.

If you count carefully, the places that need sign-in points are the remaining sign-in place at the funeral shop, the scrap yard and the bank.

Needless to say, you need to sign in at the bank to save money. You must sign in every time you go to the county town. There should also be a level 5 skill at the funeral shop.

It just so happens that her sewing skill has reached level 2, which is basically enough for her. She doesn't need to spend too much time practicing this, and Granny Hua herself is not even level 3.

Therefore, the only skills she mainly learned later were cooking skills, college entrance examination skills and incense making skills. Hunting could barely be counted as one, but it did not require frequent study. A new skill would just fill the gap.

Considering the practicality of the incense-making skill, she was looking forward to it even if the place of signing in was a funeral shop.

Originally, the sign-in location should also include the land temple, but it has not been reset successfully yet.

After calculating what she needed to buy tomorrow, she took out the money she needed and put it together before going to bed.

The next day was another day to go to the county town to attend the market early in the morning.

This time their team expanded to 7 people.

Wang Lingling also joined in, pushing her bicycle.

Several people pushed their bicycles to the outside of the educated youth site. At Li Mengxue's request, everyone lined up. At her command, everyone lined up and rushed down the slope, "Let's go!"

From the Golden Book:

"Seven bicycles appeared on the country dirt road, all of them handsome men and beautiful women with above-average looks, more impressive than some families' weddings.

Li Mengxue thought, if only she had a camera, she could take a picture of them! Looking back at them many years later, it would be so loving!

Isn't it popular to show old photos of your parents? Now they are all in their prime, it would be a shame not to leave a souvenir. Then your own children will have no old photos to show!

There was no camera in her supermarket space, and even if there was, she wouldn't dare take it out.

By the way, is there a photo studio in the county town?"

Yi Qingqing has developed the ability to multitask, and reading the golden book does not interfere with her walking or riding a bike.

Seeing Li Mengxue’s idea of ​​taking a photo, she was also a little tempted. Not only could it be a souvenir for herself, but she could also send one home when the time comes.

Li Mengxue had already asked: "Is there a photo studio in our county? Let's go take a group photo together!"

"No, I don't think I've seen it," Qian Lai said.

"Yes, there is a small alley about 180 meters away from the street with state-owned stores. There is a Tieling Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Photo Studio in it. Sometimes they send people to the bus station to take street photos." Yi Qingqing said.

In order to sign in, she had a thorough understanding of Tieling County, even better than Nanping County, because she was in a hurry to go to the countryside and she only had a cursory tour of Nanping County.

The state-owned photo studio was not located on the main street where there were many shops, but in an alley. It was quite small, with only one photographer in the shop, and it was usually open only after 2 p.m.

The rest of the time, I would take photos at the mobile photo booth at the bus station, which was quite popular. During the slack season every year, I would go to the communes and brigades below.

On the day they came to the countryside, it was already afternoon when they arrived at the bus station, so they didn't see the mobile photography stall. Usually, people go shopping in the morning on holidays, so if they didn't go there, they wouldn't have been able to find it.

Yi Qingqing went there purely to find the check-in place. Not only did she go to the bus station later, she also rode her bike through all the streets and alleys in Tieling County, so she knew it quite clearly.

"That's great. Let's go to the county town to take pictures tomorrow. It will be a commemoration when we look back on it. Let's go to the mobile stall at the bus station to take pictures." Li Mengxue said happily. This is a free outdoor photo shoot!

"Okay, I want to take a photo with you!" Zheng Xiaolong said. Which couple in love doesn't want to have a photo together?

Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan looked at each other knowingly and smiled in tacit understanding.

Wang Lingling also said with anticipation, "I want to take a photo with you guys, and then send it home to introduce our Four Golden Flowers group to my parents!"

Only Qian Lailai was able to notice the bright spot and asked curiously, "Why don't you take the photo today but tomorrow?"

Li Mengxue said as a matter of course: "Of course it's because you need to dress up for the photo shoot. Didn't you guys not wash your hair yesterday? And it's a last-minute decision, so you have to prepare your clothes and shoes well. You have to look pretty for the photo shoot!"

Qian Lailai freed one hand and touched his braid: "I haven't washed my hair yet, how can I tell in the photo? Isn't it all black?"

Yi Qingqing burst out laughing.

What you said is true. The pixels and black and white photos of this era are like built-in filters. You can’t tell if you haven’t washed your hair for a day.

Li Mengxue: "..."

She forgot that there seemed to be no color photos in that era. In black and white photos, it is difficult to tell whether the hair is greasy or not. As long as the bangs are not greasy and strands of hair are not visible.

Section 72

It doesn't seem to matter whether they change clothes or not. There are only three colors: black, white and grey. They are all wearing solid-colored clothes, so there is no difference in the photos.

But doesn't she have any face?

Li Mengxue said stubbornly: "Take a look, take a look, take a look today, if we want to be ugly, let's all be ugly together!"

"How can that be possible? I'm so beautiful! Haha!" Qian Lailai said conceitedly.

Although her appearance may lower the average level of the four golden flowers, she cannot lose in terms of momentum!

With a big golden book in her head, Yi Qingqing has to endure things that she shouldn't have to endure, and she has to hold back her laughter every day.

Where Li Mengxue is, she can not only watch everyone's performances live, but also have a big golden book to supplement her inner drama. Every time she has to endure their silly psychological activities, and she can't laugh out loud at will. She can only wait for everyone to laugh and take the opportunity to vent.

Apart from this, she said she enjoyed eating the melon very much.

We had agreed to take photos, so when we got back to the county town, everyone did not go about their own business, but went to the bus station.

When we arrived at the small square outside, we saw from afar a cart with a wooden folding photo frame standing next to the flower bed in the small square outside the bus station. There was also a small plastic sign with red letters on a white background, which read: Tieling County Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Photo Studio.

There is another address in the lower right corner: No. 3 Xinghua Lane.

There were quite a few people gathered around the stall, some were watching the fun, and some were queuing to take pictures.

The photographer was fiddling with a bulky stand-up camera. Opposite him was a young couple standing against a flower bed, both holding a child of two or three years old.

"Come closer!"

"Don't be so nervous, smile, that's it!"

"I'm going to take the picture, hold on and don't blink!"

"1, 2, 3..."

“Crack!”

The photographer looked up and said, "OK, another one?"

The woman in the young couple said shyly, "No, no."

The photographer asked again: "Okay, how many photos do you want to develop?"

"Two, how much?"

"Two photos are one dollar. Just come to the photo studio to pick them up in a week. The deposit is fifty cents." The photographer said quickly.

Yi Qingqing and a few others pushed their bicycles over to see what was going on.

The crowd automatically made some space for them.

It's not about giving them face, it's about giving face to the bicycles they are pushing.

A few of them gathered in front of the photo booth, looking at the photos on display, which were basically portraits.

Black and white landscape photos are basically uninteresting.

"Great photos! They all look nice," Li Mengxue examined the photographer's historical works and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the characters' movements and postures are a bit stereotyped, there are only three types in total: standing, sitting, and squatting.

The background is also relatively simple, with the flower bed in front of you as the most common background. The second most common ones are photos taken in front of doors, including various doors, family portraits in front of wooden doors, group photos of workers in front of factories, group photos in front of communes, etc. The rest are photos taken on the streets and in the fields.

Think about this day and age, there are very few opportunities to take photos, so it is normal to be moderate.

Li Mengxue praised it because the people in the photos all looked good. Even if they had facial flaws, they were not obvious in the photos. The main reasons were the black and white color scheme and the pixels. Another reason was that the photos were all quite small, basically five or six inches.

Such a small photo shows several people, and many of them are full-body photos. Many details are blurred, and fine lines, freckles, and bags under the eyes are not clear, just like the beauty filters in later generations.

Cameras of this era are naturally beautiful!

If she could connect to the modern Internet now, Li Mengxue would definitely educate those people who post beautiful black-and-white photos of their parents and say that there are no filters or beauty effects.

Yi Qingqing's focus is on the moments in which each person is frozen in these small photos, which look very touching.

Although the poses of many people in the photo are not as rich as those in later generations, and even seem a little cramped, I don’t know why, but I feel that the emotions and meanings contained in the photo are greater than those in later generations' photos, which can be taken with various styles and are much clearer.

Yi Qingqing felt that this feeling came from the number of people in the photo and the seriousness that came from everyone's awkwardness.

Taking photos has become more convenient in later generations, and the most common photos are actually selfies, which only show one person in the photo. Although there are also group photos with friends and family and parents, because they can be taken and modified many times, the serious feeling is much less.

There are hundreds of photos in the album, but I rarely take them out to look through them because there are more and more new photos appearing.

But at this time, the opportunity to take photos is very precious. Every time a photo is taken, in order to save money, everyone will call together the most important people and those with whom they have a good relationship.

Using the most conventional posture, the most serious and emotional photos are taken.

These photos will be treasured by their owners, or clamped between the pages of books, placed in photo frames, or mailed to relatives and friends. No matter which one, they will be frequently viewed.

The distance between people becomes closer as we look back on our memories again and again.

On the contrary, as there are too many photos in later generations and there are fewer opportunities to look through them, people only record them and rarely have the time to reminisce.

Taking photos as souvenirs and reading the words are the most important thing!
