Night Reading 丨 Lin Yutang: My Wish

Anchor reading classics, accompany you to say goodnight, hello friends, here is lightning night reading, I am Wucheng County Rong Media Center anchor Ya Nan, today with you to share the author Lin Yutang's article "My Wish".

I want a study of my own, so I can work with peace of mind. And do not how to clean and tidy, should be a little messy, seven points of solemnity with three points of casual, live up to comfortable. Under the ceiling, it is best to hang a long lamp and enter the room, with a slight smell of oil smoke. In addition, there is the smell of smoke, books, and all kinds of unknown smells of room.

Night Reading 丨 Lin Yutang: My Wish

It is best to put a small bookshelf on the sofa, and all kinds of books can be read at will. There should not be many kinds, but not too complicated, only a few books that are easy to read in the heart, and books that have been re-read several times—even books that everyone in the world calls boring. Don't be too far-fetched and tedious in your theory, only to meet your personal taste. The new Western books can be juxtaposed with the wild sorcerer' exposés, and Montesquieu can be juxtaposed with Sherlock Holmes's novels.

I want a family that can still be the same, so I don't have to be bound. When I work downstairs, I hear the sound of my wife laughing upstairs, and when I work upstairs, I hear my wife laughing downstairs. I want my children who have not lost their hearts, who can chase me in the rain, who like to take a bath like me.

I want a small piece of garden, not covered with green grass, as long as there is soil, so that children can move bricks and tiles, water flowers and vegetables, and feed a few poultry. I want to smell the roosters in the morning. I want a few towering trees near the house.

I want a few close friends, who don't have to abide by the law, and are willing to confide in me their grievances. A few friends who can talk deeply and respect my proclivities and my opinions at the same time.

I want a good cook who can make a good soup and is good at cooking clear dishes. I want a very old servant who admires me very much, but I don't know what article I have done.

I want a good collection of books, a few sketches, a box of cigars on the desk, and a lady in the family who knows my personality and can let me do my work freely.

I want a few bamboo trees and a few plum blossoms in the courtyard. I want the summer to be rainy and the winter is bright, and I can see the extremely blue blue sky, just like what Beiping saw.
