每逢[1]春节[2]，外地的游子[3]总是迫不及待地[4]踏上[5]返乡[6]的旅途[7]，但是武汉姑娘李君却遇到[8]了一个麻烦[9]。她好不容易[10]回到家乡，却发现已经不认得[11]回家的路了。

李君从2007年大学毕业后就一直在北京漂[12]着。漂了四、五年，一次家也没回过。不是囊[13]中没钱买票，就是公司活儿多，春节要加班，或者是怕带个男朋友回去会使父母逼婚[14]。

好不容易赶上2012年春节。她早早的就买好了回家的车票，也没通知家里人去车站接[15]她，想给父母一个惊喜[16]。可一下火车她就傻眼[17]了。早就在网上看到新闻说武汉市委书记阮成发有个外号[18]叫“满城挖”[19]，可还是没想到整个城市会完全变样，房子都拆了重新盖，公交站台也都变了，站在火车站半天不知道走哪条路才能 回家。

好不容易摸到了家[20]，可李君没想到[21]烦恼才刚刚开始。好几年没回家了，自然[22]少不了[23]与同学聚会[24]。可是，几个老同学们连约了几个聚会地点，李君都不知道在哪儿。同学笑话说，“你还是不是本地人[25]啊？”虽然知道同学们只是在开玩笑[26]，可李君还是郁闷[27]了一阵子[28]。

在和父母唠家常[29]的时候，李君还听说了一个令她震撼的事情。她家的房子要被拆了。武汉这几年正在大搞[30]基础设施[31]建设[32]， 其中[33]最大的一项[34]工程[35]就是修地铁[36]。从今年开始，地铁将[37]每年开通[38]一条，将[39]武汉三镇[40]通过江底隧道[41]连接起来，而李君家的房子正好就在地铁站设计图[42]的出口处[43]，最晚明年就要拆[44]了。

“有没有考虑[45]过趁拆房子这个时机[46]索性[47]将[48]家搬到北京呢？”记者曾[49]这么问过[50]李君。可李君却有自己的想法。武汉现在是三年小变样[51]，五年大变样。到处[52]都在盖大楼[53]、修马路[54]，三镇的商圈[55]也初具规模[56]了。李君说，以后这工作机会[57]肯定少不了[58]，她准备再在北京工作两年，就回来工作。到时候，她就再也不怕认不得路了！
