    Good for you to experience rural life in Zhejiang. My grandparents left such a village in this part of world in their teenage years over 100 years ago. I visited the village about 10 years ago for the very first time. At that moment, I did feel in my heart that I have felt the pulse my root even though I did not know anybody and did not know where to go in the village. I tried my darndest to communicate in broken local dialect. Eventually with village storekeeper's help, I found the house my grandpa built for my great grandfather before WW2. Keep up and let us learn more about experience in such a village.

      南方的农村,大部分家庭的院子后面或者侧面都会有竹子,一方面是因为南方盛产竹子,另一方面是南方人认为竹子可以给家庭带来福气,竹子不但四季常青、韧性强,寓意:“家庭地运势好,儿孙满堂。”
      不过有一点需要了解,就是风水学里,门前一定范围内不能种树和竹子。😁

    So happy to see you have a wonderful life there.
    Get some chickens of your own. They are good companions, from morning till dusk. Other than dealing with their leftovers, they are pretty self sufficient. You don’t even need to feed them, as they will look for food by themselves.
    Having a few strolling in my yard, priceless.

    Understand why you want to live in a place with such a beautiful view. Bought a house in Fuzhou, not in the countryside but sort of hidden away and got those mountain views 😊

    好可爱的村子啊,路面挺干净的,位置也不错,有天空有山有林。我老家在田边,田都没什么人种了,更没有这种云雾缭绕的山景,太美了,羡慕啊。入住都大半年了吧😁祝你生活顺利

    ❤ A Chinese version of “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Just be aware some season in southern China could be very humid, mold grew on everything. You need to choose rug with right material or maybe put a dehumidifier device in the room.

    • @AndyHuang-gz7is

      Just dry it under the sunshine occasionally will be sufficient, just the old way my mom did.

    • @hangtuah888
      @hangtuah888 Před 7 měsíci

      It's a figment of your imagination. I am from Malaysia and the humidity is stifling, about 80% all year round. Yet things only turn mouldy if left wet and no ventilation. 😮😮😮

    • @jeffycmah
      @jeffycmah Před 7 měsíci

      There is a reason why people don't use rugs. I also have a place in the rural area, threw out all the wooden furnitures and replaced with stainless steel ones.

    You are a few that speak English instead of Chinese in your VLOG. You are in a perfect position as a Chinese ambassador to the Western world. Keep it up, and I love your VLOG because you are so relax, honest, a natural!
