Chapter 66 Photo Frame
"Ping An, your wife is so pretty, and you are pretty too. This photo is great, and it makes me want to take a photo too."
Uncle Zhang blew away the sawdust on the frame, held the photo and measured it, and it was just right.
He had never taken such a photo before and thought it was creepy to have his face on a small piece of paper.
Now when I get the photos, I feel that there is a reason for everything to appear.
Anyone who sees this photo can feel the sweetness and happiness between the two.
He is old now and can't even remember what he looked like when he was young. He was clearly a handsome young man in the village back then.
It’s better to take a photo as soon as possible, otherwise in a few decades, he will forget what he looks like now!
Uncle Zhang handed the photo frame to Lu Ping'an with a smile: "Look, is it like this?"
Uncle Zhang had never taken photos, so naturally he had never made a photo frame. He made this according to Lu Ping'an's description. If they didn't know how to do this, they would be unable to make a living.
The edge of the photo frame was polished smoothly without any burrs. Uncle Zhang had great craftsmanship and carved patterns on it in a unique way. He also painted it with a layer of red paint, making it look bright and eye-catching.
"That's right, Uncle Zhang. How much is it?"
Lu Ping'an couldn't let it go. He had seen it in a photo studio before, but they were all big and could only be used to cover the entire photo, which didn't look very good.
He came back and described it to Uncle Zhang, asking him to make a smaller one that could stand up. Unexpectedly, the one he made was even more exquisite than the one in the photo studio.
Zhang Bo waved his hand and said, "How much can this cost? I don't want any money."
Ping An had helped him take his handicrafts to the county town to sell before, and he had made quite a bit of money. He was always learning new things, and this time he had learned how to make photo frames, and if someone else did it in the future, they could also make some money from it.
"That won't work, Uncle Zhang."
Uncle Zhang glared at him and said, "If you said no, then don't. Just consider it as my wedding gift to you. If you still want to call me Uncle Zhang, don't argue with me."
It would be disrespectful to refuse, so Lu Ping'an could only happily hold the photo frame and go back to cook mung bean water.
Very good, today is also the day to be a hardworking husband to my wife.
…
"Xiao Yue—my Xiao Yue! I miss you so much, woooo."
Faced with Hu Qingqing who rushed over and hugged her tightly, Shen Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He took out a corn from his bosom and broke off half of it for her: "Qingqing, stop crying. Do you miss me or my food?"
Hu Qingqing smiled and took it over swiftly: "I miss both, I miss both~ Mainly I miss you, I miss food a little bit, definitely not as much as you."
"Oh, no."
Hu Qingqing's eyebrows were pursed into a shape, and her mouth twisted: "Xiaoyue, how can you think of me like this."
Shen Xiaoyue pinched her round face and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you. Let's get to work."
November is the season for digging sweet potatoes. Each person is responsible for a small piece of sweet potato and has to dig for half a month. Shen Xiaoyue was so tired that she almost sat in the soil.
When Hu Qingqing and I were drinking some water under a tree nearby to relax for a while, we heard Chen Xing and Li Lan chattering nearby. They deliberately glanced in their direction, fearing that they couldn't hear us.
"Yes, we will have a wedding in a while. He told me that I don't need to work in the fields after the wedding. His family doesn't need me. I just need to stay at home and give him a big fat boy."
"Sister Li Lan, did Comrade Zhang really say that? I really envy you. You are also lucky to have found a hardworking man. I heard that Zhang Mazi's sister can earn 35 yuan a month working in a factory. This is a stable job."
Li Lan covered her mouth and laughed: "He said his sister is asking around for him. If possible, let's see if we can get him over there too."
"That's great, I can live in the county town." Chen Xing turned her head exaggeratedly and looked at Chen Xiaoyue: "Sister, don't you think so? Getting married is like a second life. If you marry well, you don't have to work. If you marry badly, you will be driven out to work within two days of marriage."
"Men are always deceiving. Before marriage, they said nice things to you and praised you, but you took them seriously. You're in big trouble."
Li Lan also smiled at Shen Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, you can come along when the time comes. It may not be as good as the Lu family's scene. Youde told me that instead of doing some work to fill the scene, it is better to live a good life down to earth. If you fill up your face, you can't hold up your heart, and it will be uncomfortable, right?"
Chen Xiaoyue smiled and wiped the water drops from her lips: "What face and substance, you are talking in a flowery way, I don't understand. Face and substance are good, it's better than some people who just want to pick up other people's second-hand goods."
Chen Xing's face was pale and blue. What was the point of picking up other people's second-hand goods? Brother Xie Ning had explained to her that he was with Zhao Linlin just to go back to the city, and as soon as he went back, he would find a way to take herself back with him. Chen Xiaoyue didn't understand at all!
She is now a short-sighted frog in a well who married a country bumpkin.
Forget about going back to the city. I’m afraid I’ll have to ask Lu Ping’an for help every time I go to the county town in the future! She wanted to see how long her cousin, who was so proud of herself, could last.
"Wife~~~~~~~~~~~~"
A familiar voice came closer and closer. Shen Xiaoyue looked up and saw Lu Ping'an walking towards her with a bucket. She didn't know what was in it. Lu Ping'an held the bottom with his hand to prevent it from shaking.
As if he wanted everyone in the village to hear him, he started shouting from a distance even though he saw her.
Hu Qingqing sensibly took a few steps to the side.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the two of them jokingly with kind smiles on their faces.
They have a great relationship right after getting married and can't be separated for a moment.
Shen Xiaoyue's face turned red because of his shouting, and when other people looked at her, she even forgot what to do with her hands and feet.
When Lu Ping'an came up to her, she pulled him to her side and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
With Hu Qingqing here, Lu Pingan restrained himself a little, and didn't hang on Shen Xiaoyue directly. He just handed over the bucket indifferently, grinned, and showed a row of teeth generously: "Wife, I'll give you some freshly boiled mung bean water."
Then he took out a teacup he brought from home and said, "Comrade Hu, would you like some?"
Hu Qingqing was greedy, but she was too embarrassed to do so in front of outsiders, so she gritted her teeth and refused.
Unfortunately, she had been exposed by Shen Xiaoyue many times. Lu Ping'an would hear his wife say "I brought it for Qingqing" and "Let Qingqing taste it" from time to time. Otherwise, why would he bring a teacup with him?
My wife won’t be able to finish all the food she cooks, so it’s better to share it with her friends.
When he was lying at home, he found that whenever his mother and father quarreled, she would look for Aunt Liang and Aunt Zhang, and the three of them would chat together.
Sometimes Aunt Liang and Aunt Zhang would give his mother some advice and her anger would slowly subside. When Dad came back, the two of them would have a good talk and even go for a walk hand in hand.
But if Aunt Liang and Aunt Zhang are in a bad mood, the situation will inevitably escalate, and a large-scale quarrel will break out among the three small families that night.
