周三吃夸父炸串~


端午香包~

昨天看@carolin77美女的帖子，原来艾草门挂也可以在网上买，第一个想到的竟然是拼多多，不过由于手机在女儿那里，本来打算换一下手机，下单后再换回来，突然一下我开窍了，难道我自己手机上的淘宝就不能直接下单吗？于是一搜，第一个链接四块多钱十条，想着似乎也不贵嘛，就直接下单了，如果要单数的话，那就门口挂5条，靠近窗户的门再挂5条吧！我还是挺喜欢5这个数字的，一个巴掌的方寸之间，却似乎可以掌控全局，当然女人的全局和男人的全局是完全不一样的，或者我指的是正在被我的五指敲击的键盘。

感觉自己似乎学习到了过端午节的新技能，在此感谢这位在魔都，素未谋面的美女，我想如果不是蜂巢，我们不会有这样的缘分，能够有太多的机会，了解彼此的生活。印象中这位美女说话声音也是很好听的，厨艺很好，长得也很漂亮，卧虎藏龙的蜂巢呀，让人无限感慨！在别人的生活里，发现自己也有很大的成长空间，发现差距，然后更好的去改善自己的生活。对于一个中年人而言，成长的空间并不比小孩子小，有时候甚至更大，就像一个圆，直径越大，圆周越大，接触到的未知的世界就越大，未知让探索的边界更广。

本来最近几天也有带女儿出去玩的打算，最初从香山回来的几天，天气不好，加上我小腿走麻了，非常酸痛，但是女儿的小腿似乎没什么事，不知道这是为啥，小孩子的新陈代谢快，然后乳酸都被代谢了的原因吗？等我小腿彻底不疼了，天气又热了起来，太阳突然变成了暴君，但现在比起夏天最热的时候，那还是要好很多的。说起来小腿能够好得快一些，还是因为突发奇想的用椰子油做了下按摩，没想到按摩完第一天就感觉快好了，按摩的过程，自然是酸爽的，第二天继续按摩了下，抻了抻腿，感觉彻底恢复成正常腿了。

就近带女儿到她之前读过书的幼儿园附近去玩，那边有个公园，我的计划是到时候找个阴凉的座椅，我就坐在那里，然后让女儿继续练习跳绳。当然计划经常非常完美，但是女儿并不按照套路出牌。她是个玩什么都想拉上我一起的娃，所以她练习了一下跳绳之后，就去玩公园里的各种体育设备，一会让我帮她爬上去，一会让我给她拍照，我感觉我这个小跟班，比她还要忙呢。她本来要去玩一下小时候经常会玩的那个滑滑梯的，但是一摸，太烫了，她说能把她的猫腚烤熟，于是作罢，晚上回来跟我说明天要下午五点再去玩。

这个小孩这点还是挺好的，虽然偶有吃了“大亏”的经历，但是会长记性。比如外出的时候知道要穿长裤，避免被蚊虫叮咬到自己的腿脚，上次去香山虽然穿得汉服，但是里面还穿着长裤呢，拍照的时候我拉了下裙摆所以没看出来，跟她说穿长裤影响美观，但是她怎么都不听，不被咬才是大事呢！之前去南京我姐那里的时候，姐姐给她带了菠萝，她也不敢多吃，说会麻嘴，最初劝她别多吃，她还不听，后面她自己遭受了嘴麻了的痛苦，就自动学会了该怎么对待吃菠萝这件事了，这大概也是小孩子成长的一个过程。

English translation by AI for someone who is interested in my post but from other countries:

Yesterday, I saw @carolin77's post, and I learned that mugwort door hangings can be bought online. The first thing that came to mind was Pinduoduo, but since my phone was with my daughter, I was planning to swap phones, place the order, and then return it. Suddenly, I had an epiphany—why not just place the order directly on Taobao from my own phone? So, I searched and found the first link: ten pieces for a little over four yuan. It didn't seem too expensive, so I placed the order right away. If I need an odd number, I thought I could hang five on the front door and five near the window. I’ve always liked the number 5. In the small space of one palm, it seems like I can control everything. Of course, a woman’s idea of “everything” and a man’s idea are completely different, or maybe I mean the keyboard being typed by my five fingers.

I feel like I’ve learned a new skill for celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, and I want to thank this beautiful lady from Shanghai, whom I’ve never met in person. I think if it weren’t for the Hive, we wouldn’t have had this kind of connection or the opportunity to understand each other’s lives. I remember she has a very pleasant voice, great cooking skills, and she’s very beautiful. The Hive really is a place full of hidden talent, it’s amazing! By seeing someone else’s life, I’ve realized that I still have a lot of room for personal growth. I see the differences, and it motivates me to improve my own life. For a middle-aged person, the potential for growth is no less than that of a child; sometimes it might even be greater. It’s like a circle—the larger the diameter, the larger the circumference, and the more we encounter the unknown. The unknown makes the boundaries of exploration wider.

I had originally planned to take my daughter out to play these last few days. The weather was bad when we returned from Xiangshan, and my calf was sore and numb. But my daughter’s calves seemed perfectly fine, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because children have faster metabolism, and their lactic acid was all metabolized? When my calves finally stopped hurting, the weather became hot again, and the sun turned into a tyrant. But now, compared to the hottest days of summer, it's much better. Speaking of which, my calves recovered more quickly thanks to a sudden idea to massage with coconut oil. I didn’t expect that after massaging on the first day, I’d feel almost healed. The process was naturally a bit painful, but on the second day, after massaging and stretching my legs, I felt like they were back to normal.

I took my daughter to a park near her old kindergarten to play. My plan was to find a shady seat, sit there, and let my daughter continue practicing jump rope. Of course, plans often seem perfect, but my daughter didn’t follow the script. She’s the type of kid who wants me to join her in everything she plays. After practicing jump rope for a bit, she wanted to play on various sports equipment in the park. She kept asking me to help her climb up or take photos of her. I felt like I was her little assistant, busier than she was. She was originally going to play on the slide she used to love when she was younger, but when she touched it, it was too hot. She said it would burn her bottom, so she gave up. Later in the evening, she told me she wanted to go play again tomorrow at 5 pm.

This child is really quite good in some ways. Although she occasionally has the “big losses,” she does learn from them. For example, when we go out, she knows to wear long pants to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Last time we went to Xiangshan, even though she wore a Hanfu, she still wore long pants underneath. When taking photos, I pulled up the hem of her skirt, so it wasn’t obvious. I told her wearing long pants would affect the look, but she wouldn’t listen. But the priority is not being bitten! When we went to Nanjing to visit my sister, my sister brought her some pineapples. She didn’t dare eat too much, saying it would make her mouth tingle. At first, she didn’t listen when I advised her not to overeat, but after she experienced the discomfort of a tingling mouth, she learned on her own how to handle eating pineapples. This is probably part of a child’s growth process.
