◎Third update◎
When Wu Er saw a small hand holding a one-dollar bill being handed towards him, he was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"Your daughter is quite interesting."
Xu Shengjie had never expected that his daughter would have to pay others. Sometimes, as a father, he couldn't understand what was going on in Shanshan's little head.
However, he was not modest about his girlfriend loving herself. "She is quite interesting. Sometimes I get amused when I talk to her."
Wu Er hadn't done such a small transaction for a long time. It was a one-dollar "transaction", but as the big boss of the Cantonese clothing wholesale market, he still had to give people 20 cents in change. Who would believe it if he told others about it?
"Uncle doesn't have even two cents on him." Wu Er really didn't have such a small amount of money on him.
Shanshan's head spun again, and she said generously, "Then uncle should owe me two cents."
"good!"
Wu Er wanted to touch Shanshan's head, but the little girl didn't want to. She took two steps back and shrank to her mother's side. The bearded uncle was so scary.
Wu Er didn't mind, he took the money from Shan Shan and put it in his pocket, "Then you guys should take more photos, it will also be a souvenir."
"Thank you, Brother Wu."
Xu Shengjie left with his daughter and daughter-in-law. With a camera, the three of them took a lot of photos in the next few days.
This time he took some time to take his wife and children to Wu Erxin's clothing wholesale market and had two meals with the people there. Because there were so many people and the place was so diverse, he did not take Baozhen and Shanshan with him for the meal.
Xu Shengjie had some free time left, so he took his wife and daughter out for a stroll.
It was of course much more convenient to bring a camera with you. Wu Er even prepared film for them. The three of them took photos under the Cantonese-style tower, in front of the vast lake, in front of the five-story building, Shanshan was held high by her father, leaving a photo of her smiling with big white teeth. At the riverside pier, the mother and daughter took the ferry for the first time, looking at the rippling river water, Shanshan wanted to reach out and touch it, but was caught by her mother, and was also photographed...
A few days later, Hua Qiankuai Chong got the photos. Shanshan looked at the photos one by one. They included her father, mother and herself. How amazing!
She looked up and asked her father, "Dad, why can we go in?"
How did she get into the photo? Shanshan is young, but there are so many reasons.
Xu Shengjie was speechless after Shanshan's question. He really didn't know how the camera worked.
Don’t worry if you don’t know. Just tell your wife, “Ask your mom. She’s a college student.”
Liang Baozhen glared at Xu Shengjie and looked at Shanshan's curious gaze, not knowing how to explain this to a child who was almost three years old.
“This is the principle of pinhole imaging.”
Shanshan's head tilted and her mouth moved. Liang Baozhen knew that her daughter would ask more questions, such as what pinhole imaging was. She was ready to explain it to the child, but then she heard Shanshan speak.
"What is the original?"
Liang Baozhen: "..."
I don't really like to play by the rules.
On the day of leaving Yueshi, the family went out for lunch, returned to the guesthouse to pack their luggage, and prepared to take the afternoon train back to Beijing.
We stayed here for a week, ate a lot of delicious food, and bought a lot of clothes and daily necessities. In addition to the suitcase we brought at the beginning, the family had another bulging bag in their luggage.
When they arrived at the train station waiting room, Liang Baozhen tied Shanshan's cotton jacket and asked her, "Are you willing to leave here?"
Shanshan was naturally reluctant to leave. After all, this was her first time to go out and have fun. She rode a train, ate a lot of delicious food, and saw many different places.
She nodded, "I want to come again."
Xu Shengjie promised, "From now on, Dad will take you to a place to play every year, okay?"
"Okay!" Shanshan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she grabbed her mother's hand again, "You still have to take care of Mom!"
"Of course there's mom. I can't leave anyone else without your mom." Xu Shengjie whispered to his wife, "She really misses you."
Liang Baozhen hugged her daughter proudly, "Of course not! Look whose daughter she is."
Ten minutes before the train arrived, Wu Er came to see him off, holding the high-end camera that he had lent to Xu Shengjie last time.
Shanshan recognized the black rectangular thing at a glance. It was very powerful and was called "original paste".
Wu Er said goodbye to Xu Shengjie, and gave Liang Baozhen and Shanshan the opportunity to come over and play again.
"I'm busy this time too. Next time, I'll definitely do my best to be a good host."
Liang Baozhen had a great time these days and invited him to Beijing. "Second Brother Wu, you can come to our place when you are free and let Sheng Jie take you around."
"become!"
Wu Er agreed cheerfully, and then saw Shanshan being held in her mother's arms. He had never owed anyone money in these years, but he owed a little girl two cents for the first time in recent days. Shouldn't he pay her back today?
"Shanshan, do you still recognize me?"
Shanshan nodded, "Hello, Uncle Wu."
"I still owe you two dimes, remember?"
Shanshan nodded even more, "I remember it."
She knew that Uncle Wu was her father's good friend, just like she and Chuchu, so last night she silently thought about whether she should ask Uncle Wu to pay back the money, but since he was her father's good friend, she was too embarrassed to ask.
Shanshan felt like she had lost two cents, and could only comfort herself by holding the photos she had taken in the past few days!
"Here, uncle has never owed anyone money in his life. Take this to pay off your debt!" Wu Er handed over the camera.
"Brother Wu, this won't do!" Xu Shengjie pushed the camera back, "Shanshan is just joking, don't take it seriously."
Xu Shengjie knew the price of this imported camera, over a thousand! How could he afford it?
Liang Baozhen also refused again and again, "Second Brother Wu, children just love to play, don't try to amuse her."
Only Shanshan looked at that powerful guy with a bit of envy.
But her parents didn't want it, and she shook her head, "I don't want it."
"Hey, don't listen to your dad and mom, just tell me whether you want it or not." Although Wu Erbie had no special skills, he was good at reading people's expressions, especially a little girl's thoughts were written all over her face.
Shanshan was stunned for a second and nodded slightly.
"Then take it!"
Wu Er stuffed the camera into Shanshan's hands. Her hands were small, so she could only hold the camera in her arms.
"Take it if you like it." Wu Er turned to Xu Shengjie and said, "I think you are really cute, a camera is my gift to you. I haven't used this camera since it was given to me. As a grown man, I have nothing to take pictures of, so you can use it."
Wu Er insisted again and again, and Xu Shengjie and Liang Baozhen had no choice but to thank him and accept it.
Liang Baozhen just gave away the camera worth more than a thousand yuan. She could only sigh that Wu Er was a man of temperament.
Shanshan held the camera tightly, waved goodbye to the bearded uncle, and was carried onto the train by her mother.
Wu Er also bought two sleeper berth tickets for the return train. Just like when she came here, Shanshan took off her shoes, sat on the bed, and started playing with her camera. She had a new toy!
Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie sat together, watching the girl across from them happily playing with her camera, and talked about Wu Er again.
"Brother Wu is incredible. He just gave me such an expensive camera as a gift?"
Xu Shengjie smiled and thought that Wu Er was indeed a talented person. "Wu Er is indeed very casual. He does many things based on his mood. When he is in a good mood, he will treat you as a brother. When he is in a bad mood, even the king of heaven will not be able to help him."
"He is indeed a character." Liang Baozhen talked about his clothing wholesale market again. The day before yesterday, she took her children and Xu Shengjie to Wu Er's newly opened wholesale market. It was such a large market with countless clothes hanging and piled up. It was really shocking.
There is a huge difference between seeing with your own eyes and hearing about it.
"The naming is quite superstitious. The two wholesale markets are called Xinglong No. 1 and Xinglong No. 2. This shows how much they hope for a prosperous business."
Xu Shengjie shook his head, "That's not the reason."
"Why is that?"
"The second brother Wu is called Wu Xinglong, and Xinglong Wholesale Market is named after him."
So that's it. Liang Baozhen was confused. "I thought it was taken from the meaning of prosperous business. It turns out it's a name. Look at his name. Maybe he was born to be a businessman. Wu Xinglong..."
Wu Xinglong?
Liang Baozhen thought the name sounded familiar, Cantonese, clothing wholesale, Wu Xinglong......
Could this person be the Wu Xinglong mentioned in the book, who later became the national clothing king?
Some passages from the book flashed through Liang Baozhen's mind. The national clothing king was named Wu Xinglong. His name seemed a bit rustic to later generations, but he was a very capable man and made a fortune quickly with the spring breeze of reform and opening up.
However...this man was arrested for speculation in 1981 and spent several years in jail. Even so, after he was released, he took advantage of the easing of policies and returned to his old business. Eventually, he became the national clothing king. From the 1990s to the 2000s, when it came to selling clothes, everyone knew the name Wu Xinglong.
It was because of the memory of Wu Xinglong's incident that Liang Baozhen suddenly realized that the policy would suddenly tighten next year and speculation would be severely punished. Many wealthy people with a net worth of 10,000 yuan in recent years would suffer.
Thinking of this, she looked a little unhappy. Wu Xinglong, who had entertained her family these days, would be arrested. What about her man? Would Xu Shengjie also be implicated?
At this time, Xu Shengjie had already sat opposite Shanshan, teaching her how to use the camera, where to press and how to take photos.
There was still some film left in the camera, and Xu Shengjie asked her to pose. The little red ball sat in the berth of the green train, looking at the camera with a smile.
This time, when she saw someone taking pictures in Cantonese, she would raise her hand and make a 2 with her index and middle fingers. Now, looking at her father's camera, she followed suit and made a 2 to him.
"Dad, have you taken the photo?" Shanshan's smile almost froze, "I've been 2 for a long time."
"Okay!" Xu Shengjie put down the camera and asked Shanshan to take a photo of her mother. "Dad has arranged it for you. Just click here."
"Great!" Shanshan was so happy to take a photo of her mother that she shouted to her mother in the shop across the street, "Mom, look at this."
Liang Baozhen was still thinking about the plot in the book. She was worried about Xu Shengjie and also a little worried about Wu Xinglong. When she heard the girl's cry, she looked over subconsciously.
Click.
Shanshan's little hand pressed the shutter button very hard.
A photo of Liang Baozhen frowning was taken.
Shanshan jumped off the low floor and ran to her mother in her boots.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Even though she is young, she can tell whether her mother is happy or not.
When my mother is happy, the corners of her mouth are upturned and her eyes are bright, as if there are stars in them.
But now the corners of my mother's mouth turned down, her eyes were dark, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
"Mom, I'm fine." Liang Baozhen held her daughter in her arms and felt a softness in her arms.
Shanshan stretched out her chubby little hand and touched her mother's brow, smoothing it out bit by bit.
Mother smoothed her brows and seemed happy again, and Shanshan was very satisfied.
The author has something to say:
Thanks to the little cutie who irrigated the nutrient solution. Shanshan drank tons of it. Hahaha: 1 bottle for eating a bowl of rice; 1 bottle for Zhang Zhang, have you lost weight today?; 66 bottles for just wanting to take a certificate; 1 bottle for Zhixia; 3 bottles for vvaa; 50 bottles for hirey;
