（地球村部聊天 室记事VI）
I realize that there’s no remedying the past. But I know there’s hope in the future. After all I have not gone far on the wrong road. And I am aware that what I do today is right，yesterday wrong.
悟已往之不谏，知来者之可追；实迷途其未远，觉今是而昨非。——陶潜
Up and down the streets, I must have run-A thousand times or more in search of one, who I have concluded, cannot be found；For everywhere, no trace of her can be seen,When, all of a sudden,I turned about, That’s her, where lanterns are few and far between.

266.聘礼
剑琴：若鸿说他爸妈国庆节可能要来我们家。
蕙兰：国庆来此有何公干？
剑琴：来提亲呀。——现在还未确定，大概是国庆节，也可能是春节。
蕙兰：路途遥远不用那么麻烦，往返一趟途中很辛苦的。
瑾瑜：事情越简单越好。
蕙兰：你们想啥时结婚？
剑琴：等若鸿爸妈来同你们商议后再说。
蕙兰：这事我们一窍不通。
瑾瑜：让若鸿爸妈自己决定，随便什么时候结都行。
剑琴：我们家这边办不办酒席呀？
蕙兰：由男方家里去办，我们这边就免了。回门只请亲戚聚一聚，同事一律都不告知了。
瑾瑜：两情若是久长时，不必在乎啥形式。聘礼也可以免除。
剑琴：那怎么行呢！聘礼肯定要的。
蕙兰：我们结婚时，你爸一毛聘礼也没出，就这么白白地送人了。
