As soon as the photographer straightened up after taking the picture, several children couldn't wait to run forward to see it.
"can I see?"
"Can I see it?"
“What will our film look like?”
"Show us..."
"What does it look like? Let me see... let me see..."
"Let me see... Let me see first..."
"Let me take a look first...you go away..."
The photographer was afraid that they would crowd and jostle and damage the camera, so he quickly put it away and explained with a smile.
"This photo hasn't been developed yet, so you can't see it. When it's developed, I'll give it to you along with the negatives."
"When will it be washed out?"
"You have to wait until all the film inside is used up before you can take it out to develop it. Yours should be quick today since so many people want to take pictures. I guess you can probably get it developed as soon as you take it back."
Ye Yaodong also called the children back, "Don't make trouble, we still have to continue taking pictures to make a business. Once the photos are developed and the negatives are returned, everyone will be able to see them."
Father Ye also smiled and asked, "How many days will it take to get it?"
"You guys are going to be fast. If the film runs out today, we should be able to get it in three or four days."
He said it more conservatively, lest if it wasn't washed out by the time limit, people would make a wasted trip and get scolded.
"That's pretty fast. I heard it took ten days or half a month before."
"Haha, that's because the film hasn't been used up yet, so it takes so long. You have to use up all the film before you can take it out and develop it."
Mrs. Ye said impatiently, "Now that Adong's family has finished filming, is it our turn to film first? After our family finishes filming, it will be our turn..."
"oops!"
Ye Chenghai screamed in surprise, which made his mother a little dissatisfied. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you so scared all of a sudden?"
"No, mother, I just remembered that we didn't call her little aunt and left her behind."
"Your sister-in-law is married now. If she wants to take pictures, she has to do it at home."
"Ah? Now that my aunt is married, she's no longer our family, right?"
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water..."
Ye Yaodong didn't like what he heard. How could a daughter be regarded as spilled water? He also had a daughter.
But I did forget about my younger sister, that was a lack of consideration.
"Yeah, we forgot about Huimei and forgot to invite him and Aguang to take pictures together."
Father Ye nodded and was about to say something, but Mother Ye spoke first.
"What's the matter? If there's another photo shoot in two years, we can just invite them over. If they want to take photos, we'll invite people to take photos later, it's the same. We just took a group photo, wouldn't it be a waste of money to take another one? Forget it since we've already taken it, just remember it next time. It's a waste of time to go back and forth and ask them to take photos, and they're waiting to take photos too."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, there was a long time to live, so he could just ask someone to take a few photos every one or two or three years depending on the situation.
The family portrait just now has already been taken, so forget it. It will take more time to call them over to pose for it again now. Anyway, it’s not like we won’t take it in the future.
"Then mom, do you and dad want to take a photo together? You were the only one sitting in front of the sewing machine in the photo, and you two didn't take a photo together."
Mother Ye had already raised her foot to step into the house, but she took it back and said happily, "Take another photo
After saying that, she hesitated again, "That would cost an extra dollar..."
"Take another photo. I'll pay for it. You and my dad can take one together!"
"Okay, let's take another picture. This time I'm going to take it while riding a bicycle."
Ye Yaodong: “…”
The eldest son really inherited the disease from the previous generation!
Ye's mother had a good idea, but the 28-inch bicycle was a little high, and she was a little short with short legs, so it was a little difficult for her to climb up. Even with Ye's father helping her to lean on the bicycle, she still had a hard time climbing up.
"Oh, forget it, forget it, you ride it... Oh, no, you don't seem to be that tall? Forget it, don't ride it, just stand by and hold on."
Father Ye: “…”
Feeling hurt.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, what you said really hurts my father's heart."
Ye's mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's so heartbreaking? To be honest, he's not much taller than me. You'd better not bother. I won't help him."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
When Ye's father and Ye's mother stand together, they are indeed about the same height, at most four or five centimeters taller, only about 1.6 meters tall, and Ye's mother is only about 1.55 meters tall.
Father Ye was very upset. He had just helped her for a long time. Although he had not intended to ride on the bicycle to take pictures, his wife did not even think about helping him.
"I'm not planning on riding it, do you think I'm you? If you want to mess around, just stand there and take a picture. You're the only one who's fussy. Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and stand still. There are so many people waiting to take pictures."
Mother Ye gave him a look, then stood at the front of the bicycle, holding the bicycle with her hands and smiling. When she saw Father Ye approaching, she said angrily, "Don't get close to me!"
Father Ye: “…”
He wasn't even angry yet, but she was? She was already an old lady, but she still had such a bad temper!
Ye Yaodong was standing aside, almost being laughed to death by his parents. They were old but still so childish.
"Alright, just stand together and take a picture. If you have anything to say to my dad, just go home and say it slowly."
Mother Ye rolled her eyes at Father Ye and then stopped talking.
The two of them smiled at each other and took a photo. Then Ye's mother snorted and stood aside.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Okay, we've finished taking photos. No... Dong, you haven't taken a single photo yet, why don't you take one too?"
"Forget it? It would be nice to have a photo together."
He doesn't really like taking photos, so just having a group photo is enough.
The old lady was the first to object, "How can that be? We have all taken a photo alone, so why don't you take one too?"
Father Ye said in a low voice, "I didn't take a photo alone..."
"Can it be the same? Dongzi is so handsome, it's a good opportunity to take a picture of him. I can take it out and look at it when I'm old, and I can also show my descendants how handsome he was when he was young."
Critical hit!
Wife, I just hit you hard...
What did his mother mean by this? Ye's father was even more upset. He had done nothing, but he was not allowed to speak
Ye Yaodong was somewhat proud of his handsome looks. He relied on this face to make a living in his previous life, so it would be a pity if he didn't take a photo of it.
He touched his face and said, "I am indeed very handsome. It turns out that people from 80 to 8 years old like me~"
Ye's mother gave him a look of disdain, "Forget it, who likes you? You are being disliked every day. If you want to take pictures, do it quickly. If you don't want to take pictures, let them go to your eldest brother's and second brother's houses to take pictures."
"Even an 80-year-old lady likes me, and even my 60-, 7-, or 8-year-old niece likes me. What's wrong with what I said? You just find fault with people every day! Why do you have so many opinions?"
These words touched Ye's father's heart, and he kept nodding his head.
The old lady also smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, I like Dongzi the most..."
"I like Uncle San, too..." several nieces said in unison.
Ye Chenghai and the others did not fall behind and expressed their loyalty together, "We like Uncle San too~"
"I like Dad, too~" Ye Chenghu also shouted loudly in support.
Ye Chengyang also ran over and hugged his thighs, "I love Dad the most..."
Ye Yaodong was extremely proud and confident. He smiled and raised his eyebrows at his mother, as if to say, "Just look~"
"You bribe the old and buy off the young all day long. Doesn't that mean I like you?"
After saying this in a bad mood, Ye's mother asked Lin Xiuqing if the dishes were ready. If not, she would let her cook, and then went into the house.
Everyone in the room was used to it. After all, Ye's mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and everyone was used to it.
Everyone present, old and young, looked at Ye Yaodong happily. The atmosphere was very harmonious and they were waiting for him to take a photo as well.
Ye Yaodong didn't want to delay the photographer's work. After all, it was just a dollar more to take a personal photo, so he nodded directly.
"Okay, then take a picture of me too. Just stand at the front door and include my house in the picture."
He simply took off his heavy cotton jacket, put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood at the door, and looked at the camera with a bright smile on his face. He looked sunny and casual. No one could tell that he was already the father of three children.
After a "click", they finished filming.
Ye Yaodong also asked his father if he wanted to take a separate photo as well.
Father Ye waved his hands, "No need, why take pictures? We've already taken pictures with you and your mother. If we really want to take pictures, we should stand at the door of the old house. Forget it, let's talk about it later, in a few years. Let the master take pictures of your eldest brother and second brother first."
But finally it's their turn!
Mrs. Ye was very happy and quickly invited the guests to her door. Lin Xiuqing also hurried back to the house to get the money.
The neighbors and children who were watching the fun all rushed to the next door, and many people from the village also came to watch the fun.
No one from their village had come to take photos yet, but everyone was very excited. After telling each other, they came in groups to take a look and watch the fun, and asked the people present about the prices.
Some people haven't taken a photo in several years, and some may have never taken one in their entire lives. The villagers are very interested. It only costs one dollar to take a photo. It's the New Year, so everyone will spend more money.
