The leisurely life of rebirth.

'Bang Dang Dang, Bang Dang Dang' Fang Monan and the others boarded the old-fashioned train heading south at noon, and the word was 'slow'. Fortunately, they were prepared in advance, and they took hard sleepers.At the beginning, they looked at the scenery outside with great interest, including low-rise cities, villages, and fields.Later, after watching too much, I gradually lost interest. Fortunately, Fang Monan was prepared. Two days before he left, he asked his mother to make a backpack out of green canvas.There are books and fruits in it symbolically. Anyway, it is bulging, so I just took out some books and fruits.As long as Mobei has something to eat, the remaining four adults want to play cards, but unfortunately grandma can't, so they have to read it with a magazine. Although the font is in traditional Chinese, they have read it a lot, and they can understand it long ago. Only grandma, but not Influence her to look at pictures.

Fang Monan gnawed on the apple, "Kachi, kachi", "Why do you love apples so much?" Auntie looked at her and said.

"Apple is also known as wisdom fruit. If you eat too much, you won't get angry. Tell me whether I will eat it or not." 'Kachi, kachi' are two more bites, crisp and sweet.

"You still need wisdom! You are about to become a genius, little man." While flipping through the headlines of the daily newspaper casually.A tirade of praise. "Give me one." Auntie held out her hand.

Fang Monan took one out of his canvas pocket and handed it to her, "Hey, auntie, take a look, is your essay for the college entrance examination published in the newspaper?" Looking for it, I found my aunt's name. She really wrote it, but I didn't expect it to be published in the newspaper. [

"Let me take a look." Mr. Lin took the newspaper and nodded while reading it. "Ah! It's really our Xiaoyan's article. Hmm! Hmm! It's well written and very profound."

"What is well written?" Qi Qiushi, who had just returned from getting hot water outside, asked curiously.

"Oh! Auntie's composition has been published in the newspaper." Fang Monan said to him.

"Ah! That's really great, let me read it." Qi Qiushi took the newspaper from the old man and read it carefully. He was shocked, and felt that the distance between Xiaoyan and Xiaoyan was even further, but it also made him secretly I made a decision, even if I can't go to university like her, I still have to study on my own, and try to narrow the gap.

Mr. Lin gave them a meaningful look, but said nothing. After this trip is over, they will all undergo profound changes.It's not too late to talk about these things on the return trip, let's relax and have a good time.

After wandering around for more than 20 hours, I finally arrived in Shanghai the next morning, the largest city in China.After getting off the train, standing on flat ground, I still felt unsteady and unsteady.After leaving Shanghai Laobei Railway Station, they bought a local traffic map.Then Fang Monan and the others found a restaurant to eat. The lunch box on the train was really unpalatable. Fang Monan basically ate fruit as a meal, and the other two ate some together to fill their stomachs.

A small restaurant with a small front, spacious after entering, warm orange color, which stimulates appetite.There are five tables, the benches are simple and clean, and it is not yet lunch time, so there is no one inside, only a few of them.

The person who came to receive them was a young man with a smile on his face and a sense of joy. He was in his 20s, of medium build, wearing an apron. Overall, he looked clean and fresh.Fang Monan and the others just ordered the dishes, watched him write in the notebook, hung the pen on the clothes, turned and left, and the simple meals for the table were ready in a short while, and the taste was not as good as the ones at home. Well, it's just a local dish, and some people are not used to it.There is no way to be happy at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a day, let's make do!

The development of Shanghai in this period obviously lagged behind that of Lingnan Province, and there was no way to shift the policy lightly. The national power was all in the south, and there was no fast lane for development here.Everything is so quiet, and the material is not dazzling. In Fang Monan's eyes, it is like an old yellowing photo.

Since the 20s, especially after entering the 90st century, Shanghai has set the goal of building "four centers" and implemented the main strategy of "prospering the city through science and education" to further expand internal and external opening, accelerate technological and institutional innovation, and make Shanghai The national economy has maintained a good momentum of rapid and healthy development, and the internal driving force of economic growth has been continuously strengthened, making great strides forward.

At this time, there are not as many cars and people as there are in the later generations. Fang Monan and the others have a lot of time and money. Dime, stuffy and hot, it was unbearable.Especially not being able to enter the space.Fang Monan forced himself to stay until dawn, but he couldn't take it anymore. After discussing with his grandmother and Mr. Lin, he retired from the bed. There is no reason to abuse him like this if he has money.

They went to Nanjing Road for the first stop because they were not in good spirits, and everyone was attracted by the prosperity of Nanjing Road.The spirit immediately recovered a lot.There is a lot of people on the sidewalk, people wear old and simple clothes, the color is very dim, and many big men wear shorts, and fat people are rarely seen.Buses and trams crowded with people, passing through the middle of the road, and occasionally cars passing by.

If the Bund is reserved for lovers to stroll, then Nanjing Road is a good place for all Shanghainese.Nanjing Road is the road that best recognizes Shanghai and Shanghai.This road was already famous far and wide during the period of the Republic of China.

Fang Monan and the others didn't have a good rest last night, so they just passed by Nanjing Road in a hurry.It was almost noon, and the weather was too hot. Standing on the Bund, they didn't have any mood to appreciate it.

Fang Monan looked back and saw the Peace Hotel on the Bund, so he went there to rest.

"Mom, we really want to live there, it doesn't look cheap there." Auntie said to them.

'What can I do, no one can change Nannan's decision, just stay here!Anyway, it's not that I can't afford it. 'Grandma murmured in her heart, "Let's live there! I'll pay for it, why are you in a hurry." Grandma paused and said, "We're going to live there. That's the decision. No objection is allowed."

A group of people walked to the Peace Hotel, a hotel with a long history and a graceful Gothic architectural style building, shining like a pearl embedded in the International Architecture Expo on the Bund.

The front desk service is first-class, and the work efficiency is good and fast.They are welcomed as at home.Looking at the luxurious decoration in the hotel, my aunt kept clicking her tongue, muttering: "How much does it cost for one night?" [

Walking here is like being in a time tunnel, imagining a lot in the fusion and interlacing of modernity and tradition, trendy and retro.

Fang Monan and the others asked for three rooms, 10 yuan per room, the room area is about 30 square meters, the furnishings are very new, exquisite furniture, TV, and bathroom facilities.

In short, it is very comfortable. Fang Monan shares a room with his grandma, Auntie shares a room with Mobei, and Mr. Lin shares a room with Qi Qiushi.

In Mr. Lin's room, Qi Qiushi paced back and forth, muttering incessantly: "This is too extravagant, how much will it cost?" Counting his own money with his fingers was like running water, rushing...

"Hey! Young man, calm down, there are some things, don't worry, let's talk about it when we get back, and now experience this trip well, you don't need to worry about the money." Mr. Lin looked at him funny Like a ground cat.

Qi Qiushi hinted desperately in his heart, but how could he not be in a hurry, seeing that she was about to fly away, who knew what would happen in the past four years.Forget it, it's because he can't escape, it's not because he can't force it, it's better to listen to the old man and take a good look and think carefully.

"Okay, let's take a shower first, I'm sweaty all over." Mr. Lin no longer cared about him who was in deep thought, and had to comprehend these things by himself.

They all washed up and went to the restaurant for dinner. "Hey... the food here is average, not as good as what we eat at home?"

The aunt took a few bites and commented, "It's really not worth the expensive room rate."

"It's not that it's not delicious, it's just that we northerners are not used to local food, so let's make do when we go out!" said Mr. Lin.

After everyone had eaten, Fang Monan took out fruits from the room and handed them to them one by one.

"Fruits are still delicious." Auntie said while nibbling on an apple.

"Now that we have enough food and drink, let's set off for Nanjing Road." The group of them was full of energy this time, and they had a good time strolling around the bustling Nanjing Road.If it is a store, just go in and see it.After two hours, grandma and Mr. Lin were dying, and Fang Mobei couldn't take it anymore. Only my aunt was still in high spirits.In the end, Mr. Lin took Xiaobei and waited on the Bund.

At that time, people who went on business trips to Shanghai would always buy back the items that their colleagues asked them to bring back in big bags. In fact, some of these items were not as novel as the items in Liang Zi’s small shop.But women just want this feeling of shopping, and my aunt still wants to go shopping, so Qi Qiushi has no choice but to risk her life to accompany her.

Fang Monan decided to go shopping. At this time, the goods in Shanghai are guaranteed in quality and quantity.There should be no fake bars here!She took her grandma to the department store and swept away the Moutai and Wuliangye on the counter. At this time, the wine was as cheap as Chinese cabbage in her eyes.

Grandma was dumbfounded, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Nannan, why are we buying liquor!"

"Give it as a gift, or drink it yourself, it's so cheap, you can wait for it to appreciate in value, although it's not as great as the appreciation potential of special wine." Fang Monan said, in a word, you can't buy it.

Buying too much is easy to attract others' attention, so Fang Monan and the others finally bought two bottles. When they went out, Fang Monan put the wine into the space and continued to look for the next store while no one was paying attention.During this trip, Fang Monan did not buy less liquor.

Fang Monan also bought Minguang quilts, which are made of pure cotton, wear-resistant, flat and crisp, bright in color, long-lasting after washing, with fine and elegant patterns, and most of the patterns are traditional. There are festive elements in orange, red and blue.

Minguang quilt sheet is the first professional enterprise in China to enter the home textile industry and form a brand advantage.After more than half a century of ups and downs, the Minguang brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of several generations of consumers, and has become a time-honored brand with a high reputation in the home textile industry.

Fang Monan exaggeratedly bought more than 20 pieces, and his grandma was shocked, "You girl, what are you doing with so much money? When will this be used to the end!"

"Grandma, you don't understand, this is a good thing." Fang Monan said, "One day it will run out." [

In addition, Fang Monan also bought many time-honored products such as: Zhang Xiaoquan scissors, small garden cloth shoes, red heart electric irons, Phoenix blankets, white rabbit toffee, and canned plums.

After cleaning up, grandma finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that she stopped buying, "You might as well move the department store back."

"Really." Fang Monan laughed, still believing it.

"You... mess around." Grandma reprimanded.

"Hehe... teasing you." Fang Monan said, grandma couldn't laugh or cry when she said teasing you.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm sensible." Fang Monan said in a rare and serious manner.

"Hey! Forget it, I can't control you." Grandma waved her hand, "You just need to know how to behave."

Fang Monan and his grandma went to the Bund to find Mr. Lin and Xiaobei.

Standing on the Bund, Fang Monan looked at Lujiazui across the Huangpu River without the Oriental Pearl Tower, World Financial Center, Jinmao Tower, or Shangri-La. The ferry terminal on the Huangpu River was full of emotion.

Nanjing Road at night is much quieter than during the day, and the night economy has not yet started, only the dim street lights, without the flickering neon lights, it is really unaccustomed to people.

*************************

For the next week, Fang Monan and the others took a quick look at the places of interest in Shanghai, such as: Longhua Temple, Jing'an Temple, Jade Buddha Temple, Chenghuang Temple, and Yuyuan Garden. These temples are all my grandma's favorite places to visit.

As a foodie, it is impossible for Fang Monan to give up the time-honored restaurants he has been looking for along the way.Time-honored brand, a long-lasting, honorable and glorious name, only it can taste the unique old taste of the city.

The most famous dishes on Yunnan Road are Peking Duck and Little Jinling Salted Duck.There are also "Xiandelai" pork rib rice cakes, "Xiao Shaoxing" fried chicken, "Nanxiang" steamed buns, Tianjin Goubuli buns, Shandong dumplings, "Old Sichuan" hot pot, etc. Of course, the most "worried" ones The "Xinjiang roast mutton" is the number one, you can smell the aroma of mutton from afar, and you can buy a skewer for a few cents, Fang Monan was a little reluctant to let them leave Yunnan Road.

Tourism has not yet been developed, and what I see is the original flavor. I also went to the famous Confucian Temple second-hand bookstall with great interest, and found a lot of good things.

On the last day, they had a banquet at the most advanced international hotel at that time, worth 30 yuan, and Moutai wine was 8 yuan.The banquet table is very high-standard, with assorted hot pot in the middle, pomfret in tomato sauce on the side, Bawang duck surrounded by duck eggs, tofu with crab powder, smoked fish, and braised trotter.Beverage orange water, after drinking, there will be a yellow layer on the tongue.

*****************************

Fang Monan and his group went south all the way, with plenty of time, stop and go, along the railway westward, to the West Lake, the beauty is in the West Lake, and the Song Dynasty began to call the West Lake.

There are three islands in the lake: Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, Huxin Pavilion, and Ruan Gongdun.Clouds, mountains and beautiful waters are the background of the West Lake; the blend of landscape and humanities is the style of the West Lake Scenic Area.The beauty of West Lake lies in the fact that the lake is surrounded by mountains, and outside the mountain screen lake, the lake and mountains complement each other.The beauty of the West Lake lies in the twinkling lights in the sunny weather and the emptiness in the rainy weather. It can become a scene regardless of rain or snow.The lake area is famous for the beautiful scenery of Su Causeway and Bai Causeway.Su Causeway and Bai Causeway traverse West Lake, dividing West Lake into five parts: Xili Lake, Xiaonan Lake, Yue Lake, Outer Lake and Inner Lake.Whenever the morning sun rises, Cebu is like smoke, and mist rises from the lake, it will appear

Fang Monan and the others continued to travel westward, climbing Mount Lu, admiring the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, stepping on the Tengwang Pavilion, and savoring the humanistic atmosphere carefully.

They continued westward and went straight to Yuelu Mountain, which is quiet and cool in midsummer, and Yuelu Mountain is famous for its beautiful forests and ravines, and deep mountains and streams.Treasure trees, Luo Hansong in the Six Dynasties, Ginkgo biloba in Tang and Song Dynasties, and pine and camphor in Ming and Qing Dynasties are quite famous.

Located at the eastern foot of Yuelu Mountain, Lu Academy was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was named Yuelu Academy by Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty.It is the largest and best-preserved academy complex in China.It's a pity that it is still a bit dilapidated, but it has witnessed the vicissitudes and changes of history, and it has a special style.After Mr. Lin's explanation, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of reading, smell the fragrance of ink, and seem to be able to see the prosperity of the past when they walked inside.

They went north again to see Dongting Lake 800 miles away. At this time, the natural environment was not disturbed by people around. It was really blue waves and misty waves, and fish could be seen in the clear water.Its scenery is beautiful and charming, vast and tortuous, and the mountains are abrupt. Its biggest feature is that there are lakes outside the lake, mountains in the lake, little fishing sails, green reeds and green leaves, water and sky, and gulls flying.No wonder Li Bai's poem says: Sweep the clear lake lightly and open the jade mirror, and the painting of Danqing is Junshan.

Climbing Yueyang Tower, you can browse the lake and mountains of Dongting Lake for eight hundred miles.Since ancient times, it has been known as "Dongting is the world's water, and Yueyang is the world's building".It's a pity that Fang Monan and the others didn't come at the right time, because the place was under major renovation and was not open to the public, so they had no choice but to take pictures of the overhauled Yueyang Tower, which was a rare opportunity.

At this time, the scenery is pleasant without pollution, less artificial craftsmanship, and more natural.Stopping and stopping along the way, the camera in Fang Monan's hand kept clicking, clicking. '

Of course, during the period, Fang Monan still led his grandmother to act alone, going to these time-honored brands in the city to buy some 'old things'.Such as: Hangzhou silk, embroidery, silk umbrellas, authentic Longjing tea, Wang Xingji fans have a long history, exquisite craftsmanship, beautiful fan decoration, Hunan embroidery screens, handkerchiefs, scarves, double-sided embroidered screens and other handicrafts.

Grandma always mutters about this, Fang Monan is a little prodigal, and this is not how money is spent.

Fang Monan always said with a smile that it is cheap, cheap is really cheap, and it is worth the money.The prices at this time were really low, and in her opinion, it was very cheap, and all of them were genuine, hand-embroidered, not adulterated, not machine-embroidered in the future.

Wherever Fang Monan went, they didn't miss any of these time-honored restaurants, and they ate them all, greatly satisfying their appetite.

At this time, it is not like traveling in the later generations, getting on the car to sleep, getting off to see the temple, the black crowd is like locusts passing through the border, scary!People seem to be suffering from hunger and thirst.A little discount, a little cheap.It seems to be a limited-time rush sale in the supermarket, desperately grabbing, as if there is no such store after passing through this village.The more people go, the more it means that they have no money, so they will care about these small discounts. Living at home is to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, and the mentality of saving what you can is for future security.

yes!A serious illness caused the family to be ruined, and the savings of several generations were plundered for a house, and the young couple had to bear debts.So they try their best to take advantage of the small advantages offered by others. People seem to lack a sense of security, rushing sooner rather than later.

They didn't go south to Yangcheng until the end of July, and they had plenty of time to have fun.Talking about having fun is just enjoying the beautiful scenery. There are not so many entertainment facilities in this season, which is enough for everyone to have a long aftertaste.When you are tired, just stop and rest.The rest of the people who got off the train station were dusty and exhausted, but Fang Monan and his group were full of energy and high spirits. At this time, everyone was struggling for food and clothing, so how could they come out to play leisurely like them.
