Chapter 610: Invite Someone to Take Pictures (Bonus Chapter for Moonlight)

~11 min read 2,079 words

The closer to the New Year, the more lively the village is. Children run and jump, and there is laughter everywhere. Their family is the same. What children look forward to most all year round is the New Year.

Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the wind and couldn't go out to sea, and specially rode his bicycle to the town to find the boss of the photo studio.

It's only the twelfth day of the lunar month today. It's been a few days since he came back from his mother-in-law's house, and he has been busy going out to sea. Only today did he find time.

Taking advantage of the fact that it's not yet the end of the year, the photo studio shouldn't be very busy, and the weather today is okay, hurry up and invite someone to come over to take pictures. Otherwise, in a few days, it is estimated that there will be more people taking pictures.

Last year, the first year after rebirth, he didn't take a family photo, only took a family of four. He already felt very regretful. This year, he must take a family photo.

Everything else can be said later. Only time cannot be stopped, and memory will also decline. If you don't take more pictures now, the fragments of memory will only be blurred. With photos, you can still clearly recall the past.

Taking pictures of all the beauty now, and taking them out to look at in the future, are all full of memories. This is the most precious.

Ye Yaodong pedaled the bicycle, and the cold wind blowing on his face went straight into his cuffs and collar, cold. Behind him sat Ye Chenghu, who was shameless and insisted on following.

The father and son chatted while riding, not boring.

"Isn't it good to play at home? It's so lively to play with so many people, why do you have to follow and blow the cold wind."

"I'm not cold! Must follow! It's fun to follow you."

"Say it first, I won't buy you anything to eat, don't have crooked ideas, don't think that if you follow, you can eat whatever you want, I have no money."

Ye Chenghu pursed his nose and hummed twice, "My New Year's money was taken by you, and you still say you have no money."

"What New Year's money? You don't want it, isn't it mine? That's the New Year's money my mother-in-law gave me, where is it your business?"

"No, I wanted to let grandmother give me two copies next year, so I could hand in one and keep one. I played stupid and forgot to tell grandmother."

Ye Yaodong listened and was amused, "Good boy, your brain turns quite fast? Still thinking about letting your grandmother take it back and give double next year?"

No wonder when Lin Mother took out the red envelope that day, he hurriedly rushed forward to pull her into the house.

"Who let Mom take it away every time? Ask her, there is none."

"Then ask me, there is none, this is mine."

Ye Chenghu pursed his mouth, aggrieved, it was not easy to catch his father today, and the hope was broken again. I thought his father would be a bit easier to talk to, and he could give some pocket money or buy something to eat.

Sigh~ when will he grow up?

Ye Yaodong listened and didn't care about him. Children shouldn't have so much money in their hands. Occasionally giving three or five cents is enough to make other children envious.

He is still spoiling the children. If other children dare to ask for money, parents can spray them with blood.

Ye Chenghu's depressed mood didn't last long. When the bicycle rode to the town, his eyes couldn't see enough, and he didn't care about being angry anymore.

Sitting in the back seat, his neck stretched very long, looking left and right, wishing he had a pair of eyes on both sides and the back of his head, looking but not seeing enough.

On both sides are shops, everywhere are stalls, people coming and going to the market, and shouts in the ears.

It's almost New Year, there is a market in the town every day, and the stalls on the side of the road are dazzling, everything is available, food, play, use, everything.

Although Ye Chenghu came here once last year, he still felt fresh this year. Which child doesn't like lively, and this is not something you can see every day.

"Dad, Dad~ there are candied haws for sale, and~"

"Sit honestly, otherwise if I don't watch it in a while, you get abducted, I can't find you, don't be too miserable if you break your hands and feet and dig out your eyes."

Ye Chenghu shivered. He didn't dare to move around anymore. His father had said more than once about the miserable situation after being abducted, but this time he felt he was much more serious.

"I won't move, I'll just grab your clothes and stay on the car."

"Hmm, hold my waist, so you won't be hugged away, be obedient, and I'll buy you something delicious when I go back."

Ye Chenghu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, looking very obedient, but found that his father couldn't see, so he immediately responded happily, "I knew Dad is the best."

"Don't give me ecstasy soup."

Ye Yaodong also looked left and right while riding, looking at the stalls one by one, feeling that there was nothing strange, but for people now, this is already incomparably lively.

The further into the street, the more people there were, and he couldn't keep riding on the bicycle, so he could only get off and push. Ye Chenghu still let him sit firmly in the back seat, lest he be squeezed away.

Afraid that it would be inconvenient to stop and buy things halfway back, he simply bought some fried goods, bought some candies, saw dried dates and longans for sale, and weighed two jin, all put into the basket in front of the bicycle.

Ye Chenghu's pockets were also full, and there were red dates and candies, laughing from ear to ear, still his father was willing to spend money.

He said that following his father was wise!

Yangyang hasn't eaten yet!

Ye Yaodong also wanted to see if there were any spring couplets for sale, and buy them all at once, so as not to have to take time to buy them in ten days.

Didn't expect to walk all the way, didn't see anyone selling spring couplets, don't know if it's too early, and no one has set them up yet.

But if there is none, it can only be forgotten. When the time comes, if there is time, come out to buy, if there is no time, ask the fortune teller in the next village to write one.

The father and son walked and stopped, and by the time they walked to the photo studio, the basket in front of the car was full, and even the handlebars on both sides were hung with several paper bags and small net bags, all kinds of food.

Ye Chenghu's mouth couldn't close with joy, "Dad, I will give you my New Year's money next year, not Mom!"

"Can, as long as you can convince your mother, or you can give me all the pocket money you saved."

"No pocket money, Mom doesn't give it. A few days ago, I exchanged the toothpaste skin for maltose, exchanged one, and licked it one bite at a time with Yangyang."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Made it so pitiful, and licked it one bite at a time...

He felt a bit unbearable to coax their pocket money.

"After going back, I will tell your mother to give you two cents a day, and buy something to eat after school."

"Really?" Ye Chenghu was so excited that he almost jumped off the bicycle, the car almost overturned, "Dad, are you telling the truth? Can't lie!"

"Sit honestly."

Ye Chenghu was excited, "Dad, then remember to

"Hmm, then you have to study hard. If you get a failing grade all day, your mother definitely won't agree, and it's good if she doesn't give you a whip to eat."

Ye Chenghu's face collapsed again, "Still have to study hard?"

"Hmm, definitely. Your mother is not easy to talk to, but if you do well in the exam, I will let her reward you."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong can be considered to have painstaking efforts, so as not to let the child be like him, reading for a few days and having no interest, not wanting to study.

This way, at least there is money hanging there. In order to receive pocket money, how can he not be serious?

For children who are short of food and clothing now, this is also a good method.

When he was young, his mother was too stingy. If she had also tempted him with money, he definitely wouldn't have dropped out of school early, and would have had to study for a few more years even if he bit the bullet, so as not to know a few big characters later.

In their era, there was even less to eat, and they had to work. They all worked during the day and went to school at night. Dropping out of school early was to go up the mountain and down the sea to touch fish and catch shrimp, steal fruits to open a small stove, and sacrifice to the five internal organs temple.

Don't look at the endless stream of people on the street, the front of the photo studio is still quite deserted, only two pairs of men and women are queuing there to take photos.

At this time, taking photos is generally only done at moments full of ritual sense such as marriage, graduation, parting, etc.

Ordinary families also rarely take photos, reluctant to spend this money. He thinks these two pairs should be wedding photos. There are quite a few people getting married before the New Year.

As the saying goes, whether you have money or not, marrying a wife is good for the New Year.

Ye Yaodong looked at the basket in front of the bicycle with quite a lot of things, and didn't dare to put the children and things at the door, so as not to lose both people and money, so he took Ye Chenghu and waited at the door for a while.

Seeing someone come out from inside, he immediately stopped the photo studio owner to explain his intention.

The photo studio owner also had quite an impression of him. There are not many people who can invite him to come to the door to take photos. Throughout the year, ten fingers can count them, not to mention that Ye Yaodong looks like a human being and can talk, which makes it easy for people to leave a good impression.

"Afternoon? There is a market in the morning, and there are many people coming and going, maybe there will be others who want to take photos."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. He didn't want to wait until the afternoon. His time is also precious.

"You come with me after these two people finish taking photos? Taking one or two photos here, where is there any profit? My family has many people, and I want to take many photos, and my brother's family will definitely take them too."

"It's not too late to go in the afternoon..."

"Seeing us take a family photo in our village, there will definitely be others who will invite you to take photos. During the New Year, every family is willing to spend money to take a family photo. Go early, you can earn more money. Waiting here, who knows if there are guests?"

The photo studio owner hesitated, "Then you help promote it in your village?"

"This is simple, easy to say."

With his mother there, still afraid of not being able to promote it?

When the time comes, let his mother say a few words at the Women's Federation, and those women will probably scramble to take photos.

Women love to take photos is a nature, no matter when, not to mention those who can earn money and have wages will be more willing than ordinary women.
