Chapter 3: Take a photo

Grandma didn't let go, muttering: "My baby is back, how can I let my baby work." ”

"Mother, didn't I see it, you rest first, I'll get it for you."

Yun Feng spoke an authentic Guanzhong dialect.

Although I have spoken Mandarin outside all these years, I have definitely not forgotten the dialect I learned from elementary school.

"My baby is moving, and this work will be done in a while." Grandma still won't let go.

Yun Feng persuaded a few more words, and then took the hoe from his grandmother's hand.

"My baby will wait for Ha to go back to our house to drink saliva, and my mother-in-law will get you some food." Grandma wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled.

"Okay." Yun Feng smiled.

The sun was less hot and there was a breeze blowing in the air.

Yun Feng watched the old man's movements and learned from the cat and the tiger.

He is not a person who does not distinguish between grains and four bodies, and when he was a child, he often followed his grandparents to work in the fields, and he would be able to take a few looks.

Ploughing the ground is a technical job, and if you rely on brute force to plough the ground, you will be tired after a while.

While turning over the ground, Yun Feng also asked, "Master, what are we doing?" ”

"The baby went out to work, not in the house." Grandpa responded.

"It's good to work part-time, do you earn money by working?"

"Do you want to make money, you can't make money by staying in our village, so we will clean up the land every day, grow some vegetables and food, enough for us to spend ourselves, and not burden the babies." Grandpa's words are simple.

Yun Feng's nose was sour, and his grandparents were also people with such a personality.

The two old men stayed in the countryside all their lives, and the farthest they ever went out was to come to Xi'an, and they lived in the village, where the vegetables were grown in the field, and the same was true for the grain, and occasionally they spent some money to buy some meat.

Usually the two old men don't know what to eat, but it won't be too good to think about, but every time he goes home, the two old men will make big fish and meat and put a table full of them.

In the end, when the two old men died, they actually saved 100,000 yuan in the passbook.

relied on one or two dollars and a few cents to accumulate 100,000 yuan little by little.

The old man never had any serious illness in his life, did not burden his children, and finally left 100,000 yuan.

Perhaps this is the truest thing about the previous generation.

The clouds and wind fell on the hoe and dug it into the soil, and the fresh soil underneath was turned up.

"How old is you?" Yunfeng asked.

"Seventy-five," Grandpa said with some pride.

"Mother, how old are you?" Yunfeng asked again.

"I'm seventy." Grandma also laughed.

Yun Feng smiled: "It doesn't look like it, you two are only sixty at most." ”

Grandpa waved his hand: "No, the body is not as good as a day, we can't do heavy work now, just plant the land." ”

Yun Feng chatted with the two old men, and the burden in his heart was gradually released.

Maybe he was tired from work and didn't have time to think about it, or maybe it was the innocent and simple words of the two old men that made him forget the troubles of failure.

I went south to start a business for ten years, thinking about how to make money and how to do business.

Ten years have passed, and I have not earned anything, but I have neglected my family.

What is the most important thing in life?

At the top of the list is certainly not money.

Some people may say that there is no money, and the whole society looks at money, and people's hearts have become more and more impetuous.

But there are still a lot of people in this society, and they don't care how much money they can make.

They care about how well the children are doing.

They don't think about traveling abroad, driving luxury cars, living in villas, wearing gold and silver, etc., they just hope that their children can live a safe and secure life.

Yun Feng felt as if his soul had been baptized.

What's a failure?

Isn't this still there?

If you can't make money, you can make a comeback, but in this life, what do you have to do to make this life seem less utilitarian?

Yun Feng's mind was full of thoughts, and he suddenly felt that the previous ten years had been in vain.

Earn money, money doesn't make much.

Give him ten years to evaluate, that is, failure.

Is there any sense of what you are doing?

It doesn't make much sense, there are more people doing the same thing.

"Am I supposed to do something meaningful?"

An idea popped into Yun Feng's mind.

But he didn't have a clue for the time being.

After a while, a small vegetable patch was turned over.

Yunfeng and Grandpa carried their hoes and returned to the side of the road.

Grandma pulled Yunfeng's arm and smiled: "Let's go, let's go back and drink some water and have a meal." ”

"No, mother-in-law, I'm still driving, if there's something, I'll come back next time." Yunfeng laughed.

"Our house is right in front of us, it's close." Grandma still persuaded hard and wanted to pull Yunfeng home.

Yunfeng is refusal.

He also saw it when he came down, so he helped the handle.

It's not too early, and it's time for him to go back.

After a while, they all came to the road.

On the side of the road is a rural frame car, with two wheels, a flat plate on top, baffles on both sides, and two long wooden poles sticking out of the front, which can be pushed and pulled by the hand.

This type of car is most common in the village.

Grandpa threw the hoe on the car, and Yunfeng also put the hoe in his hand.

Behind the two old men, the green fields swayed in the wind.

Yun Feng suddenly wanted to take a photo and leave something for the two old men.

"Grandpa, grandma, let me take a picture of you."

When the two old men heard this, their faces showed excitement at first, but it quickly dissipated.

Grandma smiled: "I haven't packed my clothes, they don't look good when they are photographed, and I won't shoot them anymore." ”

"How can I take pictures in this place?" Grandpa said the same.

Yun Feng saw that the two old men wanted to take pictures, but they were embarrassed.

He smiled: "Just shoot here, you don't have to clean up, it's beautiful now." ”

"That'll do." Grandpa took the lead.

"You're so old, what kind of pictures do you take!" Grandma looked disgusted.

Grandpa smiled: "Except for the two of us who took photos when we got married, we didn't take pictures later, isn't this just right." ”

Although grandma dislikes it, her eyes are full of expectation.

"Grandpa, mother, it's convenient to take pictures with this camera now, I'll take a picture of the two of you, and I'll bring you the photo when I go back." Yun Feng said subconsciously.

These things were really a small thing to him, but it didn't seem to be a small thing to the two old men.

Under his persuasion, Grandma finally agreed.

"What's the shot?" Grandpa asked.

Yun Feng picked up the camera around his neck and said with a smile: "You two are standing in front of the car, I'll tell you." ”

Grandpa and Grandma stood together a little stiffly, the expression on their faces a little stiff.

The old people in the countryside have never taken a few photos in their lives, and they may end up taking a posthumous portrait when they are dying, and the camera phone is far away for them.

Yun Feng pointed the camera at the two old men and began to debug it.

"Lord, mother, you two laugh, just think about when you two got married!" Yunfeng reminded him.

The two old men looked at each other for a moment, then Grandma bowed her head shyly, and Grandpa laughed.

Yunfeng immediately pressed the shutter and froze the picture at this moment.

He looked at the camera screen, and in the picture, the two old men were laughing, and behind them were endless farmland, with the clear blue sky as the background, like a picture scroll.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Yun Feng's heart also trembled.

The originally silent heart was also touched by the smiles of the two old men in the photo, and the sun from the sky shone on his heart.

"Master, mother, I'll come over tomorrow and send you the photos." Yunfeng laughed.

"Good, good!" Grandpa said excitedly.

"Then I'll go first, you two slow down."

Yunfeng waved his hand and was about to leave.

The two old men dropped him off in the car until he was seated and waved at him.

"My baby drives slowly, the roads in our village are not good." Grandma admonished.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

After Yunfeng drove away, his grandparents still looked at his back and watched him go away.

In the driver's seat, Yunfeng let out a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt that his mood was much more relaxed, and this trip was not in vain.

And now this day seems to be much more interesting than before.

Seeing that the time was late, if he drove it again, it would be late at night when he returned to Xi'an, Yunfeng turned a corner at the intersection in front of him, entered another road, turned around and drove towards the south.

By six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, he had already arrived in Xi'an.

He was already a little hungry, but he was not in a hurry to eat, searched the map, found a nearby photo studio, and went in with his camera.

A short time later, he came out of the photo studio, carrying a bag in his hand.

The bag contained the photo, and after Yunfeng printed the photo, he added a photo frame by the way.

He found a noodle restaurant on the side of the road and ate a bowl of dry noodles with a few raw garlic and a bowl of noodle soup, which was his afternoon meal.

In Shaanxi, the oil and spicy seeds are the most fragrant.

For many years in other places, especially in Guangzhou, Yunfeng has indeed never tasted authentic Shaanxi noodles, nor has he tasted the taste of Shaanxi oil and spicy seeds.

Maybe he was too busy to find a place, but he hadn't tasted it, and after eating a few bites of noodles, Yunfeng's heart was also relaxed.

The grandfather and grandmother he had seen today reappeared in his mind, and from beginning to end, they didn't know each other's names.

Grandpa and grandma really treated him as a junior and treated him kindly.

Thinking of the deceit and calculation in the big city, Yun Feng felt a rare sense of relief.

Here, it's just a matter of being yourself.

No matter how failed life is, there are still so many simple people and so many beautiful scenery.

Yunfeng began to think about how to make a comeback and come back to do something.

He took a bite of raw garlic, and was so excited by the spicy whole person that he couldn't think about it anymore.

After drinking a few sips of noodle soup to dilute the spicy taste, Yunfeng laughed to himself.

Why do you want to do so much?

Relax and relax first, and there is no rush to make a comeback.

Early the next morning, Yunfeng got up early, had breakfast at the breakfast stall downstairs, found a fruit shop to buy some fruit, picked up the bag and drove off.

This time, his goal is quite clear, it is the village he went to yesterday.

The photos have been printed, and they will be sent to the old man's house, and by the way, they will drive north to see what else is there.
