Just after dawn, Jiang Hua got up.

He wanted to know the real situation of Xiquan Village Primary School and see how many children were studying there.

It's rainy in the mountains, and it's drizzling outside.

He didn't disturb anyone, took an umbrella and went out.

"Jiang Hua, you are not honest. You don't call me when you go out."

Bao Yuqian held an umbrella and ran after her.

She was dressed particularly refreshingly today, with long shawl hair tied back and loose sportswear. Apart from the camera hanging on her chest, she had no extra accessories.

"I'm afraid you didn't sleep well last night, and I want you to rest more."

Jiang Hua knew that she must not have had a good rest last night because there were so many mosquitoes in the mountains.

"It's okay. Although the conditions here are difficult, everything is quite new to me."

Bao Yuqian breathed the fresh air in the mountains. Everything here was completely different from the high-rise buildings and bustling traffic in Xiangjiang.

"I'm going to check on my children at school. It's raining and the roads are slippery. Be careful of falling."

Jiang Hua held an umbrella and talked as he walked.

I heard from Deputy Director Wang that the primary school in the village only has a few mud houses and no one wants to be a teacher. There is only one Teacher Zhao in the whole primary school. She graduated from the normal school last year and was assigned to her. Others tried their best to transfer her away, but only

She didn't leave.

Bao Yuqian fell behind, looked at Jiang Hua's back, raised an old-fashioned film camera, and took a photo of him.

To go to the village primary school, you have to pass through a small stream. Because it rained all night last night, the water in the stream is relatively strong.

More than a dozen children stood in a line by the stream. The older children were in their teens and the younger ones were only five or six years old.

"Students, please don't move. Line up and wait for the teacher to pick you up one by one."

A female teacher wearing a floral shirt and her trousers rolled up was carrying a child on her back and wading to the other side of the stream.

The stream was up to her knees, and the current was a bit fast. For some young children, it was more dangerous to go there by themselves.

"The creek is not wide. Even if the villagers don't have money to build a bridge, why can't they build a stone road?"

Bao Yuqian asked in complete incomprehension.

"Because of poverty, because of laziness!"

When Jiang Hua was talking, he had already walked over there, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, picked up a child on his back, and stepped into the stream.

"Thank you. You are not from the village. I don't think I have seen you before."

Teacher Zhao was carrying the child on her back, and her bangs were wet from the rain and stuck close to her forehead.

"Well, if you have more people helping you, it will go faster. It's raining, and some children don't have umbrellas. If they stand in the rain for a long time, they will catch a cold."

Jiang Hua was wading in the stream. The weather in autumn was relatively cool. He saw several children, who had neither raincoats nor umbrellas. They were wearing thin clothes and stood there quietly, like a few quails.

"When the stone road is paved in the future, it will gradually get better."

Teacher Zhao wiped the rain that had blinded his eyes with the back of his hand.

She is a very ordinary-looking woman, but she is very caring towards her children. She is willing to get wet in the rain, and she also tries her best to hold an umbrella over her children. It is obvious that the children like her very much.

Bao Yuqian stood on the shore. From her perspective, she could just see Teacher Zhao's side face covered with water drops. At this moment, she felt that this female teacher was very beautiful. She raised her camera to record this scene.

"Come, help sister keep it safe."

Then, she hung the camera around the neck of the tallest boy, handed him the umbrella, took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, picked up a short little girl on her back, and waded across the creek.

"Be careful, don't let the gravel sting your feet."

Jiang Hua did not expect that Bao Yuqian would also come to help.

"I'm not a child."

Bao Yuqian turned her face sideways and smiled refreshingly.

The tallest boy was playing with the camera curiously. He imitated Bao Yuqian's behavior just now and pressed the shutter button.

"Crack!"

The camera rang loudly and captured Bao Yuqian's refreshing smile.

After carrying all the children across the creek, Jiang Hua searched among the more than ten children and found that Zhang Lanxin was not there.

He was about to ask when he saw a figure holding an umbrella, limping and holding a little girl, walking across the creek.

"Teacher Zhao, I'm sorry, my legs and feet are not good, so I came a little late."

Zhang Laizi had bad eyesight and did not notice Jiang Hua standing behind the child.

He stood by the stream, rolled up his trouser legs, and seemed ready to carry his daughter across the stream.

Teacher Zhao looked at this scene with surprise on her face. Zhang Lanxin was her student. She had visited her home more than once. She knew very well what kind of character Zhang Laizi was.

In the past, a man who was unwilling to send his daughter to school took the initiative to send his daughter to school for the first time. The sun came out from the west?

Under Teacher Zhao's incomprehensible eyes, Zhang Laizi limped and carried his daughter across the stream.

When it was rainy, his legs hurt terribly, especially when he was soaked in the stream, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Zhang Lanxin hugged her father's neck tightly and pressed her cheek against the back of his neck. She liked her father very much. The cold home finally had a warm feeling.

"Qiangzi, quickly take a picture of Zhang Lanxin."

"Qiangzi, lend me this thing to play with."

A few naughty boys were sneaking around and forming a small circle.

"Don't move, you can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged."

The tall boy with the camera hanging around his neck had been shooting here and there and took some random photos. Now he is more skillful in handling the camera. He pointed the lens at Zhang Lanxin and his daughter and took a photo with a click.

Then, in the drizzly rain, the scene of a lame father carrying his daughter across the river to go to school was recorded.

The tall boy wanted to take a few more pictures, but found that this thing didn't work.

"It's over, Qiangzi, you damaged other people's things."

"It's gone, it's gone. It was damaged by the hadron. It's none of our business."

The few naughty guys who were together just now dispersed in a hurry.

Jiang Hua didn't notice the actions of the children. He walked up to Zhang Zizi whose trousers were soaked, patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Zhang Zizi is a man, and he finally lives like a human being."

"Mr. Jiang, you are here too."

Zhang Zizi behaved a little restrained in front of Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua looked down at Zhang Lanxin, smiled gently, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a cry.

"Wow...I didn't mean to..."

Min Qiang held the camera in both hands and cried heartbrokenly.

When he cried, everyone was frightened and they thought something had happened.

"Min Qiang, what's wrong? What happened?"

Teacher Zhao hurriedly counted the children, thinking that one of them had accidentally fallen into the creek.

"Teacher, Qiangzi broke the beautiful sister's camera."

A child who talks quickly complains to the teacher.

"That's why?"

Jiang Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was also shocked just now.

"Don't cry. Let my sister check it first. If it's really bad, I don't want you to pay for it."

Bao Yuqian almost forgot about the camera. For a wealthy lady like her, the camera was just a toy she brought with her.

After checking it, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The camera was not broken, but a roll of film had been ruined. Oh boy, how old is this?

Jiang Hua came over and after understanding the situation, he couldn't help but laugh. He said to Min Qiang, who was crying like a cat, "You like taking pictures so much, you can become a photographer in the future."
