Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 621 Taking Photos (2)

"Second Aunt, please stop smiling with your mouth open. Can you purse your lips? If you open your mouth, your teeth will be exposed, and it won't look good in photos."

"Yes, yes, yes, Second Uncle, please move closer to Second Aunt."

"You two are a couple, so far away from each other, do you want me to stuff Guangfu into your pocket?"

"Yes, yes, that's good. Keep it up."

"Crack!"

"Okay! Next one!"

He Lai used some words to successfully take pictures of Liu Haizhong and his wife.

"Xiao Laizi, is that all?" Liu Haizhong came over and asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's all. It's not like you haven't taken photos in the factory before, Uncle."

He Lai smiled.

"The ones in the factory are different. The camera there is big! It also has a light in its hand, and it's quite scary when taking pictures. Yours is so small, can you take a picture like that?"

Liu Haizhong gestured to the camera in a steel rolling mill and said.

"Uncle, don't worry, just let Guangtian pay for the photos when the time comes."

He Lai smiled.

"Isn't it free? Why do you want money? Xiao Laizi, it's not that Second Auntie can't afford it, I'm just asking."

The second aunt said a little embarrassedly.

"Second Aunt, I take photos for free, and the negatives of the films are also free. So I have to take the negatives to the photo studio to have the photos developed. You can't ask me to pay for developing the photos for you, right?"

He Lai explained that the price of film these days was actually not low, one roll cost four dollars and could take thirty-six photos.

"How much does that photo cost?" the second aunt continued to ask.

People in the courtyard also looked at He Lai. After all, everyone was very concerned about this matter.

"Brother Damao, you tell Auntie how much it costs. I have never been to a photo studio, so I don't know the exact price."

He Lai said awkwardly.

After all, Xu Damao is a movie projectionist, so he must know a lot about this.

"Second Aunt, it depends on the size of the photo. Generally, a six-inch photo is the size of a palm. If you want to develop it, a black-and-white photo will cost 20 cents, and a color photo will cost 40 cents.

Also, the bigger the photo, the more expensive it is.”

Xu Damao explained.

"Yes, yes, yes. When my father-in-law died, someone from the photo studio came to take a picture for 1.5 yuan. It was in black and white, but it was huge, almost life-size."

One of the residents spoke up.

Many residents nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement. After all, many of them had taken photos before and had some understanding of the prices of photos.

"Okay, Xiao Laizi, make me a colorful, life-size one, like the ones in the photo studio, with a frame, festive."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said.

"Master, why do you need such a big one? We are an old couple!" The second aunt quickly stopped them.

"Oh, it's just a photo. Can't I afford to take it with my high salary? Just forget about it."

Liu Haizhong's voice became louder, and the second aunt fell silent instantly, but she was still happy in her heart.

"Okay, no problem, I'll take care of it! If anyone else wants to take photos, let me make it clear that you have to pay for the photos yourself! If you think it's too expensive, I can give you the negatives and you can go to the photo studio to develop the photos yourself."

He Lai said.

"Xiao Laizi, take a few pictures for Uncle Yi's family." Yi Zhonghai walked over with Aunt Yi, holding Yi Xiaobao.

"Okay, how do I do it?"

"One for the whole family, one for the couple, and one for Xiaobao alone."

"Okay, then you guys sit down."

Yi Zhonghai is much more generous. After all, he has experienced a lot, so he doesn't care much about money and attaches great importance to family.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai finished taking three photos.

Next, every household came up to take pictures. After all, He Lai said that taking pictures was free, and the negatives could be given to them for free. Even if they didn't take the photos to be developed, they could still vaguely see their portraits on the negatives.

"Little Lai, can you take some photos for Aunt Jia and her family?"

Jia Zhang asked in a flattering manner.

"Of course you can. Come on, let me take a family photo for you first."

"Can that be moved to my doorstep to take the photo?" Jia Zhang asked again.

Jia Zhang was smart enough to want to include her own house in the picture.

"Okay, let's go."

When we arrived at the door of the Jia family, Jia Dongxu and Zhang Guihua had already changed into new clothes and were waiting there.

It has to be said that Jia Dongxu does look good, he is still very handsome even in his thirties.

In the family photo, Banggeng was squatting at the front, Jia Zhang was sitting on a bench, Zhang Guihua and Jia Dongxu were standing behind Jia Zhang, and Zhang Guihua was next to Jia Dongxu, standing on his left, trying her best to make Jia Dongxu look like he was not disabled.

The whole family is smiling and very harmonious.

……

Soon after, they took pictures of every household one by one, even Yan Fugui's family, where He Lai helped take two pictures, but there was no point in taking too many pictures.

Next it was time for Rain to take photos of a group of children.

"Xiao Laizi, why hasn't your father come back yet? Can we still shoot?" Wu Juan said with a serious face.

"Ah, Wen'er, go next door and see if Dad is at my father-in-law's place."

He Lai instructed Wen'er.

"Wen'er, you are not allowed to go! Come here, go by yourself!" Wu Juan pulled Wen'er over and walked towards the rain.

"Uh..." He Lai was speechless.

"Come on, uncle, I'll go!" Xiao Yangzi shouted and ran out.

……

After a while, He Daqing and He Zhan came over.

"Dad, can you please stop going to my father-in-law's house? Mom is getting angry if you keep doing this! You should at least comfort Mom first before going!"

He Lai was speechless, wondering how these two grown men could drink together every day.

"Uh... okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time." He Zhan said awkwardly.

"Go ahead and take some photos with Mom. If you can't coax her, you can handle it yourself."

He Lai continued.

He Zhan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over to Wu Juan and start saying nice things.

"My dear father-in-law, please move a little and take a family photo. You see, your family is now wealthy, with seven grandchildren."

"Okay, okay, I'll take a few pictures too." He Daqing walked over with a smile.

With the sound of click, click, photos were taken one after another.

In the end, He Zhan and Wu Juan took several photos at He Lai's strong request.

In order to demonstrate, He Lai even pulled Yu Shui over to take pictures, including a princess hug, carrying his wife on his back, making love gestures, and showing all kinds of affection!

As a result, Wu Juan and He Zhan were not interested, but Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were. They pulled their wives to take pictures in He Lai's style.

In the end, He Lai even encouraged Sha Zhu to give Xu Damao a princess hug so that he could help take the picture.

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He walked casually to Xu Damao and took advantage of him not paying attention to give him a princess hug.

Xu Damao didn't react at all, but directly put his arms around Sha Zhu's neck, and immediately an ambiguous atmosphere emerged.

"Brother Damao, look over here!"

"Ah?" Xu Damao turned his head in panic.

"Crack! Click!"

This moment was recorded, it was beautiful!

Hahaha, Shazhu carries Xu Damao in his arms like a princess, it’s funny just thinking about it.

When Sha Zhu saw that He Lai had finished filming, he simply pushed Xu Damao aside and quickly ran over to take a look.

"How's it going? Did you get the photo?"

"That's a must. I'm the little prince of photography, and I'm famous for my speed in taking photos!"

"Haha, when you develop it, remember to give me a copy."

"no problem!"

……

"Hey, He Yuzhu, Xiao Laizi, you two are going too far! Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Xu Damao pointed his index finger at He Lai and Sha Zhu and said indignantly.

"Brother Damao, I brought back a lot of southern fruits yesterday. I'll give you a few kilograms."

"I want that durian, two!"

"OK, no problem!"
