畑で働くと、幸せを感じる

undefined

Today, I harvested sesame before the typhoon arrived, worked for 2 hours, and felt very happy.

I recommend anyone who feels they can’t go on living, can’t keep reading, or is unhappy to work in my grandmother’s field or the wasteland occupied by my grandmother; it’s very “接气”, fighting with nature, interacting with “生” beings rather than cold, mechanical, artificial objects like computers and phones—a very unusual experience.

When my grandfather was still alive, he also liked to take me farming; he had a fairly large garden called “Yi Meng Garden” (壹梦园).
I have always believed that a real life must be experienced by oneself. When I was very young, I was taken to the mountains to dig the soil with a hoe; sometimes the soil was dug up badly, and occasionally I caused some damage. My family never blamed me; on the contrary, they indulged me, guided me, which was completely different from the experience at school.
The feeling of being on the mountain made me feel that I am connected with nature, not merely existing as a consumer in the food chain and supply chain.
My grandfather has been gone for almost five years—four years, actually; he passed away during the 2019 National Day due to complications from acute leukemia.

People are really different from each other.
I go to places with a strong natural vibe to rest, and it works very well, such as around Gangcun, in the mountains, and Qujiang New District (good greenery).
But my mom really likes artificial landscapes, so we can’t hang out together.
Finally, I’m envious of those who have land to farm; it seems my hometown no longer has any. I only once, when I was very young, went with my grandmother to apply fertilizer :rofl:

The name is really good!

How is sesame produced later? I haven’t looked into it.

Hahaha, my grandfather was actually a Chinese language teacher, and his own name contains a “壹” :smirk_cat:
