Daily Life and Flower & Vegetable Sharing

Huiyi Celestial

August is the busiest month of the year at the headquarters. I usually get up at 5 a.m. to start preparing breakfast for the guests. After a two-hour break at noon, I mow the lawn, water the flowers, and handle some indoor and outdoor maintenance and repair work. After dinner, I work until around 8 p.m., then wash up, go online, and head to bed.

Xixia Princess starts her administrative work early in the morning, then moves on to cleaning up guest room trash and tidying the rooms. After that, she immediately begins attending to guests, often answering phone calls during meals, dealing with requests like extra beds or dinner reservations. Sometimes guests arrive very late at night, and she has to wait up. It's a job that requires constant attention and care. She also quietly handles matters related to the resort and many other small tasks we aren't even aware of, all while feeling very blessed. Xixia Princess mentioned that our August income was over 26,000 CAD. This is equivalent to a monthly income of 135,000 RMB, with a per capita income of 45,000 RMB. Isn't that quite profitable?

Xinrui not only prepares lunch and dinner for us, but also cleans and organizes guest towels and bedding, sometimes making dinner for guests and helping me with breakfast when things get busy. Whenever she has free time, she rushes to the vegetable garden to water, fertilize, and harvest crops. After returning, she folds the washed and dried towels and bath towels neatly for use the next day, often working until after 11 p.m. She is the happiest Celestial in the headquarters. Xinrui has also become quite skilled at growing vegetables. The vegetables she grows are more than we can consume. We have shepherd’s purse, pea shoots, spinach, bok choy, lettuce, string beans, zucchini, cauliflower, chives, garlic chives, scallions, garlic sprouts, gourd, tomatoes, peppers, bottle gourd, pumpkins, and celtuce. This summer, we haven’t needed to buy any vegetables from the store as we’ve been eating what we grow.

Now, please enjoy the flowers and vegetables from the headquarters. September 10, 2024
