Chapter 123 The First Group Photo
After a walk around the garden, we were almost done taking individual photos of the leaders.
After the leaders left, only reporters from the military newspaper and the field newspaper remained in the garden to organize their cameras and tidy up the venue.
He Tingjun deliberately looked in the direction of the reporters.
Suddenly, a famous reporter saw He Tingjun and recognized him: "He Tingzhi?"
"Reporter Sun." He Tingjun smiled and nodded at him.
Sun Hongwen noticed the hospital gown he was wearing and asked with concern, "He Zhizhi, are you injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." He Tingjun glanced at the Seagull camera he was holding and said, "Reporter Sun, could you please take a picture of me? My family is worried about me when they find out I'm injured, so I wanted to send a picture back to comfort them."
"Of course, no problem." Sun Hongwen agreed immediately: "Where should I take the photo?"
"Over there." He Tingjun pointed to the altar planted with holly trees.
Sun Hongwen nodded: "Hello, holly is evergreen all year round. Using holly as a background is very appropriate, full of vitality."
He Tingjun turned his head and said to Yun Qiao, "Please help me over."
"good."
Yun Qiao supported He Tingjun and walked to the front of the altar. Just as she was about to leave, he grabbed her wrist as she turned around.
Yun Qiao looked at him puzzledly, "Huh?"
He Tingjun looked at her with a smile and asked softly: "Yun Qiao, let's take a photo together."
Yun Qiao hesitated, and Sun Hongwen smiled and said, "We have this opportunity, so let's take a photo together. Otherwise, if we want to take a photo, we have to go to the commune's state-owned photo studio, which is not very expensive."
Hearing Sun Hongwen, the man holding the camera, say so, Yun Qiao nodded and said, "Then take a picture."
She stood next to He Tingjun, with a palm's width between them.
Sun Hongwen raised his camera, adjusted the focus, pointed it at the two men, and said, "Dear friends, look at the camera and smile."
Yun Qiao subconsciously smiled.
He Tingjun smiled and quietly moved towards Yun Qiao. Just when his arm was about to touch her shoulder, there was a "click" and the picture froze.
"Okay, perfect." Sun Hongwen said, "Female Zhi, please move aside. I'll take a solo photo of He Zhi."
"Okay, Sun Qizhi." Yun Qiao tactfully stepped aside and said, "Is it okay now?"
"Okay."
Sun Hongwen raised his camera and pointed it at He Tingjun, adjusting the focus and asking him to adjust his expression: "He Tingjun, don't look so serious. Relax your lips, don't purse them, smile, just like before. Oh, right, good."
Sun Hongwen finally pressed the shutter.
"Okay." Sun Hongwen seemed to have noticed something and teased him with a smile, "He Yizhi, you were smiling naturally when you were taking pictures with the female Yizhi just now. Why aren't you smiling when you're taking your own pictures?"
He Tingjun glanced at Yun Qiao secretly and said calmly, "It's a bit cold. My face is stiff after filming."
"Hahaha, that's a good excuse." Sun Hongwen laughed heartily, patted He Tingjun on the shoulder and said, "It takes about half a month to develop the photos after they are taken. Do you want to develop two copies of both photos?"
"Okay, I'll print two copies each." He Tingjun said, "I'll pay you for the photos later."
"Xiao, I know your dormitory, so I'm not afraid that you will default on your debt." Sun Hongwen joked.
"Let's go." He Tingjun walked to Ah Yunqiao.
"Hmm." Yun Qiao nodded and turned to look at Sun Hongwen: "Goodbye, Reporter Sun."
"goodbye."
On the way to send He Tingjun back to the ward, Yun Qiao asked him, "Are you feeling dizzy after running these two laps?"
"A little bit, but it's not a big problem," said He Tingjun.
Yun Qiao: "Then go back and have a good rest. Lie down for a while. Don't get out of bed for the next day."
"Okay." He Tingjun nodded obediently.
He asked, "Are you going to die?"
Yun Qiao hummed, "Originally, the military hospital was short-staffed, so they asked us, the foreign aid, to help. After the ceasefire, the number of wounded stopped, so it's natural for us, the foreign aid, to leave."
"When?" He Tingjun asked.
"I don't know." Yun Qiao shook his head and said, "Probably in the next few days."
"The photos can't be developed these days." He Tingjun said, "I'll send them to you when they're developed."
Yun Qiao: "Isn't it too much trouble? It's so cold, and I have to run back and forth."
"It's no trouble. I'm not afraid of the cold, so I'm willing to run." He Tingjun said frankly: "I want to see more of you."
Yun Qiao blushed a little, pursed his lips, and responded softly: "It's up to you."
"Okay, I'll come find you then." He Tingjun's plan succeeded, and he raised the corners of his lips with an unusually bright smile.
After that, Yun Qiao stayed in the military hospital for another two days. After completing all the work at hand, on the third day, he and the medical staff of the farm hospital were sent back to the farm hospital by two military trucks.
After returning to the farm hospital, the leaders of the farm hospital held a commendation meeting for them, awarded certificates to each medical staff member, and a thick pale blue cowhide-covered notebook as a reward.
Not only the regular employees of the farm hospital, but also Yun Qiao, Jiang Hua and other medical workers who were temporarily recruited to help had it.
It is said that the Health Bureau will also give each person a bonus of ten yuan, which will be distributed to everyone along with their salary.
After having their last sumptuous staff meal in the farm hospital cafeteria at noon, Yun Qiao and the others were about to leave.
Apart from the meal tickets that had been issued previously, they were asked to take all other personal items and white coats with them.
Ten days ago, Yun Qiao came to the field office for the exam empty-handed. Ten days later, Yun Qiao returned home with certificates of merit.
The Ninth Regiment where Jiang Hua was and the Third Regiment where Yun Qiao was were not in the same direction, and the two finally separated at the bus stop.
After a while, Jiang Hua and Yun Qiao developed a revolutionary friendship and were reluctant to part when they parted.
The bus to the Third Regiment arrived first. Yun Qiao got on and said goodbye to Jiang Hua through the window: "Jiang Qizhi, goodbye."
"Goodbye Ye Zhizhi, we will definitely meet again."
The bus slowly drove into the wilderness of the Great Northern Wilderness. At the end of March, the weather warmed up, the spring breeze blew across the earth, and patches of green sprouted on the earth.
This was the spring of 1969, Yun Qiao’s first day in the Great Northern Wilderness.
In this spring season, Yun Qiao returned to the 3rd Regiment of the 58th Farm and officially began her career as a medical worker.
