In the hearts of the Chinese people, there is always a love for the courtyard, and there is an indescribable sense of belonging to the courtyard, but if we really let us practice this wish, there is not much that can really be done, and there are always many reasons.
"I'm still young, it's time to be busy with my career, and when I retire, I'll go back to the courtyard."
"Now there is not much money, and when there is money, it will definitely build a small courtyard."
"Work is really too busy, let's wait until I have free time." Wait a minute.
In fact, these really do not have much prevarication in it, which is the helplessness of most people, the reality is ruthless after all, and you cannot tolerate wanton waste. You know, if you want to build a courtyard, not only money can solve it, but the time and energy you have to pay is something you dare not imagine.
There is a video of a courtyard renovation on the Internet that is very popular, and in just 5 days, there are more than 500,000 likes from netizens. The protagonist is a post-85 girl from Xi'an. 6 years ago, when I was just a small employee working in a bakery, I had my own dream, and for this dream, I would always be like many young people, thinking about how to get rich overnight, realize wealth freedom as soon as possible, and then realize my dream.
And her dream is to be able to have a small courtyard that belongs to her family, her mother likes to raise flowers, then divide half of the small courtyard for her mother to raise flowers and grass, her father likes to feed the vegetable garden, and also leave half for her father to go to eat, and she and her grandfather who loves her most are lying on a rocking chair and basking in the sun, so that my grandfather can teach himself to play chess and drink tea. Such a natural happiness is the dream of many families, and it also allows families to have a space to accompany each other.
And to realize such a dream, getting rich overnight is really just thinking about it, and after working for a year and a half, I started my own dessert studio. She knows that only by working hard can she get closer to her dreams.
Because of this belief, careful and willing to study, she soon mastered an exclusive set of dessert baking skills, and was recognized by the public, which opened a tailwind period in her life, and her anger was unusually hot, but she knew that she could not relax, and for the dream she had always had, she also had to go on.
Her income has made many small white-collar workers in the metropolis envious, but her life is still the same as before, clothes are bought seasonally discounted, eating is also full on the line, never to pursue material enjoyment, and the small courtyard in her dreams is the motivation for her to persevere.
Finally, in 2017, she decided to take the first step in her dream and find the small courtyard that had appeared countless times in her dream. Turning all over the corners and corners of the suburbs, only one courtyard can get into the eye, although it has not been lived for a long time, and it has fallen into disrepair, but the entire courtyard has more than 600 square meters, and the funds are not sufficient, so it can only be rented first.
Subsequently, a crazy renovation plan began, and after all the people who had visited the courtyard, they could not believe that such a courtyard was no different from the ruins, and the difficulty of transformation was too great, and it was not much different from reconstruction. But this is only the first step of the dream, how can you back down, just roll up your sleeves and do it.
The first step is to do the demolition work, the yard weeds, garbage are cleaned up, and then the house, the unsafe places and doors and windows are demolished, unexpectedly, this demolition, it was demolished for a week, and the garbage was loaded with 28 cars. It's really more tiring than the new one.
In order to save money, it is even more involved in the whole process, doing the most tiring work under the hands of the masons, and constantly learning experience. But what I really didn't expect was that the reconstruction was really difficult, and it would take much more money to build.
Like the wall seepage, you need to solve it, there is no washroom, and there is a serious water accumulation like the steps, there is no systematic drainage, sewage system, so it is better to overturn the reconstruction. These problems, adults are estimated to have headaches, but they are solved by a little girl after 85.
The whole old house was renovated, and it took a whole winter time, and the small courtyard finally revealed its rudiments. And the previous mason woman, and transformed into a painter, and the house is really old, very lacquered, brushed 5 times to be satisfied, did not expect, artificial saving, the material is more spent.
Spring is coming, the planning of the courtyard is in the mind, directly draw it, arrange a batch of palm trees and cherry blossoms first. The palm trees are very beautiful, and survival is not a problem, and the small courtyard is also very compatible, the cherry blossoms needless to say, have always been extremely fond of, and when the cherry blossoms fly season, it is like being in a fairy tale world, too beautiful.
When some large trees were planted, and then successfully stole the master from the garden master, he learned to plant a number of Japanese red maples by himself. The cuteness of the red maple lies in its changing leaves in all seasons, red as a flame in spring, lush in summer, and in autumn, the whole courtyard will become colorful and colorful.
After entering April, the temperature rises, and the season suitable for the growth of seedlings arrives, so I list the seedlings that I have been thinking about for a long time, and I go to the flower market to pull 4 trucks of seedlings back and forth. After returning, the post-85s little girl cultivated these flowers step by step according to her own plan.
Anywhere in the corner, you can see the colorful flowers, all year round, you can always see the lush plants, this is the breath of life, in the whole courtyard, everywhere is beautiful and moving flowers.
Due to the limited budget and tight funds, the places that can be saved are trying to find ways to do it themselves, including the signs in the yard, which are hand-painted by hand with the help of girlfriends. I can really go up to the hall and go down to the construction site. For the dream, it is also a fight.
The transformation is steadily progressing, looking at the dream is about to come true, she can't wait to share it with her family, but the day is not the wish, the grandfather who likes herself the most and also likes the yard is sick, until she dies, she can't look at the courtyard she has worked so hard to complete.
This is her biggest regret, and it also makes the little girl after 85 heartbroken, "I have been blaming myself, this thing was done too late, I did not sit in the rocking chair in the courtyard with my grandfather who loves me the most." "But the Slovak people have passed away, and no regret will help, can only say, we must grow up in regret, do not leave regrets."
The small courtyard lasted for 1 year, and finally began to bear fruit. In order to commemorate the realization of this extraordinary dream, it has been liked by 500,000 netizens on the Internet.
But there are also some different voices, most of which are: "What I lack is not the yard, but the money." "I can do it even if I have money." "The most important thing is money." Although you can't refute anything, do you know that in order to dream, this post-85 girl spent five years to fight, and only then did she have this yard where she could live with her family and spend the rest of her life in peace.
This small courtyard also welcomes visiting friends and some admiring tourists, and the post-85 girl also shows a hospitable side, she is a baker, and she uses excellent desserts to entertain these admiring friends.
In addition to being a great baker, she also loves handmade crafts, and she is very good, even on weekends, she runs some simple classes to teach people to make some handicrafts.
More and more people are coming, and the weekends are getting more and more lively, and many people come to learn some skills, such as flower arrangement, tea art, and photography.
Everyone who has been here will hang up a smiley face and leave, and the smiley face will still hang on this wall, and these beautiful things can stay here forever.
This is the story of the post-85 girl, in order to dream, spent 5 years of savings and built the dream courtyard.
Jobs once said something meaningful:
Life is short, don't live according to the wishes of others,
To do so would be to waste one's life;
Don't be bound by dogma,
Because that means someone else is thinking for you;
Don't let others clamor for views
Mask your inner voice,
Most importantly,
Have the courage to listen to your intuition and the instructions of your heart,
They know to some extent what they want to be.
