At about 6:30 in the afternoon, it was dinner time. Lin’s mother held Father Lin’s hand and came out of the airport exit. Lin Xiaojuan was as happy and excited as a child. She ran over and hugged her parents with joy. I stood beside her a little at a loss.

Lin Xiaojuan looks like her father, and her figure is like her mother.

Father Lin is slightly taller than Lin Xiaojuan, and mother Lin is slightly shorter than Lin Xiaojuan, but she also looks taller than me.

The three members of the family are all good-looking.

Lin Xiaojuan happily ran over again and pulled me over. I bowed a little nervously and shouted, "Hello, Uncle, Hello, Auntie."

The two adults did not treat me badly because I was born in a rural area and was not tall enough, as shown in the TV series. Instead, Father Lin took the initiative to extend his big hand to shake my hand, and Mother Lin also greeted me with a smile.

.

I felt very warm. I held Father Lin’s hand and was so excited that I could only giggle.

We took a taxi back.

Lin Xiaojuan kept introducing it to her parents along the way, like a senior tour guide.

Lin Xiaojuan repeatedly mentioned Zhuzilin, where she works, and Baishizhou, where she lives. Seeing her daughter jumping for joy, Lin's father also became active.

Father Lin said that some of my comrades used to work in infrastructure construction in Shenzhen, and the place called Bamboo Forest was not called Bamboo Forest before.

So Father Lin explained the origin of the bamboo forest.

It is said that in the autumn of 1982, the State Council and the Central Military Commission dispatched 20,000 Chinese People's Liberation Army infrastructure engineering troops to Shenzhen to carry out infrastructure construction tasks.

At that time, the area around the current bamboo forest was actually a sloping ridge called Huangniulong, which was uninhabited.

The infrastructure engineers who came to build the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone used this place as a temporary base.

At that time, Huangniulong was just a small hillside with large tracts of wild bamboo growing on it. The infrastructure engineering soldiers used local materials. Bamboo became their "building materials": bamboo poles were made into beams and columns, bamboo poles were used as wall coverings, and linoleum was added with bamboo leaves.

It's the roof. They used bamboo to build rows of bamboo sheds as their homes.

It is said that life in the bamboo shed was very difficult, and rats and snakes often came into the bamboo shed. At that time, there was a very famous hotel in Shenzhen called "Zhuyuan Hotel". Although there were many mosquitoes, snakes and rats, the infrastructure engineering soldiers who liked to have fun in the misery could refer to "

"Bamboo Garden Hotel" gave the new home a poetic name - "Bamboo Leaf Hotel".

Whenever the infrastructure engineering soldiers go out to do errands and take a bus back to the station, they will point to the bamboo forest in the distance to the driver and say, "I am under the bamboo forest." With so many infrastructure engineering soldiers and their families, they pass the news to ten, and then to ten.

Hundreds of years ago, the name Bamboo Forest became popular. Later, with the rapid development of Shenzhen, this place name spread orally became the official place name of this area.

On the contrary, not many people know its real name of Huangniulong, and the bamboo forest has long since disappeared. Only the place name "Bamboo Forest" and the stories about it will continue to exist. This place name will always remind us that while enjoying a good life,

At the same time, we must not forget the hard work of the original pioneers and builders.

After telling this story, Father Lin looked at me who was listening carefully and said, Xiaogou, we all understand your situation. Now we advocate free love. Since Xiaojuan approves of you, I want to tell you that this marriage is the best.

This state is for the rest of my life. I understand your hard work of going out early and coming back late. You know my hard work of eating three trivial meals and taking care of the baby, you know?

I said I know, uncle.

I thought to myself, Lin Xiaojuan’s father is such a kind person. He jumped directly to marriage after telling the story of the bamboo forest. All my worries and fears were gone. No wonder Lin Xiaojuan has such a good personality.

Father Lin went on to say, just knowing is not enough. We have to talk a lot these days. The reason why I talked about marriage at the beginning is because I was young when I was young, and those tricky father-in-laws and mothers-in-law on TV did not exist.

I hope Xiaojuan will live well, and I will definitely support her. You have to buy a house in Shenzhen. If you have a house, you can have a family. If you don't have a house, I won't worry about marrying my daughter to you.

I was secretly happy, did you accept it?
