Chapter 344

When they had arrived at the photo studio, Wen Rugui went to pay at the front desk.

In this day and age, having a photo taken was more luxurious than watching a movie.One document photo cost 34 cents and a full or partial portrait cost 42 cents.After Wen Rugui had paid, he came back with two receipts. Back then, the receipts had three copies. One copy for the photo studio to keep; one for the photographer; and one for the customers when they return to collect their photos.Photographer, “You two Went two individual portrait and one of the two of you, correct?”Having heard that, Wen Rugui’s eyelids quivered slightly.Before they came, he had only Wanted a photo of Tong Xuelu. But when he was paying, he Wanted a single one of hers, one of the two of them, and also Went her to have a photo of his.He seemed to have become very greedy.He wondered if she would think that he was asking for too much when she found out.Tong Xuelu didn’t think that much. They were here already. Might as well have a photo of them together.Three photos during one visit only went to show how wealthy and generous her boyfriend was!Wen Rugui let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Tong Xuelu did not object to it. He nodded at the photographer, “Yes, two singles and one dual.”Cameras were still the antique kind right now. It was the kind that had a thick, black piece of cloth over it. The kind that required the photographer to stick his head in it and check multiple times before the photo could be taken.It was already late when they left the photo studio and Tong Xuelu still needed to go and check in at the restaurant that night.She was not the manager and chef of the restaurant. She couldn’t be too hands off. She worried that the three at the restaurant couldn’t handle unexpected issues that may arise.Wen Rugui felt a bit regretful. He felt that they did not have enough time together but he understood.Besides, he needed to return to the base that afternoon anyway.He dropped Tong Xuelu back at the restaurant before he returned to the military compound longingly.Low and behold, the second he stepped foot inside his house, he heard an angry roar coming from the couch. “Kneel in front of me, you animal!”Wen Rugui, “? ?”Old Mr. Wen stared at him with his tiger-like eyes. “Kneel down!”Wen Rugui, “Grandpa, I can kneel, but can you at least let me know the reason?”Old Mr. Wen looked at him as though he was lower than animals.Old Mr. Wen picked up the cane next to him and was about to strike Wen Rugui with it.Uncle Zong quickly came up to stop him. “Commander, let’s talk it through first. You will be upset if he’s hurt from the beating.”Old Mr. Wen grunted. “I’ll be upset for someone like him?? How could you do such a thing? How could you do that to a girl in broad daylight?”Wen Rugui was befuddled. “What have I done?”Uncle Zong’s old face turned beet red. “Rugui, just admit to it. We’ve heard what was going on in your room this afternoon!”FOOM!!The tips of Wen Rugui’s ears turned red and he lowered his eyes and looked at the floor.With his reaction, Old Mr. Wen was even more certain that he had acted like an animal that afternoon. “Submit your request for marriage at the base when you return today. We will go and propose at the Tong’s after that!”Wen Rugui was stunned again. ? ? ?Marriage request?Proposal?“But I haven’t asked for her consent yet.”Old Mr. Wen was so angry that his goatee was short of sticking straight up. “Isn’t it a little late to talk about that now after what you have done to her?”Wen Rugui, “Grandpa, Xuelu was the one who suggested it.”Old Mr. Wen’s face was beet red from anger. “You are shameless! Are you still a man? How can you place the responsibility on the girl after such a thing!”Having said that, he was going to swing the cane at Wen Rugui again.
