Chapter 159 The first camera in the village (3000 words)
Zhou Chenglei was buckling his belt when he noticed Jiang Xia looking at him and looked up at her, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia turned around and motioned for him to look at her pants.
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
"Is your period coming?"
Jiang Xia looked at him and nodded: "Well, I'm not pregnant."
"Then I'll ask for it in a few years." Zhou Chenglei didn't care much. Although he was looking forward to their children, he also knew whether they had children was about fate.
He went to the drawer and got her a piece of sanitary napkin. Fearing that she would lose it, he hugged her and kissed her forehead: "No rush, we are still young. We will ask for it in a few years."
Jiang Xia: "I am young, but you..."
Zhou Chenglei grabbed her waist and pressed her into his arms: "I'm young too!"
Jiang Xia raised her head in his arms and looked at him with a smile without saying anything.
You are already an old man, how dare you say that you are young?
Zhou Chenglei directly picked her up and kissed her until she was breathless, proving with his strength that he was not only young and strong, but also young and vigorous!
So that day, we went to sea a full hour and a half late. In the extra half hour, Zhou Chenglei boiled brown sugar water for Jiang Xia and washed the dirty clothes.
Jiang Xia, who had weak legs and sore hands, vowed never to say he was old again.
Absolutely young, strong and full of energy!
In the next two days, Jiang Xia worked as a translator at home, familiarizing herself with information about shipyards, fabrics from textile factories, products from plastic factories, and trying food from food factories.
And now, I am making dried fish with He Yuhuan and my great-grandmother.
After making this batch of dried fish, Jiang Xia planned to sell it directly to Mr. Hou.
However, deep-frying is required to make dried fish, and the oil purchased ran out quickly, and both families ran out of oil coupons.
Nowadays, tickets are still required to buy things. Although some items no longer require tickets, tickets are still required for food, oil, meat, electronic products and other items.
Zhou Chenglei saved a lot of tickets, but Jiang Xia had squandered all the gas tickets.
They usually go fishing at sea and sell the fish to the purchaser. Although the price is cheap, they will give you some tickets every month based on the amount you sell.
However, Jiang Xia saw that they sold so much fish last month, and the tickets Zhou's mother got back only had two gas tickets for four cities and two. Of course, Zhou's mother also exchanged other tickets.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and you need tickets to buy meat, mooncakes and give gifts.
He Xinghuan said: "I'm going to find someone to buy some gas tickets to see if I can buy them."
Grandma: "When the peanuts in the fields are ripe this year, they will be used to squeeze oil."
Jiang Xia: "Well, let's do this for the time being. I'll think of a solution after the dried fish has a regular business."
Now that restaurants are allowed to open, it will be easier to apply for a small food workshop business license and buy oil and grain.
In the evening, Jiang Xia went to the dock to wait for her ship to return as usual. The people from the production team told her that there were two packages sent from Beijing.
Jiang Xia went to get the package first.
Zhou Li looked at the two big packages and asked curiously: "Jiang Xia, why do you receive packages from Beijing every day? Who sends them to you? Do you have relatives in Beijing?"
Jiang Xia: "It's my brother. I asked him to buy something for me."
Zhou Li looked at the two packages and wanted to open them to see what was inside: "Is your brother studying at Beijing University? That's awesome!"
The address left on the package was Beijing University, and she had seen it.
After hearing this, Jiang Xia just smiled, said thank you, and then left with two boxes on the pretext of going to the dock to see if the family's ship had returned.
Zhou Li really wanted to talk to Jiang Xia more and build a good relationship.
Jiang Xia's mother-in-law is capable. If she wants to change her position in the future, or if her son wants to work in the system after finishing his studies, it will be convenient to ask her for help.
Although her son is still in junior high school, he needs to get along first and find someone to help him to talk better later.
Jiang Xia left the production team and returned home with two packages in her arms.
She opened the big one first and found two cashmere sweaters inside, as well as a lot of imported snacks, including Coke!
One of the cashmere sweaters should be from Jiang Mu.
Jiang Xia unpacked another package, which was a Seagull camera with dual upper and lower lenses. It looked like a rectangular box with a flip-open lid.
It looked a bit complicated, so she studied it and read Jiang Dong's letter first. One of the cashmere sweaters did belong to Jiang's mother. The letter also said that he had asked someone to load film into the camera.
He bought a total of two rolls of film. After using up the film in the camera and not being able to change it, he took it to the photo studio and asked someone to help him take out the film. Don't take it out randomly, otherwise the film will be exposed and all the photos he took before will be ruined.
After reading the letter, Jiang Xia studied the operating instructions and roughly understood how to take pictures. She found the button and clicked it at Zhou Zhou who was doing homework in the yard and Zhou's mother who was weaving a fish net.
Both of them looked over.
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Is this a camera? Xiaodong sent it?"
Zhou Zhou also had curiosity in his eyes.
Jiang Xia nodded and replied with a smile: "Well, I asked my brother to help buy it. It was sent on time. When the big ship comes back, I can take a picture of the moment when the new ship was launched."
Zhou's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Yes! We will also take pictures when the house is under construction! Your dad is very happy."
Jiang Xia laughed and asked Zhou's mother and Zhou Zhou to stand together while she took a picture of them.
Zhou's mother hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, don't waste the film. We will take the photo on the day the boat comes back. Let's take the photo together as a family." Zhou's mother knew that it was expensive to take a photo in a photo studio, costing two yuan, and the color one was even more expensive. Enlarging will cost extra.
The owner of the photo studio said it was expensive because that kind of film was very expensive, twenty or thirty yuan a roll.
So she thinks the more people in a photo, the more cost-effective it is!
And what photos should I take if I have nothing to do? It’s a good idea to save it for a big happy event or a family reunion.
Jiang Xia: "It doesn't matter, there are two rolls of film. I'll take a picture of both you and Zhou Zhou."
Zhou’s mother said she wouldn’t take pictures, and Zhou Zhou didn’t dare to take pictures when she saw him. Jiang Xia had no choice but to take her camera to the dock to take pictures of her old man driving the boat!
Jiang Xia came to the pier with her camera. She took a picture of the bustling scene at the pier, a picture of the fishing boats returning home under the sunset, and another one of the women chatting and laughing under the big banyan tree, waiting for the fishing boats to return. photo.
I also took a picture of the queue waiting to be weighed at the acquisition office.
After taking a few pictures, Jiang Xia stopped taking pictures. She was reluctant to take too many pictures, mainly because she didn't know how to change the film, so she had to save the pictures of her old man and the ship launching ceremony.
At this time Tian Caihua and Zhou Chengxin came to Jiang Xia.
Tian Caihua asked curiously: "Xiaoxia, are you holding a camera?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhou Chengxin also looked at it curiously: "I heard that this Seagull brand camera is difficult to buy. How long did you wait in line to buy it?"
Jiang Xia was surprised and shook her head: "I don't know. I asked my brother to help me buy it. Come on, brother and sister-in-law, I will take a picture for you."
"What? Take a photo? But I don't look good in what I'm wearing today! Are my clothes too old?" Tian Caihua suddenly didn't know how to place her hands and feet. She wanted to take a photo, but she was afraid that she didn't look good in what she wore. It came out so ugly.
"It doesn't matter. Wear something nicer and take a photo another day." Jiang Xia found a place and motioned for them to stand.
Then I took a photo of them with the sky full of sunset, the vast sea, and the busy dock as the background.
After taking the photo, Jiang Xia found that his fishing boat had docked.
She quickly ran over to take pictures of her old man, otherwise his beauty would be blinded in vain!
Zhou Chenglei was holding the rope and was about to get off the boat. He saw Jiang Xia running over with a camera in his hand. He frowned: "Slow down, don't run!"
Jiang Xia clicked at him!
Zhou Chenglei wrapped the rope and came to her side: "Don't run away in the future!"
Jiang Xia was too lazy to pay attention to him, ran onto the boat, and said to Zhou's father, "Dad, I will take pictures for you."
Zhou's father's eyes lit up when he saw the camera. The boat had stopped and he was about to leave. He turned around and held the rudder of the boat very cooperatively, assuming a posture to sail the boat: "Is this okay?"
"Okay! So handsome!" Jiang Xia picked a good angle and clicked, "That's it!"
Father Zhou hurriedly walked to Jiang Xia and ignored the boat full of fish. "How do you take a picture of this? Bring it to me and take a picture too."
Jiang Xia took the camera off his neck and taught him.
Zhou's father was very smart, and he knew how to do it as soon as he was taught. He hung the camera around his neck and looked for Zhou Bingqiang.
Father Zhou immediately locked onto the figure that made him think about him every day.
Father Zhou shouted to Zhou Bingqiang: "Bingqiang! Bingqiang! Come, come, come! My family bought a camera! Let us brothers take a photo!"
Wasn't Zhou Bingqiang clamoring to buy a Seagull camera a while ago?
He said that this Seagull brand camera is very difficult to buy. He queued for a long time and couldn't buy it!
He also said that he would rely on connections to buy it, but he didn’t know when he would be able to buy it.
Even before I bought it, I started shouting everywhere. Gods and Buddhas all over the sky knew about it, and there was no trace of the camera!
Haha, I didn’t expect my daughter-in-law to buy it without saying anything!
Now, he had to take a good picture of Zhou Bingqiang's forced smile!
Zhou Bingqiang looked over when he heard the shouting and saw the camera in Zhou's father's hand with a dark face.
He wanted to buy it, but in the end he was reluctant to buy it. It cost more than 400 yuan, almost 500 yuan!
Father Zhou not only called Zhou Bingqiang, but also called other people in the village.
"National Treasure, Guangcai, come, take a photo! Let's take a photo together!"
Are you kidding me? It’s so expensive to take a photo, so of course it can’t just be taken by Zhou Bingqiang!
The first camera in the village!
Such a beautiful thing has to be known to the whole village, so let’s take a group photo together!
In the future, if he talks about it, he can also say that the first photo of you in your life was taken by me. How awesome is that?
"Chaohua, Chaoming... Come, let me take pictures for you! Let's take a group photo!" Originally, everyone was busy moving fish and selling fish, but now they were all attracted by Zhou's father!
Taking photos is quite new to everyone, and we all know that going to a photo studio to take a photo is really expensive!
So everyone didn’t even want to sell the fish, and ran to Zhou’s father one after another: “Yongfu, take a picture of me sailing the boat.”
"Take a picture of me too. I caught a boat full of fish today. Let's take it as a souvenir."
"Take a picture of me too, I want a picture of me driving the boat."
…
Father Zhou: "How can there be so much film for each person? Take a group photo! Go to Bingqiang's new boat to take pictures!"
Haha... I'm so angry with him!
Everyone was happy to take a group photo, so everyone boarded Zhou Bingqiang’s new boat.
Father Zhou: "Xiao Xia, help us take the photo."
So Jiang Xia took a group photo of everyone on Zhou Bingqiang's new boat.
The villagers were sitting or standing on both sides of the boat. There were baskets of fish on the boat. Father Zhou stood in the middle with his arm on Zhou Bingqiang’s shoulders, smiling proudly!
Jiang Xia also suggested that everyone take a photo at the entrance of the production team. Soon the production team will be reformed and become a village committee. The production team will become the most lasting memory of their generation.
