My wife was very excited all the way, pointing to the scenery on the road and telling her childhood memories. Under her guidance, we came to a small town full of my wife's childhood memories to look for her alma mater, where there were markets she often visited with her elders, Hu spicy soup she liked to drink, and riverbanks where she often walked ... After all, it was 30 years ago, and the alma mater, market and winding riverbanks were still there. But I couldn't find the stall of Hu spicy soup in those days. We had breakfast in another hot soup shop. My wife said she didn't know if it was the smell of the year. In a trance, childhood has drifted away with vague memories and never came back.
After breakfast, we prepared some gifts and went to Wang Yue's wife's hometown to visit his parents. It was a short drive, and I soon saw the village in my hometown. Newly-built roads, markings, roadside trees and roadside ditches are clean and tidy, and even the roadside is marked with colorful bicycle lanes, so that people can't even see a leaf. There are many colorful paintings on the courtyard walls and telephone poles in the distance, reflecting green wheat fields and straight asphalt roads, giving people a thriving impression, without the feeling of traditional villages being broken and depressed in winter.
After entering the village, I found that the flower boxes, wall paintings, green belts and parking spaces on the roadside were orderly, and there was no trace of littering in the streets. The public toilets near the village were also spotless, revealing traces of planning and management.
Through the introduction of murals, I have a general understanding of this village. This is a big village, consisting of 6 natural villages, divided into 20 villagers' groups, with a total population of 3,880 and cultivated land area of 4,090 mu. My ancestors once had a Jinshi and three generals. Today, the village is still full of talents, and it is a land of Zhong Ling with a strong traditional cultural atmosphere.
Finally, I came to my wife's hometown, and my parents-in-law turned over the old house to support the elderly. In order to save some renovation costs, many things are done by parents-in-law, which have basically taken shape and have living conditions, but there are still many finishing work to be done. I hope the two old people will pay attention to protect themselves and not be too tired.
After spending some time with my parents-in-law, my wife and I simply wandered around the city. It was already afternoon. We went back to my sister's house to meet our parents, and three aunts and three sisters came to talk to them. After 4 o'clock, we started the way back.
Because my daughter was sleepy in the morning and didn't go to see her parents-in-law, we stopped by the village again. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon after she was addicted to a painter. The days are so short in winter that we dare not stay long. We said goodbye to our parents-in-law in a hurry and went on to Zhengzhou.
The traffic continued all the way, but we didn't dare to delay at all and finally got home at 7: 20 pm. Although the journey is a little tired, the two-day trip is still very enjoyable. We met many relatives and went to many long-lost places. This is a revisit to the old place. Some places have changed, some places have not changed, but things have changed.
People still have to live well.
