Chapter 31 of the Year of Tranquility
(a)
Tuesday, October 6 is cloudy and the eighteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar
When I got up this morning, I memorized the words for half an hour after the exercise, and only memorized twenty or thirty words. Then put on his face, practice calligraphy, memorize poems, and go downstairs to eat. The sweet potato rice was already a little cold, so I sandwiched some of the cold dishes left over from last night: stir-fried pork with beans. My dad said that I was not afraid of diarrhea, and he also thought that I should eat less now, but I showed a strong appetite.
After eating, I went to the health center for an examination, the palace height was 33 (last time) - 34 (this time), the abdominal circumference was 98.5 (last time) - 102 (this time), fetal position l0A, fetal presentation: head, fetal heart sound: the condition is regular, the number of times is 145, blood pressure is 110/70, weight 63 kg (first time) - 65 kg (second time) - 67 kg (this time), 2 kg per week is 4 kg, and the weight growth is a little scary. Normally, it should be half a pound per week, and my mother said that the fetus is now the same every day. I want to be born smoothly, and I can't grow so fast. I heard that the caesarean section in the city hospital costs thousands of yuan, and it costs more money to suffer from the crime! I don't want a caesarean section, I want to have a natural birth!
In my mother's shop, a woman in her forties and fifties came to buy shoes with her daughter, who had agreed to have a caesarean section at the city hospital at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, nine days before the due date, and I had 12 days left. Her first child was born by caesarean section, and the second child she conceived was a daughter, and she also chose to have a caesarean section.
The daughter's mother, with her long smooth hair hanging down to her waist, was tall and plump, with fair skin, and if it weren't for the fact that the corners of her eyes were a little drooping, she would have looked really young. Walking with her daughter, like two sisters and not like mother and daughter. Her family runs a pharmacy, her daughter's family runs a wholesale of non-staple food, and the economic conditions are good, so her mother in her forties and fifties has the leisure to dress up and live a good life. She also said that on their high street to the south was a machine factory, and to the west there was a clinic, two facades, the door facing east, and in it was an old Chinese medicine doctor with a long beard, and the house was full of pennants. He will use Chinese medicine to treat the birth of boys and girls, which will cost about three or four hundred yuan. The woman also said that if I can give birth to this child, I can have another son in the future.
Today, I took my industrial and commercial card to my mother's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to withdraw 3,000 yuan, after giving birth to this child, I don't have much money in my hand, and I don't know how to spend it even if I earn 10,000 yuan in Beijing. I only ask Heavenly Father to bless me to give birth to this child.
If I want to live a good life, all I have to do now is eat less and move more. On the way back to the Dashan Road vegetable market, I bought tomatoes and prepared to drink egg and tomato soup every day. I love sweet potatoes, but eating more sweet potatoes will also make people gain weight, and flatulence, drinking soy milk will not lose weight, just drink tomato and egg soup. Wait until next week to do a B-ultrasound and see how much weight I gain, I have to do this. If I can't do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the pain of Shunsheng, so I'm going to keep a weight loss diary every day these days to welcome the arrival of my daughter.
Wednesday, October 7 is cloudy and the 19th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar
I read "Financial Accounting" in the morning, and I planned to read many pages today, but after reading a little, I encountered a problem that I couldn't understand, so I wanted to read the new edition of "Financial Accounting" at Xinhua Bookstore, so I put down the book and went to Xinhua Bookstore next to the park.
I browsed a lot of books in it, and finally saw the textbook "Financial Accounting" of the Higher Vocational College, and I felt that it was even shallower than what I learned back then, 20 yuan a copy, so I didn't want to buy it. I saw that I went to my mother's shop at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. I wanted to go home with my mother at night, and my dad made the sesame leaf mung bean noodles that my mother likes to eat tonight. But it rained, and we were full of persimmons, so we didn't go back.
One of the books I read today is probably "Women Can Get What They Want", the author is a well-known female editor-in-chief in the United States and a mother of 4 children. She is a qualified loving mother and a woman with a successful career. Because she loves children, she has more children. One of her children was almost critically ill, which made the couple deeply feel the value of children. Having more children did not delay the mother's work, and she began to take the child to work before the full moon. Her profession requires her to dress well and stylishly, and she appears in the workplace every day. She pays attention to physical exercise, and has insisted on getting up one hour early every morning to exercise for more than 10 years. When she had 4 children, she maintained her figure even better than when she was 20.
The busier a working woman, the better her appearance and figure she seems. Because they are full and in good spirits, they pay attention to their appearance and figure, so they will give people an elegant and noble image.
When I was working at a beauty salon in Qingqingyuan, Beijing, a tall, beautiful, fashionably dressed woman in her thirties and sixteens came to our shop once or twice a week to make a big flower. She's also busy at work and a mom of two, but she feels like a fashion woman who is in the modeling industry and hasn't married yet. She said she ran five or six places a day, and all I knew was that one of the shops she owned was a fur shop. I once heard her say to someone on the phone that women grow old quickly when they don't work, and that she has a full schedule every day.
Yoga is a very suitable exercise program for women, it can make people's body become very flexible, because it pays attention to regulating people's breathing, so after practicing it, people's minds will become very calm, and can relieve stress. Yoga can make a person younger because it has handstands and shoulder handstands, which can fight the sagging skin caused by gravity. I have read a lot of books on sports and health care, and Yoga is the most suitable exercise for women. If you can practice for decades, the flexibility of your body should be like Chen Ailian, a female dancer in her 70s in China, who can still dance on the stage at the age of 70 and play Zhu Yingtai. There is also a rope skipping exercise, which is also very suitable for women, not only to exercise the leg shape, but also to treat constipation, jumping for 6 minutes is equivalent to jogging for 20 minutes.
Taiwanese temperament beauty Da S, her facial features are not very delicate, and her body is not very sexy, but she has long black and straight hair like a waterfall. She loves her hair very much, even so perverted that even her boyfriend can't touch it, and only when she hangs all her hair on the sides of her face does she allow her boyfriend to put her arms on her shoulders and back, and this beautiful hair helps her become a temperament beauty.
In the past two days, I saw an article in a magazine that said that a girl was liked by a very handsome boy because the girl passed by, and her long flowing black hair attracted the boy's eyeballs. It seems that hair plays a very important role in a woman's beauty, but unfortunately I didn't realize the beauty of long hair when I was a child, and I haven't grown any long hair until now. Time is not forgiving, I should try the feeling of a shawl with long hair. The woman in her forties and fifties who I saw two days earlier was a grandmother and still had waist-length vertical hair, which made her look young and fashionable, but she always felt that it did not match her age. So I'm going to have long hair now, my hair is naturally dark, hard and abundant, it should be considered good hair, but I don't value it. If I also had waist-length hair that was black and straight, it would have added a lot of luster to my image. When I was in school in the provincial capital, there was a female classmate who was very short, but she had long black braids that reached her hips, and she looked small and exquisite, very gentle and cute. I don't think she'd have seen her if she had cut her hair short. I must keep waist-length hair for 10 years: 5 years of long black straight hair, 5 years of brown and yellow wavy hair, and live an addiction to long hair to make up for the shortcomings of this life.
Thursday, October 8th Cloudy and cold
Today is the cold dew in the 24 solar terms of the year, from this day on, the sky will become colder and colder, people can no longer show their arms and legs at will, otherwise they are susceptible to cold. I was still wearing cropped black breeches and sandals on my feet, and I felt cold on my body, and few people dressed like this on the street.
Friday, October 9 Cloudy
Last night, I went to Danny's supermarket with my mother, and it was the first time my mother came to visit after it had been open for so long. Originally, we were going home, but because it was raining heavily and we were full of persimmons, we decided not to go back. There were a lot of new books added to the shelves of the supermarket, and I decided to read them another day.
Around 10 a.m. this morning, I arrived at the bookshelf at Danny's and started browsing through books.
It seems that books such as "Habit Determines the Secret of Destiny" and "Perseverance Determines Success" attracted me. Habits determine character, and character determines fate. My fate is so bad, probably because I haven't cultivated good habits since I was a child, and I procrastinate, hesitate, and indulge in fantasies......
Perseverance is a necessary quality for success. My mother has insisted on doing a small business for decades, and now she has two stores, one large and one small, which has undertaken the food and drink of a large family, and has become the rice bowl of her relatives, and her aunt and sister have been working with her mother for many years. Not only do they work casually, but they also have a good harvest every month during droughts and floods.
Being able to stick to one thing for decades is not unsuccessful. And changing jobs frequently and trying nothing at all will make life a failure. What I lack is the spirit of perseverance, a relative of my family has done a lot of industries in his life, and he gave up after a long time, he has been in poverty and looked down on all his life, living in a low house, and now he has finally built a small two-story building, mainly thanks to his mother first lent them a part of the money before the engineering team was willing to build for them.
Some face projects must be done, and the house is a kind of face. Like my husband's house, because his parents did not pay attention to the house and home all their lives, I was ridiculed and bullied by my neighbors when I went to his house, and later borrowed a large part of my mother's money to build it.
I thought that there was an article "I Love Zhang Xiaohui" in the magazine I bought in the past two days. Zhang Xiaohui's husband Zhong Zhentao filed for bankruptcy due to the Asian financial crisis, and put the cause of bankruptcy on Zhang Xiaohui, saying that she is a red face, loves shopping, and lives a luxurious life. Zhang Xiaohui once said that she would rather not eat than wear beautiful clothes, and she pays great attention to face engineering.
I remember riding my father's big black bicycle when I first went to work, wearing the clothes of my school days, and being teased and bullied by snobbish colleagues. One of my best colleagues made fun of my low and dilapidated house (two red brick houses with a small courtyard), even though her family still rented a house. She's just dressed more fashionably than me. How snobbish people are in this world! Zhang Xiaohui chose to take on a debt of 250 million yuan and raise her children alone after her husband filed for bankruptcy. She is fighting a lawsuit while working 5 jobs at the same time. Opened a fashion store, sold cosmetics, acted, and wrote two columns. She is still dressed beautifully, and she is still radiant. This is an elegant, tasteful woman, and I should learn from her. Throughout the road, I often fell into a state of pain, I could not do a job for a long time, and I always resigned due to the conflict and anger of my colleagues, which made me often fall into passivity, and also made myself more desperate and inferior to myself.

Yesterday, I saw a financial management book in Xinhua Bookstore, and the title of the book seems to be "Rich Dad". The author wanted to start his own business and find a few part-time jobs, so he went to find a rich dad. The rich father suggested that he find a job first, first let himself have food and shelter, and then use his spare time to start a business, part-time work will not create a job. The author then took a job as a salesman, which he did not really enjoy, but which was very helpful in correcting his personality flaws. He was an introvert and a lover of words, but this job honed his abilities and he used his spare time to start his own business. Thinking about yourself, if you have a long-term job, it is right to solve the problem of survival first, and then work in your spare time.
When I work in a big shopping mall, I can do this for half a day, and then I have learned to do beauty salons, and I can go to beauty salons after work, and I will not be so passive now. When I opened the store, there was a period of time when the business was also very good, but I didn't know how to operate and couldn't manage money, and I lacked economic acumen.
Several barber shops near my mother's shop have been insisting for more than ten years, and the owners have changed from little girls to mothers of children, and their skills have become more and more sophisticated, and the children have taken care of them to school, and the family has taken care of them, opening such a shop is like opening such a shop in their own home. Water is very convenient, can keep the shop and yourself clean at any time, no wonder a barber lady said that haircuts raise people, the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine, sitting at home to earn money. Several barbershop proprietors in this alley are still glamorous, like unmarried little girls, and they all focus on persistence. The barber lady named Xiaoli is not only still young and beautiful, but also the children are getting older, and the couple also bought a set of 3 bedrooms and 1 living room with hundreds of thousands of yuan on Xiguan Road. People should not give up easily after choosing a career when they are young, stick to it as an intangible asset, and engage in other things on the basis of doing some results, so that they will be more and more energetic.
Yam barley porridge has the longest stomach qi and blood, and often eating it can make people ruddy and shiny hair. In their writings, the people of Zhongbari say that women's aging is from the aging of the stomach, so women should pay attention to the maintenance of the stomach and intestines, and they need to drink yam barley porridge often.
"Women in their twenties should manage their finances like this", one of which talks about a woman's hobby of writing, insisting on amateur writing, amateur writing has gradually become a part of her life, and her monthly remuneration is several thousand yuan, which has not only developed her hobby but also made money, and these words will accumulate into her career in the future.
I have loved literature and writing since I was a child, and I still studied Chinese language and literature, but I have been delaying it again and again, and I have not written anything until now. I always yearn for a distant place, and I always want to achieve something outside, which makes me feel at ease to stay in one place. If you can dedicate yourself to this, you will not be limited by the location and time, and you will always have some income every month. When you go out to work, you inevitably have to face all kinds of people, and your mind will fluctuate. If you insist on learning English, art, and literature when you are in school, after more than ten years, these specialties can make you avoid the world, and you can make money sitting at home, you can do translation, painting, and writing, not to mention that you can get pleasure in your soul, and you will also have a sense of psychological pride if you make money without going out. In fact, it only takes two or three years to learn a major, and it is not as difficult as imagined to do a good job, and what people are most afraid of is to have the determination to change.
Yesterday afternoon, I came back from Danny's supermarket at three or four o'clock and sat in my mother's store to read the one-dollar magazine I bought. There was an article about the fight between the leopard McCalline and the baboon Buddha, and it brought tears to my eyes. The leopard McColline was not well hidden, and her own child was killed by a herd of baboons, and she escaped by herself.
She seeks revenge. She found a female baboon and her newborn baby baboon. When McCalline pounced on the female baboon, the female baboon was not afraid, but fought against her. Eventually, McCaulyn hunted her. At this time, the group of baboons surrounded McLean, and McCollin took the little baboon as a hostage and carried him out of the encirclement.
The little baboon is the child of the leader of the baboons, and the little baboon eats McCalline's milk, and the first person he sees when he opens his eyes is McCalline the leopard, and he regards McCalline as his dear mother. When the group of baboons finds the little baboons, the little baboons grin at them with fear and resentment. Then Macaulay came back with wild things in her mouth. The group of baboons surrounded her, and the little baboon, seeing the danger of "mother", jumped down from the tree to protect "mother". The baboon leader was furious, and he killed the little baboon, destroying him if he couldn't get it. McCalline, who was alone, had already regarded the little baboon as her own child, and when she saw the child being killed, her eyes immediately turned red, and she rushed to the leader of the baboon herd without regard for her own enemies...... I cried, I hid in the back room with the magazine, and I was in a sad mood.
Saturday, October 10th Light rain
At 6 o'clock in the morning, my mother got up, and I was drowsy, so I said, "Mom, why don't you sleep a little longer and get up again at 7 o'clock, so that you can make up for the noon nap." "My mother also had dizziness.
My mother said: "I can't sleep, I get up at 6 o'clock for decades, go to bed at more than 10 o'clock, and persist for decades, until I am still like this." Besides, in the morning, cooking outside, sweeping the floor, running, all kinds of noises make people unable to sleep. ”
I didn't feel the sounds, I did the same when I was in school, but after school, it was almost time to go to work, so I hurriedly washed my face and went to work, and when I didn't go to work, I got up late.
Persistence, persistence, the most valuable quality of a mother is persistence and being able to endure hardships.
If you get up at 6 a.m. every day and do what you want, you won't be bored. Like the female editor-in-chief of 4 children, she insisted on getting up early every morning for an hour to exercise, not only maintaining a better figure, but also doing more things because of her good health. People should continue to exercise from an early age until they die of old age, and set aside an hour of exercise every morning to be beneficial for life.
I should learn from my mother, from the editor-in-chief of four children. Insist on getting up at 6:00 every morning, exercising, and applying to the face, which not only exercises the body, but also takes care of the skin. Insist on practicing calligraphy for half an hour every day, because calligraphy is also a skill, if you don't advance, you will retreat, not to mention that you are in a quiet mood and concentrate when writing. Calligraphy is a kind of spiritual enjoyment, not to mention that I have also taken correspondence courses in calligraphy and painting, so I can't give up halfway.
I really need to work hard in the second half of the year to get English, Introduction to Literature, and Accounting Certificates, because I don't need to read these books anymore, and I can find time to read literary works and write.
When I get up in the morning and wash my hair, I should wash my hair once every Friday at the latest (usually Wednesday and Friday), and when my hair is dirty, I will unconsciously buckle my scalp, which is not very beautiful. In fact, it is not troublesome to wash your hair, isn't it a day to wash your hair and blow your hair every day in Beijing Qingqingyuan Beauty Salon Shop? Aren't the girls and store managers in there too? After washing my hair, I feel light and refreshed. I didn't go home for the past two days, I didn't take a shower every day, and I felt so uncomfortable. As the saying goes, women are made of water, and women should wash them every day with clean water.
Breakfast was milk and eggs, sweet potato gnocchi, and steamed buns dipped in garlic juice, and I went home. When I got home, I quickly took a shower and washed my clothes, and it was already more than 1 o'clock when I was done. After applying the face, I applied eye cream and Yu Meijing children's cream, Yu Meijing a bag of one yuan, which is easy to use and fragrant. I applied it to my neck and body, and suddenly I felt a strong fragrance. If you insist on applying it like this for a year, will there be a faint fragrance on your body? Be sure to use eye cream for the eyes, and baby lotion for other areas. Yu Meijing is very good, economical, the collagen eye cream I bought earlier, 25 grams is only 11 yuan, and Ding Jiayi costs 39 yuan. If you have a monthly income of a few thousand yuan in the future, you will buy Ding Jiayi eye cream, or you will insist on selling a kind of cosmetics for a long time and use the money you earn to buy cosmetics of this brand.
Speaking of applying eye cream, I think of a beauty shop next to the school when I was in the provincial capital. At that time, I had acne on my face, and every time I looked in the mirror, I couldn't help but squeeze the pimple with my hands, squeezing out the white and thin things. When I saw the words "professional acne treatment" written on the billboard in front of the store, I went for a seven-day treatment. For seven days in a row, I would do it every day after class. The person who gave me skin care was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and there were only two people in this shop, the little girl and the proprietor. The proprietress is in her forties, with a slender figure and delicate facial features. On a cold day, he was still wearing a tight black leather jacket, a narrow black leather skirt underneath, and short broken hair, which looked shrewd and capable.
I sometimes see the husband of the proprietress come to bring them food, and the husband of the proprietress looks much older, like he is fifty or sixty years old. Once, he said to a female customer who was doing beauty treatment, "Ping often does beauty is different, her skin is so smooth and white, and there is no wrinkle at the corners of her eyes...... the female customer laughed embarrassedly.
The proprietress said: "Ah Ping started using eye cream when she was 10 years old, and she has been using it for more than 20 years, and it is different if she uses it early......
Ya turned her head to look at the female customer, and her skin was indeed fair and ruddy, without a trace of wrinkles. Since then, Ya has often bought eye cream, but she sometimes forgets to use it, and it should be a day when she doesn't work or go out.
A woman should be faintly fragrant, as clean as water, like my state in the past two days, it will never be again, and even I hate myself.
In the afternoon, when I wrote these words until two or three o'clock, I couldn't open my eyes, so I took a nap, and I slept until five or six o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening, I drank a bowl of sweet potato rice soup and ate some tofu.
When I woke up in the afternoon, I kept a diary and kept it until now. I wrote nearly 8 pages, which should be six or seven thousand words, and it would be nice to write a novel. He writes with rubber finger covers, and it is stained with black ink, because it is written in ink. I came up with such a solution because the tip of the pen was not running smoothly. It's not easy to buy a fountain pen with smooth ink and fluent writing, I bought a bunch of pens, and there are few that are fluent in ink. It's 23:45 when you look at your watch, wouldn't it be nice to write a novel like this, with no distractions and no distractions and concentrate on the table? You should be more attentive and efficient in writing on your own than in studying.
This diary has been recorded to 50 pages, and there are still 10 pages to be written, this is probably the thickest and most complete diary I have kept, looking at the previous diary, I can also read it quietly, very good.
What I have to do now is to seize the time to study before April next year, and study when I have time like Dong Yu, who has copied the poem "Dong Yu" with a brush in the newspaper.
Dong Yu
People learn from Dong Yu, and they are told with famous words. You must read it a hundred times, and its meaning will be self-revealed. People talk bitterly, and they are persuaded by "three more". In addition to years, days, and hours, he recited 300 articles.
Dong Yu: A native of the Han Dynasty, he was a tireless learner since he was a child, and he studied whenever he had time, so he could recite a lot of articles.
Hard training
The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the fire refines the real gold.
Without frost and bitterness, An Nengxiang hits people?
The edge is sharpened, and the jade is carved.
People don't practice hard, but they can be profound.
Like Dong Yu, study whenever you have time, all knowledge lies in memory. It's 12 o'clock in the evening, and I am scheduled to wake up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and go to bed.
