Only by savoring it carefully can you know its charm.

The four seasons in the small villages in the south of the Yangtze River are very distinctive, with spring, summer, autumn and winter all having their own distinctive characteristics. Spring is the season when all things revive. Everyone wakes up from "hibernation" and begins the new year's farming work. Summer is perhaps the busiest season of the year. Hot, busy and chaotic have become synonymous with it. People in the village have to start working in the fields, repairing roofs, preventing floods, cleaning gutters, cleaning latrines, and there are a lot of cattle pens, pig pens, chicken nests, duck sheds, and rabbit hutches to feed. Autumn is the harvest season and the transition period between hot summer and cold winter. A lot of "mess" left over from the summer must be cleaned up at this time. Winter is the "hibernation" season! The whole village fell silent as if by magic. Snow is the messenger of this season, falling one after another, like covering the earth with a thick layer of "preservation film". When people step on the snow, they will leave a footprint and hear a special sound: crack. Whenever the sound "嚓" sounds, grandpa will say: "Listen, the eunuch has gone home." Or: "The eunuch has gone out again." Hearing the same sound, my father will laugh: "Hey, the colonel has gone home." Or: "The colonel has gone out again." Such a life is rich and simple. This cycle of four seasons, year after year, constitutes a vivid pastoral landscape. Only by savoring it carefully and comprehending it with your heart can you understand the charm of life. And life in a small mountain village may be the best "teacher".

Are ancient ideas credible?

My father had such a good relationship with the colonel (eunuch), why didn't grandpa let him into the house? Do you need to listen to those rumors? Isn't it just because he is an eunuch? People who cut off their descendants have come out, and the village is very particular about it, and the old people have their own teachings. People who have cut off their descendants have committed sins in their previous lives, and they are full of bad luck and malicious intentions. This is just the thought of the older generation. If it hadn't happened, do you think he would be willing to do this? Grandpa would not let the colonel enter the house, saying that bad luck and evil spirits were not allowed to enter the house. Every time this happened, my father would quarrel with grandpa, but the relationship between father and the colonel had never changed because of this matter. This will only make the relationship between father and colonel better and better. Do old ideas still need to be changed, or else we will lose more? The nicknames given to people in the article are also very insightful! Just like in real life, giving nicknames is disrespectful to people. What the article said is that without a nickname, it feels like you have no position. What do you think?

A friendship comparable to Jin Jian

Originally, he was a soldier that everyone respected, and he was praised and admired all the time. Later, he became a eunuch who was despised by everyone. He was looked down upon and insulted, and he was in a state of embarrassment. In people's mouth, he has two nicknames, "Colonel" and "Eunuch". Except for some children, no one dared to call him "eunuch" in front of him, but behind his back, almost everyone in the village called him "eunuch". Only his father, Tigress, calls him "Colonel" on her face and behind her back, not because she is afraid of being discovered by scolding him behind her back, or because of anything else, but because Tigress has a deep friendship with him. They were born in the same year and in the same month. When they were young, they always played together and did many things together. Later, they also became mentors to the same person. They were childhood sweethearts and their friendship lasted forever. To Tigress, the Colonel was his best and best brother. You will feel sad when you are apart, but you will be happy when you get together. Even if the colonel has done bad things, even if the colonel is called "eunuch" by the whole village, he will not care. In the face of friendship, other things are not important. What's more, the colonel didn't mean to do anything bad, he just did it unintentionally. Later he became more vigilant and never did it again. The tigress didn't want to hear others calling the colonel "eunuch", but there were so many people, and his own strength was so meager. He was more than willing, but he couldn't do it, but he could still stop it at home. As a result, whenever he heard his children calling the colonel "eunuch", he would beat him hard; the tigress even quarreled with her father many times over this. As for the colonel, just because he wanted to play with the tigress, he was looked down upon and insulted by the villagers, and was unwelcome and looked down upon by the tigress's father, the old witch. This is the friendship between two people. No matter what outsiders say, they can't make the tigress feel dissatisfied with the colonel, and they can't let the tigress call the colonel "eunuch" behind his back. It would be impossible to say that the friendship between the two of them was not deep. If it's not deep, then how can we still play together after being separated for many years? If it wasn't deep, how could the tigress come forward to defend the colonel? If it wasn't deep, why would the colonel be willing to suffer the eyes of the villagers just to play with the tigress? This friendship is as strong as gold. Words cannot break it, and swords can never stop cutting it.

The family moved to a new home, and the man next door was a people's policeman. His child is usually a bit fussy. Every time he comes home from school, he knocks on the door very hard and shouts: "Dad, open the door for me quickly." Even if he has a key, he is unwilling to open it by himself. During an operation, the policeman's neighbor died, leaving only his 10-year-old son and wife. Later, the father said to his child very seriously: "When you go home, open the door yourself and call me again, or I will beat you." The child was at a loss and asked why. The father said, "When you call daddy, the children next door will definitely feel uncomfortable hearing it. Think of others and hold the key to open the door yourself."

Heartwarming! The plot has ups and downs, the writing skills are profound, and it touches people's hearts!

The novel is short and concise, but has strong bones and flesh. In 8 hours, we walk through the life of a hero, which is tragic, desolate, and absurd... It makes people sigh, and their hearts are desolate, indescribable, and unable to calm down...

Rather than escaping, it is better to face

Life is a long word, and you have to experience something before you can understand something. Life is cruel but kind. People in this world experience the devastation of life, but enjoy the warmth of life. Life is in the sea, which comes from the Hokkien language. Life is like the sea, changing, ups and downs, but you still have to live well. The Mai family believes that life is an ocean. Since everyone cannot run away or escape, it is better to fall in love with life. Life is like this for the colonel, "Life destroyed him, but it also allowed him to overcome the fear of life and death and the harshness of the world, and became enlightened and proud of the world." The colonel is an invisible person, at least in the eyes of ten-year-old "me". There are stories all over the Colonel, but no one seems to be able to fully interpret them, not his father, his grandfather, the old security chief, or the people in the village. Everyone said he was weird because he couldn't understand or understand. My father has a very good relationship with the colonel and knows many things about him, but he may not understand because he has never experienced it. Everything in life has taught the colonel how to dazzle in the scenery, and how to live in humility. He has understood the world and seen through life. Only when a person is alive can he be indifferent and detached. Life can be sad or happy, sweet or bitter, only through experience can we understand it. But no matter whether life is cruel or warm, you must live well. It is better to face it than to escape.

Life is full of seas, and daring to die is not called courage, or it is courage. There is no perfect life, imperfection is life. Whose life is not Haihai?
