Chapter 319: A Trip to Hangzhou

"There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below."

Not to mention the legend that the White Lady turned into tears in the West Lake, which attracted countless people; Not to mention the memories of "the people on the edge are like the moon, and the wrists are frosty and snowy." ”

There is also a beautiful beauty that makes people sigh that "they are not old enough to return to their hometowns, and they must break their bowels when they return to their hometowns".

The Yuhang Liangzhu culture, known as the "dawn of civilization" alone, can cast a mysterious and charming veil on this piece of feng shui treasure land with outstanding people.

At this time, Hangzhou has not yet been contaminated with the hustle and bustle of modernization, and perfectly preserves the vicissitudes of history without losing its gentle atmosphere. This is an old picture, but it is about to transform into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The water of West Lake is bright and sunny. The child's voice is immature, swinging all over the Su Causeway. A group of children and teenagers swimming in the lake are in their innocent years, and they are dotted with beautiful scenery along the coast.

Tourists who come to Hangzhou to recuperate, happily roam on the West Lake, on the white embankment, under the weeping willows, slowly pacing, at this moment the years are quiet.

Mrs. Cheng and her entourage walked along the neat lakeside road accompanied by the staff, and Zhang Guoqing, who was one step behind the crowd, held the child and lowered his head and whispered to his wife Zhou Jiao beside him.

Spring dawn at Su Causeway, wind and lotus in Quyuan, autumn moon on Pinghu Lake, remnant snow on broken bridges, orioles in willow waves, fish viewing in Flower Port, sunset on Leifeng, clouds inserted into the twin peaks, evening bell in Nanping, and moon in three pools.

The ten views of West Lake are in full view, and then you can watch the Liuhe Pagoda that has been guarding the Qiantang River for more than 800 years.

The West Lake, which is "always suitable for light makeup and heavy makeup", the Wuyun Mountain Peak where the long causeway breaks through the whole lake, and the Lingyin Temple, which is known as the "Yunlin Zen Temple, a thousand-year-old temple", ......

This is the "paradise on earth" Hangzhou!

"Outside the mountain, Qingshan Louwailou", the West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo stewed meat, Longjing shrimp, called Huatong chicken, Song sister-in-law fish soup, West Lake Ulva and other famous dishes are mouthwatering.

The texture is light and soft, and the various silk brocades with beautiful colors and rich luxuries also attract the attention of visitors.

The color is light green, the fragrance is like orchid, the taste is mellow and sweet, the Longjing tea that resembles a bird's tongue makes people leave a lingering fragrance, and there are exquisite West Lake silk umbrellas, folding fans of various materials and other handicrafts that make people linger more.

Compared to returning to S City, it is undoubtedly a paradise for food and shopping.

Crystal like West Lake lotus root powder, sweet as lotus seeds, fresh and tender as dried bamboo shoots, small as walnuts......

There are countless local specialties, and there are well-known local cakes such as dragon whisker cake and osmanthus cake.

When Zhou Jiao saw these snacks, she couldn't help but think of the variety of snacks in the twentieth century, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy through time and space, what did she hesitate about? Buy!

Women seem to have a natural talent for shopping.

Lin Lishan and Cheng Ruzhu joined the shopping ranks, not to mention, but when they eat, wear, and play, they are even more famous when judged along the way. From time to time, we will interpret to everyone what is "Hangzhou on the tip of the tongue", especially their action and sharp-eyed level, which makes a man willing to bow down.

Zhou Jiao even took out the posture of hamsters hoarding winter goods, and had the posture of scattering all the tickets. Every time I go out, whether it is a man or a woman, the people accompanying me all become "Christmas trees" and are covered with bags and bamboo baskets.

The short three days passed in a hurry.

On this trip to Hangzhou, Zhou Jiao gained a lot. In addition to the large bags and small bags on the bright surface, the space is piled up a lot. In addition to various satins and silk quilts, there are also many delicacies. Since Lin Lishan and Cheng Ruzhu can both return with a full load, let alone Zhou Jiao, who is bent on saving supplies.

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

The full implementation of the bill system that followed in the coming year now makes the anxious Zhou Jiao eager to save a piece of grass.

In just three days, Zhou Jiao pulled Zhang Guoqing, and the couple took the time to drive the car and sneak around to the surrounding towns and villages to collect wind and purchase.

Zhou Xiaozheng's camera took a picture of the grandchildren under the patio in the wall door of a large house, the young men on the creaking wooden ladders of the two-story buildings on both sides of the street, and the children playing games in front of the thatched houses of the farmhouses.

Along the way, they found that today, except for big cities, most families have no distinction between north and south regions, except for poverty and poverty.

At this time, blue cloth clothes and gray cloth shoes were popular, how simple and how to come; Most people's clothes are patched, not to mention, they have to be "recycled", that is, the clothes that adults can't wear, changed to be worn by older children, and can no longer be worn, and then changed to be worn by younger children, and the shirt is narrowed to be used as a skirt for children.

Dressing is still like this, and it is even more difficult to eat enough. Except for a small number of families with old backgrounds, ordinary people have to barely drink thick soup for cooking, but they can only make up the number with wild vegetables. In addition, the housing can only be crowded into a small courtyard that is not very spacious, dirty, messy, mixed and messy. Only the yard with more hostesses is cleaner.

It is rare and commendable that these hard-working, simple, hospitable people have not lost their positive spirit in living in poverty, and with faith, they are full of enthusiasm for the future.

Once again, I thought of the tourist attractions not far away, those tourists who were dressed in formal clothes and low-key but could not hide their wealth, as well as the old nobles who walked birds in the capital.

In fact, history is already moving along the trajectory that should be followed.

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, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingyin Temple had a miracle, so that her father would be stable for a lifetime and the family would be well.

Zhang Guoqing held the child and gently patted her shoulder. He was suffering from having outsiders by his side, so he could only silently give his wife some comfort.

At three o'clock in the morning today, the couple rushed to the Lingyin Temple to make incense and make a wish. Didn't you see that the abbot master said to the couple that everything would go as they wished?

That ancient temple that can stand even in the big/calamity/disaster. It can flourish for thousands of years, and believers are endless.

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

Zhou Jiao turned her head and smiled at him.

Mrs. Cheng was full of smiles and looked at the young couple silently. She looked at Zhou Jiao, who was like the eldest sister, and silently prayed in her heart that her sister and brother-in-law would have a spirit in the sky and bless their children and grandchildren.

The Gu family's partial house tree fell and the macaques scattered, the death of the dead, and the decentralization of the devolution made her believe that all karma in the dark would circulate.

At this moment, she touched the wooden beads on her hand, and she was even more happy for her nephew Zhou Xiaozheng. More than 40 years ago, her sister went to Lingyin Temple for him to pray for peace, and 40 years later, his daughter went to Lingyin Temple for him to pray for God and worship Buddha. Her nephew is no longer an orphan in exile, he has a child who is related by blood and thinks about him.

"Jiaojiao, did your father say when he would review the old house?"

Mrs. Cheng asked softly. She only heard her nephew say that it was going to be soon, and it was going to be very soon. The wife said that there must be some enemies who have not been resolved, so they do not go back to the old mansion to worship at present.

She knew that the children didn't tell her because they were worried that they would be hit, so she should not know. It doesn't matter what the truth is. People are doing it, the sky is watching, she will see who the sky has spared.

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

"Forget it this time. Wait until your dad is done and then go. Mrs. Cheng shook her hand and said.

Zhou Jiao didn't say much. This time, when the Gu family was brought down, there must be many people with a heart who are staring at their father and daughter's actions. The life of the whole family is at stake, and she has to wait for her father to make a final decision.
