Chapter 030: Taking Pictures
The village chief explained to her for a long time, but the explanation was vague and vague, and Chunyang still didn't understand it all.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the school, as long as you have the money.
However, this salary will not be received tomorrow or next month, and it will not be available until the beginning of the next semester, and there are still a lot of things to arrange during this period.
Dabao's daughter-in-law will be able to come to the school to teach this month, and if she gets paid next semester, Teacher Liu is likely to come back, and the school has three teachers in class, which will be much more formal.
Chunyang has made some inches, and after solving the problem of teachers, she hopes that the village chief can find a way to solve the classroom problem.
Stretching out his hand to pick up a handful of rainwater, Chunyang frowned and said, "Village Chief, you go in and take a look." It's raining heavily outside and it's raining lightly in the house, and we can't go to class at all, so let's find a way to make up for the roof?"
The school house has been around for many years, not only is the roof leaking, but the whole house is a little tilted, and the wind is too strong to blow down, which is indeed very dangerous.
The village chief also led the village to repair several times, but the house was too old to be repaired again.
Of course, the village chief knew what was going on in the school, but he still listened to Chunyang's words and turned around and glanced into the classroom.
There were four or five leaks in the classrooms of grades 1 to 3, and the students vacated these places, and the desks and chairs were put together until there were no leaks, and the leaked rainwater fell directly on the dirt floor, and the potholes became muddy.
"I heard that several villages in our township have built new schools, and the township has given some money. I will also go to the township a few times when I go back, but if I can't do it, I will go to the county and find a way to build a new primary school for our village", the village chief stood up and shook off the big mud stuck to his shoes and said casually.
He said it casually, but Chunyang heard it in his heart.
When she came home in the evening, before she had time to share about the school, she first heard Zhien talk about a major decision at home.
Zhi'en and Cao Peiyu discussed and decided to go to the town's photo studio to take a few photos together.
So far, there is not a single photo at home, and they can only rely on memory to miss the deceased Guo Houze. Memory will eventually be lost to the years, and it is definitely better to remember a person's voice and smile for a longer time, and to leave some photos.
"I'll go this Saturday if the weather is good, and I'll talk to my eldest sister when I go back, and she'll go with us. The last Zhien said.
It must be set on Saturday to accommodate her, and Chunyang's heart is warm.
Cao Peiyu and Zhien prepared for a few days for this trip, and the original plan was to borrow a cart from the Erbao family to push their grandmother and Zhili, but Cao Yun said that it was too laborious, and it would take two days to go back and forth, and Li Yonggang could catch the Li family's car to send them there.
That's the Li family's livestock, not Li Yonggang's livestock, Cao Yun and Li Yonggang don't count, they have to use Li Guangzhu or Li Guilan to loosen their mouths.
Cao Peiyu knew that Cao Yun's life in the Li family was not easy, Li Guangzhu and his wife did not get along well, and she didn't want Cao Yun to have a conflict with her in-laws over such a matter, so she resolutely disagreed to use the Li family's carriage.
Before the mother and daughter could discuss the result, Zhien solved the problem first.
When he borrowed a board car from Erbao, Erbao took the initiative to drive them there.
Erbao's family is an ox cart, which is not as fast as the horse-drawn cart, but it is more stable.
People are willing to help, but Zhien can't let Jiabai help, he knows that Erbao also wants a radio like Cao Yun, so he promised Erbao to pick up the radio in the future and repair it and give it to him.
Everyone is happy with the arrangement, and no one has to worry about it anymore.
The weather was particularly good on the day of departure, and Erbao drove the ox cart over early in the morning to have breakfast with the Guo family.
Before breakfast was finished, Cao Yun and Li Yonggang came over together, and Li Yonggang explained that he didn't take a photo when he married Cao Yun, and just went to take a few photos with them.
Cao Yun, who had already eaten breakfast, went to the kang and ate again, but Li Yonggang refused to eat anymore, and went out to find work with great discernment.
The most troublesome thing to go out is grandma, her legs and feet are inconvenient, she can't control her urine and urine, and she has to bring a lot of things to go out.
Grandma and Zhili got into the car, and then put the messy things on it, and there was not much space left in the car, and the others could only follow the ox cart.
Arriving at Songlai Town at noon, they found a place to eat some dry food and water they had brought, and then went to the photo studio together.
When Cao Yun and Cao Peiyu were sorting out their grandmother's clothes and hair, their grandmother sighed vigorously, saying that she hadn't taken a picture for many years, and that the previous camera was not like this.
Everyone can see how happy Grandma is, and the people who took pictures said that Grandma smiled the best, so that everyone else could learn from Grandma.
It is not easy for people to take pictures to see their family come over, and they will take special dedication, they will teach everyone to pose, and they will teach them how to laugh and shoot to look good, so when they finish taking pictures, it is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Grandma didn't want to live outside, so everyone had to hurry up and try to walk less at night.
Probably because this trip was too toss-up, and after returning home, my grandmother began to feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't drink the porridge, so she could barely drink some warm water.
After that, she insisted on making clothes, and no matter who persuaded her, she said, "I have to finish it quickly, or it will be too late." ”
What's too late?
She doesn't say it, and everyone knows it in their hearts.
Cao Peiyu cried several times behind her back, Chunyang wanted to comfort her, but Zhien grabbed her and said, "Don't care, let her cry, she will definitely hold back her tears in the past." ”
A few days later, Zhien went to the town to retrieve the photo, and by the way, he picked up a broken radio, and finally fulfilled his promise to Erbao.
Grandma took care of the whole family in color for a long time, and while watching it, she recalled the events of the day when she took the photo, and her smile was always on her face, and she looked much more energetic than in the previous days.
The good times didn't last long, and in the evening of the next day, grandma suddenly died.
There were no last words, no explanation, and grandma left very peacefully.
Cao Peiyu cried on her grandmother for a long time, and the juniors were also crying beside her, even Zhili.
Grandma wanted to embroider on the shroud, but unfortunately it was not completed. Cao Peiyu put on a plain shroud for her grandmother, and carefully combed her grandmother's hair, so that her grandmother could walk clean and energetic.
Chunyang went to clean up his grandmother's old clothes and belongings, and was stunned to find a pocket watch with a very old sense from the underwear he had just changed. The chain of the pocket watch has been broken, the words are gone, only a small photo attached to the inner lid is still intact, only the inevitable dark color of the years.
The woman in the photo is not very beautiful, but her smile is very gentle and friendly.
Chunyang showed the pocket watch to Cao Peiyu, Cao Peiyu hesitated for a long time while holding the pocket watch, but still didn't put the watch on her grandmother.
"For so many years, your grandmother has been carrying it on her body, and she didn't say who the person above her was, thinking that she was a very important person. She didn't say what to do with it, so let's stay and think about it, just in case..."
In case Cao Peiyu didn't have time to say anything, Zhili, who had been crying, suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed in pain, and the entire Guo family was completely messed up.
