In an era where communication technology was not advanced, graduation photos were still very important.
After today’s farewell, some people might never have the chance to meet each other again in their lifetime.
Unlike later generations, where you can keep in touch through WeChat, QQ; back then, even big cell phones weren’t produced yet!
Hence, Ni Yang brought her family’s camera specially today.
After the graduation picture, she could also take individual photos with other classmates.
"Yangyang, take several more pictures for us," Han Xiaoyu urged as she and a female classmate struck the classic ’scissor hands’ pose.
"Okay," Ni Yang pressed the shutter and took several shots.
At that time, not many families could afford a camera, so more and more classmates came to Ni Yang for photos.
Ni Yang did not refuse anyone, fulfilling everyone’s requests regardless of gender.
After the photos, Ni Yang also collected everyone’s home addresses, planning to mail the developed pictures later.
Seeing that Ni Yang was also going to handle the mailing, classmates started offering money.
Film for the camera and postage costs money, doesn’t it?
Ni Yang declined with a smile, "Consider it a graduation gift from me."
This was an excellent opportunity to establish connections.
Class Five students had performed exceedingly well, and their future prospects were boundless!
Even the most unremarkable one now had endless possibilities in the future!
You should never underestimate anyone at any time.
After taking photos, a few teachers were especially happy and planned to treat the whole class to a meal, which was essentially a parting gathering, as it would be difficult to get everyone together like this again after today.
Hearing that teachers were treating them, all the classmates were overjoyed and cheered immediately.
Several teachers took everyone to a state-owned restaurant.
Though teachers’ salaries weren’t high at the time, their class had a country’s top scorer, and the overall college entrance rate was very good, so there would definitely be rewards from above. Hence, the teachers didn’t skimp on ordering—anything on the menu was fair game, and they ordered more than twenty dishes of meat alone.
With sixty people in Class Five, plus the teachers making it over sixty, twenty dishes wasn’t a lot for teenagers with big appetites.
