Photos and stories, classic prose

There are many old photos of her, some are yellow and some are wrinkled.

In the first black-and-white photo, she was still a big girl.

She has simple short hair, wears a green military uniform and smiles contentedly. In the lower right corner of the photo is printed: 19491taken in Qingdao on October 30th.

She was born in 1930, when she was only 19 years old. Looking back, from the age of seven to fifteen, she experienced eight years of anti-Japanese war. From 15 to 18, she experienced three years of civil war. Her childhood and adolescence were spent in a war filled with smoke.

She once said that during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, she lived in fear.

At that time, she had a wish, a very simple wish. Get up early every day, and when you can open your eyes, you can see the old mill and donkey in the yard. She is just a woman under the age of fifteen. Ordinary people don't have high heroic dreams, but they have the simplest but most real wishes in their hearts.

During the civil war, she was over fifteen, more or less sensible, and was able to help her family do odd jobs. Her father went out early and came back late, and worked hard to get corn and sorghum, enough for the whole family to eat for a day. Her mother looked at her and her brothers and sisters, mending and expecting the man to come home.

At that time, she and her mother had the same idea, hoping that her father would go home early and bring back vegetables and vegetables. Then, she and her mother put the food out together and sent it to a pair of wide-open eyes.

Three years later, it was liberated. Father took the whole family to the photo studio to take a family photo.

She is stubborn and her face is full of shyness. Because, she saw a girl about her age take a single photo just now. Her father granted her wish and asked the photographer to take a photo for her alone. So, she had the first personal photo in her life.

That yellow black and white photo has a history of 58 years, and it is heavy in the palm of your hand.

In the second black-and-white photo, she is a bride.

That year, she was twenty-three years old, married the only man in her life, and lived with this man for fifty years.

She said that on the day of taking photos, she cleaned up at home for a long time and combed her hair.

In the photo studio, photographers are troublesome and always find fault with the posture of her and the men around her. Their bodies are either too left or too right. Finally, after the photo shoot, she and the man rushed out of the shed, took a deep breath and laughed.

In the third black-and-white photo, she, her man and her children are standing in front of the tile house.

It should be in her yard.

There is an open space in the yard, just enough for eight people.

She has six children, five men and one woman. The oldest child is older than the youngest child 15 years old. She still has simple short hair, wearing a dacron shirt, straight pants and a pair of shiny flat-bottomed black shoes.

Nearly forty years old, a man three years older than her stood beside her. Both of them stood straight and smiled.

The six children have different heads and different expressions. The youngest boy is only three years old, holding the hand of the youngest sister, and his black eyes are shining.

She said that when the photo was taken, the boy just got up and cried for a long time, and his sisters took turns to persuade him for a long time before he calmed down. When the photographer was invited, the boy began to cry again because he was afraid of strangers.

Finally, his sister hugged him and jogged around the yard to tease him. He finally cooperated in taking pictures, because he was satisfied with breaking the red hairpin pinned to his eldest sister's head.

When taking pictures, the master is very picky about everyone's standing posture and expression. It was noon and it was hot. Children are afraid of the sun, and some can't hold on. She shouted at the master in desperation, scaring him to press the shutter quickly.

So, that photo was born.

Both she and the man are smiling, and the six children have different expressions. With good is honest eldest daughter, cunning second daughter, stunned third daughter.

In the fourth black-and-white photo, she was surrounded by six children and stood among a group of people.

Behind that group of people is a parked motorcycle. On the side, you can see half a desert.

It should have been taken when we arrived in the northwest.

The year before last, her man responded to the call to support the third-line construction and went to a provincial capital in northwest China with like-minded people. The next year, their family also went to the northwest with the group.

After getting off the train, she and her family took photos in front of the locomotive.

She said that at that time, she and six children had been on the train for two nights. The bumps along the way made her and her children's bones sour.

Finally, she got off the train and faced the scorching sun. She can't wait to take the children to their residence at once. But the leader wants to take pictures. While everyone was waiting in line, she took out a cloth sheet from her bag and covered the children's heads.

The leader's camera was broken, so he just sat in the sand and fiddled with it for a long time.

Tired of waiting, she simply went back to the carriage and asked the conductor for a hot water bottle and a glass cup. When the children and others finished drinking water, the leader just fixed the camera. As soon as he called, everyone was in high spirits and forgot the thermos. So, in the photo, next to the liberation shoes of the man on the right in the front row, there is a thermos bottle.

In the fifth black-and-white photo, she stood in front of the wheat pile, and the eldest daughter and the second daughter stood around.

She said that at that time, she was very busy, having to work and take care of the remaining four children. After graduating from high school, the eldest daughter and the second daughter went to the countryside to be educated youth.

They are far away in the country, dozens of kilometers away from her. At the end of each month, she drives to see them.

At that time, there was only one bus to the countryside a day. Fortunately, you can find a seat. Unfortunately, she had to stand all the time.

She was eager to see her daughters when she went, so she didn't feel that time passed slowly. After coming back, she thought about the situation after meeting her daughters, and she didn't feel that the time on the road passed slowly.

Once, she borrowed a camera from the factory, learned how to use it, and then took it to the country. In fact, there are only a few photos of her and her daughters. At that time, some energetic boys among the educated youth desperately grabbed the camera and then rushed to take pictures.

She has been worried that the boys will break the camera.

In the sixth color photo, she took a photo with her eldest daughter who has become the bride.

It's a color photo, and it says in the lower right corner:1June 980 12.

At that time, the eldest daughter had just got married. On the day she came home, she took a photo with her eldest daughter and son-in-law on a whim. The atmosphere of the whole family was immediately mobilized. Everyone smiled and took photos with the bride and groom.

After an afternoon of tossing, the whole family went outside from home and went to the nearby Cultural Palace to continue taking pictures.

But the film has been sold out. She and her son ran to the nearby photo studio and found it closed. She is in a hurry. My son ran to his classmate's house and asked him to borrow a blank film. Students don't want film, but want to borrow their son's table tennis bat. The whole family took a group photo in front of the rockery in the Cultural Palace. This photo was preserved. But after the photo was taken, the eldest daughter's red gloves disappeared. She called on the whole family to find red gloves for her eldest daughter. Finally, she found red gloves in her coat pocket.

She laughed at her memory.

In the seventh color photo, she and her nephew took a group photo at the lake in the park.

.

At that time, her eldest nephew was already in primary school. There was no one at home that weekend, only my eldest daughter. The eldest nephew is bent on going to the park to see monkeys. She naturally indulged her eldest nephew and forced her eldest daughter and son-in-law to respond to his call.

When he came to the park, the big nephew looked at the monkey and saw some children taking pictures by the lake. Naturally, he was unwilling to lag behind and begged his grandmother.

Naturally, she couldn't let the baby down, urging her eldest son-in-law to come to the photo studio by the lake, queue up, pay money and take pictures.

It takes two days to develop the photos.

She assured her nephew. On Tuesday, early in the morning, she came to the park by car and took photos. After returning, she went directly to her nephew's primary school by bus and watched him leave school at the door. After school, she can't wait to show her big nephew photos. The eldest nephew is naturally very happy. She was happy, too.

In the eighth photo, she appeared at the wedding of her youngest son.

In the color photo, she kept laughing with joy.

In order to prepare for her youngest son's wedding, she worked hard day and night, leading her daughters to go shopping everywhere for three months. At that time,1June, 994, videos were very popular at weddings. But there is no special wedding emcee team in the market.

She urged the man to find the factory union. At that time, she and her staff had retired for many years and were not familiar with the young people in the factory.

She went to the old factory director. The old factory director and her family support the third line from Qingdao to the northwest. She is naturally familiar with the old factory director's family.

The old factory director accepted her invitation and contacted the director of the TV station. On the day of my son's wedding, the director of the TV station took a camera and recorded the wedding scene. The old factory director is a witness and speaks at the wedding.

She stood under the stage, full of pride and smiling from ear to ear.

The person in charge of taking pictures took pictures of her, which have been left to this day.

In the photo in Chapter 9, she is holding her grandson.

When her grandson was full moon. She clung to her baby for fear that her grandson would be disturbed by everyone's laughter and noise. That cautious look makes people laugh.

It was suggested that she take a photo with her naked grandson. Before taking pictures, she closed all the doors and windows of the living room for fear of air leakage. Anxious to finish taking photos, she immediately picked up a small blanket and wrapped her grandson up.

In the tenth photo, she wears a birthday hat on her head and her eyes are deep and distant.

By then, she had lost her husband.

The man who slept with her for more than fifty years left her after a serious illness. She watched him go. After the man left, the children discussed taking her away to prevent her from seeing things and thinking of people in the empty house.

She is very strong, refused the kindness of her children and continued to live an ordinary life without competition.

But that winter, she got sick immediately, and her intestines were about to throw up. At the age of 73, she underwent surgery under general anesthesia.

She survived the operation, survived the pain of the postoperative wound, and went home again, returning to an ordinary life.

The children proposed celebrating her birthday. She was involved and had to agree. So the whole family gave her a birthday. Her man used to watch over her on her birthday. But now that the man is gone, it reminds her of a past event.

Once, at a family dinner, she and the man crossed the road in tandem. A taxi stopped suddenly, and her legs trembled with fear. Her man followed trembling. Judging from his posture, if anything happens to her, he will risk his life and let the car knock him down to stay with her.

Now that the man is gone, he should look at her from the sky. So, she should live well.

In the eleventh photo, she sat in the cabin of the plane, leaning against the window, smiling happily.

She flew before she was eighty.

That plane ticket was bought for her by her eldest nephew.

When she got off the plane, she asked the stewardess to take pictures. She told everyone that her eldest nephew bought her a plane ticket and asked her to fly back to distant Qingdao from the northwest.

In the twelfth photo, she is sitting on the seaside of Qingdao, wearing a travel hat, and there is a vast sea behind her.

Her niece returned to Zibo from the northwest, from Zibo to Qingdao, from Qingdao to Yantai, from Yantai to Dalian, and finally to Beijing. When she was still able to walk, she followed her niece around the Bohai Sea in China. She said that this circle represents perfection, the perfection of the journey, and of course the perfection of her wish.

In the thirteenth photo, she took a photo with a handsome guy in a doctor's uniform.

Her eldest nephew got a doctorate in medicine. She stood beside the doctor of medicine and smiled happily.

Before taking pictures, she looked at the red doctor's uniform again and again, and touched it with her hands again and again. In this life, she is only highly educated and can read, not blind. In this life, besides working and taking care of the family, her main task is to take care of the children. Watch your children grow up, watch your children grow up.

In the storm, her short legs kept running, from home to school, from school to home, again and again, I don't know how many times.

At that time, she held her big nephew's tender hand. Now, his big nephew holds her old hand.

After the photo shoot, he dressed her rickety body in a red robe.

She is a doctor asked by Life University! Can afford to wear that bright red doctor's robe!

In the fourteenth photo, she took a photo with her second nephew who had been worried for a long time.

The second nephew crossed the ocean and studied in a country on the other side of the ocean for many years. This Spring Festival, he went home to visit his 87-year-old grandmother.

In the past days, she was always on tenterhooks and watched the news broadcast every night.

If there is a snowstorm in the news, or there is a shooting incident on campus, she always tells him by international phone.

Don't run around, be smart, be patient, it's a blessing to suffer, and at the best, the loss of money is small.

This year, the people he missed returned to China. She can finally stop worrying.

In the fourteenth photo, she took a photo with a pair of handsome men and beautiful women with high values.

This photo was also taken during the Spring Festival this year.

That pair of handsome men and beautiful women with high face value are the best friends of her grandson and his grandson.

She still has simple short hair, but she is completely gray. It's the same face, but it's wrinkled like a walnut skin. The same hands, just thin and wobbly. 87-year-old, although old, but still hale and hearty, do not wear reading glasses, do not wear hearing AIDS.

Her grandson told her that he was graduating from college and had a girlfriend. Hearing this, she was as happy as a child.

She has a heart-to-heart relationship with her grandson, just like two children have a heart-to-heart relationship.

Grandson is still childish, and she seems to be rejuvenated. There are always endless topics among children.
