Chapter 104 Photography
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the letter. The envelope was well sealed and he couldn't see the contents inside. The key was that after seeing the "Sender's Address and Name" in the last column, Chen Ling was a little stunned.
It was actually written by my sister-in-law Wang Zhenzhen.
The father-in-law has a daughter all the time. When he and Wang Susu got married, his sister-in-law was only eight years old, and now she is barely ten years old. This little girl is in her second or third year of elementary school. She probably doesn’t even know her own name.
The writing is crooked and I don’t know what to write in the letter.
However, feeling that the envelope was quite thick, Chen Ling frowned subconsciously, not suspecting that he was there, so he held the letter and walked home. Liu Nier and her children spent Sunday and ran around outside for most of the day. They also played at this time.
When I got tired, I jumped behind him and went home.
At this time, Wang Susu was washing clothes in the yard while the sun was better in the afternoon. When she saw him leaving and coming back, she asked casually, but then she heard Chen Ling say that there was a letter from her mother's family, written by her sister, and she just said it all at once.
stunned.
"Really believe it?"
"Do you really know how to write letters?"
Wang Susu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran to Chen Ling. She didn't even bother to wash her hands. She just rubbed her body hurriedly, took the envelope from Chen Ling and opened it.
As a result, I opened it too quickly, and a pile of scattered coins fell out: one cent, two cents, fifty cents, one yuan, two yuan...
Wang Susu carefully picked up the money, held it in her hand, and opened the letter gently.
What caught my eye were the crooked and naive lines, but full of caring words. Before I could read a few sentences in full, Wang Susu's eyes became blurred with tears. When she saw the children were still in the yard, she turned around and ran quickly.
Entered the house.
Chen Ling followed behind without saying a word. When he entered the house, he saw Wang Susu hiding behind the door, holding a letter and crying while reading it. Especially when she saw the last sentence "Sister, I miss you", Wang Susu couldn't help it anymore.
He threw himself into Chen Ling's arms and cried loudly.
"Aling, I want to go home."
"Go back, come back tomorrow."
Chen Ling nodded vigorously and held Wang Susu tightly in his arms.
He also saw the content of the letter. It was written by Wang Zhenzhen with a pencil. Many of the words he couldn't write were replaced by pinyin, but he wrote them carefully stroke by stroke. He didn't know how many times the little girl Wang Zhenzhen wrote back and forth.
It took a lot of time to write this letter.
And the money was not even fifty yuan. It was the money the little girl caught and sold for scorpions. She had saved it for more than a year. She was afraid that Wang Susu would be wronged here and bullied by her bad brother-in-law and had no money to spend, so she secretly sent it to the mailbox.
coming.
It is difficult to send money in this era. If the amount is too large, we will not send it. Unless you go to the post office in a larger place and issue a remittance slip, it is similar to sending a telegram. After the post office that sends the money writes the remittance slip, the post office where the payee is located will send the slip.
Type it out, send it to the payee, and use the slip to collect the money.
But if the amount is small, it doesn't matter, plus one or two yuan for postage, it will be put in an envelope and sent over.
"I miss my parents, my eldest brother and my second brother, I miss Zhenzhen, I miss my grandma so much..."
Wang Susu was still sobbing and mumbling. She didn't feel anything bad when her elder brother came, but after seeing her sister's letter today, her defenses were broken by those childish words, and the longing she had accumulated for two years was gone.
I was vented by this letter.
Chen Ling hugged her silently and waited until she calmed down before softly talking about accompanying her home.
"I'm fine, Aling. Let's go back to our father's grave next month."
Wang Susu wiped the tears on her face and sobbed slightly.
After crying, she calmed down.
She knows that there are some things that cannot be left to her own whim. Even if her parents and her eldest and second brothers don't care, the eldest and second brothers are married, and the two sisters-in-law are not easy to get along with. Although the married daughter throws away the water, it still doesn't matter.
You have to think about your parents. They spend much more time with their daughter-in-law than they do with their daughter who is married outside. They cannot make things difficult for their daughter-in-law and cause trouble for the two elders.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Chen Ling could only sigh twice. This was something that a son-in-law could not interfere with, but considering Wang Susu's longing for her, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Susu, since I really sent you a letter, you should also reply home."
"I won't go to the mountain in the afternoon. I'm going to find Du Juan and take some photos of us. Then I'll put it in a letter and send it to our parents so that they can see what our family looks like now. What do you think?
OK?"
Wang Susu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt less uncomfortable in her heart. She said yes again and again, and asked Chen Ling not to forget to buy envelopes, letter paper and ink, so she happily went out and washed the clothes.
Just when they walked out of the house, Liu Nier and the others were gone, and Chen Ling didn't bother to care about them. These monkeys were going crazy all day long. Anyway, after Xiaomori's lesson, they didn't dare to go to the waterside to play around anymore.
There are not many dangerous places around the village. You can go anywhere else you like.
Then he went to the elementary school and called Du Juan over. Du Juan knew Chen Ling's family first in Chen Wangzhuang. Last time, he spent the night with Wang Susu at Wang Jusheng's house. They were also familiar with each other. I heard that the young couple
I wanted to take pictures, so I picked up my camera and went home with Chen Ling without saying a word.
Since Du Juan often wanders around the village, Wang Susu really didn't expect that Chen Ling would bring someone here so quickly, "Sister Juan, please wait a moment. I'll clean up the yard first."
"Haha, it's okay. Don't be in a hurry, Su Su. You can take pictures whenever you want. I have nothing to do with my free time."
Du Juan squinted her eyes and smiled. She was very fond of the young couple Chen Ling and Wang Susu. They lived happily every day and had leisure in their busy schedule. She gradually began to envy such a life.
.
Although Du Juan said so, Wang Susu still packed up the clothes, laundry tubs, washboards, etc. in the yard. Chen Ling also helped clean up the debris and put them in the backyard together.
"Come here quickly, Aling, hurry up and change into new clothes."
In order to show a good side to her parents and family, Wang Susu had no choice but to ask Du Juan to wait a little longer, then dragged Chen Ling into the house, changed clothes, combed her hair, and dressed up, making Chen Ling look two or three years younger.
Nodding with satisfaction, he began to wash his face and comb his hair, and put on new clothes that he was usually reluctant to wear.
After finishing their work, the two people, who had cleaned up neatly, sat side by side on two stools in the courtyard, showing bright smiles, as if taking wedding photos, and took a group photo.
Then he called Heiwa Xiaojin over, and the two of them squatted one on each side, and then took another photo, followed by the grape trellis, the lotus pond, the chicken coop, the duck pen, and almost every place in the yard. They took photos.
There are also photos of Chen Ling and Wang Susu alone.
…
"The wealthy family took pictures, the wealthy family took pictures."
I don't know some good-hearted woman who passed by the courtyard gate and saw this scene, and started shouting outside. After a while, everyone nearby who was idle at home came running over.
"You are not young and chaste, what do you look like? You are rich and noble, the couple behaves as if they are married."
"Isn't that right? Dogs with horns are doing foreign things."
"What foreign things are you talking about without knowing anything? I heard the little boys shouting in the village before. It was Su Su's family who sent a message. Fu Gui must be afraid that his uncle will come and beat him again.
, hurry up and take two pictures to show to your parents."
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of laughter.
Chen Ling didn't refute after hearing this, so he went to the backyard and brought the little white cow over. He and Wang Susu rode on it and took two pictures respectively. Then the chickens, ducks, quails, and rabbits all called to him, and no one was left behind.
"This guy is so prosperous and wealthy. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law must feel at ease after seeing this, and they won't let your brother-in-law beat you again."
"But if we really want to talk about the six animals, pigs and sheep are still missing."
"Hahahaha, how about we lead the pig for you and bring you two sheep?"
A group of people watched and made noises, but Chen Ling kicked them out.
"Let's go, let's go quickly after seeing the excitement. Are there no jobs in the fields?"
These people were not annoyed after hearing this, but laughed even more cheerfully: "Look at Fugui's baby, he's blushing. Damn it, I didn't even see him blush when he got his wife. He's almost having a baby and he's still embarrassed."
Already."
After laughing and making trouble, someone actually gave Chen Ling a big goose and brought two sheep over.
When Chen Ling couldn't laugh or cry, he saw that Wang Susu was in high spirits, so he didn't say much. He put the geese and the sheep in the yard and took two photos together, but the two guys kept looking back after taking the photo.
Hiding, after all, is not as natural and friendly as a home-raised thing, and the photos taken will probably look stiff.
But these are not important, as long as Wang Susu is happy, then there will be no problem.
After taking the photo and everyone dispersed, Du Juan took out the film and handed it to Chen Ling. When the time comes, he can go to any photo studio in the county to develop it. However, he couldn't get the photo immediately. He had to wait.
A few days ago.
Chen Ling put away the film, and Wang Susu had already poured tea for Du Juan, and they talked together. Since they came to help take pictures, they naturally had to entertain them. But Wang Susu's company was enough, so he got up and went out.
After arriving home, I went to buy some letter paper and a bottle of ink.
I have a fountain pen at home, but I rarely use it, but the quality is quite good. After keeping it for many years, and after cleaning the waste ink, it still works well. Writing two letters is not a problem at all.
I tried the pen, put these things in the drawer, waiting for Wang Susu to use when writing letters, and then collected the sundries that had been moved to the backyard. While I was busy, I saw Liu Nier and the other little kids.
People poked their heads outside the courtyard gate, muttering something in a low voice.
Seeing him looking over, he chuckled and pushed Xizi forward.
"You little monkeys are so sneaky, what do you want to do?"
Xizi is an introverted little girl with a very thin face. When she saw Chen Ling staring, she trembled and said, "Uncle Fugui, I'm here to see Aunt Susu."
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Wang Susu heard the noise and walked out of the main room. She looked at the little dolls in the courtyard and looked a little strange, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"Aunt Susu, don't cry anymore. I'll give you this to buy delicious food."
Xizi took out a can bottle from behind, filled with colorful coins, and carefully handed it to Wang Susu.
Wang Susu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the little ones must have heard her crying in the room just now, but she didn't expect that the little ones had such thoughts, which made her eyes feel hot again, and she squatted down.
He touched Xizi's little head and said, "Xizi is so good, but my aunt is an adult now and doesn't need these things. Xizi should keep them to buy delicious food for herself."
"Auntie, don't you think it's enough? We still have more."
Xizi pursed her lips slightly and said softly.
