YEARS OF WANDERINGS 浪迹天涯 | Chapter 18
2017年12月26日, 星期二
According to Tseyu's own story, "There used to be three persons in this bureau, but when I arrived two of them had been sent elsewhere, and I had to attend to everything myself. Every day I had to sit at the shop, selling wine and salt, and supervising the weighing of pigs and fish for tax assessment. In order to carry out my duty I had to wrangle with the farmers and merchants about weights and measures. At night when I came back, I was so tired that I stretched myself in bed and fell asleep and did not wake up till the morning. The next day I had to do the same things again."
旧以三吏共事，余至，其二人者适皆罢去，事委于一。昼则坐市区鬻盐、沽酒、税豚鱼，与市人争寻尺以自效。暮归筋力疲废，辄昏然就睡，不知夜之既旦。旦则复出营职。

The brothers had not seen each other for four years, and Tseyu had put on a little more flesh. He did not look in the best of health, for he was too busy to practice yoga at night.
读到这句话的时候有点好笑，想到之前的调侃“英年早肥”，以及，年轻人不要总熬夜。
