【原】美好時光總是太短暫

1.昨天晚飯吃的比較早，所以回桃園的時間也比較早。我老早的就在桃園小屋門口的小床上支起蚊帳，然后鉆進去，一邊聽著小說，一邊慢慢入睡了。還別說，在這樣的天氣里，睡在外面吹著自然風，還真是挺舒服的。大概是快8點時入睡的，這一覺睡到了快10點。隨后我就收拾上鋪蓋和蚊帳，鉆回小屋繼續入睡了。或許是因為睡得太早了，結果睡到快一點時沒瞌睡了。后來也是手欠，順手拿起手機開始追小說了，這一下子就更睡不著了，一直追到3點多終于來了瞌睡，才又重新入睡。還好這次一覺睡到5:30的鬧鐘響起，之后也并沒感覺太困。

2. 起床后，先給雞鴨鵝們弄完飼料，我就趕緊做了一套八段錦。不然我怕又像昨天那樣，推遲著推遲著，最后就忘了，甚至說根本就不想做了。早上涼快的這會兒時光還真是特別金貴的，所以我趕緊就去桃園那邊繼續修剪桃樹了。等忙完一壟桃樹的精細修剪之后，已經7點多了，天氣也果真熱了起來。于是我干脆收拾起工具，隨后簡單洗漱一下，順便把手套和毛巾給清洗一遍，就回了家。

3. 回到家吃完飯，就又可以心安理得的開始納涼，追小說的躺平生活了。

4. 中午我用老爸買回來的白菜炒了個白菜絲配瘦肉絲，那味道還挺不賴的。

5. 中午的氣溫又有點熱，還好在門口那池塘邊的樹林里掛上吊床，吹著自然風，勉強還能睡得著。

還得是這種納涼追小說的日子過得快。就像下午給我的感覺就是幾乎在那門樓里乘著涼，吹著自然風還沒追多大一會兒小說天就快黑了……

英文版：

1. I had dinner quite early last night, so I got back to Taoyuan (the Peach Orchard) earlier too. I set up a mosquito net over the small bed at the entrance of the Taoyuan cabin early on, then got in. While listening to an audiobook, I gradually fell asleep. I have to say, sleeping outside with the natural breeze in this kind of weather is really comfortable. I probably fell asleep around 8 o'clock and slept until nearly 10. After that, I packed up the bedding and mosquito net, went back into the cabin, and continued sleeping. Maybe it was because I fell asleep too early—I woke up around 1 a.m. and couldn’t sleep anymore. Then, out of sheer habit, I picked up my phone and started reading my novel. That made it even harder to fall asleep; I kept reading until after 3 a.m., and only then did I finally feel sleepy and go back to sleep. Luckily, I slept straight through until my alarm went off at 5:30, and I didn’t feel too tired afterward.

2. After getting up, I first fed the chickens, ducks, and geese. Then I quickly did a set of Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade). Otherwise, I was afraid I’d put it off like I did yesterday—procrastinating until I forgot all about it, or even ended up not wanting to do it at all. The cool time in the morning is really precious, so I hurried to Taoyuan to continue pruning the peach trees. By the time I finished carefully pruning one row of peach trees, it was already past 7 o'clock, and the weather had indeed turned hot. So I simply packed up my tools, then did a quick wash-up. I also took the chance to clean my gloves and towel before heading home.

3. Once I got home and had dinner, I could comfortably settle down to relax, read my novel, and just "lie flat" (take it easy).

4. At noon, I used the Chinese cabbage my dad bought to make stir-fried shredded cabbage with lean pork shreds. It tasted pretty good.

5. The noon temperature was a bit hot again, but luckily, I hung a hammock in the woods by the pond at the door. With the natural breeze blowing, I could barely fall asleep. Days spent relaxing and reading novels really fly by. For example, this afternoon, it felt like I had just been sitting in the gateway, enjoying the cool breeze and reading my novel for a little while when it was already almost dark…
