In May, he learned to sing, and the cart for grinding sickles was busy all summer. In June, the fruit fluttered and picked Li Yu for you to taste; In July, crickets sing in the wild and pick watermelons to eat pulp; In August, the crops will be harvested, and hemp weaving is busy, spreading big red dates and picking a gourd; Build a threshing floor in September; /kloc-Crops are put into storage in October, and millet, yellow rice, sorghum, millet, beans and wheat are opened; Hunting in the mountains in November, leaving fox skin as clothes; It was freezing in the twelfth month, and a lamb was slaughtered at the ceremony, and the pig kept it for its own use, and the big pig gave it to the government.
