It's been more than two years since I moved to this neighborhood.
At first I thought it was far away from the subway station, and it took about 15 minutes to walk. Now that I've been walking for more than two years, it doesn't feel far anymore. The power of habit is really scary.
From the neighborhood to the subway station, take the side door is the most convenient, so there are always three or five people riding in the side door on the motorcycle or motorcycle, waiting to carry those who do not want to walk these 15 minutes. Most of the people in these cars are women, and young women at that.
Now there are more ferry battery cars, morning and evening rush hour, or weekend days, you can always see the car more than a dozen seats are full, men and women, young and old.
These two "convenient" cars, I do not ride. I like to walk, even though it's only a 10-minute walk, it seems to burn off a lot of calories. And when I walk a lot, I'm as fast as a wind turbine, which my friends used to tease me about.
I don't like these "people's" cars either, they always like to run through the narrow lanes, and every time I see their speed and passion, I have to worry that something will happen.
So far, more than two years, but did not witness a pile of accidents, only to see a young man, while riding an electric bike, while looking at the phone, fell down, but also not a big problem, get up and go again.

Living in a neighborhood for a long time, it is easy to mix a familiar face. But it's strange that we may know what our neighbors on the same floor look like, but never talk to each other. When we went home, we shut the door with a bang and didn't talk to each other.
We may have a divide with our upstairs neighbors, but we are much more familiar with the shopkeepers downstairs. Often go to the two small vegetable store, see me always greet: "Hi, pretty girl ......" If I am wearing a sportswear to go, the big mom will say: "and sports, you this habit is really good. " One morning, a young female sales clerk even asked me for my Alipay account, "Do you plant trees? I'm going to steal your energy." It took me a few seconds to react before I realized she was talking about Alipay's Ant Forest.
The meat seller, even though I almost never buy meat from him, he always smiles and greets me when he sees me, "Hello, pretty girl!"
I often buy 5-liter bottles of Nongfushanquan at a small department store, and the couple who run the store know me and greet me with, "Have you eaten?"
Opened a small supermarket for half a year, the cashier inside surprisingly also know me. One morning, the small partner to go to the supermarket to buy ribs, buy a single time, the cashier little sister said: "Your wife every time you come to use the self-service machine." When my little friend relayed this to me, it startled me.
I quite like this small supermarket self-checkout machine, few people use, probably not used to it, so often do not have to queue. The manual checkout there, however, often have to wait in a long line. So, I often come and go as I please, and I don't even know that I'm being remembered.
In the summer, I always wear very sexy clothes when I run in the morning, and the color of Nike sports underwear is so bright that it attracts attention. So, the security guards, there are also recognize me. Whether I am running or not, as long as I see him, he always have to smile and say: "Hey, come on oh, I support you!"
The first time I saw him was when I was a kid. There is a little girl who is only three or four years old, see me sweaty in doing post-run stretching, especially curious squatting in front of me to ask: "Sister, what are you doing?"

The door to the downstairs used to be a password, and at the time, my buddies and I often complained that as long as we knew the password, just about anyone could come in. No wonder the door was often stuffed with all kinds of promotional posters, and one day even stuffed a few live in the hotel only to see the card, the card is a picture of a sexy woman, and very eye-catching contact information.
This year, the downstairs door canceled the password, and swiped the card instead. A year ago, I went to get two cards back, the size of a bank card, but several times thicker than a bank card, there are holes in the card, you can hang in the key chain. Miraculously, the day I canceled the password, I used this thick card, swiped and swiped, almost dozens of times, and still could not open the door. Even the courier standing at the door waiting to open the door could not help but look at me suspiciously.
I found a time to go to the management office to ask for the reason, and I didn't get an explanation, but I just got a card that was still the size of a bank card, which is much thinner and has no holes on it, so it can't be hung in the keychain, but it's very sensitive to open the door.
As a result, many people often forget to bring this card, and are forced to stop at the door. We complained again, why not make the card smaller, why not make a hole for the card? (Other people's home access cards are very small, plastic, blue round, there is a hole on the top, you can hang with the key.)
I think the management office is trying to do something good, but it seems to have done something unpopular.

In the summer, when the weather gets hot, there are a lot of fat cockroaches (commonly known as cockroaches) jumping up and down on the streets. There are also a lot of dead bodies in the street, flat stick to the ground, squeeze out the disgusting guts.
The smaller the restaurant's neighborhood, the greater the number of Little Johns. The smooth shells, glistening in the sunlight, are thrilling to behold.
Probably not only are they tough, but they are also very good at climbing stairs. 2 or 30 floors high, they are also everywhere in the room.
In the winter, there are fewer of them, and they are smaller and thinner, as if they are stunted. In summer, there are more of them than you can count, and all of them have round bellies and fat heads.
The most depressing thing is that they are all athletic, responsive, pulling their legs and running away from who can't compete, but also specialize in picking you to take it in the nooks and crannies of the drill. So, if you want to fight them with your bare hands, you're going to be discouraged and frustrated.
For a long time, I suffered from the interference of these critters, and I was very annoyed. I didn't want to, but then I was able to almost exterminate them with a potion. Now I can occasionally see one or two crawling over from the next house, and they are all groggy, as if they had just gotten drunk, and it's easy to take them down.
This is kind of a happy thing. However, it can destroy the small strong, but can not destroy the mosquito. Although it is not much, three or two only, but in the dead of night, as if three or two trumpets blowing in the ear, buzzing is enough to ruin my sleep.
They also often leave red marks on my face, hands and feet, as if they are afraid that I will forget their existence.

The greenery in the neighborhood is superb, with two rows of tall palms planted on either side of the road, and on sunny days I always have the illusion of being on vacation.
There is also a planting full of decades old trees in the square, even in the hottest summer, there is also a piece of shade, no wonder every day there are a lot of people in the square sports, playing cards, square dancing, nagging ...... that square has a very real name- -Forest Square.
What amazes me is that when I run in the morning, I often hear a babbling of birds in the bushes, and listen carefully, as if more than one species of bird survives where.
The stores in the neighborhood also cater to almost all daily needs. Cleaner than the market and good service than the vegetable store there are three or four, supermarkets and convenience stores there are several, hair and beauty massage store is even more scary, and repair faucets, repair electrical hardware store, sell breakfast, fast food small restaurant ...... a full range.
When the house contract expired, we had thought about a change of environment. Spent a month, the surrounding neighborhoods are shopping all over the place, or think now live in this neighborhood environment is the best, the convenience of life is also relatively perfect. So, it's just farting around and continuing to live ......
