Reborn next door twins first grow up

Chapter 105 An Old Negative Film
In the corridor of Building S, a layer of rainwater had accumulated on the steps, and the floor of the marble slab was wet and slippery.

Lu Man, Wang Xue'ai, and the Gu family twins carefully bypassed the water damage and went around to the space behind the stairs. This place seems to be unified throughout the country, and it is always used as an open space for piles of debris.

They checked the publicity boards placed one by one.

"A corner of the KT board is broken." Wang Xueai picked up a broken piece of plastic foam, "It seems that the glass door and window were not closed, and the wind caused it."

Lu Man checked the remaining materials: "The others are all right, is this one broken?"

"Well, Haiqu's evil wind is really hard to guard against, it can even blow in from the corridor."

"I'll move upstairs and stick the tape on the back so I won't delay using it tomorrow."

Several people climbed up the stairs to the fourth floor. Opposite the editing classroom they borrowed, there was a computer room laboratory with the door open, and the incandescent lights were brightly lit.

Wang Xueai probed curiously: "It's so late, who else is making things?"

Passing the door of this laboratory, Wang Xueai saw an acquaintance, Yang Zekai, a first-year advertising student of the School of Journalism and Communication.

"Xiao Kai?" Wang Xue'ai called out, "What kind of film are you editing again? As for working overtime?"

Yang Zekai was busy at a gray desk with his head down. He raised his head when he heard this, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Sister Xiaoai, and Brother Lu." He was overjoyed, "That's great, it's too late today, I'm going to do it here by myself, and I'm thinking of inviting you tomorrow, and I want to trouble you with something."

He spread his palm and swept around, pointing to several other people in the classroom.

"They wanted to process a photo, and they came to me. I thought Brother Lu and Sister Xiao Ai had been working on this for the past two days..."

"What's your situation?"

Wang Xueai walked into the classroom and looked at the other people in the classroom. There were three students, two men and one woman, plus a middle-aged man in blue cloth clothes.

"I remember, you are a student of the School of Ideology and Politics, right?"

She had an impression of one of the boys: "I went to the photo studio next to Wenze's dormitory, where you worked part-time."

"It's me, senior sister, hello."

"I only want the electronic version, and I'll be charged an extra ten yuan!" Wang Xueai said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

The student said embarrassingly: "Senior sister... I'm sorry, but it's not our fault. The price is determined by the boss. We are part-time workers, so we can't talk about it."

Lu Man took a step forward, and Yang Zekai also knew someone. He was the first to start, mistaking himself as a "senior brother and senior".

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Seeing his "Brother Lu" speaking, Yang Zekai's expression was relieved, as if the problem had already been solved, and he felt at ease.

"Brother, I went to the photo studio of Dongsheng Garden in the afternoon to restore a photo, but the staff in the photo studio judged that this job is very difficult, the asking price is relatively high, and the effect is not guaranteed..."

Everyone's eyes focused on the elder brother he was talking about.

The middle-aged man in the blue cloth clothes stood cautiously against the wall. After seeing everyone, he first bowed his body to each of them and nodded his head twice.

His cheekbones are protruding, the cheeks on both sides are sunken, his skin is black and yellow like a stretch of barren mountains, full of ravines, and his face is barren.

With a thin figure, he was dressed in the blue cloth clothes that rural commune members often wear. He was not too fat, so it looked loose and did not fit him.

"This is the eldest brother?" Gu Jiaer was puzzled, "Looking at the age, should I call you uncle?"

A well-proportioned person with underdeveloped muscles is lean.As for Wang Chunfa, he is literally skinny.

"It's late at night, so I'm bothering you." The man said awkwardly, "My name is Wang Chunfa, and I'm here to see a doctor for my family, Dada."

"The old man is seriously ill, and I don't have much to think about. I will go back to the village and clean up the main house of my hometown to make room for it."

The people present were silent, and the atmosphere became low.

Clean up the hall of my hometown. According to the general custom here, it is to decorate the mourning hall.

"The family has built a new house, and the old house has not been lived in for more than ten years. When I packed things that day, hey, I found a photo of my mother when she was young in the corner."

Wang Chunfa stretched his neck to look at the gray desk, and Lu Man followed him. There was a piece of black exposure film on the desk.

"When my mother was young, she didn't take a few photos. Most of this one was taken when she traveled to Chengguan not long after she and I Dada got married."

Dada means "father" in the local dialect.

"I think it doesn't matter how much it costs." Wang Chunfa rubbed his chapped hands, "Let Dada see his mother again when he is dying."

"Uncle..." Lu Man said.

"Student, you can just call me by my name." Wang Chunfa bowed his waist, he couldn't bear it, "I am 29 years old this year."

"Hey..." All the girls present whispered.

The imaginary age is 29, that is to say, Wang Chunfa, who is only 28 years old, doesn't matter how old they are, but he looks like he is in his 50s and [-]s.

"Brother..." Lu Man was stunned for a moment, his expression returned to normal, and he continued, "This is the negative of the camera."

"Oh, that's right, it's a negative, and the owner of the photo studio also said it was a negative." Wang Chunfa nodded hastily. "Can it be turned into a photo? Money... money is not a problem..."

Hearing the hidden embarrassment in Wang Chunfa's words, Lu Man asked Yang Zekai: "What do the bosses and employees of the photo studio say?"

"It's hard." Yang Zekai replied.

He pointed to the two men and a woman next to him.

"They are the part-time directors of Dongshengyuan Photo Studio, Niu Ben, Liu Qicheng, and Ju Xiaoyu."

Niu Ben is a stout boy with a height of 1.8 meters. His small hanging eyes make him appear to have no sense of integrity. He said: "The photo studio is so busy recently that customers have to queue up. Our boss is unwilling to accept this order. Because I have to go to the wedding photography shop that I cooperate with, and repair it according to the most exquisite photo specifications."

Liu Qicheng looks like a star student, with milky skin and thin-rimmed glasses: "This negative film is what photographers often call a negative film. The light and dark colors and the real image are completely opposite."

The woman on the negative, with her hair in a bun, looks just married, in her twenties.Her hair was supposed to be black, but in the negative, it was white upside down.

Mottled by the years and sporadic dust stains are everywhere on this dilapidated negative.

There is also a hole in the eye, which seems to have been pierced by things scattered on the ground, such as sharp stones or branches.

"The boss's asking price is also high, 180 per buy." Liu Qicheng's tone was a little aggrieved, "I'm from the Institute of Political Science and Political Science, and the part-time job in the photo studio is just a helper, learning the fur of photography and art. But according to my analysis, even if it's repairing negatives, it can't be done. It’s not worth the price.”

"No, we found Xiaokai's younger brother. He is a journalism institute and specializes in this." Niu Ben said. , There is a studio in the school that refines ID photos, the technology is excellent, and the price is relatively high. With your help, maybe the negatives can be repaired."

"Brother?" Gu Jiaer wrapped her arms gently around Lu Man's arms after listening, "Let's try it, shall we?"

"Well." Lu Man looked at the twin sisters, "It may take a while, you go back first, or here..."

"Brother, let's wait here." Gu Lingyi slightly opened her lips and looked at Lu Man, with cheer and encouragement in her eyes, "I still want to see how brother can fix it."

Lu Man smiled: "You don't even know whether this thing is difficult or not, and how sure you are. What if you stay here to see my joke?"

"impossible."

Gu Lingyi shook her head, and stared at Lu Man with shining eyes: "Because it's my brother who did it, so it can be done~"
