How many people are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, and how many people yearn for the nature of the countryside, but how many people can really give up the convenience and comfort of the city and the temptation of fame and fortune and return to the countryside to live a simple life? Today Huahua will introduce you to a couple who put their pastoral dreams into practice. Ali, the hostess, likes planting flowers, writing, traveling and being willful! Master, captain, simple and honest, love singing, love his wife. They contracted a 70-acre pond on the shore of Honghu Lake, fishing and picking lotus, planting flowers and raising dogs, and built their own paradise rouge waterfront in six years! 10 miles away, in front of the lotus pond, in the bloom of the courtyard, at sunrise and at sunset. Lying in bed, listening to birds singing and frogs croaking, leaning against the window and watching the stars and fireflies, it was a simple and clean day, and no one bothered me, only each other. In the morning, the captain propped up the boat to catch fish and shrimp, and Ali put on his hat to take care of the garden, watering, fertilizing and weeding. Although he was sweating profusely, his mouth seemed to show a bright smile. After finishing the housework, Ali will choose a good book, sit in the rocking chair in the garden and read it carefully, waiting for the captain to return. When she is in power, she will sit at the window and draw some pictures. Although she has no professional training, her paintings are refreshing! When the lotus is in full bloom in summer, the captain will prop up the paddle and lead the beaver to pick lotus seeds. The captain likes singing, especially when punting. It is more suitable to play in an open place, although he is intoxicated and self-righteous. But the only listener, Ali, couldn't stand his out-of-tune magic sound. Sometimes when you throw a piece of melon skin, your ears are clean. Smile, before you know it, you already have a full basket. Eating raw or cooking porridge at home is delicious. Usually Ali and the captain will grow some side dishes and be self-sufficient. Luffa, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes all grow well! A raccoon likes to grow flowers, so the captain fully supports her. Not only help her pave the garden road and erect fences, but also let her use the broken pots at home and even wooden boats to raise flowers. A raccoon dog is not at ease. It grows flowers in a unique way with its inherent beauty! Changchun flowers are planted in faded barrels, full of small fresh flavor! Leopard-patterned rain boots are filled with water and planted with money grass, which instantly changes from a lady to a girl. The jar used by my mother-in-law to pickle pickles was used by Ali to grow ivy, adding a quaint atmosphere! Abandoned slippers and kettles are used to raise flowers, picturesque! When the garden is full of flowers, Ali will use the early morning time to pick some flowers and put them in bottles on the dining table. He will enjoy those beautiful flowers while chatting with the captain, which is simple and simple. This life of immortality, envied by everyone, seems relaxed and comfortable, but it has been difficult to achieve. This goes back to 10 years ago. At that time, Ali and the captain were still in the city, trying to gain a foothold in the city and own a house of their own. Unexpectedly, the business failed and their days were shortened. They chose to go back to their hometown Honghu fish pond and live an idyllic life. The couple set up a hut next to a remote lotus pond, lit kerosene lamps, washed their faces with fish pond water, worked at 3 am and went to bed at 9 pm to avoid mosquitoes. This calm and primitive day was broken by a stormy night. The water level in the lotus pond rose sharply, the wind blew over the roof and the rain poured into the hut, so it was a trembling night. The next day, when the rain subsided, Ali had mixed feelings and vowed to build a house of his own here, so they rallied and went back to work in the city again. But this time, the purpose is not to gain a foothold in the city, but to save money to settle down in the lotus pond! In 2007, they returned to their dream lotus pond, contracted a fish pond and began to practice their pastoral dream. Because of the inconvenient transportation in the lake area, they used wooden boats to transport cement, wood and steel bars. Bricks and tiles are carried by two people on their shoulders. At the end of the day, 200 bags of river sand are loaded and unloaded 400 times. A raccoon's shoulder is worn out. She thinks that during that time, you have done all the heavy work in your life. Although you were too tired to cry, she gritted her teeth and insisted on watching this scene, thinking about the idyllic appearance in her dream! Once formed
Beautiful hollyhocks and hopeful sunflowers are her favorites! Finally, after hardships, Ali's dream rouge waterfront took shape. The house is built by the water, and the terrace extends into the lake, where he can listen to frogs, enjoy the cool breeze, have a study and a kitchen, and enjoy the lotus pond. There is no money to hire a designer for interior decoration, and Ali will do it himself! Keep the original brick wall style of the study, lay a kang, put a board, put some pillows and bring a pot of chlorophytum, which is perfect. Using the remaining PVC pipes and wood as desks and bookshelves is economical and easy to use! Finally, please bring the book in, then hang up the calligraphy and painting, and the charm of the study of rich bamboo, money grass and ivy will come out immediately! In the afternoon, holding a favorite book and a cup of light tea, the lotus leaves outside the window are graceful, and the books in the window curl up. You are happy and comfortable! The kitchen is big, but the white color is too monotonous, so Ali and his friends drew some simple pictures on the wall and ordered a small wooden frame. Without spending a penny, the background wall is ready! The dining table is next to an old door panel that has been removed, covered with old sheets and some potted flowers. When friends come, we can have fun together! As for the living room, Ali made a pair of curtains and tablecloths with blue printed cloth sent by friends, and spread them on a small table full of ancient literature and art. In the morning, he ate a few lotus leaf buns and a bowl of porridge. It's good to live so simply! The house is ready, and the next step is to plant flowers outside! This is Ali's favorite and best job! Rose, Jasmine, Lingxiao, Iris, Dianthus, Yu Meiren! There are 100 kinds of flowers and plants in the yard, and there are bloom every month or even every day. In January, Ali received a wooden scaffold from a friend, put some ivy on it and hung it down. It is quiet and beautiful! In February, before everything germinated, leeks germinated quietly, camellias were shyly ready to open, peach trees were spitting small tongue, and in the moonlight, they lit candles to enjoy the flowers. Ali was intoxicated in this garden alone. In March, iris is gorgeous, red, blue, white and purple, competing to open. In the morning, there are only a few flowers. Take a nap, the flowers are already in bloom! April storms and orchids stole the limelight, and all the green trees rushed to blush, full of vitality and spotless. May is the corn poppy that Ali doesn't love enough. This beauty is not only charming, but also has excellent hair growth. You can plant it every year, but it's spontaneous every year, even if you don't love it! June, of course, is the season of lotus and water lily. Ali's family doesn't need special species. It's all in front of and behind the house. A warm wind blew, and my eyes were full of faint fragrance. In July, Ling Xiao broke out, covered the walls, and flowers poured down like a girl's long hair. It's hot, and it's another day to put down the lounge chair in the arbor and stagger. Barracuda in August is in full bloom, with blue and yellow patches, holding its head high like a noble little princess! In September, sunflowers still bloom fearlessly to meet the scorching sun. Although vigorous and ordinary, but also live out their own! In October, jasmine blooms for a long time until October. When a flower is in full bloom, it can make the courtyard full of fragrance. Take it off and make a pot of hot tea. How beautiful! 165438+ October is Chaoyang. Every morning in full bloom, Ali will spread out the yoga mat and exercise in this little morning glory sea! By June+February of 65438, all the flowers had basically withered, leaving only plum blossoms, yellow incense and safflower. Even if it snows and snows, it will bloom loudly even if no one appreciates it! The sun and the moon change, and spring is hot and cold. Ali and the captain gradually adapted to this slow-paced life. Facing the earth and blue sky every day, witnessing bloom once is a harvest. A bowl of porridge after hard work is happiness, returning to simplicity and finding truth. This should be the dream of many of us!
