A lifetime of idle life is also a rare happiness

Downstairs, grandma likes to hoard cardboard boxes to sell, so I folded the cardboard boxes that I didn't want at home and put them at the door, waiting for Grandma to take them away and sell them when she was empty.

Today, I saw that there were already seven or eight cardboard boxes at the door, and the grandmother did not come to take it, so she picked up the cardboard box and went to her small warehouse to find her, the grandmother was sorting out the things in the small warehouse, saw me smiling and squinting, and said, I can't put it down, I can't put it down here, so I didn't go to get it...

I glanced at the small warehouse, which was really full of piles, and asked the grandmother, why don't you sell these?

The grandmother smiled and replied to me, "It is to sell, the person who collects the waste products does not go to work, I just called him, saying that he will not go to work until after the fifteenth day of the first month." ”

"Does he have time to go to work and have a time?" I asked the grandmother incomprehensibly.

"That's not it." The grandmother replied with a smile.

"Don't look at people collecting a waste, the working hours can be exquisite, usually 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to work." Work from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Closed on weekends

Windy and rainy do not go to work

It's too cold to go to work at minus 1 degree

It's too hot not to go to work above 36 degrees

Holidays do not go to work, holidays he himself to give himself a holiday break, do you Taoist people pay attention to work? ”

I:...... (I thought it was really exquisite.) ）

I saw that the person who collected the waste was young, the conditions were not good, but I did not expect to respect life, and to live a leisurely and free life at will, which is also a kind of realm.

The grandmother said to herself while cleaning up the cardboard box I took to her, don't look at the simplicity he wears, pedaling a broken tricycle, the money earned is not much, it is high happiness, every time I see him, he is smiling, and the temperament is particularly good, when doing things, not rushed, not impatient, the mood of dealing with him will become better.

I nodded, imagining the picture of the grandmother saying him, smiling every day, no worries, no worries, and the people who deal with him are in a good mood, what a happy person! No wonder he works so leisurely, it may be that he has found his own meaning in life and knows how to make himself happy!

In the past, I always felt that happiness and prosperity were one and the same, until I lived for half a lifetime, I didn't know that they had nothing to do with each other.

Let's take an analogy

You usually eat big fish and meat, suddenly one day ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles, just met a good mood, just like to eat noodles, this moment you will feel particularly happy, especially satisfied, especially happy.

So you see, happiness and happiness have nothing to do with what you eat, but depends on whether you like what you eat, how you feel when you eat, and so does life.

I think that the person who collects the waste is like this, it just so happens that he likes this kind of life, it just so happens that he doesn't care about money and fame, and it just so happens that he is doing what he likes, so he smiles and relaxes every day.

In fact, sometimes I think that as long as I am happy and happy, it is also a rare happiness to keep my points in peace and poverty and live a life of leisure.
