Chenchen hurriedly pulled her sister over. The two little ones were not shy at all. They smiled when taking pictures and even made a scissors hand gesture.
"Wow, these two kids are pretty brave, they even know how to pose."
The photographer rarely saw a child being so natural when taking photos, so he quickly pressed the shutter and praised: "Not bad, it looks very photogenic."
The photographer felt that the two children looked bad in the photo, so he said to Han Zhenyu, "Comrade, why don't you let your children take another photo together? Let them stand back to back with their hands crossed. This will definitely turn out well."
"Okay, go ahead."
Han Zhenyu knew that taking photos was not cheap, but he could afford it, so he thought of taking a few more photos of his two children so that they would have memories when they grow up.
We took two group photos and each of us took a single photo.
"Comrade, how many photos do you want to develop?" asked the photographer.
Han Zhenyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's print three copies of the group photos and two copies of the individual photos."
He took the money out of his pocket and asked, "Comrade, how much is the total?"
"One dollar a piece, ten in total, ten dollars."
Han Zhenyu's hand holding the money paused. He thought it would be five or six yuan at most, but he didn't expect it to be ten yuan.
He handed a ten-dollar bill to the photographer and said, "Comrade, I'll come and get it the day after tomorrow afternoon, right?"
"Yes." The photographer gave him a receipt, and Han Zhenyu took it. He glanced at the kid holding his legs, then took the two of them by the collar and carried them out.
I sighed in my heart, raising children is really a very expensive thing. If my wife didn't have a treasure space, it would cost a lot every month just to find ways to feed them.
Thinking that his wife was pregnant, Han Zhenyu felt even more stressed.
He had originally planned to go to the purchasing director after the New Year to discuss the transportation of goods.
Now it seems that it is better to do it before the New Year. By making more trips, he can earn more money and the family can be more well-off.
After leaving the photo studio, Han Zhenyu went to the supply and marketing cooperative again, bought all the things his wife asked him to do, and then took his uncle Du and the two children to the state-owned restaurant.
"Zhenyu, the food here is so expensive, let's go home and eat. You brought so much wild boar meat last time and asked your aunt to make dumplings." Uncle Du was reluctant to eat in the restaurant and insisted on going back.
"Uncle, the two children are hungry, and it's cold. They need something hot to warm themselves up. It doesn't cost much." Han Zhenyu said, and walked to the food window.
He was afraid that his uncle would nag him, so he didn't order any dishes but just asked for a few bowls of egg noodles.
After they finished eating, Han Zhenyu did not go back to Dujiatun with them. Uncle Du took the two children away, and he sledded back home.
Su Xieqiu was frying steak. Seeing him come back, he took out another piece of steak and some mushrooms from the space and fried them on the iron plate of the stove.
Han Zhenyu hung his cotton coat and hat on the hanger, then took out the receipt from his pocket and gave it to her.
Su Xieqiu took it and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately, "Ten dollars? I only took a few photos, why does it cost so much?"
Han Zhenyu also felt a little distressed, and smiled and shook his head, "I took two group photos and two individual photos. I didn't know it was so expensive."
"I've heard before that photographers of this era make a lot of money, but I didn't expect it to be this outrageous."
Su Xieqiu flipped the steak on the iron plate and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She looked at Han Zhenyu excitedly.
"What do you think about opening a photo studio in Beijing after we get into college?"
Han Zhenyu saw that she was thinking so far ahead and said with a smile: "Wife, this is a good idea, but isn't it too early to think about it now?"
"Not too early. During those years in college, although the school gave me subsidies, what could I do with that little money? I still have to raise a child in the future, so I have to start a few side jobs first and then make a big splash after graduation."
Su Xieqiu served the steak and shiitake mushrooms, sprinkled some pepper on them, and said to him, "You don't have to worry about these things. Just focus on your work. I'll make a plan first. Even if I don't do this job in the future, there won't be any loss."
Han Zhenyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
Su Xieqiu glanced at him with a smile and put the plate of steak on the table. "Eat it. You want it medium rare. Then try the seafood mushroom soup I made."
Han Zhenyu had eaten a bowl of noodles in the city, and now his wife stuffed him with a large piece of steak and two large bowls of seafood and mushroom soup. His stomach was so bloated that he could hardly sit down.
"Wife, why is this seafood mushroom soup so delicious? How did you make it?" he asked while rubbing his belly.
"It's very simple. If you like to drink it, I'll make it tomorrow and you can watch and learn from it."
Su Xieqiu also ate too much today. She hadn't had mushroom soup for a long time, so she ate half a bowl more today.
"Okay, I learned how to make it for you."
Han Zhenyu took her for a walk around the house for a while, and when they had almost digested the food, the couple went to take a nap.
Because of the cold weather, the two of them rarely went out, and their days were simple and warm.
………
Han Zhenyu took a three-day break and then went back to work. He went to work in the morning and came back in the evening. Before he knew it, it was the day for him to go on a business trip.
Since there was only one car, Han Zhenyu planned to take Yan Daqiang with him. He had some personal matters to attend to, so it would be inconvenient to take someone else with him.
The night before, Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu prepared the things they needed to bring.
The next morning, Yan Daqiang came to the Sanhua Brigade first. The two of them tied those things to the sled and slid to the factory.
Han Zhenyu and Yan Daqiang first delivered the goods to the destination, and on their way back they took a short detour and went to Wuhua County Farm.
When they arrived at the place, the sun had already set and the sky was gradually getting dark.
Chen Yuanming had just returned home from get off work when he heard the guard at the gate say that Han Zhenyu was looking for him.
He rode his bike to the door without even having time to change his clothes.
Han Zhenyu saw him, jumped out of the car with a smile, and called out affectionately: "Brother, I'm here."
Chen Yuanming slapped his thigh in surprise, "Oh, brother, it's really you, I thought they made a mistake."
Han Zhenyu said with a smile: "I passed by here on a business trip, and I thought that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I came to see you and your sister-in-law, as well as your nephews and nieces."
Chen Yuanming turned the car around, said hello to the gate guard, and said to Han Zhenyu and Yan Daqiang with a smile: "Drive the car in and go home."
The guard opened the gate and Han Zhenyu drove straight in.
He parked his car in front of Chen Yuanming's house and took out the things he brought for him.
Chen Yuanming glared at him when he saw him bringing such a big bag again, "You came just fine, why are you bringing something again?"
Han Zhenyu quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother, I didn't take this. Your sister-in-law prepared it for your nephews and nieces. I don't know what's in it. You can't blame me."
Chen Yuanming shook his head helplessly, "Sister-in-law is too polite. Last time you brought so many things for the child, and this time it's a big bag again. Your sister-in-law and I are very embarrassed."
He pushed open the door and called out to his wife, "Yingzi, Yingzi, come out quickly, Brother Zhenyu is here."
