Chapter 163: A Trip to Guangzhou
It's been more than ten o'clock when the four of them got home, and they are not in a hurry after eating, as soon as their parents enter the house, they start to clean up, the family has no one for a few days, it's a little dirty, Situ is afraid that his parents are tired, and he is really tired of shopping in Hong Kong today, so he persuaded his parents to do it tomorrow, and they will wash and sleep tonight, Xiaoya felt that what her sister said was very right, and also persuaded her to give up, and to take a shower, Mom and Situ slept in a room, and Dad and Xiaoya slept in a room. Perhaps because he was too tired, Situ felt that his head had just been next to the pillow, and he fell asleep, dreamless all night, and woke up on time at six o'clock in the morning.
Situ didn't rush to run today, but slowly cleaned up at home first, except for the two bedrooms, the rest of the place was plastered and mopped before going out for a run. When I came back, my parents got up, and Xiaoya was still asleep, because during the Spring Festival, there was basically no breakfast to buy outside, so Situ bought a pack of dumplings in the community supermarket, and was ready to eat dumplings later. Situ made dumplings and asked Xiaoya to get up, and after calling for a long time, Xiaoya was very reluctant to get up, he knew that his sister was the most opposed to sleeping lazy.
The family sat at the dining table for breakfast, and when he went to Hong Kong, Situ bought a few cans of imported milk powder and came back, opened one in the morning, and one person made a cup of milk, a bowl of dumplings, and two fried eggs. While eating breakfast, Situ discussed with his parents, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoya, you see that today is a day off, tomorrow we are driving to Zhuhai to play, or go to Guangzhou first?" ”
Xiaoya immediately said, "Let's go to Guangzhou first, I want to see the Whampoa Military Academy." ”
Dad listened and said, "Yes, you can go to Guangzhou first, you can go to Sun Yat-sen University first, and take a walk by the Pearl River, Xiaoqing, what do you say?" ”
Mom smiled, "It's okay, I'm going to go anyway, I don't know what authentic food there is in Guangzhou?" ”
Situ listened and was happy, "Mom, when you arrive in Guangzhou, you must eat authentic Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese cuisine is Cantonese cuisine, in a narrow sense, that is, Guangzhou cuisine, and now it also includes Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong and Macao." Cantonese cuisine in a broad sense includes Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, Dongjiang cuisine and so on. Therefore, when you arrive in Guangdong, you must eat Guangzhou food, and the Cantonese food we ate in Hong Kong two days ago is also very authentic, but the Cantonese cuisine in Guangzhou is still a little different, and it must be tried. ”
Xiaoya's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Oh, sister, I'm drooling what you said, the Cantonese food we ate in Hong Kong in those days was still quite exquisite, but it was too expensive, I saw that you paid for it a little painfully, and you only ate a meal." When you get to Guangzhou, it should be cheaper, and you can eat a few more meals. ”
Situ ate a dumpling and said, "That is, it must be cheaper than Hong Kong, and now the Hong Kong dollar is 1:12 to RMB, which is much more expensive." However, in general, Cantonese food will not be very cheap, and the more expensive restaurants that eat here are generally Cantonese restaurants. Really high-end Cantonese restaurants are not cheaper than Hong Kong, and of course we will definitely not go to such expensive places when we eat by ourselves. There are still a lot of Cantonese restaurants in the general public, it's okay, you can eat enough these days, and you can continue to eat in Zhuhai, we will eat Guangzhou cuisine first, and then go to eat Chaozhou cuisine. ”
Speaking of this, Situ took a sip of milk, "Actually, Teochew food is more expensive." And then there are Zhanjiang cuisine, Hakka cuisine, slightly cheaper, but, I don't think Chaozhou cuisine is delicious, Zhanjiang cuisine is okay, Hakka cuisine is not good. However, I don't like Hakka food very much, the oil is too heavy, and there is a lot of salt, so it is not very delicious. ”
Dad heard this and said to Situ, "Xiaowen, you know a lot about Cantonese cuisine, don't you eat a lot?" ”
Situ was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said to his father, "Dad, it's not that you don't know that I'm a foodie, and you must understand the food first." Besides, when I was doing sales in a real estate company, I ate out almost every day, at noon and at night. Because there is no cafeteria, everyone treats each other, and as a leader, I sometimes have to invite the people below to dinner. Most of the companies are like this, the main way to contact feelings is to eat, which is the same in China, everywhere. “
Dad listened, nodded, and felt very agree. In fact, this is Situ's favorite time, the family sits together, while eating, chatting, it is really warm. When I used to work from home, I didn't think that I knew that this was happiness when I was away.
The next day, Situ drove his family to Guangzhou, and there were not many people on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway. Situ is very glad that after he got his driver's license, he spent money to find a driver to take with him, and drove a night train for a month, mainly to take the high-speed section of Shenzhen and some main roads in the city to practice driving skills, otherwise he would definitely not be able to drive now, I remember the first night, I didn't dare to change lanes in Shennan, and I knew how I connected it.
Now Situ feels more and more that many times, don't be afraid of difficulties, have confidence, persevere, and when you really do it, things will always become more and more convenient. Xiao Ya yelled to drive, and the result of Situ's final discussion with him was that one person would drive for two hours, and when the time came, he would change people, but he had to drive first.
Xiaoya had no choice but to agree. It was seven o'clock in the morning, Situ estimated that it was almost ten o'clock in Guangzhou, just went to the Whampoa Military Academy first, brought his own car, it was much more convenient, and then went to Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in the afternoon, and went to the Pearl River in the evening. The hotel she booked is near the Pearl River, which is very convenient.
After all, the whole family was in the car, and Situ still didn't dare to take the fast lane on the highway, and he always walked in the middle lane, and the speed was not very fast, maintaining a speed of ninety to one hundred yards per hour. At this speed, at about ten o'clock, Situ got off the Whampoa exit and went straight to the old site of the Whampoa Military Academy.
The former site of the Huangpu Military Academy is located in Changzhou Island, Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, and was originally the school building of the Qing Dynasty Army Primary School and Navy School. Sitting in the north and facing the south, facing the Pearl River, there are more than a dozen buildings such as the main gate of the military school, the school headquarters, the monument to Premier Sun, the former residence of Sun Yat-sen, the club, the swimming pool, the tomb of the martyrs of the Eastern Expedition, the monument to the Northern Expedition, the Jishen Park, and the Jiaosi Pavilion. The style of the gate of the Whampoa Military Academy is very simple, and the words "Army Military Academy" on the horizontal plaque above the center are written by Tan Yanhong.
On the wall on the right side of the second gate, there is a school motto of "dear and sincere" written in ****** handwriting. There was a couplet on both sides of the color building at the gate of the military academy: "If you are promoted to become rich, please go elsewhere; If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter the gate", and the banner reads "Revolutionaries are coming".
After Sun Yat-sen's death, it was changed to "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard" in the prime minister's will. Xiaoya is very interested, he has always been very interested in the military. Walking out from here, many important figures in modern Chinese history, Situ is very infected with this pride, and his parents feel very dignified, and this place makes people can't help but have a sense of respect and the heart of Akagi to admire.
The family visited with great interest for more than an hour, and Szeto felt that it was even closer to his parents than when he was playing in Hong Kong. After all, my parents have taught books for many years, and I have the feeling of being a good teacher, and while walking, my parents expressed their opinions, or comments, or encouragement, in short, Situ listened seriously.
I used to think that my parents were very annoying to preach, but now I feel happy and enjoy my parents' nagging. Xiao Yajian or also came to listen, impatient, just look at himself, or argue with his parents, Situ is smiling and watching from the side, such a time Situ feels very warm.
After the visit, it was already a little more than a point, the four of them felt hungry, Situ came to pay attention to the place to eat, because the hotel near the tourist attractions if you don't know or better not to eat it, the four got on the car, walked in the direction of the Meiyuan community, and found Hongtai Restaurant, which is a restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine, the business is very good, this restaurant is very lively, Situ parked the car, and the family went to the restaurant. Fortunately, after the peak meal time, there was no need to wait for a seat, the counselor brought the four of them to a seat in the lobby, and Situ asked, "Do you have anything you particularly want to eat?" ”
Xiaoya listened and said, "I want to eat roast goose, I heard that the roast goose in Guangdong is delicious." ”
Situ turned to the waiter and said, "We order, who is responsible for ordering?" ”
The waiter replied, "Wait, I'll be right here, you can see the recipe first." What kind of tea do you drink? ”
Situ asked, "What's the tea?" ”
"Tieguanyin, Pu'er, chrysanthemum tea, fragrant tea and oolong tea, what do you drink?"
Situ looked at his parents and asked for their opinions, and his father said, "Let's drink oolong tea." ”
The waiter went down to make tea, and after a while, the person who ordered came up, and after Situ asked his parents and Xiaoya's opinions, he ordered a roast goose barbecued pork platter, white-cut chicken, steamed turbot fish, garlic scallops, steamed baby cabbage with garlic, and tea tree mushroom keel soup. Maybe the kitchen is not very busy at this point, and the food will be served soon, and the family is hungry, so they don't talk much, and they all bow their heads to eat. The dishes are still good, the taste is also very authentic, and the family eats with relish.
When the meal was almost finished, Xiaoya said to Situ, "Sister, I'll drive later." ”
Situ felt very happy when he saw Xiao Ya's anxious appearance, and he didn't embarrass him, nodded and said, "Okay, but don't drive too fast, we're not in a hurry, take your time, safety first." ”
Xiaoya listened and hurriedly said, "Okay, I know, sister, you're so long-winded." ”
When my mother heard this, she said to Xiaoya, "How did you talk to your sister?" You have to say it well, you can't do this in the future. ”
Xiaoya listened, stuck out her tongue at Situ, and Situ smiled at him. In fact, when they were at home, their parents did not allow Situ and Xiaoya to talk impatiently with their families, and in their philosophy, they always believed that when talking to their families, they must be gentle and pleasant, otherwise they will be criticized.
The two of them have been used to educating their parents since they were children, talking at home, rarely impatient, and their parents are basically very peaceful when they chat and talk at home, in short, because of such strict requirements of their parents, Situ's family has always been a very peaceful atmosphere. In the past, Situ didn't feel it when she was at home, but now she feels really good and warm after coming out, she often misses the scene of the family eating together at night, talking and laughing, or home, and the family is really happy.
The family sat in the restaurant and drank tea for a while, took a short rest, and then drove to the Pearl River, and in the afternoon they were going to go to Sun Yat-sen University, and then checked into the hotel. Xiaoya drove a little faster than Situ, but he still listened to Situ's words, drove very steadily, and was very careful. Because of the Chinese New Year, there are not many cars, which is not very worrying.
It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at Sun Yat-sen University, after parking the car, the family walked around the campus of Sun Yat-sen University, the time on campus is always nostalgic, even the visit can infect the clarity of youth, there are many college students on campus, this time is playing ball outside, strolling strolling, parents enjoy this atmosphere very much, Situ and Xiaoya are very fond of it.
Situ saw that everyone was almost shopping, and it was already past six o'clock, so Situ went to the hotel with his family. In Ctrip, the hotel is near the north gate of Sun Yat-sen University, several people drove the car directly to the hotel, checked in, parked the car, put the luggage, rested for a while, washed their faces in the hotel and prepared to go out for dinner. Find a Cantonese restaurant nearby and continue to eat Cantonese food, but all the dishes have been changed, and they are not the same as at noon.
After dinner, the whole family drove across the Haiyin Bridge to Dashatou Wharf, ready to take a boat here to cruise the Pearl River at night, along the way there will be Zhuhai Danxin, East Lake Chunxiao, Huangpu Yunqiao, Etan, etc. The river waves are rolling, the river breeze is sassy, the cruise ship starts from Dashatou Wharf and passes through the Guangzhou Bridge and Liede Bridge in turn, the colorful neon lights flicker, the unknown shade green bushes on the shore of the riverside avenue and the riverside avenue are refracted by the lights, and there are patches of faint green light, forming a beautiful scenery on the bank of the Pearl River, which makes people intoxicated in such a quiet night. It was almost ten o'clock from the river, the family was very happy, took the car and went back to the hotel, a little tired after a day of play, and wanted to rest early.
The next day, Situ planned to visit Baiyun Mountain all day, the scenery of Baiyun Mountain is beautiful, the peaks overlap, the streams are vertical and horizontal, and you can overlook the whole city and the Pearl River from afar. Situ thought about seeing how much place his parents had to decide how many places to play, so he went up the mountain from Yuntai Garden and bought a cable car ticket to the top park. After half an hour of turning around at the top of the mountain, I went down the mountain in the direction of Luhu Park. Because going down the mountain is relatively more energy-saving, while walking and playing, after playing Luhu Park, go directly to the upper and lower nine pedestrian streets, at this time there are a lot of people in the pedestrian street, the four of them have dinner in the pedestrian street, take a taxi to Yuntai Garden to get a car, and drive back to the hotel.
Mom and Dad were tired today, so Situ asked them to rest quickly, and decided to go out late tomorrow morning and sleep until eight o'clock to get up and check out.
After a good night's sleep, my parents are obviously much better, I only go to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall today, and then I will go to Shenzhen, the schedule is not very tight, so Situ is not in a hurry. After breakfast, I checked out of the room, and the family went straight to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is an octagonal building, with a solemn and magnificent appearance, with strong national characteristics. It was originally the presidential palace in 1921 when Sun Yat-sen was very president, and it was razed to the ground by artillery fire in 1922 when Chen Jiongming rebelled. In 1928, it was organized by Li Jishen, and the construction started in January 1929.
The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall chose the royal blue glazed tiles that Mr. Sun Yat-sen loved during his lifetime as the main color. Mom and Dad, Xiao Ya and Situ all came to visit and learn about the life of Dr. Sun Yat-sen with deep respect. On the front of the memorial hall, between the upper and lower eaves, Sun Yat-sen's handwritten "the world is for the public", implying that the country is shared by the people, the government is jointly managed by the people, and the national interests are shared by the people, which is particularly admirable. The family is looking at it with admiration, the world is for the public, how many people can do it? Mr. Nakayama must be one!
