Jinan in memory (1)

To be exact, Jinan is the place where I grew up and my second hometown. I am not from Jinan. I moved here with my parents when I was six years old, so I took root, so now I can proudly say: I am from Jinan!

When I was a child, my home was in the northernmost part of Jinan, near the present Luokou Clothing City, and the place name was Erdaoba. The north of the dormitory compound is next to the railway bridge. Every time the train passes by, you will hear the rumbling sound at home. Adults always hate the abnormal sound that will come at any time. However, the children are extremely happy. As long as they come home from school and vaguely hear the whistle of the train from far and near, they will always call their friends and run to the grass slope under the train lane to see the green behemoth speeding by. Don't leave until you leave.

At that time, I kept thinking: where are we going when the train is running so fast? I didn't know until I grew up that the train was going to a vast world extending in all directions, which my cognition could never imagine. In this way, I looked at the train tirelessly, and my heart was filled with expectations: when can I sit on that big guy and let it take me to see the outside world!

? I didn't know the outside world was really wonderful until I grew up, went to school and left home! However, my mode of travel is no longer the green train, ship, high-speed rail and plane, and the variety of transportation has far exceeded the expectations of that childhood!

Old Jinan left me a lot of memories. The best memory when I was a child was the zoo at that time-Jinniu Park.

The vicinity of Jinniu Park is relatively prosperous, so it has endless temptations for us! There are rare animals in the park, and I like that little seal best. Every time I go, I can only watch it from the outside of the pool guardrail. Watching it swim and dive happily always tickles my heart. At that time, I always touched its wet skin in my dreams. Of course, this dream came true many years later, but I am no longer a little girl.

? There are also photo studios, Xinhua Bookstore and Goubuli Steamed Bun Shop outside the park. At that time, the vicinity of Jinniu Park was equivalent to today's business circle! When I was in primary school, my father always secretly rewarded me for doing well in every exam. He carried me to the steamed stuffed bun shop by bike to relieve my hunger. I can't remember how much a steamed bread cost at that time, except that my father always smiled at me and ate it. He never eats it himself. Go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy picture books and 64k brochures. Nowadays, the price of picture books is very cheap, a few cents a copy, but it was a luxury expense for a family of five whose family income was only 27 yuan at that time. There is only a reward for buying books after the final exam every year, so I can't get tired of reading comic books, and I am almost immersed in the world of comic books after class. Many years later, the little nephew took a fancy to those picture books, looked at a box full of books and was left in his arms contentedly. My heart ached for many days!

The story of old Jinan is endless. I love Jinan, and I will talk to you one after another!
