Grandma is far away in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and the traffic used to be very inconvenient. From Shanghai to grandma's house, change boats by train. It takes place at three or four o'clock in the afternoon to leave home in the morning and arrive at grandma's house. Because I am particularly carsick and seasick, my mother went to see my grandmother once a year. I want to go for two or three years. Today, when we want to choose an uncle, it's already past ten o'clock, saying that grandma is waiting for our lunch time? I don't believe it at all. We sat in Barker's van, got on A4 Expressway and took the East-West Avenue, which only took one hour!
In my memory, crossing the ferry covered with green slate and along a narrow alley street is my grandmother's home. It is an old house by the river, with pink walls and tiles. The spacious and bright wooden windows and curtains along the river may make you feel romantic, classical and romantic. The reality of life is: the kitchen and the living room are together, and my grandfather keeps coughing when the coal ball furnace gas is scattered; There is no bathroom at home, and grandma walks down and carries it to the toilet every day; During the rainy season, the river flooded into the house, and the old furniture gave off an unpleasant musty smell ... What grandma was most worried about was that all her sons and daughters had come back for the holidays. How could so many people live? Therefore, my grandmother often says, "Alas, when can I change to a bigger house?" This year, my grandmother's dream finally came true. The town was transformed and the old man moved into a new building. Now, in front of us is a beautiful little house with glazed tiles shining in the sun and a pointed roof like a fairy tale castle in the west. A yard surrounded by a big bamboo fence, fragrant osmanthus trees, fruits of pomegranate trees, smiling faces of colorful chrysanthemums in flower beds, little white cats lazily sleeping in the sun and entering the living room, spacious and bright kitchen and bathroom, gas and tap water, and various toilets. What makes my grandmother most satisfied is that she can leave a room for each child. Grandma was happy from ear to ear.
Standing on the third floor of grandma's house, I looked at the criss-crossing sections of Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, Sujiazha Expressway, East-West Avenue and roads, extending in all directions. Not far away is a literary field, the spirit of ice and fire. A young girl is sitting in a bucket, Cai Ling is sitting, wearing bright clothes and drawing water. There is a big lawn, a children's playground and a fitness area for the elderly in the pond. Every morning, grandma will go there to do morning exercises. Looking at such a beautiful garden building, you would never think that there are only a few small huts and poor strangers living here. Moving into a new house and living in the garden, grandma's health is getting better and better and she is full of energy. She smiled and said to us, "If only there had been a more beautiful town since the reform and opening up. Life is getting better and better, and it is more convenient to travel. I heard that the Shanghai rail transit was repaired, so it was half repaired! " At that time, when you were a child, it was better to come back every morning every week. Hehe, my old woman died at night, hahaha ... "
Listening to grandma's hearty laughter, I feel very depressed. Yes, from the ever-changing grandmother, I saw the ever-changing changes in our old China. Ah, long live the motherland! This is you, this is me, and this is a happy child!
