The camera was well collected by the old man, and the outside was a layer of leather camera case, and the old man opened several buttons before and after carefully taking out the camera inside.

It was definitely an antique, with several knobs for adjusting the focal length, and one side of the camera was used to hold the film, and the old man opened the bundle of film that he had prepared in advance, and then began to make a gesture similar to taking a picture through the lens.

Lin Yu has never seen this kind of camera, and now there are not many digital cameras on the street, and many people have changed to take pictures directly with their mobile phones, not to mention this kind of old-fashioned camera that needs to be loaded with film and focus.

Lin Yu noticed that there was a logo on the camera, which seemed to say Dongfang, and he knew by listening to the name that it was a very old product, such as the former Phoenix brand bicycle and the Butterfly brand sewing machine. However, these brands with a sense of age make people feel very cordial when they hear it, as if seeing these brands of items reminds people of that innocent era, and now the brand names are very foreign, such as oppo, vivo brand mobile phones, which are deeply loved by young people.

The old man was very handy with all the operations of the camera, and she even pressed the shutter after adjusting the focus, and inadvertently photographed Lin Yu's somewhat embarrassing scene. The old man put the camera down from his eyes and said happily, "Fortunately, this camera still works." ”

Lin Yu was indeed embarrassed at this time, because just before coming to the hotel, he was still thinking in his heart that the old man might really have Alzheimer's disease, and he shouldn't have taken her out of his hometown so recklessly, if the old man got lost in the big city, it would be troublesome.

But now, what Lin Yu sees is an old lady who can play with an old-fashioned camera, which is definitely a great existence among her peers, after all, many old people now only dance square dances in the community.

The Oriental brand camera should have been bought a long time ago, and at that time, it was considered a petty bourgeois family to afford a camera, so when the old man was young, he was still a literary young woman who liked to travel and take pictures everywhere? Lin Yu found that he could not see the old man's true face more and more clearly, and his eyes now looked even more confused than the man in the soul state.

"Oh yes, today is Monday, are you going to class and can't accompany me?" The old man saw that Lin Yu had not answered, and then he remembered that the weekend had passed, and he was still a college student in school, so how could he accompany him every day.

However, Lin Yu immediately shook his head, he didn't worry about the old man wandering outside alone, anyway, he was ready to skip a day's class. "It's okay, I just didn't have class today, I can take you to the People's Liberation Army Academy," Lin Yu said with a smile.

The old man was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, she didn't go to the depths to find out that she didn't have to go to class on Monday, she couldn't wait to pack her things and go out.

Their way of travel is still to take the subway, because this is the most economical and fastest, Lin Yu checked that there is also a subway station near the People's Liberation Army Academy, and you only need to change the line once to reach the destination.

On Monday morning, the subway car was empty, so the old man and Lin Yu had seats all the time. The old man hung the camera around his neck, and some conflicting outfits caused some people to look sideways, and it could be seen that in their eyes, they all thought that this old man on the subway was very fashionable.

About forty minutes later, the subway stopped near the People's Liberation Army Academy, and the old man told Lin Yu that this academy was actually where her son used to go to school. The old man said that he wanted to take a few photos here, and wash them out and put them at home in the future, so that he could keep a memory.

The gate of the People's Liberation Army Academy is simple but majestic, with an eye-catching August 1 sign in the center, and a sentry stands straight at the door, his eyes under the brim of his black hat reveal a sense of determination.

Lin Yu was still standing at the door, and he was in awe of this place, although it was also a university, the PLA Academy and Yangcheng University had a completely different atmosphere. Students at Yangcheng University are free-spirited, often coming and going in groups at the gates, and many of them will have barbecue or snacks they have just bought. But in front of the People's Liberation Army Academy, you will never see the same situation, their school gate is full of doors, and occasionally one or two people come out in military uniforms and are not smiling.

Lin Yu and the old man were soon stopped by the staff on duty, but they learned that the old man's son had studied here, and the old man had rushed over from his hometown five hundred kilometers away, just to see where his son had lived, and the staff on duty finally opened up. He recorded the information of the two people, and explained, "I can only give you two hours, and you must come out before noon." ”

The old man nodded again and again and said a few thanks, and with Lin Yu's support, he finally stepped into this PLA Academy.

Everything in the academy seems to be very regular, whether it is the various buildings, or the trees and flowers next to the road. The road was not wide but smooth, straight ahead, and the bushes and trees on both sides were carefully trimmed, and they looked neatly aligned, without any extra forks, like two columns of soldiers standing straight.

The old man's demeanor was very relaxed at first, she kept looking at the serious but beautiful campus, but halfway down the road under her feet, she saw the back of a green military uniform appear in front of her. The back was majestic and upright, and there was a sonorous and powerful posture when she walked, and the old man's original smiling face froze all of a sudden, and she hurriedly picked up the camera and took a picture of the back.

The old man stood there a little distracted, her eyes kept following the back in front of her, until the other party turned the corner and could no longer see, and the old man's demeanor gradually returned to normal. She put down her camera and muttered to herself, "This campus is so beautiful, when my son used to study here, he also walked on this road like him." ”

......

The campus is quiet, with few pedestrians and no cars, a far cry from the bustling downtown area beyond the walls. Lin Yu found that the old man was not photographing the scenery, but things with the breath of life, such as the single parallel bars downstairs in the dormitory, the rubber track that was no longer so bright, and the basketball court marked out on the cement floor outside.

Suddenly, in the distance, there was the sound of a walking team, and their mouths were shouting one, two, three, four, in a rhythmic manner, and the sound of marching in unison sounded full of power.

There was a glint in the old man's eyes, and she turned her head and said, "Child, let's go over and have a look." ”
