Perhaps Pei Yining's expression was too serious, Xu Nian'an also realized that his recent behavior had been somewhat inappropriate.
"Yining, don't be mad, my older brother just meant to say, don't you need that what do you call it, developer or something to develop pictures? He was thinking, maybe my brother and I should cover those material costs."
Xu Nianhua earnestly explained to Xu Nian'an, "Film itself is not cheap, and if we also have to cover the cost of developing materials, my brother and I wouldn't feel right about it, would we?"
"The materials don't cost much," Pei Yining responded with a smile after hearing Xu Nianhua's explanation.
Xu Nianhua blinked, his eyes seemingly saying, "I'm not a three-year-old kid, don't try to fool me."
In those days, cameras were extremely precious items, costing at least four to five hundred each, with the expensive ones going over a thousand. For ordinary families, just the thought of buying one was unimaginable.
