Children who grow up in the countryside always have infinite memories of nature. When they were young, the living conditions in the countryside were not good, but they had a unique advantage in the environment. Children run and play in the wild, pick wild fruits from trees to eat, look for all kinds of wild vegetables in the grass, and sometimes dig up some valuable roots, some of which can be eaten directly and some of which can be used as medicine. The fields are always full of laughter.
