It took three whole rows to fit everyone in.
The photographer stood in front, holding the camera, and shouted, "Everyone look at the camera! Smile! One, two, three!"
With a click, this group photo was later published in the city newspaper, with the headline: "Leaders from city, county, town, and village warmly visit the parents of Nobel Prize winner Yang Ping."
After taking the photo, Vice Mayor Li held Yang Deming's hand and sat down on the bamboo chair in the courtyard.
"Mr. Yang, your son, Yang Ping, has made a great contribution to the country, which is the pride of all our city residents. If you have any difficulties, just let us know. Any requests, just ask. We will do our best to solve them."
Yang Deming thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Mayor Li, for your concern. There are no difficulties, really. The country's development is so good now, and the people are living well, everything is fine, except..."
He paused and looked at Vice Mayor Li.
