Etsuko is still young after all, still a child. It's normal to like to play. What girl doesn't like play-house toys? Xuezi also took her sister's words at ease and remembered to buy them for her.
Tanizaki Junichiro is good
Very emotional, already moved me a little bit
beautiful story
I don't know what Yukiko and Taeko's life will be like after they get married. The story is over. It's a pity that I couldn't finish reading this book earlier, and now I have no one around me to talk to about my feelings.
In fact, you should get married when you are old enough. After all, you are not too young to be in your thirties. It is also possible to start a family and start a business. Sachiko and Yukiko, don't be too picky.
You still need to be careful when you are sick. You can't just call it beriberi. Sachiko's treatment may be a bit too casual. How can vitamin B be injected just like injection?
Very good book
