I have heard the story of the sheep herding baby many times, and I am always asked not to be the sheep herding baby, so I studied hard, and later I found out that I am still a sheep herding baby, but it is not so terrible, life is originally "repeated".

It is worth mentioning that when I was a child, I had at most seven or eight sheep at home, not that kind of goats, not sheep, anyway, the kind of meat sheep, the kind that was fattened and sold, and I remembered my life with them when I was a little older.

Summer vacation is the season of lush grass and the happiest season for the lambs, because they can eat abundant aquatic plants and all kinds of fresh grasses, unlike in winter, where they can only nibble on some hay.

And we also ushered in the time of the holiday, so the team went to the ditch, to a barren grassland, to the river bank, and then while playing while waiting for the sheep to eat their full stomachs, most of the time with other sheep herders in the village, and when the sun sets, they will compare whose sheep's belly is the most mellow.

I spent many summers like this until I went to high school.

During the summer vacation, many times I am not very happy to herd sheep, because the weather is hot, unlike the fans at home, there is no ice cream to eat, and there will be no TV to watch, of course, let alone mobile phones in those days.

But in a blink of an eye, it seems that the throat that has been thirsty for an afternoon is sweeter when it meets clean water, the picture in the TV is far less beautiful than the scenery on the shore, the sky is still very blue at that time, the water is also very clear, occasionally encounter the sluice gate to release the water, and you can also harvest some small fish and shrimp, why not.

……

But since I was in high school, the family's sheep have been sold one after another, and my mother has guarded the house, so that we can go back every month to have a warm place.

High school, college, all the way to the present, working, in fact, is not necessarily as beautiful as herding sheep.

At first, the parents' idea was that they did not want their children to live on the land like them, or rely on a labor force, but fortunately, they did not go to school for so many years in vain, sitting in the office, the wind could not blow, the rain could not hit, they were very proud, I was happy for them, and of course I was a little comforted.

Mother has always been undemanding, she has her own ideas, she has some of her philosophy of life, and my father is probably the fruit of traditional culture, excessive pursuit of merit and fame.

Fortunately, I grew up, had some ideas of my own, and lived a happy life without a "sheep herding baby".
