20 19 is halfway through.
Duoduo's home is in a big yard, with 6 families, surrounded by green trees and cicadas, which is safe and harmonious. We live in Room 4, and No.5 and No.6 are two Indian neighbors. When I first came, I experienced a dinner party in the yard on Saturday night. Each family cooked some food and tasted different flavors. Eat and drink, sit on the swing chair, chat together and share your thoughts. At the same time, I also learned some Indian culture, such as vegetarianism, the status of women, such as inexplicable national self-confidence and so on. In short, every Saturday is a day to talk late. In February, amit brought back two local puppies from far away and became a guard in the yard. The two soldiers have been eating together since childhood. Two dogs will chase, jump and tear in the yard, which adds a lot of vitality to our yard.
Everyone will stop and take a few steps when they see a dog. Dogs are never picky about food. No matter what is put on the plate, they will lick it clean. Soon after, a Dutchman moved to 1 room. He likes dogs very much. He also trains dogs to sit down and shake hands. Sounds good, but the IQ hasn't improved, except it's getting bigger and bigger. He is still a stupid dog, but he is still one of the sources of our happiness every day. Later, China neighbors came to Room 3, and Nigerians moved to Room 2. Six full families are a small "United Nations".
In the 4th Tanzania Chinese Song Contest, my students lost the preliminary contest. Maybe the students are too competitive. They are particularly indifferent to Chinese songs, and they can get high just by giving a rhythm. All the children sang very well and didn't take the students to the finals. So I became the etiquette reception of the contest, and it was a disguised propaganda of our cheongsam culture, right? It's over successfully, and the students are shouting to take part in the next singing competition, so we should practice hard all year round.
Soon, the arrival of our China Year also means that the real bell of 20 19 has rung. The Confucius Institute has prepared activities to celebrate the New Year. First, a small lecture was given to the students about the origin, customs and significance of the Spring Festival, and then different cultural activity corners were held, including Bao jiaozi activities, Chinese knot weaving, dragon and lion dancing experience, tea learning, Tai Ji Chuan drills and so on. How lively it is! Finally, cultural performances. As one of the most important festivals in China, it is our mission and responsibility to spread the tradition, culture, customs and positive spirit of our festivals to foreigners.
On New Year's Eve, people from China in dodoma get together to celebrate the Spring Festival. We ate many delicious dishes, such as chicken, duck, fish and crab. Of course, jiaozi is indispensable. It is a symbol of the festival and a taste of home. Life abroad is not so lonely.
Outdoor barbecue. In sunny weather, it's perfect to have a barbecue by the lake with three or five friends. Preparation began early in the morning, from cutting meat, curing bacon, skewering meat to making a fire and spreading materials, and participated in the whole process with high energy. The mutton was just slaughtered in the morning, which is very fresh. We also bought chicken wing sausages and marshmallows from dodoma, where materials are limited. Cotton candy is super delicious, soft and waxy, and even tastes like ice cream. After several rounds of barbecues, I caught up with the fishermen and bought some fresh shrimps, which were very delicious. At this time, when you are full, you'd better go to the lake for two laps, blow the wind and see the surrounding scenery, and soon you will blend in with the scenery.
The barbecue by the lake lasted from noon to dusk, and I set foot on my way home before sunset. The red Boluo Lake has become particularly gentle and intoxicating in the afterglow of the sunset. This outdoor activity, which integrates enjoying beautiful scenery, relaxing, getting in touch with nature, tasting delicious food, toasting together and gathering friends, makes people linger.
After the transfer, I lived with Yong Fang and Shuangshuang. Writing in the middle of the night, the most unforgettable thing is the silhouette of the three of us together, lamenting the wonderful fate, and extremely reluctant to part with the small family we run together. As if we had just arrived in dodoma, we were exploring our little life together: three novice drivers were learning to drive, one was driving, and the other two were watching the road while encouraging the drivers to say, Wow, that's great! This is a good driving. Keep refueling, so everyone is driving more and more skillfully. Three people buy food and cook together. No matter who cooks what food, everyone will say it is delicious at the first bite, and it is really delicious (haha); When I want to keep a cat, when I want to go out and improve my food, I will start at any time. When we want to entertain friends, we will cook a hearty meal together, sing together when we want to sing, drink together when we want to drink, and talk to each other when we want to chat.
We have been encouraging, praising, supporting and integrating into each other's lives, and even gradually, others will respond to questions at the same time: huh? The other side's stalk is easy to receive, and even laughter occurs at the same time. I want to record more details about our little family and our little story, but I find that I have filtered out a lot of things in my mind, but I don't know what to record. So I thought, instead of remembering details, it is better to remember those little stories and small details. We lived together for half a year and made the three of us a whole. When others think of one, they can think of the other two (it sounds strange like conjoined twins's), and we also have a tacit understanding that belongs to each other.
It was March when my neighbor in China moved in. Meeting them is one of the luckiest things for me in dodoma. Brother Liang, Sister Helen and Brother Chen Mou originally lived in Room 3, because Sister Helen's husband is in the United States, and it takes half a year to get a green card. In April, she went back to America to make up time. She is handsome and decisive. In fact, she is a very young woman. She pays attention to the exquisite life and insists on exercising every day, which makes me like and yearn for it. After my sister went to America, there were only Brother Liang and his brother at home. We live across the hall and often go to their house. Brother Chen Mo is particularly like Deng Chao, and Brother Liang is particularly like Yang Liwei. Both * * * are outstanding talents who love their families, and their actions are far greater than their verbal promises, and they also have their own personalities. To tell the difference, Brother Liang is a very serious person, while Brother Liang is a little Buddhist. Brother Liang loves drinking tea and inviting people to drink tea. He may be a beginner in my tea drinking. He taught us how to know and taste tea, how much water is needed for what kind of tea, drinking green tea in the morning, drinking black tea at night and so on. Master led us in, practiced in person and enjoyed drinking tea. To choose Liang Ge's tea, Liang Ge said that he prefers Jin Junmei (of course, he likes all the tea in his refrigerator), and it is said that Tieguanyin tastes delicious. My favorite tea at present is Anji white tea, which Amway gives to basin friends who see here.
We chatted together and learned a lot from them. We will play landlords together and adopt a scoring system. If we lose, we will be punished by sports, which will improve the intelligence of many landlords. Recently, Brother Chen Mou returned to China, and I, Shuangshuang and Brother Liang "fought" more frequently. As a result, Brother Liang crushed us. Of course, Shuangshuang and I also did more squats. I also set up a song player to turn my home into a KTV private room from time to time to release myself. The most important thing ... or going to their house for dinner. What spicy incense pot, mutton soup, braised mutton, cumin mutton, saute spicy chicken, braised beef, Regan Noodles, Lamian Noodles, rice noodles, cold rice noodles, gluten, fried noodles, Chinese hamburger, fried buns, steamed buns and so on. I won't tell you if I eat white and fat three times a day. We will go to the cabin for dinner. I know, I know. At the beginning of June, I set up a weight loss flag in my circle of friends. I admit, Flag fell down successfully and couldn't get up.
When you meet good neighbors and comfortable people, you will enjoy the time together, understand their bright spots and listen to the life experiences of some people you have been to. Getting fat, um ... is probably an unexpected added value.
In the Chinese Bridge Competition, the first two Tanzanian students will represent Tanzania to China to participate in the Chinese Bridge Competition for Middle School Students in the World. The competition is divided into three parts: answering questions, speaking in Chinese and talent show. Join hands with China people to build a dream for the future. In his speech, each contestant described the origin of learning Chinese, and firmly believed that learning Chinese well would definitely build a dream for the future. This time is probably our proudest moment, and I also believe that students learning Chinese well will definitely contribute to the future. Xiao Fangfang and I have prepared an entertainment performance to show the energetic teacher to the students, which may be different from the seriousness in class. The students shouted and applauded desperately under the stage, which was a very precious experience.
Small animals are really not raised as expected. We adopted two kittens in March. Cats are more delicate than dogs. Since they came to our house, these two cats have been carefully raised. Their cat litter is the soil in the yard, so we should change it frequently. Cats have to clean up all kinds of things at home. After India's neighbors vaccinated the dog in the yard, we quickly asked the doctor to give the cat two shots, and we didn't know what vaccine was given. I found that there were bugs on the cat (I thought it was a flea, but later it was found to be a local bug), and I didn't know it was normal until I asked. Later, I asked the doctor to give them a mosquito repellent vaccine. Although the cat is artificial, we still love it. By default, the male cat rhubarb is the elder brother and the female cat huahua is the younger sister. My brother and sister are very close. If my brother is in the house and my sister is outside, my brother will always make a miserable cry until he lets her in. When he sees each other, he will kiss and lick each other and love each other very much. When two cats see us, they will jump far away, run after us and rub around us to show their affection; I am curious about everything and can't help but explore. I can play with a small paper ball for a long time; When you are hungry, you will lie on the door or meow around. Cats will fall asleep in unexpected positions such as resting their thighs and lying down, and they will squint in the sun and enjoy taking a bath. When the rhubarb cat walks, the two legs behind it are still "inside the eight characters", and every time I see it, I can't help laughing. Just now, rhubarb scratched his hands and then scratched my thumb (unintentionally), but I can't hate them, but I'm worried that it's time to cut their nails tomorrow.
Their clingy characteristics, funny expressions, funny sleeping positions, always curious and clean-loving nature all make people feel very cute!
After raising these two puppies, they not only gave us company, but also added a lot of happy atmosphere and felt a kind of trust and dependence. I'm even curious about the world of cats, a life, a way of living.
One by one, our party is saying goodbye, and some of them have already returned to China. No matter how far away, we are all luxury flowers, and we are all blooming seriously.
You and I travel hand in hand for the same dream. You and I spend a short time together and a long time apart. One day in the future, we will find that we are proud of ourselves. One day in the future, we will witness the shining of the Chinese dream and the pursuit of crossing Qian Shan, and our hearts will still be full of strength. In a corner of the world, there is a place where you and I are seriously blooming, and the flowers are blooming all over the house.
If we turn back the hands of time and go back to the first day when we came to dodoma, we both got out of the car with big bags and looked at Yang Mengsi who was driving to pick us up. At that time, I must be looking forward to making time pass slowly. How time flies for half a year! How grateful I am to meet you in dodoma and decorate my youth when I was in my twenties.
