Chapter 17: A Camera's Turmoil

Only a few days later, Cai Yuanwei used the excuse of asking about homework to call Gu Hanwen to her home. After Gu Hanwen sat down in the living room, she turned around and went back to the room, and after a while, she came out with a few boxes from inside.www.biquge.info Gu Hanwen saw that she was not holding a textbook, and was puzzled, when Cai Yuanwei handed him several boxes in her hand, and smiled mysteriously and motioned him to open it.

Gu Hanwen took it and opened it with a puzzled face, and it turned out that the box was a brand-new and latest Nikon DSLR camera, as well as several matching long and short lenses.

Cai Yuanwei said at this time: "This is the latest SLR camera that I asked my family to send from Hong Kong. Although this Nikon camera is not as light as the Casio camera I used, it is a little easier to operate, which is perfect for beginners. Besides, you're a boy, so it doesn't matter if you're heavier in your hand. There are also several matching long and short lenses, which can be freely changed according to different shooting needs. How to use these lenses, I will slowly teach you later. ”

Gu Hanwen couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and hurriedly and carefully took the camera out of the box and held it in his hand, fiddling it up and down with love. Cai Yuanwei stepped forward and carefully taught him how to turn on and off the computer, explained to him in detail the position of the shutter, viewfinder, flash, etc., and briefly introduced the position of the function keys and the purpose of each function. Gu Hanwen listened carefully, tried to use it while listening, and soon mastered the basic usage of the digital camera.

Gu Hanwen fiddled with the camera, his face was surprised and happy, and he said to Cai Yuanwei with some uncertainty: "A good digital camera like this should be very expensive, right?" Did you really give it to me? ”

Cai Yuanwei said with a smile: "No matter how expensive the camera is, it can't compare to your help at that time." So you can use it with confidence, I still have the money to buy such a set of equipment. ”

Gu Hanwen's handsome face showed a sincere smile at this time, and he said to Cai Yuanwei with a straight face: "Thank you, classmate Cai." I'm going to have to trouble you to teach me photography in the future. I'd love to take a good picture like the one I saw last time. ”

When Cai Yuanwei heard his words, she deliberately pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied: "We are all so familiar, why do you still call me classmate Cai and not call me by my name?" Aren't we friends if you talk to me so politely? Besides, now that you're going to learn photography from me, I won't be able to follow the 'Cai, Cai' call me like this! You should call me Ms. Xiaowei now. ”

Gu Hanwen was amused by her, and responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, Teacher Xiaowei is good!" After speaking, he bowed very seriously.

Cai Yuanwei was also amused by him, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Then I'm welcome, I'll call you Hanwen in the future!" Hanwen, you have to be careful in the future, I am very strict as a teacher! ”

"No problem, I promise to study hard!"

"Hahaha......"

……

But Gu Hanwen was happy for less than a week, and his camera was discovered by Gu's father.

One night, Gu's father opened the door of Gu Hanwen's room coldly, wanting to come in and talk to him about something. But after coming in, before he could speak, Gu's father noticed that Gu Hanwen's expression was a little faintly panicked. After Father Gu said what he wanted to say suspiciously, he was about to turn around and go out, but he noticed a trace of reflection from a hidden cabinet door passing by.

Father Gu hurriedly reached out to open the cabinet door. Gu Hanwen's face changed color, and he was about to stand up to stop his father's movements, but he couldn't stop it. When I opened the cabinet door, I saw a brand-new digital camera in the cabinet.

Looking at such a valuable photographic instrument, Gu's father's face couldn't help but change color, his expression froze, and his first reaction was to think, is this the equipment he got back from the TV station?

Father Gu turned his head and looked at Gu Hanwen with a solemn expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this camera?" Did you take the TV station? What are you doing with this camera at home? ”

When Gu Hanwen saw that his father found his camera, he couldn't help but feel numb and tense all over. Faced with his father's questioning, he couldn't think of any good excuse to explain for a while, so he couldn't help but be at a loss and couldn't speak.

Looking at Gu Hanwen's hesitant appearance, Gu's father suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Children at this age, if they don't pay a little attention, will quickly learn badly. Gu's father couldn't help but think of the worst outcome, could it be that his son took the TV station with this camera privately? Or where did it come from? Thinking of this, Gu's father was anxious and annoyed, and his voice became louder: "Why don't you hurry up and say, where did this camera come from?" Is it stolen? Or did you steal the family's money to buy it? Say it quickly! ”

But Gu Hanwen just drooped his head and replied sullenly: "I didn't steal this camera." I didn't steal anything, I didn't steal money from my family! ”

Gu's father also didn't want to believe that his son would steal. He knew his son's nature, and he wasn't a man who could do such things as stealing. But such expensive electronic equipment is not something that he can easily buy as a student with no income. At this time, Gu's father asked with a tiger face: "Then tell me, how did this camera come about?" You name it! ”

Gu's mother also heard the movement in Gu Hanwen's room from the hall at this time, and hurriedly walked in, and said softly to Gu Hanwen: "Son, just tell me how you got this camera?" Tell your mom! After speaking, she turned her head to Gu's father and persuaded: "Wife, don't be anxious with your son, ask slowly, speak slowly, ah!" ”

Under Gu's mother's gentle questioning, Gu Hanwen said that Cai Yuanwei gave it to him in order to repay him for his help.

Father Gu's face was solemn when he heard this, what kind of busy person was he to thank him with such a valuable item? But at this time, Gu Hanwen didn't want to say more no matter how he asked. Gu's father looked like he couldn't hit a fart no matter how much he played, and he was really angry and worried. His son is excellent, but he is too good, he is afraid that there will be someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of his son's simplicity and innocence to lure him to do something. Cai Yuanwei, who lives in the house next to her, after she came to visit last time, her sleek and sophisticated handling of things left a deep impression on Gu's father. When it comes to social experience, his son is absolutely beyond his reach. It's hard to be convincing to send such a valuable thing as a thank you just for doing a favor.

Gu's father asked again and again at this time, but Gu Hanwen just drooped his head and didn't say a word, Gu's father was so angry that he almost couldn't help but want to slap him. Gu's mother stepped forward at this time and persuaded: "Don't worry, wife. I saw that the girl's eyes were very clear, and she didn't look like someone with any bad intentions. If you have any questions, why don't you go over and ask them in person, isn't that enough? ”

So, when Cai Yuanwei heard a knock on the door and opened the door, she saw such a scene: Gu's father was holding a brand-new digital camera in his hand, with a faint annoyance on his face, standing in front of the door, followed by Gu's mother. Gu Hanwen stood by the wall in the distance a little helplessly, and most of his body was leaning against the wall.

Cai Yuanwei somewhat understood their intention of coming to her at this time, so she smiled sweetly, pretending not to know anything, and said, "Uncle and aunt, it's so late, is there something wrong?" Please come in and sit down first! ”

Gu's father and Gu's mother came to Cai Yuanwei's house for the first time. I saw that the floor of the living room was all paved with teak floors, which was clean and bright. The surroundings were a little empty, with only a few sofa cushions and cushions placed on the opposite side of the TV wall, and a square low table in the middle. Although there are not many items, it looks quite neatly packed.

Gu's father and Gu's mother saw a small step by the door, and the shoes that slipped under the steps could only enter the hall when they went up the steps. Looking at the somewhat shiny wooden floor, Father Gu was also a little stunned at this time, and said hesitantly: "You have to take off your shoes before you can enter the house, right?" Otherwise, you will trample on the floor of your house. Let's just say a few words at the door. ”

Cai Yuanwei saw that Gu's father was holding the SLR camera she gave to Gu Hanwen, looking at Gu Hanwen's frustrated and helpless look in the back, knowing that if she didn't make it clear to the two elders of the Gu family tonight, they would not approve of Gu Han's literary photography. This is a question of whether she can get along with Gu Hanwen further in the future, and she can't treat it casually.

So Cai Yuanwei smiled and said: "Let uncles and aunts stand at the door and talk about things, it's not what we juniors should do, let's go in first and talk slowly!" It doesn't matter if you come in with shoes, you have to step on the floor when it's installed! ”

At Cai Yuanwei's insistence, everyone in the Gu family came in and sat down. After Cai Yuanwei served tea to everyone, she sat down next to Gu Hanwen, winked at him secretly, smiled pretending to be unclear and said, "Uncle and aunt came here tonight, do you want to ask Xiaowei something?" ”

Father Gu took out the SLR camera at this time and put it on the table in front of Cai Yuanwei, "Xiaowei, this gift you gave to Awen is too valuable, we really can't accept it, you better take it back!" ”

Cai Yuanwei was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Gu Hanwen, and saw that there was helplessness in his eyes, as well as a trace of expectation and dissatisfaction, so she winked at him again, gave him a smile, and then turned her head to Gu's father and said, "Uncle, there is a reason why I gave Gu a camera, are you willing to listen to my explanation?" ”

"I know, Arwen also briefly mentioned that he did you a great favor, so you gave him a camera to show your gratitude. But it is right for the neighbors to help each other, and if we accept your gift, it is ours that we should not. ”

"Classmate Gu probably didn't say what he was helping for, right?" Cai Yuanwei looked at Gu Hanwen at this time and continued: "In his opinion, it is just a favor, but for me, it is a matter of life. Uncles and aunts, please listen to me in detail, and you will understand why I sent this camera. ”

Cai Yuanwei then told the Gu family and the elders in detail what happened on the old street that day, and the Gu family's parents were stunned.

“…… Fortunately, Gu shouted like this that day, and I was able to get out, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened! So for me, classmate Gu is a life-saving kindness! ”

Gu's father and Gu's mother didn't expect such a thing to happen before, and hurriedly looked at Gu Hanwen with questions in their eyes. Cai Yuanwei hurriedly explained: "Classmate Gu was worried that his uncle and aunt would be worried and afraid if they found out about this, so he insisted on not saying it. Don't blame him when my uncle and aunt go back, classmate Gu is really a very good and smart person, although he saved me, but he is not reckless, he will also pay attention to safety and protect himself. So uncle and aunt forgive him! ”

Gu's father and Gu's mother glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to speak for a while. They didn't have any blame for Gu Hanwen saving Cai Yuanwei. But they still felt a little awkward about that camera. If they refrain from doing so, it will make people mistakenly think that other people's lives are not worth the money. But if they accepted it, their family had never received such a heavy gift, and they felt a little uneasy.

Cai Yuanwei saw their hesitation on their faces, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood their concerns, so she said again: "Uncle and aunt, send this camera to classmate Gu, in addition to thanking classmate Gu for saving his life, I also have another intention, I hope that uncle and aunt can agree to one of my requests." ”

Father Gu said at this time, "What is the request?" ”

"Uncles and aunts, you can also see, I only live here alone, and sometimes I don't take care of myself very much. So I thought if I could make a friend at my aunt's house, let me have a meal at your house in the evenings and on weekends, and hope that my uncle can help me when I need to fix something at home. This camera and the matter of teaching Gu to learn photography are regarded as a gift paid by me in advance, uncle and aunt, do you think this is okay? ”

Gu's father and Gu's mother looked at each other again at this time. Father Gu thought about it solemnly, and finally nodded and said, "Okay!" Your explanation and request, we accept. If you have anything in the future, you must remember to come and ask us for help. From tomorrow onwards, you will come to my house for a light meal together, and we will take good care of you for your parents. ”

"Thank you, aunt and uncle!" Cai Yuanwei thanked her with a smile and bowed solemnly. The two elders of the Gu family hurriedly pulled her up, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Cai Yuanwei picked up the camera on the shelf, and when she sent the two elders of the Gu family to the door, she stuffed it into Gu Hanwen's hand, and said in a low voice behind her: "I just said that you can learn photography with confidence, and I will definitely help you deal with this matter." ”

Gu Hanwen's handsome face showed a hint of relaxation and gratitude, and he lowered his head to Cai Yuanwei's ear and whispered, "Thank you tonight!" After speaking, he shook the camera in his hand, smiled at Cai Yuanwei, and followed the two elders of the Gu family out of her house.

Cai Yuanwei watched the family leave, with a relieved smile on her face, and turned around and stretched.

Looks like it's going to be another good night's sleep!
