Chapter 612

As soon as the photographer finished taking the photo and straightened his body, all the children couldn't wait to run forward to see.

"Can we see?"

"Can we take a look?"

"What do we look like in the photo?"

"Let us see..."

"What's it like? Let me see... let me see..."

"Let me see... I'll look first..."

"I'll look first... you move away..."

The photographer was afraid they would crowd around and break the camera, so he hurriedly put it away and explained with a smile.

"The photos haven't been developed yet, so you can't see them. When they are developed, I'll give you the negatives too."

"Then when will they be developed?"

"That depends on when the film inside is all used up. You guys today should be quick; so many people want to take photos, I reckon I can develop them as soon as I take them back."

Ye Yaodong also called the children to stop, "Don't mess around. The man still has to continue taking photos to do business. When the photos are developed and the negatives are brought back, everyone will be able to see them."

Ye Fu also smiled, "About how many days will it take to get them?"

"Yours should be quick. If the film is used up today, I reckon you can get them in three or four days."

He was being a bit conservative, so he wouldn't be scolded for making people waste a trip if they weren't ready by the time he said.

"That's quite fast. I heard before it always took ten days or half a month."

"Haha, that's because the film wasn't used up, so it took that long. You have to use up the film before you can take it off to develop."

Ye Dasao couldn't wait, "Then now that Adong's family is done, is it our family's turn to take them first? After our family is done, then it's..."

"Oh my!"

Ye Chenghai suddenly exclaimed, which made his mother a bit dissatisfied, frowning, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly acting all startled?"

"It's not that, Mom. I just remembered we didn't call Little Aunt. We left Little Aunt out."

"Your Little Aunt is already married off. If she wants to take photos, she has to take them at her own house."

"Ah? Since Little Aunt is married off, is she no longer part of our family?"

"A married-off daughter is like spilled water..."

Ye Yaodong didn't like hearing that. How is a daughter like spilled water? He had a daughter too.

But they really had forgotten about his younger sister; it was a momentary lapse in consideration.

"That's right, we forgot about Huimei. We forgot to call her and A Guang over to take photos together."

Ye Fu nodded, wanting to say something, but Ye Mu spoke up first.

"What does it matter? If there's another chance to take photos in two years, just call them over then. If they want to take photos at their house, they'll invite someone over to take them later, it's the same thing. We just finished the big group portrait, wouldn't it be a waste of money to take another one? Since it's done, it's done. Just remember next time. Going to call them now would be a round trip, wasting time, and the man is waiting to take photos."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt it made sense. Anyway, there's plenty of time; in the future, every year or two or three, depending on the situation, just invite someone over to take a few.

The family portrait had already been taken, so let it be. Calling them over now to pose would take even more time. Anyway, it's not like they won't take photos in the future.

"Then Mom, do you and Dad want to take a photo together? Earlier, only you sat in front of the sewing machine and took one; you two didn't take a group photo."

Ye Mu had already lifted her foot, preparing to step into the house, but she pulled it back and said happily, "Take another one?"

After saying that, she hesitated again, "That would cost another yuan..."

"Take another one. I'll pay for it. You and Dad take one together!"

"Alright, then take another one. This time I want to take it while riding the bicycle."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

The eldest son really inherited it from the previous generation!

Ye Mu had a great idea, but unfortunately, the 28-inch bicycle was a bit high, and she was a bit short, and her legs were too short, so it was a bit hard to climb up. Even though Ye Fu tilted the bicycle to help her, she still struggled quite a bit to climb up.

"Oh, forget it, forget it. You come ride it... wait, no, you don't seem to be very tall either? Forget it, neither of you ride it. Just stand on the side and hold it."

Ye Fu: "..."

He felt he had been hurt.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, what you said really stabbed my dad's heart."

Ye Mu rolled her eyes at him, "What stabbing heart? I'm telling the truth. He's not much taller than me. Better not struggle. I'm not helping him hold it."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but smile as she listened.

Ye Fu and Ye Mu were indeed about the same height when standing together, at most a difference of four or five centimeters. They were only about 1.6 meters tall, and Ye Mu was only about 1.55 meters.

Ye Fu felt very stifled. He had helped her hold it for a long time just now, even though he hadn't thought about riding the bicycle to take a photo, but his own wife hadn't even thought about helping him hold it.

"I didn't plan to ride it anyway. Do you think I'm you? Always fussing about nothing. Just stand there and take one. You're the one making a fuss. What are you glaring at? Hurry up and stand still. So many people are waiting to take photos."

Ye Mu glared at him, stood at the front of the bicycle on her own, and smiled while holding the bicycle. Seeing Ye Fu come over, she said crossly, "Don't lean on me!"

Ye Fu: "..."

He hadn't even gotten angry yet, and she was the one who got angry first? She was an old woman, and her temper was still so big!

Ye Yaodong was on the side, almost laughing to death at his parents. They were old, yet still so childish.

"Alright, hurry up and stand together to take one. Whatever you want to scold Dad about, scold him slowly when you get home."

Ye Mu rolled her eyes at Ye Fu and stopped talking.

The two of them smiled while standing close together. After taking one, Ye Mu snorted and stood to the side.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Alright, our family is done. Wait... Adong, you haven't taken an individual one yet. You should take an individual one too."

"Forget it, having a group photo is enough."

He didn't really like taking photos; anyway, having a group photo was enough.

The old lady was the first to speak up and refute, "How can that be? We all took an individual one, you should take an individual one too."

Ye Fu muttered a sentence on the side, "I didn't take an individual one either..."

"Can it be the same? Dongzi looks so handsome; it's just right to take a photo. When he's old, he can take it out and look at it, and he can show his descendants how good he looked when he was young."

Critical hit!

Wife, you already gave a heavy blow just now...

What did his mother mean by that? Ye Fu felt even more stifled. He clearly hadn't done anything, and now he wasn't even allowed to speak?

Ye Yaodong was also quite proud of his handsome appearance. In his previous life, he had relied on this face to live off others; it would be a pity not to take a photo.

He touched his face, "It really is quite handsome. Turns out everyone from 80-year-olds down to 8-year-olds likes me~"

Ye Mu looked at him with disdain, "Forget it, who likes you? You're annoying every single day. If you want to take it, take it quickly. If not, let the man go to your eldest brother's and second brother's houses to take them."

"The 80-year-old lady likes me, and the 6-7-8-year-old nieces like me. Where did I say it wrong? You look at people with displeasure every single day! Where do you get so many opinions?"

This hit the nail on the head for Ye Fu, and he kept nodding on the side.

The old lady also smiled and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, I like Dongzi the most..."

"I like Third Uncle too..." the nieces said in unison.

Ye Chenghai and the others didn't fall behind and expressed their loyalty together, "We like Third Uncle too~"

"I like Dad too~" Ye Chenghu also shouted loudly to show his support.

Ye Chengyang also ran over and hugged his thigh, "I like Dad the most..."

Ye Yaodong was incredibly proud, full of confidence, and beamed as he raised an eyebrow at his mother, as if saying, "See~"

"You spend all day bribing the old and buying off the young, isn't that why they like you?"

After Ye Mu said that crossly, she asked Lin Xiuqing if the food was cooked. If not, she would come to cook it, and then she went into the house.

Everyone in the house was used to it; anyway, Ye Mu 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, just waiting for him to take one too.

Ye Yaodong didn't want to delay the photographer's business. Anyway, it was just spending another yuan to take an individual photo, so he nodded directly.

"Alright, then take one for me too. Just stand at the front gate and include my house in the photo."

He simply took off his heavy cotton-padded jacket, put his hands in his pants pockets, stood at the doorway, and looked at the camera with a bright, sunny, and casual smile. Where could you tell he was already a father of three?

After a "click," his family was done.

Ye Yaodong took the opportunity to ask his father if he wanted to take an individual one too.

Ye Fu waved his hand, "No need, what's there to take? It's enough that I already took one with your mother. If I really want to take one, I should take it at the door of the old house. Forget it, talk about it later, take it in a few years. Let the master take them for your eldest brother and second brother first."

It was finally their turn!

Ye Dasao was happy and hurriedly invited the man to her own doorway, and Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly returned to the house to get the money.

The neighbors and children who were watching the fun all rushed toward the house next door, and people from the village also came one after another to watch the fun.

No one had ever come to their village to take photos before, and everyone was very tempted. After word spread, they came in groups to take a look, watch the fun, and one after another inquired about the price from those present.

They hadn't taken a photo in years, and some might have never taken one in their lives. The villagers were very moved; it only cost a yuan to take one, and with the New Year approaching, everyone had a bit more money to spend.
