Diary

Today was a scorching sunny day, and I’m exhausted. The loquat tree next to the livestock pen at home had its bark completely gnawed off by the cow that was tied to it. Though the tree bore many loquats, the leaves had almost entirely withered, making it impossible for the fruit to ripen. This morning, I asked my parents to help me cut down the loquat tree. With little experience in tree-cutting, we encountered several dangerous moments during the process. One commendable thing was that my dad had the foresight to tie a rope around himself and the tree for safety. After much chaotic discussion, fumbling, and a few risky moments, we successfully felled the loquat tree. ...

I hadn’t even woken up yet when my mom anxiously called me in the morning. I quickly contacted the driver and booked a ride for 8:40. After arriving at Pingdi, I hurriedly got out of the car and ended up dropping my luggage. We went to the restaurant where Zhang Jing’s wedding was held, and my mom handed me 200 yuan to give as a gift. I really dislike these kinds of things, but I couldn’t be bothered to argue. After the meal, I just walked over and handed the money over. ...

Woke up in the middle of the night suddenly wanting to listen to this song. In the morning, after waiting for Huanhuan to wake up, I asked Xiao Ai to have Jeff Chang sing it for us. Two people shining together, their radiance outshines the stars of the night. Every separation always brings a tinge of reluctance, but today’s emotions felt particularly strong. We went to a place called Panxian Flavor for breakfast, having sticky rice, mushroom meatball noodles, and meat pies. Afterward, she went to attend a team-building event organized by the city branch, while I picked up a package and wandered around. ...

Huanhuan had a speech competition at the municipal branch today, so she practiced several times last night. Earlier, she mentioned she wanted to eat crayfish. In the morning, while she went to the competition, I went to Jiahui Supermarket and bought 3.6 jin (approx. 1.8 kg) of crayfish. On the way back, I saw an uncle selling local strawberries and bought some as well. I’ve never cooked crayfish completely on my own before, but it didn’t seem too difficult. However, handling the crayfish was a bit troublesome. When I bought them, I specifically picked live ones, but processing them felt somewhat cruel. ...

Recently, I haven’t been in a good state, and I couldn’t even pinpoint what was wrong, let alone identify the specific issues. All I knew was that, on the surface, I seemed to be studying, eating well, and sleeping properly every day. Yet, nothing was truly done well, and each day passed by in a daze, slipping away far too quickly. It wasn’t until today, when I watched Jay Chou’s summary on learning, that I reflected on myself and finally understood where the problem lay. ...

This morning, both my mom and my brother called to invite me over for a meal, but I didn’t feel like going. My brother also asked me about signing up for the Guizhou Talent Expo and talked a lot about it—ugh. I cooked a bowl of noodles in the morning, and before I knew it, it was already noon. Lately, my phone has been lagging a lot, probably due to aging components. I thought resetting it might not solve much, so I started considering getting a new one. I should have taken a proper nap at noon, but instead, I spent time browsing and comparing prices on different platforms, which left me poorly rested. ...

10:45 Completed the integration of Volcano Engine’s API The money I topped up in DeepSeek always gets used up suddenly—not sure if it’s due to an API leak or issues with the calls. Switched to the API provided by Volcano Engine instead; it’s also cheaper. 10:52 Optimized the QuickAdd action for adding records Now it can all be done in a single input box. Even with longer text, there’s no need to open the diary again to continue adding more. ...
