Jinyu: Is there good news, do you want to hear it?

Huilan: A pie fell from the sky?

Jin Yu: It’s roughly the same. I just finished the Qingming Festival holiday and had two days of classes and a long holiday. Are you very jealous?

Huilan: It’s not a festival, where did you get the long holiday? Spring break?

Jin Yu: Open the eighth week calendar, and students study on Thursday and Friday. I happened to have no classes on Wednesday, and I will usher in another five-day holiday.

Huilan: What's the point of having too much vacation? I have to worry about doing nothing.

Jin Yu: It’s more troublesome to do nothing than to do a lot of things, so my schedule is no longer blank.

Huilan: How do you plan to spend the five-day holiday?

Jin Yu: Read books in the morning and take a ride in the bus in the afternoon. I run one place every day in the southeast, west, north and middle, and feel a different feeling of going out in the suburbs.

Huilan: It’s really a day to have no time to go out for a long holiday. Why not go far away during the five-day holiday?

Jin Yu: The distance is too far, so there are many concerns. It is convenient to be close, with mountains and water. I like purity, but not messy.

Huilan: You seem to have lived a retired life.

Jin Yu: It turns out that "retirement" is not empty at all, and life is very fulfilling every day.

Huilan: It’s not that I live so freely and comfortably because of books and Internet.

Jinyu: I have told you a long time ago that you will never be lonely when studying.

Huilan: With the Internet, communication is smoother.

Jin Yu: There is also a "third party" that cannot be missed, and life cannot be missed.

Huilan: Good, Jin Yu, you are quite brave. Who is the "third party"? I will be attracted by it from the truth!

Jinyu: Didn’t you tell me, who else would be besides her?

Huilan: When did you say it? What is her name?

Jin Yu: Take the bus and go out for a walk in the suburbs. There are mountains and waters there, is it a "third party"?

Huilan: Tell me, I’m sorry that you have that thief heart, nor do you have that thief courage.

Jinyu: There is nature there without any pollution. My "third party" is the most true and pure.

Huilan: Naturally, decorate and free people.

Jin Yu: There are books, Internet, and nature, and the life of gods is nothing more than that.

Huilan: Enrich your life and stay with you forever.
