Literature is not a thing
In the summer, there are often visits to the door of the door. I also don't enter the house, and there is a small stool and a small chair in the small courtyard in the shade, and it is a small half day to sit. I spent a long time in front of the computer, so I went out to the yard to let the wind blow. Ventilation is not simply walking, the useless grape branches on the grape rack grow like crazy day by day, do not hold down, good grapes have to give it a deviation. Pick up the scissors, lean back and waist, and in a moment a pile will come down. Bunches of well-grown grapes demonstrate under the leaves, their round eyes staring at you as if they were hooking you and asking you to try it.
Don't be fooled, just think about the nose and eyes are squeezed in one place, let alone eat.
Not only are the grapes not constrained, but the grass in the garden is also more positive than the vegetables, and I feel that the grass that was dropped yesterday will grow a stubble the next day, making people hesitate whether to eat grass that is more tender than the vegetables. It is not unreasonable to say so. Let the cow choose between cucumber and grass, and the cow will definitely choose the latter. Not only cattle, but also sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, compared with livestock, people really do not necessarily eat more nutritiously than them. I envy the intelligence of the animals' diet, humans spend too much time on eating, and often eat a body of problems. And the cattle and sheep in the mountains, every day to support a big belly basking in the sun, none of them can have high blood pressure, diabetes.
On the issue of eating grass or not, the opinions of the family cannot be unified, but there is a plant that is not negotiable, that is, the mother-in-law. As a grass, the mother-in-law was a little bitter, but it was defeated. Children do not eat, cattle and sheep do not eat, chickens, ducks and geese eat, there are old people to eat.
Chickens, ducks and geese have no initiative in eating, but there are older people who eat, as if they are self-pleading. Even cattle and sheep know good and evil, people who have come from a sweet time, but feel that bitterness is also a good taste, but bitterness is bitterness, eating is a happy thing, but it has become a bitterness. Seeking pleasure in suffering, it sounds like it is a little bit pretentious.
As a kind of grass, the mother-in-law can already enjoy the same treatment as the vegetables in the garden. No matter where it grows, when pulling grass, it will be released, and the small green body is self-aware of its own value, but it is not ostentatious, the horns are long, there is a slit to settle down, and a little sunshine is brilliant. The flowers of the mother-in-law are also beautiful, of course, the mother-in-law in the vegetable garden rarely grows to flower. The mother-in-law who has blossomed is too old, and the old mother-in-law is an elderly person, and the bitter taste is too much, so it will be disliked.
When doing these tasks, if There are neighbors chatting at Guo's sister-in-law's house, most of them will also carry me. Working, participating in everyone's idleness, it is also a reward for not leaving home, the voice flies across the board staff, what tune is not lost, the content is also novel, in addition to the child, or the vegetable garden, the cucumber knot is good or not, the growth of the bean vegetable eggplant, and then the long Li family of the owner, listening to the heat.
In the middle, the sister-in-law Li who opens the mahjong table at home will always ask me, you stay at home every day, don't get tired, come out to play. At first I didn't pay attention to how she would know I was staying at home. Later, I understood that the words were for my own business. Which daughter-in-law of a nearby family goes to whose house to spend time, Sister-in-law Li has a spectrum in her heart, not I am an unreliable, let her wonder.
I said, I can't stay idle, but I don't say why I can't stay idle. In addition to the small garden, in addition to the grapes, in addition to the dozens of open roses and gardenias on the steps, which one does not occupy the hands and minds, let alone enter the house to eat and drink. Eating and drinking can be talked about, and articles cannot be talked about. Articles are something that is done behind closed doors.
I think that most of the things that can only be done secretly cannot be obtained on the table, and even if the article is printed on the paper, it is still white paper and black, not flowing or colorful, and even less than the green grass growing in the garden. I can't, in front of people to move a topic that is not salty or light, it is also rude. Every time on the street, I happily discussed with the people I met about the cultivation of cucumbers, how to sow cabbage, and it was a blessing to become a person like everyone else.
I have always felt that literature is not a thing, it can be like a ripe watermelon, cut into pieces, everyone gathered together, while eating and talking, sand, really sweet.
