改革意味着飞跃，开放预示着富强，沐浴着改革的春风，只不过短短的几十年时光，人们的生活水平发生了翻天覆地的变化。我的家乡也改变了往日的模样。
Reform means a leap forward, opening up heralds prosperity and strength, basking in the spring breeze of reform. In just a few decades, people's living standards have undergone earth shaking changes. My hometown has also changed its former appearance.
我的家乡是一个离县城较远的小村庄，听爸爸说以前的时候家乡的道路全部是土路，坑坑洼洼的很难走。晴天的时候尘土飞扬，弄的人一身土，雨天的时候泥泞不堪，弄的人一身泥。人们出行主要靠步行，在当年，拥有一辆自行车代步，已经成为许多人追求的目标。他到县城念书的时候就靠一辆破烂的自行车，路平的时候“人骑车”，路不好走的时候就变成“车骑人”了，不知道在泥坑中摔倒过多少次。那时的家乡，到处都是平房，而且大多数都是土胚屋，屋顶没有瓦。遇上下雨时，外面下大雨，屋里下小雨，轻则房屋漏水，严重的就会房屋倒塌。家乡的道路冷冷清清，没工厂，没商店，更不要说路灯了。为了买一块橡皮擦需要步行三四里路。人们那时穿的衣服都有补丁，以前有一句话说：新三年，旧三年，缝缝补补又三年。连穿的鞋子也是靠奶奶那双灵巧的手做出来的“千层底”布鞋，虽然不是什么品牌，单穿起来非常舒服。来自作文吧 zUOwENbA.net
My hometown is a small village far from the county town. I heard from my father that in the past, all the roads in my hometown were dirt roads, bumpy and difficult to walk. On sunny days, dust flies and makes people covered in dirt, while on rainy days, it becomes muddy and makes people covered in mud. People mainly rely on walking for transportation. In the past, owning a bicycle for commuting had become a goal pursued by many people. When he went to the county town to study, he relied on a broken bicycle. When the road was flat, he; People ride bicycles; When the road is not easy to walk on, it becomes; Riders and riders; I don't know how many times I've fallen in the mud pit. At that time, in my hometown, there were bungalows everywhere, and most of them were adobe houses with roofs without tiles. When it rains, heavy rain falls outside and light rain falls inside the house. Mild cases may result in water leakage, while severe cases may cause the house to collapse. The roads in my hometown are deserted, with no factories, no shops, let alone streetlights. It takes three or four miles to walk to buy an eraser. At that time, people wore clothes with patches. There used to be a saying: New three years, old three years, sewing and repairing again three years. The shoes I even wear were made by my grandmother's nimble hands; Thousand layer bottom; Cloth shoes, although not from any particular brand, are very comfortable to wear alone.
在改革开放的浪潮中，我的家乡也发生了翻天覆地的变化。从前低矮、破旧的老屋早已被新颖别致的小洋楼取代了。放眼望去，一栋栋一排排的小洋房整齐划一，听爸爸说这些都是政府统一规划建设的新农村安置房。随便你走进任意一个家庭，家中的电器一应俱全，电视机、电冰箱、空调、电脑等也得到了普及，不少人家还购买了小轿车呢！许多家庭接入了宽带，用互联网查询科学种田的资料和从事文化娱乐活动，给人们的生活带来了极大的方便和无穷的乐趣。当年泥泞的村道早已不见了踪影，宽阔的柏油公路纵横交错，四通八达。各种车辆在宽阔的马路上川流不息。道路两旁绿树成荫，干完农活的人们在树荫下悠闲地散步。村子中央的健身广场上有许多老奶奶穿着艳丽的服装跳起了欢快的广场舞。儿童乐园在彩灯喷泉的装扮下像童话中的仙境一般，到处充满着孩子们欢乐的笑声。商场、农贸市场的商品琳琅满目，应有尽有。以前只有在城市里才能见到的景象现在的家乡处处可见，真是一年一个新面貌，一年一个新气象啊！
In the wave of reform and opening up, my hometown has also undergone earth shaking changes. The low and dilapidated old houses of the past have long been replaced by novel and unique small western-style buildings. Looking around, rows of small western-style houses are neatly arranged. My dad said that these are all new rural resettlement houses planned and constructed by the government. You can walk into any home and find all kinds of electrical appliances, such as televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, etc., which have also become popular. Many people even buy small cars! Many families have access to broadband, use the Internet to query scientific farming information and engage in cultural and recreational activities, which has brought great convenience and endless fun to people's lives. The muddy village roads of that time have long disappeared, and the wide asphalt roads crisscross in all directions. Various vehicles are constantly flowing on the wide road. On both sides of the road, green trees provide shade, and people who have finished their farm work leisurely stroll under the shade of the trees. On the fitness square in the center of the village, many old ladies dressed in colorful clothes danced happily in the square. The children's playground, decorated with colorful fountains, is like a fairyland in a fairy tale, filled with the joyful laughter of children everywhere. Shopping malls and agricultural markets offer a wide variety of goods, with everything available. The scenery that used to only be seen in the city can now be seen everywhere in my hometown. It's really a new look and new atmosphere every year!
