At night, the two went to bed early and woke up at dawn the next day.
Wash up, eat, set off, take the bus and head straight to the city center.
After asking around, I successfully found a photo studio.
Nowadays, all photo studios are state-owned, and the master was a little hesitant when he heard the two people's request.
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that it's very expensive to take photos outside. Are you sure?"
Qin Jianye's heart skipped a beat, wondering how expensive it could be. It couldn't be hundreds of dollars, right? He could even buy a camera with that much!
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the master bit his lip and said, "Ten dollars for half a day, fifteen dollars for a whole day, not including the cost of developing the photos."
Qin Jianye: “…” That’s it?
It's a bit pricey, but not unacceptable. They just bring back something for a few hundred bucks on their business trips, so they don't need money.
Master Hu nodded and said, "Okay, take some good pictures for us, and when they're developed, help me send them to the Yang County Transport Team."
The master breathed a sigh of relief and wrote down the two people's addresses. He thought that people with jobs were really generous and much easier to talk to than those who came to visit their relatives.
He immediately beamed and brought the best equipment in the store. He even asked the two if they wanted props. After receiving a negative answer, the three of them headed straight for Tiananmen Square.
This master is really an expert in Beijing, and Qin Jianye feels that it was worth hiring him.
Not only did they take photos of the two of them at the most suitable location and angle, they also introduced the attractions and history of the capital as they walked.
It is equivalent to them spending one price to enjoy two services.
It was already noon when we came out of the Forbidden City.
Qin Jianye was afraid that his master would be tired, so he took him to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal, which made him very happy.
Where should we go this afternoon? It’s definitely too late to go to the Great Wall. Qin Jianye thought for a moment and said, “How about we go to the school?”
"What, school?" Master Hu didn't understand.
Qin Jianye explained: "My daughter is in the second year of junior high school, and she really wants to go to school in Beijing. I took some photos to show her so that she can have more motivation to work hard."
Master Hu gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, then let's go to school. It's a pity that my useless son couldn't even get into high school, so he can only...
Well, no more, no more."
Qin Jianye smiled and reassured him, "Comrade Xiao Hu is quite good too. He cleaned our transport team's vehicles so well. It shows that everyone has their specialties. He's a good kid."
Master Hu's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together and asked earnestly, "Look, Old Qin, Xiaoliang and Yueyue are only six years apart. How about we get married?"
Qin Jianye was terrified, but remained calm on the surface: "Ha, Brother Hu, you're joking. My family, Yueyue, is looking for a son-in-law. Are you willing to let Xiaoliang live with me as a son?"
When Master Hu heard this for the first time, he was torn. If it were anyone else, he would definitely refuse without even thinking about it.
But Qin Jianye is different. After being partners for so long, I can feel his excellence in dealing with people. Moreover, it is obvious that he has a rich family background.
What's more, it is related to County Magistrate Li.
But the key point is, we only have two sons. It's not like we can't afford to support them. If we let them become sons-in-law, won't the neighbors laugh at us?
Qin Jianye continued to add: "Besides, Yueyue is still young. I plan to consider this matter after she is twenty."
This one sentence completely dispelled Master Hu's idea.
He gave a thumbs up, not sure whether he was genuinely praising or thought Qin Jianye's idea was unreliable. In short, there was only one word - awesome!
The photographer wiped his mouth and interrupted, "The school is full of outstanding young people from all corners of the country. Comrade Qin, don't worry. Let the girl study hard. Maybe we can find you a son-in-law who is suitable in all aspects."
Qin Jianye laughed heartily and clinked his teacup with the other party's: "Thank you for your good wishes."
After lunch, I sat in a state-owned restaurant for a while and then went to Kyoto University.
Qin Jianye compared the scene before him with the photos and videos of the school in his mind, and found that the academic atmosphere of the top university remained consistent.
Looking at the figures under the red walls and gray tiles, Qin Jianye felt vitality, vigor, strength, and rigor.
The comparable Huaqing University gave him the same feeling.
After the two came out, Master Hu sighed, "If my niece can really pass the exam, I, as her uncle, will definitely send her here to register in person."
Qin Jianye smiled but didn't say anything. He thought that if that day ever came, it would definitely be him, the old father, who would take the stage, and he wouldn't let anyone else get there first.
It was already dark when we left the school. The three of us walked back together. Master Hu felt a little regretful that there were still many places he hadn't visited.
The photographer consoled them: "Beijing is a big city, and things change every day. It's snowing these past two days, so it's really inconvenient to travel."
Come back next time in spring or autumn, the scenery will be different. Ask me to take photos then and I’ll give you two a discount.”
Qin Jianye nodded: "Thank you, Master."
Then I paid for developing the photos and waited for the bus on the roadside with Master Hu.
Soon the car arrived, packed with people. The two of them squeezed in and were tossed around like pies.
Fortunately, the two men were experienced. One put the money in the outer pocket of his underwear, and the other put the valuables in a storage space, so nothing happened.
But some unlucky people are in a terrible situation. Before they even reach their destination, they find that their pockets have been slashed by a knife. They cry and wail, feeling doubly sad.
Qin Jianye just glanced at it and didn't meddle in it.
However, the young man who had been teasing her in the western restaurant a few days ago helped the old lady and said something, but it was of no use.
After returning to the machinery factory and saying hello to Comrade He, I learned that cars from other places were arriving in Beijing one after another, supplying the factory with raw materials and spare parts that were in short supply.
"If Comrade Qin hadn't acted decisively, this time, we would have been in real trouble!"
Qin Jianye smiled and said, "It's what I should do. I don't deserve such praise from Comrade He."
After a few words, Qin Jianye and Master Hu said goodbye.
Comrade He's eyes widened in shock. "So soon? I was originally planning to take you two to the capital once I'm done with this."
Qin Jianye smiled brightly: "We've already turned around. We knew you were busy, so we didn't bother you. We still have work to do in Yang County. We have to go back quickly while the weather is good."
"Okay, then I won't keep you two here. Be careful on the road."
Qin Jianye said "hmm", waved his hand, and went back to the guesthouse with Master Hu.
I lay in bed and rested early, not knowing that my home had been robbed.
The story goes back to three days ago. Qin Siyue had just finished school and was returning to Qingshan Brigade with her sisters and brothers when she saw a green jeep approaching from a distance. She couldn't help but stop to watch out of curiosity.
The car stopped right in front of them, the door opened, and two familiar figures stepped out. They were Wei Xu and Wang Zhiqiang.
Qin Siyue looked up and found that the young man he hadn't seen for half a year had grown taller and darker.
His face was no longer as childish as before, but had become more calm as if he had been baptized by the years.
There was a hint of the demeanor of a superior that he had when he first met Lu Chengxuan.
