And then

You're leaving

Jasmine tea is still hot

There is also the lingering fragrance of fingers on the cup

And then

You're leaving

The clock is still beating for loneliness

The sun shone on the window lattice

And then

You're leaving

The room was as quiet as a wilderness

The figure landed on the spider silk

And then

You're leaving

……

——Zhang Mian "Then, You Go"

……

The south hall is bright in winter, and the windows are warm.

On a windless afternoon, the sun shines better than expected, shining warmly on the body.

Zhang Mian and Cao Xiaoshan sat against the wall in Xiaoshan's house and ate melon seeds, talking with each other, afraid that they would miss the warm sunshine of the afternoon if they talked too much, just like many years later, no matter how sleepy Cao Xiaoshan and Zhang Mian were, as long as they went to take a bath and soak their feet, pinched each other, slapped their faces, and pulled their hair, they would never let themselves fall asleep.

Enjoy it definitely when you're awake.

Xiaoshan's cat walked back and forth under the legs of the two of them from time to time, looking at the melon seeds in their hands full of curiosity, Zhang Mian put a sunflower baby in front of its mouth, the cat touched it with its nose, and licked it with its tongue, its eyes instantly turned from curiosity to disappointment, it shook its head and stretched a lazy waist, and slowly walked to Cao Xiaoshan's side and lay down.

When the sketch arrived, Xiaoshan and Zhang Mian were both about to fall asleep.

"But I went to take pictures, and it's weird to bask in the sun here." Xiaopin moved a stool and sat down next to him, beckoned himself, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table, and crackled.

At this time, you will find that there is a big gap between the front teeth on the upper row of the sketch, when he eats melon seeds, the seam is like a beer driver, the peel of the melon seeds will not be blocked inside, it is really a magical tooth gap, when eating watermelon, his watermelon is also clean, it is really a seam for multiple purposes.

"I'll go to the photo studio and buy a roll of film, and I'll pay for the film, and you will pay for the photos." Xiaoshan saw that the sketch was coming, stretched his waist, got up and hid the half bag of melon seeds on the table.

"Zhang Mu paid for the film, I paid for the photo launder, what money did you pay?" The sketch threw the melon seed shell onto the cat's body, and was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement.

The cat got up and shook its body, glanced at the impolite sketch with disdain, and walked away with a light step.

"I'm out of the camera, I don't have a camera roll in your stomach, you think you might be able to take a picture." Cao Xiaoshan looked at the sketch like an idiot.

"Don't be crooked, I'll dig out the film and photos, don't forget to ask for beef soup at night." Zhang Mian finished swallowing a few melon seeds in his hand, clapped his hands and said.

"It's still open-minded and generous." The sketch glared at Xiaoshan as he spoke.

Among the three of them, Zhang Xuan's family is relatively solid, and when they usually play together, most of them are Zhang Xuan.

In fact, at that time, there was not so much attention, whoever had money would pay more, and if there was no money, they would play together without spending money.

At that time, there was a photo studio in Zhangjiacun, east of Zhangjiacun Primary School, which was opened by a female classmate of Zhangjiacun Junior High School.

In order to look like a cameraman, her father grew long hair, grew a beard, spoke with a pinched voice, and was a sissy, and they all called him a fake woman in private.

In fact, his level is similar to that of his second brother who rented a book next door, Zhang Mian has a few photos taken by his second brother when he was not at home, his second brother only knows how to point the camera at people, will press the shutter, and the effect of the washed out photos is actually not bad.

When buying the film, Zhang Mian saw the rockery in the background in the photo given to him by Yanzi, Zhang Mian pretended to touch it inadvertently, it was estimated that it was made of plastic, and the workmanship was relatively rough.

"Zhang Xuan, let's go, what are you touching that fake poodle for, go to the wheel kiln factory to take a few photos first." After the sketch knew that he didn't have to pay for the photo, he was in a very happy mood.

"That's a rockery, you young man doesn't have a good look." The fake woman said unhappily.

"You're talking like a poodle." Xiaoshan looked at it carefully and agreed.

"Go, go, hurry up and take the film and take pictures, it's getting dark early." The fake woman's face was green, and if it weren't for the fact that they were customers, he would have pulled out his real dog and bitten them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three of them quickly left the photo studio.

In the wheel kiln factory, the sketch excitedly climbed to the chimney more than 20 meters to take pictures.

The ladder on the chimney of the wheel kiln factory is not a ladder in the traditional sense at all, but a bow-shaped steel bar embedded in the bricks, which is not only difficult to climb but also dangerous.

Zhang Mian and Xiaoshan couldn't pull it, so they had to let him climb, he hummed and climbed crookedly to more than ten meters and couldn't climb, so he had to hold the steel bar with one hand and compare it with the other.

After passing through several fields and vegetable fields, they arrived at the large mound where Zhang Lu and Cao Xiaoshan often sit.

The cool breeze is cold and the dew is Xiao Suotian, and the yellow artemisia purple chrysanthemum is desolate and desolate.

The leaves of the woods on the mound had completely withered, and the sun fell on them from among the bare branches, as well as on the unknown graves, which were thick with fallen leaves.

"It's so crazy here, you want to shoot me for the two of you, I'm not here to shoot." The sketch complained while kicking the fallen leaves.

"You take a picture of us." Zhang Mian and Xiaoshan sat down in the place where they often sit, and the sketch captured the moment.

Subsequently, the three of them took turns shooting, but unfortunately they couldn't take a group photo of the three.

Zhang Mian and Xiaoshan have no talent in posing, except for smiling and laughing, they have no sense of camera at all.

The sketch is different, one will put his chin on the cabbage in the cabbage field, the other will hold a crooked neck tree, and he will pretend to be a ram in the flock.

He even had to strip off his top and pose as a troubled boy, but this time it didn't go as he wanted, and he was stopped in time by Zhang Mian and Cao Xiaoshan by pulling an arm.

In case he gets sick from the cold, it doesn't matter if he gets beaten himself, Zhang Mian and Cao Xiaoshan will be scolded if they go home without being beaten.

"You said that you don't have big fat and no tattoos on your body, what kind of shoulders are you, and you look like a chicken frame." Xiaoshan didn't say angrily.

"You're afraid of film."

"We're afraid you're freezing, so you can take off the light next summer." Zhang Lu played a round field.

"It's still listening to Zhang Mian's speech."

……

In this way, the three of them spent an afternoon noisily taking pictures in the fields, and when the sun was about to set, thirty-six negatives were finally taken.
