I have so much to say about Dongguan that I don't seem to have to say anything deliberately. A glance is worth a thousand words.
Dongguan, I call it "the second hometown". Yes, I have lived in Dongguan for seventeen years! In Dongguan, I got married, gave birth to my first child and bought my first house. She gave birth to a second child, opened the first company headed by her own name and bought a second house. In Dongguan, I joined an organization for the first time and met a group of like-minded people. I left too many wonderful memories in Dongguan. ...
I can go back this time, thanks to my two children. During holidays, parents are always around their children. Xinxin went to Hainan to teach for a week, saying that Hainan is close to Guangdong and wants to go back to Dongguan. Xiao Ran has been chanting for a long time, wanting to go back to Dongguan to see his teachers and classmates. So, the trip immediately hit it off. During Xinxin's week in Hainan, I took Xiao Ran back to my hometown to visit my grandparents, and then went back to Guangdong together. Depart from Hangzhou Airport on July 7th, 13 meet at Baiyun Airport, then get the car sent by my colleague and drive back to Dongguan. The following memories are kept in the form of daily accounts:
Day 1 day: July 13 (Saturday)
After arriving in Dongguan at six o'clock in the evening, we discussed whether to go home first or go directly to the hotel. Everyone agrees that if we are tired, we should go back to the hotel first. After crossing Dongguan Avenue, I didn't go straight, but turned into the road in front of my house. I'm going to take the familiar route first: my home, Green, Carrefour ..... is in front of my home, and just to confirm, do you want to go into the house first? "Yes," the two children said in unison. The security guard at the door was unfamiliar, but he helped us open the door. The first thing, I went to the property service office to reissue two access cards. The staff carefully reminded me to register with WeChat to open the door. Go home, go home. This house in Dongguan is decorated by driving from Zhangmutou every day for half a year. I have devoted too much emotion.
As soon as I entered the house, I put down my luggage and turned on the air conditioner. My sister went straight to the piano. My sister found her scooter and started riding. I quickly opened the lid of the wooden sofa, and everything was the same as when I left last time. I kept it on purpose. At the moment, it seems that I have never left. Go upstairs and downstairs, make a tour, and urge the two children to leave.
I lived in KD that night and booked a room on Ctrip in advance. After returning to the hotel, Xinxin felt very tired and didn't want to have dinner, so I took Xiao Ran downstairs and went to Hyde Square to find something to eat. We went to the first floor, found a drink shop, bought two cups of hot drinks and octopus roast, packed sushi and salmon sashimi in a sushi restaurant next door and took them back to our room to eat. When I went back, my sister had finished washing and was ready for bed, but she still said she wouldn't eat. So I had a simple meal with my sister, most of which was wasted. Two children slept, and I read a book, and I was in a big mood and stayed up late.
Day 2: July 14 (Sunday)
It's past eight when I wake up naturally. The biggest advantage of going out is that you can get rid of all housework.
I woke up and saw Chunjiao's WeChat. She left me a present in the concierge of the hotel and then hurried to work. Deeply moved, I was speechless for a moment. ......
After breakfast in the hotel, I drove home with my sister, and my sister and classmates made an appointment to meet in Guo Mao.
The itinerary for this day has been booked in advance. I'm going to see Chen Jia and my cousin and brother-in-law today. Chen is my classmate, and we are like brothers.
My husband arrived in Shenzhen at noon, then took a taxi from the airport and went straight home. It rained heavily at noon, so I drove my children to the door to wait for my husband. By the time he arrived, the rain had stopped, as is the case with heavy rain in summer. It comes and goes quickly. The family went directly to Perfect Stomatological Hospital and ate Chaoshan beef hotpot which we liked when we were in Dongguan.
After dinner, Xinxin also sent a message that she took the subway. My message: See you at the green south gate. She goes back with her classmates. They live in Green. Unexpectedly, she didn't read the information and went home directly by car. So, we met to go home and have a cup of tea. Knowing that Xinxin loves Tieguanyin, her husband wants to find it. Xinxin said, it doesn't matter, any tea will do. We went to Dayi Pu 'er tea shop in front of the community and tried a ripe pu for fifteen years. Personally, I thought it was good tea, so I bought a cake and a box of water in a small supermarket to take home.
Drink tea until four o'clock and set off for Shilong. The car is parked downstairs, and Chen and her husband and brother-in-law are already waiting at the gate of the community. Sitting in Jackie Chan's home, drinking tea, eating fruit and chatting. Aunt said that in recent years, her health is better than in previous years, and her complexion is not good. She said that she had symptoms for many years, but in fact she was only one year older than me. We talked about each other at no distance. I encourage her to study more and exercise more, and not to be trapped in the narrow space of life. Chan said that she thought I had been eating happily, but she didn't know that I had been busy with lunch many times in the past six months and saved lunch time. Yes, we hardly get in touch at ordinary times, but we have no bad feelings when we meet, and we can talk about any topic. I have two such classmates, one is Qinglan, who lives in Yichang. I still have very good friends No meeting, no WeChat. Same tacit understanding. Are all my friends so strange?
After my cousin got off work, we went to eat, and dinner was arranged in the room of an upscale restaurant. In the afternoon, roasted squab in Cantonese style is still a dream in Yan Yan's mouth, and it becomes her favorite delicacy at night, so that she can have a full meal. Xiaoran also ate three meals, which didn't bother me. By the way, my husband's classmate Liang is also from Guangzhou and will go back to the hotel with us in the evening. It was a family dinner, and both the host and the guests had a good time. Let's meet. If our family's itinerary permits, let's have another meal in the city one night. (Later, it was too late to cash. When I left to say goodbye, I said I thought we could get together again this time. ....................
After dinner, I drove to Dongguan Guest House, and then stayed in the guest house for three days.
Day 3: July 15 (Monday)
It was agreed the night before that I would get up early to visit the botanical garden. I didn't set an alarm clock. I overslept several times in my dream, but I woke up naturally at five o'clock, had a simple wash, and went to the botanical garden on time at six o'clock.
There are many citizens doing morning exercises, men, women and children, in groups of three or five. I start from my place, turn left, turn right, go uphill to the Meteorological Bureau, and then continue to turn right to the rare botanical garden. It was too early, except for the main road, all the doors of the park were not opened, so the idea of going up for a walk could not be realized, so I wandered around Jamlom, turned around and left.
Go along the children's garden, walk to the trestle, and bypass the parking place from the gate. Everything is the same as before, as if I do morning exercises here every day and never leave. I compared the Botanical Garden to my back garden. When I was playing, I glanced at it when I passed by ... reading outdoors, flying kites, enjoying flowers, watching birds, watching fish and hiking ... It seems that this place condensed all my memories of staying in Dongguan in recent years, so I deliberately changed my residence and wanted to come back and enjoy it alone.
I remember the impression left by Dongguan, and I understand that this city has an irreplaceable position in my heart. Ear, who is singing the familiar melody gently, Dongguan, Dongguan, my beloved Dongguan!
I always feel too sentimental. People will experience many cities in their life, but Dongguan is irreplaceable. I will meet countless people in my life, but I am afraid I will never be so capricious again.
Breakfast will be settled in the hotel. After dinner, my husband and classmates went to tung wah hospital. He wants to get rid of the black spots on his face. I sent Xinxin to Carrefour to meet my classmates. By the way, I stopped at the gate of Caiyi, went to Aaron's Musical Instrument Store and asked if there was a master who could lift the piano. I tried to transport the piano to Hangzhou, but it didn't work. Later, I bought a cone for Xiao Ran in KFC.
Going home, some friends from Zhongshan came to see me. I was going to refuse, but the truth is, I can never refuse. I haven't been here for a long time, but when I wanted to have dinner, I found that the clubhouse in the community was closed and I didn't know where to eat. I asked a friend nearby, and she recommended me to try "Ocean Pavilion" and booked me a private room for lunch. I have three friends. I took them to the restaurant first. After ordering good food, my husband and Liang also came. Xiao Ran and little sister had a good time (little sister didn't really like playing with her sister when she was in the first grade of primary school, but she still took care of her sister, so every time she met her. She is a very cultured child, and she wronged the little girl.
After dinner, I met at home for tea. My friend brought a lot of fruit, which just came in handy. We washed and cut fruits together in the kitchen and chatted. It turned out that she had a hard time for more than a year. After her father died unexpectedly, too many emotions have been lingering in my mind, and with all kinds of family chores, I often can't sleep at night. "YingJie, I want to talk to you many times, but I know you are very busy. When you come back this time, I will come to meet you ... "
"I thought the children were in junior high school, and your time was free. You should live happily and don't want to ..." I didn't finish half a sentence. In the world of adults, there is never an easy word. There are old people and young people in the world, all kinds of troubles and troubles, just for pleasure, just for pleasure in pain. I encourage her to keep fit, live at her own pace, be less of a living Lei Feng and not be a trash can for other people's emotions.
We chatted over tea and didn't say goodbye until dinner. Their next stops are Shenzhen and Yunnan. Our next stop, Shunfeng Villa, dinner.
The object of eating, call me "sister". In fact, she and her family are our dignitaries, so it is inconvenient to say more. After finishing my homework, I went to the fashion shop at the door and bought some skirts and a pair of shoes. Back in Dongguan, I naturally visited the shops of acquaintances and fell in love with the texture and style of clothes. I was called back by my husband and drove to eat. When we arrived, Jing and her family had arrived. Five children and two adults, plus two children from my family, were a veritable doll feast.
For the doll banquet, it is natural to win the goodwill of the dolls first. The food in the evening was ordered by my husband, which was very suitable and full of joy. In fact, Jing has only two children at present, one is preparing for primary school and the other is in her daughter's kindergarten. The other three children belong to her brother and younger brother. Before going to dinner, Jing sent me a B-ultrasound checklist, and I was pregnant again. I have to say that I am deeply impressed by this 87-year-old Hunan girl. She has two children of her own and often takes care of her nephew. Life may be hectic, but it can still be controlled. Her husband often travels abroad.
It really takes a lot of courage to have another child. Still, it's really not easy. Each has its own difficulties, let's not talk about it for the time being. I often think that if I change places, I may not be as capable as Jing. Their home is very good. Jing also sent two pendants and necklaces to my children. Only deep blessings!
Day 4: July 16 (Tuesday)
Tuesday belongs to Xiao Ran, and I have arranged for her kindergarten teacher and aunt to have dinner together in advance. These three teachers have taught her for two years and have feelings.
At the same time, I also made an appointment with the housekeeper's housekeeping service. After breakfast, the whole family went home, my husband and children had tea, and I began to clean up the upstairs and downstairs. Tidy up first, it will be more convenient for domestic workers to come and clean. I left in a hurry two years ago, leaving many valuable things at home, such as a set of foreign currency samples of Xinxin and a collection of gold coins of the zodiac, such as my Dior sunglasses and digital camera, and so on. Take this opportunity to collect and take away. I also sorted out a lot of books, clothes and toys and threw them away. Xinxin's certificate and student ID card, Xiao Ran's kindergarten growth handbook and family photos have all been sorted out and distributed well.
The renovation of this house took a lot of thought and money. After I left, several acquaintances were interested in buying it, and I said I wouldn't consider renting it for sale for the time being. The other party was also very interested, saying, "If you are interested in selling, please tell me as soon as possible", and also laughed, suspected of peeking at other people's beloved things. Yes, this house has too many memories to keep. Xiao Ran said that she would live here after she got married, and she died laughing. Cleaning in the afternoon, two people, five hours have not finished cleaning, and the floors of the living room and dining room have not been mopped. I hurried to eat and kept it for myself (only to drag myself after I left)
At dinner, my husband made an appointment with a friend. I took my two children to see the teacher and continued in the "Ocean Pavilion". I have a bad habit for many years. I like to go to the same restaurant, sit in the same place and order the same food. A classmate's mother invited her to a party in Xiao Ran Kindergarten. She didn't have enough time, so she told her that she had an appointment with the teacher and the other party was interested in getting together.
Two unmarried teachers are in their prime, and menstruation are in high spirits. My classmate's mother has just given birth to a second child and is only full moon. She left her children with her family and brought her classmate An An to meet her. She is very sincere. The teacher is very curious. The two children didn't have much contact at school at ordinary times, and they transferred after one year. Why is there such affection between our parents? Ann Ma said that she had just transferred to another school and was unfamiliar with everything. Sometimes when I ask questions in a group, I always answer them patiently, which is very impressive. Later, I also wondered why I could start my relationship again. Except for the dance class that the two children signed up for together, I gave her all the remaining classes for free when I moved away. The biggest reason is that I didn't know until after dinner: she used to be the market pioneer of Dongguan "Little Pig Banna" brand children's wear, and now she is a partner and also represents a first-line brand underwear store. Yes, she is a strong woman and mistakenly thinks I am her own kind, haha.
When eating, there are many topics for women to meet, and it will arrive at ten o'clock. Come back and get together after meeting, and contact you when you get to Hangzhou. Ann's mother brought two teachers, and I sent the other teacher away. The biggest feeling of this meal is that we have all become beautiful, both adults and children. Ann's mother also sent some beautiful clothes to Xiao Ran. Thank you.
Day 5: July 17 (Wednesday)
After breakfast, the family made an appointment to go to the Butterfly Valley in Shuilian, which Xiao Ran has been wanting to go for two years. During the sunshine experiment, the beauty teacher invited her. She just flew back from Shanghai the night before, and contacted me for morning tea at Shenzhen airport at eleven o'clock in the evening. Considering that it was not easy for her to go on a business trip, I declined.
In the summer in the south, it was sunny early in the morning, so I found a shade in the parking lot and parked my car. Although buying a hat is still not enough, we still went to Butterfly Valley by taking the scenic spot sightseeing bus. I watched butterflies, all kinds of snakes and insects, fed parrots, peacocks and pigeons, and I was dragged into the water to catch fish. Unfortunately, I didn't catch any fish that day. The beauty teacher called again and said that she had an appointment with Shunfeng Mountain Villa. I asked my two children and my husband if they would go to Liu He by themselves instead of going with me. So, tell the beauty that this is about a "hot spot". It's very thoughtful of her to buy all kinds of exquisite handmade milk tea and pudding, and give them to my children first when they meet.
Eating and chatting in a hot restaurant until nearly two o'clock, she drove me to the door. I haven't seen her for a year, and she has become much more polite. She stepped down from the Tesla driver's seat, walked to see me off in the scorching sun, and held my hand and said some kind words. This detail, at that moment, always made me feel that we had a little sense of distance. Perhaps, I don't belong to a thoughtful person.
I didn't go home, walked for a while, then went to a tea shop, bought two pieces of Dayi Pu 'er tea that I bought and drank the day before yesterday, and then went to Shunfeng Store to deliver a courier to a big brother.
Going home to help with my homework is my main job during the holiday. In the meantime, I rushed to take a shower, change clothes and put on light makeup. Xinxin said that the liquid foundation should be whiter and darker. I replied, "When your father bought skin care products, I only used them temporarily." After the family drove to KD, the husband was responsible for taking care of the children. That night, they had a big meal at KD Hotel. Sister Yan Fu has contacted me many times to confirm the time, inform the place and drive to meet her. What a gentle and considerate little sister next door! I decided to walk to the restaurant arranged by my sisters, which is only a few minutes away. The carnival in Dongguan has started, and it is out of control.
These details are not repeated in this article. I will never forget Mr. Chen's tearful affection; I can't bear to part with Sister Li's love. "If I don't know you, I will live all my life. I see myself in you when I was young"; I was surprised at the scene where Chunjiao and Jingjing were so excited that they burst into tears ... Really, too much affection made me deeply infected and deeply moved, as if I had been baptized again. Although I lack some details, I know how lucky and grateful I am to have such a group of sisters who love me deeply and care about me!
After the activity, Sister Li drove me back to KD. Sister Li was wearing beautiful red that day. She said it was the first new dress on her upper body. Teacher Chen specially bought a new skirt of more than 4,000 yuan and put it on at noon. In fact, Clever also specially selected new clothes and shoes and put them on before leaving. For this party, we reflected our joy and expectation in every detail. At the gate of the hotel, I got off and stood on the side of the road, watching Sister Li adjust mobile navigation and drive away. I silently waved in the direction where she walked away.
This group of people can be silent or speak freely together. I know I'm not an easy person to get along with. It's really hard for others to enter my heart, but once I do, I won't let go easily. I know, I probably won't have such an opportunity to meet a group of sincere friends again. I love you not only for who you are, but also for who I am when I am with you. In Dongguan, I saw my eyes shine and my forehead shine. ......
Day 6: 7- 18 (Thursday)
When the countdown begins, it becomes more and more limited. Today's dinner is reserved for the Amin family.
Yamin is a doctor in DH Hospital and the sister of her husband's hometown classmates. When I met her, she was unmarried, and now the child is about to graduate from primary school. She is also my VIP, family and friend, and any incurable diseases will bother her. The date with Yaming was for dinner, and both of them thought of the same place: Ocean Bay.
Today's breakfast, the family wants to find a place to try the real morning tea. I called the front desk of the hotel and recommended the first international "Daoxiang Restaurant" nearby. The car will accompany the husband when he goes out. Parked the car and went to the fourth floor. Daoxiang restaurant had to wait in line. We backed out when we heard the noise in the hall. Change to a quiet restaurant next to you and have morning tea. Porridge, different flavors of rice rolls, black pepper steak, chicken feet, ribs, snacks, Chinese cabbage ... You name it. The family ate happily and sighed, "It's true to eat in Guangdong." .
Before I finished eating, Xiao Ran's mother LY sent a message that she had arrived at "You are a vegetarian" and was waiting for me at Table 3. She asked me to meet the day before, and I happened to be free at noon. I asked her if she could take a half-day off, and she readily agreed. When I left two years ago, she also invited me to dinner. At that time, she called me "Qiao Jie" and worked in the procuratorate. Now my unit belongs to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. So, I hurried back, Xinxin went back to the hotel to rest, my husband accompanied Xiao Ran to the playground, and then went to see the movie "cram school" together.
I saw Miss LY waiting in the corner at a glance. I haven't seen you for two years. I have fine lines in my eyes and some capable female cadres in my smile. From their children talking about the current education, I am worthy of being a science student who graduated from CUHK. My clear logic and Methodism have benefited me a lot. By the way, when I saw you this time, she called me "Sister Li". In the address room, we all seem calm (old again), haha. (The collision of related viewpoints is detailed in another space. )
Xinxin doesn't want to have lunch because it's almost twelve o'clock after breakfast. So, after chatting for more than two o'clock, LY sent me to the hotel door to say goodbye. See you in Hangzhou. I went back to the hotel, lay on the sofa in my room, closed my eyes and fell asleep. I got a phone call when I was confused. That's A Xiang, the mother of Xinxin's junior high school classmates. She said that when she saw me coming back, she wanted to visit me with another classmate's mother Feng. Thinking that the truth was hard to find, I told the place. It was empty before five o'clock, and there was only over an hour left. They set off as soon as they confirmed, and told me to wait for me in the hotel lobby soon.
The three men found a drink shop in Hyde Square, each ordered a cup of tea, and immediately started the topic and went straight to the point. I am very touched to hear them talk freely about their family's difficulties and I don't know how to trust them inexplicably. Although we are all family members, we seldom meet each other. I have heard of them, but I don't know much. I am sincerely happy for A Feng when I hear her progress and improvement in the past two years. I feel very sad when I hear A Xiang's numbness and forbearance in life. I encourage her to take a long-term view and strive for her own initiative step by step. It is rare to be sincere. I am very grateful and deeply bless you!
Then, the family hurried to eat. Yaming and his family arrived soon after we sat down. After two years' absence, Yaming looked haggard. "It is not easy to take care of children. You look haggard. Take care. " My husband laughed at me and said I couldn't speak. I said, I know Amin better than him. I am one of our own. Get to the point. Talk about their work and life and encourage each other to make continuous progress. Wave goodbye after dinner and go back to KD to stay.
Day 7: 19 (Friday)
I have booked a flight back to Hangzhou on the 20th. Time to go to Zhongshan. I plan to go to Shenzhen airport from Zhongshan.
Get up early, pack up and check out. The family drove for breakfast near their home. Xinxin said that rice rolls in the roadside shop is better. Go home after dinner, pack your bags and drive out of the garage.
The car sped on the familiar Dongguan Avenue, and I silently said: See you soon. Suddenly it rained heavily, forcing our car to stop at the gate of Kang Hua Hospital. Xiao Ran put his face on the window glass, looked at the pouring rain outside and said to himself, Dongguan is detaining us. Dongguan, I will come back. ......
In an instant, the rain turned smaller and my husband drove on the expressway. Dongguan, let's go!
Postscript:
Some people who want to see can't meet; I refused some invitations myself. It's getting better and better to see sisters who follow their destiny with love and some brave people who bravely move forward in difficult times of life. ......
Even in the rainstorm, we must firmly believe that there is a clear sky above the dark clouds! The trip to Dongguan was touched, regretted, hopeful and hopeful. Life is full of uncertainty and colorful.
My Dongguan, I have never left, I will always be with you!
