我很小很小的时候,和太太(妈妈的奶奶)住在一起。那是北京一个普普通通的胡同里普普通通的一个院子——西什库7号院。近来市政府下达文件,要把西什库大街拆迁,把它扩建成马路,这意味着我们再也搬不回来了。老人们住了一辈子的地方,真是不舍得离开,可是也没有办法。爸爸、妈妈都停下手中的工作和太太一起商量搬家的事情,我也赶来捡拾我童年的回忆。 When I was an early child, I lived with my wife (my mother’s grandmother). It was a common courtyard in Beijing, a common yard of Xishiku. Recently, the municipal government issued a document to relocate Xishiku Street and expand it into a road, which means we can not move back anymore. The old people lived a lifetime, really not willing to leave, but there is no way. Mom and dad stopped their work and my wife talked about moving things together, and I came to pick up my childhood memories.
