Chapter 216 The end of the college entrance examination

For Duan Yun, the exams for two consecutive days were uneventful.

After finishing the last exam, Duan Yun left the exam room, lit a cigarette outside the school, and took a puff comfortably.

After returning to the factory by car at night, Cao Dong and other young workers had already prepared wine, meat and meals for Duan Yun's return.

But when drinking and eating, almost no one asked about Duan Yun's college entrance examination. After all, they all knew Duan Yun's diploma. From their point of view, Duan Yun's participation in the adult college entrance examination this time was just for fun, and no one really took it seriously. thing.

Now Duan Yun's workshop is already busy, but compared to last month, it is much more relaxed. In addition, Cui Lin and Lei Zi have already taken a long vacation with the factory, and now they are basically working full-time at Duan Yun's side.

Halfway through drinking, Duan Yun suddenly remembered something, so he got up and left, and walked to the small room next to him.

After unlocking the door, Duan Yun entered his private darkroom. The photos Duan Yun took before were developed here.

The air was filled with the smell of chemicals, Duan Yun turned on the switch of the red light bulb, and began to carefully examine the photos hanging on the wire shelf.

When Duan Yun saw the clear image of the family portrait on the middle piece of photo paper, he was filled with excitement and a sense of accomplishment.

These photos were all washed by Duan Yun two days ago and hung on the wire to dry. They could have been taken down a long time ago, but Duan Yun has been busy with exams these two days and has not come to take the photos.

This is Duan Yun's first black and white photography work.

Generally speaking, the apprenticeship fees paid by Duan Yun to Master Wang in the photo studio are quite worthwhile. Although the photos taken by Duan Yun are not artistically effective, at least they are in clear focus, without backlighting, and the characters are complete (no There is a situation where the feet are not photographed), which is completely in line with the aesthetics of people's photos these days.

When Duan Yun took the thick, dried and cut photos to the afternoon, the whole room exploded.

"Brother Duan, your photography skills are simply amazing, even better than the masters in the photo studio!"

"My brother Duan looks good in everything he does, this photo is so good!"

"See, the few of us are my most photogenic! Seeing all of you crooked, taking a photo with you will really affect my image!"

"Pull it down quickly, you see that your trousers are not buttoned up, and the pants are leaking out..."

Several young workers picked out their photos excitedly, and Duan Yun immediately took out the family portrait taken with his mother and sister.

Black and white photos are very contemporary, but now Duan Yun can still see the colors behind the black and white photos.

In my memory, when Duan Yun's predecessor took a family portrait, he was still four years old, and when his younger sister was just born one month old. Although the family lived in poverty at that time, they were still happy.

Since the death of his father, Duan Yun's family has never taken a family portrait.

In fact, Duan Yun himself is also a very nostalgic person. In his previous life, he liked to look through the photo albums at home, recalling every bit of his childhood and student days.

So after I bought the camera in this rebirth, I plan to take photography as my hobby and stick to it for a long time.

In the evening, after drinking and eating, Duan Yun returned home with a photo.

"Brother, how did you do in the exam today?" Duan Fang asked casually after opening the door to glance at her brother.

"good."

"Ah." After Duan Fang responded, she didn't ask any more questions.

As for her mother, Gao Xiuzhi, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV while knitting a sweater. The weather was getting colder. She wanted to add woolen vests to Duan Yun and his sister. As for Duan Yun's exam situation today, she didn't mean to ask at all.

Mother Gao Xiuzhi watched Duan Yun go from elementary school to middle school. At that time, Duan Yun's grades could be described as appalling. She knew best how bad his son was in school.

"Mom, let's take a look at the photos of our family portrait." Duan Yun said, took out a stack of photos wrapped in newspapers from his pocket, and handed them to his mother.

"So fast!" A look of surprise flashed across Gao Xiuzhi's face, and she reached out to take the photos.

"Where's my single photo?" Duan Fang who heard the voice also ran over from the hut at this time, said excitedly.

"I'll show you after finishing the homework!" Duan Yun frowned and said.

Duan Yun didn't want to delay his younger sister Duan Fang's study, after all, it was time for her senior year to work hard.

"You're so stingy..." Duan Fang pouted slightly, but refused to walk away.

"Okay, let's show your sister, she has been cooking and delivering meals for you some time ago." Gao Xiuzhi said with a smile when she saw this.

"Mom treats me better." Duan Fang pursed her lips, stuck out her tongue at her brother, and picked up the stack of photos to look at.

"If you study hard in the future and get admitted to university, my brother will give you a camera, and you can take pictures of yourself every day." Duan Yun glanced at his sister and said.

"It's not that easy..." Duan Fang's face flashed a look of worry, but then he said pleasantly: "Brother, your skills are good, and you can take good pictures of me."

Girls love beauty, and Duan Fang was very excited to see her youthful and beautiful photos.

"If you can get in the top five of the class in this final exam, I will take you and our mother on a trip during the winter vacation, and then you can take as many photos as you want!" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"It's easy!" Duan Fang's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she said immediately, "I want to go to BJ Tiananmen Square!"

"no problem!"

"Then let's make an agreement, you can't be foolish then?" Duan Fang said to Duan Yun solemnly.

"Your brother, I don't count when I talk." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "In addition to going to BJ, let's go back to our hometown in Northeast China and let the old family make pig blood sausage for us!"

"Great." Duan Fang said upon hearing this.

"Xiaoyun, you want to go back to your hometown in Northeast China?" Gao Xiuzhi said in surprise.

"Mom, after so many years, it's time for us to visit the Northeast. We still have relatives in the Northeast." Duan Yun asked.

The Hongxing Gear Factory was a project aided by the Northeast Engineering Bureau. Most of the factory's hometowns are in the Northeast, including Duan Yun's parents.

"Yes, your old aunt wrote me a letter last year..." Gao Xiuzhi said.

"Then we should go back and have a look." Duan Yun said.

"Let's talk later."

"En." Duan Yun responded.

In fact, the main reason why Duan Yun wanted to go back to his hometown in Northeast China was not to travel or visit his relatives in his previous life, but to find his relatives in his previous life and the parents of his girlfriend Xiao Luo.

Both Duan Yun and Ronaldinho’s previous parents’ families were in the Northeast. Duan Yun still remembers the names, work units and addresses of Ronaldinho’s parents. When the two lived together, Ronaldinho told him many things about her childhood.

In addition, these cities are not far away, so Duan Yun can take advantage of this winter vacation to drop by...
