I found that even if I live the most ordinary life every day, it is difficult for me to be precise and skilled in daily necessities. In fact, the most helpless situations almost always occur in these trivial household affairs...

——Xiaoyi Qingyu's insights

The life that has filled my ears since I was young is: establish your ideal early, study well, work well, succeed, and have money. Are these beliefs or trends? Unable to determine

Just like I never understood why my grandmother, a woman born in a big family, went to study abroad while also learning to manage the house, sewing, and cooking.

Until recently, I realized that the focus of life is clearly It's just life itself. I don't understand why I have taken such a long detour. I can work and make money, but I can't live a calm and thoughtful life. I would close my eyes and recall every detail of my grandmother's life, and try to think about how she controlled the lives of the whole family calmly and freely at that time. The memories slowly condensed into the past... why I never saw her upset, and how could I never see her upset? I have never seen her angry, never seen her panic...

I just want to write it down tonight, because I seem to have a clear understanding of life in my heart, so I leave a souvenir

account book

Recalling what I saw, in her account book, there are The book also details the expenses of each season and each month, and how to arrange three different meals a day under a fixed expenditure standard.

Summarizes

and recalls how she organizes and arranges each season. How everyone's clothes and supplies are stacked and classified. She will add new patterns and laces to the old clothes according to everyone's preferences, so that the children can carefully and love the old things again.

Reserve

For making pickles , dried vegetables and miso in autumn, there are exquisite little jars lined up on the balcony outside the kitchen to prepare for winter supplementary dishes. According to the content, bind it into a book, including novels and daily life knowledge...Add brown hard kraft paper on the outside, write the title and time span...When I was young, many novels were written in neat kraft paper. Of course, what you see in the booklet must be put back according to the serial number after reading it, otherwise other children will complain.

She asked my father to make her a large cabinet composed of dozens of small drawers, which she drew herself. The drawings of her parents were scrawled and difficult to understand, but they still made them carefully, which made her very happy. I and other children of the same generation were also happy, because we like to rummage in various ways, and the things in each drawer are different. There are places for buttons, pens, threads, various commemorative medals, candies, headdresses and headbands, change... It was a childhood pleasure. It was not until recently that I realized how convenient and neat it is to store it like this.

She showed me her old days. The money bag is just like a storage bag, with dozens of small squares of light gray cloth sewn on a piece of thick dark gray cloth. Each square can fit a Yuan Datou into it, and can be folded into any shape you want. The size is very convenient to carry, and it does not make the carrier make any noise, which makes it seem elegant. However, when I was young, I completely disagreed with it when I first saw it. Now I think about the taste and feeling of life with this meticulousness and refinement. Yeah, she made an old

snack box, but she pasted it with kraft paper, some with candy wrappers with different patterns on it, some with plant specimens, and only one box for tobacco, with specimens of big butterflies on it, arranged in rows. On the wooden box for storing clothes, it is easy to take, beautiful and interesting...

These trivial things in life that have nothing to do with poverty or wealth are really life. Because they are too common, I did not think about them until I became an adult and got married. Realizing that these are ways of life that need to be learned, I thought this was just my grandmother's personal personality. It is a great pity.

Ways of life are actually about inheritance, but the fathers after liberation dismissed them as the four old traditions. It is a pity

The life skills that women in the old days learned from childhood not only allowed them to calmly control daily life, but also calm down their impetuousness to achieve success and comfort future generations. The beauty of life does not lie in the amount of wealth, but in the undisturbed joys and sorrows, being calm and plain, and the whole family can be warm and dependent on each other. Peace of mind and joy

Therefore, in these chaotic days of fireworks, a woman who lives with her heart does not need to ask for anything, and she is at peace.

Because the richness of the world is far less than the richness of a woman's heart, it is more valuable.
