Letter from Inkstone Lane

Shen Yan, a ghostwriter from Liuye Lane in Yuhang County, makes a living by writing letters for neighbors. With a ghostwriting table, an inkstone, and a low stool, from the summer solstice to New Year's Eve, she wrote 109 letters home for her illiterate neighbors. In more than two hundred days, Yanxiang gradually gathered from a deserted alley into a community of more than 20 people. Blacksmith Zhao Tiesheng found his long-lost sister Zheng. Qin Ya, who fled from famine, started learning to write the character "yan" and completed the reincarnation with the 235th word "yan". Twelve people on the cliff moved here after the flood and took root. He Ouhua made his home at both ends between Yanxiang and Shiyan. There are no big events. Stoves, wells, brooms, needles, threads, cloth, porridge, lamps - everyday objects have more weight than the plot. Finally, it falls back to the first day of the first lunar month after New Year's Eve: the alleys are there, the people are there, and the days go on. The ink in the inkstone is not dry yet, so I can still write tomorrow.
