Definition
小日子 is a colloquial noun that refers to a simple, comfortable, and happy daily life, especially the cozy domestic routine of a young couple or small family. It also has a very traditional folk meaning — inquiring about a bride's menstruation days for fixing the wedding date — but this usage is rare and archaic in modern conversation.
n.
