Lei Fuhu paced back and forth in the office like a trapped animal, and finally walked to the window. He held the window edge with his hands and took a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions. The scenery outside the window was extremely solemn. The rows of thick metasequoia trees had become dry and naked in the late autumn wind, and the ground was covered with dense dead leaves. In fact, Lei Fuhu had already witnessed the ten years of decline and prosperity of the drainage fir tree from the same window. This window belonging to the office of the director of the County Health Bureau gave him a unique perspective. In the past, when he stood in front of the window, he didn't seem to care about the withered trees. The thought that arose spontaneously was that he would stand permanently in his own one-third of an acre of land like those tall and tall trees. But Lei Fuhu felt a little depressed today. He thought that when these trees turn green again, it might be another person standing in front of the window looking at the scenery.

Whenever I think of Yao Ye, I can always think of Ruozhu from western Hubei. Western Hubei Ruozhu, also known as Ruozhu, is a unique species in western Hubei. It grows on the top of mountains with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. It is not adapted to the climate and soil in warm places, and it cannot be seen in low mountains and mid-mountains. However, this stubborn Ruozhu from western Hubei is very ordinary. Looking at a single plant, their height is generally only about 30 to 90 centimeters, and none exceeds 100 centimeters. Words like "tall and straight" have nothing to do with it. Short, ordinary, good for nothing. Because their diameter is only about two to four millimeters, the cavity is less than one millimeter, the bamboo joints are only about seven to nine joints, and the length of the bamboo joints is only four to twelve centimeters, how can such bamboo be considered bamboo?

"My Xiaolian, except that she doesn't like to talk, she doesn't have any other problems." Xiaolian's mother would say this every time she talked to others about her daughter. When he said this, his tone seemed to be a little regretful, and at the end, he sighed slightly, softly, like fine fluff falling down. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice it. The listeners picked up another flavor. This sentence was actually a disguised form of boasting about the daughter. The daughter had no other problems, she just didn't like to talk. The daughter's family didn't like to talk. From another perspective, she was a good scholar. Others conscientiously comforted Little Lian's mother, "If you don't like to talk, you don't like to talk.

It had been cloudy for several days, and people in the city seemed to have forgotten the clear sky. The first month of 1939 looked gray, like a frowning and resentful woman. Under the overcast sky, among the brown houses, occasionally smoke from someone's stove rises from behind the bare tree trunks. The smoke dissipated, and a sun flag on the spire of the battlement on the city wall stood out. There are only a few pedestrians on the bluestone street lined with shops, but the front doors of each shop look very lively. A painter stood on a temporary shelf, holding four or five paintbrushes between his fingers and skillfully tracing the pattern of "Wealth never stops" on the eaves of a shop. Under him, there were people painting door panels, hanging lanterns, and cleaning the streets. There was an energy in the market that was full of things to do.

Li Caisheng grinned and said, "This woman has a big butt. She sits on the kang every day. Her butt is even bigger. It takes up half of the kang. I heard that it is white and big."
