1. Interesting things in daily life

The most delicious ones are vegetable buns, shaomai, and dried vegetable buns. ...The dried vegetables are also chopped, and a little sugar and oil are added to moisten them just right. If you chew them carefully, you can chew them with a little olive-like aftertaste. It's not too much to eat a little of everything. If there is a dinner party, you can go there calmly. But it takes an experienced tea drinker to be so measured; occasionally locals and foreigners who go to the teahouse can't help but wolf down their food and walk out with their stomachs in their hands.

The third girl also gave birth in May. A month ago, Mrs. Qin had hired a tailor to start work at home, and the clothes for the baby's labor, including singles, quilted clothes, cotton clothes, leather clothes, shoes, hats, robes, and coats, all started from the time they landed. Starting from the size, until it reaches the size when it is ten years old, it is dazzling and splendid. It is also equipped with gold locks and gold rings.

·3. Chronicles of the Years

Spring begins on the first day of the Spring Festival this year, which is "the turn of spring". This is very rare. As the saying goes: "It's only once in a thousand years that the Longhua Meeting happens, and it's rare in ten thousand years that it's the turn of spring." Of course it's not necessary in ten thousand years. , but always rare. I am 72 years old this year, and it seems like I am catching up for the first time. The turn of the year is very auspicious, and the weather will be smooth this year, which is good luck.

New Year's Eve · 4. Entertainment and collecting treasures

Two miles east of Guangling City, there is Meizhuang, the business of Mr. Jingzhai . Mr. Xiang was fond of plum blossoms, and his family planted many of them. He also built a villa in the suburbs with dozens of acres of old plum trees. It was called "Plum Blossom Village" to reflect his hobby. The ancient plum blossoms were more than a hundred years old, followed by seventy or eighty years, and then twenty or thirty years ago. The most intimate relationship between Mr. and plum blossoms is to cultivate them if they flutter; to support them if they are lying down; to make up for any deficiencies; to peel them off; to pull out their roots, build soil to cultivate them; to support them with distant branches and beams. The plum blossoms also work hard to rejoice in themselves, towering and luxuriant, to comfort their masters. ...or come with guests to broaden their horizons. Songs and poems were exchanged, chapters overlapped, and wine glasses were drunk.
