In the farm, Wang Shufen was washing her face in the yard.
As soon as Lu Fangfang entered the courtyard with her camera on her back, she pulled Sister Shufen and walked out.
While digging for caterpillar fungus in Gona, the two encountered Zhu Haiming, who was carrying a camera.
At that time, Sister Shufen wanted to take a photo and send it back to her hometown, but Zhu Haimei completely ignored them.
Now that she has a camera, Lu Fangfang's first thought is to take a picture of Sister Shufen.
"Girl, why did you drag me out here?"
Lu Fangfang didn't say anything. She lifted the leather cover and took out the camera inside.
"This... my goodness, sister, where did you come from?"
Wang Shufen hurriedly stepped forward and looked at it curiously.
She knew this thing was expensive; you couldn't buy it with money alone, you needed a ticket.
“It was sent to us by Mingcheng’s father from Beijing as a wedding gift.”
As she spoke, Lu Fangfang opened the viewfinder.
She was thinking that after a while, she would send some local specialties from Qilian Mountain to her father in Beijing as a token of her appreciation. Oh, and she should also send some to her own family.
Several months have passed, and there has been no news from home. I don't know if they received the money and tickets I sent back.
She shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore. If something happened at home, they would definitely send her a letter.
Holding the camera, she pointed the lens at Wang Shufen.
"Sister Shufen, stand at the gate, let me take a picture of you."
"Take my picture?"
Wang Shufen was overjoyed and hurriedly stood in front of the gate.
She straightened herself up, buttoned up her collar, and smoothed her hair. "Hey, is this okay?"
"Sister Shufen, smile."
Looking through the viewfinder, Lu Fangfang suddenly felt that something was missing from the door behind her, so she put the camera down again.
"Hey sis, what's wrong?"
Wang Shufen was getting anxious.
Lu Fangfang stroked her chin and thought for a moment before heading straight to the breeding farm.
She found the sign she had made before, dipped her brush in ink, and began to write.
Wang Shufen stood behind her, watching curiously.
"Qilian First Regiment Breeding Farm, girl, that's a good name. You can tell at a glance that it's a breeding farm from our regiment."
Lu Fangfang put down her brush. She had originally intended to write about the Qilian breeding farm, but after thinking about it, she decided it was better to keep it low-key and added a ball of ink.
The two took the sign and went outside to hang it on the gate, and now it was complete.
Wang Shufen stood in front of the gate, her face beaming with smiles.
Lu Fangfang, holding her camera, decisively pressed the shutter, "Click."
Not satisfied with just one photo, she called out the little flowers and Tibetan foxes from the breeding farm.
She had the two little ones stand on either side of Sister Shufen, and then she took another picture.
"Sister Shufen, can you take a picture of me too?"
Lu Fangfang took the camera and spoke to Sister Shufen.
The camera is all set up now; just point it and press the shutter.
"Hey girl, I'm not very good at this, so don't blame me if the photos don't turn out well."
"Sister Shufen, it's okay, you can take the pictures."
Lu Fangfang handed the camera to Wang Shufen, then squatted down in front of the gate.
She held the baby Tibetan fox in her left arm and the little flower in her right, her face beaming with two dimples.
"Hey girl, I took the picture."
"Click".
...
After taking photos in front of the farm gate, Lu Fangfang pulled Sister Shufen to the wasteland by the river to the north.
At this time, the rapeseed flowers and sunflowers along the riverbank are in full bloom, stretching for hundreds of meters as a sea of flowers.
The two of them looked at the rapeseed flowers and started grinning foolishly.
"Girl, I've discovered that this land is really good for growing rapeseed. Let's plant more next year and plant rapeseed on both sides of the river."
Lu Fangfang nodded. Next year, we need to diversify our planting methods.
Turning her head, she noticed that Sister Shufen was smiling even more beautifully than before.
Lu Fangfang picked up her camera and took a picture of Sister Shufen.
"Hey girl, wait for me a moment, I'll go and call Tie Dan and Da Ya over."
Wang Shufen hurriedly returned home.
After a while, she arrived with her two children. Standing in front of the sea of rapeseed flowers, Lu Fangfang took a few more pictures of the mother and her two children.
Unfortunately, color film wasn't available in China at that time; everything was black and white, so the photos couldn't capture the beauty of the scenery.
Lu Fangfang only felt satisfied after shooting a whole roll of film, and then she felt a pang of heartache.
In just a short while, she had spent almost half a month's salary.
To see how the photos turned out, she had to go to a photo studio in the county town to get them developed. She told Sister Shufen about it, then carried the camera back to the farm.
"Chirp chirp~"
"Chirp chirp~"
Inside the incubator, Lu Fangfang opened the lid of the brooder box and began to observe the baby quails inside.
The quails have only been hatched for a day, and they are still very small, just like little meatballs.
She caught a few, touched the little quails' bellies, and felt that there wasn't much food left.
In the enamel basin next to her, there was corn feed that Sister Shufen had mixed. She took a spoon and put a little into the feeding box.
Seeing that the quails had started eating, she put the lid down.
She took the blanket that had been lining the incubator outside and draped it over a rope.
The bones on the roof of the breeding farm shed had also dried, so she took a sack and collected all the bones.
She tied the two burlap sacks together and placed them on the back of the little wild donkey.
"Little Flower, Little Tibetan Fox, you two stay here and guard the house. Don't let strangers in."
"Meow~"
"Awoo~"
The two little ones, lying under the birch tree, both called out to her.
"By the way, you two behave yourselves and don't go to the incubation room."
After saying that, Lu Fangfang was still a little worried, so she turned around and locked the door of the incubation room again.
