? I want this life,
Flowers cover the eaves and follow the wind.
Running water today, around the bright moon.
Grow flowers and vegetables, grow simple likes,
? A sympathy, a love.
_ _ _ _ "Live life into a poem"
Lu Su, a Zhejiang writer in 1970s, is a member of Chinese Writers Association, and is good at poetry and prose. I like the pastoral life of vegetation.
The book "The Life I Want" contains many essays and poems, which records her stable and rich poetic life hidden in the countryside.
You see, I am busy making tea and picking cherries in spring, catching frogs and listening to crickets in the fields in summer, and harvesting millet in autumn. In winter, the family played rice cakes around the bonfire and ate sweet-scented osmanthus candy made by their mother. Their introverted feelings, simple life and exquisite daily life are different and full of joy.
The book is divided into five parts, only bending over to beauty; Diligent and unhurried; Not lonely and free; Like love, like love, it is not easy to survive; Make a poem with daily necessities.
At the beginning, it is written that spring tea is used to make tea. From picking to spreading to fixing, it is cautious step by step. The tacit understanding of heat, pot temperature and gestures will determine the compactness and handsome value of tea shape. After drinking the new tea, it will be sealed and collected, and it will be finished in a week or half.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such a complicated process is bound to be boring. Tea picking and making will be blackened and cracked due to too much tea pulp, and it will burn and bubble. However, tea people get something when they are tired, and the more tired they are, the happier they are. This is the joy of their harvest, enjoying such a busy joy.
A friend of mine also lives a comfortable life with mountains and water. Although he is in the prosperous secular world because of the heavy burden of life, he indulges in mountains and rivers as soon as he has leisure. Climbing Baiyun Mountain every weekend and holiday has become his daily routine. It has become a normal life to start with the dew of dawn and go home with the shadow of the stars. Prepare food and tableware, have a picnic by the stream, occasionally bump into people on the same road, enjoy food, drink tea and chat.
Recently, I have been fascinated by tea picking and tea making. I invited my friends to pick them together and bake them slowly at home. According to the methods and steps in the book, I spread my own tea, fried tea and dried tea. In fact, the homemade tea soup has excellent color and is really a good product. A poetic life is the envy of everyone.
In early spring, the cherry is red, and the author and the bird compete for the fun of picking cherries, which makes people smile. Clever as a bird comes alive in her works, just like a naughty child deliberately picking this spring food with himself and picking freshly cooked cherries in the moonlight. Sweet cherries have been cleaned up long ago, and you can't eat enough without leaving a whole one. They also pecked and chewed, leaving many semi-demonstrations, which was too naughty.
Those farm utensils, such as rice baskets, stone troughs, antique dressing tables, ivory combs, and objects handed down from generation to generation, bear the memories of the previous generation, traditional modeling, true feelings and simple love, which have always been there, even if the years pass.
The sweet-scented osmanthus candy made by my mother, no matter how long it is put, is the taste of old wine, and the older it is, the more fragrant it is. Sweet-scented osmanthus candy is a part of maternal love. When I think badly, I want to cry when I open the lid of sweet-scented osmanthus candy and smell the fragrance. I can hardly stop crying. I dare not eat any more. I'm more afraid of going home regardless of eating. Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar contains the breath of mother. No matter how far away we are from home, we will always miss it.
The small bench in childhood is the biggest playmate in childhood. It can be used not only as a tool, but also as a little doll, puppy, toy soldier ... It is like a brother and sister waiting for their parents to come home late for countless nights.
The beauty of nature is everywhere. In the cold weather with snow particles, we can also have fun. A room full of steaming rice cakes, a room full of happy smiling faces, filled with the breath of winter, and the family talked enthusiastically around the fire or half a nest.
A mother is riding a bicycle with a 14-year-old girl. The girl's sitting posture is very strange. The whole body leans forward and climbs on the mother's back like an octopus. Looking carefully, it turned out that her mother's clothes were missing a button and she was worried about being frozen by the cold wind. The little girl gently protected her mother's skirt from being blown away by the wind. As the saying goes, a daughter is a mother's intimate little cotton-padded jacket. It is precisely because of how many such small hands, timid and easily broken women can become indomitable great mothers.
Living is better than dying, because when there is an opportunity, dying is really quiet. A super-rich man enjoyed a rich life in a luxury car, but when his business failed and one day he went bankrupt, he felt desperate. At this moment, he suddenly saw a bicycle repair booth by the roadside, and the guy who repaired the car was as busy as a happy top. He was envious of the joy that grew inside him. At this moment, he felt that the biggest failure was not the worst.
There is also a young man riding a tricycle who seldom laughs on weekdays, but one day he kicked off his bike happily because his son would call him dad. You see, happiness has been accompanied since the beginning of life. No matter how worried we are about life and how confused we are about emotions, we can't refuse happiness. Happiness suddenly illuminates you like a meteor. At that moment, we were our own kings.
Those charming gardenias, magnolia, jasmine, peach blossom and plum blossom, like the strong wind in spring, blew the petals of ten thousand pear trees at night, and the sunflowers that followed the sun, the Bai Yutang with a flowered wall and the white Muxiang flowers all blossomed as scheduled, so wonderful no matter where they were or when no one appreciated or applauded.
Country life is quiet and peaceful. Ordinary life, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Sweet mountain spring water, fresh air, bright windowsill, tables and chairs, free birds and sounds of nature. Green bamboo garden, golden pond, old house covered with green vines. Stars all over the sky, fireflies flying among the vegetation, these small lights, natural light, the most intoxicating thing, enjoy a quiet corner of daily necessities with my family.
Looking forward to such an idyllic life, we must also accept the heavy responsibility of life. Busy life, a chicken feather in life, often makes me exhausted. Those countless trips to and from the hospital every month are difficult and painful. However, just because I am hungry for books in busy days, I have enriched my spiritual life from books, and I have regained my courage to face the hardships of life, so that I can calmly smile at the heavy life, face helpless diseases, live in the present and accept blessings and disasters from God.
No matter how hard life is, there will be some small blessings, such as being free to climb the mountain and breathe the fresh air in the mountain, and standing on the top of the mountain to feel the momentum that other mountains are dwarfed. Playing with children, sharing the happiness in their lives, having a good time reading with parents and having fun with children ... these are enough for me to put aside my troubles and pains and enjoy the happiness at this moment.
The ideal life is not having everything, but being able to arrange what you want to do calmly and firmly.
A person has to walk a lot. After experiencing the sudden prosperity and desolation of countless lives, he will become mature and understand the life he really wants.
Life is too short to practice penance. Happiness is a day, so is sadness. Why not spend it happily? Life is also made up of countless trivial things. If your heart is full of love, you can make your life exquisite and beautiful.
