However, Five's enthusiasm for the camera was beyond Li He's expectations. At the very least, she finished reading the instruction manual carefully.
She was not afraid of the weight of such a heavy camera. She hung it around her neck and took pictures of everything she saw. There was no fixed focus or concept, only a clicking sound.
She took Da Huang to wander around the mountaintop and the beach. Da Huang was the center of the composition.
This way, there was obviously not enough film. That day, she used up two rolls of film without any trouble.
With every click, a few dollars were gone. Li He wanted to remind her to use it sparingly, but seeing how excited she was, he couldn't be bothered to dampen her spirits. It wasn't like he couldn't afford it.
There weren't many things that could make this girl calm down.
Five fiddled with it while Four accompanied her to develop the film.
"Let me see."
Li He was more interested in what she had photographed. However, when he examined the film, he realized that the density of the film was rather high. There wasn't the most transparent part of the film, and he couldn't see any texture on the densest part. The shadow lines on the densest part weren't clear either. This was due to overexposure.
"The film is useless. Learn it well. It'll look better when you're done with it. "
It wasn't easy to learn how to use this type of DSLR. It was normal for it to be damaged.
"Really?" Five looked at Li He, a little disappointed.
Li He said, "There's plenty of film. Take your time to practice."
The women were busy preparing for the reunion dinner at home. He was bored and wandered around. He didn't hear the deafening sound of firecrackers in the fishing village nearby.
The Spring Festival in Hong Kong was relatively cold and simple.
In a small place like Hong Kong, it wouldn't take more than three hours to travel from one place to another. Therefore, it was very common for families to gather for a meal. It was to the extent that the meaning of the Spring Festival seemed to be more about having a sumptuous meal than about the reunion itself.
No one deliberately spent a lot of money to prepare for the New Year. There were no firecrackers, and there was no red sea of couplets pasted on every house.
In the evening, He Fang and Four cooked a sumptuous meal. The main dish was dumplings and rice. However, Li He had learned his lesson from the past and was determined not to touch the dumplings. There must be coins in them. It was not fun to break one's teeth. Once bitten, twice shy.
There were also many dishes on the table, such as pork dumplings with chives, steamed pork ribs, chicken steamed bowls, and spicy sausages. Li He liked the pork stewed with vermicelli the most.
He Fang had obviously put a lot of effort into this dish. Li He felt that the vermicelli was more delicious than the meat. The vermicelli could absorb the taste of the pork soup. It was very soft and tough with a good taste.
Normally, He Fang would spend most of his time on the children and would not have the time to study food.
After the meal, Four and Five actually wrapped a red packet for Li He. Li He was very comforted and He Fang was very happy.
The two girls stayed by the phone and dialed the village committee's number every few minutes. Unfortunately, the call did not go through even once.
This was the second time the two of them had spent the New Year outside.
There was nothing much to watch on TV. ATV's get-together was the kind where people sang and danced, and no one was willing to watch it. The four of them played mahjong until midnight. It was considered the end of the New Year's Eve, and it ended with Li He losing money again.
In the morning, they woke up early again and had another sumptuous meal.
During the meal, Li He asked, "Have you prepared the red packets? Not only for Old Yu's children, but also for Old Shen's children. Sister Jiang and the rest can't be missed out. "
When someone congratulated them, red packets were inevitable. One had to do as the Romans did.
He Fang said, "I've prepared them. How much do you think I should give? "
"Sister Jiang and the rest can just give 30 to 50 yuan, but we can't give less for Old Yu's children."
"That's true." Yu Dehua and the rest were very generous, so they would definitely give a lot of red packets to Li Lan. Including Four and Five's, they would have to return them eventually. He Fang pondered and said, "How much do you think I should give?"
"I'll give each child 10,000."
He Fang suddenly said, "Auntie Yu is there. We have to go there first, right?"
"No need." Li He waved his hand and said, "Let's go tomorrow."
Putting Yu Dehua aside, Shen Daoru, Paquan, Wu Shuping and the rest would definitely come. It wouldn't be good to leave them empty-handed.
Just as they finished eating and were about to leave the table, Sister Jiang came.
She cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, congratulations on your arrival."
Usually, when teasing someone, they would say, "Congratulations on your arrival, Mr. Li."
However, she was facing her employer after all, so it wouldn't be good for her to be thick-skinned.
"Thank you, thank you." He Fang and Li He each gave a red packet.
Sister Jiang accepted the red packet with a smile and naturally began to clean up the place.
The second person to come was the driver. If Li He wanted to use the car, he wouldn't want to delay him.
Following his congratulations, Li He and his wife each gave a red packet.
Yu Dehua and the others seemed to have made an appointment. They all came one after another, their heels sticking to each other.
However, after entering the door, they all said, "Congratulations on your arrival, Mr. Li." They didn't stand on ceremony at all.
Yu Dehua had two children with him. The two children had been growing taller in the past two years, and the older girl was taller than Yu Dehua.
Shen Daoru had brought his wife and children with him. His wife was of medium height and had a delicate face. She just kept sizing up Li He and his wife. Before coming, she had been warned by Shen Daoru not to talk nonsense.
She was curious about how powerful the Li family was for her husband to be so humble. Shen Daoru rarely talked about business matters with her, but she was clear about her husband's capabilities. He was already a big shot in Hong Kong. When she went out, she would be surrounded by people, and people would have to respectfully call him Mr. Shen. Even if he went out to buy a pair of nail clippers, he would still have the aura of a star surrounding the moon.
Unconsciously, she had developed an arrogant temperament. She was not used to suddenly bowing down to others. Therefore, when He Fang teased the children in her arms and exchanged parenting experiences with her, she was not very open with her words.
Today, Xiao Quan was wearing a suit and tie, covering up the tattoo below his neck. He had also brought his wife and child with him. He couldn't get a word in front of the big shots, so he could only give his wife a look. Shen Daoru's wife was not easy to get along with, so you should quickly go and hug her leg.
His wife, Ke Amei, was a pretty and shrewish girl when she was young. Now, she runs a mahjong house. She has big cheeks and naturally has a glib tongue. She praised Li Lan, who was still in the cradle, to the skies.
He Fang knew that these words were to coax people, but she couldn't help but love to hear it.
In return, she naturally praised the little boy in Ke Amei's hand.
But she still liked to talk to Wu Shuping. People always like to find people with common interests.
Li He chatted with Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru for a while and brought them into the study. He was puzzled when he saw the invitation they handed over.
The mainland had invited the two of them to participate in a foreign trade conference after the New Year. Li He was not surprised that they could participate in such a conference. After all, with their current status, they were fully qualified to participate in such a conference.
Last year was not an easy year. From the old industrial base in the northeast to the coastal export-oriented enterprises, one company after another suffered losses. In the whole country, less than one-third of the enterprises were profitable. Many factories had stopped operating, and more than half of the workers were laid off.
The foreign trade conference was tough, and so was the statistics bureau.
Most people often heard the word "weak".
However, the two enterprises that Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru were in charge of were thriving. At the same time, they led the development of thousands of enterprises in the country. It was impossible for them not to attract attention.
What Li He was puzzled about was the way the invitation addressed the two of them. Yu Dehua was addressed as the General Manager of China Dida Group and Shen Daoru was addressed as the Executive Director of China Dida Group.
The invitation did not mention Golden Deer Group or Yuanda Group, but it mentioned the empty shell of China Dida Group. Li He had not received a reply from Pinsong as to whether Dida Group had been successfully registered or not.
The biggest question was, since Dida Group was mentioned, why was he not mentioned?
Yu Dehua asked, "Do you think we should go or not?"
Li He said unhappily, "Nonsense. Of course we're going."
Shen Daoru said, "Why do you think we're going to a conference?"
Li He said, "It's definitely not a bad thing. If it was a bad thing, it wouldn't be an invitation. Leave the invitation with me first. I'll think about it. "
After the lunch banquet, everyone had left. He could not figure out the crux of the matter no matter how he thought about it.
He could only discuss it with He Fang. He had to admit that in this aspect, He Fang was much better than him.
He Fang took the two invitations and looked at them carefully. Then, she smiled and said, "Someone is protecting you to prevent you from standing out. If you go, you might become a subordinate. But Old Yu and the rest are different. If they go, they might become partners. There's a big difference."
She rarely cared about Li He's business matters. Every day, she heard him talk about tens of millions of yuan. She felt that since she couldn't do anything about it, she might as well not care. She just needed to manage this small family well.
"Who can protect me?" The first person Li He thought of was Wang Hui.
He Fang seemed to see through his thoughts. She smiled and said, "No one in our class has that ability."
She immediately rejected it.
