For Dongguan, I have too much to say, and it seems that I don't have to deliberately say something. A glance is worth a thousand words.
Dongguan, I call it "second home". Yes, I have been living in Dongguan for 17 years! In Dongguan, I got married, gave birth to the first child, bought the first house; and gave birth to the second child, opened the first company led by their own name, bought the second house; in Dongguan, the first time to join an "organization", to meet a group of like-minded people in Dongguan, leaving me too many good memories! ......
This time I can go back, thanks to the two children, vacation, are parents around the children. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was so happy to see that I was able to get back to my family, and I was able to get back to my family. Xiao Ran also read for a long time, want to go back to Dongguan to see teachers and students. So, the itinerary immediately hit it off, Xinxin went to Hainan for a week, I took Xiaoran back home to visit his grandparents, and then back to Guangdong together. 7 July 7 from Hangzhou Airport, respectively, the 13th in the Baiyun Airport to meet, and then get the colleague to send the car, driving back to Dongguan. The following is a running account of the way to stay in memory:
Day1:July 13 (Saturday)
6:00 p.m. to Dongguan, on the road to discuss whether to go home first to see or go directly to the hotel, the unanimous opinion of everyone is tired, the first back to the hotel. After Dongguan Avenue, I did not go straight, but turned into the road in front of the house, intending to first familiar route into the eyes: my home, Green, Carrefour ...... In front of the house, again to confirm, want to enter the house to see? "Yes," the two kids said in unison. The security guard at the main entrance is not familiar with, but explained the situation to help us open the door, the first thing, go to the property service office to replace the two access cards, the staff carefully reminded me to use WeChat to register the door opening service. Home, home, this house in Dongguan is my daily drive from Zhangmutou uninterrupted round trip for half a year to complete the renovation, here poured too much of my emotions.
Once in the home, put down the luggage, open the air conditioning, my sister went straight to the piano, my sister to find their scooter began to ride. I hurriedly removed the cover cloth on the wooden sofa, everything was still the same as the last time I left, I deliberately kept. At the moment, it's as if I never left. I go up and down the stairs, make my rounds, rush the two kids, and leave with a sense of purpose.
That night stayed KD, I had already booked a room on Ctrip in advance. After returning to the hotel Xinxin felt tired and did not want to eat dinner, so I took Xiao Ran downstairs and went to Hyde Plaza to look for food. We went to the negative one floor, found a drink store, bought two hot drinks and takoyaki, and went to a sushi store next door to pack sushi and salmon sashimi, bring back to the room to eat. When I went back, my sister was already washed up and ready to go to bed, and still said she didn't want to eat. So my sister and I ate briefly and most of it went to waste. When both kids went to bed, I read a book, had a lot on my mind, and stayed up late again.
Day 2: July 14 (Sunday)
I slept in until I woke up naturally, and it was already past 8:00 a.m. The great thing about going out is that you can leave all the household chores behind.
When I woke up, I saw Chun Jiao's WeChat message, she left a gift for me at the hotel's concierge, and hurried to work. Full of heart full of moving, a moment speechless ......
I took my sister in the hotel to eat breakfast after driving home, my sister asked a classmate to meet at the China World Trade Center.
The day was booked well in advance. Today to meet with Cindy's family and my cousin and brother-in-law. Cindy is my classmate and is like a brother.
My husband arrived in Shenzhen at noon and then took a cab from the airport straight to home. It was raining heavily at noon, so I drove my car and took my kids to the door to wait for my husband. By the time he arrived, the rain had stopped. Summer rainstorms are like that, they come and go quickly. The family went directly to the perfect dental hospital next to go to eat Chaoshan beef hot pot, when we used to be in Dongguan, we like to go.
After dinner, Xinxin also sent a message, she has been on the subway. I left a message: see you at Green South Gate. (She returned with her classmates, who live in Green). I'm not sure she didn't read the message, but she took the car directly back to the door. So we met at home for a cup of tea. Know Xinxin favorite Tieguanyin, husband to find. Xinxin said, it does not matter, any tea. We went to the neighborhood door of the Great Benefit Puerh Tea Shop, tried a fifteen years of ripe Pu, personally feel that it is considered a very good taste of tea, they bought a cake, and in the small supermarket to buy a box of water, to bring home.
Drinking tea to four o'clock, set off to Shilong. The car to the downstairs, Cindy and her husband, as well as brother-in-law has been in the neighborhood door to meet. We sat at Cindy's house, drank tea, ate fruits, and chatted. Auntie said that her health has been better in recent years than in previous years. Cindy didn't look too good, she said that the symptoms of menopause had arrived, but in fact, she is only one year older than me. We talked about each other's situation without any distance, and I encouraged her to study more, exercise more, and not to be trapped in the small space of life. Cindy said that she thought I had been relaxing and enjoying myself, not realizing that I had been so busy in the past six months that I had skipped lunch many a noon. Yes, we usually almost do not contact each other, but meet without any inhibitions, all topics can be talked about. I have two such classmates, and one is Qinglan, in Yichang. I also have very good friends, do not see each other, there is no WeChat, the same tacit understanding. I'm not sure if my friends are all so strange.
Cousin after work, we went to dinner, dinner arrangements in a high-end atmosphere of the restaurant rooms. Cantonese roast pigeon in the afternoon or Xinxin mouth of the thought, the evening became a favorite delicacy, let her eat a full meal. Xiao Ran also ate three of the meal packages without making me bother more. By the way, my husband's Liang's classmate also came over from Guangzhou, and came back with us to the Welcome Hotel in the evening. It was a family dinner, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. We agreed that if our family's schedule permitted, we would find a night to get together in the city for another meal. (We didn't have time to make it happen. When I was leaving to say goodbye, Cindy said she thought we could get together again this time. ......
After the meal, I drove and stayed at the Dongguan Welcome Hotel, where I stayed for three days.
Day3:July 15 (Monday)
The night before, I agreed to get up early to go to the Botanical Gardens. I didn't set an alarm clock and slept through my dream a couple of times, but I was able to wake up naturally at 5:00am, wash up briefly, and walk to the Botanical Gardens at 6:00am on the dot.
There are a lot of people practicing in the morning, men and women, young and old, in groups of three or five. I started from where I live, traveled left and then turned right, uphill to the Meteorological Bureau, and then continue to the right, to the Rare Botanical Gardens. Too early, in addition to the main road, the gates of the parks are not open, the original idea of going up to walk on the idea can not be realized, they wandered a small Xu, look back, turn away.
Along the children's garden, walked to the trestle bridge, and from the gate around the mooring boat place. Everything is the same as before, as if I have been here day after day for morning exercise, and never left the general. I compare the Botanical Gardens to my backyard, the idleness of playing, the glimpses of passing by... Outdoor reading, kite flying, flower watching, bird watching, fish watching, trekking... It seems that this place has condensed all my memories of Dongguan over the years, which is why I purposely changed my accommodation to come back and reminisce alone.
I remember Dongguan left me touched, I understand this city in my heart has an irreplaceable position. I'm not sure if you're a good person, but I'm a good person, and I'm not a good person, and I'm not a good person, and I'm not a good person, and I'm not a good person!
I always feel that I am too sentimental, a person's life will have traveled through a lot of cities, just Dongguan is Dongguan, irreplaceable; a person's life will meet countless people, just, I'm afraid that I will never be so capricious again.
Breakfast is solved in the hotel, after the meal husband and classmates went to Donghua Hospital, he wanted to deal with the black spots on the face. I sent Xinxin to Carrefour to meet with her classmates. By the way, parking, in front of Caiyi wandering a bit, to go to the Yalun piano want to ask can have to move the piano master, I want to transport the piano to Hangzhou, to no avail. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
When I got home, a friend from Zhongshan rushed over to see me. I was going to refuse, but true love, never can refuse. Long time not here, want to get together dinner found that the neighborhood clubhouse has been closed, do not know where to go to eat. I asked a friend in the neighborhood, and she recommended that I try "Ocean Guan" and booked me a private room for lunch. My friend had a family of three, so I took them to the restaurant first, and after ordering the food, my husband and Liang's classmates also came over. Xiao Ran and Miss Sister play very happy (Miss Sister first year, may not really like to play with her first grade sister, but she still takes care of her sister, every time we meet, it is really a very educated child, aggravate the little girl).
After the meal, we met at home for tea, and my friend brought a lot of fruit, which came in handy. We were together in the kitchen washing, cutting fruit, chatting. It turns out that this year she had a hard time, too many emotions have been lingering in her heart after her father's unanticipated death, coupled with a variety of family trivialities, often late at night hard to sleep. "Eloquent Sister, so many times I've wanted to talk to you, but I know you're busy. This time you came back, I must rush over to meet ......"
"I originally thought that the child junior high school accommodation, your time is free, you should live a free life, do not want to..." , I left half a sentence unfinished. The adult world, never easy two words. There is an old man and a young man, all kinds of worries, all kinds of trouble, the only way to enjoy yourself, the only way to have fun in the midst of bitterness. I encourage her to stick to fitness, live at her own pace, be less of a living thunderbolt, and not be a garbage can for other people's emotions.
Drinking tea, chatting, until dinner before we reluctantly said goodbye. The next stop for them is Shenzhen and Yunnan. Our next stop, Shunfeng Villa, dinner.
The dinner object, called me "sister". In fact, she and her family are our precious people, not to say more. I tutored homework, and went to the door of the fashion store to buy a few dresses and a pair of shoes, back to Dongguan, naturally, to patronize the store of acquaintances, and the texture and style of the clothes have to be my favorite. Being husband phone call back, drive to dinner. When we arrived, Jing and his family were already there, five children and two adults, plus my two children, a veritable doll feast.
The first thing you need to do is to get the dolls happy, and the evening's dishes are what your husband ordered, which is very appropriate, and the size is very happy. In fact, Jing himself currently only two children, a child ready to enroll in elementary school, daughter kindergarten. The other three children are her brother and brother's family. Before going to dinner, Jing sent me an ultrasound checklist, pregnant again. I have to say, I was impressed with this 87-year-old Hunan girl. She brings up two kids on her own and takes care of her nephews from time to time, her life may be hectic but manageable, and her husband travels abroad a lot.
It really takes a lot of courage to have another child. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that. I've always thought that if I were to change my mind, I might not be able to compete with the best of the best. The family is very nice, and Jing even sent two pendant necklaces to my children. The only thing I can do is to give my deepest blessings!
Day4:July 16th (Tuesday)
Tuesday, belongs to Xiaoran, I have already made an appointment with her kindergarten teachers and aunts to have dinner together. These three teachers have taught her for two years and have feelings for her.
At the same time, I also made an appointment with the housekeeper to help the housekeeping service. After breakfast, the family went home, my husband and children drink tea, I began to organize upstairs and downstairs. After organizing first, it is easier for the housekeeper to come and clean. I left in a hurry two years ago, and there are so many valuable things left in the house, such as Xinxin's set of foreign currency samples and Zodiac gold coin collection, such as my Dior sunglasses and digital camera, etc. Take this opportunity to put them away and take them with you. I took this opportunity to collect them and take them away. I also sorted out a lot of books, clothes and toys and threw them away. I've sorted out Xinxin's awards and student certificates, Xiao Ran's kindergarten growth booklet, and family photos, all of which I've put away separately.
The renovation of this house took a lot of effort and money, and after I left, several acquaintances were interested in buying it, but I said that I would not consider renting it for sale for the time being. The other side is still interested, said: "If you are interested in selling, please inform the first time," and laughed that there is a suspicion of peeping at other people's favorite things. Yes, this house has too many memories to keep. Ran said she would live here when she gets married, and laughed her ass off. The afternoon cleaning, two people, five hours is not yet completed, the remaining living room and dining room floor is not mopped, I rushed to dinner, leaving myself to complete (results, until the departure, after all, they did not mop)
Dinner husband and friends about, I took two children to meet the teacher, continue in the "Ocean Guan". I have a bad habit of going to the same restaurant, sitting in the same place, ordering the same food. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new one, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new one, so I'm sure you're going to be able to get one.
The two unmarried teachers are in their prime, and their aunts are in good spirits. The classmate's mother just gave birth to a second child only a full month, leaving the baby to the family, their own with Xiaoran's classmates Anan to meet, the sincerity of the full. The teacher was curious, these two children usually do not interact much in school, they are also a year later transferred to the school, why we parents have such a deep affection for each other? An An's mom said that she had just transferred to the school and was not familiar with anything, and sometimes she asked questions in the group, and I always answered them patiently, so I had a very good and deep impression. Later I also wondered why the bond was renewed. In addition to the two children together with the dance class, I moved away from the remaining courses will be free to her, the biggest reason I found after dinner: it turned out that she had been "piggy Banner" brand children's clothing market developers in Dongguan, is now a partner, their own agent of a first-tier brand of underwear stores. Yes, she is a strong woman, and mistakenly thought I was her kind of people, haha.
Dinner, the woman meets the topic more, a chat to ten o'clock. The first thing I want to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on this. The biggest impression of this meal is that we all look better, both adults and children. Anan's mom even gave several sets of Piggy Banana's beautiful clothes to Xiao Ran. Thank you.
Day5:July 17 (Wednesday)
After breakfast, the family went to the Butterfly Valley in Shuilian Mountain, which is the place that Xiaoran has been longing for these two years. The first thing I did was to ask the doctor to take me to the hospital, where I was told that I would have to go to the hospital to have a drink with him.
Southern summer, early in the morning will be sunny, in the parking lot to find a shade under the parked car. Although I bought a hat still does not work, we are in a scenic tour bus into the Butterfly Valley. Butterflies, snakes and insects, feed parrots, peacocks and pigeons, I was also pulled into the water to accompany the catching fish, but unfortunately, the fish that day is too smart, a net did not catch. Beauty teacher phone call again to say about the wind mountain village, I asked two children and husband, they want to go to He Liushan, not with me. So, told the beauty, about the "hot spot". She is really careful, bought a variety of handmade exquisite milk tea, pudding, etc., meet first to my children.
At the hotspot restaurant, we ate and chatted until nearly two o'clock, when she drove me to my doorstep. After a year of not seeing me, she became much more polite, got out of the driver's seat of the Tesla, walked in the hot sun to see me off, took my hand again, and said something polite. This detail, in that moment, always made me feel a little distance from each other in an invisible way. Perhaps, I do not belong to the person who is thoughtful in everything.
I didn't go home, I walked a little way, and went to the tea store, bought two cakes of the same type of Daiyi Puerh tea that I bought the day before, and then walked to the SF store, sent express delivery to a big brother.
Going home to tutor homework, tutoring homework is the main work of my vacation. During the rush to take a shower, change clothes, light makeup. Xinxin said the foundation is slightly white, need to be a shade darker to be good, I returned: "your father buy skincare products when the store's giveaway, I just temporarily use it". After the family drove to KD and checked in, my husband was in charge of the kids, and that night they had a great meal at the KD hotel. Fu Yan sister has contacted me several times to determine the time and inform the location, to drive to meet, what a gentle and caring little sister next door! I decided to walk to the sisters about the restaurant, but a few minutes away. The carousel back to Dongguan, this kicked off, a hair out of control.
This post will not go into these details. I will not forget Chen teacher tears of affection; I can not afford to Li sister "if I do not know you, empty life, in you I saw the young myself" love; I was surprised at the spring jiao, beautiful and beautiful excited tears of the scene ...... really, too much! Deep love, let me y infected, y moved, as if the heart has been baptized again. Despite the lack of some details of the description and elaboration, I know that there is such a group of sisters love me y, hanging on to me, how fortunate, y grateful!
After the event, Ms. Li drove me back to KD, dressed in a beautiful red color, which she said was the first time she had ever worn a new dress; Ms. Chen specially went to buy a new skirt of more than 4,000 yuan, which she only put on at noon; in fact, Lingyi also specially picked out a new dress and new shoes, and put them on before she left. For the sake of this gathering, we put all our joy and expectation into every detail. Hotel entrance, I get off, standing on the side of the road, watching Li adjust the phone navigation, driving away, I waved silently in the direction of her walking away.
Together, this group of people can be silent or talk freely. I know I'm not easy to get along with, and it's really hard for people to get inside of me, but once they do, I don't let people go easily. I know that after this I probably won't have such an encounter to meet a group of sincere friends. I love you, not just the way you look, but also the way I look when I am with you. In Dongguan, I saw myself with a light in my eyes and a glowing forehead ......
Day6:7-18 (Thursday)
The stops are becoming more and more limited as they begin to count down the hours. Today's dinner is reserved for Yamin's family.
Yamin is a doctor at DH Hospital and the sister of her husband's hometown and classmate. When I met her, she was unmarried, and now her child is about to graduate from elementary school. She is also a valuable person to me, family and friends, all have difficult cases, will trouble her. And Yamin about the time is dinner, the two coincidentally think of the same place: Ocean Guan.
Today's breakfast, the family wanted to go to find a place to go to taste the real Guan-style morning tea. Called the hotel front desk phone, recommended the neighborhood first international "rice incense restaurant". Husband went out, the car must follow. Parked the car, on the fourth floor, rice restaurant to wait in line, heard a noise in the hall, we beat a retreat. Changed to the side of a quiet environment of the restaurant, the same morning tea. Congee, a variety of different flavors of intestinal noodles, black pepper steak, phoenix claws, ribs, dim sum, vegetable heart ...... I ordered everything I could think of. The family ate very happy, straight exclaimed "food in Guangdong, this is not false".
Not yet finished eating, Xiaoran student's mother LY sent a message, she has been to the "you are vegetarian", waiting for me at table 3. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the right one, but I'm sure you're going to be able to find the right one, and I'm sure you're going to be able to find the right one. Two years ago, when I left, she also invited me to eat a meal, then she called me "elixir sister", working in the Procuratorate, now the unit to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. So, I rushed back, Xinxin back to the hotel to rest, my husband accompanied Xiaoran to the playground, and then went to see the movie "Cram School".
At first glance, I saw Miss LY waiting in the corner, two years no see, the corners of the eyes have fine lines, the smile also has some female cadres of the dry. From their respective children to talk about the current education, worthy of being a graduate of CUHK science students, logical and clear, organized, so that I gained a lot. By the way, this time we met, she called me "Sister Li", between the title, we both look more calm (and old), haha. So, chatting until two o'clock, LY sent me to the hotel door, said goodbye, and met in Hangzhou. I went back to the hotel, lying on the sofa in the room to rest his eyes, do not feel asleep. In a daze, I received a phone call from Xinxin's junior high school classmate's mother, Ah Xiang. She said she saw me back and wanted to see me with another classmate's mom, Feng. Thinking about the true feelings of hard to resist, they told the location, five o'clock before the empty, only an hour or so. The two confirmed immediately after the departure, not long to inform the hotel lobby and so on me.
Three people in Hyde Square to find a drink store, each point a cup of tea, immediately start the conversation, straight to the point. I was touched that I could hear both of them talk freely about the plight of their own families, somehow so inexplicably trust. Although they are both members of the family committee, it is actually rare to meet them, and I have heard about their situation, but I don't know much about it. When I heard about Feng's progress and improvement over the past two years, I was heartily happy for her. When I heard about Ah Heung's numbness and stoicism towards life, it was very hard for me to encourage her to think long term and fight for her own initiative step by step. It is rare to find sincerity, I am grateful and y bless you!
Then came the family rush to dinner. Yamin and his family arrived shortly after we sat down. After not seeing them for two years, Yamin looked a little more haggard. "It's so hard to bring up a child, you've pined away quite a bit, take care of yourself", my husband said when he saw me say that, laughing that I couldn't speak. I said that I knew Yamin better than he did, and that I was my own person, so I could speak freely. Talking about their work and life, encouraging each other to keep moving forward. After the meal, waved goodbye, back to KD to live not table.
Day 7:19 (Friday)
I've booked a ticket to Hangzhou on the 20th, and it's time to go to Zhongshan, where I plan to go to Shenzhen airport.
Woke up early, packed their bags, checked out of the hotel, the family drove to a place near the home to eat breakfast, Xinxin said that the roadside store intestinal noodles are more delicious. After the meal, go home, put away the luggage, drive out of the garage.
The car sped in the familiar Dongguan Avenue, I said silently in my heart: see you later. Suddenly there was a downpour, forcing our car to stop in front of Kanghua Hospital. Xiao Ran put his face on the car window glass, looking at the pouring rain outside, said to himself: this is Dongguan to retain us it, Dongguan, I will come back to ......
A few moments, the rain turned small, the husband drove on the highway, Dongguan, we go!
Afterword:
Some people I want to see, did not meet; they have rejected some invitations. See follow the edge to have love to go sisters are getting better and better, but also some in the difficult moments of life brave brave warriors ......
Even in the pouring rain, you have to believe that there is a clear sky above the clouds! The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need. It's a colorful life full of uncertainty.
My Dongguan, I never left, I am always with you!
