Yuhua Zhai is a collective name for several villages. After leaving the north exit of Yuhuazhai and crossing the footbridge, you will find the north campus of Xi'an Foreign Affairs College. Out of the south exit, past the new era of pedestrian street, to the east is the College of Foreign Affairs South Campus. The north and south campuses of the College of Foreign Affairs **** witnessed the prosperity and development of Yuhuazhai. Yuhuazhai is known as Xi'an's "small Hong Kong", every morning, on the way to work, the hurried and anxious pace, is the most real portrayal of our hearts at that time. The long and crowded queue in front of the 308 bus stop on the North Campus of the College of Foreign Affairs was daunting to me. Every day after work, get off from the Foreign Affairs College North Campus, you can see the dense mahjong tables, hear the crackling sound of mahjong, mahjong hall bosses continue to passers-by waving and shouting "three short of one, three short of one". On the roadside square, there are tireless square dancers, dancing to the once popular Phoenix Legend's "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond". At night, the streets and alleys of Yuhua Zhai are filled with neon lights and fireworks, and the streets are crowded with people and cars. In front of the family we rented, there is a two yuan store small supermarket, supermarkets, "pieces of two yuan" voice of the day and night never stop. The hustle, bustle and prosperity seems to be the theme song of Fuhua Zhai forever.
Due to the convenient transportation of Yuhua Zhai and its location in the suburbs of Hi-Tech, the rent is cheap and the cost of living is low, so my classmates and I naturally chose this place. Instead of us choosing Yuhua Zhai, Yuhua Zhai housed us.
In the days of Yuhua Zhai snail, Fang Qian lived in the street adjacent to us, and every once in a while, I would go to Fang Qian to turn around. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the way to the next level, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on the way to the next level. Xiao Qiang had just returned from Zhejiang and had been staying with us temporarily. At night, the three of us crowded in a bed, there are always endless topics of discussion, from work to life, from love to the future, there are lost, there is confusion, but never bored, sometimes only two or three hours of sleep at night, the next day still welcome the sunrise, go to work. Every weekend, Zhang Kun and Zhang Xin will also come to our place to gather, we meet together, either to go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to see the fountain, or to climb a mountain. In the face of the first into the society of the lost and confused, ten square meters of the hut has become a warmth between our classmates, each other's heart, seeking light gathering place. At that time, my favorite song was Ye Beiwen's "Walking to the Ends of the World". I remember that every time we went to eat at the "Affordable Szechuan Cuisine" restaurant at the north entrance of the village, the owner of the restaurant would always play this song "Walking to the Ends of the World" on a loop: Your footsteps are wandering at the ends of the earth, and my thoughts go with you to the faraway places.... ..... In retrospect, I don't know why I was so young when I fell in love with this sad and full of vicissitudes and nostalgia.
The days of living in a snail's nest in Yuhua Zhai, this is the base of our work and life. Xiao Qiang was introduced by our classmate Guo A, went to an electrical assembly plant on the Second Road to do a wiring job, the work is very tiring, very little money, according to Xiao Qiang said, every time he finished the work, his palms to hurt for a long time. Zhang Kun has just resigned from Yili Dairy in Lantian, said to be because during the work in Yili, often stay up late to work overtime, his palms on the inflammation of pus, the need for surgery, and then he simply resigned from Yili's work, back to Xi'an. After my introduction, I came to work in an electrical engineering company where I was at that time. Fang Qian in a high-tech company engaged in clerical work. Zhang Xin had just resigned from the United States of America in Foshan and returned to Xi'an. Soon afterward, he joined a company that made coal mine electromechanical equipment to do commissioning work. He traveled a lot and was seldom at home. I remember one time, I went with Han Ni to find Zhang Xin near the Zhuqiao Gate, that day he had just come back from a business trip, wearing white sneakers after scrubbing on his feet, shoes still residual traces of coal carbon, his face and arms also residual traces of coal can not be washed away.
We *** together in the fish Walled City snail days, there are a lot of classmates and close friends, but also had patronized our simple and small rental house. Whether it is returning from abroad to our temporary lodging, or come all the way here to meet with us, we are incredibly happy, we do not have a kitchen, we go to the outside of the small restaurant, eat a bowl of dry noodles or point two small dishes, to a few bottles of beer. After eating, we come back and hug a big watermelon, and in our small rented house, in the hot summer sun, we eat watermelon while talking and laughing. Among these patronizing crowds were our classmates, our alumni, my hairdresser and other friends. It is worth mentioning that my good friend Xin just harvested his first love. His first love was a little girl with a ponytail who rented next door to us. The girl was a computer science student, a native of Xunyi, who had just graduated from college that year and was interning at Gaoxin Jinye Road. Later, we will be his first love flirting with the "Yu Hua Zhai love".
After living there for nearly a year, my classmate Zhang Xin was the first to move away from Yuhua Zhai, and he moved to Hepingmen to share a flat with his cousin. Xiao Qiang went to the eastern suburb of Waiting for Driving Slope, and Zhang Kun and I moved out of the area in June 2012 to Shapo near Qinglong Temple. Xin Gang went to Beijing after leaving Yuhua Zhai. Then, Fang Qian and Wu Ting also moved away from Yuhua Zhai one after another. Since then, I seldom made special trips to Yuhua Village. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to see it.
However, for all of us who have lived in Yuhua Zhai, we all seem to have had similar dreams: dreaming of one day finding a good job and meeting the love we want; dreaming of one day moving into a good neighborhood with a big, well-lit room. I had a similar dream right there once, when I was exactly 22 years old.
In the winter of 2019, Yu Hua Zhai has been completely demolished by the government, once prosperous Yu Hua Zhai has now been razed to the ground, the subway line three has been repaired there, I passed Yu Hua Zhai some time ago, the demolition of the construction debris has not yet been cleaned up, but once the Yu Hua Zhai has been reduced to nothing ......
