Chapter 100 Taking Photos
Seeing that people agreed so readily, Xu Damao always felt that he had not given his best and did not have any sense of accomplishment in cheating others.

Li Zhiguo nodded, "Okay, let's confirm it now. After shooting the interior scenes, that is, in the photo studio, do we still need to go outside?
For example, you can go to Beihai Park, Shichahai, or the Bell and Drum Tower or the city gate. ”

"All right, but I'll only pay for the group photo. You have to pay for the individual photos yourself."

Shazhu is not stupid. It is not easy for him to save some money. Don't let Li Zhiguo spend it.

"Okay, that's settled. I'll go and ask the photographer to make time for it on the weekend. If you have a wife, you can bring her along so she can take pictures too."

Li Zhiguo immediately arranged his weekend schedule.

Who knew Xu Damao had really improved? He suddenly said, "Shazhu, how about you and Lao Cai ride the tricycle and take us over there?"

"Xu Damao, you're dreaming. I'd rather meet Sister Qin than you. Just walk by yourself."

Sha Zhu was unhappy, he couldn't stand Xu Damao.

"Okay, let my wife and Sister Qin take the car, and I'll take Li Zhiguo's car."

Xu Damao has made great progress and learned how to deal with troubles easily.

Li Zhiguo was not willing to tolerate it, and said with a smile: "Don't argue, this is a simple matter.

Let my brother Dongxu ride a tricycle. He doesn't have a job now, maybe one day he can do this to earn money, which will give him time to practice.

So, he rode a tricycle to take me and your sister Qin over there.

As for Old Cai, please take some effort and carry Bihua and Chunyan over.

As for me, I will offer my bicycle to you, Shazhu, and you and Xu Damao can take turns riding it so that you can practice. I will buy you one when you save enough money.

There are five brothers in our courtyard, and I am the eldest brother. I will go to the front first, and we will all live a good life in the future."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Except for Lao Cai who did not object, the other three brothers were not happy.

"No, Li Zhiguo, you..."

Just as Xu Damao was about to resist, Li Zhiguo shouted, "Chunyan, come out. I want to discuss something with you."

"Here I come, Brother Li."

Tang Chunyan was watching at the window. When she heard the call, she ran out immediately.

"Is such that……"

Li Zhiguo explained the arrangements.

Tang Chunyan's eyes lit up immediately, "Great, great! Let Damao learn to ride a bicycle, and we'll buy one tomorrow so we can ride it to visit my second uncle."

"Chunyan, look at our second uncle, this is great, this is great."

Xu Damao immediately smiled brightly. His wife's second uncle was the deputy director of the Friendship Food Factory. He had always wanted to curry favor with him but had never found a chance. Now that his wife was happy, the opportunity had come.

Sha Zhu was still not happy, "Xu Damao, then you have to give me a ride. I've ridden a tricycle before, and I'm not used to riding a bicycle."

"Just take it, buddy, just treat it as driving practice, and buy one when you learn how to drive."

Xu Damao started to show off. Although he didn't save enough money, he could ask his parents for help and would be able to buy a bicycle soon.

"Okay, that's settled. I have to go back and eat."

Li Zhiguo wanted to leave after he finished speaking.

Who knew Jia Dongxu suddenly said: "Why should I ride a tricycle when there is still me here?"

"It's gone. It's gone."

Li Zhiguo did not answer. How can you have any status in the hospital if you don’t work and don’t earn money? You are the lowest among the five brothers.

"I'm going home to cook."

Shazhu also left, but his father was still waiting for dinner at home.

"Brother Li, I'm leaving too. I need to get the tricycle serviced."

Cai Quanwu has also left, so he has no role to lead here.

Xu Damao couldn't leave because he had to wash the vegetables, but he also said, "Jia Dongxu, you should go back and cook as well. Don't delay anything."

"Hey!"

Jia Dongxu turned and ran away with a sad face. Where are the brothers he promised to meet? Why does no one care about his feelings?

After returning to the room, Li Zhiguo picked up his chopsticks and started eating. To fill his stomach first, he said, "Huai Ru, we are going to take photos this Sunday. We have also invited Jia Dongxu and the others. Take Jing Ru with you."

"Take pictures!"

Qin Huairu also became interested. She had never taken a photo before and was very curious.

"Yes, I will work hard these few days, plan a travel route, and have a good time on Sunday."

Li Zhiguo smiled and picked up some cabbage for Jingru, saying that children need to eat more vegetables to grow taller.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Xiao Jingru was shoveling rice, it smelled delicious.

Qin Huairu said, "Jingru, you must remember how good your brother-in-law is to you and how he always takes you with him wherever he goes."

"I know, sister. I love my brother-in-law the most." Little Jingru spoke without restraint as a child, and she often picked up on adults' words when she arrived in the city.

"You are so young, how can you understand what rare means?"

Qin Huairu smiled and was happy in her heart. Life at home had improved. Her father and second brother worked in the city, and her third uncle also had a job.

By then, my mother will come to take care of the children, and my third brother will go to the city to study. The whole family will be city dwellers, and we can live a good life without having to farm. This is all thanks to her husband.

Sometimes Qin Huairu wondered if she hadn’t been in a hurry to pee on the blind date with Jia Dongxu that day, would she have missed such a good marriage.

But then I thought, since it is a marriage, maybe it is destined.

She had done good deeds in her previous life, which is why she has such a good life.

Li Zhiguo didn't respond because he was still waiting and hadn't gotten to the point yet.

"Brother, I just got off work and was in a hurry to come home to cook when I heard this. Did you write some songs and make money again?"

Qin Huairu suddenly remembered this and almost forgot about it.

Xiao Jingru quickly replied, "Sister, I know this. The song my brother-in-law wrote is called "Let's Row the Boat Together", and I can sing it."

"Ok!"

Li Zhiguo nodded and said, "I go to Beihai Park often, don't I? I wrote a poem inspired by it. I didn't earn much, just 150 yuan."

"So much money, brother, you are really capable."

There is no singing and dancing here for Qin Huairu. She can't tell which songs are good or bad. All she knows is that the man is powerful.

"It's okay, just a little bit better than others."

Li Zhiguo picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. When you are almost done drinking, don't stop!

That night! Qin Huairu pedaled the sewing machine and turned the old clothes she had taken off into diapers.

Li Zhiguo went to bed early, leaned against the headboard and read a book. "The path to the mountain of books is through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning requires hard work."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law...Sister, brother-in-law is asleep."

Xiao Jingru originally wanted to ask what time her brother-in-law would wake her up tomorrow, but she found that his face was covered with a book and she couldn't wake him up.

"Shh! Don't disturb your brother-in-law."

Qin Huairu hurried over, took the book down gently, pulled the quilt over her heart, and gestured for Xiao Jingru to sleep inside.

"Sister, let me fan my brother-in-law."

Xiao Jingru said in a low voice, half stood up, took the fan and started fanning herself.

"it is good!"

Qin Huairu tiptoed back to the sewing machine and stepped lightly on the pedal. She would be almost done in a while.

……

In the middle courtyard, outside the Jia family’s house.

With a single sound, Jia Dongxu washed the clothes in the dark in the yard under the dim light of the street lamps and hung them out to dry skillfully.

"This job isn't tiring. It's just like what I said before, as if washing clothes and cooking were not a big achievement."

Jia Dongxu muttered to himself, and seeing that it was getting late, he lifted the door curtain, went back to the house, and closed the door.

I could hear snoring in the room. I really can sleep. I take a nap in the afternoon, go to bed early at night and get up late in the morning.

"Dongxu, you should go to bed early too! I see you working day in and day out. Once you learn how to project movies, our family will have a better life."

Chen Bihua hasn't rested yet. She is using a sewing machine to modify diapers. They will be useful after Banggeng is born.

"Why am I sleeping? I'm studying."

Jia Dongxu took out the playlist and started humming along with the lyrics.

For a moment, Chen Bihua felt her scalp tingling. This was too unpleasant to hear.

"Dongxu, why are you howling so late at night? Are you going to let mom sleep?"

Jia Zhang also started yelling, "This is calling the soul. Don't summon Old Jia into the dream and take her away."

She still has to go back to work at the steel mill, earn a salary and live a good life, so she is reluctant to leave.

"Mom, you have no sense of music. Oh! I won't sing anymore, okay?"

Jia Dongxu wants to go back to work. I wasn’t like this before.

"Dongxu, go to bed, you still have to cook breakfast tomorrow."

Chen Bihua couldn't stand it either. Such a good song written by Li Ge'er was ruined by Dongxu's singing.

"It's okay, wife. I'll sing silently. Remember to take pictures on Sunday. Li Zhiguo and the others are all my brothers."

Jia Dongxu is now afraid that he can't even be a brother, that would be really bleak.

"Ok!"

Chen Bihua pedaled the sewing machine, thinking about how embarrassing it would be to take a photo with Li Ge'er. After a while, she put away the diaper and turned around to see Dongxu sleeping soundly.

"Hey! You can't even compare to Brother Li, and you still want to write songs!

Others, like Li Ge'er, get up late, but others must have stayed up late to study at night."

Chen Bihua shook her head and then took a rest.

……

The news about Li Zhiguo making money by writing songs had been a hot topic in the hospital for several days, and more and more people came to him to become his godfather.

In response, Li Zhiguo rejected all the offers, saying he was still a child and how could he be a father to someone.

On Saturday, I went to get a haircut and waited for the photos to be developed. They are memories of my youth.

Nowadays, getting married only requires a piece of red paper, no need for taking photos, just consider it as bringing a wife.

When my father-in-law and his family arrive in the city, we can take a family photo.

Suddenly he thought of learning photography, which is actually a way to make money. Never mind, he has money.

Sunday arrived in a blink of an eye. Li Zhiguo was woken up early in the morning. He went out to wash up and saw Xu Damao cleaning his bicycle.

"Oh my god, Damao, you are so hardworking!"

"Don't you want to take a picture of me riding a bike with my wife? Li Zhiguo, I told you that you don't take good care of your bike. The steel bars are all covered in mud."

Xu Damao squatted there and carefully wiped the bicycle from head to toe until it was shiny. The projectionist, on the other hand, wiped the equipment frequently.

"Da Mao, this is great. I find that you have many good qualities."

Li Zhiguo sincerely admired that Xu Damao was just a bad guy with bad luck.

"I love hearing that! Just for that, I'll buy you a drink at noon."

Xu Damao almost burst into tears. He was actually praised by Li Zhiguo. Good people will never be buried.

"Forget about it at noon. Don't bring Shazhu down with you. Drink at night."

Li Zhiguo stopped chatting and went home to have breakfast after washing up. He would have to teach the Dongxu brothers how to ride a tricycle later.

He has taken great care to ensure that the residents in the courtyard have a good life.

……

"Brother, are you ready? I'm still waiting to use the mirror to comb my hair."

In the He family's house in the middle courtyard, He Yushui sat on a small stool and had been waiting for a while.

"Yushui, don't be in a hurry today. Today is a good day for your brother to take pictures. If you want to keep them for your future sister-in-law, you have to dress them up."

Sha Zhu combed his hair again in front of the mirror and finally gave the mirror to his sister.

He then stepped on the bench, picked up the handkerchief and rubbed his leather shoes vigorously until they were shiny black, then he smiled with satisfaction.

He stood up and straightened his clothes. He looked like a really good guy, just a little tanned from riding a tricycle.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Sha Zhu asked inside.

"All right."

Cai Quanwu carefully buttoned his collar, put on a pair of new cloth shoes, and put money in his pocket. He felt younger today by following Li Ge'er and took a few photos.

"Then let's go now and call Li Zhiguo, so he doesn't sleep in again. Yushui, stay home today and don't run around. Dad will be back at noon to cook for you."

Sha Zhu shook his head when he talked about his father. He didn't ride the tricycle today, but went to the overpass early in the morning to watch the monkey show. Is that the right place to go?

Last time, that widow named Chunhua almost killed my father.

As the uncle and nephew just went out, they saw Jia Dongxu coming out of the house. He was also dressed up, but his clothes were a little worn.

"Shazhu, go call Li Zhiguo and Xu Damao. I have two more clothes here, and I'll wash them in one go."

Jia Dongxu just had a fight with his mother at home. You didn’t change your clothes last night, so why did you change so early in the morning? Wouldn’t that delay things?

"Then you better hurry up!"

Sha Zhu held back his laughter. He deserved it. He wanted to stop working after getting married. He really thought that everyone was like Sister Qin, who was so virtuous, working to earn money, and then working after get off work and taking care of the home.

Li Zhiguo and Sister Qin are living a good life.

When he marries a wife in the future, he will look for one like Sister Qin, so that his family can live a prosperous life.

When they arrived at the backyard, Sha Zhu just saw Qin Huairu coming out of the main room with bowls and chopsticks, followed by the little kid.

"Sister Qin, we are taking pictures. Why are you still washing the dishes? Let me help you."

Sha Zhu said this and rolled up his sleeves.

"Shazhu, thank you so much, here are a few bowls and Jingru, it will be ready in a moment, your brother is in the room, you and Lao Cai can go in and have a rest."

Qin Huairu started cleaning as she spoke. She knew that Sha Zhu meant well, but she washed the dishes at home every day, so it was just a piece of cake for her.

"Hey!"

Shazhu was happy and thought that Sister Qin was so nice that she even asked him to take a rest.

Cai Quanwu didn't say anything. He had long noticed that his nephew was too flattering to his sister-in-law, but he believed that Li Ge'er also understood it and hoped that he would not bully his nephew.

"I bother!"

Xu Damao muttered something, and after seeing Sha Zhu leave, he came out with a basin to wash the dishes. This Sha Zhu definitely had some feelings towards Sister Qin and was not a human being.

"Good morning, Sister Qin, good morning, Xiao Jingru."

Xu Damao put on a smiling face when he arrived at the pool. He had shaved today and looked younger. He wanted to take a photo.

"Hello Uncle Damao!"

Xiao Jingru finally changed her tune.

"Hey! OK, OK."

Xu Damao was in a good mood today and decided to take the initiative to invite Li Zhiguo's family to dinner. Instead of being cheated, it would be better to take the initiative and take the initiative, which could be considered a win.

In the main hall of the Li family, Li Zhiguo put his arms around Sha Zhu and Cai Quanwu's shoulders and said with a smile, "Later, the three of us brothers will take a photo to wish you good luck and help you find wives sooner."

"That's great!"

Shazhu was happy, but if he wanted to find a wife, he had to be attracted to the right person.

"Brother Li, when I get married, please come and arrange it for me."

Cai Quanwu had long discovered that Li Ge'er was an expert at organizing group activities. He had never made any mistakes and others did not dare to cause trouble.

"It's a good feeling!"

Li Zhiguo thought, I’m afraid that you two uncle and nephew are interested in the same daughter-in-law.

"By the way, where's Dongxu? He hasn't come to the meeting yet. I see Damao is washing dishes."

He suddenly remembered that there were five people in a group, and one brother was missing.

"I took a look when I came here, and he was washing clothes for Jia Zhang."

Sha Zhu tried to hold back his laughter, but suddenly he remembered that he also did a lot of laundry for his father and uncle. Alas, the family still lacked women.

"Never mind him, wait till Damao has packed up, then we'll set off."

Li Zhiguo made an appointment with a photographer in advance and booked the whole day, but he had to go to the photo studio first.

"Huai Ru, are you ready?"

"Brother, it will be ready soon."

Qin Huairu had tidied herself up in the inner room, changed into new clothes, and when she came out after pulling back the curtain, she stunned everyone.

Even with a big belly, she couldn't hide her radiance and beauty.

"Brother-in-law!"

Little Jingru also came out, with two ponytails and hairpins, she was very cute.

"Let's go!"

Li Zhiguo has money in his pocket, so he is not worried. Others dare to go shopping in department stores with just a few cents, but he has so much money that he can go on a shopping spree and has the confidence to do anything.

"Let's go take some pictures."

Little Jingru was jumping and skipping in front, wearing a new pair of rubber-soled shoes and new clothes bought from Sister Xueru.

In addition, the food in the city was good, her hair grew well, and her skin became whiter, she was like a little princess.

Li Zhiguo shook the shirt he was wearing. It wasn't made of the best material, but he looked like a handsome guy. To enhance his style, he put a pen in the pocket of his shirt, giving him the style of a high-ranking official's son.

When they arrived at Old Xu's house, Xu Damao brought Tang Chunyan out to join the team.

For a moment, a group of people walked forward side by side, with Li Zhiguo walking in the middle!

The aunties in the backyard were pointing and talking, and the deaf old lady was watching at the door. The atmosphere in the yard was different. Li Zhiguo didn't know when he really became the young big brother.

When the group arrived at the central courtyard, they saw Jia Dongxu hanging clothes. Turning back, he saw Li Zhiguo and his group dressed in bright and handsome clothes. Then he looked at his own clothes, which were the same ones his father had worn.

"Mom, my wife, can you give me some money? I want to buy some new clothes and take photos with them."

Jia Dongxu's defense broke down on the spot. How could he take a photo with this outfit?

When Chen Bihua heard the shouting, she hurried out of the house. Jia Zhang also came out with a gloomy face, but when she saw Li Zhiguo coming, she quickly put on a smile.

"Li Zhiguo, you got up so early today!"

Jia Zhang also got up early and went to take pictures with her son and daughter-in-law, as this was a happy event.

"We've already made an appointment, I can't keep everyone waiting. Dongxu, are you ready? It's time to set off."

Li Zhiguo planned to travel to many places today, so he hired a photographer and he couldn't afford to suffer any loss.
