Rebirth at the starting point of happiness
Chapter 74 Camera
"I went to school in the provincial capital, where I was more informed and where there were big changes. In the past six months, many people have been rehabilitated and returned. Many teachers in our school who were previously sent down to the countryside have returned to their original positions, and their children who were sent to the countryside and met the requirements have also returned.
Then you have to make arrangements when you come back, go to school, work. You said that there is no place for everyone now, and I will definitely find a way to solve it when the time comes. Isn't that an opportunity?"
After Su Qiuyue finished speaking, both of them frowned and thought, it was really like this. But when can it be arranged?
"You said there are so many people, all educated youth, you can't favor some over others. Then how are you going to select them? Exams?!" Sun Yanqiu opened her mouth in surprise and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting.
"If that's true, don't we all have a chance?" Sun Yanqiu got excited. There is always hope.
Even if I don't go back to the city, it is still a chance to escape from my current life.
"But with so many people, it's impossible for all of them to be selected, right?" There are quite a few educated youth.
"So, study hard. What if you have a chance to pass the exam? Even if you don't take the exam, it's better to read more books than to think about useless things all day long." Su Qiuyue advised.
Especially my eldest cousin, she is capable but she doesn't like to read. It's hard to get her to study.
But it's okay to just read the story and learn more about the truth.
"That's great. I happen to live in your house, so no one will see me. It saves me a lot of trouble.
Oh, good Qiuyue, you are really my benefactor." Sun Yanqiu rushed over to hug Su Qiuyue, but Su Qiuyue quickly pulled Xu Feng to stop her enthusiasm.
The three of them were now drawn together, laughing and joking, and all the previous emotions had passed.
When Xinyue came back from holiday, the two sisters kissed each other again.
The holiday is finally here. Xinyue and her sister haven’t seen each other for half a year. They are so close to each other that she doesn’t even go out for several days. She is reluctant to leave her sister’s side.
Su Qiuyue also let her stick around, as she was also thinking about her sister. While cooking and putting away the food she brought back, she chatted with her and learned about her life at school.
Although the two of them always corresponded, they never talked in as much detail as they did in a face-to-face chat.
Sun Yanqiu was studying enthusiastically and pulled Xu Feng to learn with her. Xu Feng was not good at anything else, so she followed her brothers and sisters to do homework and learn some basics.
When Su Qiuyue came back, there were more people at home. She brought back a lot of food and cooked different meals for them every day.
She was away, there was no space, and their food supply was reduced. It was just right for her to come back for the holiday, so she could satisfy their cravings.
As for where they bought it from, the provincial capital was so big that it was possible to buy anything. She took out the wild fruits from the space and kept them for two days before giving them to them.
The little ones wish they could stay at her house every day. Every day when the eldest cousin comes home, there are delicious foods. Their pockets are full of snacks again.
"By the way, I bought a good thing this time. My brothers and sisters are on vacation, and we are all here. It's just right to make it before the New Year." Su Qiuyue suddenly remembered something and quickly told everyone.
"What?" Xu Feng asked her.
Su Qiuyue took out a camera from the cabinet under the pretext of searching. Several people in the family were stunned and quickly gathered around to take a look.
This camera is fully mechanical and relatively large. It is the best camera available today.
"Camera?! Oh my god, how much does this cost?" Xu Feng and Sun Yanqiu were both shocked.
"This thing is hard to buy even if you have money, right?" Sun Yanqiu knew that this was not a common item.
"It must be your classmates who helped buy it, right? It's a good thing." Without Su Qiuyue's answer, Sun Yanqiu thought of ways she could buy it.
"That's too expensive. Why buy it?" Xu Feng shook his head. This was a lot of money.
"I just thought it would be convenient to take photos. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go to a photo studio once a year. When I get old, I won't even remember what I looked like when I was young.
If we buy one, we can have as many people as we want. "Su Qiuyue felt that it was worth buying. Of course, it was because she could afford it. If eating was a problem, how could she have the spare money to buy this.
Su Qiuyue loaded the film according to the instructions on the big sheet. Since she had never taken photos before, she could only shoot based on her feelings.
After trying it twice with Xu Ling and Xu Kuan, Xu Feng felt sorry for the waste of film and refused to let her try again no matter what.
Knowing that they were going to take pictures, they all had to prepare well. Xu Feng led his brothers and sisters home and told his parents that they had to wash up well when they got home today.
Even Sun Yanqiu was in a hurry to boil water to wash her hair and change clothes.
The next day, I woke up early and started to wash and comb my hair. I braided and undid my two long braids several times.
I didn't think of using any background. Su Qiuyue took the best time of the day at noon when the sun was shining brightly. She took family photos at the doorstep and in the house of her cousin's family.
Everyone took a solo photo.
When it was her turn to take pictures, Xu Kuan was the only one in the family who dared to hold the camera to take pictures. I don't know if it was because he was fearless or because he was ignorant, but no one else dared or knew how to use such a precious thing.
As soon as Xu Kuan explained it, everyone understood, and Su Qiuyue felt comfortable letting him take the photos.
Although there were only a few people in total, Su Qiuyue was unsure of her skills, so she took two more photos for each person and the family portrait, just in case one was blurry, she could keep one as a backup.
If you take good pictures, you can keep them all. You don’t always have the chance to take pictures. Film is not cheap.
After they finished taking the photos, Su Qiuyue took her sister to take two more photos at home.
"Let's take more photos when we come back from summer vacation, go up the mountain and take photos. When you grow up, these will all be memories." Su Qiuyue packed up the camera and said to her sister.
Xinyue was extremely happy. She watched her sister carefully put away the camera and looked forward to taking pictures during next summer vacation.
Su Qiuyue and her sister had a very fulfilling year. It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. The two sisters cherished the time they spent together even more during the short separation.
Xinyue would sleep in the same bed with her sister every night, hug her sister and tell her about what happened at school.
Soon the New Year was approaching. Su Qiuyue took her sister to visit Old Man Zhao and brought some things to celebrate the New Year.
By the way, please ask him to give the other copy to Old Bellows.
Su Qiuyue also took photos of Old Man Zhao and said that she would take a few photos of him next time she went to look for the old bellows.
After the New Year, Su Qiuyue and Xinyue began to prepare things for the start of school.
All the clothes had been changed before the Chinese New Year. This time Su Qiuyue gave her aunt money and tickets, so she and her sister had to trouble her aunt to go to school.
The chickens in the family's vegetable garden were given to the eldest cousin. Su Qiuyue gave her eldest cousin money and asked her to bring a few eggs to Su Xinyue every week.
This time Su Qiuyue brought milk powder and malted milk. She left them at home, and the two children drank a cup every day, especially Xiaoling, who was weak and needed some food supplements. Su Qiuyue would send them home every month.
Sun Yanqiu can also help. She is particularly glad that she moved to Su Qiuyue's place early, otherwise she would have to hide out to study.
It is indeed a wise move.
It wasn't like she was trying to do something secretly, it was just their guess. It was hard to tell. There was also a scheming Song Xiaojuan in the Youth Farm, if they were to spread rumors, it would be a big trouble.
Su Qiuyue found an opportunity to go to the brigade warehouse and soaked the seeds in space spring water like last year. After finishing this matter, she can go to school without any worries.
"Cousin, this is the hawthorn that Uncle Zhao gave me. I boiled some cans. Take two bottles to school for your teacher."
Su Qiuyue and Xu Hui went to school together. Xu Hui had studied longer than her, and he had to continue studying after she graduated.
Besides, his teacher thinks highly of him. Xu Hui is an honest man and has never thought about giving gifts. Su Qiuyue felt very embarrassed when she said that.
"No need for that. My teacher is a good person. Giving gifts is also..."
"This is not a gift, it's a token of my appreciation. These are our own things, let the teacher have a taste. They are so kind to you, and you have nothing to repay them with, how can you express your gratitude by just saying thank you?"
Su Qiuyue taught him one sentence at a time. It was her aunt who asked her to do this. Her uncle and cousin didn't think of this at all.
Xu Hui finally understood after hearing this. But he still felt embarrassed to take his sister's things. In the past year or so of school, he not only learned a lot, but also had more experience than before.
For example, he used to just bury himself in his books and do his own work. He only did the farm work, and his father would do the carpentry work, or he would come to him for help.
So it was not easy to sell the gadgets I made for the first time after school. Gradually, I interacted with more people, figured out some tricks, and my mind became more flexible.
It's just that his personality is there, and he still does things in a simple and honest way.
"Don't be embarrassed. My aunt has troubled me and Xinyue with our clothes. Xinyue has to trouble my cousin to wash everything every week when she comes home. It's not clear how it works out.
Besides, let’s order some food.” Su Qiuyue quickly grabbed her cousin who didn’t know how to repay Su Qiuyue’s favor.
Canned hawthorns made at home. Wild fruits and mountain products she brought back. They were indeed things from home, and they were a token of her appreciation. Xu Hui accepted them.
Su Qiuyue was reluctant to leave, but she still left with Xu Hui.
The same old faces in the new semester, continuing the study progress of the previous semester. After the midterm exam, Su Qiuyue and her classmates began to learn anatomy and suture.
Frogs, rabbits, cats, and dogs all need to be made, as well as feeling the pulse, using Chinese and Western medicines. There are more and more things to memorize and master.
Su Qiuyue had finally adapted to the intensity of study last semester, but now she can't break it anymore. She can only use cheating space to ensure that she is always energetic.
Finally, we got through the difficult final semester. The teacher said that there will be more practical classes in the next semester, so they won’t be under so much pressure.
"Oh, Qiuyue is still the best. Not only did she pass all the subjects, but she also got excellent grades. Now I can go home and have a good rest."
"Yeah, I'm so envious. What should I do?"
"You only have to retake one subject, and we all have to take three. If you fail, you can forget about going home during the summer vacation."
Everyone else in the dormitory was under too much pressure this semester and had to retake several subjects. So Su Qiuyue was the only one who could go home during the holidays.
"I believe you will all go home in half a month. I will bring you some delicious food when you come back." Su Qiuyue said goodbye to her roommates and finally went home.
But this time when I came back, I could clearly feel that the atmosphere at home was not good.
"What's the matter? I felt you were weird when I came back yesterday. I was a little tired on the way so I didn't ask. Can you tell me today?"
Su Qiuyue came back from school and went to the warehouse. The coal that Da Zhang had prepared for her had been delivered, as well as rice seedlings and other grain seeds.
This time, we sent a lot of tents, kettles, enamel basins, and cups to the Sunai tribe.
Bowls, lunch boxes, etc. Su Qiuyue knew at a glance that they were military supplies.
Da Zhang also left a note to talk about cotton and hoped to get another batch next year. He also said it was for the troops. The seeds were also ready.
Just like last time, Su Qiuyue delivered the things up the mountain before returning home.
After they finished dinner, Su Qiuyue finally waited until they all had time before asking what happened.
"Well, let me tell you." Xu Feng tugged at his clothes and spoke.
"Xu Jing is dating someone." Xu Feng dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth.
Su Qiuyue was unable to react for a moment. She understood dating, but what did Xu Jing mean by dating?
"She dated him on her own. She was from the 11th Brigade. They've been doing it secretly for more than a year. We found out about it when he came to propose marriage.
My parents were stunned. They kicked her out and beat her up. Xu Jing always avoided tough situations. This time she threw herself at the stakes and had a big fight with my dad.
She was determined to marry into the 11th Brigade. "Xu Feng didn't know what had happened to her second sister. She was like a madman, insisting on marrying even though her father had beaten her like that.
"No, how did they know each other? Why do they have to get married?" Su Qiuyue was a little confused. According to the current rules, when children get married, they are arranged according to age.
The second cousin cannot get married before the eldest cousin gets married. The eldest sister is not married yet, so the second cousin should wait until the eldest cousin is settled before she can start talking about marriage.
What happened so suddenly?
"We met at the movies. We've been secretly dating for more than a year. This damn girl hid it so well that no one in the family found out.
The two of them were talking about marriage in private. If the matchmaker hadn't come to our house that day, we wouldn't have known about it at all." Xu Feng said weakly.
"If they're just dating normally, then just do it. Why are you hiding it? Why doesn't your cousin agree?" Su Qiuyue didn't understand why it was so messed up.
"Because her boyfriend is from the 11th Brigade, there is no way my father would agree." Xu Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Why?" Su Qiuyue really didn't know.
"Shanghe Village is at the foot of the mountain. No one would marry there unless their family conditions were too poor. The same is true for the rice-growing families in Xiahe Village.
Rice is planted in May and June, but how can we get water in May and June? But we have to plant rice in water there, and when it is dry, we have to carry water to irrigate the land, which is the hardest work in farming.
By the way, there is a place called Liansanwa where tobacco is grown. In early summer, you have to kneel on the ground to support the tobacco leaves, otherwise the leaves will break and it will be over.
When the tobacco leaves are ripe at the hottest time, we have to lie down and cut them. These places are hard places. Most people will not marry their daughters there. "Sun Yanqiu was explaining this to Su Qiuyue.
"Oh." Su Qiuyue finally understood what was going on. This cousin was also doing this for his daughter's good. It was impossible that Xu Jing didn't know?
"Then a beating will be enough. Anyway, they will have to wait until their uncle agrees. Why are you still reacting like this?" Su Qiuyue thought that a beating would be good, and it would mean that it would be over. Anyway, their uncle didn't agree, so they couldn't do anything.
"It would be great if it ended like this. Xu Jing stole the household registration booklet from home and went to the commune with someone else to get a marriage certificate." Xu Feng was struck by thunder, and Su Qiuyue was stunned.
It took a long time to find the sound.
"She...she...is she crazy?" Su Qiuyue didn't know what to say.
Nowadays, in rural areas, weddings are celebrated by announcing the event in the production team, and friends and relatives gather to celebrate, and the wedding is considered complete.
Although the marriage certificate was advertised, few people showed up. Xu Jing was cutting off the source of the trouble.
"What is she doing?" Su Qiuyue didn't understand. What kind of love was this? She had to be so desperate that she had to marry him even if it meant breaking up with her family. Was she afraid that she was the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
"It's my fault. I didn't want to get married so early and delay her." Xu Feng said quietly, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
"She said that? She's too much. What kind of person is she? Doesn't she know that her family is in financial difficulty?" Su Qiuyue didn't expect that she would actually think like this.
