Chapter 4
Although Shanghai is a downtown city, I hardly can tell where to visit , living here for almost 20years… Bund? (i am sure you have watched a lot about it on TV), Temple? ( maybe foreign people would be interested in it, and don’t do shopping there , the goods there are not in good quality… Huaihai Road? That isn’t suitable for two men walking there, but women.
After a long-time thinking over, I still decide to take him to visit those places above ,as a mission, but Le yang feels delighted about it, and often asks me which country’s style the construction is, when was it built…. I am almost driven by those questions, but luckily my major is construction, , so my professional explanation makes him admire me so much.
I cant help taking the ferry ride with him, When he saw the tricycle is on the boat, his surprised expressions make him look like a child. He picks a position near the side, with hands leaning on the railing , river wind blowing his hair up, exposing a smooth and beautiful forehead. I noticed that several girls nearby takes some glances at us.
“ Dude, is this the Huangpu river?” he asks.
“ well , how does it look? Like a drainage ditch ,hum? It cant be compared to your Songhua river anyway.”
“how come?” he smiles ,” it looks like Guilinggao ( a kind of medicine with the dark color)”
I am kind of speechless upon hearing that.. but seeing that river waves of muddy black water….it is really like a spoonful of Guilinggao…. ( How creative his thought is….)
We take a round trip from Pudong to Shiliupu,. He is still in a excited mood….with horn of the ship , we are slowly approaching the buildings across opposite to us.( What a beautiful view under the sunshine )….
“ next time I will bring you here again at night , all the lights are on~ like the castle in the fairy tale”, ( oh when do I become so girly and naïve…
Le Yang is pleased to put up the little finger, “ realy?? Deal!!~~” I am surprised by his actions…kidding me.. how can a 180cm man pull the hook stuff in public??
Probably understanding my embarrassment, Le Yang take his hand back, continuing to see the landscape. “ Dude, you know, my mum misses shanghai so much, She often mentioned here. When grandparents are not around , she ften chat with me in shanghainese…”
I nod , understanding the educated youths( referring to his mum’s generation) are alike. even if live in other places, shanghai is still in their dreams . “actually, paternal aunt she may also come back, grandfather should have this ability now, moreover that matter has gone away for a long time. Anyhow , we are still a family”
Le yang shakes his head, smiles a little bitterly and astringently, “ my mun has a lot to burden with,” at that time , le yang makes me feel time goes so fast..i suddently pull his little finger to hook despite that embarrassment, “ next time, I promise I will show you around shanghai and with your mum!!”
He is kinda shocked by my action, smiling again with those two big eyes. Giving me a big nod…..(the sunlight is really beautiful)…
