Chapter 1: The Banquet (6)
Because I was preparing to go abroad, Qing Qian spent the past few days reviewing English at home.
The Yan family is an old-fashioned house, which has not been renovated, and the yard is very deep. A shallow house, near the southwest side of the main courtyard. Outside the house is a courtyard with grape trellises, pomegranate trees, and goldfish bowls. The grapes on the shelves are one by one, pinched and hard, like grains of green glass. The sun is brighter, and standing under the shelf, you can even see the translucent flesh inside. A stone table was placed on the grape shelf, and in the morning or afternoon, when the heat had subsided, Qingqian would review and read under the stone table.
The pomegranate trees against the west wall are blooming, the yellow-red flowers are pretty on the branches, some fall to the ground, and the bluestone bricks are red on the ground, and when the wind blows, they cover the yard. Zhang's mother came out of a nap, glanced at the shallow yard, saw the fallen flowers sprinkled on the ground, and began to reprimand the little girls for being lazy.
I saw Qingqian sleeping on the stone table again, and hurriedly entered the courtyard with his little feet:
"Yo hey! My eldest lady, why did you run outside on such a hot day? "After lunch, Qing Qian was stuffy in the house. So he took a book in foreign language and went to the courtyard to breathe. I didn't want to, but I fell asleep on the stone table.
"Bh. I forgot to sleep" Qingqian got up, half of his arm was numb. Zhang's mother helped Qingqian collect the book and hurriedly helped Qingqian into the house.
"Yo, look, sweat." As he spoke, he turned to the inner room. Zhang's mother grew up watching Qingqian, and she has been working in the Yan family since the Yan family moved to Jinyuan, and it has been almost 20 years.
Although Qingqian doesn't like this old mother, she scolds her subordinates all day long. But my father doesn't care about family affairs, after all, he is a young lady, and he can't yell at his subordinates. If it weren't for Mama Zhang's control, I'm afraid that the servants and maids of this big family would have already messed up the rules. Therefore, it is still very polite to this mother.
"On such a hot day, where did Xiaoxi's lazy girl go? Nor waiting. Zhang's mother twisted the towel and handed it to Qingqian. I looked around and didn't see the shallow personal maid Xiaoxi.
Qing Qian was stuck on the stone table for a while, feeling sore all over, sweating all over his body, and didn't want to speak.
"Mother Zhang is here." As soon as Zhang's mother finished speaking, a sweet voice came from the courtyard, followed by the shallow maid Xiaoxi, who came in from outside the door.
"You lazy girl, where did you go, if your young lady gets sick with a fever, what will I do if I see you?" Although Zhang's mother said it very seriously, she had a smile on her face. Konishi is young, has a sweet mouth, and is also clever. It's rare to please Zhang's mother.
"If you say that, you will be out of the way. When I just came in, Master Li in the kitchen seemed to be looking for you, but I was afraid that I had already gone to the main hall. Xiaoxi said this, and Zhang's mother didn't stop and went to the front.
"It's really a bad girl!" Seeing that Xiaoxi sent Zhang's mother back, he couldn't help but joke.
"Hehe, Miss is willing to be here, then I'll call her back." Xiaoxi pretended to go out to call Zhang's mother.
"All right, you little hoof. Tell me, do you see anyone? Qingqian couldn't wait to hold Konishi.
"I saw it, I saw it." Konishi ran out with a cigarette, and when he ran back, he already had an extra cloth bag in his hand. Qing Qian took the cloth bag and opened it to see a black Contex camera lying inside.
"Miss! Can this thing really shine a human shadow? It's really weird. Konishi looked at the thing in Qingqian's hand with a curious and incomprehensible expression.
"Of course, I'll get you one." Qing Qian said, posing and raising the camera.
"Hey...... Hey, Miss don't. Konishi had already covered his face and hid next to the desk. In the end, it is a little girl who has not yet entered the market, and she has never seen anything new, and she thinks that such a thing is extremely incredible.
"Okay, don't be stubborn with you, did Miss Qi's subordinates bring anything to say?" Qingqian looked through the handbag, there was nothing but the camera, turned around and asked Konishi.
"No, I asked the next person, and she only said that Miss Qi has been very obedient at home recently. However, Master Qi still refused to let her go out. Xiaoxi knew that Qingqian and Miss Qi had always been good friends, and the next person was about to leave after sending the camera, so she stuffed a piece of ocean to get these words.
"It seems that Xiao Zhi's life at home is not easy." Qing sighed, and the joy of seeing the camera just now went most of it at once.
"I also gave the letter you wrote to Miss Qi to that person, and gave him a piece of ocean, Miss Qi should be able to receive it...... This Miss Qi is really bold enough. Konishi was originally relieved and shallow, but at the end he couldn't help but spit out a sentence.
"It's bold enough." Plain retelling, rubbing the camera shell, but there was a look of admiration in his eyes.
Qi Liangzhi and Qing Qian are college classmates, their family backgrounds are very similar, they are like-minded, and they are both studying architecture, and they are in the same class. After four years, the relationship was naturally close, and each of them introduced each other as close friends.
No, less than a year after Liang Zhi graduated, her family arranged a marriage for her. Liang Zhi didn't comply, and eloped with her cousin and fled. When I arrived at the train station, I was stopped in the end. When the man learned of this, he immediately withdrew from the marriage. Qi's father felt that Liang Zhi had a dirty lintel, so he locked Liang Zhi in his house and was not allowed to go out or see guests. Qingqian came to the door a few times, but he never saw it.
Last time, I borrowed the name of the camera to visit again, but Master Qi just shirked and didn't let him see it. I don't want to send someone to deliver it today.
It's not an excuse to choreograph the camera in a shallow way. A group of students are about to graduate. Although Qing Qian has not been working at Normal University for a long time, he has a deep relationship with students. I thought it would be nice to take more photos of the students at the graduation ceremony.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, Qing Qian got up early in the morning. When she arrived at school, there were still people who came earlier than her. The students have set up the auditorium pretty much the same.
Every year, it has become a common practice for Commander-in-Chief Luo to attend the graduation ceremony of the National Normal University and deliver a speech. This year, it is the first case where students are responsible for the reception and arrangement of pre-speech matters, and the teacher is on hand to supervise them.
The graduation ceremony was held at noon. When everything is arranged, it is still too early to find out. Qingqian took out the camera he brought and took pictures of the students. The students are all novelty, noisy and shouting, taking photos around the school, and time flies.
Someone shouted; "Teacher Yan is also going abroad soon, let's take a souvenir too!"
One person exits, and many people should make peace. Qing Qian was surrounded by students and pulled to the main entrance of the school. As soon as I stood still, I heard the sound of cars coming, and outside the main entrance, a group of cars drove towards the school. A military car at the front has been parked at the school gate. A uniformed lieutenant came out and walked towards them.
Immediately after the car were two trucks, full of guards with rifles on their backs, the barrels of which were black and shining, shining in the summer morning sun, which was awe-inspiring. The truck was followed by three more military-licensed cars. With such a big battle, he is shallow and clear-minded, and it must be Commander-in-Chief Luo who is coming.
The students who came with them seemed to be frightened by this battle, and they all stood for a while, and Qing Qian was also slightly stunned. I was just about to go back and say something to the students. Hearing only a "pop", the student holding the camera pressed the shutter in a panic.
"What are you doing?" The uniformed lieutenant who approached was He Shiyi, and I saw a cold look on his face, staring at Qing Qian's line. The camera in the student's hand had been snatched away by the person who was following He Shiyi.
"Major He, you misunderstood, the students just wanted to take some pictures." Two military trucks had stopped outside the school gate, and the guards got out of the vehicles in an orderly and swift manner. They are lining up, waiting for orders. Qing Qian knew that it was not appropriate to say this at this time. However, it was his own camera, and there were many photos that had just been taken.
"Teacher Yan, He is just doing business, wait for a few days, and the camera will be returned." He Shiyi's tone was very polite. The teams behind him were all waiting for He Shiyi to deploy. At the moment, he was explaining this trivial matter to Qing Qian, Qing Qian was slightly distracted, and bowed his head slightly:
"That's a lot of work."
He said goodbye to the wet clothes and the debt, walked to the phalanx that had been lined up, and with a few simple orders, a line of guards began to set up a checkpoint at the main entrance of the school.
