Meaning:

The eaves of the thatched cottage are low and small, and the stream is covered with green grass. The drunken Wuchang dialect sounds gentle and beautiful. Whose family does that old man with white hair belong to? The eldest son is hoeing beans to the east of the creek, while the second son is busy weaving chicken coops. The most beloved one is the scoundrel's young son, who is lying in the grass at the head of the stream, peeling off the newly picked lotus pods.
