Memory Travel Knew (b) the brother with the Tour
College entrance examination, for each of the people of this era, there will be some or sour or sweet or bitter, but it must be an unforgettable memory bar. The summer of 1997, my baby brother for the second time to participate in the college entrance exams, in order to give him and encouraging, I gave him the promise of handsome rewards: College Entrance Examination exhausted, he can go to Hangzhou, came to see me, playing two months, room and board Laoge I am all-inclusive. But also in our company put off heat, when I took him to stroll, Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai, and the full cost of Laoge bleeding.
I was 24 years old, graduated from college three years, a state-owned factory in Hangzhou, to work, holding a modest salary, just enough to feed me a human being. But every summer, the factory will have 15 days holiday, be regarded as the superiority of the socialist point. (Later I went to duties where the capitalists men, every time this time, I would sigh of my colleagues said, "before in certain plants, we put high-temperature off!" Like Xianglinsao.)
Brother scheduled arrival in Hangzhou had a month free, and duck to water, such as the tiger came out of life. We grew up in the southwest, where the natural and human environment and the Yangtze River Delta are very different from his younger brother is the first time out of the province of the door. After he came, I gave him a map of Hangzhou and some money, let him play himself every day, I believe he must have many horizons. Later, he once told me that this month, he has made many people around the lake alone in a walk around (on foot circle around the West Lake, about 15 kilometers, take several hours), each time wait senselessly drifted almost to forget the back.
Early August, the factory on holiday, so we buy the August 7 from Hangzhou to Wuxi, cruise tickets, prepared along the Suzhou, Wuxi --- ---- Shanghai route to complete the trip, but also forget my a wish.
Very strange that after so many years later, was in Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai, I have gradually faded away from the situation, but only Hangzhou to Wuxi boat trip is still deeply into my mind.
The reason why the first boat to Wuxi, is because it is not only way-shun, but also along the canal and watch the beauty of Taihu Lake, you can also sleep a night on board, saving a night's accommodation. Remember that ticket is about 50 yuan a bar, four one cabin, 6 pm starting from the Hangzhou Wulin Gate piers along the Grand Canal to the Huzhou into Taihu Lake, the next day 7 am to Wuxi. Dreaming of the Tiger boats called numbers, though is still in operation.
We boarded on time, my brother is very excited to travel this time he looked forward to a long time, almost as a spiritual pillar of the former college entrance examination ... ... .. (of course, is one. Hehe) And this day is the birthday of his 20 years of age, his period of Pan grew up in a long time.
Vessel flute soon as a long sound, open a Wulin Gate Ferry. Dreaming of the Tiger numbers are divided into upper and lower layers, the lower cabin all the upper part of the cabin, there is a small restaurant, there is an open-air platform. We will bag in the cabin put away and embark on an open-air platform, watching the scenery on both sides of the canal while drinking beer with us while chatting on national affairs at that time (just happened to Hong Kong's return is also distinctly re-mesh) and the little things of life. Front of picturesque beauty, the brothers talk of the warm, I really hope that this time, come to a halt. Since I left home university, there 7 years ago had few opportunities to hear his brother talk about the heart. One expatriate lifestyle is not easy, I also have a lot of grievances to the brother down.
Until Tian Sean down, I am reminded of his brother's birthday, we went to the ship, the small restaurant point of extra dishes as his birthday dinner. (Using the now popular saying that is to corrupt one. Hehe) dishes very general, but also expensive, but the atmosphere is fantastic. A small restaurant packed with people, eating a meal can also be played at that time was in full swing of the Kara OK. Several visitors to the northern accent to sing well, but it will lead to the atmosphere, until we were a little drunk.
Night, while me and my brother laughing with each other by the arm while the bus back to the cabin, feel not so happy in a long time. Brother, forget college entrance examination, I forget the work, leaving only a pleasant trip in our hearts.
