The winter is coming, and I am about to have a job. My career is "warm the bed for my wife".
As to my wife, she is absolutely a icy beauty (At first I want to say she is a coldblooded animal, but I am afraid she is not happy to hear that). Her temperature is a natural thermometer, it is warm in the summer and cold in the winter. The temperature is proper only in the spring and autumn.
However I am a warm man, the weather doesn't have a big effect on me. It is just like the water in the well, it is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Due to it, I become to a natural air-conditioner for my wife.
Of course I am useless in the spring and autumn. These seasons are my golden seansons, at night I can do anything until anytime I like.
In the summer, my wife's theme song called "A fire in the summer". "When it is the summer, I am like the fire of the desert.
If you ignore me, you have to be brave to accept the result." When the sun grills the ground, my wife's temperature starts to be on fire. At this moment I will hear a familiar poem "I will use my scalding love of fire to melt your frozen frost." I said I am like the water in the well, when it is in the summer, I am cool all over. She said my cold look is not suitable.
"Poor man, let me melt your glacial heart." Oh, this is my wife.
Fortunately later we bought an air-conditioner. I am set free! The sky is bright in the summer, finally I feel how wonderful it is in this summer!
"When the temperature will stop to drop down? Nobody knows how suffering it is. There was a northern wind again last night.
The beauty is afraid to approach to the bed." Li Yu's poem is as well as my thoughts. I heard the temperature forecast the cold air would keeping on arriving. I feel so regretful that I didn't buy the warm/cold air-conditioner. Now from yesterday, I began to do my work--to warm the bed for my wife. My wonderful online time was seized because of it.
In the winter, my wife's temperature is surprisingly cold. My feeling is as well as passing the river in the north with my bare feet in the winter. It is a penetrating freeze, and it seems it will never be melted anyway. Especially her big feet. Ouch, my God! It is just the frozen meat in the fridge. When I am writing here, I can't help having a chill.
However, I can't show any complaint. Once I have a little bit complaint, my wife will be so considerate to say:"OK, if you don't want to get this job, you quit. I dare not to quit, you know there are a lot of people lose jobs today. It is really not easy to find a job. I have to cherish my hard-won job!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you go to work?"
"Oh, I am coming."
Excuse me, I have to talk to you later. Time to go to work. Bye bye!

As every of my good friends shall know, Duo Duo is a member of our family. I am very sad to say that he left us forever on Feb.11,2005. He was just too old, the vet was unable to do anything for him. We had many good time together and good memories still left on my mind.
You went to our home as a puppy. I still remember how you snored. I always believed that you could survive it, but I was wrong. I brought my son to see you. I told you that you would be fine and you could play with him soon. I am sad that you just left. I thought you were just sleeping but your eyes never opened again. You shall know that I miss you very much. At the same time, sometimes my baby gives me happy time, so at least I am not that sad. However, I still wish you and him can grow up together and share the happy time.
I hope you are living in a better place now, and I miss you!
