The countryside is a relatively difficult area, and farmers are very eager for a better life. Every period has a period of good wishes or goals. Every farmer has his own ideal life. An old saying in the countryside, "A cow in 30 acres, a woman's doll on the kang is hot", was a good day for farmers at that time!
In the backward rural period when land reclamation depends on shovels, plowing depends on shovels, plowing depends on vegetable harrows, and farming depends on hands, the good days that farmers dream of are to have 30 mu of land, a cow to farm, a wife to marry, a doll, and a hot kang to keep warm in winter. That is a good day! So for a period of time, this state was regarded as the goal of farmers' own struggle through labor!
