Chapter 67 Ice Skating



As He Dongchuan expected, Su Ting did buy clothes when they went shopping the next day. And more than one set. She bought a cotton jacket and a thick wool coat, two sets of autumn clothes and pants, two thick sweaters, and also a hat and scarf.

There is no way. The winter in the capital is too cold. The two cotton jackets I originally had were fine to wear when going out at noon when the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly. But if I went out too early or it was cloudy and rainy, they really couldn't withstand the northwest wind in the capital.

Su Ting felt it was not worth it to catch a cold just to save a few tickets.

Not only Su Ting bought clothes, but both father and son also bought clothes. He Dongchuan also bought a thick woolen coat, a scarf and gloves. He Yan bought almost a complete set of clothes, from inner to outer, and even Man Man got a new, thicker swaddling cloth.

After buying things, the group went to Bian Yi Fang to eat roast duck with their bags.

When talking about roast duck in the capital, most outsiders think of Quanjude, which is so famous.

In her previous life, Su Ting came to the capital to attend university. The first thing she did after registering was to go to the Forbidden City. After visiting the Forbidden City, she went to Wangfujing. When she was hungry at night, she ate at Quanjude. It was a one-stop tour.

Of course, Quanjude's roast duck is indeed delicious, not worse than Bianyifang's. He Dongchuan came to Bianyifang because he chose the place according to his own taste, and it has nothing to do with other places.

In the 1970s, not as many people came to the capital for tourism as in later generations. Firstly, people were poor at that time and few were willing to spend money to travel. Secondly, transportation was inconvenient at that time and it would take more than half a day by train to go to a place a little further away. Thirdly, there were many restrictions on household registration at that time and one needed a letter of introduction to go everywhere, which was not easy to get.

They were able to successfully obtain the letter of introduction because He Dongchuan's household registration was in the capital before he joined the army, and his parents were also in the capital, so he followed the procedure of returning home to visit relatives.

There were few tourists, and the roast duck was not cheap, costing twelve yuan each. The roast duck was obviously not enough, so we had to order other dishes. For three or four people, a table of food would cost around twenty or thirty yuan.

Therefore, the customer flow of Bian Yi Fang at that time was far less than that in later generations, but at least they did not have to queue up.

After we sat down, the roast duck was served very quickly, and it was on the table in about ten minutes. The roast duck was sliced, and the brown and shiny duck skin was covered with duck meat, a thin slice, which looked very tempting.

Also served on the table are lotus leaf cakes, sweet bean paste, cucumber strips, etc. It depends on personal preference what to wrap.

Su Ting doesn't like cucumber, so she took the lotus leaf cake, spread sweet sauce on it, and put two radish strips in it. The lotus leaf cake she wrapped was so thin that she could eat it in one bite.

The father and son were not as picky as she was. They forgot to add anything on top. A lotus leaf cake was wrapped so thickly that He Yan could not finish it in one bite and had to divide it into three bites. He Dongchuan could eat it in one bite, but he still had to maintain his image in public and divided it into two bites.

Manman, who was sitting in the baby chair, was drooling at the sight of his father, mother and brother eating so deliciously. He patted the edge of the baby chair and shouted, "I want more, I want more..."

As for what she wanted, she couldn't say.

But she was still young and had barely grown any teeth, so Su Ting and He Dongchuan didn't dare feed her roast duck. They could only ask the waiter to borrow hot water and mix milk powder for her to drink slowly.

Normally, she is not picky about her food and drinks both formula and breast milk. But when she is in a restaurant, smelling the aroma of roast duck in the air and looking at the variety of food on the table, the milk that she used to think was good becomes tasteless.

Gradually, he felt that he was so pitiful that he refused to take the milk bottle. Instead, he pointed at the plate of roast duck and cried, his voice sounding extremely aggrieved.

But no matter how wronged she felt, Su Ting did not dare to give her food. She could only say to He Dongchuan, "I'll carry her out for a walk for a while." She wouldn't be able to smell the fragrance after going out, so she should be fine after a while.

"Let me carry her out, you guys continue eating." He Dongchuan said as he put down his chopsticks.

Su Ting didn't hold back and said, "Then I'll switch with you later."

He Dongchuan responded, stood up and walked out with the girl in his arms.

After these two days, Su Ting discovered that her daughter was no longer satisfied with milk powder and breast milk, and started to crave adult food. Moreover, she had a very sharp nose, and her mouth would become greedy when she smelled the fragrance of food, and she would cry at the top of her lungs if she was not given the food.

So after this meal, Su Ting was particularly conscious every time it was mealtime. She and He Dongchuan took turns holding the child and eating.

Of course, this was when they were outside. If they were at home, her mother-in-law and Aunt Wang would also help hold the baby. Sometimes He's father would hurry up to eat, hold the baby for a while, and then teach her to call grandpa.

By New Year's Eve, I had gradually learned to call out "Grandpa" very well.

In the days before New Year's Eve, the family was busy. They visited the Forbidden City. Su Ting and He Dongchuan also went to watch the flag-raising ceremony early. Because it was too cold in the morning, He Yan could not get up and did not take the two children with him. Afterwards, they visited the Ditan and went to Shichahai for ice skating.

Su Ting lived in the capital for several years in her previous life, but had never been to Shichahai to skate.

Firstly, she only knew how to roller skate, and secondly, Shichahai was a completely open space, unlike an ice rink which had railings around it where one could hold on to and skate slowly. She was afraid of falling, so she had never been there.

Therefore, when He Dongchuan suggested going to Shichahai for ice skating, her first reaction was "no", but both of their grandfathers were very enthusiastic about it and tried their best to encourage them.

Cheng Xiaoman also supported them to go out more often, as it was a rare trip back to the capital, and it would be a pity for them to stay at home all the time. Aunt Wang told them to go without worrying, and she would help take care of Man Man at home, so they didn't need to worry.

Finally, Su Ting couldn't resist their persuasion, so she changed her clothes and went out with He Dongchuan and his son.

On the way to Shichahai, Su Ting asked He Yan if he could skate.

In Su Ting's opinion, He Yan was only six years old when he went to Pingchuan Island. Even if he had been to Shichahai, he probably had not skated much and was very likely a novice like herself.

This way, if I fail to learn, I won't be embarrassed, and there will be someone to accompany me.

Besides, she has some basic knowledge of roller skating, so maybe she can learn faster than He Yan. Although it is a bit embarrassing to compare these things with a child, who cares? As long as there is someone to accompany her, it will be fine.

"Yes, I'm very good at skating. Mom, can you do it? If not, I can teach you." He Yan patted his chest and encouraged himself.

You don’t know until you ask. Once you ask, you’ll be surprised.

It turned out that when He Yan was three years old, his grandfather would take him to Shichahai to play every now and then. He started by sitting on an ice sled and wore ice skates when he was four or five years old.

Ice sleds are a feature of this era, and there are many different styles. The simplest one is a baby stroller at home, with four wheels underneath, which can run very fast on the ice. There are also "I"-shaped sleds made of wood, with iron bars or steel sheets installed under the wood, and two iron rods, so you can sit and enjoy the fun of "skiing".

The ice skates were all large in size. Because He Yan was young and his body was getting bigger, his family didn't buy him ice skates. He had to rent a pair of ice skates to go skating, which only cost a few cents a day. The rented ice skates didn't have the right size, so he had to choose a few sizes larger and stuff them with cotton to skate.

Actually, He Yan had been skating for three years before leaving the capital, which made him much better than Su Ting, a roller skater.

But Su Ting didn't dare to let He Yan teach her. For a sport like skating, it is only effective if you teach by hand. And teaching by hand is a test of the instructor's arm strength. There is a height difference between the two of them. If she can't hold on, the result will be that they will both fall flat on their faces.

At times like this, the tall He Dongchuan can give people a sense of security.

Although Su Ting believed in He Dongchuan's arm strength, when she arrived at Shichahai Lake and saw the people wearing ice skates running at lightning speed on the lake, Su Ting was still a little scared. While sitting down to change her ice skates, she asked, "Can you hold on to me?"

Being suspected, He Dongchuan felt unhappy: "I thought you knew my strength."

Su Ting: "..." If it weren't for the unhappy look on his face, she would really suspect that he was joking.

But people are under the eaves. Whether she will be unscathed or covered with bruises depends on the man in front of her. Therefore, Su Ting chose to bow her head without any backbone: "I know you are great, but this is on the ice."

Her voice was soft, like a brush brushing across He Dongchuan's heart, making him feel itchy.

He Dongchuan lowered his voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you fall."

"What if it falls?" Su Ting continued to press forward.

"I'll do whatever you say tonight."

Su Ting snorted: "Tonight alone is not enough."

He Dongchuan smiled and said, "It was you who asked me to take you ice skating." How did it become like he was begging someone?

Su Ting didn't care and asked in a nagging manner, "Why, you can't afford to play?"

"Okay, if I make you fall, I will not touch you until we go home," He Dongchuan suddenly stopped, bent down to Su Ting's ear, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I will not touch you."

In the freezing cold, Su Ting actually felt a hint of warmth. She looked up at him and said, "Who told you this?"

"Isn't this why you said so much?"

Su Ting was so angry that she said, "You forced me to do that."

She got angry when she talked about this. She originally thought that he wouldn't be able to get condoms in the capital, after all, his household registration was not here, and if he went to the hospital to see a doctor, the doctor might not give him one.

Because of this, she let him do what he wanted a few days ago, but yesterday, a bunch of condoms were found in the drawer of their bedside table!

She felt strange and only after she questioned him did he admit that these condoms were brought back from the hospital by Cheng Xiaoman.

He Dongchuan had taken out the trash in their room a few days ago. Except for the first day, he had never done anything crazy during the day. So she thought Cheng Xiaoman didn't know what they did at night.

result!!!

He Dongchuan actually asked his mother to help him get condoms from the hospital!

Su Ting's face turned red at that moment, and she felt so embarrassed that she couldn't face anyone.

Although He Dongchuan coaxed Su Ting for most of the night, after getting up in the morning, Su Ting still didn't know how to face Cheng Xiaoman. So after being in the capital for so long, she took a rare nap and got up only when Cheng Xiaoman went out for work.

Thinking of these things, Su Ting couldn't help but look up and glare at He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan rubbed his nose guiltily, not daring to joke anymore, and said honestly: "Do you think I can atone for my crime today? If you fall, I will do whatever you ask me to do before we return to Pingchuan Island, without hesitation."

He was secretly on guard in his heart that even if he fell and got bruised all over today, he would not let his wife touch the ice!

Only then did Su Ting feel satisfied, raised her chin and said, "Okay."

With He Dongchuan's assurance, Su Ting felt relieved and her speed in putting on her ice skates increased greatly. She had tied her shoelaces in no time.

But He Yan was very dissatisfied with her speed. He skated over to her on his ice skates and asked, "I've already skated around, why are you still here?" He thought that his parents were really slow!

Because she got the result she wanted, Su Ting did not blame He Dongchuan, and took the initiative to say: "I am afraid of falling, so I need to prepare myself mentally first."

"I told you I could teach you." He Yan said. He really wanted to show off in front of his mother.

He Dongchuan sneered and said, "Come on, with your small body, don't take your mother with you. I'm here, you don't have to worry about it, just skate."

He Yan was very unhappy about being looked down upon: "I am eight years old this year, eight years old! I am not small! I won't lead my mother to wrestle! Right, mom!"

Su Ting was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she really couldn't trust He Yan's strength, but on the other hand, she didn't want to undermine He Yan's self-confidence. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Mom has confidence in your skating skills, but I'm taller and fatter than you. If I fall, you may not be strong enough to pull me up now. But mom believes that when you grow up to your dad's age, you will definitely be able to lead mom."

He Yan felt very disappointed when he heard only the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the rest, he regained his confidence. He looked up at his father and threatened, "When I grow up to be as old as you, I will definitely be better than you."

He Dongchuan laughed: "I'll wait."

After that, He Dongchuan extended his hand to Su Ting and said to He Yan, "You can go now."

Unsatisfied with his father's attitude, He Yan insisted on confronting him and said, "I want to watch from here."

"what ever."

After He Dongchuan finished speaking, he moved his hand upwards from Su Ting's palm to her elbow and said, "Hold my elbow and stand up slowly. Don't be afraid, I will catch you."

As Su Ting stood up, the skates under her shoes gradually exerted force, leaving marks on the ice, and she slid forward slightly, while her body couldn't help but fall backward.

He Dongchuan held her elbow tightly and guided her, "Bend your knees slightly and move your body's center of gravity forward."

Although she had never worn ice skates, Su Ting had the basic knowledge of roller skating, so she quickly adjusted her body shape and stood up tremblingly. However, her posture was not very good-looking and she did not dare to move forward.

"Don't worry, I can definitely hold you." He Dongchuan comforted her while guiding Su Ting to slide forward.

"It's agreed." Su Ting confirmed again, took a deep breath, and slid forward with her right foot.

He Dongchuan encouraged: "Yes, that's it, you did a great job."

Su Ting, who was a little frightened at first, couldn't help laughing: "I only slid forward less than ten centimeters." Ten centimeters was an exaggeration on her part. In reality, it was probably only three or four centimeters.

In other words, she has self-awareness. If someone else were to be praised so highly by He Dongchuan, they would probably think themselves to be awesome before even stepping onto the ice.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you can bravely take the first step, you have already won over many people." He Dongchuan said seriously and asked, "You can continue to take the second step, right?"

Su Ting deliberately said: "You have already put me in a difficult position with your words. I have to do it even if I have to."

He Dongchuan laughed softly: "If you can't do it, I can hold you and slide."

Although He Dongchuan's tone seemed to be joking, Su Ting felt that if she dared to nod, he might really do such a thing. She looked around and said, "There are so many people here, you should be careful."

"We are a married couple, why should I pay attention? And haven't you noticed that there are many young people learning to skate here?" He Dongchuan said, and suddenly lowered his head, "It's the left foot."

As he spoke, He Dongchuan moved his right foot back, and Su Ting was pulled forward and slid a big step.

Because she was caught off guard, Su Ting couldn't control her body and fell forward, and was directly embraced by He Dongchuan.

"you--"

Su Ting had just opened her mouth when He Dongchuan's eyes lit up as he said, "Because in ice skating, no matter how talented a person is, they will inevitably fall during the learning process. And when learning, holding hands and hugging waists is a very normal thing. The security team will not say anything if they see it. So some young people who have a date like to bring their date to Shichahai in the winter, skate, touch hands, and their relationship will definitely progress rapidly."

He Dongchuan said this as he retreated backwards. Su Ting was led by him and had to try hard to slide forward.

Thanks to her good roller skating skills and agility, she was able to follow He Dongchuan's movements and control her body without appearing to be aggressive.

In order to save her face, she still had the energy to settle accounts with He Dongchuan: "You make a very reasonable point, Comrade He, you are very experienced. Tell me the truth, how many female comrades have you brought to skate?"

"No." He Dongchuan said without hesitation.

"If you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely."

He Dongchuan said: "Really not, I went to military school when I was 16 years old. I was in the special forces for the first few years of my military service. The missions were heavy, the vacations were few, and I rarely went home."

He Dongchuan was eighteen or nineteen years old and full of vigor and vitality. To be honest, he rarely considered the opinions of his family when doing things.

So after graduating from the military academy, he did not follow his parents' advice and go to the relatively stable Central Theater, but went to the southwest where conditions were harsh and chose the unit with the heaviest mission.

At that time, every time they went on a mission, their leaders would ask them to write a will in advance. Others wrote long speeches, but he only wrote a few short sentences.

When he and Zhou Yuan first got married, they had an argument because of his work.

At that time, he applied for more than 20 days of leave. According to the plan, he could stay at home for another 10 days after getting the certificate. But less than a week after getting the certificate, he received a notice that there was an urgent task and he needed to return to the team immediately.

Zhou Yuan couldn't accept it and didn't allow him to go, so the two parted unhappily.

After she became pregnant with He Yan, she told him more directly about her future plans during a phone call. She needed a sense of security and hoped that he could leave the special forces, but he was unwilling to do so. He was never afraid to sacrifice his life for his country.

When they were young, both of them were proud and neither of them was willing to bow their heads, so the relationship between the two became increasingly strained. When Zhou's father passed away, their marriage collapsed.

The time he and Zhou Yuan spent together was too short and they had never gone on many dates, so naturally he had never been to Shichahai.

But he couldn't swear to Su Ting that there was nothing between them. They had been married and had a child, so how could there be nothing?

Su Ting was not very willing to talk in depth with He Dongchuan about his previous marriage, because once they started talking, it would be difficult to strike the right balance.

If she acted too calmly, it would seem that she didn't care, but if she acted too much, it would seem that she was petty. Life is not perfect, and when she decided to spend her life with He Dongchuan, she had already prepared herself mentally.

Therefore, Su Ting did not ask him why he rarely went home when he was in the special forces. She just smiled and asked, "What about the winter and summer vacations?"

"The Shichahai Lake is not frozen during the summer vacation, and the winter vacation is not enough time for me to find a partner," He Dongchuan lowered his head slightly, smiled at Su Ting and said, "After all, not every girl has the courage to rely on me."

Knowing that He Dongchuan was referring to the arranged marriage, Su Ting spat, "My eyesight was poor at that time, so don't flatter yourself." Anyway, it was the original person who did that, so she had no pressure to make fun of herself.

"That's fine. After all, not every girl in this world has bad eyesight." He Dongchuan also had no pressure to make fun of himself.

After making fun of himself, he quickly turned the topic back to skating itself: "Can I speed up?"

"Speed ​​up!" Su Ting's eyes widened immediately. She just felt it slipping!

He Dongchuan did not give her much time to react. He took her surprise as approval and increased his speed to slide backwards.

Under the force of gravity, Su Ting was thrown forward again and was once again held in He Dongchuan's arms. He held her elbow with one hand and her waist with the other to help her keep her balance.

You know what, the ice rink is a great place.

If they were outside, with their posture, not only would the security team, but even the old men and women they met on the street would have stepped forward to stop them. But in the ice rink, the old men and women who passed by didn't even look at them, maybe they were used to it.

He Yan, who couldn't wait any longer and slid out, then slid back in, covering his eyes with his hands with open fingers.

As a result, because he was too proud of himself, he didn't pay attention to the front and bumped into a half-grown child who was skating over cautiously. He clearly saw him, but couldn't avoid him because of his lack of experience, and fell on his butt.

Hearing He Yan's call, Su Ting quickly turned around and asked, "Xiao Yan, how are you?"

Because he had previously boasted that he was great, He Yan had a lot of idol baggage. He was still yelling at first, but when he heard his mother's voice, he immediately stopped yelling, sat up, rubbed his butt secretly and said, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Su Ting was afraid that He Yan might get hurt, so she asked He Dongchuan to go over and take a look.

He Dongchuan did not move and asked, "What will you do if I go?"

"I'll wait for you here." Although she felt like she was going to slip, she didn't dare to slide any further without He Dongchuan's support.

"Are you standing steady?"

Although she was doubted, Su Ting was not angry, because she herself was not sure whether she could stand steadily, so she said unsurely: "I think I can do it."

"No, I promised you that you wouldn't fall today. If you lose your balance and fall, then I wouldn't have failed to do what I promised you."

If he didn't do what he promised her, it meant that he would have to listen to her for the next ten days. She was the one who had the final say in their family. The only time when she couldn't make the final decision was basically at night. Once she could make the final decision, the first thing she would do was to make him endure until he returned to Pingchuan Island.

It's okay to listen to her about other things, but when it comes to sex, you must never give in.

Su Ting glared at him: "What if Xiao Yan gets hurt?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Yan is not the type to hold back. If he was really hurt, he would have been crying by now."

And he just saw it clearly. After hearing his wife's voice, his son rubbed his butt and pretended nothing happened.

He Dongchuan thinks that if someone still knows how to save face after falling, then he must be very handsome.

Therefore, he feels at ease as a tiger father.

As they were talking, He Yan had already climbed up from the ice and apologized to the boy he bumped into. Seeing that he was young, the boy didn't bother with him and skated away carefully.

After the other party left, He Yan also started skating. His movements were smooth and there was no sign that he had just fallen.

In order to prove that his fall was not due to his poor skills, He Yan quickly skated in front of his parents and explained, "I didn't see it just now, otherwise I would have been able to dodge it!"

Su Ting asked with concern: "Does it hurt when you fell just now? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all!" He Yan waved his hand, "I'm going to go ice skating!" After saying that, he skated away. During the time, he looked back several times. When he felt the distance was far enough, he rubbed his butt with his hand.

The fall was not serious, but it hurt!

As soon as He Yan left, He Dongchuan said to Su Ting: "See, I told you he was fine."

Su Ting taunted, "You are really my father."

"It must be kissed." He Dongchuan answered without any guilt and continued to teach Su Ting how to skate.

Su Ting was quite gifted in skating. In less than two hours, she had mastered the basics and could skate slowly on her own.

But He Dongchuan never let go of her hand, and his excuse was reasonable: "If I let go, what if you fall and I can't catch you in time?"

Su Ting was afraid of falling, and thought that having him holding her hand would indeed increase her sense of security, so she let him do it.

The three of them didn't go back until lunch time. They found a small restaurant nearby to have lunch and continued to ski in the afternoon. According to He Dongchuan, it's a rare opportunity to come here, and it would be a shame to go back without having fun.

He Yan was also very excited and nodded in agreement. Su Ting had no choice but to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.

But she had a really great time that day. In the morning she was just a beginner and was still restrained, but in the afternoon she let go and ran so recklessly that even He Dongchuan couldn't hold her back. There were two times when she would have had close contact with the ice if he hadn't rushed in so fast and landed below her.

When he fell for the second time, He Dongchuan heard a clicking sound. He looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing ice skates standing not far away, holding a camera and taking pictures of them.

Due to his profession, He Dongchuan was quite sensitive to these things. After helping Su Ting up, he pulled her over and asked, "Were you filming us just now?"

"I thought you guys were interesting, so I took a few more photos." Seeing He Dongchuan frown, the other party explained, "This is what I mean. I'm a reporter for Capital Evening News. Recently, the newspaper wants to do a special feature on Shichahai Ice Rink, so they arranged for me to come to the rink for an interview. Do you have time?"

He Dongchuan declined, saying, "I'm sorry, but due to work reasons, it may not be convenient for me to appear in your newspaper."

Nowadays, many people wear military coats when skating, but there is a saying that basically, those who wear military coats when skating are not soldiers. For disciplinary reasons, real soldiers will wear casual clothes when skating. [1]

He Dongchuan was wearing casual clothes today, a dark sweater inside and a gray wool coat outside. You could tell that he came from a well-off family, but you couldn't tell what his occupation was.

However, he was calm and the other party did not doubt what he said. He smiled and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to be published, I can keep your photos undeveloped. Or you can leave me your address and I will mail them to you after the photos are developed."

He Dongchuan was a little tempted. Since their marriage, he and Su Ting have never had a photo together.

Although they agreed to go to a photo studio in two days to take a family portrait, they could take a photo of the two of them at that time, but the indoor and outdoor photos would be different.

Moreover, this was their first time to come here to ice-skate, so it was very memorable and it would be nice if they could take a photo.

Thinking of this, He Dongchuan asked, "Can I see your work ID?"

"Sure." The middle-aged man readily took out his work ID and handed it to He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan carefully checked the work permit and confirmed that it was fine. He returned it to the other party and asked, "How long will it take for the photos to be developed? How can I get them from you?"

"I'll go back and work overtime. The photos will be ready in two days. Please leave me your address and I'll send them to you directly after they're developed. Alternatively, you can leave me your phone number and I'll contact you when the photos are developed. We can also arrange a place to pick them up."

He Dongchuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Please leave me your work phone number. I will call you in two days."

Calls need to be manually transferred, so if you leave a phone number, you also have to give the other party relevant information, and he would not give his home phone number to a stranger.

Considering that the other party might have the same idea as him, he also asked for the other party's unit phone number. For organizations like newspapers, the phone numbers are public, so it doesn't matter if he gives it to them.

Seeing his caution, the other party was silent for a moment, took out a notebook, wrote down the newspaper's phone number and name, handed it to He Dongchuan, and said, "Then we will contact each other in a few days."

"OK."

Two days later, He Dongchuan contacted the other party and agreed on a place to pick up the photos.

There are two photos in total. One shows them sprinting hand in hand. Both of them have their legs bent and their backs hunched. One has a bright smile and the other has a raised eyebrow.

Another photo captured the moment they fell. He was lying on his back on the ice, one hand around her waist, the other protecting her head, and she was lying on his chest with her mouth wide open. If there was any sound, she would have shouted, "Ah——"

The photos are very nice, the scenery is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. Moreover, it is only the size of a palm, so it is very suitable to be put in a wallet.

Although He Dongchuan didn't have a wallet, the idea came to him and he decided to buy one. And he did buy a wallet and put the photo of them falling in it.

Wallets are not durable and need to be replaced every two or three years. But even if by chance they later contacted the newspaper to get the negatives and developed larger and clearer photos, they would never have seen the photos in his wallet.

Of course, that was all a story for the future. Now, He Dongchuan was holding the photo and felt that it was not enough no matter how he looked at it. When he apologized to the person, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he offered to pay according to the market price.

But the other party refused to accept it, saying that he used the newspaper's camera and film and did not spend any money. Fortunately, He Dongchuan had made preparations. Before coming, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cakes and snacks, which were enough to cover the photography fees, so he forced the money on the other party.

This time the other party was unable to persuade He Dongchuan and finally left with his things.

After returning home, He Dongchuan shared the photos with everyone immediately. The adults were very satisfied. Some praised Su Ting for her beauty, while others praised the photographer for his skills.

Only He Yan, after holding up two photos and looking at them for a long time without finding himself, angrily complained: "You took the photo without me!"

He went ice skating too!

He Dongchuan said with no guilt: "We didn't ask someone to take the photo for us. Someone else took the photo of us first, and then we asked him for the photo. As for why you are not in the photo, is there any need to think about it? He was sent by the newspaper, so he must take the photo of the best-looking and most photogenic person, right?"

He Yan: “…”
