Willing to Be Hometown —— Recalling Huizhou

I was fortunate to have been a native of Huizhou, and

I would like to make my hometown in other places.

1.

A Dong, a friend of Huizhou, and his party came to Qingdao these days, and we got together three times in four days. This goodbye has pulled out all the thoughts I had deeply buried in my heart for Huizhou, and filled my heart with drifting. I have to freshen up.

I used to enjoy wandering, and I have lived in Beijing, Rome, Milan, Huizhou and Hangzhou for a long time. Among them, my favorite is Huizhou, a small town in Guangdong.

At that time, after living in Rome and Milan for nearly ten years, my husband, Italian David, wanted to live in China. At that time, I lived very comfortably in Italy, and it seems that returning to China or not has its own advantages and disadvantages. Respecting his idea, I agreed to return to China, but I hope to go to an unfamiliar place far away from home that can bring me fresh feelings. When he put the name Huizhou before my eyes, I felt a little happy. Guangdong is both strange and familiar in my heart, and I still yearn for her. Take out the map, well, it's more than an hour's drive from Shenzhen, and it's also very convenient to go to Hong Kong, and it's only more than two hours' drive from Guangzhou. Not bad!

In November 26, my husband and I happily parachuted into Huizhou.

as expatriates of the company, we enjoy the care from accommodation, transportation to catering. We first stayed in the best Kangdi Hotel in Huizhou at that time. Except for two trips to Italy and several short-term vacations, we stayed in this hotel for ten months in a year. In fact, after staying in the hotel for a long time, I feel all kinds of inconveniences, such as the boring home furnishings; There is not enough space to put our own literary feelings ... but the advantage of staying in a hotel is that we have enough spare time.

We often have dinner with our Italian colleagues and have buffet or Brazilian barbecue together. Eat food stalls with local friends I met at work, or have morning tea and midnight snack ... Among them is Adong. Adong is a local. He is gentle and considerate of others. He is a master of badminton, and we learned the basic movements of badminton with him. Mr. Wang is tall, 1.9 meters. Although his movements are slightly uncoordinated, the advantages of long legs and long arms are obvious. Although I think I have strong athletic ability, I can only admit defeat when playing badminton with him. And when my husband and I worked hard together to deal with Adong, I saw him standing still, not exerting strength or running, just deftly and easily waving a few beats, and then we were beaten in a mess! Master is amazing!

Through the activities of the local website forum, we got to know the Dandan family from Hubei. Dandan's skin is white and tender. At first glance, he feels particularly comfortable. At second glance, he feels very beautiful. She is high flyers of Wuhan University. She is a standard girl with both beauty and talent. My love for SLR photography was also introduced by her.

Through Dandan, we got to know the Aying family, a local girl in Huizhou. Together with A Ying's best friend, the beautiful girl Wei, who was working in Southern TV at that time, our four moms gave birth to four little princes in half a year. It has also become a lively thing for four hot moms to get together with their babbling babies in their busy schedules.

Dandan's husband is very good at making travel guides, and he can eat and play. So after both our children turned two years old, we opened go on road trip, whose final destination is Qiandongnan, via Yangshuo in Huizhou. Qiandongnan, so far, is the place I never forget and want to go back and see. Simple folk customs, distinctive national architecture and exotic atmosphere of local customs and festivals are so rich that they are my favorite bite of this young literary and artistic person.

time flies. Ten years have passed since they first met, and both Dandan and Aying have developed well. It can be said that they have both completed their ascent from Xueba to business elite to entrepreneur.

The year before last, Danny came to Qingdao to play. We met in Luojia Coffee, and we were happy to catch up and take photos.

in the evening, as a guest, she invited our family to dinner! Because her friend, the boss of a company, is the host. On the wine table, Danny asked the sky about the wine, which was very soft and generous. It was really handsome and cool!

A Ying, on the other hand, made media first and then made financial investment. Last year, she launched her own healthy lifestyle catering brand-WEEKEND School. She said that she hopes to have 48 hours a day, so that she can work and take care of her family and travel!

The lovely thing about a small city is that when you meet someone new, you will find friends who share the same interests after chatting. My husband will listen to Huizhou radio while driving, and after listening for a while, he will lock up Candy Sister, who is also Aying's best friend.

Small towns seem to leave more opportunities for young entrepreneurs, but no matter where they are, successful people will have some qualities in common, such as high goals, perseverance, courage and determination. It is also these people who will try to control their own destiny wherever they go, making the world more comfortable and moving.

As soon as we arrived in Huizhou, we started to buy a house. After seeing several properties, we locked in Venice in the East. During the renovation of the new house, I met a sweet and smiling aunt-Cherry. She is a petite and weak Huizhou native, but she is also a schoolmaster of South China University of Technology! We installed houses at the same time, and we were all guest appearances high our own home decorators. It was really fun. His home is a perfect Mediterranean style, while I am a modern simple mix, such as gray walls with feather chandeliers; The 1X1 small black-and-white brick wall is decorated with piano-key-like jumping notes, or a piece of silvery white or gold ornament occasionally ... Even the bricklayer felt my happy jumping mood. Although the decoration style is different from Cherry's, as shooters, we appreciate and flatter each other, and the time together is always laughing happily. Her husband is a Hong Kong boy. Their love is sticky, and her husband vows to give his beautiful princess the happiest life. He did it. They live their daily lives many times sweeter than honey; Make ordinary days as classic as their wedding celebration day.

The Venice Community in the East is the most beautiful community in China today. All kinds of green plants, flowers and bridges are strewn at random, watching tadpoles turn into frogs, and all kinds of bugs jump between crevices and grasses. The weather in Guangdong is very warm in March. The outdoor swimming pool in the community is a paradise for everyone. Old children, older children and children can play in the water from four or five o'clock in the afternoon until it gets dark in the evening.

When I was playing in the yard with my son, I got to know Dudu's mother, who is also from Shandong. I hit it off with Binbin's mother from Nanjing again. We became best friends. Living in the same community, it is very convenient to meet each other every day. We visit each other, the children play together, and we talk about our husbands, families and beauty together. We are very relaxed and comfortable. Later, when we moved to Hangzhou, it happened that Dudu's mother's brother graduated from Hangzhou Conservatory of Music with a doctorate. We went to his concert together and got together again.

There are many delicious things in Huizhou. I can't get tired of rice rolls and vermicelli soup every morning after eating for several years, and my mouth is watering every time I think about it. After returning to Qingdao, I especially want to open a breakfast shop that specializes in rice rolls, not for anything else, but to satisfy my own mouth watering. Fat woman's seafood, casserole seafood porridge, roast whole sheep, lotus leaf rice, Cantonese wonton, and of course, meat dumplings and moon cakes! They are all fat but not greasy, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it is! Although Huizhou's friends haven't seen each other for many years, thanks to WeChat, many people still seem to be around. For example, Xiaoqing, an old neighbor, often brings news of new changes near Venice in the East. There is also Pierre, a neighbor who lives in Hangzhou and works in Daya Bay Power Station ... There is a city slogan in Huizhou: Old Huizhou and New Huizhou, who lives in Huizhou is Huizhou people! In this way, I am also very happy, because I have been a Huizhou native!

When it comes to delicious food in Huizhou and all kinds of fruits, litchi is my favorite. Pick fresh lychees from the trees on the mountain, take a big bag home and eat it slowly in the refrigerator after eating. Huizhou people say that litchi is too angry to eat too much at a time. And I have the luck to eat, and occasionally I will not get angry if I eat a small box. I am very proud (Huizhou aunts will say, "This child is so proud" when they see a child. Although I am not very clear about the meaning of this word, I really want to use it here to express my "pride". ) I also ate super fresh durian, longan, mango, pitaya, pipa banana, small olive and grapefruit and so on. Accompanied by so many fresh fruits and vegetables, I grew up in the north so comfortable that every cell opened its mouth and breathed all the time, as if the air was filled with vitamins. I especially remember that Dandan's husband loves jackfruit. That day, Danny was driving (Danny was the most female driver I have ever followed, and the scene of racing on the empty street at night after the concert was the fastest I had ever been). Her husband held a whole jackfruit in his hand, snapped one for us, and then snapped one for himself to chew, smiling and saying Southern Mandarin. His favorite song "Go to the sea with you" came from the stereo. One of the best is American Alex. Alex's wife, Maymay, was born in Boluo, and his grandfather came to Hong Kong, and later settled in Britain. Maymay went back to Huizhou to live with Alex for five or six years. As a Chinese-British, her mother tongue is English, and she can speak fluent vernacular, that is, Cantonese, but she can only speak very little Mandarin, and she can't read any Chinese characters. My husband and Alex have the same temperament, and we have many happy things together. Following Alex, we met Kevin's family from Taiwan Province. Their family opened a farm paradise, with horses, cows, snakes, rabbits, all kinds of poultry and insects, outdoor sports venues for children and sometimes acrobatic performances. Their yard is large, and they often have barbecue parties. Every time, adults and children have fun.

My eldest son went to kindergarten at the age of two and a half. It is an experimental class based on children's psychological development, called Acorn Class. The founder is Beibei, who has been engaged in preschool education for more than ten years and is outspoken and wants to do something meaningful. There is a tall, thin and loud boy named Shuai Shuai in Acorn Class. Her mother is an outdoor sports enthusiast and a master craftsman. She can cook all kinds of delicious food, such as pizza and soft sweet bread, which is n times more delicious than brand stores. She is hospitable, and all kinds of names can be the source of dinner at her house. From Shuai Shuai's mother's mouth, I first heard the words "Waldorf education", and later my two children went to Waldorf school in Qingdao.

I once told a mother in the acorn class that I really hope the world is beautiful everywhere. This mother is a outspoken person, she said, you want to make the world beautiful everywhere, just to make you have a comfortable living environment. Yes, yes, in such a comfortable environment in Huizhou, I have the idea of a small country and few people, that is, I hope to live in a beautiful environment, where everyone helps and loves each other and is happy every day.

After living in Rome for five years, my outlook on social life was biased towards the mode of * * * having a home. At that time, I was still young and even thought that marriage was unnecessary. We were all brothers and sisters. Of course, it was only a theoretical idea at that time. However, from the beginning of Huizhou life, it seems that a utopian paradise can really exist in the green mountains and green waters, and in the tile houses in the mountains and forests. Apart from the geographical environment, with so many wonderful friends living in the present, I think a beautiful home can be realized ...

But Mr. Wang has already wanted to finish his work in Huizhou. I am reluctant to part with Huizhou, but Mr. Wang has arranged everything in Hangzhou, and he is ready for the next "adventure". Reluctantly, we left Huizhou. I am very, very grateful to my husband, who gave me a four-year holiday in Huizhou. Very, very beautiful.

to this day, our license plate number is still Guangdong Lu-on the road, we are always pioneers, but wherever we go, we always take the imprint of Huizhou with us.
