The sound of the chain turning and hissing was obviously caused by enough engine oil. It must be riding light and fast, like a person with a voice that has just drunk honey, more like the sewing machine under her feet. This sewing machine has just been repaired by Master Jin, who repairs zippers on the street. It has been fully lubricated and is light and fast. Master Jin can not only repair zippers, but also motorcycles and cars. The entire neighborhood will go to him whenever something breaks at home. Looking at him, he looks like he can repair airplanes. The tricycle stopped, with a click, the stand was raised, and the chain was locked with a hiss.

She was going to ask you where you were last night and why you came back so late? As a result, something came out of his mouth: Were you with your mistress yesterday? He led his daughter down the stairs. The stairs are a bit narrow and made of stainless steel. When the treads are not dry, they are a little slippery. I didn't think so much about it when I renovated the duplex building. When I was a child, my daughter slipped and fell on the stairs several times, and she developed a memory. As long as her father is at home, she must hold his hand when going downstairs. Now that my daughter is fifteen years old and a freshman in high school, she still wants him to lead her. Every time he held her, he would think that if his daughter wanted him to hold her for the rest of her life, he would be willing to do so. He and Chenchen were silent, which was commonplace.

My name is Xiazi. There are many people named Xiazi in our place. This title comes from my mother. I live in Jianghan Plain, which is rich in shrimps. In spring and summer, as long as you go fishing in big ditches and small rivers, you will find a basket full of shrimps. They are so cheap, only a few cents per catty. Once the shrimps stop jumping, they will give them to the dealers for nothing. The dealers then sell it at a low price to restaurants or delicatessens. They braise it with hot pepper, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, etc., Sprinkle some perilla or chives on it, and it is red, fragrant and green. It is placed in a glass cabinet and sold as popular stuffed prawns. My mother was a hawker. She would carry a basket early in the morning and go to the riverside to buy some small fish and shrimps from fishermen. Then she would take the basket to the town, take the No. 9 Bus, and go to the vegetable market in the city to sell it.
