1. There are many yellow chrysanthemum bushes, and it takes time to cultivate. Yiyi five towel gourds lead the vines out of the wall. I think of new flowers today, and they will bear fruit in the long autumn. The flowers are not in season, and the irrigation is still intensive. Don't let the roots get hurt, and abandon the other thorns.

2. There are piles of weak vines of luffa in Maoshe, and the bulbuls and ducks still come back. When I opened the curtain, I regretted the lack of poetry, and the wild fragrance came to me in the wind.

3. The sound of the spring coming into the lonely fenced-in house makes you feel clear even if you don’t see the mountains. After a few days of rain and clear autumn grass grew, and loofahs grew along the tile walls.

4. Carob goes through the fence stone, and loofah goes around the rafters of the house. The tender leeks are picked out by picking the borders, and the green leaves are fresh in the spring rain.

8. The blossoming yellow flowers are so pretty, but the bee’s love for the pistil turns into a madness. Ivy clings to Xun Yang Ze, how can I not do it without pricking silk soft.

9. The yellow flowers stand upright in the sunshine, and the long stems stretch out in search of love. The dancing bees and butterflies make people intoxicated, and their sex is joyful and graceful, so don’t be surprised or suspicious.
