Zhang jing xuan @pitstop I think it takes at least three months to practice using chopsticks. Watch a lot of learning videos. Don't worry, it needs a lot of patience

This one lady in the store told her son no to a doll. Telling him that only girls play with dolls. Why do parents do that? Boys will grew into men some day and will help take care of the baby. They will cook meals some day....

Zhang jing xuan Yes, our base pay is the government-mandated minimum wage of 8 hours a day, overtime pay is 1.5 times the regular pay, and weekend pay is twice the regular pay. I worked 120 to 130 hours of overtime a month, which seriously exceeded the labor law

Zhang jing xuan Yes, with the development of The Times, fewer and fewer people buy wool, cloth and other things, and more and more people buy finished clothes. When I was a kid, my mom would go to a tailor's shop and make pants. That was more than 20 years ago, and our next...

Zhang jing xuan Wow, that's terrible. When you're with a big family, there's a lot of fighting. It's a waste of energy. I have been renting a very small room, it is only 40 square meters, I can live on my own, no one disturbs.
