Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

The next day, He Yuzhu witnessed the comings and goings of the Tian family as a bystander.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu had an idea. Oh, his Seagull camera was still lying quietly in the space, so there was no need to wait any longer.

So He Yuzhu quietly returned to the cave where he slept and took out the camera from the space. After thinking for a while, he took out a few more rolls of film.

When she came to Tian Wei's house again, Xiuqin was preparing to distribute things to the villagers. Everyone was very polite and no one asked for anything.

"Sister Xiuqin, please stop working. I suddenly remembered that I brought a camera with me. Let me take a few photos of me and the children in front of the old house so that we can show them to Weiguo when we get to the capital."

There are still people in the village who know what a camera is.

"Comrade He, is the camera you are talking about the same as the point-and-shoot cameras in my county?"

He Yuzhu smiled and raised his hand and replied: "The one around my neck is also a camera, the principle is the same."

Old man Tian Yuexing, who had once attended a commendation meeting in the province as a production model of the commune, was also shocked when he saw the camera in He Yuzhu's hand. He knew that this thing could only be used by big leaders.

So he walked over with big bags under his eyes and said: "Zhu Zi, you are not telling the truth. Your family is of high status, right?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect that a camera would make Uncle Tian associate so much with it.

"Uncle Tian, ​​you think too much. My father is just a cook. But you are also right. I am almost the same as the county party secretary now."

Even though Uncle Tian was considered knowledgeable, he took a deep breath when he heard that He Yuzhu was on the same level as the top leader of his county.

He asked tremblingly: "What about Weiguo~"

"He is one level higher than me, but he enjoys the treatment of a full department head."

"That's equivalent to the secretary of the prefectural committee~"

Everyone knows that Tian Weiguo has become rich, but no one expected him to be so rich.

In a moment: "Sister Xiuqin, please pat my dog's head. I also want him to be successful~"

Once there was one, there were two. Soon everyone brought their children over. Some of them didn't even bother to say hello because they were afraid that they would be late than other children and they ran home quickly.

He Yuzhu shouted as he ran, and his voice was estimated to be able to be heard five miles away.

He Yuzhu saw that Sister Xiuqin was also a little at a loss, but the smile on her face betrayed her. She was really happy at the moment. He Yuzhu had an illusion that this was not the same person Xiuqin he saw when he first arrived.

"Click~"

Master photographer He Yuzhu captured this happy moment in one go.

Seeing that Xiuqin would not be able to finish her work in a short time, He Yuzhu, led by Tian Yuexing, started taking pictures in the village.

Especially things related to Tian Weiguo's country. Finally, He Yuzhu came to the grave of Tian Weiguo's parents again and bowed three times.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Auntie, please allow me to take a photo and let Weiguo know that you are resting here forever."

"Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, Weiguo is a good man. He even asked Zhuzi to buy horses and donkeys for the village. Don't worry, although Weiguo can't come back, you don't have to worry about running out of paper money. The villagers said that they will come to see you after the ancestor worship and chat with you."

He Yuzhu knew that Tian Yuexing's words were meant for the two deceased elders as well as for himself, and he also hoped that he could convey these words to Tian Weiguo.

The more you use favors, the thinner they become. After the fifth degree of mourning, the relationship is no longer close. Tian Yuexing also wanted to leave some favors for the villagers, so that if the village encounters a disaster in the future, they will have a place to seek help.

"Uncle Tian, ​​let's go. I'll trouble you to take care of us from now on."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a hundred yuan and was about to hand it to Tian Yuexing.

"Zhu Zi, what do you mean?"

"Old man, this is for you to buy incense for Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian."

Tian Yuexing waved his hand when he heard this.

"Zhu Zi, I can't accept this money. If I accept it, the villagers will poke me in the back."

Seeing that Tian Yuexing refused straightforwardly and thinking that the sacrifice would not cost much money, He Yuzhu put the money away and did not mention the matter again.

When they returned to Tian Wei's house, the head-touching ceremony had been completed, the things had been distributed, and Sister Xiuqin was chatting and laughing with the villagers.

"Sister-in-law, let's take pictures after we're done."

Xiuqin, who was taking photos for the first time, no longer had the cheerful and cheerful look she had just now. She stood in front of the old house with her two children, looking stiff on her face.

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous, just look at me, it's not like you don't know me."

Thanks to He Yuzhu's jokes, Xiuqin was no longer nervous and smiled sweetly while hugging the two children.

"Brother Zhuzi, can I take a family photo with my uncle?"

He Yuzhu agreed without even thinking about it.

"Fellow villagers, it is impossible to take individual photos of you. I don't have enough film. But those who want to take photos should gather as families."

Some people were tempted when they heard that there was a share for them, but some people who were well-off and had already taken family photos did not feel comfortable bothering He Yuzhu.

In the end, only about two-thirds of the family portraits needed He Yuzhu to be taken.

For this purpose, He Yuzhu specially took a roll of new film to take family photos for the villagers, thinking that he would save some money and let Tian Weijun develop the photos when he went to the city. It could be regarded as a little token of his appreciation to the villagers.

All good things must come to an end. After bidding farewell to everyone in the village, Tian Yuexing was also kept by Tian Yuecheng.

Tonight, Aunt Tian made dumplings, which are only eaten during the New Year in the north. As the old saying goes, eat dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off. Tonight is a farewell for He Yuzhu, Xiuqin's mother and the other two.

Parting is always sad. Even Jun'er and Xiu'er, who had been particularly attached to He Yuzhu these days, did not sit next to He Yuzhu tonight, but sat with Tian Weijun's children.

Tian Erni was not as cheerful as before. She wiped away tears from time to time while sitting next to Xiuqin.

To be honest, He Yuzhu didn't enjoy the meal.

After dinner, we chatted until midnight.

When only the Tian family was left, Xiuqin took out a handkerchief, opened it, and it was full of banknotes. She handed them all to Tian Erni without leaving a single cent.

"Er Ni, thanks to you for helping me all these years. I am limited in my ability and probably can't send you off to get married. Take these notes and consider them as your dowry."

"Xiuqin, this is unacceptable~"

"Uncle and aunt, please stop saying that this money was given to Erni by me. You don't have the final say."

Then he left some cloth and other things to Tian Weijun's family.

"Sister-in-law, just don't dislike these things~"

"Sister-in-law~"

Tian Weijun's wife Zhang Wenjuan could no longer control herself and started crying while hugging Xiuqin. After all, only they themselves knew how much they, the sisters-in-law, had endured over the years.

After calming down Zhang Wenjuan, Xiuqin pulled Tian Yuecheng and Aunt Tian together and asked the two old people to sit on the kang.

He brought his two children and kowtowed three times respectfully to the elders.
