Go back and come to Xi Ci (and order) 1
I am poor, and I can't farm enough to support myself. Infantile surplus room 3, no millet warehouse 4, birth capital 5, no surgery 6. Relatives and friends often advise Yu to be an officer, but he is pregnant and eager to succeed. There will be four things 10, princes take love as virtue 1 1, uncles take poverty 12, so they are used in xiaoyi 13. When the storm is still 14, I'm afraid of long-distance service 15, and Pengze goes home 16. That's enough wine. So I asked for it. In a few days, there is a feeling of returning to China as soon as possible. What is 18? Qualitative is 19, which is not obtained by correction. Although hunger and freezing have been cut by 20, they are fighting against their own diseases. Taste comes from personnel 2 1, all of which are self-help. So I was disappointed, generous and deeply ashamed of my lifelong ambition. I still hope a yard of 24. When I put away my clothes, I will die at night. Sung Hoon's sister died in Wuchang 26 and fell in love with Junben 27, so she was dismissed. Mid-autumn festival to winter 28, in the official more than 80 days. I was told to go back and forth because things were going well. B four years old, 1 1 month 30.
When you come back to Xi, the countryside will transfer to Hu Bugui 3 1? Since the heart is the form of service, I am disappointed and sad alone. If you realize the past, don't protest. 34. If you know what will happen, you can pursue it. Not far from 36, but it wasn't 37 yesterday. The ship is far away, and the wind blows clothes. Ask the old highway before 39, 40 hate the first light in the morning.
It is looking for Yu Heng, with happiness, heading for 4 1. Welcome, son, waiting for gate 42. The three paths are barren, and the pine chrysanthemum still exists 43. Take the young man into the room, where there are wine bottles. Lead the pot to think 45, let the court manage 46. Proud of leaning against the south window, easy to judge the knee. Garden Day includes fun, although the door is fixed and often closed. Help the elderly rest 50, correct their heads, and look at +0 from a distance. Clouds come out of holes unintentionally, and birds don't know when to fly. The scene is going to enter 53, caressing loneliness and lingering 54.
Come back, please rest assured that you will never travel again. The world is against me, why bother to ask for 56? Love words to please relatives 57. Play music and read books to eliminate troubles. The farmer told Yu Yichun and 58 that something was going to happen to Xichou 59. Or life towel cart 60, or lone boat 6 1. This is a gentle and elegant way to find the gully 62, which is also rugged and passes through a hill 63. Mu Xinxin began to flow and prosper 64 and spring trickled down 65. When everything is fine, I feel that my journey of life is over.
It's already 67! How long does it take to get back into space? Do you want to stay? What does Hu Wei want? Wealth is not my wish, and the land of kings cannot be expected. Huai went to 7 1 alone, but he planted a stick to get rid of 72. Deng writes poems with 73 and Lin. Chat, ride, and return to the finish line. The fate of love is absurd. 75! [ 1]

Vernacular translation
The family is poor, and farming and mulberry are not enough for their own living. There are many children, there is no surplus grain in the rice jar, and I have not found the ability to make a living. Most of my relatives and friends advised me to be an official, and I had the same idea in my heart, but I lacked access to officials. Just going abroad, the local officials regard virtue as virtue, and my uncle tried his best to help me because his family was poor, so he sent me to a small county to be an official. At that time, the society was in turmoil, and I dared not be an official in the distance. Pengze county was a hundred miles away from home, and the grain harvested by the farm was enough to make wine, so he asked to go there. After a few days, I began to feel homesick. Why is this? Nature is allowed to be natural, which is reluctant; Although hunger and cold is an urgent problem to be solved, it is painful both physically and mentally to go against a person's original intention of being an official. In the past, when I was an official, I always treated myself to dinner. Therefore, I am disappointed, excited and deeply ashamed of my lifelong wish. Still hoping to see this crop mature, I packed my bags and left overnight. Soon, my sister who married the Cheng family died in Wuchang. She was anxious to be removed from her official position. I have been working for more than eighty days from the second month of autumn to winter. I resigned and got my wish, so I wrote an article entitled "Looking Back". Second year 1 1 month.
Go home! The countryside will be deserted, why not go back? Since your mind is enslaved by your body, why are you sad and depressed? I know that past mistakes are irreversible, but I know that things that have not happened can still be remedied. I am really lost, but it's not too far. I realized that the choice now is correct, and the behavior I used to do was lost. The boat floated gently on the water, moving briskly, and the wind beat gently, blowing up clothes. I asked the pedestrians in front of me for directions. I hate being too slow in the morning.
Finally, I saw my home and ran over with joy. The servants greeted me cheerfully, and the children were waiting at the door. The path in the yard is going to be deserted, and pine chrysanthemums are still growing there. I took the children into the room, and the bottle was full of sake. I picked up the hip flask and drank it myself. I looked at the trees in the yard and felt very happy. By the south window, I feel proud and complacent, and I feel very comfortable living in a humble hut. Walking in the yard every day is a pleasure. The door of the small garden is often closed. I go out for a walk with crutches, rest anytime and anywhere, and always look up at the distance. Clouds naturally emerge from the mountains, and tired birds know to fly back to their nests; The sun is dim, the sun is about to set, and the hand caresses the solitary pine.
Come back! I want to break up with secular people. The world is contrary to what I thought, so what do you pursue abroad? Take heart-to-heart talk among relatives as fun, play the piano and read books as fun, and eliminate worries. The farmer told me that it is spring and farming will begin in the fields in the west. Sometimes I call a car with curtains, and sometimes I row a boat. Sometimes through the deep winding valley, sometimes through the rugged mountain road. The vegetation is lush and the water is good. I envy all things in nature to grow luxuriantly in time when spring comes and sigh that my life is coming to an end.
Forget it! How long can you live in this world? Why not let it die of natural causes? Why are you unhappy? Where are you going? Wealth is not what I want, and there is no hope of becoming an immortal. Take advantage of the beautiful spring time, go out for a walk alone. Sometimes put down the rattan and pick up the farm tools to weed and cultivate the soil; Climb the mountains in the east and shout loudly, and recite poems by the Qingxi. Just let nature take its course and finish the journey of life. What is there to hesitate about?
