was born in the countryside when I was a child. I envy the life scene of the city people upstairs and downstairs. When I walked into the factory and joined the work, I was busy for more than 30 years. I missed the time I grew up in the countryside.
Recently, I saw a passage from the aesthetician Jiang Xun : "We should not forget that there is a word in Chinese characters that we should reflect on, which is the word "busy". Everyone writes down "busy", which is the "heart" plus the "death" of death. If you are too busy, your heart will definitely die." Being too busy will make you nervous, and you feel that your work and life are under great pressure. If you are too busy, it will destroy your heart. The ancients often said: Life has been so happy since ancient times, and I can get half a day of leisure in my life. In today's fast-paced environment, people's hearts are restless and impatient, I have a feeling that is getting stronger and stronger, and a desire that is becoming more and more real: I want to have a small farmyard, grow vegetables, flowers, chickens and ducks, and live a leisurely life.
In my hometown, in addition to my second brother, there are two yards, which means that my parents also have one yard. The two yards on my second brother's side are basically homesteads for my old life. The old house that I had once had for hundreds of years disappeared without a trace. Now it is the one house that I had just built for more than ten years, and it is the old house that my mother had been worried about when we were young. The yard of my parents was not long, but after they went to my fourth brother to take care of the children, they lived less. However, it has been preserved and a lot of vegetables have been planted in the yard. It has been my parents' small vegetable garden for more than ten years. Because people in their hometown all have this traditional consciousness: when people get old, their hometown is the final destination, and they will be able to return to their roots after a hundred years.
In the bustling tide of crowds, fame and fortune tempt people's hearts, disturbing the leisure of life, and making people stay in a tense rhythm every day, and most of them feel breathless. After running around nervously, I really want to slow down my hurried pace and find the true meaning of life. The ancients said: The unity of man and nature. When you are in it, you will find that people grow flowers and plants, and flowers and plants also raise people. Think about it, if you raise some flowers and plants and plant a little fruit and vegetables in your own small yard, does it feel like you have opened up a pure land for your soul? In the small yard, put on a small table, brew a pot of fragrant tea, look at the pots of red flowers and green grass, watch the vegetable seedlings sprout and grow taller, bloom and bear fruit, and feel the natural feeling, is there the poetic and picturesque feeling of "the plums are golden and apricots are fat, the wheat flowers are snowy and the cabbage is sparse. The sun is long and the fence is falling, but no one passes by, only dragonflies and butterflies are flying." Green leaves and flowers make nature the best companion to comfort the soul.
The famous philosopher Heidegger once said: "People live quietly, even if they are quietly, they can feel the beauty of poetry by listening to the sound of the wind." The more nervous the rhythm of the overall environment, the more impetuous the people's hearts are. The more anxious a person is, he must know how to brake himself and sit down quietly, "knowing to stop and then being calm, and then being calm can be calm." There is a small courtyard that makes the restless heart calm down, calm yourself, watch the flowers, listen to the rain and smell the fragrance, calm down and calm the heart. Friends and relatives gather together, pick some green vegetables in the yard, and make a table of home-cooked dishes with farm style. It may not be rich, but you can eat freely and drink peacefully. Talk comfortably and laugh freely. Don’t worry about disturbing your neighbors or considering that the store is closed every day, early, late and late. Wondering flowers, tasting tea, and sleeping with all your heart is not a beautiful thing in life.
When life glitz fades, I just want a small yard of my own, to grow flowers, taste tea, and grow vegetables and live. Don’t participate in the hustle and bustle, don’t envy the prosperity, live your life the way you like, and have a happy life for half a day.
