A guide to the first love of a spoiled dog

Xia Yu has not used a camera for a long time. His photographic equipment is stored in a small room with the door closed all the time. After many attempts, he is still unsatisfied with his photographic works.

It's not that I don't love it, nor that I don't desire it.

It’s just that every time I pick up the camera and focus on the viewfinder, my heart is quickly enveloped in a sense of loss: The two people I want to record the most have left, and I can’t see them anywhere...

The beauty of the past and the confusion of the future blurred his eyes, his hands trembled, his heart beat so fast that he almost suffocated.

But now the request in front of him made it difficult for him to open his mouth to refuse, especially the old man's eyes, sad and desperate, with a hint of shame, if she had no other way out, she wouldn't want to bother others, right?

Grandma Qiu patted Xia Yu's shoulder, "We also went to the photo studio just now, but Grandma Yin was very against the people there. Whenever they talked to her, she trembled with fright, and Douding also barked... Before coming, I also changed her clothes."

Xia Yu asked blankly, "Isn't grandma afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid," Grandma Qiu said with a smile, "You are a kind-hearted child, have you helped Grandma Yin feed the beans a few times?" "She recognizes you and knows that you are a good person."

Xia Yu did have the habit of feeding stray cats and dogs. For a long time, he felt that he was the same as these cats and dogs.

Seeing Grandma Yin holding Douding all the time, her thin body began to shake, exhausted, Xia Yu greeted them: "Why don't you come in and sit down first, I'll think about it. I used to do field photography, and the content like this I may not be able to take a good picture."

Grandma Qiu waved her hand, "If you agree, I will take her back to her own home first, and then we can shoot there. Grandma Yin never goes to other people's homes, and I persuaded her for three or four days before she agreed to go in." Taken in a photo studio."

"Go, go to my house!" Grandma Yin was a servant, and mistakenly thought that Xia Yu had agreed, and a look of joy appeared on the vicissitudes of life, and her eyes were lit up, "My house has Hua'er, and Douding'er's small bed, I will give it to you." You drink sweet wine!"

"Yes, Hua'er~" Grandma Qiu coaxed her like a child, "Let's go back first, can you show me your flowers?"

"No, don't you want to take pictures?" Grandma Yin's expression turned half cold in an instant, her eyes were full of fear, but the corners of her mouth were still grinning, slowly drooping, and flattened into a line.

"Xiao Xia also has a job. He has to be busy with other things. I can't take pictures today." Grandma Qiu saw Xia Yu's embarrassment. If it was an ordinary request, Xia Yu would always agree without hesitation; For his own difficulties, Grandma Qiu was unwilling to force him.

Helping Grandma Yin downstairs, Grandma Qiu turned to look at Xia Yu, winked at him, and whispered, "It's okay, go get busy." Grandma Yin chattered all the way: "Can Douding survive until autumn Yo, it's my wife!"

After closing the door and opening another door, Xia Yu came to a room she hadn't visited for a long time.

You need to choose a suitable camera. Grandma Yin and Doudinger don’t like to move, and they take portraits, so I use a 50mm fixed-focus lens with a larger aperture...By the way, to record Grandma Yin’s daily life, I still have to bring a camera Zoom lens, but the multiplier does not need to be too large...

Do I need to bring lighting equipment?In order to take wedding photos for Lao Meng and Zhenzhen, I bought a lot of lighting equipment...Choose some low-key ones to bring; reflectors and the like, for fear of scaring the elderly, when the time comes, find a mirror and light them up. good.

However, the rainy season in M ​​City has passed, the temperature is rising, and every day is sunny...so it is not bad to use natural light.

After tidying up roughly like this, the dusty camera bag in the corner of the room was stuffed to the brim. Xia Yu held the bag on her shoulders—this kind of weight, this kind of excitement, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.

After changing his shoes, he found a rubber band, put his hair back on his head, tied it low, and walked out of the house neatly.

As soon as she walked out of the corridor, Xia Yu ran into a volunteer who had been called "Sister Tiantian, Sister Tiantian" by Cupid for more than a month.The other party was holding the "Introduction to Photography" and studying hard. Seeing that he was carrying a camera bag, he asked pleasantly, "Are you going to take pictures of Grandma Yin too?"

Sister Tiantian patted the canvas bag she was carrying, and said with a smile, "I'm going to take pictures of her too. I borrowed a camera temporarily, but I don't know how to use it..."

"So you're cramming?" Xia Yu also smiled.

"Oh, what can I do? The hospital no longer advises Grandma Yin to continue her treatment. The old man is also pitiful. Just such a little wish must be fulfilled." After speaking, Sister Tiantian sighed again.

Suddenly remembered something, Tiantian asked him: "Has Hu Rong ever come to trouble you again?"

"No more." Xia Yu shook her head, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help that day, and thank you for treating Cupid's wound later."

"You're welcome, besides, didn't you send a message to thank you alone!" Sister Tiantian showed a sweet smile, "But, you know, many girls nearby have noticed you, but unfortunately you don't like girls ..."

While talking, the two walked into the building where Grandma Yin lived.

Miss Tiantian said in a low voice, "It's cheaper than Cupid."

"what?"

"Nothing." Sister Tiantian said, "bless you."

Xia Yu didn't ask who it was, but smiled and said, "Thank you." He stopped in front of Grandma Yin's house, and knocked gently on the door.

Grandma Yin's balcony is full of flowers, like a big flower house.Sister Tiantian brought some cosmetics to help Grandma Yin dress up, and pinned a hairpin in the shape of a rhododendron next to her ear, and praised: "Azalea and Miss Rhododendron, you are so beautiful!"

"Really?" Grandma Yin showed a girl-like timidity on her face, she kept looking at herself in the mirror, "Miss Du Juan, I belong to Miss Du Juan!"

Grandma Qiu explained to Xia Yu that Yin Dujuan has been working as a servant for a family since she was a little girl, and she especially likes to take care of flowers and plants. After the turmoil, she wandered with that family, and sent away the eldest lady who was dependent on each other a few years ago.She never marries for life, and she doesn't care about men.

At first, Xia Yu didn't understand the meaning of "not a rare man". Later, she saw the photos of her old friend in Grandma Yin's room. A delicate and beautiful girl went from being young to being old, and finally it was a frozen black and white portrait. , and I understand a little bit.

Grandma Yin put on the flowers, walked to the balcony and stood up, and asked shyly, "Can I take a photo here? Missy likes the flowers I raise the most..."

Xia Yu set up the camera, Sister Tiantian helped with lighting, and Auntie Qiu tilted her head and watched with a kind smile, without hesitation praising: "You are so beautiful, old sister, you are so beautiful!"

In the middle of the balcony, surrounded by colorful flowers, Grandma Yin smiled contentedly while hugging Douding.After three shutter shots, tears gradually appeared in the eyes of the character in the viewfinder, and his lips were trembling slightly, but still raised.

Douding couldn't understand why the master was crying and licked away Grandma Yin's tears in a panic; Xia Yu pressed the shutter a few times nervously to record this bitter and happy scene.

This is the precious scenery in his camera. The picture is frozen, and the sincere feelings are witnessed. It takes a long time to condense an amber.

Afterwards, Xia Yu took photos of Grandma Yin's life, and asked Grandma Yin to wander around the room: "Just pretend we don't exist, and just do what you usually do the most."

At first, Grandma Yin was a little at a loss, but fortunately she was hard of hearing and couldn't hear the frequent shutter sounds, so she relaxed a lot after teasing Douding.

She washed an apple for herself to eat, cooked meat for Douding, tore it tremblingly into thin strips, and put it in his bowl.

Then he took out a dry soft cloth, walked into the bedroom slowly, wiped the photos one by one, and talked to the people in the photos: "Miss, I finally took a photo of Douding today~"

"After he's gone, I can see him from time to time so that I won't forget what he looks like."

"Today's apples are still very hard. They've been stored for three or four days. It's too laborious to eat. Let's steam them in the future."

"Hey, do you see the beautiful flowers on my head? Do you like cuckoos the most?"

"Hey, I didn't take a photo with Miss in the end, it was a waste of time."

……

"But it's not in vain to meet Miss."

Xia Yu quickly pressed the shutter, recorded, retained, and engraved these scenes as if venting.

The noon sun was so glaring that it made everyone's eyes turn red.

On the day I went to send the photos, Grandma Qiu, Sister Tiantian and their older sisters were all there. Grandma Yin couldn't get out of bed, she held the photo album and read it over and over again, and asked the people around her from time to time: "Is this me?", "I still look like this?"

Her old sister was also curious: "Yes, this is you! Oh, the young man is really good, he took my old sister so beautifully!"

Xia Yu and Sister Tiantian exchanged glances, nodded, and Sister Tiantian walked to the bedside, "Grandma, there is nothing I can do to help you, just now that technology is advanced, and photos can be synthesized..."

Grandma Yin blinked her eyes, not understanding what she meant.

Sister Tiantian took out a framed photo from her bag.In the picture, the 19-year-old lady wearing azaleas and the 90-year-old grandma Yin wearing azaleas stand together on a balcony full of flowers. Both pairs of bright eyes are full of friendship, staring at the most beloved person in the void.

"Hey, hey..." Grandma Yin was so excited that she couldn't speak, she clasped the photo frame tightly to her chest, she just shed tears and wailed like a naive child.

On the third day after getting the photos, Grandma Yin left.

New and old, real and fake photos are placed in the room, the time of nearly a hundred years is upside down and confused, the childhood looks back, the brave and firm contract, the enthusiasm of the young and the young, the stumbling together...

Yin Dujuan closed her eyes contentedly. In the early morning of the same day, her "wife" Douding lay on her lap and fell into a long sleep calmly together.
