Speaking of the life of isolating at home alone, Ge Bingsen said in a relaxed tone that after getting up at about 7 o'clock every morning, watching TV for a while, he almost began to cook, sometimes two dishes and a soup, sometimes cook a pot of dishes to deal with it. In the afternoon, I played the piano, sang some songs, listened to music, and my three daughters would often make video calls with him, and the day passed quickly. If you need any materials, contact Tang Xue, "Special thanks to her, help me purchase a lot of things, I am also very concerned, there is nothing inconvenient in life." ”
