When I got off expressway, I went straight to my destination-Happiness Commune, Xia Qing Town, Dayi County.
? The titles of "design lights up the countryside" and "Chengdu craftsman village" are impressively engraved on the external wall of the commune. Walking into the community, mini villas, characteristic shops and public places criss-crossing Chinese courtyards are full of beauty; Nostalgic and quaint bricks and tiles, ingenious wall decoration, pavilions in front of and behind houses and courtyards, and the creation of masters, literature and art, petty bourgeoisie or pastoral style are all pleasing to the eye.
A winding path leads to a secluded place. I came to my friend's residence and entered the hospital. On a table covered with a navy printed tablecloth, hot tea, fruit and snacks are waiting for the guests. Small courtyard full of sunshine, green plants on the low wall, bright flowers in the corner, tinkling spring water and a cup of green tea make people feel relaxed and happy in an instant. Soon, the neighbors came to greet their friends, and they couldn't help feeling that such a warm and harmonious family atmosphere was rare. I learned from a pleasant chat that there are painters, poets, agricultural experts, handicraft artists and teachers nearby ... there are often elegant parties, and neighbors in the east ask them to play the piano. At the same time, each family was given dozens of square meters of vegetable fields, facing the river outside the community and under the hillside. As a result, learning vegetable planting techniques and exchanging farming experience have become daily exchanges among commune neighbors. Open the door to welcome guests and study behind closed doors. Occasionally, the neighbors of the partition wall put small wine and side dishes together, and the warm current between the old neighborhoods instantly flows back, which is enjoyable.
At lunch time, my friends and I went to the "Yuhuazhai" free vegetarian restaurant. When we started, we saw the sign "Stop talking". We stood behind the line of about seven or eight people, walked to the table, took a big bowl by ourselves, the staff scooped up the dishes, and then bowed their heads and went to the table to eat. Occasionally there are small voices, and the overall environment is quiet and orderly. Because I was not distracted, four simple vegetarian dishes were served with rice, which was neither salty nor oily. Although it is not delicious, it tastes very comfortable. My friend reminded me in a low voice that every grain of rice should be eaten clean, otherwise I would ask to finish it when I put the bowl. Out of the canteen, I am still excited and curious about the strange experience of this meal. It turns out that this is a spontaneous, public welfare and charitable restaurant. Members may voluntarily or voluntarily donate some grain and oil. Most vegetables in restaurants are grown by themselves. This mode of operation really surprised me, and I immediately thought of the word "sustainable development".
It is undoubtedly another cultural core and value core of the commune to solve the problem of eating and let members find a sense of belonging in the big family in free meals.
"Just have dinner with a middle-level officials. Working in vegetable fields is also a good hand! " Friends stay less than a year, and acquaintances are everywhere. She is not only the owner of a small courtyard, but also a happy member of this commune.
Living a simple life with a serious attitude and the members living and working in peace and contentment really make me feel that the "Happy Commune" is worthy of the name. For people who have lived in the city for a long time, it is undoubtedly a good place to put their bodies and minds, so that Yuan Shen can return to his original place and live a good life.
"Such a nice place is very expensive, right?"
"I bought it on 20 16. It's only five or six thousand one square meters. Of course, it is now over 10,000. "
