91 Flowers, and bazaars, and stones of other mountains
In recent years, every community in Pudong has been carrying out garden construction work, and now the central garden is already a place of flowers, which seems to be an exaggeration, near the evening, spraying snowflakes, red maples, European wood hydrangeas......
When I was bored, I counted it, there are more than 20 kinds of quality, the area of this flower bed is less than 100 square meters, in addition to the usual common evergreen iris, beautiful cherry, willow leaf verbena, echinacea, etc., there are more red lips, fruit orchid, umbrella grass, new elephant sage, gold-leaf calamus, peony, platinum chrysanthemum, alum root, geranium, snapdragon, begonia and so on.
The purple and red, the pen is light, complicated but not noisy.
The sunset is slanting, like a big salted egg yolk, and the red oil flows in half the sky, fragrant summer dusk.
There are not many books left in the booth, and Douzi still asks everyone to scan the code to join the group as usual, this time he also posted some videos in the group, I was not very happy at first, and then I didn't think there was anything excessive.
Douzi was far more attentive than I thought, and he said that this is the No. 2 bookstore group, which is specially for readers who participate in the charity market, and will not mix with the university group.
"Actually, it's nothing." I shook the plastic round fan printed with "Scholarly Pudong, Reading into the Community", and checked the books sold today, and there were more than 30 of the more than 100 copies left, and today's business was better than I imagined.
It seems that what kind of books to bring to the stall really requires a set of scientific methods.
Mr. Gao Shan came to the bookstall at four o'clock, stuffed me with a few books, said that he was in no hurry to give money to take a photo, and left in a hurry, as if the examiner in the examination room came to see me and Douzi, and thought it was good, so he reminded us, "Don't forget the charity market in Kerry City next week." β
"Okay, okay." I happily agreed, Mr. Takayama smiled heartily, smiled, the corners of his mouth twitched, the stall owner selling jelly and biscuits next door couldn't help but take a few more looks, Mr. Takayama picked up his bag and turned around to look at the calligraphy and painting stall.
The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall seemed to have a good conversation with Mr. Takayama, and Douzi said, "Mr. Takayama is a very good chatter. β
"He's a very enthusiastic person, too." I say.
Grandma brought us freshly squeezed watermelon juice, and after drinking the beans, she picked up her mobile phone and took a video.
"I didn't change my costume, so don't make a video."
Douzi smiled and said, "It's not as good as shooting Lixia, it's about bookstalls and markets." β
Beans really think about bookstores more than I do.
In the end, more than thirty of the 150 books brought to the garden were left and they were returned home for dinner.
After dinner, I ate watermelon while watching the group chat.
The group was much more lively than I expected, and everyone's topics were more concentrated.
"Are they all buying books at bookstalls? So we're all neighbors. β
"Is this bookstall an event at the Shanghai Book Fair?"
"No, it's the market in our community, there have been books sold before, but not as many as this time, my son bought three books, and when he came back, he held them and read them, I was also strange, I didn't usually see him take the initiative to read books."
"How old are your children? What books do you read? I also want to develop a reading habit or something, but I don't even want to read the books I chose for him, it's the third grade. β
"The third grade is still young, but today's young lady seems to be very likable to children, and my daughter said that the books introduced by my sister are really good."
"What book?"
"The Cat Who Taught Seagulls to Fly", it seems to be this weird name, I have never heard of this book, I checked it just now, and it turned out to be written by a very powerful writer."
"Is it pretty?"
"It's good-looking."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's a fairy tale."
"Fairy tale...... I don't have a very good impression of fairy tales, which were used to scare children in the earliest days. β
Burst! That's true...... I laughed out loud when I saw this.
My mother sat down next to me and smiled and asked, "What are you so happy about?" The mosquitoes on my body are all bags, and I am still in such a good mood? β
"Ah, yes, watermelon is sweet."
"It was sent by your uncle, and he sent a box of watermelons."
"Huh? Uncle? Coming back from a business trip to Australia? β
I didn't say which uncle...... "Mom took a piece of watermelon from my plate and ate it in three or two bites."
Ningxia seedless watermelon is really sweet, the disadvantage is that it is too sweet...... It's not right to eat.
"But, it's true, I'm back, I'm going to eat next week, what do you want to eat?"
Dine? For some reason, I don't seem to like family dinners very much, but my grandparents do, and my mother said that my grandmother likes to get together as a family, so as long as she is around, she will get together on big and small festivals throughout the year.
"Okay, I want to eat Dongpo meat."
"Dongpo meat?"
"Well, there is one less Dongpo meat in my food map, and after researching for a long time, I didn't find which store in Pudong has the best Dongpo meat, otherwise my mother will make it for me."
"Dongpo meat is not difficult to make, your grandfather also likes to eat it, but I dislike sweet and oily, and it is not good for the elderly to eat more."
"Grandpa still likes braised pork trotters, you can eat it if you can, just eat less, and diabetes is really not caused by eating too much sugar."
Again, I tried in vain to educate my mom about science.
However, Dongpo meat can be regarded as a successful order, and I am even looking forward to the next dinner.
My mother ran to the kitchen with the watermelon she had eaten, and I sat on the couch and picked up the books on the small coffee table.
As soon as I turned the page, my phone rang.
If the mobile phone really affects the efficiency of reading, it is better to turn off the phone or turn it to the lonely silent mode, so as to at least ensure that you will not be interrupted by the sudden intrusion message.
"Soda in Mayday joined the group chat."
is a message that a new member has joined.
It's a little strange, if there are new members in the group, there will be a special message prompt?
I checked the message notification again,It turns out that it has nothing to do with this message,The prompt sound just now came from WeChat reading,The reminder I set on the shelves was sent to remind,"The "Stone of Other Mountains" you subscribed to has been put on the shelvesγ β
"The Stones of Other Mountains" is a self-selected collection of Uwen Suo'an, which includes many never-before-published articles.
Yuwen Suo'an is an American, a well-known sinologist, and a professor at Harvard University, whose works include Poetry of the Early Tang Dynasty, Poetry of the Tang Dynasty, Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics, Remembrance, The Lost Building, and English Translation of The Complete Works of Du Fu.
He is also a person who is sexually happy, smokes and drinks, and has a good heart for poetry. Jane does not hold the shape of the ceremony, and likes to be harmonious.
"The Stone of Other Mountains" is one of Yuwen Suo'an's most well-known works, and "Remembrance" and "Maze Lou" are also among the most well-known works.
There are so many "ones", which shows my preference for these works.
