The thatched roof of the hut is low and small, and the stream is covered with green grass. Drunk Wu local drunk, gentle voice, white-haired old man who is it?
The eldest son is weeding in the bean field on the east side of the stream, and the second son is busy knitting chicken cages. My favorite is my youngest son, who is lying in the grass, peeling the lotus just picked.

The eaves of the hut are low and small, and the stream is covered with green grass. The slightly drunk Wu dialect sounds gentle and beautiful. Whose are those white-haired in-laws?
The eldest son is weeding in the bean field on the east side of the stream, and the second son is knitting a chicken coop at home. My favorite naughty little son is lying on the grass at the head of the stream, peeling off the lotus just picked.
Appreciate:
This poem was written when the author was rejected and hit by peacemakers in his later years and his ambition was frustrated. The poem describes a peaceful, quiet, simple and comfortable life in the countryside, and it cannot be said that the author whitewashes reality.
Judging from the fact that the author has been paying attention to the restoration of the Song Dynasty, he yearns for such an idyllic life, which will further stimulate his patriotic enthusiasm for fighting against nomadic people, recovering the Central Plains and reunifying the motherland. As far as the situation at that time was concerned, this peaceful and quiet life also existed in villages far away from the anti-gold front. This work is not the product of the author's subjective imagination, but a reflection of real life.
