I think there is an idyllic dream in the heart of every tired adult, a yearning for a quiet life and an escape from reality. Tao Yuanming's "Planting beans down the south mountain, grass is full of beans and seedlings" seems to have been holding the string in the heart, so this string caused vibration and woven a wonderful dream, in which the mountains and wild flowers were green, the huts rose in smoke, the sunrise was made, and the sunset rested.
The life of Komori's hostess Ichiko is undoubtedly the dream of thousands of tired souls.
Ichiko is undoubtedly lonely, alone in an old house, although often accompanied by friends Noriko and Yuta, but the home is only her own home, a single-parent family grew up until her mother did not say goodbye.
As an adult, Ichiko went to work in a supermarket in the city, where she used instant noodle boxes to grow small radishes in the rented projectile land, accompanied by her own egg rolls and rice balls, often wrapped and given to her favorite male colleagues.
The male colleague was grateful at first, but the reckless efforts of the male colleague invisibly brought pressure to the male colleague, and the flame of love was also extinguished in the ruthless mockery of the male colleague and other employees against the male colleague behind his back.
Ichiko can't fit in the hustle and bustle and returns to Komori, guarding the old house alone, missing a family member who will never return.
She enjoys solitude, tastes solitude, takes life delicately and seriously, and uses this loneliness to draw a line with the noisy world. Maintain the love of food, seriously live every festival, seriously make every dish, from ingredients, to processing, every grain of rice is simple and full, every leaf is vigorous and verdant.
From this, I think of those who have lived alone for many years, living in a place that cannot be called "home", stuffing their stomachs haphazardly, passing the time haphazardly, and arbitrarily handing over their love to destined passers-by, but I cannot have such a pastoral garden that can be returned.
No matter how tired you are, you must live seriously!
