There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Don’t mention that the West Lake, which was formed by the white lady’s tears in the legend, attracts countless people; don’t mention that in the memory, “the people around me are like the moon, and the white wrists are covered with frost and snow.”

There is also the beautiful scenery of beauties that make people feel that it is not too old to return home, and one must be heartbroken to return home.

The Yuhang Liangzhu Culture, known as the Dawn of Civilization, alone can cast a mysterious and charming veil on this geomantic treasure of outstanding people.

At this time, Hangzhou was not contaminated by the hustle and bustle of modernization, and perfectly preserved the vicissitudes of history without losing its gentle atmosphere. This is a Jiangnan water town with an old picture but about to change.

The water of West Lake is sparkling and sunny. The childish voice is immature, swaying all over the Su Causeway. A group of children's team members who swim in the lake are in their innocent years, embellishing the beautiful scenery along the coast.

Tourists who come to Hangzhou to recuperate happily roam around the West Lake, on the Baidi, and under the weeping willows, pacing slowly, and the time is quiet at this moment.

Accompanied by the staff, Mrs. Cheng and her group strolled along the tidy lakeside road. Zhang Guoqing, who was a step away from the crowd, held the child with his head down and whispered to his wife Zhou Jiao beside him.

Spring Dawn on Su Causeway, Wind and Lotus in Quyuan, Autumn Moon in Pinghu Lake, Remnant Snow on Broken Bridge, Oriole Singing in Willow Waves, Watching Fish in Flower Harbor, Sunset at Leifeng Peak, Clouds on Twin Peaks, Evening Bell in Nanping, Moon Reflected in Three Pools.

The ten scenic spots of West Lake can be fully seen, followed by the Liuhe Pagoda, which has been guarding the Qiantang River for more than 800 years.

The West Lake where light makeup and heavy makeup is always suitable, the Wuyun Mountain Peak where the long embankment cuts through the whole lake, and the Lingyin Temple known as Yunlin Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient temple...

This is the paradise on earth - Hangzhou!

Louwailou with green hills outside the mountains, famous dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo braised meat, Longjing shrimp, beggar's chicken, Songsao fish soup, and West Lake water shield are mouth-watering.

All kinds of silk brocades with light and soft texture, gorgeous colors and rich luxury also attract the attention of tourists.

The color is light green, the fragrance is like orchid, and the taste is mellow and sweet. The tongue-shaped Longjing tea leaves a lingering fragrance, and the exquisite West Lake silk umbrellas, folding fans and other handicrafts of various materials make people linger.

Compared with returning to S City, this place is undoubtedly a paradise for gourmet shopping.

Crystal clear like Xizihu lotus root powder, sweet like lotus seeds, tender like dried bamboo shoots, small like walnuts...

There are countless local specialties, including well-known local pastries such as longxu crisps and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

When Zhou Jiao saw these snacks, she couldn't help but think of the various snacks that emerged in the 20th century, and suddenly felt a kind of intimacy that traveled through time and space—why hesitate? purchase!

Women seem to have an innate talent for shopping.

Not only did Lin Lishan and Cheng Ruzhu join the shopping process, but when it comes to food, clothing and entertainment, the judges along the way are even more precise. All the time, they will show everyone what is Hangzhou on the tip of the tongue, especially their mobility and sharp eyes make men willing to bow down.

Zhou Jiao even showed the posture of a hamster hoarding winter goods, as if she was throwing away all the money. Every time I go out, whether it is a man or a woman, all the accompanying people become a Christmas tree - full of bags and bamboo baskets.

The short three days passed in a hurry.

During this trip to Hangzhou, Zhou Jiao gained a lot. In addition to the large and small bags on the bright side, there is a lot of accumulation in the space. In addition to all kinds of silk and silk quilts, a lot of delicacies have also been added. Since Lin Lishan and Cheng Ruzhu can return home with full rewards, let alone Zhou Jiao who is determined to save supplies.

Since the beginning of the first month of this year, on the basis of the original food stamps, cloth tickets, meat tickets and other tickets, beef and mutton, fresh eggs, white brown sugar, pastry powder, etc. in the meat have all been included in the ranks of ticket purchases. Zhou Jiao is worried about the future.

In the coming year, the full implementation of the bill system followed, and now Zhou Jiao, who is anxious in her heart, can't wait to save a blade of grass.

In just three days, Zhou Jiao took Zhang Guoqing, and the couple took the time to drive the car, strolling around to the surrounding towns and villages to gather and buy.

Take photos one after another with Zhou Xiaozheng’s camera—the grandparents and grandchildren under the patio in the wall gate (big yard) of the rich family, the boys on the creaking wooden ladders of the two-story buildings along the street, playing in front of the thatched cottage of the farmhouse. Games for kids.

Along the way, they found that except for big cities, most families no longer distinguish between the north and the south, except for being poor or poor.

At this time, blue cloth clothes and gray cloth shoes are popular, so they are so simple; most people's clothes have to be recycled, not to mention patched, that is, clothes that adults can't wear are made smaller and worn by older children. I couldn't wear it, so I changed it to a younger child. The shirt was narrowed and used as a skirt for the child.

Dressing is still like this, but eating enough is even more difficult. Except for a small number of families with old roots, ordinary people have to cook with a few grains to barely drink thick soup, but those who are poor can only make up for it with wild vegetables. In addition, the housing can only be crowded with many people in a small courtyard that is not very spacious, dirty, miscellaneous, chaotic, and chaotic. Only the yard with more hostesses was cleaner.

What is rare and valuable is that these hardworking, honest and hospitable people have not lost their positive spirit in the poverty of life. With their faith, they are full of blood and passion for the future.

I thought again of the tourist attractions not far away, those tourists in formal attire, low-key but unable to conceal their affluence, and the old nobles in the capital walking birds.

In fact, history is already advancing along the track it should take.

The car went all the way in the direction of S City.

Zhou Jiao finally looked back at Hangcheng behind her. She clasped her hands together, bowed her head and prayed silently, that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from all walks of life in Lingyin Temple will be blessed, so that her father's life will be safe and the family will be happy.

Zhang Guoqing held the child free and patted her on the shoulder lightly. He suffered from the presence of outsiders, so he could only comfort his wife silently.

At three o'clock in the morning this morning, the couple rushed to Lingyin Temple to burn incense sticks and make a wish. Didn't the abbot tell the couple that everything will come true?

That ancient temple that can stand up to the great / catastrophe / disaster. It can flourish for thousands of years, and there are many believers.

In his heart, he firmly believes that God has the virtue of good life. If they do good deeds and be worthy of their conscience, they may be blessed as the master said.

Zhou Jiao turned her head and smiled at him.

Mrs. Cheng smiled and watched the young couple silently. She looked at Zhou Jiao, who was like a big sister, and silently prayed in her heart that her sister and brother-in-law would have spirits in the sky, and take good care of their children and grandchildren.

The trees in the Gu family's side house fell and the macaques scattered, some died, some were sent down, which made her believe that all karma would recur in the dark.

Now she *touched the wooden bead in her hand, and was even more happy for her nephew Zhou Xiaozheng. More than 40 years ago, her sister went to Lingyin Temple to pray for his safety. Forty years later, his daughter went to Lingyin Temple to pray for God and Buddha. Her nephew is no longer a wandering orphan, he has a child who is connected by blood and wholeheartedly for his sake.

Jiaojiao, did your dad say when he will go back to the old house?

Old lady Cheng asked softly. She only heard her nephew say that soon, soon. The wife said that there must be some unresolved enemies, so they will not return to the old house to pay homage.

She knew that the children didn't tell her because they were worried that they would be hit, so she just pretended not to know. No truth matters anymore. People are doing it, and the sky is watching, so she will see who the sky will spare.

Zhou Jiao paused, and said with a smile: Auntie wants to go back to Suzhou City? Why don't you go back and call my dad?

Forget it this time. We'll wait until your father finishes his work. Mrs. Cheng said, shaking her hand.

Zhou Jiao didn't say much. This time the Gu family's partial house was brought down, there must be many caring people watching the actions of their father and daughter. It is a matter of the safety of the whole family, and she has to wait for her father to make the final decision.
