我父亲是宝应人,他是在上个世纪60年代初来南京求学的,之前一直生活在宝应。谈到宝应,他似乎总有着说不完的话题。前些年的某个春节,父亲家里来了几位宝应的亲戚,其是有一位在氾水工作。由于正值春节期间,父亲邀我们全家去作陪,于是从聊天中知道了氾水这么个地方。听说当地有个说法,叫“金氾水、银宝应”。一个集镇,竟然“叫板”县城,应该是有点“特别”的。怀着好奇,笔者随先生去了趟宝应,也去了氾水,算是代老父亲“回访”。 My father, Baoying, was from Nanjing in the early 1960s and has lived in Baoying ever since. When it comes to Baoying, he always seems to have an endless conversation. Some Spring Festival a few years ago, my father came home a few Baoying relatives, one of whom is working in the pan. Because during the Spring Festival, my father invited us to go to the family to accompany, so from the chat that flooding such a place. I heard there is a local saying, called “Pan-water, silver should ”. A market town, even “challenge ” county, should be a bit “special ”. With curiosity, I went to the trip with Mr. Bao Ying, also went to panic, be regarded as the old father “return visit ”.
