In the past two years, I have been going to Shantou and booked two tickets, but I was forced to cancel them before the epidemic.
This year I have a particularly long holiday time, from the beginning of the year to the fifteenth of the first month, and the unit is not willing to let us go to overtime, stay at home for a few days to feel bored, Xiao Fat casually said a word: Or should we go to the donkey? I checked the ticket, Chinese New Year's Eve that day was only about 400 yuan, 1.5% off! The opportunity was rare, and on impulse, I booked four tickets.
What followed was a day and night of waiting, fearing that the epidemic would recur in the middle. Fortunately, this time Harbin is very competitive, the epidemic did not strike again, and we also went smoothly.
More than ten years ago, we would never have dreamed that we would have such a continuous connection with the city of Shantou in this life. Harbin, the northernmost provincial capital city; Shantou, one of the first four cities to open, a prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province, an area with a unique Chaoshan culture, whether it is spatial distance or psychological distance, is too far away.
Everything changed in 2012, the year when Donkey Applied for Shantou University. In early April, I sent a donkey to an interview, and that was my first trip to Shantou.
On April 10, 2012, he sent donkeys to the campus of Shantou University to participate in the graduate student interview
The donkey and I didn't have time or the mood to go around the city at all, but we walked around the university campus with the donkey and hurried back.
Subsequently, the donkey was admitted to shantou university as a graduate student; subsequently, after graduation, he was employed there and became an object there.
This object is Xiao Qiang, I and Xiao Fat have not been looking at it, but the two people are about to talk about marriage and marriage, we always have to go to see each other's parents, so I went to Shantou for the second time, Xiao Fat is the first time to go, it is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2016.
It's just that this meeting was very awkward and extremely unsuccessful, and Xiao Fat and I gave the donkey a stinky scolding, which made the chicken fly and the dog jump.
Then it was constantly listening to the donkey to say that the little strong yellow was good and good, good and yellow, until the spring of 2020, the two people decided to get married.
When two people don't have a wedding, we feel particularly lost, and we catch up with the epidemic, and none of our families go. In the summer vacation of 2020, when Donkey and Xiao Qiang returned, we simply invited a few tables, which was a small, very irregular ceremony.
Last summer, Donkey and Johnny came back, and they kept inviting us over. Especially donkeys, always say to Xiao Fat: Mom, come and see my mansion! When she bought a BMW, she said to her mother: Mom, come and sit on my BMW! When she bought a tesla again, she said to her mother: Mom, this Tesla is really good, Mom, come on! We know that she doesn't really just want us to see her car and mansion, she really wants us to go. But the epidemic has been repeated and has not been successful.
In fact, we especially want to see the life of the donkey after marriage, how she is living, how Xiao Qiang is to her, is she really as happy as she says?
Donkey house, surprisingly clean
We are Chinese New Year's Eve shantou at 9 o'clock in the evening, greeted us by heavy rain, arrived home at more than ten o'clock, donkeys from the hotel to ask for nearly two thousand set menus, because it is packed home, all changed the taste, not delicious at all.
The whole family was excited, the donkey's house was nicely renovated, and even more unexpectedly, surprisingly clean and definitely spotless.
In the southern community, the greening is incomparable to the north. The flowers in the community are full of flowers, and what I didn't expect was that the kumquats on the flower stand were actually real, rotten on them, and no one picked them.
Shantou people pay attention to the purple gas from the east, and the donkey community is in the west of Shantou, which is not the most high-end community in Shantou. At that time, I bought it mainly to be close to her school and convenient to work.
Outside the balcony is Niutian Yang, and further away is the inland sea, with a good view, pleasant scenery and unobstructed view.
Every time the donkey came back, he made her house look like a pigsty, and I told Xiao Fat that her house didn't have to be messy and dirty!
I didn't expect it, it wasn't generally clean! Every plate, bowl, chopsticks, spoon from hood to countertop in the kitchen was as clean as brand new; every bedroom, living room, and furniture was spotless.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!
Shantou, the world of flowers, the ocean of flowers
Shantou, all year round, blossoms undefeated. All kinds of flowers, competing for beauty, bloom in the community, on the side of the street, in the park, Shantou is full of flowers blooming.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of flowers, we don't know. I have always regarded this flower as kapok, but local netizens said that kapok has not yet flowered in this season, and until now, I don't know what kind of flowers this tree is full of red and brilliant blossoms.
What the hell is this flower?
The tree was full of purple flowers, as if it were called some kind of wood, and then forgot it.
Harbin such a tall flowering tree, one is fruit trees, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, sand fruit flowers and the like, generally bloom at the end of April and the beginning of May; landscape flower trees are cloves, which can grow particularly tall and rare.
The only thing we really know is the bougainvillea, Xiao Fat has a pot at home, and as soon as it blossoms, Xiao Fat is particularly proud. Bougainvillea is everywhere in Shantou, and it is called a warm, unrestrained, and atmospheric, and my parents especially like it.
Mom and Dad also especially liked the big banyan tree in Shantou, and they were always amazed at the roots of the big banyan tree, and felt that the entangled qi roots were very incredible.
Seeing that we all like flowers so much, Donkey and Little Qiang took us to the Danying Ecological Garden, where we saw the most colorful lilies.
The tulips here are also particularly beautiful and come in a variety of colors.
In Shantou, you can feel at any time and place facing the sea, spring blossoms.
Isn't this a poetic life?
