"Then let's go home and take a family photo."

Dad locked the door and walked back.

Pan Dazhang rode his motorcycle home first.

The family's wolfdog Black Panther heard the sound of the motorcycle arriving outside the courtyard wall and pricked up his ears alertly.

The domestic dog Heizi next to him wagged his tail.

The black panther also smelled a familiar smell, and it roared lowly, but Heizi ignored its warning and ran out of the courtyard gate.

They circled around the feet of Pan Dazhang and the two of them.

Pan Xiaozhang walked out of the restaurant.

"Mom, brother and sister-in-law are back."

Zou Xiuhua in the kitchen said naggingly: "If you don't come back early, I'll cook some more food."

Wen Xiaoqin went in and said to her: "Auntie, we came back from having dinner at Yudu. There is no need to cook for us."

Pan Xiaozhang saw the camera in his brother's hand and shouted excitedly: "Brother bought a camera. It's great. Can you take a picture of me too?"

Pan Dazhang: "No problem, but your image is too sloppy, your hair is never combed, and your clothes still smell. The photos you take will damage your glorious image."

Pan Xiaozhang: "There's so much nonsense. I'll take a shower and change into clean clothes before taking the photo."

He went to the kitchen to get hot water and prepared to take a bath.

"Go take a shower after eating, otherwise you'll be sweating again after eating. It's not like your brother won't take photos of you."

It’s a crisp autumn day and I’m sweating so much.

Zou Xiuhua saw her son playing with a new camera and was so excited that she took photos of the two dogs, the bamboos next to the courtyard, and the entire house.

"This kid, why are you taking these pictures? It's just a waste of film."

Zou Xiuhua said to him cheerfully.

It cost several hundred yuan to buy a camera, and she didn't blame him for spending it lavishly.

My son will make money, and even if he spends money, he will spend his own money.

People who know how to spend money also know how to make money, which is normal in itself.

At this time, Pan Dazhang took a photo from all angles of the house.

In the previous life, this house was demolished in 1994.

Because Pan Dazhang, who works in a mine, has always been reluctant to find a partner. He looks down on people who eat commercial food and have no jobs.

And girls who have formal jobs and get paid also look down on him, an underground worker.

In addition, he focused on studying and writing, and ignored his parents' requests for him to get married.

"If you don't want to get married, let's find a wife for Xiao Zhang first?"

Pan Dazhang was already twenty-six years old that year, and Pan Xiaozhang was also twenty-three years old.

For rural young men, if they do not marry a wife at the age of twenty-three, they will be rejected by others.

At that time, Pan Dazhang had no objection at all to marrying his younger brother first, and when he got married, he took back home every penny of his savings.

Who would have thought that he would marry a younger sister-in-law who has the same temperament as Pan Xiaozhang, who is lazy and lazy, and often beats and scolds her parents at home. She is arrogant and domineering, making the family restless.

The next year I gave birth to a daughter, and I was mobilized to go to family planning, but I stubbornly refused to go.

And she got pregnant again the next year.

Regardless of the turmoil at home, the two left their one-year-old daughter to her mother and insisted on having a second child.

The family planning cadres took coercive measures, but my father couldn't control his emotions and beat him.

I ran to the back hill and hid for several days. When I came back, a house had been razed to the ground.

Pan Dazhang was also in a complicated mood at this time.

More than ten years after my father retired, he hurt someone and hid in the mountains for several days because of family planning issues for his younger son.

The mother was running around the village begging for her granddaughter.

Relatives and friends watched the house being demolished and did not dare to speak out to stop it.

Pan Dazhang was working in a factory in Guangdong that year. When he came back after hearing the news, he saw the devastation everywhere. He was so angry that he wanted to chop people with a kitchen knife on the spot.

I hope this kind of thing will never happen again in this life.

Although there are still eye-catching slogans posted everywhere at the beginning and end of the village.

Dad came home and the family had dinner.

Put on clean clothes.

Pan Dazhang first took a few photos of everyone, then took a photo of his parents, and then took a photo of the two brothers.

Pan Xiaozhang shouted again that he wanted to take a group photo with his brother and sister-in-law.

Pan Dazhang taught him how to operate.

The technical difficulty is not high, and you will understand it after a few lessons.

Wen Xiaoqin asked his family of four to take a photo together.

Zou Xiuhua: "Go and ask someone to help. Xiaoqin is also a member of our family. If you want to take a photo, you have to take Xiaoqin in."

Pan Dazhang: “This camera can be set to shoot automatically.”

He fixed the camera on the table and asked his family to find a place to sit. After setting the time, he quickly walked to the middle seat.

The parents are sitting in the front, Xiao Zhang is on the right, he is in the middle, and Wen Xiaoqin is on the left.

While taking the photo, she held his left arm with one hand and put her head slightly close to his shoulder.

I was afraid that the photo would not be good, so I took two more pictures in succession.

The two dogs at home also consciously squatted at their parents' feet.

Pan Dazhang looked at how many films were left, and asked Wen Xiaoqin to take a group photo with his mother. Both mother and son took a few pictures, as did father and son.

We also took a few photos of each person individually.

One roll of film was taken.

The two returned to Yudu Rainbow Photo Studio.

The boss was about to lock the door and close the stall when Pan Dazhang stopped him: "Boss, can you help me work overtime to wash it out? Because I have to send the photos to others tomorrow."

The boss laughed and said: "Little brother, it turns out that I just bought a camera just to take pictures overnight. Okay, I will work overtime to develop it for you, and you can pick it up tomorrow."

"I'll pick it up around 12:30 tomorrow noon."

"no problem."

I charged him 14 yuan for cleaning.

Pan Dazhang bought another box of film.

"Are you going to participate in the Go competition tomorrow?" Wen Xiaoqin asked him when he returned to his residence.

"Go, why don't you go? I still have a thousand yuan bonus to get?"

Seeing that she was still confused, he explained: "The first place will receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan, the second place will receive 500 yuan, and the third place will receive 200 yuan."

"If you brag, you can definitely win the championship?"

"If I finish second, no one will dare to say I can win the championship."

Pan Dazhang said confidently: "In this small pond in Yudu County, I don't care who will be the king. Even in Gangzhou City, I can achieve good results."

In his previous life, Ren Xiaoyang went to Gangzhou to participate in the competition in December of that year after winning the championship with Yu Du, and also won the championship.

The next year, I went to Nanchang to participate in the provincial Go competition and won third place.

He was rated as an amateur Go three-stage player that year.

But later, due to the downturn in the business, I went to work in Guangdong, and the idea of ​​making a career out of playing Go fell by the wayside.

Many years later he met him on the street, and he was also living in a miserable state.

I don’t have a house or a car, and I divorced my wife.

So it can only be used as a hobby to kill time, and cannot be used as a means of making a living.

"Dazhang is really amazing."

The next morning, before he left the house, Wen Xiaoqin secretly gave him a hug.

"Come on! Little cousin champion!"

"You can take the photos back when you have time. When you get back from lunch, I will take those big wooden photos to the post office and mail them." He told her specifically.

Arrive at the cultural center early.

Participants in the competition arrived one after another.
