Chapter 7 Returning to the Garden

Most of the people who love literature like me are also very envious of rural life, right? It's just that rural life is not a utopia that everyone fantasizes about. If such a worry-free country really exists, no one will refuse it, right?

For example, there is such a job, you don't need to work 8 hours, you don't need to sign in and out in the morning and evening, and you don't even have a supervisor or a colleague, but your salary is paid as usual;

Suppose, there is such a woman, knowledgeable, understanding, and does not need you to try her best to please and please, or even does not need you to do anything for her, only asks you to be her boyfriend;

Suppose there is such a tool, which does not require you to consult various classics, does not require you to spend your brain power to feel familiar, and then spend more time to master, or even does not require you to actively think about what you need, it will teach you all the knowledge and skills;

If......

Well, no more dreaming, anyone knows that this is impossible. People with slightly normal intelligence, even if they lack intelligence, will know that if it is really true, they must accept it unconditionally, which is harmless, a business without capital, and a sure profit. What do I mean? It is probably okay to think about daydreaming, but it would be a waste of your brilliant genius imagination to keep such fantasies only in a fleeting thought.

This world is contradictory, you and I both know that there is black and white, high and low, big and small, long and short...... Interestingly, using contradictions allows us to see certain things more thoroughly. If you have a 40-watt light bulb at home, you think that the brightness seems to be a little insufficient, even if you look directly at the light bulb does not feel dazzling, and then turn off the light to sleep, wake up in the middle of the night by urine, can't help but not go to the toilet, and the result is more and more sober, so you open your eyes and go to the toilet, in order to see the way, turn on the light...... surprise! The 40 watt light makes you feel dizzy. It's the darkness that gives you a new perspective on what you know.

Another one, if you climb the stairs, the first floor is counted as 5 meters, and if you climb to the 5th floor in one breath, 20 meters seems to be very high, but that's it. Then I heard that Mount Tai is 1,500 meters above sea level, and you think it is 75 times the height of the current one, this analogy is very accurate, and Mount Tai is nothing more than that. Later, when you finally had the opportunity to climb the mountain, the mountain road was winding, and you finally found the step that recorded the altitude of 1500, and you were as tired as a grandson. So, when you think of 8848 on Mount Everest, you are in awe, and you are much more pious than when you knew 1500.

Okay, let's get back to the topic. The role of fantasy in reality is actually very important, the more outrageous fantasy is, the greater the gap between fantasy and reality, the easier it is to touch people's hearts, and the easier it is to make their hearts stronger. I used to envy the birds to fly, I felt that "the sky is free to fly" is a very high level of freedom, until one summer, the rain poured down, the rain poured into the house, the furniture floated, many trees outside were uprooted, a sparrow soaked, fell on the windowsill to take shelter from the rain, stretched out its hand to symbolically shelter, but could not fly, and the outside was still stormy and stormy...... Therefore, envying the bird's ability to fly is as naïve as the fantasy of making sure at the beginning, although the bird can fly, it still has to face the wind and rain. Also, most of the creatures in nature are tired of running around to forage for food and avoid predators, and they don't have time to enjoy flying. For birds, the ability to fly is innate, and it is not worth it at all, because such a skill is as if it has everything.

For example, knowing that feathers will encounter wind and rain and cold waves, knowing that flying is only the most basic ability of a sound bird, just as ordinary and mediocre as six or seven billion people can walk upright, knowing that although flying is fast, it is possible to fly far away without finding enough food to satisfy your stomach...... After knowing the above realities, you still love flying, then you can tell others that you really like flying.

As for the pastoral life, the ideal imagination is that the sun rises and the sun sets, without officials urging taxes, without tidying up weeds under the scorching sun, without considering the amount of rain, without considering the health of crop diseases, without considering pest infestations, without considering whether the necessities of life can be obtained, without considering whether the wives and children are as poor and happy as themselves......

However, these questions should be put into consideration, after careful consideration, I still love the countryside, the life of retreat, I think, I can proudly tell anyone, I like the pastoral life, for this from now on I will work hard to get up early and go to bed late, although I am not good at farming, but I can work hard to love the work I use to make a living, and no longer escape the problems encountered in the work, try to solve the problem, so as to solve the problem of food and clothing, just like the harvest of farming, I will care about the needs of my wife, Even though we don't love brands and luxury goods (which I really can't afford), I try my best to buy something practical and beautiful, and occasionally extravagant so that my wife doesn't feel that life is too hard...... Come and make a cup of tea, read a book, and be content.
