When I was a child, I used to go to Wuzhen to play, because my hometown is very close to Wuzhen, and it takes 50 minutes to walk to Wuzhen Fortuna Bay. At that time, it was necessary to cross the Grand Canal by ferry to the county seat, and it took more than 2 hours to walk to reach the county seat, which was too far and inconvenient, so I often went to Wuzhen when I was a child.
I remember one time, when I was about 14 years old, my mother prepared self-raised chickens and ducks to sell, and I prepared twenty or thirty catties of refining trees to sell in Wuzhen, 5 cents per catty, and 30 catties could be sold for 15 yuan, for me is a big sale.
Starting from home, carrying the refining tree on the shoulder, along the trail and canal, set off early in the morning, 50 minutes later can reach a place called Tiegaoqiao not far from the east gate of Wuzhen, and then sit down and take a break, and finally walk along the famous Sanlitang (stone paved road) to the God of Wealth Bay, which is considered to have arrived in Wuzhen, and my mother can sell chickens and ducks on the stall, and my refining tree is sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, which is purchased by the state for making soap. Now the God of Wealth Bay has been developed into the Wuzhen Dongzha Scenic Area, and Sanlitang seems to have ceased to exist, but it is a pity.
After selling things, take a walk around the center of Wuzhen, take a walk around the department stores (all state-owned), and the farthest point will be to the north gate of Wuzhen, there was a local saying at that time"In the north gate of Wuzhen, there is no sun", probably described as a very unsafe place before the liberation, Wuzhen Beizha was a very unsafe place.
Buy a few at noon in Wuzhen"Oil-swallowed buns"and"Fox Peak Nest"Eat, it's delicious, now there is a food store in Wuzhen Scenic Area that specializes in selling these two kinds of dim sum, and then walk to a noodle shop (state-run) in Dongzha, eat a bowl of pickled vegetables and shredded pork noodles, 9 cents per bowl of noodles, is it cheap? At that time, it was indeed at this price.
Forty-eight years have passed, and my mother has been gone for thirty-two years. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Wuzhen has developed into a nationally famous cultural tourism town and a permanent venue for the Internet Conference, which was undreamed of at the time.
Parents are here, and there is still a place to come in life; When your parents go, there is only one way back in life.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, I would like to write about my childhood to express my thoughts about my dear mother.
