The New Year's greetings were like a quick tour, and finally I went to Teacher Liang's house.
Teacher Liang's house was always crowded with people coming and going.
Qin Zheng brought Yun Qiao in, stopped briefly in front of Commander Liang, showed his face, said a few auspicious words for the New Year, and then did not stay any longer.
On the way home, Qin Zheng met a few comrades-in-arms who were close to him. He stopped to say hello and chatted for a few minutes before they left.
The family had already agreed to take a photo at a photo studio on New Year's Day. They had never taken a family photo together before.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the number of people in the family compound wasn't too large, but not too small either. Most of them were newlyweds, taking advantage of the few days off to stroll around, catch a movie, and enjoy a rare relaxing time.
The logistics department was very humane and arranged military trucks as shuttle buses, placing benches in the truck bed, so that one truck could carry 20 to 30 people.
The roads in the Great Northern Wilderness were uneven, and the bumpy road surface could break one's buttocks in half while sitting in the truck bed, but it was necessary to sit in. Because so many people applied for a car on Lunar New Year's Day, even applying in advance might not guarantee an application, so Qin Zheng was not able to apply.
After getting on the military truck, Yun Qiao discovered that Cui Xuezhi and Dong Dingbang were also on the bus.
Yun Qiao was a little surprised. Cui Xuezhi was the niece of Commander Liang, but even she couldn't apply for a special car?
In fact, it wasn’t that Cui Xuezhi couldn’t apply, but it was that Commander Liang firmly refused to allow her to do so.
It was the mink coat Cui Xuezhi had bought a few days ago. It had angered not only her in-laws but also Cui Jing and Teacher Liang from her own family.
It was extravagant and wasteful, completely at odds with the simple style that Commander Liang had always upheld.
Therefore, Commander Liang ordered her to reflect deeply and strictly forbade her to use her privileges again.
Seeing Yun Qiao, Cui Xuezhi turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
Dong Dingbang took the initiative to greet Qin Zheng: "Brother Qin, you guys are here too. What a coincidence, Xuezhi and I are about to go to the cinema to watch a movie."
Qin Zheng nodded politely and exchanged a few simple greetings. Then someone else got on the bus, so the two of them stopped talking and each brought a small stool to sit on both sides of the military truck.
When the rear carriage was full of people, the military truck set off.
The truck had a bumpy ride all the way and finally arrived at 䭹䛌 around noon.
After getting off the car, Qin Zheng walked to the driver's seat of the truck, asked about the return time, and then took his family to the photo studio.
There was only one photo studio in the city, located next to the People's Government, and it was called the Dongfanghong State-owned Photo Studio.
After a busy year, people all want to take a group photo during the Chinese New Year when their families reunite. Therefore, many people come to photo studios to take photos.
As soon as Yun Qiao entered the photo studio, he saw many unfamiliar faces. They were all wearing fashionable clothes and had happy smiles on their faces.
The photographer at the photo studio was a middle-aged man who was very busy, directing people in the studio to pose and take pictures. The person who greeted Yun Qiao and the others was an apprentice at the photo studio, a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
Because he was very busy, the young apprentice's attitude was not very enthusiastic. He casually took out a list with prices and handed it to Yun Qiao and the others without any explanation. He just let them choose the size they wanted to take.
Yun Qiao looked at the price list and found that the photo studios here charged much cheaper than in Shanghai.
In Shanghai, a single-inch ID photo costs 10 cents, but here it's half the price. A three-inch photo costs 70 cents, a five-inch photo costs 1 yuan, a six-inch photo costs 1.5 yuan, and a seven-inch photo costs 2 yuan.
