Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 241 What the future looks like (colorful)

Tiny's life with her mother was very boring.

Her mother didn't like to talk, she was very silent and would only speak when necessary.

And every time he spoke, he would always sound nagging, which made people feel a little irritated.

And her attitude towards Tini is not very good. If I use one word to describe it, it would be more "cold".

Her mother was often busy with her own affairs and her own life, thus forgetting the fact that Tini existed in the family.

Chen Pingsheng only stayed for one afternoon and already felt what Tini said.

This also made him begin to understand why Tiny wanted to escape from this home.

"Tini, you should find a job." At this time, she was sitting at the table with her mother. The rays of the setting sun filtered through the kitchen window, casting different shadows on the table.

"Why should I look for a job?" Tini looked reluctant.

Her mother rubbed her brows: "I don't have any money and can't support you, so you'd better find a job as soon as possible to support yourself."

Tiny sighed, feeling truly fed up with this rhetoric.

But her mother didn't seem to notice her emotions, but continued to babble: "My health is not very good. I just went for a checkup yesterday. Damn it, those doctors are like maggots, staring at poor people like me." Suck blood.

"It's best for you to have a doctor friend in the future, so you can save some money."

"I don't even go to school, where can I get a doctor friend?" Tini couldn't help but retort after hearing this.

"If you don't go to school, can't you have doctor friends? You can't be like me, Tini..." Mother seemed to not know what to say. She was too far away from society, and she didn't even open the Internet often. Except when voting, she is completely voiceless in society.

There are still many such people in the United States. They live in isolation and work every day just to make ends meet. They are the silent majority.

Tiny lay on the table, not wanting to chat with her mother anymore.

The mother was also a little helpless, sighed, and suddenly looked at Chen Pingsheng's camera.

"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng decisively captured this scene because this is a true portrayal of the mother and daughter.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Tini's mother suddenly stood up and came to the stove: "It's time to eat, what do you eat? Well, we only have macaroni and spaghetti at home. This is my food for the week. If you If you want to eat, I can cook it for you."

"No, madam, we have food ourselves." Chen Pingsheng rejected Tini's mother's kindness.

"Really don't need it? Tini, what about you?"

"I won't eat!" Tini stood up angrily and walked out of the house first.

"This kid is really..." Tini's mother took out a piece of pasta and put it into the pot.

Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao followed Tini out and found her in the corner of the yard.

"Tini, I understand you a little bit." Even an outsider like Chen Pingsheng felt the suffocation everywhere in this family, let alone Tini living here every day.

Tiny hugged her legs and sat on the bench without speaking.

Huang Liao took some instant noodles from his bag and came over, placing them one by one on the wooden table.

"Which one do you want? Tini?" Chen Pingsheng pushed the instant noodles to her. Tini glanced at it and chose the pickled cabbage and beef noodles.

Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao went to a Chinese supermarket to buy these instant noodles because they were really not used to American instant noodles.

I don’t know why, when I’m abroad, I always want to eat something from my hometown.

Just like when I'm at home, I also like to eat some foreign food.

After tearing open the package, Tini saw that there was no hot water, so she returned to the house and took the pot that her mother had just made, despite her mother's obstruction.

The three people poured hot water into the instant noodle bucket, and the heat quickly filled the middle of them.

"I will leave here." Tiny said suddenly.

She always pursed her lips, completely unable to see the cheerfulness she had when she was around Kevin and the others.

Chen Pingsheng nodded and did not dissuade him, because he knew that although this was not the best way, it was at least the freest way.

It has always been Tini's long-cherished wish to escape from such a rigid, indifferent, and even slightly selfish mother.

She must have prayed countless times in her heart to grow up as soon as possible and reach adulthood.

The instant noodles were ready quickly, and the aroma replaced the heat and reached everyone's noses.

Tiny stirred it with a spoon, then put the noodles into her mouth, and then frowned.

"Are you used to eating it?" Chen Pingsheng laughed. Not everyone likes the taste of sauerkraut.

But after the initial shock to her taste buds, Tini took a few more bites and started to get used to it: "Fortunately, this taste is really unique."

"In China, there are more foods with unique tastes." Huang Liao said.

"Really?" Tini ate the noodles thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

"I'll bring you some other delicious food next time, maybe you'll like it too."

"Okay, but no preserved eggs."

“The preserved eggs are delicious.”

"That's simply devil's food, how can it be delicious?"

"Well, this is really a stereotype of preserved eggs..."
-
The next day, Chen Pingsheng and the two came to Tini's house again after resting for a night in a small town motel.

When Chen Pingsheng entered the living room, Tini was lying on her mother's lap, listening to her chatter.

"Chen, you're here." Tini remembered when she saw him.

But Chen Pingsheng advised: "Don't move, don't worry about me, just show your daily life."

As he spoke, he took out his camera and held it up.

"Okay." Tini lay back honestly.Tini's mother looked at the camera and said, "I used to have a camera, but then I sold it to eat. So I didn't take any photos of Tini."

Tini responded impatiently: "Yes, I understand."

"It would be great if I still have the camera. I can take a photo album for Tini." Tini's mother still refused to stop talking.

Chen Pingsheng looked at Tini helplessly. Just when he was about to press the shutter, he suddenly heard a man's voice coming from the bedroom.

"Where's my belt?"

"Is there someone there?" Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao looked at each other. This was an unexpected situation.

Then they saw a middle-aged man coming out of the corridor with his pants pulled up. His thick black hair was messy on his head, his eyebrows were thick, and his face looked a little impatient.

"Click." Chen Pingsheng recorded this scene.

"Where is my belt?" the man continued to ask loudly.

Tini's mother looked back: "Are you in the bathroom, dear?"

"Okay, I'll go take a look." The man just turned around and suddenly spotted Chen Pingsheng and the two of them. He frowned and asked, "Who is this?"

"My friend!" replied Tiny.

The man shrugged: "Okay." Then he went to the bathroom to find a belt.

"Who is he?" When Tini walked out of the living room, Chen Pingsheng followed her and asked.

Tini spread her hands: "I don't know either."

"?" Chen Pingsheng looked puzzled, and so did Huang Liao.

Tini sighed: "He is my mother's boyfriend, that's all I know."

"That's it." Chen Pingsheng suddenly realized.

Then Tini added: "And it's the boyfriend we were with just last night."

Chen Pingsheng paused for a moment: "Uh, okay."

"No wonder you don't recognize him." He smiled bitterly, feeling that he was making a fuss.

Because Tini's mother and boyfriend were at home, Tini didn't want to stay at home, so she took Chen Pingsheng and the two of them to wander around the neighborhood.

"What is that?" Chen Pingsheng suddenly saw a Ferris wheel in the distance.

"I went to the amusement park when I was a kid." Tini raised her eyes and looked to the horizon.

"So, are you still interested now?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

Tini raised her lips: "Of course."

"Wow!"

Chen Pingsheng stood under the carousel and found it quite interesting to see Tini and Huang Liao sitting on it and shouting.

After all, Tini is still a child, and her preferences are not much different from those of other people her age.

It's just that life suppressed her needs and disciplined her into what she is now.

While waiting for the two of them to play, Chen Pingsheng turned around and looked at the various facilities in the amusement park, and suddenly found a doll shop next to it.

"Boss, how do you sell this?" He walked to the stall and asked, pointing to a pony.

The boss in the floral shirt picked it up and said, "Ten dollars."

5 minute later.

"Chen?" Tini couldn't help but shout after she got off the merry-go-round and didn't see Chen Ping.

"Here." A voice came from behind her.

Tiny turned her head, and what she saw was not a human figure, but a fluffy-looking pony doll.

"Wow!" She took it in surprise, then hugged it tightly and looked at Chen Pingsheng: "Did you buy it?"

"Of course, I'll give it to you." Chen Pingsheng smiled.

"Thank you!" Tini hugged her tighter, and her expression gradually softened from the excitement at the beginning.

Her eyes were looking into the distance, as if she was imagining what her future would look like.

"Click!" Chen Pingsheng's camera always recorded faithfully.

He was sincerely relieved to see her so happy. Although he couldn't change her fate, he could at least add some brightness to her boring life.

"Let's go on to the next event." Chen Pingsheng waved his hand and asked the two girls to follow.

"Chen, you can play with us too." Tini held the pony in her hands and raised her head and said.

Huang Liao on the side also nodded in agreement.

Chen Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, looked at the girly amusement facilities, and said, "Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey, ladies."
-
When the sunlight in the sky gradually disappeared under the edge of the city, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao took Benike's car and headed for the city.

They are about to end this journey and return to the country.

Huang Liao rolled down the car glass and let her hair blow randomly on her cheeks. The sunset reflected the sky, leaving a color in her eyes.

"Will Tiny get better in the future?" she suddenly asked in a low voice.

Chen Pingsheng and she were looking at the scenery in the opposite direction, with low buildings passing by, looking very desolate.

After hearing Huang Liao's question, he narrowed his eyes: "I hope it will get better."

As he spoke, vehicles drove through the neighborhood, leaving a patch of mud in their wake.
